Knox Boom Revived Wood
Talk Steadily Increasing
in Volume
CHICAGO. June 9. Republican
differences over the league ot nations
fulminated today in an open threat
from Irreconcilable senators to leave
the party unless it declared flatly
against the league of nations.
The ultimatum was delivered in
dramatic fashion at a conference uf
leaders. It put the league issue sud
denly to the fore of all other ques
tions before the national conven
tion, not excepting even the nomina
tion of a presidential candidate. .
While the delegates were assembl
ing In the Coliseum today to make
Senator Lodge and the remainder
of. the temporary organization the
permanent one. and to bear nothing
more exciting than a prayer and a
speech by Channcey M. DePew, the
league of nations, fight was being
carried in Jhe quiet of a committee
room down town, where a dozen men
representing the reservationists and
the irreconcilables were gathered
abont a table.
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 en-
dorsement of the league Idea, and
thus become "the tail to President
I Wilson's kite," as Senator Johnson
himself pats it. The element op-
i posed to them argues it will be a
I sorry thing for the party if their
lews prevail
So involved, has the fight become,
, and so indefinite are the prospects
of its end, that the program for the
convention tomorrow is upset and
I thrown into doubt. ,
It meets at 11 o'clock and has
; nothing before it bat to hear the re
? port of the resolutions committee.
. adopt a platform and nominate can
didates. One olan has been oronosed
' to skip that platform until the com
- mittee is ready to report, and go
: ahead with the nominating speeches.
Those who propose to maintain it is
possible to do so under the rules
11 bf today which provided for "un
f finished business" at the bottom of
the list of procedure. They contend
the platform could be considered the
, unfinished , business and the conven
, tion could get the nominations' out
tl the way without remaining1 idle
while . the resolutions committee
fights ont the league Issue.
The Wood and Lowden people par
ticularly express themselves as un
alterably opposed to that plan of
procedure.
' It could, of course, be done under
a auspensfori of the rules, which!
would require unanimous consent.!
but the Wood people say they would
object to it. A recess while the reso
lutions committee works, seems to be
one solution.
While all this is going on, the
Knox boom has been revived, and
during the day it. of all the dark
horse boo ma, seemed to have some
' new momentum, always taking Into
consideration the common idea that
the convention will turn to other
fields if Johnson, Lowden and Wood
fail to show strength promising a
majority soon after the first few!
! ballots.
One story being told in connection
with it, was characterized by Senator
Johnson, through one of his lieuten
ants, as, "absolutely ridiculous but
,. Was much discussed:
This ftory ran that if no nomin
ation were reached up to the fifth
' ballot. Senator Johnson would lay
bis candidacy aside, if the conven
tion would grant to him and Senator
Borah unlimited time to discuss the
candidacies and pro-convention cam-
' Palgn expenditures of Wood and
Lowden. The other angle of th
5 story was that Senator Knox would
, m brought out as a candidate at
; that Juncture. CouDled with the gen
i eral knowlprirn of close friendship
between Senators Johnson and Knox,
! and their irreconcilable position, to
gether against a league in any form,
this story furnished fhe most Inter
esting piece of. gossip of the day. al
t though it was thrown down by Scn
. j ' ator Johnson.
Wood talk, which bepan running
in a stronger tide last night, was said
not to disturb the Johnson managers.
A conference of a aosen. or more
, Johnson aiiviners late today, it was
said, decided on a policy of attempt
ing no- trades or alliances until the
start of a l;rak from Wood or Ijow-
v den, for which thev hope. The John
son aiviTs also predict there will
be no hurried break of Johnson in

having reached any agreement on a
platform plank to deal with the

as likely to lead to damaging infla
tion of the currency. Planks urge
agricultural encouragement, read
justment of taxation, increased pro
duction to cut the cost of llrlng and
condemn profiteering.
The agricultural plank favors co
operative associations under federal

ties for marketing farm products and
extension of the farm loan banking
system.
The administration is denounced
for ita failure to reduce the expenses
of the government and to return to
peace-time economics. The federal
reserve act Is blamed for many or tne
evils of war financing and the Esch
Cummins law is endorsed. There wll
be a recommendation In favor of ac
tion looking to the restoration ot
railroad credit, reasonable hours and
proper working conditions and fair
wages for men employed In the real
