OLD GUARD

(Continued from Page One) Wood, of the United State army. These are the best known, and are reputed to hold in leash the greater number of delegates. They have their political in their economic features. All are Republicans, and range from radicalism of a conservative nature on the part of Johnson to conservatism of o radical nature on the part of Wood with Lowden sturdily maintaining a tafe and sane position equidistant and equivalent. Economically, Wood represents the preater distribution of wealth and Johnson the smaller, with Lowden again in the middlo of the road. Hence as to delgates so unerring are the

HII Kl III i in r III I in iiiihi v

pystem Wood at this writing, has more delegates than Lowden and Lowden

has more delegates than Johnson

that is, delegates who are out in full view of the multitude. Support Consists of Handshakes. Following these come the littler 15, whose support ranges from home state and favorite son partisans, pledged to stick until the bandwagon goes by the first time, to those whose support consists of a hearty handclasp and a word of cheer from some optomistic soul who has never been at a convention before. Naturally, the problem that besets the leaders is the determination of the fates of the larger three, Wood, Lowden and Johnson, whether they like

them oh not, for by gathering their

respective quivers of delegates these candidates have in a measure, done some determining themselves; not much, but some. Thus, the leaders find themeslves facing a, triangular problem of which one angle, the Johnson angle, is very sharp and menacing. It is not too much to say that the leaders do not desire to nominate Mr. Jonnson, not half enough to say, indeed. In fact, the leaders are not going to nominate Mr. Johnson if they can find any other way out and they have been planning exits along these lines for weeks. On the perplexed other hand, the leaders have no intention of nominating Mr.

Wood if they can avoid that contingency; and. in conclusion, the leaders

i iiiuv. ii titanic t n i j uiuj iiv;v uo autu to nominate Mr. Lowden.

Wherefore, the leaders are much in the position of the " fabled animal known as the willipus wallipus, which could not live on the land and died in the water. However, there is their problem, and before consideration can be paid to any favorite son, dark horse Horner in or other entrant unclassed, the leaders must deal with the concrete strength votes presented by these three. It is strategy to use of these abrasives to grind down to nothing the remaining other, but the leaders are oppressed with the fear that in that process one of the abrasives may quit being an abrasive and develop into a solution, which would be admirable, from their view, if that one should happen to be Mr. Lowden, but quite disconcenting if it were either of the others. But They Gotta Find Out. Still, no person can be nominated in the early stages of the convention until the fate of these three is determined, and the determination of that fate is what is making the leaders careworn and weary because In the proper solving of the problem nestles also their own fates. There will be positively no nourishment for the leaders in the nomination of some person not on their preferred list. ' It might be comparatively simple If, for example, after a ballot or so, a combination could be made between

the delegates of any two of these hree, say and such other unattached y detachable 'delegates as might be available; but such a combination is at least five or six days away, and the makings of it not yet descernlble ,to the most efficient compromiser on the

social conditions. InvanaDiy ne gives

Chairman Alice Paul and officers of the party photographed before leaving Washington for the convention.

Alice Paul, chairman of the

National Woman's party, one of the organizations growing out of the old suffrage organization, and the officers of the national party, will be at the Republican conven

tion at Chicago to lead the suffrage "drive there, opposing candidates and delegations who haven't aided the suffrage cause. Shown above, left to right, are: Miss Sue White of Nashville, Teen.; Mrs. Benigna Green Kalb

of Houston, Texas; Mrs. James Redtor of Columbus, O.; Miss Mary Dubrow of New Jersey; Alice Paul and Miss Elizabeth Kalb. They are holding a banner which they will use at the convention, r

