'ALFALFA BILL' MURRAY
RAPS HUGHES IN HOUSE
BECAUSE OF CANDIDACY
COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June 8. Justice "Charles Evans Hughes will be
'nominated by the Republican National Convention probably tomorrow, unless
George von L. Meyer, William Loeb,- Jr., and the Roosevelt Republicans can
ogreo on a Republican who can come with the support of Roosevelt. This was
decided on today at n conference of the Republican leaders, who are in absolute
control of the convention.
They decided that thero had been enough of "playing horse" with the Pro-
gressivo convention 'delegates. The radical element controls " that convention,
and it -was made very plain that Colonel Roosevelt himself realizes this.
The Republican leaders are convinced that Colonel Roosevelt will not be a
candidate on the Progressive ticket when the voters go to the polls next Novem
ber. On what they base this they will not say.
WAIT FOR SMOKE TO CLEAR AWAY.
But it is known that men of the calibre of Oscar S. Straus, who was the
candidate of the Moose for Governor of New York four years ago, havo made
' Justice Hughes their' second choice and will support him if they cannot put
Roosevelt across in the Republican convention. It will not be surprising if the
ktnen best known in the Progressive movement jire xound lined up in the Hughes
camp alter the smoKo ot battle clears away.
There was no disguising the hopefulness of the men in control of the Repub
lican convention today. They havo discounted any action that tho Progressive
convention may take, so fnr as nominations are concerned. The spirit of concilia
tion Is present, but it is a spirit of conciliation on a Republican basis only.
BULL MOOSE LEADERS LESS AGGRESSIVE.
The Progressive party leaders were less aggressive today than yesterday.
(They concede that they cannot prevent tho nomination of Colonel Roosevelt
by their own party. And they concede that Justice Charles E. Hughes now
has the lead as the Republican standard-bearer. But they declared they felt
certain that if tho Republican leaders would "bo reasonable" they would bo
fable to offer a solution before any action taken becomes so settled as to prevent
harmonious co-operation.
As a matter of fact, despite all that is being said about Roosevelt's plans
sto run when the Moose call comes, tho men who are managing the fight for
fhim declare positively that ho is not anxious to bo tho candidate even of a
reunited party unless ho can feel assured of the support of tho Old Guard
leaders and their followers.
CREDHNTIAI.S COMMITTEE BUSY.
The Republican convention had enough
real work on Its hands to get through the
:day without apparent, effort and at tho
same time permit the leaders to stay out
of (heir seats and keep up their seeking of
solution that will satisfy all hands.
The Credentials Committee had upheld
the Old Guard's temporary roll. The Organ-
Station Committee had to. make the tern
iorary organization permanent. And there
was In reserve all of the old timers ot tne
Dartr. the men who have fought Its battle
on the stump Blnce the days of Abraham
Lincoln, ready and anxious to let loose a
'flood ot oratory that might start the long
missing enthusiasm.
FALL READY FOR SPEECH.
f (senator Foil Plans a speech which will
demand that the party accept Roosevelt,
and he will have all the acaossorles to
make his demand spectacular and noose
veltlan in character,
. The dark horse supporters were viewing
the; situation today with great glee. They
felt hopeful. The names of many men, were
being bandied about by them. Were Sen.

would have a Bplendid chance to land trie

mere is a change in the situation, nis
friends have sounded out the Progressive
leaders. They have been toid that so far as
Borah is concerned, he would be "much
lesa objectionable to the Progressiva party"
than Would Justice Huehes. But that Is as
I far as things have gone.

