League and Industrial Rela
tions Planks Are Now
in Limelight.
CHICAGO, June 5. (By the As
sociated Press.) The contest be
tween the various aspirants for the
republican presidential nomination
is momentarily obscured by prelim
inary contests over the platform.
One is the league of nations plank
and the other is the industrial rela
tions plank. The latter is acknowl
edged to be loaded with dynamite
and the former is so surrounded by
counter-claims, both that it has been,
and that it has not been arranged,
that the real truth, of the situation
is not apparent.
Most of all the practical politi
cians, however, were predicting that
any coalition of party leaders which
presents the successful solution for
the league of nations plank will
be able to nominate their candidate
for the presidency.
Indiana Plank in Spotlight.
The league of -nations plank in the
Indiana state republican platform
brought here by Senator Watson,
foremost candidate for chairman of
the resolutions committee seems to
be the nucleus around which the dis
cussion is centering and it may pro
vide the basis for the agreement. It
declares in effect that the repub
lican party denounces the league of
nations covenant as it was brought
from Versailles by President Wilson,
but it does not close the door to its
acceptance with reservations.
At that point the reservationists
of various degrees and the irrecon-
cilables appear as the elements to be
brought into harmony. Most of the
party whips seem to be agreed that
the convention cannot take any ac
tion which could be construed as a
v repudiation of the republican leaders
Vi the senate. Compromise seems to
- inevitable, and the predictions of
' -,e field marshals are that the com-
;omise will .develop the candidate.
Leaders in Scrimmage.
, , On the sidelines of the big fight
there is a scrimmage going on be
tween the leaders of the party in
congress and the leaders of the party
throughout the country. Many of
the latter who have come to Chicago
openly expressed the feeling that
senators and representatives have
had too much to say in the decisions

CANDIDATES NOT SURE
nything Likely to Happen When

All Is TTnccrtain Now.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Inc. Published by arrangement.)
CHICAGO, June 5. When the news
finally came this afternoon that Pen
rose would not be here, it carried
Implications not merely of his ab
sence from the convention but of the
passing of that dynasty altogether.
One would have supposed that in
stantly, there would have been a new
chieftain for all eyes to turn to.
One would have supposed that an
ancient and powerful organization
like the republican party would have
been studded here and there with
ambitious men, trained for the vacant
Dost and ready instantly to step
into It.
But it is not so. Not only an in
dividual but a generation has passed,
and in the younger generation there
are no figures camparable to Penrose
in power or personality.
Conference to Be Called.
What is happening, so far as any
thing definite at all is happening, to
fill Penrose's place is that informal
conferences will be held within the
next two or three days to agree upon
the generalship of the convention.
For the moment, Penrose's feeble
strength ebbs along a thousand miles
of telephone wire to a room in" the
Congress hotel, where his words are
received by John T King of Connec
ticut and Senator -James Watson of
Indiana.
If the situation here is chaotic as
to leadership, so also is ix cnaotic as
to candidates. There is, as 1 nave
said, just a faint beginning of coagu
lation looking toward leadership;
but, as respects the candidates, noth
ing grows more definite. There is not
a candidate who is confident of win
ning; there is not a manager who is
confident of winning.
There are men scheduled to make
nominating speeches who have not
any confidence in the success of their
candidates; there are men. scheduled
to make nominating speeches who
are spending today in earnest discus
sion looking to the selection of a
candidate other than the one they
represent. There is no candidate who
is adding to the number of his dele
gates. One or two candidates must
be conscious that their delegates are
weakening in loyalty. There is noth
ing definite; nothing that takes form.
Wood-Lowden KlRht First. j
Under these circumstances your
correspondent has a strong distaste
to share in the predictions that are
so common. But it would be reason
ably safe to say these things?
Somewhere in' the early ballots
there is likely to be a tug-of-war be
tween Wood and Lowden. In the
deciding of that tug-of-war the 984
delegates can be divided, roughly,
into four groups. There are about
300 delegates who are, in varying de
grees, loyal to Wood. There are about
250 delegates who are, in varying
degrees, loyal to Lowden.
There are about 250 delegates who
compose what may roughly be called
the "balance-of-power" group. They

BATTLE ROYAL TO BE

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
(Copyright, 1920, by the Bell Syndicate.

