1 assembled spectators were not as alert
or the interest in !personr not aa, raV
' as is the custom, , '
When Chairman Hays advanced to
the front to call the convention to order,
he was greeted by an ovation tha made
bis smite even broader than. U is wont
. to be. ': "' ' .- ' " " :-- ' "' '
He bowed in 'appreciation and waited
; without Impatient ontll the enthusiasm
had exhausted itself ; then, in a clear
voice, he made the preliminary' boasts
"which are deemed "necessary on sucb an
occasion boasts that assured - the
dience of a coming Republican victory
of greater magnitude than the party ba
ever known. Then he announced the
' nomination of Senator Lodge as tempor
' ary chairman, declared the vote unani
mous, appointed a committee to escort
the convention's choice to the platform
and the keynote speech was 'delivered.
The style of the address was just
what might have been, expected from
one who stands so. high as a scholar;
it was a rhetortcal success. ; The eeaa--tor
followed r the established Tulea of
oratory He began with an appeal to
partisan sentiment and this put the au-
- dience in, a good humor.
Then, taking advantage .of the ap
plause that: be had drawn from them,
he filled in the -less exciting material
; of the speech and reserved for the con-
- elusion of his discussion the League of
Nations. v- . .
His attack on the : president was a
.digest of all that has been said "in the
-way of criticism. ; It was a complete
, Indictment and enumerated ail that the
Republicans have found fault with," the
. chief count being directed against what
the senator described as an autocratic
" spirit, i - -v - ' ':'. - .
J PASSES OYEB FAILURES
; The president was accused of Jhaving
t disregarded , the legislative ", branch of
- the government and usurping authority
belonsinsr to eonirress. He declared that
'Wilson, his heirs and . assigns" was the
paramount duty of the hour moreMm
' portant by comparison than any domes
tic or international issue.
In giving a list of the things done by
A the Republican congress he manifested
Home embarrassment tiiat the lief was
- not longer and the subjects more im
portant. When it is remembered that
un ijcsnocrais- naa Deen in power far
, six years, enactincr and renealinir It
; would seem that they would have done
rriore that needed to be undone, or would
'. have left more that needed to be done
SIC tho Republican charge of ' incompe
. tency Is to be borne out.
ADMIXISTKATIOjr BLAMED
While no credit was given- for the un-
precedented tasks eerformed durtnar th
war, no criticism, was made of the eco
nomic reforms accomplished : and no
petty complaint was entered against the
mistakes' necessarily made In the han

The Republican party was excused for
failure to stop profiteering, not on the
ground that there is no exploitation go
ing on. but on the ground that the administration-
has -not enforced the laws
gainst profiteering. Senator Lodge did
not go an, far as Senator Johnson and
Senator Borah want lat night in exon-
tTvnsrxsa. m : aamiuea tnat
there might be some legislation needed,
but he charged the administration with
lack of energy in protecting the public
PROFITS ABE PROVED
. He did not point out any specific
remedy that might be provided by leg
isiatlon, although he emphasized the
necessity for increased production as a
factor in reducing high prices. He also
laid a part of the blame a considerable
part on the increased volume of money,
apparently forgetting the stock argu-
J my uiwiujcrB in
1896. Tls, that it did not matter whether
we had much money or little so long as
it was ail good.
If anyone doubts the complete vindi
cation of Xbe Qualitative theory of money
so hoUy disputed a Quarter of a cen
tury ago he ought to consult the apco
gist for . high prices. The staunchest
supporters of the qaantitive theory are

show that the increased volume of

proof of enormous excess profits. .

Chicago. June 9. U. P;.) They
might do it by bringing Boles Pen
rose 'to Chicago on a special train
and carrying him into the conven
tion hall on a stretcher; they might
do It -y: escorting William Howard
Taft to the platform and asking; him
to smile; they might by presenting
Charles Evans Hughes suddenly to
the apathetic - delegates.-. -I - They've
got to do It somehow. ;- They've .get
to Inject a salt solution into the
veins of this convention or see its
little . white ' soul go fluttering ; into
the beyond at an unripe age.
The Convention-lapsed into a state of
within an hour after Chairman
Hays called it to order yesterday, and
all the red and green feathers that the
Wood adherents wear had not succeeded
in tickling it back to consciousness today.-,;
. .. - v- ' .
. Once. or twice the convention has
opened its eyes, set those at the bedside
agree .that It showed no signs of recog
nizing anyone.
-If not a salt soiation, then a medicine
dance. .
Perhaps Hiram Johnson, with 1 the
devastating speech widen is said to be
entertaining only by nerolc effort ; per
haps Henry J. Alien, whose admirers
hint he is going to duplicate Bryan's
feat of XS9f. except that his speech may
read: "Ton shall not press down upon
the brow of capital this crown of
thorns,- etc. If Johnson provides this,
the medicine dance' by his enthusiastic
followers is assured. If Allenthen it
depends on the merit of the incantation.
The delegates miss all the old familiar
features They're la a mood -to wel
come the reappearance of the old steam
roller itself, and if the remnant of the
old guard could get that remorseless
chariot to hitting on more Ui&n one

"Well . after Wood, who are you for?"
an Arizona delegate was asked.

"Oh. I don't, know. I guesa that
Coolidge is as good as any."
-There you are. The best that the av
erage delegate has to say for almost
any of the candidates is hat he is as
good as anybody else. And some of
them express it profanely because there
is a little of downright resentment mixed
with their indifference. ..
