G. 0. P. OLD GUARD OBEYSORDERS OF BOSS W. H. BUTLF P Not Only Has It Shov i White Flag, but It Has Joined 'Enemy,’ By LOWELL MELLETT, Times Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 11.— “The old guard dies, but it never surrenders.” The battle of Waterloo made that mark famous in the history of wars. “The old guard surrenders, but it never dies.” The 1924 convention may make this new version famous in the history of politics. For the aid guard has surrendered to William H. Butler. It not only has suri'endered but it has joined his army, as far as it has been allowed to do so. It is busy all oja-r the place executing his orders. ™ Old guardsmen spent yesterday morning and this morning listening to long speeches in convention hall by Coolidge spokesmen, telling them what their views should be. and then adopted to themselves these views. They spent weary hours serving on the resolutions committee preparatory to bringing in Coolidge's idea of a platform, and on the credentials committee preparatory to seating the Slemp-Coolidge delegates. Mr. Butler can find no fault with their ebedience to orders. , Today they are still fighting his fight. They are still attempting to crowd his and Coolidge’s choice into the unwelcome second place on the ticket. Don’t Like Hoover They have joined right heartily in this undertaking, for most of them don’t like Herbert Jtioover anyhow. It was from old gufcsmen that the report went whispfring forth that Hoover was understood to have relented and to have agreed to make the race if nominated, which whisper put him well out in front of the actual candidates for the honor. Hoover is battling with his back to the wall—not literally, for he doesn’t use a Avail telephone—and he Is doing most of his fighting against being drafted by long-distance telephone. He used language today in a Wash-Ington-to-CleA-eland telephone eonA'ersation that would have shocked his many women admirers if they had heard it. The man on this end had an idea that HooA-er was only being coy about the nomination. Hoover disabused his mind completely. And that’s about the only news of the vice presidential situation. None of the other candidates seem to have gotten very far. More talk is heard about John J. Dickinson, lowa Congressman, than about any other, but that may be because the lowa delegation is taking its campaign for him seriously and is working hard to put him over. A: for the platform, the only other business before the convention, old Guardsmen Reed Smoot and Jim Watson made themselves as harmoniom= with Charles B. Warren and Ot®!': Mills as possible. The platform makers enjoyed some recompense for their labors for four hours yesterday afternoon when they listened to speeches in behalf of various causes on which A’arious public groups desire planks in the plat ferm. Into this session walked Governor Blaine of Wisconsin, being granted three minutes in which to address the resolutions committee, he proceeded to read the whole of the La Follette resolutions—those made public Monday—into the record. It was a machine-gun performance, but the Wisconsin Governor got all his resolutions read before his three minutes were up. Motion Is Made They really seemed to enjoy this unexpected bit of speaking out in meeting. When Governor Edgar J. Adams of Oregon, at Blaine’s conclusion, rose and moved that the resolutions “be sent back to Senator La Follette,” it Avas Reed Smoot himself who raised a point of order against Adams’ motion. Chairman Warren sustained the point and once more the crowd cheered. The first day’s formal session of the convention A\-as not exciting. It partook of the nature of an old-fash-ioned experience meeting in the Methodist Church. Prayer, songs and his long experience of the Republican party related by Temporary Chairman Burton. The one great thrill was furnished by Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury. What he did was to offer the routine motion that each State delegation name its member of the resolutions committee. Fetv in the hall could hear him, but the sight of the second richest man in America sitting right there among the other delegates set the party workers wild. They started the cheering and the galleries took it up. Finally Mellon AA r as escorted to the platform and made his motion over again, still Avithout anybody being able to hear Avhat he said—and the convention Avent AA-ild again.

By MAJOR HOOPLE. jLEVELAND, Ohio, June 11. —Egad, I am enraged to a i- Ia high pitch today. I left the hotel this morning after having hot words with a strong headed house detective. It came about because I fell asleep in a barbel shop and. did not become fully aroused until daybreak. Th° whole day has been one upset after another for me. Fitst of all I had lost the check for m> satchel, which I had left at the Statler Hotel. In it I had all the

necessary articles for grooming ones person, a box of perfectos and a quart of, er. ah—well, as I was saying, I felt in bad need of a shave and massage. Barber College While strolling about in the bracing morning I chanced to come upon a school for student barbers. I have always made it a point to encourage young lads seeking knowledge in any honest endeavor or profession. The young tonsorialist whose honor it was to shave me, did a fairly good job and I rewarded him handsomely. I feel a 5-cent piece given for satisfaction will compound itself the next time in service. My only good fortune of the day came while breakfasting in a cafeteria. I struck up conversation with a gentleman at my table, who spent the summer before touring the Orient. It is needless to say that we had much in common to talk about, and It seemed to impress him greatly when I told him that I was consul to Tein Tsi, China, for eight years. Nothing

A broken electric light bulb on a Christmas tree over a year ago started Theodore Brown of 837 Roach St., on his abusive campaign against his wife, Mrs. Vergie Brown, according to testimony offered in city court Tuesday, and as a result a suspended sentence of thirty days on the Indiana State Farm and a fine of $25 and costs is hanging over his head today. Brown was arrested on an assault and battery charge early Tuesday by Motorpolice Baker and Lowe after they had received a call from Mrs. J. W. Krausharr of 839 Roach St., next door neighbor.

The remainder of the morning I spent in visiting the large stores, and did put in a full hour list' ning to phonograph records .it a music shoppe. I intended to pin chase an old-time sentimental ballad for the good wife, but feared lost it should break during the hurry and bustle of the day. By Jove, a jeweler’s clock brought to mind that I would be
late for the convention hall, and with a stride befitting an Olympic athlete, I made for the Auditorium. Never before was I raised to such a degree of temper, as I displayed in trying to gain entrance to the forum. Egad! On my coat lapel hung the badge which I have worn to every convention since '96. The guardian of the law at the door Impeded my effort to enter with an obstinate hand. No persuasion on my part could alter his determination that I should remain outside. Egad, so furious was I that he threatened to call the patrol wagon. I waxed tempestuously when he sarcastically apologized for the antique quarters at the county jail, because he felt that I had spent time in more modern jails throughout the country. Mind you, I did not hesitate to jot down his station number, and when I call on the chief of police this evening, the officer will be in a wretched state of humility tomorrow, by Jove!

C O. P. PEA TFORM IS TENIA TIVEL Y MADE Committee Decides on Campaign Principles After AllNight Session —Spirited Clashes Occur, By PAUL It. VIALLOX Inited Tress Stuff Correspondent CLEVELAND.

Farm Bloc Fights Farm bloc representatives on the committee staged a lung aitaek upon i he agricultural relief provision, but rf*fi before dawn they wire compelled to accept what they described as a "luke warm" compromise. Spirited clashes also were fought on the Ku-Klnx Klan and world court issues. The rest of the Coolidge proposals went through with or.ly minor modification-; The first clash started when Governor Blaine of Wisconsin read to the committee a set of resolutions denouncing former Attorney General Daugherty and former Secretary of tie- Interior Fall. These resolutions were recently announced as La Follette declarations. Delegate Adams of Oregon moved that the resolutions be "sent back to La Follette” and amid hisses and cheers his motion was ruled out of order by Warren. Watson Was There Sitting almost continuously since early yesterday afternoon, the committee stuck relentlessly to the fight, and at exactly 4 a. m.
