Jangled party. Tho shattered remnants of
tho vetoran Old Quard sobbed softly In

sons mado their final (loppings and flap
pings; thq rumormongers camo forth with
fresh Juicy rumors ovory hour.
The strategists extolled their own strat
egies and depreciated the activities of all
others except the Hughes men, who wore
Jubilant in a decorous and dignified man
ner, as befitted tho austerity of thotr can
didate. Tho ultimatums came fluttering
from tho mtlcographs In stern and uncom
promising multitude. Tho claimants made
their 'irrevocable claims, and It rained.
It rained and tho press agents were
Tery, very weary, Tho candidates clung
to their moldering polls and tho mgnt was
dark arid dreary. Moreover, last night was
tho end of a dreadful day, and today Is Just
as unpromising. For, to toll tho truth,
tho Republicans aro on tho verge of nomi
nating for President Mr. Justice Hughes, of
Washington, D. C, and gosh, how they
dread It
f COLONEL'S ItOLB.
.The versatilities of Colonel Theodore
Roosovelt aro so many that tho mere cata
logue of them would take a hand's breadth
Of spaco, but never In his varied career
k has ho appearod In a more adroitly con
' celved. Ingeniously developed or Impres
' elvely executed character than that ho Is
displaying vnow of "bogle man" for tho
j shattered and shivering Old Guard of tho
I Republican party.
, He has frightened them into a panto of
self-sacrifice for what ho has mado them
! do, and none knows It better than thoy do,
"as It will get them nothing, save tho slight
satisfaction of retaining sufficient' control
. of a convention they wero thrco years In
, putting together to refuso tho Colonel a
nomination;
This will bo a Pyrrhic victory that will
linger long In our political annals. They
havo sternly set their faces against tho
nomination of tho Colonel, but In order to
defeat that nomination they have acqui
esced In the nomination of Huglfes. If
they win they lose. They do not Intend to
allow themselves to be numuiaicu oy iait-'
Ing Roosevelt, which would bo a very great
humiliation. Indeed, from their vlowpolnt,
and in order to escape' that thoy expect to
put themselves at the'' mercy of a man
whoso record as a humlllator of machlno
politicians Is surpassed by fow.
NO FAITH IN MACHINE.
They aro doing It because thoy aro
scared, frightened over tho possibility of a
Roosevelt movement they might not be able
Jo stem. They are doing It because they
have no faith In the lasting qualities of
their elaborately constructed machine. They
aro dolne. It because they feel they havo no
other recourse. They are doing It because
of, all the candidates for this nomination
there have been only two who havo been of
calibre great enough to warrant consider
ation. They have two evils to choose from,
and they took a desperate chance.
They were In a panic all day yesterday
and are In a panic this morning, They
think they must hurry, else Roosevelt will
undo them. The sentiment for Hughes
that will enable them to get their men
together In suflleient number for the Jus
tice gives them their chance to escape the
"Bogie man." And thoy havo wavered
Into line behind the Justice. There is no
use waBtlng words over It. Tho Republican
leaders in this convention wero scared Into
consenting .to the nomination of Hughes.
And Roosevelt was the medium of their
scare.
NOTHING- FURTHER TO TRT.
There is talk here and there this morn.
Ing that the Old Guard may pluck up
enough courage to hold off a bit and try
for a combination on some other, but the
talk does not amount to much. It is hard
to teach an Old Guard new tricks. They
exhausted their little bag full In getting
this: convention together, and now they have
nothing further to try. It was a beautiful
machine they built, on paper, but they
never have been sure that it would work
when the power was turned on, and they
cannot escape the feeling that as soon as It
is running, Roosevelt will throw a monkey
wrench into it. So they intend to hurry,
use, the machine for Hughes and await re.
suits, hoping for the best, but expecting the
deplorable worst.
