Iowa Leader and Woman's Party Head at Chicago Butler's Daughter Fights For His Nomination

By SAMUEL G. BLYTHE. (Copyright, 120, by the Central Presa Anaoriat ion) CHICAGO, June 9. A note of real progressiveness. of departure from the old conservatism of the past, was struck by Senator Lodge in his openin speech at the convention Tuesday. The senator said: "The supreme moment has come" In the second sentence of his address, instead of using that pregnant phrase in the first sentence, as has been the custom for many years. Great applause greeted this innovation as demonstrating that the Republican party is in step with the spirit of the times.

It was gathered from certain hints that the senator let drop during the long sustained keynote with which he Tallied the emotional and impressionable delegates before him. that there are some phases of the public service of President Wilson which displeased him. He expressed grave and measured dissatisfaction with much that the president has done. These came at appropriate intervals of about each sevn minutes, exactly at the points where "applause" was marked in the printed copies of the speech. The applause was forthcom ing, which proves that while this convention may be disorganized, Sen ator Lodge is perfectly organized and functioning smoothly. Hays Is Cheered Often. Will Hays, the vivacious chairman of the national committee, had his triumphant quarter of an hour, and was cheered more than any other feature of the session. This caused considerable satisfaction in certain quarters, not entirely displeased with Kentucky, Indiana and other contiguous states, for the reason that if this convention gets into a jam, it is the plan of statesmen from the quarters Indicated, to propose Mr. Hays as the logical cant-hook to break the jam. In fact, while it may not in truth be said that Mr. Hays is a dark horse, because he is darker than that, being practically invisible at present, there may arise a contingency where it will be good politics for some Indianian with a loud voice to arise and ask "What's the matter with Will Hays?" In the expectation that at least 493 delegates will respond. "He's all right" and hurry from the convention right" and hury from the convention hall to catch a train home. mvt , ... n mav Ticvpf hantn.

As for the other horses, dark, mauve, dapple grey and mouse colored, wherever you find a handful of men. there vou discover a dark horse In discusslon. One or tne aarKest is Evans Hughes, whose name was extracted from the waist coat pocket of W. Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, and exhibited to a selection. The exhibition was an artistic but not a political success. There seems to bo a certain lack of appreciation of the running qualities of Mr. Hughes that was not in evidence four years ago. With the out and out candidates, there was a general disposition to "let it ride" and wait with such composure as was possible for the events of the next 24 hours. This does not mean that there was not considerable solidifying, carpentering and enticing done, but that in the broad sense the whole lot of them are waiting to see what turns up. The Wood men express confidence, as they are not easily borne down by discouragements. It was stated that their plan of campaign is to let the general's strength develop slowly, until, on the third or fourth ballot, it will be at its apparent maximum. That is a good new political phrase: "Apparent maximum." It means that the general's strategy is to gather on this third or fourth ballot all that can

Is 400. They say If they can get 4UU votes on the third ballot there will be enough delegates whose feet hurt and who want to go home to make' up the required 493 within a ballot or two thereafter.

Tnckrr'a Interpretation of the election of Senator Vnton an ehnirmnn of the reaolution committee and the defeat of Senator Reveridfre for permnnent chairman, Trill be of ununual Interest to the Sixth district. CHICAGO, 111., June 9. Joy reigns among the ardent Indiana followers of Senator James E. Watson because of his election as chairman of the committee on resolutions. He cantered away from Ogden Mills, of New York, the only rival candidate, by a vote of 41 to 3. Sorrow hangs like a pall over the contingent which has been insisting on the election of Albert J. Beveridge, of Indianapolis, for permanent chairman of the convention. He was beaten decisively at a meeting of the comittee on permanent organization, which decided that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, should continue through the convention as permanent chairman. Tho vote in the committee on per manent organization was Senator Lodge, 22; Beveridge, 9, and Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois, 7. The action of this committee carried out the wishes of a majority of the members of the organization, which has been saying that the election of a 13 KILLED; 7 HURT IN NEW YORK WRECK (By Associated Press) SCHNECTADY, N.

