Another Week of Price Reductions on
Chesterfield Suits and Overcoats
It was imperative that we advance the prices over last week's low price level. Still
the reductions for the coming week afford the Clothes Buying Public an oppor
tunity to buy good clothes mighty cheap, in view of the fact that we must pay 25
per cent more for clothing of equal value to replace stock sold.;
Through buying at these prices now you will be able to save a. lot of money on the
clothing you'll need now or for fall: We urge you for your welfare, buy now, you
will thank us later. . . V

of the party's affairs and that some
consideration must be given to the
chieftains from the provinces.
. The statement by George Beeck-
man of Rhode Island that he was not
sure whether he was going to "a re
publican convention or a senatorial
caucus" has been construed as a no
tics from the governors and state
leaders that they will demand to be
heard.
Judging- by their degree of pre-con-rention
activity. Wood, Lowden and
Johnson might properly be designated
the "big three." On one proposition
their managers are fully agreed. They
all claim victory. They differ on how
it Is to be achieved, or on what ballot
It is to be, but they assure all in
quirers there is no doubt about it.
AH Manager Satisfied.
Seventy-two hours before Senator
Lodge's gavel drops in the big coli
seum, a composite talking machine
record of the expressions of the man
agers would say: 'We are perfectly
satisfied with the situation. The
strength of our candidate is steadily
increasing."
The sentiment expressed on the
etreet, presumably reflecting the
views of the man up the tree, are as
many and as varied as the number of
candidates. One hears with the great
est degree of finality, "Lowilen or a
dark horse" and "Johnson after the
third ballot," or "Wood after all the
others have been eliminated."
Convention time brings to Chicago
a small army of political writers who
feel that by analyzing the cross cur
rents in the muddy and turbulent
stream which swirls about the hotel
lobbies and in and out of the inner
coves of the campaign managers'
offices, they can discern the course
of the tides and predict with cer
tainty to the folks back home what
Is going to happen.
Prediction Only Opinion.
Any predictions at this time are
(he results of analysis, deduction and
opinion rather than information. It
there is a single man in Chicago who
knows what the republican national
convention is going to do, he hasn't
appeared with any proof of his knowl
edge. One straw which would show the
way the wind blows would be a cau
cus of uninstructed delegates. About
the only place in Chicago large enough
in which to hold it is the Coliseum
itself, and the indications are that
the first caucus of uninstructed ones
will be held there some day next
week when, preliminary business hav
ing been disposed of, the clerk be
gins to call the roll.

A seeker after information made it
a point today to ask each of the per
sonal managers what the week of
preliminaries had brought forth. They
all gave the (.nine answer. It was
'There are some things going on
under the surface, but they haven't
been disclosed yet."
' And, according to the best indica
tions. what has been going on had
been an attempt to get all elements
together on a harmonious platform
and at the same time estimate the
real strength and staying qualities of
the various forces so that plans might
be made accordingly.
Monday and Tuesday and probably
Wednesday will be exhibition days at
convention hall. Organizations will
have to be perfected and while the
delegates are being entertained by
the big brass band up in the balcony
and by keynote speeches, and the best
orators and entertainers the party
has, the resolutions committee, work
ing night and day at one of the hotels,
will be striving to bring out the basis
of an acceptable agreement and the i
various whips will have their scouts
out recording the preferences and
leanings of the uninstructed dele
gates. Drlejrarton Claim Conflict.
They .will also be keeping a close
ere on the instructed delegations to
make sure they do not break away.
In tome cases already the Johnson,
Wood and Lowden force among
themselves are claiming the same
delegations.
The adjournment that follows the
second or third ballot probably will
find the convention ready to go over
the top, and noon of the next day
will be the zero hour. That will be
the time to be prepared for surprises.
By then it is expected that the large
delegations from the most ' populous
states will have assessed the strength
of the candidates, the sticking quality
of their delegations, and be ready to
come in with an agreement among
themselves on some one of the candi
dates' or possibly a dark horse, who
can be put over.
S-nrlrl Gather Momentum.
Tonight while the boards of strat
egy are poring over their plans and
the fighting forces are undergoing
last minute inspection, the convention
swirl around the hotels and on the
streets is gathering momentum. The
delegates and visitors are -pouring in
on every train. Equipped with the
cheer leaders, song leaders and almost
every other contrivance, human and
otherwise, that Is likely to appeal to
the emotions of 10,000 people, they
hope at the psychological moment
they will be the center of a winning
wave.
Old-time convention habitues wag
their heads at the modern ideas that
go nowadays with boosting a presi
dential boom. There used to be spell
binders, flag wavers and torchlight
parades. Now there are brigades of
ballad singers, piano players, rhyme
sters, glad-handers. social service
workers and any number of persons
who might be found desirable under
Webster's definition of factotum ex
traordinary.
Service Station Offered.
A presidential candidate at this
crnvention conies equipped with
service station. Jf Mr. Delegate
can't make a good job out of his
butterfly boat, a pretty lady will
deftly help him out . and probably
vamp him a bit in the operation
finishing up by putting a "some-body
for president" button on his coat
lapel. -The service department will
help Mrs. Delegate find a good room
or pick out a new hat it will do
anything but give the real "low
down" on who Is going to be nomi
nated. In these days when everybody has
something to ?ay about the high cost

