By EDMUND C. TAYLOR ,
Euenlno Ltiotr Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, June 6. The Pennsyhanla
delegation arrived here today, filled with the
Idea that Philander C. Knox was the
"logical" candidate of the Republican party
thin year.
Tho special train that carried tho majority
of tho delegntcs from the Keystone State
brought to Chicago a wo,ll-dcflned and en
thusiastically concehed plan to present the
name of Pennsylvania's harmony candidate
for tho United States Senate to tho conven
tion at a time when It will have the greatest
weight.
Tho delegates' special carried mostly Pen
rose supporters. They declared before
their arrival thnt tho "ways have been
greased" for a unnnlmous vote for Knox,
when Pennsylvania li reached on the roll
call of States next Friday
CLAIMS ALL VOTES.
According to the Ponrose delegates who
came to Chicago on the "Convention Spe
cial" that left Broad Street Station In
Philadelphia at 10. 2D yesterday morning,
tho Brumbaugh forces nlready have bowed
to tho will of tho "majority" nnd have
agreed to "run along" with the Penrose
delegates and cast tho entire 7G votes from
Pennsylvania for Knox.
Tha plan of procedure, as outlined by tho
Penrose delegates, Is to have Georgia or
somo other Stato well up on the list give
way to Pennsylvania when tho roll t
States Is called on Friday, and Emerson
Collins, of Wllllnmsport, will place Govern
or Brumbaugh In nomination.
SHIFT FROM BRUMBAUGH.
Then, according to the leaders of the
Penrose delegates who have been dickering
with the Brumbaugh leaders during the laRt
few days, approximately 23 votes will bo
cast for Brumbaugh from the Keystone
State delegation nnd then Pennsylvania
will wait until Its regular turn In rollcall
beford It places Knox In nomination.
This plan was agreed upon last Saturday
at the Philadelphia Ball Park. Senator
McNichol had among his guests at the
game Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown and William If Ball, secretary to
the Governor. Senator McNichol Is au
thority for the statement that the Brum
baugh delegates will support Knox after
they hae presented the Governor's namo.
The Attorney General agreed to this plan.
Senator McNichol said, after the Attorney
General had agreed to switch the Brum
baugh delegates Into line. Ex-Senator
Knox, who was another of Senator Mc
Nlehol'n guests, was called over and he
and Brown claspe'. hands, according to
the story told by Sonator McNichol.
AGREEMENT REACHED.
"Senator Knox, Attorney General Brown
and Air. Ball were my guests nt the ball
game Saturday," said Senator McNichol.
"I asked tho Attorney General If he did
not think Senator Knox was the most
logical candidate the Pennsylvania dele
gates could support. He agreed to the plan
outlined and then he and Senator Knox
shook hands."
"Wo will know where we stand when
we count the noses tonight," said Attorney
General Francis Shunk Brown, discussing
the statement made early today by Stato
Senator James P. McNichol, that tho Brum
baugh delegates have agreed to abandon
the Governor's candidacy and vote with
the rest of the Pennsylvania delfgatlon for
Philander C. Knox.
According to Senator McNIchol's state
ment the Attorney General agreed at the
Philadelphia Ball Park last Saturday to
swing tho Brumbaugh delegates to Knox.
Senator McNichol said that he had staged
the "harmony" conference, and that he,
the Attorney General and William II. Ball,
secretary to Governor Brumbaugh, had
come to the agreement between- innings.
The Attorney General does not deny that
an agreement has been reached and that
the Brumbaugh boom will be permitted to
come to an early end when the Pennsylva.
nla delegates get together.
"What really happened at the baseball
park was this," said Mr. Brown. "Mr. Ball
and myself were sitting In a box adjoining
that of Senator McNichol. Mr. Knox was In
another box and between innings Senntor
McNichol came over to us and started to
talk about nothing In particular.
"ALL FOR KNOX."