They do not know whether the Colonel
will' indorse Hughes or not. They are
afraid Tie will not; they are afraid the Pro
gressive convention will nominate Roose
velt, and this fear la well grounded. They
are afraid of a dozen other things, and one
of the chief of these is that Mr, Hughes
himself may step in and refuse what they
havo planned, to offer blm, unless they can
make It appear spontaneous and verging on
toff unanimous. t
Imaginative persons are rushing about
preaching and pointing out where combina
tions may be made to stop this. There is
v rumor of adhesions between favorite
mm. There are candidates proposed who
pro sure, their backers say, to have the
teni&l indorsement of Rosevelt. The most
faptaatlo of thesa U General Leonard
"Wood.
But the Old Guard Is through, ThU
morning they are disconsolately admitting
that JBughes la likely to be dominated. They
may chirk up and try to turn another trick,

Hughes Looks Like Republican

Name Governor Johnson
.BMMt-aHQMHB. "--
By EDMUND C. TAYLOR
Evening Lcdacr Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Juno 8. Another split be
tween tho Progressive and the Old Guard
Republicans Is Inevitable. Tho two conven
tions aro hending toward another break
that, whllo It will probably not equal that
of four years ngo In bitterness of feeling,
will divldo tho two elements nnd strengthen
tho candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.
Leaders of both parties frankly admit
that they seo no wny out of tho dilemma
that Is confronting them In their efforts to
bring about harmony.
Frnntlo last-hour efforts aro being mado
today to stavo off tho open break that be
enmo Imminent at tho Progressive conven
tion yesterday following the action taken
by the Pennsylvania Progressives nt their
caucus Tuesday night, at which they un
qualifiedly Indorsed Roosevelt, and wont on
rocord as favoring no one but Roosevelt.
A conference of tho leaders of both
parties has been arranged for lato this
afternoon. The result of this conference
will show whother or not there is any
chanco of harmony.
Tho conference was called last night by
Senator Ponrose after ho had been ablo to
work tho steam roller In tho opening ses
sion of tho Republican National Conven
tion nnd head off the naming of a con
ference committee. George W. Perkins, who
Is handling Colonel Roosovclt's campaign,
was ablo to force a postponement of the
proposed conference committee In tho Pro
gressive Convention.
PLAN TO GET TOGETHER.
Senator Penrose, Senator Smoot, William
Barnes, of New York, and Theodore Bur
ton, of Ohio, will bo among the leaders
who will look after tho affairs of the Old
Guard Republicans at tho conference. Per
kins will head tho Roosevelt men at tho
conference. Others who will attend In tho
Interest of tho Bull Moosers arc Gilford
Plnchot, E. A. Van Valkenburg, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodgo, Frank H. Hitchcock
nnd representatives of tho Oregon delega
tion, which, pledged to Hughes,' has taken
charge of tho Hughes campaign from Hitch
cock In a last-hour movo to make tho
Hughos boom appear to bo more than a
"one-man boom."
These men will get together, with the
possible nddltlon of one or two others, after
the morning session of the Republican con
ventlon, Tho fato of two conventions will
rest upon their conclusions.
The Republicans already aro on record
as opposing the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt by their convention and for tho
last 24 hours his defeat In the Republican
convention has been almost a foregone con
clusion. The wiseacres nnd political .leaders, who
havo weathered many national conventions,
predict today Uiat If Roosovelt Is not nom
inated by tho Republicans ho will not ac
cept a nomination from the Progressives.
Tho Progressives, according to their lead
ers today, aro considering nominating Gov
ernor Hiram Johnson, of California, if they
can hold the Roosovelt delegates In line
at their convention.
Tho situation, In other words, is as fol
lows: Tho Republicans will not nominate Theo.
dore Roosevelt.
A conference will be held late this aft
ernoon between tho leaders of the two
parties In an efTort to decide upon a har
mony candidate who will be acceptable to
both parties.
No matter what Perkins and the other
Roosevelt-Progressive leaders decide, they
cannot prevent tho nomination of Roose
velt or another man whom Roosevelt might
designate by the Progressives "at the
earliest possible moment."
