It took Senator Lodge exactly one
hour and 18 minutes to read his pre
pared address.
Keynote Well Received
The convention evidently liked the
keynote and broke into another roar
of cheers and applause, many or the
delegates standing and waving flag.
Senator Lodge bowed and smiled as
he acknowledged It.
The temporary chairman then rec
ognteed National Chairman Hays, who
presented a list or temporary out;
oers, previously agreed upon. Secre
tary Miller of the committee read the
list. . ' .
By a chorus of ayes the convention
accepted the list.
Governor Morrow of Kentucky of
fered the resolution for a committee
on permanent organization. The res
olutions for other organization com
mittees were quickly adopted.
Convention Opens
Coliseum, Chicago, June 8. The
republican national convention was
actually called to order at 11:34 a. ra.
soon after Chairman Hays appeared
on the platform and was greeted wtfh
rounds of apr ause and shoiUs.
Chairman Hays brought down the
gavel with a whack, and the conven
tion came quickly to order. Bishop
Charles E. Woodcock of Louisville,
Kentucky, offered the opening pray

"Old Guard" F-arly
" Unlike former corfventions, the Old
Guard came early. In the old days they
were the lust to arrive, being held back
by conferences. As many of the lead
ers took their seats without causing a
ripple of excitement, the band played
i mournful air. .,
There were many women delegates
ami alternates on the floor.
, The seating arrangements were alto
gether different from what they were
(our years ago. In the front rows were
delegations from California, North
Dakota, Arkansas, Connecticut, Colo-
rado and Virginia.
The plutforru was slow in filling up.
Apparently the leaders were in con
ference elsewhere to. determine what
was to be done on th question ,of per
manent organization. The women
delegates were eagerly sought by the
seoutB of the campaign managers and
held quite a handshaking affair of
their own. They seemed to be enjoy
ing their first participation in a na
tional convention. The band continued
to blare off popular airs with regular
ity and delegates and alternates con
tinued to pour in at all the doors. The
galleries were filled early with the for
tunate hundreds who managed to get
in to the disappointment of the un
lucky thousands who lost out on the
tickets. The opening moments were
spent In informal conferences among
the delegates on the floor and renew
als of old acquaintances. Generally
the condition in the hall was remark
ably quiet. Nobody seemed to haw
iy more definite idea of how- things
-were going to line up than they did
la week.

"Dynasty" From Power Say
Lodge In Keynote Addre
Chicago, June 8. The country must drive President Wilson
and his "dynasty" from power and defeat the League of Nations
as he desires it, declared Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, temporary
chairman of the republican national convention, in his keynote
address here today.
Defending the senate's opposition
to the treaty of peace as a high and
patriotic duty, the senator flung down
this gauntlet:
"We make the Issue; we ask appro
bation for what we have done. The
people will now tell us what they
think of Mr. Wilson's league and the
sacrifice of America."
While emphasizing the point that
around the league must be waged the
1920 presidential campaign, and de

Convention Most Unique
In Party Annals; Many ,
Ballots To Be Expected
Chicago, June 8. Unique in the annals of the party, the re
publican national convention assembles today unbossed, unbrid
led and with no presidential candidate having enough votes in
sight to assure his nomination.
It promises to be a record breaker In
all respects. It may cast more balots
than any other repubican convention
since Garfield was nominated In 1880
before the party standard bearer is
named.
- Loader Still Minus.
There is still such a complete ab
sence of bosses as to leae the conven

with authority in the days gone by are
standing on the side lines having a
chuckle while delegates go through the
experience of having a "peoples con
The situation presents an opportun
ity for some shrewd leader to step for

invite a stampede. Practical politici

an easy mark for a runaway.

