OBSERVATIONS

By W. F. Cronin.

CHICAGO, 111., June 9.—All's grist that comes to the mill of a national convention. The resolutions committee at the republican national convention here received among other communications one from the Friends of Irish Freedom, asking for a resolution favoring the creation of the Irish republic.

Ticket scalpers along Wabash avenue were trying to get $75 for season tickets, or what remained cf the season. This is the lowest quotation ever put on them. At past conventions they have sold for $150 and $200, and some times even higher.

Lack of interest Is not held responsible. The weather has been the great drawback. These June showers in Chicago which make July pneumonia, fairly defied the people to venture out. The Chicago entertainment program was shot all to pieces, "band concerts were muffled, aquatic displays on the lake were stopped, the civic parade was put on the blink, and no one would venture out in this kind of weather unless he was ejected by the constable.

Here is a ray of hope for the Terre Haute suffragists: "Lem" Qulgg, former famous boss of New York, Is at the Congress^ and he has declared for woman's suffrage. Whether there is any relation between "Lem" being an ex-boss and being for suffrage now,— you'll have to figure it out.

Speaking of necessity nurturing Invention, all of the bass drum players in this week's parades have their sheepskins mounted on baby buggy wheels, with boys trundling them along while the artist is left free to thump.

W. A. Gllmore, of Nome, Alaska, is the delegate from that remote bailiwick. He has relatives in Terre Haute. When they were speaking of cutting down the southern representation, he inquired: "Why, what's the matter with Oregon

Fred W. Wait, of Sturgis, Is great poohbah in the Michigan headquarters. He bears this distinction (so-called), because he Invented the bandana as the insignia of the bull moose party.

There is a regular hospital in the Coliseum-basement. A lot of dwindling presidential booms will go there to •croak after tomorrow.

Last night a lot of lusty-lunged fellows from Oregon tramped through the Congress yelling "We Want Teddy, We Want Teddy." Some pillar of man in the other corner boomed out, "What's the matter with Ford?"

May Irwin came into section 14 yesterday morning to view the convention, and three men get up to give her a seat.

Harding's keynote speech doesn't seem to have made a hit with the bull mOosers. They generally characterize it as a "pussyfooter." —o THE TRIBUNE CLASSIFIED PAGE Is the greatest real estate market of western Indiana and eastern Illinois.

said last night to have been among the first exhausted. Regarding Root there are many conflicting reports. Some of the wise ones were predicting yesterday that his name would not even go before the convention. On the other hand it is expected by some tnat if a desperate deadlock arrives and the thing goes into "dark horses," that Crane, Penrose and Barnes have enough power to hand the nomination to the ex-secretary of state.

The Hughes element early today was claiming the Cummings strength. They averred that Cummins would be given the first ballot complimentary vote and then it will be Hughes for the Iowa contingent.

Not much Is heard of the steam roller here this time. The Penrose-Crane-Barnes alliance seems to rather be working with a vacuum cleaner. To the most casual observer it is evident that every detail is being threshed out before It sees that light of day on the convention floor and it is being done in a velvet-soft manner tha* leaves the delegates wondering what's going to happen next and who is manipulating the show from behind the cabinet.

I4ist night such headquarters as were wont to see the old leaders now and then were occupied by casual visitors. The skilled engineers were far from the din and the noise cutting out the work of the convention and, the Roosevelt men surmised, fashioning a few more screws for the casket ot the Roosevelt ambitions.

In the open the subalterns and others conferred and confabbed and then were baffled to see their plans go awry and Anally were dismayed by the intangible something that seemed to stand in the way of their plans and cut under their work whenever they thought they had something like a combination of delegates started.

Hughes and Borah is the-prediction that comes out of—none knows where, but that Is the sign in the heavens seen here by delegates, political wiseacres and mere other persons looking for the best end of a bet.

DAY BRINGS UNCERTAINTY.

Next Twenty-Four Hours Will Tell the Tele In Chicago! CHICAGO, June 9.—Delegates to the republican and progressive national conventions reassembled at the Coliseum and the Auditorium here today facing a situation unprecedented in reoent American political party history. The progressives met at 10 o'clock, and the republicans resumed their deliberations at 11 o'clock..

Uncertainty as thick and obdurate as the jmurky weather thni. has hung ovei?: for threo days prevailed, and all eyes were strained to catch the first possible clearing of the political clouds.

