i
I'asia
COLISEUM,- CHICAGO, Juno 7. Only Theodore Koosovelt enn prevent
the placing in the field of a Republican national ticket nnd a Progressive one for
the coming campaign.
If the- nllcgcd threat sent to the Republican leaders today that in no cir
cumstances would he support Justice Hughes if the latter is tho Republican
nominee, expresses the actual feelings of tho Colonel, then the Republicans will
nominate the Justice nnd demand that he sacrifice himself to hiB party, and will
make tho fight regardless of consequences.
When the conventions of the Progressive and Republican parties met hero
today this was tho attitude of the men who hold the reins.
The weather, raw and wet, has seemed to cast its spell of dampness over
the" assembled hosts.
The- managers of the Progressive party have accepted the fact, that thoy
cannot put over Colonel Roosevelt. '
The Republican Old Guard, who have plenty of delegates to keep the Colonel
from carrying off the nomination, but far, far from enough to select any one
of their choice, lack harmony. So do tho men who finance tho Progressive party.
BORAH EXPECTS COLONEL TO BACK HUGHES.
Close friends of Borah said ho expected the eventual support of Roosevelt
for Justice Hughes. ;
It may be two or three days before the program can bo arranged. Mean
while the leaders of both sides will have the conventions "mark time."
Reports that Justico Hughes had sent a telegram to Frank Hitchcock nnd
'another to Senator Borah announcing that unless he was tho choice of both
the Republican and Progressive conventions ho would not accept the nomination
were circulated in tho hotel corridors as tho delegates started out through the
rain for the halls. There was no foundation for theso reports.
"SHOULD NOT BE TOO PROUD TO FIGHT."
It wasn't until Temporary Chairman Harding had gotten well along in his
keynote speech that the air really warmed up. The Ohioan drew the first old
fashioned hall-rocking spontaneous applause when he pleaded for a navy "that
, fears nono,,in tho world." Applause that lasted, through 'a minute of frenzied
cheers greeted his declaration that the United States should "not bo torfproud
"to fight."
The Republicans convened without any sign of any sort of agreement on
tho candidate .whom thoy will select. It was still Hughes 'and Rodsovelt and
v B.urton' and Fairbanks, ,and all the rest, with nobody knowing exactly what would
happen.'
EYES ON BULL MOOSE CONVENTION.
There was no doubt that the convention was mightily interested in what
Was happening and about to happen at the Auditorium, where those who broke'
the bonds four years ago were holding conference.
That there would be an attempt for a "get together" meeting of committees
,of both conventions was certain. .At least one resolution was to be introduced
suggesting a combination of interests. This was tho one fathered by the New
Jersey delegation asking that a committee be appointed to advise tho Pro
gressives as to tho Republicans' plan for a platform. This is tho scheme 'ad
vanced by Edward C. Brennan, of Jersey City.

LEADERS NOT PREPARED
T6 PREDICT 'FIGHT OR FROLIC
AS CONVENTION OPENS
r
li
CHICAGO COLISEUM, t Juno 7. The
1916 Republican convention today la an
actuality, Itfj routine of organization was
carried out with a precision 'in no way dis
turbed by the fact that hot even the leaders
were prepared to forecast whether It was
to end In a "fight or a frolic." It was a
Republican convention, the leaders said,
and under no circumstances would control
of It be surrendered to any other party.
"Peace with regularity or war even though
It means defeat" was. the war slogan of the
"Old Guard." And they had "counted noses"
and had the votes to keep control, even
though they could not unite them on any
single candidate.
The convention was called to order at
11:27 by Chairman Charles D. Hllles, of the
Republican National Committee. At that
hour nearly every delegate was In his seat,
while the galleries were filled to suffocation.
The first slogan of the convention came
from the lips of National Chairman Charles
D. Hllles, who, after the convention had
become an orderly gathering, made the fol
lowing announcement;
Paraphrasing a remark of the late
President MeKinley, "this Is a year
when politics Is patriotism and pai
trlotlsm is politics." Therefore, the
audience will arise and sing two verses
of, "America."
TUB INVOCATION.
Following the singing. Charlman Hllles
introduced the Rev. John Timothy Stone,
of Chicago, who offered the opening
prayer as follows:
Most Holy and Eternal God, we bow
before Thee with reverent hearts and
thOUKhtful minds. Thnll art mm Cln.i .
Thou art the God of all nations; Thou
art the God of our nation. Thou hast
been the Ood of our fathers. Thou hast
been our God In times of peace, amid
the perplexities of war. Thou hast
liven to us freedom, liberty, purpose
and prosperity.
Although the Immediate Interests
which now control our gathering to
gether have reference to our owrt na.
ttonal issues, we would not forget the
warring, suffering nations of the earth.
Pray Thee to bring them speedily.
If It be Thy holy will, to terms of peace
and conditions of adjustments.
We bow before Thee and pausing
auletly ask Thy blessing before enter,