At least 13 persons were killed and 7 were injured, some of them perhaps fatally, when a tast east-bound American Express special crashed into the rear of an accommodation passenger train on the New York Central lines about four miles west of this city early today. Only two of the dead have so far been identified. They are Martin Doyle of Albany, engineer on the express train, and a two-year-old baby supposed to be the child of Nellis Crouse of Utica. The train on which virtually all the killed and injured were passengers was No. 28, a New York Central passenger train from Buffalo to New York with two Pullmans, two day coaches and baggage and mail cars. The train which crashed into it was a Michigan Central special of 10 cars carrying express for the American Railway Express company. TREATY RATIFICATION BIG PLANK CUMMINS (Dy Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, June 9 A declaration in favor of ratification of the treaty of Versailles will be the main plank in the Democratic platform, according to Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the Democratic national committee, who arrived here late last night to prepare for the national convention. "What other big, constructive planks will be built into the platform is not for me to 6ay at this time," he said. PANAMA, June 8 Canal zone delegates to the National Democratic convention at San Francisco have been instructed by the convention which selected them to impress upon the leaders of the party the need of a civil government and business management of the zone as well as a seat in congress according to Mr. Fairman, one of the delegates.

permanent chairman other than Sen ator Lodge would make it necessary for the convention to listen to another speech. Also the election of Senator Lodge was a victory for the Senatorial group in Washington, which has been boost ing him for some time for the honor. Furthermore, it was stated, following the meeting of the organization committee, that Senator Lodge always was the first choice of Major General Leonard Wood and his managers. Ambitions are Conflicting. Indiana was involved in an unusual manner in the fight for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions (Continued on Page Three) NO ANTI7STRIKE LAW GOES, GOMPERS, WILL SAY TO REPUBLICANS (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, June 9. Vigorous opposition to federal legislation similar to the Kansas industrial court measure to unrestricted immigration and to the use of Injunction proceedings in strikes was contained in a set of demands which Samuel Gompers and Matthew A. Woll. of the American Federation of Labor, presented today to the resolutions committee of the Republican national convention. "Legislation which proposes to make strikes unlawful, or to compel the wage earners to submit their grievances or aspirations to courts, or to governmental agencies is an invasion of the rights of the wage earners, and when enforced, makes for industrial serfdom and slavery " the statement said regarding the Kansas law.

ARE UNSEATED BY COMMITTEE Credentials Committee Works All Night Treaty Fight Expected to Rouse Hard Struggle on Resolutions. SITUATI0O" ADRIFT

