NOISY SUNDAY

IN OLD Arriving Delegations to National Convention Created Great Din. THE CANDIDATES RECEIVE. DELEGATES VISITED PRACTICALLY ALL OF THE HEADQUARTERS OF RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION. Chicago, June 1.". With flags flying, band3 playing and crowds surging, the usual Sunday calm of Chicago gave way to the many noisy demonstrations which usher in a national convention. State delegations and marching clubs passed into the city throughout the day and there was the incessant din of brass bands, inarching men and exploding enthusiasm. The broad lake front, along which the headquarters of candidates and state delegations are located, was besieged by the incoming throngs which choked the hotel lobbies overflowed into the streets and mingled with the groups of curiou3 onlookers on the broad plaza fronting Lake Michigan. It was an ideal summer day, with bright skies and a cool breeze from the lake, which gave better promise of good convention weather than yesterday. But, despite the inrush of strangers, there was an undercurrent of feeling that the multitude was not as great and the enthusiasm not as feverish and overwhelming as In times past. It was observed that some of the arriving state delegations were stripped to a strict business basis of delegates and alternates, without the usual quota of strong-lunged Bhouters. This brought the cancellation of hotel rooms in goodly number, until some of the large hotels threatened legal proceedings for this unexpected dlmunitlon of revenue. But to the veterans of convention battles the decrease of lung power among the arrivals promised the more orderly and business like convention that had often been wished during the tumultuous proceedings of the past. Important Conferences. Although many important conferencec were held during the day on candidates and platform, the chief interest continued to center on the arriving delegations with their distinguished personnel, and the noisy demonstration "which greeted them. The Californians came at noon, headed by M. H. De Young, chairman of the delegation. With them were the delegates from Oregon, including the venerable George H. Williams, attorney general in the Grant cabinet, now white haired and 8( years of age, but still a lusty delegate at large, ready to Tnake a speech seconding the nomination of Secretary Taft, and also the men from Idaho. The Pennsylvanians were re-enforced by two more detachments, one with bands and banners and LHX marchers, and another with Congressman John Dalzell, who hails from the heart of the steel region, and is counted upon to see that tariff revision does not trench too strongly on the traditions of protection. The Hawaiian delegates, six in all, brought their wives, dainty creatures, with brown faces and shrinking manner. The delegations from Iowa. Montana, Virginia, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and New Mexico, in whole or in part, were among those to arrive during the day. Among the other prominent arrivals were Senator Carter of Montana and Governor Stuart.-of Pennsylvania. Seth Low, of New York, was expected, but he will not arrive until today, just as the New York delegation holds its first caucus, which may throw some light on the vice presidential situation. Activity at Headquarters. The headquarters of the presidential candidates were full of activity throughout the day. From the veranda of the Cannon headquarters a band performed a"sacred concert," with occasional lapses Into the enlivening strains of "Hail Columbia" and much ragtime. . The Taft headquarters had the usual throng of visitors, but the formal opening was still deferred until the arrival of the Ohio delegation today, when the real enthusiasm was touched off. The Fairbanks headquarters were radiant with flowers and filled with ladies who accompanied the Indiana party. The Knox headquarters had its full share of excitement, with a band and cheering clubs. Among the interest ing groups to visit the headquarters was a band of Sioux Indians, from the Pine Ridge agency, who had come on under the care of an agent to see the mysteries of the choice of a "Great Father." New England a Feature. New England delegates became a feature of the crowd late Sunday. Massachusetts came in with only ex-Gover nor John D. Long, one of the four del egates at large, and three alternates missing from a full delegation. The absence of ex-Governor Long, attrlbut ed to his fear of the Chicago climate, was the subject of a good deal of com ment, owing to the hard fight previous to the state convention, In which he was strongly opposed, his selection as a delegate being made possible only by the withdrawal of ex-Governor Bates. The entire Massachusetts delegation will vote on the first ballot for the nomination of Governor Curtis B. Guild, Jr., of that state, for Vice Presi dent. The Bay state delegates, how ever, expressed great Interest in the in creasing talk of Representative Sher man. They were much surprised, it appears, that Governor Guild's name was not. as they expressed it, "More prominent In the discussion of the vice presidential situation." They ex