lot. That is the way, as It Btands today. The contestants will go to bat and

there are three who will count higher In the first balloting, providing of course, that some one of the other of them does not withdraw or is not withdrawn. The Wood and Johnson and Lowden men will stick for a time, Just to get comparative values down in black and white, and the others will trail In their respectlvo strengths. After two or three Bhow downs, sooner or later, some sort or a deed will be done. There is where the fortune teller is needed. The leaders bog down at that point. They require a seer and soothsayer to tell them what next. Their tired minds refuse to function further than the trial heats, but up to that point all is regular and commonplace and conventional, and according to precedent. Until that point is passed, all will so remain; there will be plenty of alarms, and excursions, aide trips and joy rides for various aspirants, but the fundamentals will continue just so. Until Wood and Johnson 'and Lowden are disposed of either in the balloting, by strategical elimination or the use of tho iron heel. It is extremely idle to discuss, the littler 15 and their relative chances, except to say this: If things deadlocked as it may be, or unless the remote contingency, or a pre-ballot combination on some other occurs, then Sproul, Alien, Hoover, Hughes, Hays or Harding, perhaps another, may blossom and bear fruit, but not befor"e all hot air, hot tips, and hot inside stuff, notwith standing. But Leaders Are Ones to Pity. Until that moment arrives your condolences for the harrassed and harried leaders are most respectfully requested, because, although they are leaders, they constantly dread the moment when they may become brutally apprised that they have no followers r and because although they are vaguely conscious of where they want to go they have no coherent notion of how to get on their way. Likewise'; and this is the sad verse, they know full well that they soon will face a mob of delegates, who, deprived of the sustenance and comfort and cheer of the former convention colleague, John Barleycorn, with no opportunity to lean on friendly bars and tell how they could settle it in 10 minutes if they had the chance; with no places to go but to the movies or up 8nd down he street, and nothing to do but mill around the hotel lobby3 where tho floors nre very hard, a mob of delegates who will raucously demand action instead of intrigue in order that they shall be able to return immediately to their kitchen stills and home brews, and may take matters into their own rude hands. This is a thought that to tl-e leaders, is most calamitous to contemplate, but it is a thought none the less.

During the night a large number of Indiana Republican leaders arrived for the convention. "How come?" challenger Senator Hiram Johnson this morning when he reached for his spectables and found them missing. Careful search of his sleeping apartments found he had not a "spec." both pairs being gone, and further investigation disclosed that room thieves had stolen a set of woman's furs from the Johnson headquarters, also that a naval officers (name witheld) pocket had been picked and his naval credentials and some money stolen. "The senate investigation has injured no one and no thing, except the state primary Idea," said Senator Watson, as he stepped briskly along Michigan avenue toward his conference at the Blackstone hotel. "It has been an indictment for that election plan. I have opposed that state primary idea all along. I believe now the country will see the uselessness of it and adopt a convention plan." According to Secretary L. W. Henley of the national committee on convention arrangements more than 150,000 applications were received for the 12,000 convention seats. Mr. Henley declared that the rush for tickets surpassed that of any previous convention year owing to the Increased interest of women in politics. "All the tickets are allotted," explained F. E. Sammons, who Inspected credentials. "We have turned down offers of money galore, enough to crowd three conventions. The folks think, however, that there'll be some tickets turned back on us. and they're coming around. And some of them don't think at all and never have thought." "My father," spoke up a youth with

The youth, minus credentials, but inspired by hope, smiled kindly upon the doorkeepers. Mr. Sammons, opening letters, inspecting Fred W. Upham's signature, and Issuing directions all in one gesture, replied: "I'm busy lighting cigars with them. You'll have to come around later say the middle of June."

Greensfork Elevator Pays 50 Cents for Wool; Best Offer Received by Farmers As aa indication that eastern buyers are not hungry for wool may be cited the fact that of 21 firms invited to bid for the wool of the Sixth district wool pool, but two firms were represented at Muncio two weeks ago. Nor were these men in lino to pay cash, but simply to hold, store, advance on consignments, and sell on commission. This did not seem like a reasonable proposition to many farmers, so no action was taken; it being decided that it would be well for tho farmers to hold their wool until there was a cash market at what might be con sirered a fair price. Greensfork Paying 50 Cents. Local buyers were interviewed by numerous farmers, buyers from var

ious country points in this radius, but j according to Theodore Davis, the top offer for spot cash on the nail was 35 cents per pound. This didn't tempt anyone to sell, so j far as learned, but did result in the i Farmers' Co-operative elevator at j Greensfork taking a hand in the game, with an offer of 50 cents, in bulk, j there being no charge for bags, etc., j these to be furnished by the factors j who buy the wool for consumption, or for eastern mills. i The first receipts of wool were !