Governor Hiram Johnson, of California,
has been selected as the second choice of
the Roosevelt Idolaters among the Progres
sives. He Is expected to be the Progres
sive nominee, since Perkins has been un
able to stifle the strongly pro-Roosevelt
sentiment In the Progressive Convention,
and force the Bull Moosers to wait until
after the Republicans act before they make
any nominations. Justice Hushes is ac
ceptable to some, but not to a majority
of the bolters.
It looks like Hughes will be the Repub
lican nominee, ft he Is nominated by the
Republicans there will be three tickets in
the field, Hughes will be at the head of
one, Johnson the second, and Wilson the
third.
Senator Penrose, while he was at the
apartments of Perkins in the Blacks tone
Hotel, accompanied by Senator Lodge,
served notice upon Roosevelt over the ionz.
'distance telephone to Oyster Bay yesterday
that the Republicans, will not give the
Colonel the nomination.
A report reached Chicago soon afterwards
that Roosovelt had left Oyster Bay and
given up his 19 a minute telephone and
was on his way to Chicago to break into
the two conventions. This could not be
verified.
No matter what action is taken by the
Republicans, however, outside of the actual
nomination of Roosevelt, a majority of the
Progressives, led by William Flynn, of
Pittsburgh, and the entire Pennsylvania
delegation, will "bolt" and will place their
own nominee In the field against both
Wilson and the nominee of the Republicans.
PENROSE PRAISES KEYNOTE.
Senator Penrose has made It plain that
the Old Guard Republicans are unalterably
opposed to the nomination of Roosevelt,
He pointed to Roosevelt's utterances
against the Germans to support the atti
tude of himself and his associates. In th
course of an interview on Senator Hard
ing's keynote speech, h caidr
"I think Senator Harding's speech met
with, tnilversa.l approval, and I have not
heard a single crlUcUru of any part of It,
t was 4 judicious and well-balanced state
ment of Republican principles.
"The most discussed feature of the, wpeech
was when ha spoke on Americanism and
referred to thj Germans. The applause
showed that thousands of American people
have no sympathy with, a crusade against
any lemsat at our great population.

POLITICAL BETTORS SCARED
OFF BY DOUBTFUL SITUATION
Keep Under Cover Roosevelt Adher
ents Willing to Bet Even Money
Political betting lagged so much today
at the Bellovue-Stratford and most of the
largo hotels that It could not bo found with
a microscope. In tho lobbies and stock
broking offices betting was extremely no
ticeable by the lack of it. During most
national conventions men of a certain type
who can always be found around hotels are
the leaders in tho betting movement, but
If there wore any today they kept their
'plunges" strictly under cover.
The explanation of those who say they
know Is that the uncertainty of the situa
tion has scared the bettors off. They say
there Is a noticeable lack of "sure tips,"
and everybody seems up In the air. Then,
too, It Is said that the few Hughes backers
want 2 to 1 and the Roosevelt adherents
are willing only to bet even money, so thero
is difficulty In their getting together.
"You see, most of the wealthy men vho
are Interested enough In the convention to
risk their 'kale are In Chicago," said a
well-known man at the Bellevue, who Is In
touch with local politics. "Those who come
here to get reports and talk over the situa
tion see that there Is such uncertainty in
Chicago that they do not care to wager
largo sums here, But the betting may
pick up In a day or so, when the interest
gets to the fever-heat point all over the
country that is if It does,"

300MS GROW OVERNIGHT
By C. D. GROAT
CHICAGO, Juno 8. The liveliest Repub
lican spot in Chicago was along favorite
sons' row. Firm belief was expressed that
a compromise candidate must eventually be
chosen by the convention and the stock of
every favorite son candidate was boosted
over night after renewed conferences
among the campaign managers.
