brings out an array of guesses on
how long the convention will have to
sit. Governor Allen of Kansas, who
is to nominate General Wood, said
today he did not expect the nominat
ing speeches would be reached before
Friday and that the balloting would
not be started before Saturday. He
looked for a protracted session of the
resolutions committee.
Wood Nomination First.
From today's preliminary arrange
ments, it appeared that the Wood
nomlnatng speech would come first.
Alabama, alphabetically first in the
call for nominations, it was said,

dent and Nomination on Third
Ballot Is Predicted.
CHICAGO. June 9. While the re
publican convention holds daily rou
tine sessions and the managers of the
candidates continue to hustle and hope
and predict, the real fight for the
moment has switched back to the
league of nations.
it centers on the question of whether
the republican party is going to de
clare flatly against the league of na
tions or. whether it is going to declare
for a league with reservations.
While the delegates were assem
bling in the Coliseum today to make
Senator Lodge and the remainder of
the temporary organization the per
manent one, and to bear nothing more
exciting than a prayer and a speech
by Chauncey M. Ucpew, the league
cf nations fight was being carried
on in the quiet of a committee room
downtown, where a dozen men repre
senting the reservationists and the
irrecoiiciiablcs were gathered about
a tabic.
Bitter Fight In Store.
The-irreconcilables swear they will
fight to the last ditch to prevent the
republican party from going before
the country with any sort of an in
dorsement of the league idea and thus
become "the tail of President Wison's
kite," as Senator Johnson himself puts
it. The element opposed to them
argues it will be a sorry thing for
the party if their vjpws prevail.
So involved has the fight become,
and so indefinite are the prospects of
its end. that the programme for the
convention tomorrow is upset and
thrown into doubt.
Jt meets at 11 o'clock and has noth
ing before it but to hear the report
of the resolutions committee a'lopt a
platform and nominate candidates.
One plan has been proposed to skip
the plntform until the committee is
ready to report and to go ahead with
the nomination speeches. Those who
propose it maintain it is possible to
do so under the rules of today, which
provide for "unfinished business" at
the bottom of the list of prooi'dnre.
They contend the platform could be
considered the unfinished business and
the convention could get the nomina
tions out of the way without remain
ing idle while the resolutions commit
tee fights out the league issue.
M ooil and tomlrn Opponed.
The Wood and Lowden people par
ticularly express themselves as un
alterably opposed to that plan of pro
cedure. Jt could, of course, be done under a
suspension of the rules which would
require unanimous consent, but the
Wood people say they would object to
it. A recess while the resolutions
committee works seems to bo one
solution.
While all this is going on, the Knox
boom has been revived, and during
the day it, of all the dark horse booms,
seemed to have some new momentum,
always taking into consideration the
common idea that the convention will
turn to other fields if Johnson, Low
den and Wood fail to show strength
promising a majority soon after the
first few ballots.
Johnson Withdrawal Hinted.
One story Deing told in Connection
with it was characterized by Senator
Johnson, through one of his lieuten
ants, as "absolutely ridiculous," but
was much discussed.
This story ran that if no nomina
tion were reached up to the fifth bal
lot. Senator Johnson would lay his
candidacy aside, if the convention
would grant to him and Senator Bor
ah unlimited time to discuss the can
didacies and pre-convention campaign
expenditures of Wood and Lowden.
The other angle of the story was that
Senator Knox would be brought out as
a candidate at that juncture. Coupled
with the general knowledge of close
friendship between Senators Johnson
'and Knox, and their irreconcilable po
sition together against a league in any
form, this story furnished the most
interesting piece of gossip of the day.
although it was thrown down by Sen
ator Johnson.
ood talk which began running in
a. stronger tide last night, seemed not
to disturb the Johnson managers. A
conference of a dozen or more John
son advisers late today, it was said
decided on a policy of attempting no
trades or alliances until the start of
a break from Wood or Lowden, for
which they hope. The Johnson ad
visers also predict there will be no
hurried break of Johnson-instructed
delegates away from the senator after
they have performed their obligations
by voting for him on the first ballots.
Bnlloting Expected Saturday.
The senator's advisers said they
Tvere confident Vie could hold his dele
gates until he released them.
Johnson leaders, too. it was said
were working to convince the large
delegation of eastern business men
who have gathered here favoring oth
er candidates that Senator Johnson
is not the radical and dangerous man
to business interests that he has been
represented. They hope, if they can
make headway with this programme,
it will be easier to bring the old-line
people to Johnson if Lowden and
Wood fail to poll a majority.
The confusion over tomorrow's pro
gramme and delay in the platform
tion which follows and would be en
abled to determine whether the senti
ment is among the delegates or in the
galleries.