Oklahoma Man Assails Justice
for Permitting His Name to
Remain on List of
Possibilities
SEES BLOW TO COURT
WASHINGTON. June 8.
The fact that Justice Hughes has per
mitted his name to be used as a possible
presidential nominee without protest was
attacked In tho House today by Representa
tive Murray, of Oklahoma, Murray quoted
James Bryce, declaring that when the judi
ciary of America becomes corrupt "the
nation Is In Its last stage of decadence,"
"True enough," Representative Murray
said, "Mr, Justice Hughes has been remark
ably and commendably quiet until the eve
of the Republican National Convention,
when he took occasion to pronounce a eulogy
of the American flag which would have been
passed unnoticed at any other time, but his
friends immediately pronounced it a 'key
note speech for the natlqn's and f a man's
real character and motives cannot be ascer
tained from the statement and Judgment
of his friends, to whom can we look for the
truth -of his purpose and motives? I do
not wish to be understood now as Inveighing
against his nomination nor to consider the
wisdom of electing Mr. Justice Hughes to
the presidency. I will agree that, should
he receive the nomination, the contest be
tween him and the Democratic nominee,
Woodrow Wilson, would be like pitting
classic Roman against classic Greek, The
acme of literary taste in American politics
wpuld certainly be realized in the campaign
speeches of the two contestants in their use
of pure diction, rhetoric and classic
learning.
"But such nomination, to say the least,
brings to our mind the fear that such a
course would be too often attempted.
"Suppose our years hence an agitation
Is started to nominate Justice Louis D,
Brandela. does any one douot the spasms,
into which certain Interests would be
thrown? Every man who opposed his con
firmation by the Senate would, immediately
begin to cry that It meant the dragging
f the- judiciary into the political mure, and
it -yvould la true.

RUSSIANS OPEN
DRIVE OF ALLIES
ONFALL EJtom
General Attack Sweeps Aus-
trians' Lines in Bukowina
and Volhynia
40,900 TEUTON CAPTIVES
Indications multiply that the much'
heralded "drive" vof the Allies on all
fronts is about to begin. Cable dis
patches and private advices have fore
cast this long-delayed development of
the great war, and June has been men
tioned frequently as the time.
It has been said, apparently with
nuthority, that the Russian would open
the ball with a general attack along
tho East front. Tho beginnings of
that movement are reported in today s
dispatches, which show sweeping suc
cesses for tho Russian arms in
Bukowina.
That the Germans have had fore
knowledge of tho intentions of their
enemies is probable, and it is equally
likely that tho recent increased ef
forts of the Central Powers on all
fronts is merely tho Teuton method of
meeting and checking such a drive.
PETROGRAD. June 8 Russian troops,
In their offensive on a front of more than
250 miles, from le Prlpet marshes to the
Rumanian border, nave captured up to
Tuesday noon 40,900 .prisoners, according
to the official announcement issued yes
terday. Of these captives, 900 are officers.
In addition the Russians captured 77 can
non, 13 machine guns, 4.9 trench mortars
and much field paraphernalia.
Only meagre details of this new cam
paign of the Czar's forces under command
ot General Bruslloft are given In the of
ficial communication. But that the Rus
sians did not escape lightly In their
charges is shown by the reference to entire
battalions carrying their objective after all
their officers had fallen.

OYSTER BAY, Juno 8. Former Presi
dent Theodore Roosovelt will go to Chicago
and address tho Republican convention If
tho delegates request It Tho Colonel so
advised William B. Jackson, of Maryland,
one of the Republican delegates who sent a
personal invitation asking tho Colonel to
address tho, convention in the Interests of
harmony.
In his reply the Colonel referred to the
world crisis that exists at this time- and
made tho plea that the Republicans select
a man who "shall rise lovel to the crisis,"
or in other words keep America nt peace
and at tho samo time give her the proper
preparedness.
Speaking of President Wilson, the Colonel
declared "ho has rendered the people the
most evil service that can bo rendered to
a great democracy."
Colonel Roosovelt charged the President
with "dulling tho national conscience" and
"relaxing the spirit of lofty national motive
by teaching our people to accept high
sounding words as an offset and atonement
for shabby deeds."
The document, which was, Intended as a.
reply to the Jackson invitation, assumed the
proportions of a long statement and wft
'one of tho most; important political pro
nouncements of tho campaign.
Tho direct attack upon President Wilson
camo unexpectedly, although in recent
speeches tho Colonel has found fault with
the policies of tho Wilson Administration.
The Colonel attacked hyphenated citi
zens. He charged that even at this mo
ment persons of divided allegiance are try
ing to dictate to the Republican convention.
This was nn Indirect attack upon Jus
tice Hughes, for It has been said time after
tlm3 that his candidacy has been fostered
by German-American Interests.
Tho letter follows:
"In answer to your telegram I can only
say that the matter lies with the Republican
comentlon, and that 1f the convention de
sires mo to address it I shall be glad to
do so
"I very earnestly hope that the Repub
licans and Progressives assembled at Chi
cago will keep stcndlly In mind the gravity '
of this crisis, not only for America but
for the world and the need that their action
In dignity, foresight and patriotism shall

who can be elected next November, but a

conviction and proved ability, that if