Fairbanks' managers are today mak'lng
their final drive for delegates. With Harry
S. New and Jim Watson, Indiana's two
Republican candidates for the Senate, head,
lng the van, this Is one argument that is
being used:
Republican control for the next' four
years depends upon much more than
the election of a Republican President
A Republican President with a Demo
cratic Senate would be powerless to put
through the program of rehabilitation
our national honor demands,
Indiana must elect two United
States Senators this year. With Mar
shall again the vice presidential candi
date on the Democratic ticket, the lead
ershtp of Fairbanks is needed to assure
the election of the Republican Sena
torlal candidates. In addition, Fair
banks is a candidate upon whom all the
factions can unite in the presidential
fight
Burton boomers today declared the Ohio
candidate to be in a better position than
at any time In the last several weeks.
Iilttl? evidence is shown of Increasing
Cummins' strength, but the Iowa delegation
Is apparently well satisfied.
All favorite-son managers are convinced
the Hughes boom has been stopped and
that Roosevelt cannot be named.
There is nothing to It but a 'horse race'
now," Congressman McKinley. Sherman's
campaign manager, told his followers.
The Sherman crowd immediately jumped
up with a couple of bands, literature and
enthusiasm. Until late at night the Fair
banks band also blared away, rocking the
Congress with "On the Ranks of the
"Wabash."
Tha feeling prevailed la the camp of the,
Allies that Hughes has reached his limit
It 1 also contended tba$ the jQld Guard has
offered T. R. all it can the opportunity to
jiarae a man other than himselfand that
hU refusal wm lacreass tho 'tension t tho

CIUCAQO, June 8. Tho Republican plat
form to be adopted by the National Con-
., i ..,.iihaH ... tnVttiir it ntrnnflr
veniion, in auumun w v.....D -- -
stand for out-and-out Americanism, will
declare for a navy which will fear no
other power In tho world and for a stand
ing nrmy of suflleient slzo to form the
nucleus of an effective mobile force In caBO
It has been learned on highest authority
that tho principal planks of the platform
aro substantially na follows:
Preparedness
Tho platform declares for both military
and Industrial preparedness j a larger navy
that will bo able to protect America's In
terests anywhoro throughout tho world and
a standing army sufficiently largo not only
to protect our borders, but In case of
wnr to form a strong nucleus for national
defense ; tho Stato militia to bo encouraged
in tho training of a cltlien soldiery. (No
federalization of mllltla; no mention of
compulsory military service) Closer co
operation between the Government and
American Industries so thoy can bo used
In tho nation's defense In tlmo of war,
Amcrlcnnism
Tho Republican party In 1881 stood
ngalnst secosston. It now stands for a
united pooplo truo to American Ideals, ono
In thought, ono In action, ono In loyalty,
ono In aspiration. Everybody truo to ono
flog and to ono faith In America.
Mexico
Criticises tho present Administration's
handling of tho Mexican situation, charac
terizing it as weak and wabbling and de
clares for a policy that will protect Amer
ican Hfo and property at all times. Tho
plank docs not Indlcato in nny way that
tho Republican party stands for interven
tion In Mexico.
Tariff
American Industries should bo protected
by tariff duties that aro "reasonable In
amount," which Is defined to mean that
tho duty should equallzo tho differences
between tho wages In Europe nnd wages In
America, at the same tlmo preventing "un
due exaction by monopolies and powerful
Industrial combinations," but suflleient to
put Amorlcan Industries In a position so
thoy would bo a real aid In national de
fense Tho tariff plank characterizes, tho Un
derwood law as a complete falluro which
has not reduced tho cost of living, but
which has forced tho Government to resort
to "odious war taxes whllo tho nation Is
at peace." Its repeal Is, demanded In
utrong terms. Tho party goes on rocord
again In favor of a tariff commission.
Immigration
Immigration will Increase enormously at
tno cioso or tno present European war and
therefore for tho proper protection of
,Amerlcan labor there should be a literacy
test applied to all who seek to enter tho