goings and comings between the lead

knowledge that they were close per
sonally and politically and that Sproul
was his own man and not Penrose's.
It was thought, too, that the Penrose
idea was to make a combination with
Johnson by which the Californian
would take second place to Knox, but
Jchnson has indicated that he will
play second fiddle to nobody. He is
for Hiram and for him alone.
Convention Hostile to Johnson.
Henay well be aware that the con
vention is hostile to him and his prin
ciples and methods. It is said that he
has disclosed to his intimates his un
derstanding of the situation and has
declared his intention to make the
convention majority fight every inch
of ground. It is quite clear now that
Johnson has known all along that his
best chance for a victory lay in a
triumph for him and Borah in a plat
form which took an outright stand
against any league ahd that there was
only a possibility for him in a
straddle.
This is a league convention and if
there were no complications of candi
dates' politics there would be an over
whelming indorsement of the league
with reservations and an emphatic de
mand for ratification. But some dele
gates, notably a few who set them
selves up for leaders, have been dis
couraged and even frightened by the
truculence of Borah and Johnson and
have thought it wise to compromise
with them, so as to give them no ex
cuse to bolt. What the convention
wants is a winning candidate. But
it transpires also that it is not willing
to stultify itself or the party by
throwing principle to the winds for
the sole reason that it wants to win
in November. The straddlers are, after
all. a single minority.
.It is reported that the sub-commit
tee on platform had reached practi
cally an agreement on a league plank
by which the action of the senate in
its long and successful fight with
President Wilson would be indorsed.
and a general recommendation for an
association of nations, acting through
a high court of arbitration, would be
made. Any demand of ratification of
the present reservations, even Ameri
canizing reservations, could be ig
nored. But when the entire com
mittee was canvassed it was found
to he hostile to such a generalization,
and the little plan of low diplomacy
was laid aside. It was probably ascer
tained also that the convention itself
was beginning to bow its back against
any plan to Johnsonize the republican
party, eveh half way.
Leaene May CftDst Open Battle.
Now the committee is to tackle the
knotty league problem again. What
ever it does is likely to lead to an
open battle in the convention over
the league. It is safe enough to pre
dict that the result will not be a vic
tory for the non-leaguers. If there
is finally a straddle it will be because
some consummate genius has devised
an utterance which will appear to the
convention to be no such thing. A

to at least one candidate, a determi
nation as to control.
I have said that the convention now
appears to be moved by sounder mo
tives than the mere performances of
the political duty of finding out how
best to win the election. It would not
be wrong in order to win. It desires
to be both right and successful. It
will be folly to invite defeat by taking
a stand on principle and then by mak
ing a bad nomination. The latter er
ror may be avoided, by the exercise
of coolness and horse sense.
The conviction is growing that No
vember is to show no walkover, and
it is realized that nomination of a
weak candidate will Invite disaster.
The Sproul contingent has diligently
spread the alarm, and it has been ef
fective. The weakening of Lowden
can be traced directly' to that source.
The St. Louis scandal has, for exam
ple, profoundly affected the Missouri
delegation. They are said to have
been nearly a unit for Lowden, but
they are not now a unit, in the sense
that they will stand for a long time.
It cahnot be repeated too often that
no charge is made, except by the
Hearst papers, that Lowden had
bought the St. Louis or any other
delegates, but they kept Lowden's
money." on the theory that it was be
ing put where it would do the most
good. The other Missouri delegates
are uneasy as to any assumption at
home that they may have been im
properly influenced, and they are said
to be preparing to vindicate them
selves quite early in the contest by a
show of independence from Lowden.
L,owdens Prntlge Weakens.
All this is tough on Lowden, but
it is a condition which has enmeshed
him and he has not been able ap
parently to escape it. There was a
time when forces now known to be
against him would have accepted him
and thus made probable his nomina
tion, but it has passed. Yet if the
Sproul project is to succeed, it must
not too soon break him down, for the
immediate beneficiary would be as
likely to be Wood as Sproul or any
other. It will require the most master
ly finesse to hold both Wood and
Lowden in the race. It must be taken
into account that there is no monopoly
of high strategy with the Sproul gen
erals, but that the Wood candidacy is
now in resourceful and experienced
hands. The amateurs have been sent
to the rear and someone, probably
Frank Hitchcock, is in control, who
knows how to play the game. It is a
game.a great game, the most doubtful
and interesting at any convention for
years.
Minor Candidates See Chance.
Let' it not be forgotten that Sproul
ie not the only dark horse who will
be thrown into the race when the
leaders go down, if they ever do. The
deadlock which is being sought by
the Sproul management will be the
opportunity of all the lesser candi
dates. It is not to be supposed that
they will at once give way to the
Pennsylvanian. There is a host of
minor candidates, among whom may
be mentioned Hoover. Some of them
will never get started, but they are
all planning to start. Let us sum up.
The race is now Wood against the
field. Johnson is practically out,
Lowden is failing, Sproul is coming
fast, and the pthers are still possibilities.

Swift & Company's business

It is the way American indus