yentlon. As Thou dost order the af
fairs of men, so frame the doings of

CHICAGO, June 7. We, the suffragists
of Pennsylvania and of the United States,
will bear our appeal for a woman suffrage
plank In the Republican national platform
today to the Coliseum.
Conferring at the Princess Theatre are
suffragists from every .State in the Union
and the national executive board members.
They voted unanimously to have their great
parade with the woman's liberty bell. Our
Pennsylvania delegation. Including the
women from Philadelphia under the leader
ship of Mrs. George A. Dunning, were, a
unit in their desire to march with the
woman's liberty bell, now mounted on an
automobile truck decorated with the na
tional and suffrage colors.
We are still more than hopeful, almost
confident, that he Republican convention
will indorse our suffrage cause by a' plank
In Its platform.
Of -immediate interest is the plan. an.
nounced through our delegation, that Penn
sylvania suffragists will offer to the na.
tional body a national suffrage flag. This
has been designed by Mrs. L. Oscar Kleber.
of Pittsburgh, and It will be the work of
the best needlewomen In the suffrage ranks
to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the coun
ties of Pennsylvania,
It will be used first upon the admission
.of the 13th State to full suffrage. If the
final returns from Iowa show victory t,he
banner will be completed immediately -upon
the return of the I'ennsylvonlans.
The flag wlt have 13 alternate white and
yellow stripes, a starto be added for each
auffraira State in a red field.
Women from other States are enthusiastic
over the Pennsylvania plan and announce
they will make similar flags for their States.

LONDON, June 7. The body of
Colonel O. A. Fitzgerald, military sec
retary" to Lord Kitchener, who was
drowned with Lord Kitchener, has been
recovered, according to a dispatch to
the Express.
LONDON, June 7. Premier Asquith
will act as Secretary of State for War
until a successor to Lord Kitchener is
appointed, it was officially announced
today.
LONDON, June 7. The entire British
Empire Is in mourning today for Lord
Kitchener, late Secretary of State for "War,
who, with his staff, was drowned off the
Scottish coast when thecrulsor Hampshire
was destroyed by a mine or torpedoed on
Monday night.
From the four quarters of the globe
messages of condolence are pouring Into
London.
It Is likely that a great memorial service
will be held In St, Paul's or Westminster
Abbey, to be' nttended by King George and
representatives of the Llllea governments.
There was a cabinet meeting this morning
to discuss the situation brought about by
the sudden death of the War Secretary,
upon whose shoulders was borne the burden
of conducting tl?e military establishment of
the empire.
Flags are nt half mast everywhere..
Silent., thrones filled the streets discussing
the tragedy.
Despite the- Secrecy attending the visit
of Lord. Kitchener to Ttussia, the belief is
growing that the German Admiralty was
nptluea or me proposea inp oy a spy ana
that the Hampshire was blown up through
some agency of G.ermany, perhaps a sub
marine. A marked stimulus to recruiting today
the last day under the voluntary group
system and a general demand" for tho
Internment of all enemy aliens Jn Great
Britain, regardless of age. sex or naturali
zation, are the Immediate resultants of the
death of Kitchener,
The question of Lord Kitchener's suc
cessor is one "of the chief topics. The
three names most conspicuously mentioned
are those of Sir William Robertson, Chief
of Staff of the British army, who was
designated as Acting War Secretary in
the absence of Lord Kitchener; David
Lloyd-Oeorge, the minuter of munitions,
and Lord Derby, who was put in charge
of the recruiting when that burden was
taken away from the War Office.
Despite the power and prestige of Kitch
ener his death will have nq effect upon
the military situation of England, It Is
declared in official .circles. The Empire
will continue to battle as vigorously as
ever against, the enemy, nut it Is evident
from the attitude of the press and the
public that a feeling ojf deep 4epressipn has
followed.
The newspapers all eulogize Kitchener,

