CHICAGO. June 6. Republican
platform builders went seriously to
work tonleht on the more trouble
some of the pianks remaining to be
fashioned.
One of these was the declaration on
the treaty of Versailles and the league
cf nations, a subject of long? standing
nd bitter controversy. Another dealt
with industrial relations, brinftinK into
contrast widely divergent schools of
ccrnomic thought. A third related to
Mexico.
On all of these entire harmony was
predicted by all the party leaders,
although most of them conceded that
eome interesting scrimmages, possibly
reaching: the convention floor, would
have to be fought out.
Reaction Complicate Task.
Complicating the task temporarily,
was a reaction against the platform
programme worked out by some lead
ers in Washington. The movement
against the programme, apparently,
nevertheless was based on an objec
tion that republican senators had
taken too free a hand in pre-conven-rtion
platform construction.
With the belated arrival here of
several senators, representing ex
tremes of republican opinion on the
treaty, the long senate fight over the
league of rations virtually was trans
lerred here. They will make a re
newed effort for a programme on
which all republicans- can stand.
Hard Treaty Hattle I.oom.
The lrreconcilabtes and the mild
reserva tionists of the senate are pre
pared for a hard battle on the treaty
plank. Senator Borah of Idaho, a
leader of the irreconcilables, arrived
late in the day with a plank which
will have the backing of the John
eon forces.
The mild reservationlsts held nu
merous conferences and prepared to
draft a plank for stbmission to Ogden
Mills, chairman of the executive com
mittee of policies nd platform.
"We will submit our plank to the
resolutions committee," said Senator
Borah, "and if we don't see it in the
platform we will offer it in the con
vention." roller Declared Wanted.
The men of our 'group think we
re entitled to a straight-out. affirm
ative declaration for the maintenance
of the foreign policies handed down
by George Washington and James
Monroe and as advocated and re
effirmed many times in republican
platforms since 1S60.
Senator Borah was not ready to
make the Johnson-Borah plank pub
lic, but said it would be presented to
the resolutions committee.
It was learned that the mild reser
va tionists' plank would demand a
constructive policy for ratification of
the Versailles treaty with protective
reservations and an indorsement of
the stand of senators who voted for
the Lodge reservations. Senator
Lodge, who arrived today, predicted
that an agreement between the vari
ous groups would be reached.
Kalla Plank Opposed.
There was a general feeling that
little trouble would be encountered In
bringing an agreement on the Mex
ican plank. The declaration prepared
at Washington by Senator Fall of
New Mexico, however, providing for
American intervention unless Mexico
mended its ways ran into some opposi
tion, and it was suggested that it
might be modified to omit altogether
the reference to possible military n
terference by this government.
In that case, the plank would de
clare mat recognition or tne new
regime in Mexico City should be with
held until certain guarantees had been
made. There also would be an attack
on President Wilson's Mexican policy
and a general statement of the nece
ity of protecting American rights.
- Two American tx-ambassadors to
Mexico. Henry P. F!etcher of Pennsyl
vania and Henry Lttr.e Wilson of In
diana, are in consultation here with
other leaders.
Shaping the industrial relations
plank revived many old animosities
and brought into fjcus several issues
raised by recent strikes and unrest.
On this plank the supporters of Sen
a tor Johnson are generally expected
to have a programme of their own
a.nd various other elements of the
Party are counted on to bring in pro
jAsals that will run counter to the
views of some detegates. None of
these elements has yet disclosed its
Stand.
Although only the less controversy
5latform declarations have heretofore
teen taken up In the conference here.
ihe leaders declared that so far they
jiad been able to reach . complete
agreement.
"There has been apparent unanl
mity on everything: taken up," said
Will H. Hays, the national chairman,
"The treaty has not been taken up
because the proprieties required that
there be no real movement in that
matter until more of the advocates
on the different lines of thought ar
rivea.
Organzied agricultural interests to
day planned their campaign to urge
adoption of platform planks dealing
with agricultural enterprises. Presi
Jent C. S. Barrett and other officers
of the national board of farm organi
zations, composed, of many agricul
tural associations, met and appointed
committees to present their cause to
tho resolutions committee. . Gifford
I'inchot was among those at the con
ference.
The platform committee is expected
to. adopt virtually unchanged the rec
ommendations respecting agriculture
made by the national committee's body
on -platforms and policies and pre
sented by Senator Capper of Kansas.
Senator Borah was chosen to rep
resent Idaho on the resolutions com
mittee at a caucus tonight of the
state delegation.
CHICAGO, June . (Special.)
George M. Sunday, son of the Rev.
Billy Sunday, who calls Hood
River, Or., his home, is a chip off the
old block. As director of publicity at
the Leonard Wood headquarters, young
Mr. Sunday has demonstrated the
value of his experience in organizing
his father's great revivals. He dis
plays the faculty of being able to
keep his work going and seeing flocks
of callers at the same time. It was
marvelous to watch him today as, one
after another, he received visitors
who came in to publicity headquarters
to remark, "And you are Billy Sun
day's boy."
To most sons of great fathers who
are trying to get along on their own
account such a query would be dis
concerting, if not offensive. Not so
with Billy Sunday's son. He had a
line of conversation that soon im-
ressed his visitors that he was not
eamng on his famous sire. And he
made them all feel good by saying.
xou don t need to be in a hurry." It
ascertained that Sunday. Jr.. proved
his ability as an organizer as a cap-
ain in the American expeditionary
forces, in which he performed impor
tant business service.
There wag a rush for first position
i the "dark horse" class Saturday
fternooa when one of Senator Hard-
s managers suddenly began tell-
ng friends that "we want it under-
tood that Senator Harding is a dark
orse and the leading one. A little
ater it was discovered that Senator
Poindexter also had voluntarily trans
ferred himself to the "dark horse"
ables, showing that this is once
hen keeping slightly under cover
appeals to wise heads as good politics.
Senator Poindexter, in a very happy
mood, declared with a loud laugh, that
e wished to have it understood that
he always had been a "dark horse."
Watch Jonathan Bourne." was the
ord quietly passed out from the
headquarters of one of the candidates
Saturday. As manager of the Poin-
exter campaign, it was declared by
political manager or another candi-
ate that ex-Senator Bourne was
aking surprising headway in lining
up some second choice votes for his
an in several delegations. One dele
gation in wheh it was asserted he was
making headway was the Harding
utfit from Ohio.
The Washington delegation irot in
during Saturday all of the delegates
rnving except State Senator Johnson
Colville, who was detained by a
serious operation. J. H. Sexsmith of
Metaline Falls, ai alternate, came in
Senator Johnson's place. Thaddeus S.
Lane of Spokane is chairman of the
elegation, but Mark Reed of Shelton.
loor leader of the lower house of the
ate legislature, is head of the steer-
ng committee. All members of the
delegation insisted they were for
Senator Poindexter to' the last ditch.
ut during the afternoon the majority
mem got together and called at
the headquarters of General Wood
where they were introduced to the
soldier candidate. It is just as well
not to comment upon whether this
call had any significance.
Ex-Senator Chauncey M. Depew, 86
years young, arrived Saturday as a
elegate from New York, remarking
that this was his 14th republican na-
ional convention. His first one was as
delegate, to the convention in 1864.