Mr Knox then came over to us, and
Senator McNichol Bald:
"'We're all for Knox for President,
aren't we?"' I answered yes,
"But, Mr. Brown, is it true that the
Brumbaugh candidacy will not be pushed?''
hu was asked. He then asked the ques
tioner to wait until "noses were counted"
at the caucus of the Brumbaugh delegates
tonight.
Tha Brumbaugh delegation arrived
shortly before noon, three hours after the
Penrose delegates reached Chicago on their
special train.
The spirit of the entire Pennsylvania dele
gation, apparently, Is for Knox, with a few
scattering exceptions. Roosevelt will prob
ably have (slx and Hughes about the same
number of votes on the early balloting.
The Brumbaugh leaders have finally real,
lied that they would be able to make only
a discreditable showing If they should at
tempt to stick to the Governor's candidacy.
The delegates from other States consider
It only an unsuccessful attempt at a
"favorite son1' movement and do not regard
It at all seriously, It has had only one
effect and that la thfst The Brumbaugh
movement has kept Senator Penrose from
being permitted to sit in all of the confabs
of the Old Guard leaders who control kolid
delegations.
The Governor went to his headquarters
on the second floor of the Congress Hotel
as soon as he arrived and afterward con,
ferred for a. . short time wljh Attorney
General Brown, Congressman William B.
Vara and Paul N. Furman, who la in charge
of the gaily decorated Brumbaugh head
quarters,
It was announced In the Brumbaugh
camp after this conference that the Gover
nor will not be a candidate for chairman
of the delegation when the delegates caucus
tomorrow afternoon.
NAME WILL BB PRESENTED,
The Governor's name will be presented as
a. candidate for (he presidency at the con
ventiorf, .however. Ha w(lt receive probably
25 votes and the Brumbaugh delegates then
will switch, to Knox.

Cutting to "Irreducible Mini
mum" in Words
Ry E. R, SARTWELL
CHICAGO, June 6 "Stop murder In
Mexico" loomed up today as the possible
big slogan for the Itepubllcnn fight for the
presidency next fall. The Mcxlcon plank
of the Republican Nnllotinl platform be
came the centre of the fight over party
declaration of faith, and Senator Albert 1)
Fall, ot Now Mexico, took charge of the
campaign for a "vlrilo, vigorous Rcpubll
man Mexican policy."
Senator Fall, who for months lias been
the lender of the opposition to President
Wilson's course In Mexico, enmo to unicago
with half a dozen tentative drnfts of a
Mexican plank Conferences of prospec
tive members of the Convention Resolutions
Committee with Senator Fall today re
viewed those declarations, and the Senntor
declared Inter thnt ho was confident that
tho Mexican ilcclnrntlon would furnish the
real Isiuo for the fall campaign He placed
nt tho disposal of tho Resolution Committee
nil of his Information regarding tho Wilson
Mexican policy gained through personal
Investigation on the border and through
the nctlvltles of his own "secret service"
In Mexico
"Tho Administration's policy In Mexico
cannot bo defended." said Senator Fnll to
day. "Both the Republicans nnd Democrats
probably will agree to a largo extent on
the Issues Involving tho Uuropenn war,
preparedness and other questions of tho
day. Conditions In the country have just
about eliminated the tariff bb a possiblo
lisue. In this situation It is apparent to
me that tho time has come for the Re
publican party to make Its fight on the
Isiue of protecting the lives and property of
Americans In Mexico, vvhero tho WH'son
Administration has abandoned our citizen-)
to death and their property to destruction "
FEW PLANKS URGED.
A serious campaign to revolutionize
platform declarations gained considerable
momentum today. A group of delegates
declared for cutting down tho platform to
nn "Irreducible minimum" In words. They
asserted that tho party could best put it
self on iccord by concentrating on five or
six planks expressed briefly and concisely.
They suggested limiting the declaration
to an "Americanism, preparedness, tne
tariff, Mexico and peace," with a possible
general plank attacking the Administra
tion for Its "unbusinesslike" conduct of the
affairs of the Government. Members of the
Resolutions Committee said, however, that
the pressure of numerous nnd various
planks would prove too strong nnd declared
that, while the platform would be brief, It
would not be radically edited
Two more or less complete tentative
platforms put In an appearance today.
