Waited Outside in T in Taxi While Lieutenant Within Fol- , lowed Every Word. {WOOD BUSY IN PERSON Ppsets Traditions by Going Among Enemy Delegates and Seeking Pledges, By John H. Tennant. (Spectat Despatch to The Evening World) CHICAGO, June 11.—Hiram John- @on has been hoodwinked so often by the boss strategists of his pafty that he applies the acid test to every promise of compromise that emanates from the Blackstone. He accepted docilely the platform provision on the treaty which left the League of Nations commitment perched so high on the congressional limb as to be beyond the reach of compromise Republican Senators. With this concession which took from him his chief grievance, he Promised to stay in camp and turned aside the promptings of the mal- contents and irreconcilables for a bolt. , But he was suspicious that at the Jast minute he would be made the ‘victim of some tricky manoeuvre to undermine his popularity with a Tebellious minority. He went to the liseum yesterday incog., so to peak, to make certain that the declaration compromise as gbmitted and accepted would be of- pe He did not enter the conven- _/ fon hall, not being a delegate, but he came prepared to execute a coup that would have furnished a real thrill and that might have ended in @ rough-and-tumble and a possible * walkout and rump. convention like “that engineered by Roosevelt eight typewritten copy of the compromise. He kept his seat in a taxi at the curb while a trusted lieutenant with the copy stood inside of the hall to fol- low the reading of the committee presentment word by word and line by line. When the report came back to Hiram that everything was accord- ing to Hoyle he signalled his driver to return to his headquarters. Had there been a slip, he was ready to} enter the arena as an alternate and start things. Gen. Wood made party calls on his rivals this afternoon just before starting for Fort Sheridan for din- ner. Johnson was hidden in the taxi at the Coliseum at the time and, of course, they did not meet. He left cards for the Senator and the Sena- tor’s son, Major Johnson, who is on the General's staff. I was struck with the growing Jameness of the General, Walking down the auditorium stairs in full view. of hundreds of people, he would step down and bring his other foot to the same landing before essaying a second step, Thus laboriously he came down the twenty odd steps." Gen, Wood started campaigning personally last hight In a way that upset all the traditions. He made, a bold attempt to carry the strongest positions of the enemy, No gum- shoeing, but straight army methods of assault. He induced the Massa- chusetts delegation to vacate their quarters adjoining the New York World Bureau and moved in with & strong detgchment, He talked to the delegates personally trying to extract pledges of support after Coolidge had been given a complimentary vote. He sent for delegates from other States and talked with them. He was still campaigning until long after midnight, At 2 o'clock, New York time, and he was still per- sonally directing the storming Op- erations, Little adjutants from rival divisions crowded the hallways watching the bold manoeuvre, Gen. Coloman du Pont, the tallest man about the convention, was hailed in the Congress last night as a possi- ble candidate undér cover. “Too tall for a dark horse,” was his ready answer to the suggestion. “There isn't a blanket In Chicago big enough to hide me.” The Gen- eral is six feet two in his mumber twelve stockings. you got the money necessary at this convention,” suggested a friend. “Possibly I have enough to take lis of one State but not. the Union lin these times,” he answered. “Re- ican common is too high right ww to be considered a, good invest~- © a tax tn Iota Sk Fare a A A ER years ago.

Special Staff Correspon: Evening CHICAGO, June 11.—The sadness, vention, has been Kfted by two hap- penings, one of them being the plat- form and the other the sessions of the Sub-Committee of the Resolu- tions Committee. Comedy was fur- nished to the latter by the submis- ion of all sorts of planks by all sorts of people with ali sorts of hobbies, which subsequently were thrown onto the scrapheap. “The Happiness Lady” and two fat genial stews enlivened one session. The stews were large, middle-aged men. One wore a delegates’ badge and he radiated good nature and kindly feeling. The other was of solemn visage and demeanor but he was feeling good, and perlodically he winked his right eye. Envious glances ‘followed them as they breathed their way through a com- pact and.startled throng in the com- mittee room and found the only two vacant seats in the place, Tho chains were in the front row and imme- diately behind them was seated Sen- One Agrees When Senator | JUNE 11, 1920. \ Than Light Beers—Only Chance Is Outside Three-Mile Limit.