Daughter of brother of candidate, Ueneral in the event of Taft's election. pressed confidence that their arrival would soon place their popular governor at least on even terms with any other candidate. The delegation caucused this morning at ten o'clock. Maine came in with a party of 23, only two delegates missing. They held their caucus on the train and reelected ex-Governor John F. Hill of Augusta, as member of the National committee. Ex-Governor Hill has been here for several days and was at the station to meet the delegation. Brought a Mascot. The delegation was in charge of Secretary of State Byron Boyd, who is secretary of the state committee, and brought along a mascot A. H. Moulton, of Portland, who is not a delegate, but tipping the scales at 4."H is heavier than any two who are. The delegation is unpledged, excepting the first district, which is instructed for Taft, but the secretary of war is regarded as the favorite of the delegation as a whole. As for the vice presidency the Maine delegates showed a sentiment in favor of the selection of a New York states man. With Maine and Massachusetts came the New Hampshire delegation. Be ing uninstructed their attitude with re gard to the presidential candidate gave rise to considerable speculation. For the most part the members are favora ble to Mr. Fairbanks. In relation to the vice presidency Senator Galinger, Chairman of the delegation, expressed the view that it unquestionably should go to New York, and therefore the delegates of New Hampshire were very favorably in clined toward Representative Sherman. The Missouri delegation marched up to their hotel, 75 strong, decorated with brilliant badges of white and gold. The party included several ladies, who wore small national flags. According to a number of the delegates there has been no discussion of the vice presidency, although considerable interest was at once manifested in the reported strength of the different candidates. The Alabama and Florida delega tions, who were seated by the National committee, held several conferences during the day, it being expected that the rejected delegates would carry their case to the convention. It seemed to be the idea, however, that the defeated delegates would stand less show than before the National committee. Florida re-elected James H. Coombs as a member of the National committee, M. B. McFarland as a member of the committee on credentials and chose Henry S. Clubb for the Committee on resolutions. Hustling for Murphy. Prominent among the arriving delegations was that of New Jersey, headed by United States Senator John Kean and by Governor John Franklin Fort. The delegation traveled in a special train of Pullman cars which were gayly decorated in red. white and blue bunting and with banners bearing the inscription: "Our choice for Vice President, Franklin Murphy." The delegation arrived at 5 o'clock and there was quite a crowd at the station to greet them and escort the visitors to the Auditorium Annex, where their headquarters are established. With the arrival of the New Jersey delegates the candidacy of former Gover nor Murphy for vice president gained quite an impetus. The friends of Mr. Murphy have been very active in his behalf, and the former governor himself has been in the city for several days. His name will be presented to the convention by Thomas N. McCarter. of Red Bank, former attorney-general of the state. The delegation from New Jersey will hold its caucus today. It was announced that the delegation will be solid for Taft. although no instructions were given by their state convention. Senator Kean was the last man of the delegation to come over, and he declared himself on the train. "She's a horrid girl! exclaimed eight-year-old Elsie, according to the Km port a Gasette.

