CHAUNCEY DEPEW, 87 YEARS YOUNG, CENTER OF G. 0. P. INTEREST

CHICAGO. June 10. If any one believes that Chauncey Depew, 87 years old, has lost any of his pulling power as a favorite with Republicans, or that his mind has lost Its cunning, let yesterday's scene at the coliseum dissuade them at once "What is the desire of the convention?" asked the chairman "Depew" cried a woman's voice in the gallery "Depew Depew!" It was taken up end magnified until the chairman had to rap for order He then introduced former Senator Chauncey Depew, the 87 year old Nestor of the party, who attended the second nomination of Abraham Lincoln Mr Depew walked out to the speakers' platform to an accompaniment of applause and cheers "Senator Lodge says I'm an old man, but he's mistaken," said Mr. Depew. "A man down south who heard me speak recently wrote me a letter and Bald he heard I claimed to be only 86. 'All I have to say is.' he wrote, 'that you are either a miracle or a d liar.' " Howl as Wilson Is Scored. Senator Depew brought a great howl from the house when he spoke of President Taft going abroad with some of the biggest brains of the country and bringing back Cuba, the Philippines and a few other things, while President Wilson went to Europe and

brought back the league of nations. Howl after howl of laughter followed a rapierlike humorous indictment of President Wilson. Mr. Depew said the country needed experienced statesmanship to deal with the problems growing out of the war, declaring the Republican party bad handled it "with ability" after the civil war, and had proved Its ability to do so. The speaker took suggestive flings at President Wilson's trip to Europe, to the great amusement of the delegates. Other presidents, he said, had dealt with foreign nations, selecting the best brains and men in the country to go and do it. He Wanted League of Nations. "When Mr. Wilson went to Europe and the politicians and diplomats said to him. 'What do you want?' ho replied, 'I want a league of nations, a heaven on earth, of which I shall be the recording angel.' " The convention got a good laugh out of tho gibe. Then, in a serious vein, Mr. Depew, speaking as a veteran of 65 years on the Republican platform, prophesied that out of the convention would come wisdom and enthusiasm and that the ration "standing for the principles of Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt, would take its place as a leader of peace and unity and civilization of mankind."

Funny Things Happen Among G. 0. P. People

CHICAGO, June 10. There are many different kinds of delegates hanging around the Coliseum these days, but D. J. Cooper of Oregon is the only one with a chaperon. D. J. Cooper is 84 years old and the family back In The Dalles, Oregon, raised the dickens when he allowed he was going to take In the convention as a delegate, where medals and pin feathers step around a bit. In. fact, the Cooper family put its foot right down on the idea and told D. J. he couldn't go, that if he did he'd get run over or sunstruck or something. So D. J. took himself a chaperon and eloped. The chaperon. James Zurcher, piloted T. J. all the way to the Hotel Sherman. For several days Mr. Zurcher steered D. J. around the loop and let him look at the big buildings and things. But finally Mr. Zurches felt himself a bit handicapped and told D. J. to stay in his room at the hotel. "I'll come for you when the conven-

Kepublican party, can send three contesting delegations to a national Republican convention to the internationalism of Mesopotamia and the exact way a hen should lay an egg. Didn't Reckon on Watson. With a magnificent gesture that eminent, and conservative, platform-

tician, Senator James E. Watson, of ! Indiana, deposited these under the i table and said: "Now, let's get to j work and fix up something," and that j is what they are working at fixing up ( something, including themselves. Can they compose a few resounding phrases that will unite all factions? Time' will tell, time and William Borah, of , Idaho, and Hiram Johnson, of Cali-! tornia, and other expert tellers. The indications are for much and excited talk. Tho Welkin is scheduled to ;

ring tomorrow for an indefinite period, and Welkin-ringers than whom there are few equals and no superiors will be on the job. As to the candidacies. There Is

and more generalship, or corporalship j as Ihe case may be. The order of the i aspirants continues about the same: ' Lowden again.st the field, with Wood crowding up to assume the initial lead and with many others springing be-! hind. Sproul leads among the alter- j

(native choices considering Wood,;

Lowden and Johnson as the principal contenders. There came a rumor that there was i to be a movement to demand a dry j plank in the platform, or take the matter to the floor with a minority j report, wherefor the prospect for ex-' tended talk is increased by 8,756 cubic J nnd gaseous tons. I

tion really opens," said he. "Now don't run away." So Mr. Cooper waited good naturedly till yesterday morning, when Mr. Zurcher appeared and led him to his seat in the Oregon delegation. "I'm glad I came," said the venerable delegate after the first session. "It's a right interesting place. The family didn't want me to come, thinking I was too old. But I knew better. There are two things a man ain't never too old for, and one of them's politics." Convention Causes Bunions. "Am this heah the hospital headquahtus?" inquired the colored republican with a Mississippi badge and streamer floating from his lapel. Dr. John Dill Robertson poked his head out of the convention hospital located in the Coliseum annex. "Yes," said Dr. Robertson. "What's the matter? Feel faint?" "No, suh," Baid the Mississippi citizen. "Bunions, thas all. Ah's a delegate alternative and seen yoh sign marked up. Ah's been lntendin' to visit a doctor foh some time an' if youall knows anything about bunions " "We only treat accidents and prostrations contracted in the convention," Interrupted Dr. Robertson. "These bunions Ah refers to," went on the Mississippian, "comes from the rnnvention. suh. Standin' aroun' all

day heah Ah gets 'em an Ah figures you-all might gimme some attention." Dr. Robertson put an end to the consultation by turning the sufferer over to an assistant sergeant at arms who in turn directed him toward the door. Doughboys Obey Orders. The glitter of the gold badges of the national committeemen, the power that stands behind the press neither of these impressed Gen. Ryan'B doughboys who guarded the entrance to the Coliseum yesterday. Never was there such strict discipline at a national political convention. Committeeman Howell from Nebraska was inside the Coliseum when he remembered that Mrs. Howell was waiting outside to get in. He asked Regional Director Victor P. Heintz to go after her. When Capt. Heintz approached the doorway the doughboy stopped him. "Can't get back in if you go out," he said. Heintz showed his badge. "Don't mean nothing to me," said the door guard. "We got our orders." Just then Capt. Heintz espied a well known cartoonist outside, waving his clenched fists above his head in temperamental rage because he could not get in. Ensued a mad search for Gen. Ryan, who gave tho magic word that let the committeeman's wife and the cartoonist In.