One waB nn "Old Guard" document,
framed and circulated by Guardsman Mur
ray Crane, of Massachusetts. Tho other
was a Progressive .Republican platform,
framed by Progressive Republican mem
bers of Congress In Washington and
brought to Chicago by Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa. Senator Borah, of Idaho, was re
sponsible for a large part of the Washing
ton platform, and Its provisions entered
largely Into harmony negotiations between
Old Guard nnd Progressive leaders today
The platform Is to be made the basis of
"trading" If the Old Guard leaders can con
vince the Progressives that concessions In
the platform are worth trading for.
Tho goneral provisions of tho big planks,
as now In the process of formation, would
declare:
"That the party believes In a virile
Americanism,' fostered by the protection of
American rights throughout the world.
"That tho party Is for 'peace with honor,'
but not for 'peace at any price.'
"That tho party has renewed faith in
the protective tariff system, favors a non
partisan tariff commission and deplores the
effects of the Underwood tariff law.
'That the country should prepare for pos
sible war by building the navy back Into
second rank among world Powers, and by
following the Army War College plans for
the army."
Tho preparedness plank will probably ad
vocato universal military training.
The plank criticising the Administration's
conduct of the business fat the Government
will be directed principally at the adminis
tration of the rostofflco Department and
at the "pork barrel" appropriations of the
Democratic Congress,

"Only two of the contestants showed up,"
explained M. II. Broyleau, of Houston,

from this city.
In tho convention city we will Join in our

a aaa Kif..M ........ w.nstrfAv Afternoon.
to show the Republican delegates that tne
voice of tho franchlso desired is of no one
section or State, so far bb the women or
the country are concerned. In Chicago,
we will confer tomorrow, with our national'
leaders, Mrs. Carrio Chapman Catt, presi
dent, nnd Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honor-
. i.f - . v.,fflol Wnmntl HUf-
frogo Association. Instructed concerning the
part we are to take, we will bo ready for
our greatest natlonnl demonstration, ijna,
ere long, will roturn to our home State
knowing thnt It is, or wondering whether
the Republican party .l truly great as
represented by Its national delegates, or
whether It is "Just a party."
Our Journoy to Chicago Is In no sense of
tho word a Junket. It follows years of
tho most earnest effort nnd nrduoua ac
tivities by women throughout tho country.
It means sacrifices and discomforts. BUt
It Is necessary for us to show our numbers.
Political parties, we have loomed, respect
numbers nnd we demand respect, for our
goal Is tho gon.l for which men strove not
so many decades ago.
Wo have sot our faces toward equality
MiiMni.i.. -uta ,iAirn nnt nnlv the rlcht
of suffrage; we nre ready for Its respons
ibilities, for wo would be complete citizens.
We havo labored through tho years we
thought necessary for tho dissemination of
our propaganda. We endeavored to show
men that women do deslro a olco In tho
Govornmont that governs them. Wo bo
llovo we have accomplished this. Truly,
now IS the time when men. realizing the
Justice of our typically American, appeal,
should fight with us for the right rather
than ngalnst us.
Ours is tho growing conviction that the
tlmo Is nt hand when the truly great
political party nnd tho truly great leaders
will take up our cause, voluntarily, and
not permit nny agency, any Interest or any
group of politicians to keep suffrago from
the thousands of typical, progressive, home
loving women who deBlre to cxorclso their
citizenship rights.
Wo go to Chicago tho more conservative
body, tho followers ot tho National Wpnian
Suffrage Association not to threaten, not
to cajole, but as women standing In the
open, American women demanding Justice,
,i.. i. .!,.,. Aunllfv nn frAnuentlV
preached by those who will make up the
National liepuDlican uonveniioii.
When one thinks of the struggle of those
pioneers who sought freedom and equality
nnd remembers that this Is freo America,
it seems strange that half Its free-born
citizens Bhould flrid It necessary to travel
so far to appear beforo a political conven
tion to. ask fpr full cltlnensblp, ,Yet It Is
so and so wo go.
