FAIL TO SHAKE C. 0- P.

Harding on Tap With Soothing Oil Whenever There Seems Chance to "Start Something."

By W. F. Cronin.

CHICAGO, June 9.—Two attempts

made late Thursday to inject Theodore Roosevelt personally into the

i\., situation in the republican national .%t, convention. But like other Roosevelt tides started during the week they

sPit

into foam on the stone walls of

:Y the Coliseum and the republican convention each time disclosed the grim rV* resolve made by the stand-patters, that they can manage their own party and will brook no interference from -'V Col. Roosevelt, who evidently was to be taught a lesson for his stampeding the reservation four years ago. k- The first came when L. J. Weinberg, o a Maryland delegate, asked for recog-

St ntion to offer a resolution that Col. ce Roosevelt be invited to address the wi' i'i^onvention. Chairman Harding anhauwing nUnced that the unanimous consent tail. the convention would be necessary

DurlD'to allow an outsider to speak to the asator T* sembled hosts. i y Elder era*-

The second effort to inject Roosevelt came from another Maryland source, Delegate William P. Jackson, who announced that he had invited Roosevelt to come and speak and had guaranteed him the floor. Jackson is national- committeeman from Maryland, but is not a delegate.

Word of Jackson's exploit stirred the delegates to a fury. Gen. Felix Angus, veteran Baltimore publisher,' denounced the delegate and declared the delegation should openly repudiate his action. Said Angus: "We don't want that man coming here and addressing us," fumed Angus.

The incident created a flurry for a time, but the old line leaders put their confidence in Harding. The chairman ..evidently had, double-scored orders to a*pply a* draistic cure wherever the Roosevelt rash broke out on tne republican convention and he was the trusty engineer upon whom the leaders depended to keep, the convention running straight ahead and to keep all the side switches closed.

All during the day, Thursday, none but stand-patters were recognized on the floor and it was the general impression about the convention hall, Thursday night, that if Col. Roosevelt did come he would have a hard time bucking the line at this very strictly republican meeting. In fact, to use the colonel's own words, it looked like he

v/ould

be "whipped to a frazzle" if

he even tried it!

in a mighty chant, shouting "We want Teddy" for a full minute while Borah smilingly waited. The shouting lulled and then was renewed, leaders on the stage joining. "There's no doubt you want Teddy," said Senator Borah. "We want Borah, too," answered the delegates, and the senator proceeded, swinging into the stride of his speech which he promised would be brief.

He put a quietus on the whispered circulation of his nanie as a possible "moose" by reminding'the progressive convention that he was present as a member of a committee from "another convention." "There is not a doubt but that you want Teddy and that millions of citizens throughout tho country also want Teddy," he began. "You are fortunate in having a leader," he continued, "who has done more than any other man to make the issues of this campaign. "He Is a maker of questions involved in this international crisis," the convention responding enthusiastically to the praise ol the colonel. "But let us bear in mind," he urged "what these two conventions do here will perhaps decide the welfare of the Unitel States for the next quarter of a century. We can only insure ourselves by working together in close cooperation. I do not discourage your loyalty and enthusiasm to your leader, but I must say it is essential that before we leave this great city it should' be definitely determined that we will march and fight together in this great conflict. "But if the two conventions agree upon your 'great leader you will find no more enthusiastic supporter than myself."

Borah concluded, amid applause and shouts of "Roosevelt and Borah." As Borah shook hands with *he leaders on the stage and left the floor hummed with excited discussion of the dramatic development. At the conclusion of Borah's address the convention recessed until 3 o'clock.

"The conference was most friendly. Immediately upon assembling your committee proposed as the joint nominee of both conventions the name of Theodore Roosevelt. The committee representing the republican national convention did not present the name of any candidate, nor did it attempt to refute our arguments relating to the unique availability of Theodore Roosevelt as a candidate to unite both parties or to serve our common country at this crucial period in the history of the world. "After several" hours of friendly discussion, during which no concrete proposition was advanced by the republican conferees, except that a further conference might be desirable this afternoon or evening, the joint committee adjourned.

ing the progressives npt to place too much confidence in the expressions concerning Col. Roosevelt in the republican report. His remarks voiced the fears of the radicals that,there was little prospect for an agreement between the two conventions, but his name on the report guaranteed that the convention would permit its committer to proceed with conferences until a final report could be made.

Withdrawal Rumored.

Colonel Roosevelt's secretary, John W. McGrath, and his former secretary of the white house, William Loeb, Jr., were on the convention platform about one minute *t 11:05 a. m. They whispered to a few leaders, and retired. Mr. Loeb said: "We hope to keep the convention from doing* anything foolish."

He declined to interpret the word "foolish." McGrath and Loeb, after retiring from the rostrum, are understood to have taken positions in an ante-room, equipped with a long distance telephone connected with Oyster Bay. Frequently they came back to the platform and the party leaders buzzed with activity.

Following the arrival of McGrath and Loeb a report was circulated, to which the party managers gave ready ear, that Col. Roosevelt Intended to withdraw his name. There seemed to be no competent authority for the prediction and radicals said they "would name Teddy anyway."

After listening to addresses by members of the progressive conference committee the convention resumed consideration of its platform report at 12:17 p. m.

Women delegates were victorious in striking from the progressive platform the word "Male" in the declaration that every male citizen is charged with the duty of defending his. country and the word "his" was changed to "our" country.

When the leaders got time to breath again they conferred on the course to be followed by the convention and decided to be regulated by the action of the republican. Frequent bulletins were telephoned to the Auditorium stage by a progressive representative at the Coliseum so that the progressive leaders always were abreast of the action of the republicans.

It was agreed that if the republican convention gave no signs of making nomination that the progressive convention would transact other routine business. Should a nomination by the republicans appear imminent, however, it was agreed the progressives immediately would nominate Col. Roosevelt.

Leaders Discuss Action.

Several progressive leaoers, including Mr. Perkins, Gov. Johnson, James R. Garfield and Henry Allei., withdrew to a private room in the lower part of the hall while the p'latfhrm reading was in progress, in discuaelp. program in case the republican steiflkitiot} did not