(By Associated Prens) CHICAGO, June 9 Working all night at forced draft speed, the credentials committee completed the permanent roll of the Republican national convention at 4:30 this morning. Previous rulings on contests by the National committee were sustained In all but three cases. In disposing of 103 appeals from the decisions made last week by the national committee, two delegates were taken from Gov. Lowden, one in Georgia, and one in Tennessee and given to General Wood, but In-the Fifth Missouri (Kansas City) district, where the national committee refused to seat anyone, the credentials com mittee seated two Lowden men, leav ing the standing of the two candidates unchanged. The permanent roll will be ready for presentation to the convention Ehen it meets at 11 o'clock this morning. Negro Is Unseated Robert R. Church, negro Lowden delegate, was the Tennessee case in which the national committee was overruled. He was ousted in favor of Charles B. Quinn, white, instructed for Wood, when Quinn's counsel de clared the Church faction had bolted the district convention Final sifting of issues for the Repub lican national platform began today in a special subcommittee of 13 while the remainder of the full resolutions committee of 53 continued to hold open house to hear last minute suggestions and advice. Tfie league of Nations question, conceded to be the hardest nut still uncracked by the platform workers, was the center of speculation everywhere as the subcommittee began its deliberations and delegates scanned carefully but without final conclusions the make-up of the baker's dozen entrusted with the real job of writing the league plank. Are a Mixed Line-up It included two senators Irreconcilably opposed to the treaty, two senators who voted for it with reservations and nine other men whose atti tude has been less clearly defined. On the program of the hearings before the full committee were several events regarding as likely to hold the interest of the members and perhaps start some new rows among them. Included in those who were to appear during the day were Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who brought with him some suggested labor planks, and a delegation headed by Frank P. Walsh, asking that the party declare for the recognition of the Irish republic. Watson Is Chairman The committee has for its chairman Senator Watson, of Indiana, who also is chairman of the resolutions committee. He is understood to have prepared a league plank fashioned in part after that adopted by Indiana KepuDiieans, but Senator Borah of Idaho aided by Senator McCormick of Illinois, is expected to offer an amendment designed to make the declaration nearly coincide with the views of the treaty irreconcilables. The fourth senator at the subcommittee table is Bmoot, of Utah, who with Senator Watson, voted for ratification of the treaty with reservations. Delegates assembled at the coliseum today for the second session with their views as to who shall lead the party at the polls next November, still a mystery, even to themselves. Not a Sign of Preference. While giving uproarious approval yesterday to Chairman Lodge's keynote address calling for destruction of tho f fWi lenn diniQDtff " . ; e publican presidential candidate to undertake the job. There was no demonstrations, even for favorite sons. no mention of the "big three" among the aspirants, Wood, Johnson and Lowden. Working with unprecedented free dom irom centralized leadership, or "boss" control, the delegates promptly ratified a program designed to make permanent the temporary organization. Adoption of the organization's committee report, a foregone result, will place its gavel in Senator Lodge's hands as the permanent presiding officer, and set the convention off on the second stage of its journey with little prospect that it will reach a ballot on the presidential nomination before Friday or possibly Friday night. Out of other developments yesterday, however, which placed Senator Watson of Indiana at the head of the platform building machinery, the res - olutions committee, and made Edward D. Duffield, of New Jersey, chairman of the credentials committee, General Wood's lieutenants drew much comfort. Both men are delegates instructed for General Wood Frank Hitchcock, invested yesterday with the authority of supreme commander over the Wood field forces, saw a "psychological" advantage to his candidate in the victory Don't Think He's Right. Leaders who in other days were the main spring of party action, did not share Mr. Hitchcock's views. They continued to talk much of Governor Lowden's gaining strength; while from camps of Senator Johnson and the Illinois Governor came assertions from the candidates themselves that they were "satisfied" with the situation coupled with expressions of optimism as to the outcome of the balloting." Election of Wood men to the two important chairmanships was regardcontinued on Page Ten)

Recommendations that workers and employers of the United States create a voluntary arbitration board to settle labor grievances was placed before annual convention of American Federation of Labor today, as a means of bringing about a more harmonious relationship and reducing the high cost of living. The resolution, presented by E. L. Edgerton of Syracuse, New York, representing the International Steam and Operating Engineers, declared that "establishment of the commission would end the present cycle of advancing wages and price increasing, which it seems utter folly to continue." Alexander Howat. representing the Kansas branch of the American Federation of Labor, introduced a resolution condemning Governor Allen for "his despicable efforts to enslave the working class of Kansas, and finally the working class of the United States J in prostituting his office as governor to the work of crucifying the working class. Irishmen Declare War. Irish sympathizers today declared war on the league of nations ratification program recommended by the executive council. They declared against any covenant "that binds the American people by solemn obligatioa to respect and preserve the territorial rights of Great Britain." The convention was stirred by a rfltrtliitinn nrocoTltoH hv tho m tinn ') 1 committee for organizing iron and eteel workers, which cited the alleg ed unlawful acts of western Pennsylvania authorities in suppressing free speech ar.d free assemblage. r d ask ed that the federation invite President j Wilson to make an address at Du- ' aUense.