' U constrained iu ruminations on the
high cost of being pleasant to dele
gates. There are free automobiles
for everybody, free advice, free in
formation, free helps, tnere would
probably be free drinks if congress
and the eighte2nth amendment had
not intervened and the candor and
honesty which should characterize
the efforts of a reporter forbid that
this dispatch should give an impres
sion that there are not some of these.
About once an hour a shower of can
ned interviews and statements comes
cut of the headquarters o every
candidate and if there is a paper
shortage It doesn't exist in the con
vention arena.
Candidate Meet Reporter.
But the candidates themt-elves re
lieve the pregs agents by meeting the
assembled newspaper correspondents
twice a day, answering questions, and
making statements first hand.
With the arrival tomorrow of Sen
ator Borah plans for the Johnson
rally on Monday night will be com
pleted. An overflow meeting prob
ably will be held in the street, as
there are more requests for tickets
than there are seats in .the theater.
A petition from Sanfield Ma"cDon-
ald, a Johnson leader in Oregon, ask
ing the national committee to unseat
Wallace McCamant. one of Oregon's
delegates, was received and filed
without action. No credentials for
a substitute delegate accompanied the
petition, which declares that Mi'Cam
ant "obtained his election by fraud"
and "refuses to obey the mandate of
the republican party, whose servant
he is under the law."
McCamant, following his election as
delegate, announced that he would
not vote for Senator Johnson, al
though Johnson carried the Oregon
preferential primary.
McCamant I Quoted.
MacDonald's petition quotes from a
pre-election statement In which Mc
Camant is alleged to have declared
he would abide, by the result of the
primary.
Governor Lowden has recovered
from the illness which confined him
to his rooms. Today he advised his
campaign managers he would remain
in Chicago so long as his presence
was needed. It is probable that he
will not return to Springfield until
the middle of the week or later.
With the arrival of the Massa
chusetts delegation tomorrow, head
quarters for Governor Coolidge will
be opened by James B. Reynolds, ex-
secretary of the republican national
committee.
'Governor Coolidge is not seeking
the presidency," said Mr. Reynolds.
He has said that be is not a candi
date but his friends and . admirers
everywhere have insisted upon work
ing in his behalf.
Governor Coolidge Is neither a
dark horse candidate nor a compro
mise candidate."
Edward Randolph Wood of Phila
delphia, who polled 250.000 votes in
the Pennsylvania primary, in which
he was the only candidate whose
name appeared upon the republican
ballot, announced today that Judge
Albert Sames of Douglas, Ariz., would
place him in nomination and that a
delegate from Texas would second it.
Although Mr. Wood carried the Penn
sylvania primary, the delegation
from the state declined to nominate
him, and decided to cast its vote for
Governor Sproul, who was not a
contender in the primary.
. John won Jfot to Leave.
Senator Johnson announced that he
had no intention of leaving Chicago
during the convention. "I will be on
hand every minute of the time and I
hope to make my presence felt." said
the senator. "I am growing happier
and more hopeful with the passing of
the hours.
When asked concerning his Idea of
the length of convention. Senator
Johnson said:
"I can see no obstacle that would
prevent the finish by Saturday night.
The only tight that I anticipate is on
the platform and the only plank in
the platform that there probably will
be a fight on is that concerning the
attitude of the convention, on the
league of nations. I do not antici
pate that that will last long."
Iieagne Question Dodged.
When asked if he would accept the
nomination with a platform Indorsing
the league of nations covenant with
reservations. Senator Johnson said:
""I will cross that bridge when I
come to it." ' ,
It - was explained to the senator
that during his morning conference
he was understood to have said, that
he would accept the nomination on a
platform containing the indorsement
of the league of nations covenant,
but with the Lodge reservations at
tached. His answer was: VI will
cross that bridge when I come to it."
A platform plank pledging the
party to a constitutional amendment
limiting the president to one term of
four or six years will be offered to
the .resolutions committee by Gover
nor Xowdcn. The plank prepared by
the governor also proposes 'that cabi
net officer who eeek the presidency
must firsf resign from the cabinet.
A president, the governor said to
day, could accomplish more good in
one four-year term, if he were not
considering: political expediency and
measures to win renomination. than
In eight years under the present
system. There would be no objection.
he added, to an ex-president seeking
a second term after being Out of
office a term or longer, as there
could be no suspicion that a political
machine built up while-in office-was
being used to perpetuate his admin
istration. Single Term Held Desirable.
A single term for the president was
particularly desirable at this time,
the governor said, for the reason that
"the man elected this year, if he does
his full duty, will have to- do things
unpopular with the people in politics
and others."
Governor Lowden made no comment
on Senator G. H. Moses charges that
the republican national committee
wa.R using a "steam roller" in his be
half. General Wood expressed himself as
being thoroughly satisfied with the
situation.
"We have a hard working, harmo
nious staff and reports are good,"
he said. "I will stay here until Mon
day night and then retire to a near
but invisible spot,"
SEAT CONTESTS CLOSED

