T MAJOR H. W. PATTON,
fK4ttav Hsquim Waihlostonlan nd Prel
Jent Washington state press Association.)
CHICAGO, Juno 8 (Special.) This
Republican convention reminds me of
a big solid meat pie, heavily salted,
but with the pepper carefully omitted.
The delegates are middle-aged, bald
and gray head predominating. They
are substantial and reliable-looking
men, but you'd never back them in a
foot race or a shouting match. A des
perate atteir.-t was made to work up
soma enthUHiasm this morning whoa
the temporary organization was made
permanent. The cheering continued
lor some minutes, but probably it was
forced.
These delegates seem to realize the
magnitude of the task before them and
undoubtedly they are approaching it
with all due solemnity.
Leather-Lunar Work for "Teddy."
If you want to see the boys and firls,
too, with "pep" and ginger you will
have to go down to the Auditorium
Theater, where the Progressive con
vention is being held, or to the hotel
of the same name, where the wild
asses have their stalls. Down there
the raucous cry of "We want Teddy"
vexed the smoke-laden atmosphere. It
seera3 to me that every leather-lunged
individual within the confines of the
country came to Chicago yesterday ol
last night and shouted for Teddy. Cer
tainly there was no complaint of lack
of noise last night, but nine-tenths of
it was furnished by the Progressives.
Yesterday I believed that Hughes
seemed a certain winner of the nomina
tion for President. Today I can sav
that it looks as if Roosevelt would be
nominated, but the former will be
named by the Republican convention
and the latter by the Progressives.
Colonel Expected to Decline.
My tip is that Roosevelt will decline
the nomination after it is made and
will indorse Hughes in order to de
feat Wilson. It is not in the cards
for the Republicans to nominate Roose
velt and it is Inconceivable that Roose
velt will oppose the regular nominee.
To do so would be to defeat the Re
publican party and to destroy himself
and reduce him to the level of Bryan.
In fact, one more knifln or bludgeon
ing of the party by Roosevelt will yoke
him with Bryan and the two will make
a simultaneous exit from public life
and esteem.
Of course, it is possible that this
convention may heed the suggestion
of Roosevelt as to a candidate and
nominate some other man than Hughes,
but I don't believe it. Already Roose
velt has been honored and recognized
by having his policies and the issues
he has made incorporated in the plat
form. But while the convention is
willing to adopt Roosevelt ideas it will
hav none of bim or bis as a c&ndl.
date.
Veterans' Speeches Pleasing.
The roost enjoyable part of this con
vention to me today was the speeches
of these two fine and distinguished old
gentlemen, Chauncey M. Depew and
"Uncle Joe" Cannon. Each is more
than 80 years old, yet they spoke with
voices of vigor and gesticulated In a
manner to do credit to athletic young
men. They are of the old school, but
are thoroughly up to date in their
Ideas and are progressive in the true
sense of the word.
There may be things going on here
which have escaped me, but my ob
servation convinces me that this is a
thoroughly unbossed convention and
that the delegates are here to do the
best they can for the Republican party
and to defeat Wilson. They seem to
think the best way to do that is to
nominate Hughes.

CONVENTION' HALL. Chicago. June
.(Special.) Senator Borah, of Idaho,
unquestionably can have the Repub
lican nomination for Vice-President, if
Justice Hughes is named for the presi
dency, but there is no certainty that he
would accept, until today aij specu
lation had to do with the Presidential
nomination. During the past 12 hours
the Hughes leaders, confident of sue-
ess. have been looking over the list 01
available men for second place on the
ticket, and there is concurrence 01
opinion that Senator Borah would be
the Ideal man, if he can be dratted.
Senator Jbsorah vvr.i have to be arart-
ed, however, for he does not want
the Vice-Presidential nomination. He
prefers to remain in the Senate, where
his activity will not be restricted and
where he win be in a position to aid
materially in furthering the legislative
policies of the next administration, if
that administration be ItepuDUcan.
Shelf Bu no Attractions,
He has been in Washington long
enough to know that the Vice-Presidency,
save in rare instances, is a
political shelf, and he haa not yet
reached the age where he desires to
be shelved.