EX ROUTE TO CHICAGO, June 5.
(Special.) In a battle royal six or
eight men, usually blameless ethlo
plans, are set at large in a ring
equipped with boxing gloves and
urged to fight until the best man
wins. Sometimes there Is a general
scrimmage. Sometimes all the little
fellows pick on the big one as long
as he lasts.
Anyway, there are side wallops, and
wallops on the bias, and punches on
the jaw, and belts on the back of the
head and even the foul line is seldom
scrupulously respected.
You may have seen a battle royal.
If you have you will have a fairly
good idea of what is about to happen
at Chicago. If you haven't seen one.
the foregoing two paragraphs to some
extent will confer upon you the gift
of prophecy.

(JHUJAUO, June i. Delegate con
tests which have furnished spectacu
lar features of the pre-convention
period were finished tonight by the
republican national committee with
decided advantage to Governor Low
den.
Although on actual instructions of
the 137 contested delegates General
Wood received 12 and Governor Low
den seven with 116 uninstructed, the
reported leanings of the disputed
delegates favor the Illinois governor.
The committee in the two Missouri
contests refused to seat any contes
tants. All of the II dlstrtct delegates from
Virginia aligned with the Slemp fac
tion were seated.
gro Pleas Rejected.
The committee rejected earnest
pleas of negro contestants for seats
and also decided separate anti-organization
contests In the third and
eighth districts in favor of the Slemp
faction.
According to the reports of the can
didates favored by the delegates seat
ed the 135 delegates involved were
distributed as follows: Wood 18,
Lowden 65, Johnson 4, Judge Prich-
ard of North Carolina 17, tininstructed
and scattering 31, with the two Mis
souri contests rejected entirely.
All of the contests are expected to
be appealed to the convention cre
dentials committee and subject to re
vision by the convention itself.
Wood Has 124 Delegates.
The committee's decision left the
actual instructed lineup on the con
vention temporary roll, without re
gard to uninstructed delegates' known
leanings, as follows:
Wood 124, Johnson 112, Lowden 72.
Harding 39, Poindexter 14, Sproul 76,
Sutherland 16. and Judge Pritchard of
North Carolina 22.
The resolution for reorganization of
party affairs in the south followed
acrimonious battling tpday between
whites and negroes during disposal
of 43 contests, of which there were 23
from Texas, 15 from Virginia and
five from Georgia. In nearly all the
negroes charged and the white dele
gates denied racial discrimination.
The resolution by National Com

BY EDGAR B. PIPER.
CHICAGO, June 5. (Editorial
Correspondence.) Leonard Wood is
the victim of fool friends, and his
political bark is making heavy, very
heavy, weather. He may be nomi
nated, but if so it will not be because
his campaign has been wisely man
aged, but in spite of its many mis
takes. The climax of a damaging
series of tactical blunders was
reached when Senator Moses took it
upon himself to arraign the national
committee for its action in seating
certain Georgia delegates favorable
to Lowden in language that was not
discreet and scarcely parliamentary.
The committee had devoted itself
conscientiously and judicially to the
troublesome task of settling the
quarrels between the many rival
southern delegates, and had sought
to decide them on their merits. This
may seem a new and strange pro
cedure for a political organization.
Certainly strict impartiality has not
been the rule in the past, out in
these present days of the uplift, po
litical management has become im
bued with the spirit of virtuous and
dispassionate action, and the com
mittee was nobly going forward to
its work without regard to the inter
ests or desires of any candidate. The
Lowden delegates won in Georgia,
and in some other place, because
their credentials were regular and
the record was clear, and for no
other reason. It is easy to work up
a contest in any southern state.
Suspicion Well Defined.
There is a well-defined suspicion
that in certain districts the familiar
game of sending on a contesting
delegation was engineered from the
outside. It would be unfair to say
that the Wood organization was
alone in any such scheme. They all
do it. But it happened in the Georgia
case that the delegation which had
only the shadow of a claim to regu
larity was avowedly for Wood. Low
den had been there first and the
machinery was in the hands of his
friends. The committee has no proper
alternative in such a contest but to
put the regular delegates on the roll.
The total number of southern dele
gates is something over 200, and the
value to a candidate is not small, for