reorganization of the republican par
ty in the "solid south."
Despite the arguments or the negro
contestants, the committee seated all
the so-called regular or . organization
delegates from both Texas and Vir
ginia. The Wood forces won two more
votes when the committee seated
Roscoe Pickett and W. Y. Gilliam
from the ninth Georgia district and
rejected the contest of those indorsed
by Henry Lincoln Johnson.. The com
mittee's action left the Georgia dele
gation with four delegates favoring
Wood and 13 unpledged but regarded
as supporters of Lowden.
Women Defy mokf Cloud.
Women sat in the deliberations of
the republican national committee to
day, taking part for the first' time
In making convention decisions. They
sat holding proxies of the national
committeeman from their home
states, Kansas, Missouri and Tennes
see. Apparently taking a hearty interest
in their new-found privilege, the
women sat placidly in the clouds of
tobacco smoke, closely following the
arguments and voting in the deci
sions. The probability that Wood leaders
will carry several delegate contests
to the credentials committee was an
nounced by Major-General Leonard
Wood today.
"I do not know what contests will
be appealed to the credentials com
mittee." said General Wood. "But
there probably will be a number of
them."
General Wood mid that there was
no talk among the Wood forces of
any coalition with the Johnson cam
paign in any way.
Asked whether he considered his
statement last night as a repudiation
of the statement of Senator Moses,
General Wood said:
"I am not repudiating anything.
Senator Moses issued his statement
and I issued mine. They stand as
separate statements. Senator Moses
Issued his statement for himself and
I issued mine for myself, but I have
not repudiated in connection with
either statement."

TIRED LOOKING WOMEN
Some women always wear a worn,
tired look. It is the outward sign of
nervousness, neurasthenia, perhaps,
with its characteristic symptoms of
worry, headache and sleeplessness.
Overwork, grief, undue excitement,
the late hours and nervous strain of a
strenuous social season, lack of out-of-door
exercise, any or all of these
may be responsible for the trouble,
but the most common cause at this
season of the year is the grip.
Whatever the cause, if you feel the
need of more strength try the great
non-alcoholic tonic. Dr. Williams
Pink Pills. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the
treatment must be directed towards
building up the blood. Dr. Williame'
Pink Pills act directly on the blood
and with proper regulation of the
diet have proved of the greatest ben
efit In many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients,
is also corrected by these tonic pills.