Mr. Depew said he expected to attend

tor and humorist, as illustrating that
there is no regularly prescribed
method' of living to old age, told this
story:
"When I was in Paris some years
ago I was invited to a dinner in cele
bration of the 100th birthday anni
versary of a noted French chemist.
After the chemist told me how he
held onto life by simply having kept
himself satisfied I leaned over and
inquired, 'But, honest, what do you
drink?' He replied, 'Nothing but
water from ,the Seine." I learned,
however, the next day that there was
still living in Paris one of Napoleon's
old guard who was 103 years old and
he had gone to bed drunk every night
since the battle of Waterloo."

Every train from the west brings in

wire advance information back to his

Joe Singer of Portland) was elected
special sergeant-at-arms for the Ore
gon delegates on the motion of Wal
ter L. Tooze Jr. The Tooze motion,
which was carried with a whoop and
hurrah, was followed by loud ap
plause which Joe acknowledged with
a broad smile of appreciation.
mm
Delegate Tooze evoked the big
laugh of the Oregon conference this
afternoon when Chairman Rand de
clared nominations to be in order for
the Oregon member of the committee
on notification of the presidential
nominee. "Well, now, that depends on
who's nominated," said Captain Tooze.
"If it's Johnson, I favor Judge Mc
Caraant." Arthur W. Dunn, veteran Washing
ton newspaperman, tells an amusing
story to illustrate the mistake of
scoffing at some of the most harmless
looking candidates. "I was on the
newspaper special carrying the Wash
ington correspondents to the repub
lican convention at Chicago in 1888
when some stranger came through the
train taking a straw ballot," said Mr.
Dunn, "when a slip of paper was
handed to Perry Heath, correspondent
of the Indianapolis Journal. Mr.
Heath rather apologetically wrote the
name of Benjamin Harrison, just as
a matter of loyalty, because Mr.
Heath's paper was the lone promoter
of the Harrison boom. Harrison had
29 of the 30 delegates from Indiana,
but his candidacy was more or less a
joke among the wl-je ones. When the
straw ballots were counted Harrison
received only one vote, that of Perry
Heath, but was nominated just the
same in a convention which hung in
a deadlock over Sunday.
It was said here today that Senator
Borah had come to Chicago for the
convention confidently expecting to be
the nominee. The low down is that
Senator Borah expects the Johnson
delegates to Jump to him if their can
didates fail and that theirs will fall
on him as a compromise.