Our Pennsylvania suffraglBts fought tholr
fight last November and found rpore than
38rf,000 men In favor of the baslo Justice
wo ndvocated. We have the men of the
West giving women the highest and most
complete standing possible before the bar of
true Americanism. Are tho men of the
East different? Certainly the women of tho
East aro Just ob earnest, Just ns good wives
and Just as good mothers as those of the
West.
We are soon on our way to Chicago,
hopeful that the Republican delegates from
Pennsylvania Will bo the first to advocate
and support our cause. If we find we can
not have faith In our political leaders we
will return to our Stnto with our faith In
tho Individual voter unchanged.

of having control, but not knowing what to
do with the control.
One counter-suggestion advanced by the
uncompromising Progressive group waa for
the Republicans to go ahead and nominate
Hughes and the Progressives to choose
Roosevelt. Then, If the acceptance state
ment by Hughes sufficiently supports the
Rooseveltlan brand of preparedness and
Americanism, It Is figured Colonel Roosevelt
will withdraw acceptance of the Progressive
nomination and throw support to the Jus
tice. It was pointed out today that the
Colonel has all along maintained that he
was fighting for a certain set of principles;
that In his 3t. Louis speech, for Instance,
he fcald he accepted support solely In the
knowledge that this support came through
the approval of the principles for which he
stood and not necessarily of approval of
him personally.
Virtually all leaders Republican and
Progressive have about given Up hope of
penetrating Justice Hughes' alienee before
the; balloting -comes In the Republican meet
ing. The allies' hope for defeating him in
the balloting comes through a belief that If
the rollcall can be prolonged through half
a dozen or more times, the Justice might
formally withdraw.
It developed today that the Fairbanks
representatives are playing the vice presi
dential game clear across the board. Th
Root lieutenants let It be known that they
have been approached on the question of
whether the Indiana statesman would be
acceptable as a running mate, and had
acquiesced; the Hughes forces, it was as

A great crisis In our country's affairs
Is at hand.
As goes the next four years at
Washington so goes the next fi years..
with our nation.
Broad patriotism and sterling Amer
icanism bre the watchwords.
PLAN TO MARK TIME.
All Progressive leaders today were con
sidering the latest plan proposed for the
course to bo followed by the Progressive
Convention. This plan Is that the name of
Colonel Roosevelt be placed In nomination
as -quickly as the convention Is opened. No
vote would be taken. The convention would
mark time until word was received as to
what action would be taken by the Re
publican Convention. If the Republicans
nominated the Colonel the Progressives
would then rush tho vote on Roosevelt In
their convention and ratify the action of
the older party.
A great deal of difference has arisen,
however, over the course to be followed in
the event that the Republicans choose
Hughes. The. majority of the Progressives
and that Is known to Include E. A, Van
Valkenburg. of Philadelphia, and William
Flynn, of Pittsburgh believe that the Proi
gresslyes should take no action until Jus
tice Hughes has made an acceptance state
ment. They would have Colonel Roosevelt
pass on the statement himself. If the
former President decides that Hughes
showed by statement that he was a strong
enough advocate of real preparedness, then,
the Colonel' name would be withdrawn,
and Hughes put up and quickly nominated
by the Progressives.
'PINqHQT FIRM FOR TtQQSEVELT.
In this connection a Word Pinchot, ardent
Progressive, mad )t, plain that Justice
Hughes would not be acceptable, to him as
Ions' as he maintained his present attitude
of silence. '
"I balUve." Mr. Pinchot said, "that'th
welfare o( the country demands that Theo
dore. Roosevelt be nominated by both con
ventions," 'Would any other candidate named by
the Republicans be acceptabUT" he was
asked.
"Before I cau accept lb candidacy of
any man J mut know where he stands." .
"Will Cqlonel Roosevelt be nominated by
the ProgrtssW party regardless of what Is
dons by tbe Republican convention?"