The way things look now in Chicago, the G. O. P. is going to make the world safe for the pharmacy. The Old Guard 4s more interested in dark horses than in light wines and beer. The Republicans are evading the draught ale and aiding the drought. Which means that William J. Bryan is the only politician in Chicago that has really got what he wanted. The G. O. P. bom the beer keg. s have their eye on the pork barrel aad can't see The Platform Committee will solve the high cost of drinking by eliminating the drinks. It’s as simple as rolling off a log, except that nobody ever rolls off a log unless he's loaded with hooth. There will be no wet plank in the G. 0. P. platform. Lodge's key- note speech was dry, and the rest of the convention is going to be, The only kick was that Lodge’s speech should have been cut rather than dried. The keynote kid from Boston sidestepped the booze question 60 much it almost looked like he w: agering. The G. O. P. has decided to abide by the Constitution, which gives us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of prescriptions, The G. O, P. eiephant's tusks may be made out of ivory soap, but its trunk will con- ceal no contraband hooch, Old Jumbo will be kept so pure he can float, ‘The Republicans figure if Wilson could win because he kept us out of war, they win by keeping us out of barrooms. The G. O. P. will go before the people next fall on a platform of Prohibition for the prole- tariat and vichy for the voters, So far as the Repuds. are concerned, a guy must now drown his sorrows outside the three-mile Umit. You can drown almost anything there. ator Arthur Capper of Kansas, who isn't quite satisfied with the Ten Commandments because ther is noth- ing about Prohibitfon in them, OPPosEe TO THE BEER OF THESE TIMES. As the stews eased themselves Into their chairs Frank P. Walsh of Kan- sas City proceeded to address the committee on the subject of Irish Freedom. The solemn stew wept softly through Mr. Walsh's impas- sioned address. The other punctu- ated the remarks of the orator with loud “Amens.” And then Senator Capper stepped to the front and ad- dressed the committee. “We demand,” said Senator Cap- per, “on the part of this convention a flatfooted declaration in support of Prohibition and the Volstead act.” The stews sat up as though tn- spired by an electric shook, The solemn stew shook his head and registered sadness and woe. The other stew murmured: “It ain't done, I tell yuh; it ain't done.” “We don't want any of this light wine and beer foolishness,” declared Senator Capper. “The man's right,” said the first stew to his companion. “The man’s right, I tell yuh. ‘The beer ain't fit to drink.” Senator Capper said some more things about ‘the beneficial effects of prohibition. He said the whole world will soon be dry, and then he sat down. The first stew bent toward the press table and the reporters gratefully sniffed an odor of at least 100 proof as he inquired: “Say, who is that guy?” He was informed that the guy was Senator Capper of Kansas, “Can't understand how they get that way,” commented the first stew. “Can't understand it a-tall.” Benjamin Marsh a fiery gentleman who gaid he represented 350,000 farm- ers, proceeded to spill Soclalistic doc- trines, and’ some of the committee members objected to his statements. A woman jumped up and cried: “Don't you dare to try to choke off that man, Everybody with common sense knows that Wall Street runs the United States and England runs Wall street.” Mr, March insisted on his right to talk as he pleased. Senator Ball of Delaware, Chairman of the Committee, said that Mr. March had exceeded his time allotment. “Aw,” said the first stew in a bored | tone, “give him five minutes more and then throw him out on his ear!” A man named Frank Hotchkiss got up to advocate a plank awarding money damages to the soldiers who fought and froze in Siberia, Both stews wept as Mr. Hotchkiss de- sertbed the hardships suffered in Siberia by our soldiers, At the con- clusion of Mr, Hotchkiss's remarks | the stews shook him by the hand, “You said somethin,’ pardner,” said the first stew, tearfully, “Didn't he say somethin,’ Lew?" “He said a earful,” replied the solemn stew who was this identified as Lew. “THE HAPPINESS LADY” MAKES AN IMPRESSION. Mrs, William Stewat of St. Louis, dressed in a beliotrope gown and wearing a heliotrope hat, representing the Arcadian Way Association, was given five minutes. “T am the happiness lady,” she an- sald the first stew, belongs to our lodge.” Mra, Stewat proceeded to release | her particular dream for making the world sweeter and brighter at Gov- ernment expense. Her association plans to run a straight road trom the Great Lakes to the Gulf through a “she | idly eo tg But has the Republican Party betrayed its trust? Yes, po—dt has betrayed the down-trodden drinking classes like Benedictine Arnold and. Hunyadi Judas betrayed their trust in years gone by. The G. O. P. chiefs in Chicago this week have been more interested in swinging del gates than swinging doors. They have been pulling strings instead of corks. So far as the G. O. P. is concerned, the average hooch fancidt’s stomach can remain non-refillable. In the name of freedom, the Republican platform will favor Home Rule for Ireland and home brew for America, pe This 1920 campaign has certainly proved a lot. In the days long ago, ‘when the Bible was written without the ald of the G. 0. P. Rules Com- mittee, they put it down that it was as easy for a camel to step through the eye of a needle as for a rich man to get into heaven, And in those days it was, . But this is another Republican year, The camel has not only stepped through the eye of a needle, dut it supped through a hole in the con- stitution, and after that performance almost anything is possible, in cluding a rich man going to heaven. The way things are breaking this season, a rich man can get anywhere he wants to go so long as the Republicans are in control. Th» Republicans are stahding pat on Prohibition this year. By 1924, the G. O, P, may be backing prohibition of cigarettes and chewing tobacco, If the Anti-Spittoon League is golng by then, you can bet the Repubs, will be backing it strong. The booze question should tip Hiram Johnson on what to expect. Hi claims the people want him, but the G, 0. P, doesn’t, But Hi should think of all the people that want John Barleycorn, and then think of what the Repubs. are doing for them, Yee, Hiram, it looks like a lean year for the heavy favorites; and, added to all our troubles, it's going to be harder to get prescriptions on account of the white paper shortage.