The demand for Borah for second
place on the Republican ticket grows
out of several important considera
tions: First, Borah represents the
Progressive element in the party; his
progressive attitude is recognized
throughout the country, faecond, he is
one of the best campaigners in the
Republican party, and if nominated,
would be as conspicuous on the stump
as any man the Republicans could put
forward, while the fact that he was the
Vice-Presidential nominee wolud give
added .weight to what he might say,
Third, Senator Borah's relations with
Colonel Roosevelt are such that as the
Vice-Presidential nominee he could do
much toward inducing the Colonel and
his followers to give their active sup
port to the Republican ticket, pro
vided the Colonel does not conclude to
make an independent race. Fourth
Borah is popular with Western Re
publicans and his presence on the
ticket would go far toward Insuring
Republican success in states beyond
the Mississippi.
However. Senator Borah has Inti
mated that he would not accept it, but
he has been in politics too long to
come out with a declination of some
thing that has not been offered him.
The only other Republican seriously
talked of for the Vice-Presidency is
Fairbanks, of Indiana, and he has is
sued a statement saying he wants
nothing unless he can get the Presi
dential nomination.
. The platform, adopted by the Repub
lican convention today, is in important
respects the work of Senator Borah.
Although Senator Lodge, of Massachu
setts, was chairman of the resolutions
committee, the bulk of the platform
was written by the Idaho Senator be
fore he left Washington, and the Mex
ican plank was written . by him last
night. -
From a spectacular standpoint, the
important Borah plank adopted today
is that dealing with woman suffrage.
In the form in which this plank was
finally accepted it was the work of
Senator Borah, and is in strict accord
with the promise he made the Associa
tion for Woman Suffrage more than
three weeks ago.

Sub-Committee First Kefuses to
Act Full CommlUee Then With
out Reservation Grants Wish
and Later Reconsiders Move.
CHICAGO. June I. Woman suffrage
ran a curious course today in the Re
.kii... ..nn.ntinn. First denied a
place In the platform, then accepted as
a party plank without reservation, it
finally found its Testing place in the
Republican resolutions as a favored
proposition in principle, but with the
proviso that each state" should settle
the woman suffrage question for Itself.
The plank offered by the newly
formed woman's party, which would
have pledged the Republican party to
the so-called Susan B. Anthony amend
.r.t wan rttleeted. The plank adopted
conforms more nearly to the request
made in resolutions oy mo nun..
American Woman's Suffrage Associa
tion. As Incorporated in the platform
the plank reads:
"The ReDublican party, reaffirming
it faith in eovernment of the people,
by the people, and for the people, as a
measure of justice to one-half of the
adult neonle of this country, favors
.Ttenainn of the suffrage to women
but recognizes the right of each state
to settle this question for itself.
Jubilation Replaces Uleora.
The pendulum swung first one way
and then another, gloom or jubilation
reigned in the ranks of the women who
thrnuch rain and wind carried their
r.i tn th convention yesterday.
The adverse decision that five of the
iihrnmmittee of the Republican reso
lutions committee had voted against
recognition of woman suffrage in the
platform and four had favored it, came
early in the day. There was a hurried
marshaling of the friends of suffrage
and three hours later the resolutions
committee as a whole voted 26 to 21 in
favor of recognizing the principle of
woman suffrage. The jubilation was
hnrt.Hvtd. for within half an hour
word came that the roll of absentees
had been called and seven committee
mn were hastening to the eommlttee-
room that the factorable action might
be reconsidered.
Friends of suffrage on the committee
were bombarded with entreaties to
tnnd firm as one after another the
ihmnlsi took their claoes. Tiere
were repeated parleys, a recess tor
luncheon, and finally reconsideration
waa agreed to and it emerged as the
last nlank of the Republican platform
with the principle of woman suffrage
unconditionally favored, but with tne
modification that the party "recognises
the right of each state to settle tne
question for Itself." . . .
Final Vote la 3S to II.
The final vote in the committee on
the declaration as agreed upon was
85 for and 11 against.
Credit for preventing flat rejection
of the plank on reconsideration by the
committee was given to senator isoran,
who declared that the question would
be taken to the floor of the convention
if the committee vote were overridden.
This stand, it was -declared, forced a
stay of the movement to overturn the
recognition and the modification rec
ognising the right of the individual
states to decide on the franchise within
thir botLrs were evolved.