The reason of the unrest i3 simple.
Nearly a thousand delegates are here

In the old days they used to go to

between bosses they were thrashed

and disorderly times of 1912 the dele
gates knew that they would nominate
either Roosevelt or Tatt.

no bosses. Penrose could-not be here

Strategy Declared to Be to Depend (
on Failure or AH Others
for Nomination.
CHICAGO, June 6. Hoover head
quarters last night authorized the an
nouncement that, according to present
plans, a nominating speech for Her
bert Hoover would be dispensed with.
but that if it were decided to have one
made, it would be delivered by Nathan
L. Miller of Syracuse, one of the New
York delegates. ,
The strategy of the Hoover mana
gers, it was said, was to depend on
the convention failing to cast a ma
jority vote for any candidate and to
place Mr. Hoover in nomination, prob
ably without a formal speech, at what
they consider to be the proper moment.
The name of Governor Calvin Cool-
idge of Massachusetts will be placed
before the convention by Speaker. F.
H. Gillett of the house of representatives.
Reports earlier in the evening cred
iting the Hoover headquarters with
announcing that a nominating speech
would be made by Judge Miller
brought a disclosure of the plan and
the following statement by Miller:
I hav not authorized anyone to
say that I shall make a nominating
speech for Mr. Hoover. I am for Mr.
Hoover and shall vote for him la the
convention, but whether any nominat
ing speech will be made for Mr.
Hoover will be decided later."

At this time four years ago Charles
Evans Hughes was as good as nomi

cast until four days later. Tonight he
is being mentioned here and there
among the dark horses. Mention o
ex-President Taft also is heard in the
same way. The Hughes talk, which
could not be denominated a boom and
yet bears th stamp of a good deal of
support, was brought in by New York
business men and financiers, who con

NEW YORK. June 6. (Special.)
Mrs. Mary Florence, an Inmate of the
Norwegian hospital, Brooklyn, fight

mented woman in an effort to fling
herself from the third floor window
of the hospital yesterday, struggled
for 15 minutes on the window ledge
with Miss May Foren, a nurse, whil
more than a score of other inmates
shrieked for help. Dr. Rienstren ar
rived just in time to prevent the two
women falling out of the window.
Mrs. Florence has suffered for more
than a year with a nervous disorder.
Several of the ward patients today
saw Mrs. Florence creep from her bed
while trie nurse was out of the ward
and run toward the window. Two of
the patients shouted for help, which
bretught Miss Foren back to the ward
jus in time to see Mrs. Florence
raise the window.
but now it is said that the service
will be performed by Deleate-at-
Large Miller, of New York. Here
and there you may see a Hoover but
ton, and the walls are decorated with
occasional and rather modest Hoover
placards, but there are no crowds
shouting that they want Hoover, no
brass bands, no processions, no meet
ings, no anything but the silent and I
watchful presence of a few admirers
of the great food conservator.
This is not to say that Hoover is
out of the question, for he may after
all prove the solution of the nomina
tion tangle. The Hoover managers
are sitting tight and playing a wait
ing game. Some gambler would say
that they may have an ace in the
hole. Perhaps they have.

Samuel Gompers declared in his de

him by Oovernor Allen of Kansas in

Gompers' replies were made in pub

Governor Allen asked whether the

would Mr. Gompers protect those

Strikes in which the public peace
has been threatened, Mr. Gompers
said, "usually have been strikes in
which the employer or public officials
infuenced by employers have created
the breach of peace by the use of
thugs, armed guards and detectives.'

FRUIT OFFICE CREATED
John A. 3ead of Pittsburg Named
Vice-President at Seattle.
SEATTLE,- Wash., June 6. (Spe
cial.) Creation of the office of v'ce
president and election to that post of
John' A. Mead of Pittsburg, who has
arrived in Seattle, was announced to
day by Reginald H. Parsons, presi
dent of the Northwestern Fruit ex
change. Mr. Mead' has spent 24 "years with
service companies and resigned a high
executive post with the Pittsburg
railways company to accept the of
fer in Seattle. Mr. Parsons said he
was rated as an expert in economics,
corporate, tax and financial matters,
and as such would fit in well with
certain Intricate problems confronting
the fruit industry.
may be doubted, however, if he has
the boldness to do it, unless he intends
thus by a dramatic exit to bid fare
well to his own candidacy.
Who la Not Wanted la Knows.
It is easy to see that the delegates
as a wnoie would Ditteriy resent tne
washing of the republican soiled linen
in the official presence of the con
vention. It may be justifiable strat
egy to use the senate forum and the
columns of the newspapers to make
exposures of other candidates' meth
ods, but it will hardly ba excused in
Johnson if he precipitates a wrangle
on that sensitive subject at the coli
seum.
It will be a poor way to start a
Johnson stampede. If there is a
good way, Johnson will be glad to
adopt it, of course, but nobody" knows
what it is. Here in the 1920 conven
tion are delegates who are seasoned
to political sensation and they may
not be readily swept off their feet
in any sudden rush of emotion pro
duced by Johnsonian or uorahvlan
eloquence on any subject.' They may
not know whom they want, but they
certainly know whom they do not
want. There may be no outstanding
leaders, but there is a pretty well
disciplined lot of followers, some of
whom went through the bitter Roose
veltian ordeal of 1912 .and the lesser
ordeal of 1916, without the twitch
of an" eyelash. All this is another
way of saying that Johnson has a
difficult task. The Johnson bludgeon
is more likely to hurt than-to help.
Deadlock Appears Certain.
The convention is progressing pret
ty surely to a deadlock. It may be