ho w HE fl R YJi C L AY EY AMS of -TEh rsesEt FIND BUT LITTLE SUPPORT FOR C. W. FAIRBANKS (Continued From Page One.) to keep his faithful Indiana friends from trying to divert attention from his presidential boom by working for his renomination for second place. It was pointed out many times today by Kealing, Ixckwood, Dinwiddie and others that there are more republicans here booming the vice president for first place than there are working for all other candidates; they said that the presence of the big Indiana delegation showed that his state be lieves in him and that he is a strong force. Kealing said last night that more than a hundred republican leaders from throughout the country had come to him during the day urging him to join them in a movement to place the vice president on the ticket as Taft's running mate. Kealing's Reply. He stated that in reply to their expression that the vice president would lend much strength to the ticket if Taft is nominated the republicans ought to nominate some one for president who would not need strengthening. He gave this cue to his associates and they are using it to stand off the efforts of prominent party workers to boost the vice president for second place. Kealing declared last night that the vice president's attitude has not changed that there is no reason to take back the statement made last week that he is not a candidate for renomination and that he would not accept the place. Kealing, Senator Hemenway, Colonel Lockwood and others took turns at denying a report that Taft's managers had telegraphed the vice president asking him to become a candidate for renomination. It was apparent from their statements that they were by no means certain that the renomination of the vice president would be satisfactory either to President Roosevelt or Taft. The impression prevails among many Indiana politicians that the vice presi dent and his managers are playing the same game of politics they used here four years ago, when he refused to say whether or not he would accept the nomination. It seems to be the opinion of some of the vice president's friends that his managers intend to play their string straight through to a finish in the contest for the presidential nomination in hopes of something turning up to give them victory. If they fail for first place they believe there will be sufficient time to consider a boom for second place.

here as to his attitude were at variance. Think He'll Accept. Addison C. Harris, former minister to Austria, who enjoys his confidence, declared that the vice president will not refuse another nomination. Congressman James E. Watson, nominee for governor in Indiana made practically the same statement, as did oth ers. However, Kealing and his asso ciates who have been participating in the councils of the "allies" said that they will not sanction a vice presidential boom as long as the contest for president is unsettled. It is argued by many Indiana poli ticians that the renomination of the vice president would not only strength en their state ticket, but that it would have a tendency to keep down factional disturbance. They are afraid that if he is not nominated the Beveridge forces in Indiana will take it for grant ed that he vlll be a candidate for the senate two years heyce, and that an other fierce fight for control of the state organization will ensue. Causes Consternation. Former Attorney General William L. Taylor, of Indianapolis, who was recently defeated for the nomination for governor, caused consternation among the vice president's managers by asserting openly that his boom is being mismanaged. He declared that it has been apparent for some time that the vice president could not be nominated for president, and that his only chance now of becoming president is to be re-elected to the position he holds. He declared also that some of the men who are posing as managers of the vice president's boom are at least for Sneaker Cannon and that they are not trying hard to land the vice president for either place on the tic ket. Word was sent to Taylor from the Fairbanks headquarters to "lay down", but he still Insists that the vice president's managers are making a fool of him. An Extra Fable. George Ade, who is here as a delegate from the Tenth Indiana district, has produced another fable. He did it unintentionally, but it was enjoyed by every one who heard it. When Ade landed here one of Secretary Taft's rooters sought an interview with him regarding his choice for the vice presidency. In all seriousness Ade replied that he is for Taft for second place. "If we nominate Mr. Fairbanks for president," he added, without batting an eye, "we must have some safe, sane and conservative man like Secretary Taft on the ticket for vice president. "Yes," he concluded, before the Taft rooter could protest, "I am sure that Mr. Taft would make a good man for second place." Ade is getting some interesting sidelights on the political game and is furnishing his share of the amusement here. Before his election as delegate the nearest he came to making a noise like a politician was when he wrote "The County Chairman." He has been appointed a scout for Vice President Fairbanks and his business is to interview the Incoming delegates from three or four states to learn how they stand and to tell them why they should support Indiana's favorite son. He told some of his form er newspaper associates that he is working on a new assignment. The humorous side of the situation appeals to Ade. Brand Whitlock. Mayor of Toledo. who is one of his old friends, asked him last night if there was not a considerable undercurrent for Fairbanks for Vice President. "Yes, there is an undercurrent." replied Ade. "but I don't know how far under it is." Shy on Tickets. Ade is much concerned over his inability to get convention tickets for his constituents. Up to this time Chairman New has given him but four, and there are at least 4 Tenth District workers "laying down" on Ade for assitance. Described a Cipher. The Fairbanks headquarters were over run Sunday and today with his fgithfui indana followers who wanted

