The indictments contained fourteen counts, on each of which each defendant was liable, if con- victed, to $5,000 fine, two years tn jail, or Voth such fine and imprisonment. Mr. Smythe argued in his brief that the United States Supreme Court had held that where there was confilct be- tween the wording of a law and the intent of its maker the Judge was to consider the obvious legislative in- tent. He asserted that the obvious intent of the Lever Act was to pre- vent profiteering In all necessaries of life, Judge Mack in his decision says the outstanding question “in this case is whether the piece of cloth Is a neces- sary within the meaning of Section 4 of the Lever Act, or is wearing ap- pare) as defined in Section 1 of that act, as amended by the act of Oct. 22, 1919." After citing the sections of the act, Judge Mack adds: “The indictment !s based on that provision of the Section 4, making it unlawful to make any unjust or un- reasonable rate or charge in handling or dealing’ with any necessary, "Section 4 cannot be read inde- pendently of Section 1. The acts prohibited in this section do not re- fer to aM necessaries, but clearly re- fer only to those defined as such in Section 1. (Section 1 mentions wear- ing apparel, but makes no mention of fubrics.) Wearing apparel! is a neces sary. If Section 4 had forbidden the unreasonable rates as to any neces- series, wearing apparel, clearly a necessary, would have been embraced therein, even before the amendment of 1919, _—-~ LIPTON HERE FOR THE CUP He's Sure Shamrock IV, Can Beat Vanitie or Renolate.

The order some knowledge of what the board of strategy is mapping out on the In- of events based upon side of this convention is this: 1—Let Wood show his maximum strength on the first few ballots, and let Johnson hold his delegates Intact. 2—Let Lowden come up and pass Wood in the totals, Make a final drive inside the New York, Pennsyl- vania and Massachusetts delegations for Lowden. ° 3. If Lowden doesn’t get the “break” and merely holds his lines intact, with no evident chances of taking delegates from Leonard Wood, a ballot or two for Johnson's benefit will be ‘tried. 4.

She is in evidence everywhere— all the leading candid buttonholing delogates. No doubt of it, she came to Chicago not mere- ly to be seen, but to be heard, and when a woman wants to be heard she manages to make a large dent in the conversation at home or abroad, Traditionally she has the last word and the last word counts in politics at convention time when the ballotting begins, Men disposed to smile indulgently at Woman Suffrage as a passing whim, a foible as ephemeral as the season's fashions, are due for an awakening {f the activities of the women at this convention are to be accepted as a criterion of future participation in the politics of the country.
