"Dealers in White House Occupants," Says Charles Edward Russell No Very Good Reason Why They Should Choose Possible Chief Executive. UY CHAS. EDWARD ItUSSBLL (Copyrlgfit 1910 by .N. K. A.) CHICAGO, Juno 7. Hero are some facts about thin convention business that seem rather queer whnn the av urage Ajncrlcan comes to look at them pquaro In the face. They arc not the kind ot things you would find tn a convention report and yet they aro tho rntltles of tho situation and much more Important to ou than the a"' copied version you aro accustomed to read. Hither at Chicago this week or at St. Louis next week tho noxt presi dent of tho Uultod States Is to be named. Now nominally tho choosing will bo done by n convention of more than 1000 dologates sent on by tho stntos and territories for that purpose. Ah a matter of cold fact, tho choos ing here will bo done by a group of men most of whom bavo no kind of authority from any part of tho people to choose, anything except a placo for tliolr own retirement. In this rospect this convention Is not different from others boforo It, but the wholo nation is In the habit ot taking- the nominal Instead of tho real performanco of such bodies, and this tliuo I am In favor of sticking to the real. Who Aiv the llossos Tot only will this group of unau thorized pontlemcn decide who Is to bo tho candidate, but If you study up their careors or seek Interviews with thorn, you will ho filled with wonder that fato or chanco over put into their hands tho power to decldo nn thing from an Intelligent people Let us be perfectly fair. No doubt these aro good enough men In tholr way and all that, hut when It comes to choosing a posslblo chief magis tral for tho greatest country on earth, you can't find any very satis fying reason why they should get the Job. As for Instance: .WIMilAM 11AHNKS, JR., of New York, long known as the boss of that Htato, and without othor claim to dis tinction. Ho entries with him tho Hoot boom what thoro Is of it. Hut ho doosn't have to pay o.tra baggage on It. W. II. McKIXI.KY, formerly a member of congross, denounced by men of progressive minds as ono of tho most extromo reactionaries In tho United Stntos.

"JIM" WATSON, of Indiana, once !u congress, a prominent figure In tho Mulhall reflations about tho Na tional Asoelallon of Manufacturers. He and Joo Koaling own mo Fair banks boom.

At any rate he appears hero as the owner of the Hughos boom, and in spite of the denials of the poor Justlee's secretary, gets away with it which is all that Is required. 'ltKISD S.MOOT, of Utah, Unltod States senator, a parliamentarian ot reat ability, not In charge of an) boom, hut consulted beeauso he knows more than any of the rest and can soe beyond the boundaries of his own county, which it indeed a gift. (HOIKS PKNItOSE, United States senator from Pennsylvania. You oould tell more about Mr. Pendose's qualifications as a statesman If he oc oaslonally honored the senate with Ills presence Rut as ho is seon there not more than three or four times la a sseion and heard even when he is seen, there wight be a lot of guess work about where he gets off when it comes to statemaushlp. He doesn't own any boom and doesn't have to He owns the biggest nrt f te l'enn Wlvania delegation, 7 votes. nd tfcafs better than nlao-tonths of the booms. Also he is not her es on might sojourn at a health resort, and his decision, when It Is made, will be fcuod or reasons of solid advantage Political Kxoluingo Jit side these.

With a plea for party reunion, for roconsocrntlon rnthor than recrimination, United Statos Sonator Wnrren O. Harding, of Ohio, In his addresb as tomponiry chairman ojionod tho Republican Na tional convention here today. As sorting that the country was "wear- led afresh by a disappointing and distressing democratic administra tion," and was calling for republi can rollof the spuakor, boforo under taking to discuss political Issuos, ap pealed to tho delegates to forgot tho differences which divided tho party in 1912. Referring to tho administration's foreign policy In tho Kuropoan wor Senator Harding declared thnt It had spoken with moro rhetoric than res olution. Mexican negotiations ho de scribed as tho greatest fltiHco In Am erican foreign relations. Ho paid tribute to Americanism of foreign birth with brief reference to tho fow zealots who would impugn: tho na tion's neutrality and urgod n frater nity of American republics under tho Monroe doctrine. Advocating ado quato national defense he charged tho democratic party with having intur ruptod republican naval construc tion and ho critlcisod tho army reor ganization bill. He ulso attacked the administration shipping bill, tho ef fort mndo to oxtend Independence to tho Philippine., and mado n plon for a return to tho protective tariff. "Wo did very well In making for harmony tho last tlmo we met," the chairman said In his apopal for har mony. "Tho country has rogrotted, let us forgot and mako amends to our country. Wo did not divide over fundamental principles, we did not disagree over a national policy. Wo split over methods of party procedure and preforrod personalities. Lot us forgot tho differences, and find new Inspiration and now compensation In an unltod endeavor to restore the country, "Republican principles aro in a vast majority In this country when the banners of harmony aro unfurled, Wo have witnessed the oomehaek of our party In various states. We have nominate Colonel Hooovolt, and the gentlemen that own tho DuPont, Cummins and othor booms and boom lets will insist that they shall not be overlooked when things come to the Rialto. Hut the abovo mentioned will be the chief merchants or the oeeaslou and it is safe to say their prwodlags will be highly important. JSarh of them would scorn the charge that they are conducting a Political Traders' Kxchange. They and theii kind at all conventions hava always scorned that. Hut aHyway, thoy are going to decide this puatle as here Indicated; and the way they decldo It will go for the nation. 31 s a B u WHYshould'nt you yet a lot of satisfaction out of the OWL?