WANT HITCHCOCK AS MANAGER

Letters Have Been Written to Taft Urging Hitchcock's Selection. THERE IS SOME OPPOSITION SENATOR CRANE IS CONSIDERED A GOOD MAN FOR THE PLACE AS IS HARRY NEW AND ARTHUR I. VORYS. Chicago, June 15. Letters urging Secretary Taft to appoint Frank H. Hitchcock as manager of his campaign for election5 in the event of his nomination for the presidency by the republican convention were mailed Sunday by more than half the members of the present national commit tee. The expressions were made in re sponse to an intimation from Washington that advice would be acceptable on the Question of selecting a chairman for the next national committee and most of the letters had been mailed before Mr. Hitchcock was apprised of the action taken by his friends. When told last night of the letters to Taft, Mr. Hitchcock said: "I regret very much that my friends have seen fit to take such action at this time. It has been my opinion all along that the question of selecting a manager for the campaign could well wait until after a nomination for the presidency had been made by the convention." Senator Crane Mentioned. That there is opposition to the appointment of Hitchcock as chairman of the national committee is conceded by his friends. The name of Senator Crane Is heard frequently in connec tion with the chairmanship, and there are a few members of the committee who are seeking to have Chairman New retained in the position. The se lection, however, has been thought to rest between Hitchcock and Arthur I. Vorys, who has been identified with Taft's campaign ever since he first announced his candidacy. Vorys has a large following in Ohio and ex-GoV' eruor Myron T. Herrick, the present committeeman from Ohio and Charles Taft, the brother of the secretary, were believed to be committed to the appointment of Vorys. Since the con tests were settled before the national committee Mr. Taft, it is said, has not attempted to influence the secretary in making; a choice. Committeemen Hold Conference. Before deciding to send letters to Secretary Taft urging the designation of Hitchcock members of the commit tee who were favorable to the elec tion of Hitchcock as chairman held a conference. First it was proposed that the members again join in an appeal to the secretary in behalf of Mr. Hitchcock, but this plan was opposed for the reason that it seemed to be contrary to the wishes of Hitchcock, as expressed by him when he upset such a plan several days ago. the tickets. Colonel George Lockwood, his private secretary, who is in charge there, referred all requests to Captain New. When asked how many tickets the Fairbanks headquarters have received ne aescnoea a large cipher with one hand. The vice president's managers allege discrimination against them, and charge that a plan is on foot to pack the convention with Taft boosters. Governor Hanly has arrived here with his private secretary. Colonel Fred Gemmer. He is to place the Vice President in nomination. In spite of the feeling against him among Indi ana republicans, they are predicting that this will be the real speech of the convention. The vice president's lieutenants were aroused Sunday by a story from Indi ana that Governor Hanly had used up seven scrap books and all the available records trying to get some salient points about the vice president to make his speech strong. Colonel Lockwood said that the sto ry was not only a fake, but vicious, Several Indiana leaders who have read the speech say it is a masterpiece and that the governor has prepared a worthy tribute to Indiana's "favorite son." Kealing says that it has not been decided who will second the Vice President's nomination. A Scarcity of Washwomen. One reason for the scarcity of washwomen and the principal one. is illness consumption. The unhealthy. Impure, nauseating odors which arise from the use of some laundry soap cause more sickness than a dozen other reasons. There is only one white laundry soap Easy Task.

The jar of riding seemed to irritate the trouble and when I caught cold my kidneys were always unusually weak. It was hard for me to endure the dull draggy aching in my back. I was trying something for my trouble when I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store. I used Doan's Kidney Pills for about ten days when the pains and aches left me, and I then continued the treatment until cured.

By attacking the Roman Catholic church In a public speech at Germ an town and Chelton avenue, a man who said he was Edward Moore, a socialist, last night brought upon himself the anger of some of the 600 persons who were in his audience. As Moore was wading into the Catholic doctrine a young man in the second row of listeners reached over the shoulder of the man in front and, pulling Moore within striking distance, punched him In the eye. Moore struck back, and In a minute he was the center of a struggling, fighting throng. Driven away, he returned, and as he tried to speak a second time the police patrol arrived and took a number of persons to the station. Later all were released.