CHICAGO, Juno 7. The speech of Sen
ator Harding, temporary chairman of the
Republican National' Convention, was as
follows :
Oenftemcn o the Convention:
It Is good to greet this representative
body of that American Republicanism on
which Is centred tho high hopes of tho. re
public. I can believe nay, I know that
n vast majority of the pcoplo of our United
States Is expecting the party sponsors here
assembled ,to write nnew the sacred coven
ant of Republicanism, and reconsecrate the
party to the nation's service and tho peo
ple's advancement. That ,samo majority
expects you to select a standard-bearer
who shall1 not only typify our expression
of faith, but shall so enlist the confidence
and trust of our American citizenship that
the work of this convention will be con
firmed overwhelmingly at the ballot box
next November.
Tho country, wearied afresh by a dfs".
appointing and distressing Democratic ad
ministration, la calling for Republican re
lief nnd there Is every inspiration, every
encouragement, every confidence that the
light of Republican conscience, set aflame
In this convention, will Ulumlno the "way
to tho country's restoration.
LET US FORGET 1912.
We did not do very well In making for
harmony tho .last time we met Tho coun
try has' regretted, let us forget and" make
emends to our country. Wo did not divide
over -fundamental principles, we did not
disagree over a national policy. We split
over methods of. party proceedure and pre
ferred personalities. Let u forget the clif.
Terence, nnd find new Inspiration niul new
compensation In a united endeavor, to re
toret!o country.
The essential principles of Republicanism
'araT'nrichnngoS'Ttnd unchanging; the lofty
Intent, thjs" IndeitrUctlblo soul, and the Un
dying spirit gf Republicanism .are as
dominant today as In the destined begin
ning 60 years ago, or at any time during
the Intervening years and they are em
phasized 'today 'by the'jjf-oof recorded to
Republican credit In . the .matchless chap
ters of American progress.
PRINCIPLES ARE ABIDING,
No political parly ever has bulded or
ever can build permanently 'except, In con
scientious devotion to abiding principles.
Time never alters a fundamental truth.
Conditions do change, popular Interest Is
self-asserting, nnd "paramountlng" has Its
perils, as the Democratic party will bear
witness, but the essentials of constructive
government and attending1 progress afe
abiding and unchanging. For example, wo
ought to be as genuinely American today as
when the founding fatnera flung their Im- ,
mortal defiance In .the face of old-world
oppressions and dedicated a ney republio
to liberty and justice We ought to be as
prepared for defense as Washington urged
amid the anxieties of our national begin
ning, and Grant confirmed amlVd the calm
reflections of union restored,
PARTV SOLIDARITY,
Itl3 not my understanding, that the re
marks of the temporary chairman are to be
taken as an expression of the party faith.
Such expression must come from this con
vention, made up of delegates who believe
In popular, representative government
through the agency of political parties. You
come directly from the people, commissioned
to speak tlielr hopes and aspirations, to
utter their patriotic desires and pledge their
abiding faith. . Out, of the convictions and
Judgment and wisdom as expressed by the
majority will come the sacred and sincere
covenant of the Republican party.
We are a voluntary organization and
must find our strength in the enlistment of
volunteers who find the nearest or best
expresslon of their 'Individual conviction
In our party declaration's, and there can be
no treason In withdrawal If our declarations
fall short In their appeal. But I am old
fashioned enough to believe that In popular
government party suqeesa aVid party capac
ity for service to the nation must He In
making the wll of a righteous .majority the
willing pledge of all.
NO FORSWEARING REQUIRED.
Gentlemen of the convention, the first
and foremost wish In my mind la to say
that which wll contribute to harmony of
effort and add to the assurance of vlcr
lory next November- I wlah, that because:
we believe Republican success to be for
the best Interests of our common coun
try. The allied hosts q the believers in
Republican principles are In a vast ma
Jorlty of this country--when the banners
of harmony are unfurled. We have wit
nessed the comeback of pur party In va
rious States. We have seen, the re-enlist;
ment of those whq believe In Republican
doctrines, and victory has followed and
rejoicing has attended. No apology has
been asked, no forswearing required, Thtf
Is not the time for recrimination, it Is the
