Barnes, Penrose &. Co. "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. History reveals him
as chlofly barron of other achieve
nient. Ho holds In his hands the
frogllo Sherman boom.
"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.
MUURAY CRANK, of Massachu
setts, and formerly ot tho United
States senate, whero bo gained the
undying name of "Pussyfoot." I re
Bret to soy that I never hoard of his
doing nn thing else there. Il I
, manufacturer, unonnously rich, and
' the proprietor of tho Voks boom.
l'RANK HITCHCOCK, postmaster
gonoral in the Taft administration,
and without doubt an ablo politician,
llo doslres tho nomination of Justice
Hughes. 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

is seen, there wight be a lot of guess
work about where he gets off when
it comes to statemaushlp. He doesn't

HARDING
PLEADS
FOR PARTY UNION
OS
CHICAGO, Juno 7. 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.

A Timely Warning
ELEVEN well-known automobiles have advanced in price within the
last ninety days.
The Maxwell Company has not increased their prices."' '" We do
not know what their plans are, but we do know and you know that
materials entering into the construction of good automobiles now cost
from 20 to 300 per cent more than they did six months ago.
Nothing is to be gained by delay. Much may be lost.
Not only may you lose several dollars in the purchase price, but
you are sacrificing the enjoyment, the relaxation, the health-giving prop
erties everything, in fact, that makes motoring the favorite pastime of
the nation. '
We urge you to come in and investigate the Maxwell.
Or, we will refer you to any number of Maxwell owners and let
them tell you their own story in their own way.
They will tell you what they have told us. That the Maxwell is
good-looking that it is powerful that it i3 comfortable that it is
economical in short, that it is the best investment they ever made.
They will tell you more and they will tell you gladly and freely.
That's the way they feel toward us and the Maxwell Car.
Whatever you do, don't put this off. We have a few cars on hand
and can take orders for immediate or future delivery at present prices.
If you can't come in today, phone us for a Maxwell