taken in at the elevator on last Friday. W. E. Oler brought in his clip on that day. Robert Clements and Edward Campbell were among those who sold on Saturday, while William Boyd, living north of Williamsburg, was the first arrival with wool on Monday morning

WASHINGTON In "Tillle's Punctured Romance," the Mack Sennett masterpiece comedy

featuring Charlie Chaplin, Marie Dressier, Mabel Normand, Mack Swain and Chester Conklin, to be shown at the Washington Theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, there are nothing but uproariously funny situations, ending in a whirlwind of action. There'i3 a story, of course and it's Fufficient It shows how Tillie is wooed by Charlie and is given the

mitten in favor of Mabel. When

Charlie reads that through the death of her uncle, Tillie is heir to three millions, he encompasses a hasty mariiage before Tillie gets the news. Of course, it afterward develops that uncle it not dead, but very much alive. Tillie, however, is pretty nearly dead by the time she has removed from her expansive chest several matters that weigh heavily upon it. Before the battle is over the "cops" have the riot of their tempestuous lives, an automobile takes a plunge Into the Pacific the only calm element in the show and Tillie. after several lifts and sudden immersions, is finally landed, drippmg wet, with her anger partly extinguished. Mabel falls into the erms ot Tillie. Charlie is "jugged." Mack Sennett has produced a masterpiece and the revival of "Tillie's Punctured Romance" will contribute much to the gaiety of millions. WASHINGTON. Elaine Hammerstein, Sclznick's win

some star, began a two day engagement at the Washington theatre, Sunday, in her newest starring vehicle. "Greater Than Fame." "Greater Than Fame" is an entertaining story, entertainingly told, of a talented young girl who travels a winding path before she wins the fame and greatness that sho so richly deserves. She wins, too. the happiness that love "brings, but not until she has suffered greatly. Miss Hammerstein is one of th? screen's foremost young actresses, and all her pictures so far have been "worth while." "Greater Than Fame'1 is no exception, for it offers her a splendid opportunity for the display of her extraordinary talents. There are many "big moments" which shehandles admirably Her supporting company is an exceptionally strong one and includes Walter McGrail. remembered for his excellent work in "The Country. Cousin" and many others of equal prominence "Greater Than Fame" is from the gifted pen of S Jay Kaufman and has been produced by Selznick with a lavish hand.

Col. William Cooper Procter, campaign manager of Gen. Leonard Wood, is the leading host to delgates in Chicago for the convention week. Telegrams sent by him to delegates in the convention late last month and to newspaper men connected with newspapers favorable to Gen. Wood's candidacy, are now being presented to the credential committee of the Wood headquarters to be honored. T.hese telegrams either tender the "hospitality" of the Wood headquarters to the bearer or invite him to become "our guest from May 28 until after the convention." These invitations were all sent by wire at a cost approximating $2 each and the "guest" invitations were sent with a request for a reply. The subject was. prohibition. A group of delegates with a scattering of rational committeemen were discussing the subject at the Coliseum that is, just discussing it, not with any idea of Inserting a plank regarding it in the party platform. Committeeman Patrick Sullivan from Casper, Wyo., had a long face. "You can well talk about it," he said. "When they begin talking about the country going dry I laid in a nice big. supply. I secreted it well. It began to disappear. I secreted it better, but still it would go. I went to Kansas City with a train load of cattle and when I came back it was nearly all gone. And not long afterwards I heard a couple of fellows talking on the street in my own home town. Said one of them, "You might well afford to pay $15 a quart for it; that whisky belonged to Pat Sullivan!"