No man on the ground was able to predict on a basis of fact what the next twenty-four hours might bring out of the haze whether Jt would be harmony and a reunited republican party or disagreement and dual nominations by th? two big conventions.

The day was ushered it by a midnight conference that will become historic, of "peace" committees from the progressive and republican conventions which took place at the Chicago club on Michigan boulevard. The conference adjourned before 1 o'clock without definite results, it was s&id, and details of Its deliberations were withheld. It may meet again this afternoon or tonight, or it may not. Only the developments of the day can determine that.

It was a remarkable picture formed by the men seated about the conference board, in whose hanos practically rested the destinies of the republican and progressive parties.

The republican committee was composed of Seriator Beed Smoot, of Utah, chairman former Senator W. Murray Crane, of Mass. Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho Nicholas Murray Butler, of New York, and A. R. Johnson, of Ohio.

The progressive committee had Geo. W. Perkins, of New York, for chairman, and the other members were Gov. Hiram Johnson, of California Horace B. Wilkinson, of New York Charles J. Bonaparte, of Maryland, and John M. Parker, of New Orleans.

Where They Were in 1912. Every member of the republican "peace" committee took part in the management of the republican convention of 1912, which brought the progressive party into being. Crane, Smoot and Butler were determined advocates of methods to prevent the nomination of Col. Roosevelt then. A. R. Johnson, then In congress, supported them. Borah was for Roosevelt, but refused to leave the republican party. When Vice President Sherman died, Mr. Butler was selected as the running mate of President Taft.

Gov. Johnson was candidate for vice president with Roosevelt on the 1912 progressive ticket. Many times Gov. Johnson has denounced with great vigor the action in 1912 of the men who last night sat across from him at the council table.

Bonaparte, of Maryland, constantly has been for Col. Roosevelt and Roosevelt policies. Mr. Parker organized the progressive party in Louisiana. Mr. Perkins and Mr. Wilkinson were with Col. Roosevelt in 1912. Mr. Perkins has been very prominent in the councils of the progressive party and one of its most widely known leaders.

For more than two hours the conferees discussed the points at issue between the progressives and the republicans and took up details of the peace plans projected earlier in the day by the two conventions when the conferences committee on harmony had been appointed. When adjournment came it was announced that "we report progress" and the statement was made that the members of the two committees would not get together again until after the sessions of the conventions today. They prepared reports, which are being presented to the respective conventions. There was considerable doubt as to lust how these reports will be received by the del, gates and whether Jeaders in 'the ""•»yentions can ho? "xof

gates under control, while further harmony deliberations are being held. Delay Nominations. "It is understood," said Senator Borah after last night's conference had concluded, "that while nominating speeches will be made in each convention today, no nominations will be made." "And," said another member of the committee, "we will resume negotiations in the afternoon or evening."

But herein enter various phases of the situation which combine to make it so delicate as to invite the unexpected and the uncertain. Leaders of both parties sat up most of the night discussing numerous possibilities that might develop and making plans to handle the situation, should efforts be made to stampede either convention for a particular candidate or against further delay in making nominations.

Many of the progressives hoped that

"A sensible cigarette—that's what I want"

Col. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay would send a message to the harmony oonferees or to the progressive convention that would have a bearing on the situation.

The pien advocating the nomination by the republican convention of Justice Charles E. Hughes, of the supreme court, declared this morning that nothing had occurred to weaken their position, stated that they believed their candidate could be nominated today and prepared to press for action on a nomination without delay.

Managers for the various "favorite son" candidates insisted the harmony conference program had greatly improved the chances for their men and predicted early today that neither the name of Hughes or 'Roosevelt would appear upon the republican ticket.

But in the absence of any definite report of what happened at the "peace" conference at the Chicago club not

many people were sanguine of definite results. Many expressed the opinion that the two conventions will go ahead regardless of each .other, make their nominations and adjourn.

In this connection one or the members of the last night's conference declared: "The conference has not changed the situation in respect to the probable nomination of Justice Hughes by the republican convention. A situation has been created by which the progressives in all probability will be willing to postpone the desire of the radical members to rush into a nomination of Col. Roosevelt for the sole purpose of being the first to put a ticket in the field. I believe that the conference made for good feeling regardess of whether we accomplished the main purpose of coming together or not."