Six federation organizers were recently sentenced to jail for addressing a steel workers' meeting in Duquense, and their cases are now to be carried to the supreme court.

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, June 9 While committees continued to grind away at organization preliminaries the Republican national convention went through, the motions of a second day session. It escaped a second keynote speech, by the selection of Senator Lodge as permanent chairman, thus following the plan of 1912 and 1916 of making

the temporary organization permanent. The convention was in session only an hour and devoted itself entirely to routine preliminaries. The report of the credentials committee was approved with the changes made last night, some of which reversed previous decisions of the national committee. For the second time the convention heard a woman speaker. Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter. of Kansas, the first woman to address a national convention. The platform committee was not ready to report and only sent word that it was making progress. Chauncey M. Depew entertained the convention with a brief address. There were no other "entertainments" speakers on hand. The next session will be from 11 o'clock tomorrow. See Adjournment Saturday Saturday noon at the earliest." is the estimate of leaders as to when adjournment may come. The delay is more attributable to platform difficulties than to uncertainty over nomination. The word has gone out to give the radicals every chance to present their views and stop any possibility of a charge of steam-rolling or, as some called it, "an excuse for a bolt." Prohibition crept into the hearing of the resolutions committee when Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon league, and four other drys urged the committee to take a firm stand for enforcement of the dry laws under the Volstead act. Wheeler said that the Democratic party would be compelled to take a similar stand. Wanted To Oppose When Wheeler finished, Committeeman Richards, of Washington, leaped to his feet and insisted that he be heard in opposition, but he sat down again when it was advised that he would be heard in executive session. Joseph Obergfell, of Cincinnati, urged a modification of the present dry laws. Others who spoke at the morning session included Jane Addams. of the Woman's International League for Permanent Peace; Lucy Branham. Dr. Robert Lovett and Miss Grace Abbott, for a lifting of the Russian trade embargo, and John Kelly and James Fads Howe, for the enfranchisement of itinerant labor. At 11:15 Chairman Lodge arrived on the platform with National Chairman Hays. A song leader tried to get the audience to sing the "Long Long Trail" but had a hard time getting out the voices. The song leader stripped off his coat and rolling up his sleeves called for more pep. He got a little better response and then took a hand at three cheers for the Republican party. He had better luck with that than he did with the song. Lodge Gets 3 and Tiger Lodge stepped out to the speaker's spSte at 11:20 and he got three cheers, also a tiger. Dr. John Timothy Stone was today's chaplain. The convention stood while he offered the prayer. In closing Bishop Stone led the great audience in the Lord's prayer. The song leader was on the job again and led the audience in the Star Spangled Banner. The convention heard the reports from the committee on permanent organization. It was presented by Governor Morrow, of Kentucky, it's chairman. As agreed upon it recommended that the temporary organization be made permanent. The convention liked the idea of saving time and escaping another keynote speech and adopted the motion with cheers. Senator Lodge got another demonstration when he stepped forward this time as permanent chairman. "The best way to show my gratitude . thf convention for its action." said aenaior j.oage, "win De to tell you there will be no speech by the permanent chairman." The convention acknowledged Its " '"" appiause .-cnaiur nintm jonnson visiten tne Nebraska headquarters today and talked with the delegates bound by primary vote to support him. He assured them that "sticking" on their part would win him the nomination. Johnson men said that 13 out of the states 16 would vote for him on the first ballot. Later in his own offiices he saw the Oklahoma delegation to the convent'on. Wove Against Colored Committeeman. The Georgia delegation decided to day to hold a second caucus to consider a move to unseat Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Atlanta negro, who was elected national committeeman, yesterday. The credentials committee In passing on the Georgia contest last night unseated a Johnson delegate and plans were then formed to call the delegation with a view of unseating Johnson. Ideal convention weather continued today. A cool crisp breeze blew off Lake Michigan and the sun was shining. It was the remark of every one ibat the convention ball was unusually comfortable.