the senator found time to' lay before
the delegates the stand of the repub
lican party on other salient problems
faoinf the nation. :
Chief among these was Mexico. De
claring it was time tor the United
States to take a firm hand in things
Mexican and end the "disgraceful rec
ord" of the last Beven years, Senator
Lodge urged that this country let the
Mexicans choose as their president
some stroHg and upright man who Is
friendly to the United States and de
termined to establish order and then
lend him a real and cordial support.
"Mexico lies at our doors," he de
clared. "It is a primary duty for us
to deal with it under the Monroe doc
trine lyit nothing has been done yet
we are asked to take a mandate for
Armenia." ,
Salient points made by Senator
Lodge were: 1
"Mr. Wilson and his dynasty, his
heirs and assigns, or anybody that is
his, anybody who with bent knee has
served his purpose must be driven
from all control, from all Influence
upon the government of the United
States.
"They' must be driven from, office
and power, not because they are dem
ocrats, but because Mr. Wilson stands
for a theory of administration and
government which Is not American,
"Thei return of the democrats to
power with Mr. Wilson or one of his
disciples slill the leader and master
of a great party, which before his ad
vent possessed both traditions and
principles, would be a long step in the
direction of the autocracy for which
Mr. Wllscfti yearns and a heavy blow
to the continuance of the free repre
sentative government as we have al
ways conceived and venerated It,
"Mr. Wilson and the autocracy he
represents, and all which those ?ho
believe In his doctrines and share his
spirit represent, must be put aside and
concluslvely.excluded from any future
control.
"The defeat of the present adminis
tration and all it means, transcends
In importance every other question
and all Immediate and dominant is
sues are bound up with It. Without
that defeat every chance of the right

caucus over Mayor William xiale
Thompson of Chicago but ' probably
will lose the 17 Cook county (Chica

The first man In the convention to
sit on s tack, actually rather than po
Uiicilly, was a delegate from Arkan
sas, who found one In his chair. An
accommodating assistant sergeant at
arms removed It. The delegate told
his colleagues he had come to the
convention expecting a lively fight but
had not expected to be attacked from
the rear.
When delegates and the . othur
crowds here for the opening of the
republican national convention today
piled out of bed and scattered for
breakfast they faced a blistering hot
day, uncomfortably warm In the
morning hours and the temperature
climbing. The weather sharps had
predicted "generally galr, and not
much change In temperature" but the
crowds could not take that view.
Around the hotels a few barkers of
fered tickets to the convention at fab
ulous prices with few buyers. The
crowd was wise, knowing todays ses
sion would supply no excitement.
Delaware's tlx votes In the con
vention are expected o be cast on the

Coliseum, Chicago, June I. The re
publican convention met an hour late,
but disposing of preliminaries during
the first half hour, settled down to
hear the keynote speech by Senator
Lodge, temporary chairman.
Senator Lodge spoke from his man
uscript and as he read, it was assured,
that the first hour of the proceedings
and probably a little more would bo
devoted to it.
The temporary organisation was
quickly perfected by acclamation.
Organization May Stand.
The general understanding was thai
an agreement would be madtt to ac
cept the temporary organization anil
chairman as the permanent one, thus
continuing the gavel in the hand ot
Senator Lodge. Chairman Lodge's ad
dress was punctuated by cheering and
applause and most loudly when he re
ferred to th republican party of 1S6S
and declared It must again come for
ward for a like service to the country.
Roars of cheers and continued ap
plause marked Chairman Dodge's dec
laration that every one connected Willi
"the dynasty of Woodrow Wilson must
be driven from power." Henntor
Lodge continued that they must be
driven out "not bacause they are dem
ocrats, but because Mr. Wilson's theo
ry of government is not American."
Bryan In Press Bus.
Wlltiiim Jennings Ilryan from his
sesit on the press stand listened Intent
ly to Eenator Lodge's hot denunciation
of "Mr. Wilson and his associates"
who he declared had "attempted to
drag us from the path of Wanhlngton
Llncoln and Itoosevei."
Mr. Bryan stroke his Whin thought
fully ; but maintained a poker face
throughout, .
. There was another wave of laughter
and applause when Senator Lodge re
ferred to president Wilson as "a demo
cratic free trader with socialistic proclivities."
Hun Government

Berlin, June 8. The government
today tendered Its resignation to pres
