COMMITTEE OF 20 TO AID COLONEL.
Prior to the meeting of tho conventions a meeting of all delegates to the
Republican convention who arc advocating the nomination of Roosevelt was
Tealled by George Von L. Meyer', head of the Roosevelt Campaign Committee.

'floor of the convention and named a committee of 20 to prosecute the campaign.
The Colonel himself, earlier in the day, had a telephone conversation from
his home in Oyster Bay with George W. Perkins and Governor Johnson, in.
MvHlch he discussed the report which the Progressive Harmony Committee had
prepared for presentation to the Moose 'convention.
A sensational incident of the'day was the spectacular visit of Senator Borah,
leader of the Progressive olemenj. in the Republican convention, to the BulU
Moose convention, where he was. received with a remarkable demonstration' of
wild' cheering.
When' word of the incident reached the Republican convention speculation
was rife. ' Senator Smoot' declared that Borah's visit to the Progressives was
no part of any plan devised by the Republican leaders.
"I did not know he was" going to the Progressive gathering," said Smoot.
"lie probably went on his own responsibility. Hc was not sent ljy the Republican
wing of the, peace conference." - J ,
The rumor continued to be circulated all about the hall that, through a.
V combination of "favorite-son" delegates and the Roosevelt people an agreement
had been effected to "kill off" Hughes. That was said to be as far as tho
rirangement went and if the. plan went through it was hoped to take a counle
f ballots' late this evening nnd then adjourn over until morning, when, with,

When asked about the truth of this report, Governor Whitman said: "We
Htlll Insist that we have the votes to nominate Justice Hughes. That is all wo
care to say just now."
It was 'announced on tho authority of leaders of both the Pennsylvania
Republican factions that, after complimentary votes for Brumbaugh and Knox,
at least 70 of the 7G Keystone State delegates would cast their votes for
Justice Hughes. .

Withdrawn
BRUMBAUGH IN THE LIST
Evelina Ltdatr Staff Correspondent
COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June 0. The
Pennsylvania delegation to the Republican
convention will give Justice Hughes at
least TO of its 76 votes, as soon aa the
name of Philander C. Knox is withdrawn,
according to the leaders of both factions.
There Is a tendency among the delegates
to unite In support of whatever action the
Conference Committee takes, and to sup
port any candidate recommended by the
conferees. That Hughes will be Indorsed, is
the general belief among the delegates.
The' name of CJovernor Brumbaugh win
not be presented to the convention until
Pennsylvania la reached in its regular turn
in the roll real 1 of the States. merson
Collins will place the Governor in nomina
tion. The friends pf the Governor expect that
he will receive more than 40 votes on the
first ballot. Senator Penrose says be will
not receive more than 35,
The Penrose delegates will vote for
Knox, and will probably place him In nom
ination if that has not been done by some
other State before Pennsylvania ia reached.
The Brumbaugh votes will then be
thrown to Knox, unless there la a landslide
toward Hughes on ,the -second ballot- They
will go to Hughes whenever It Is apparent
that Hughes la the winner.

WOMEN REJOICE
AS BOTH PARTIES
FAVOR SUFFRAGE
Republicans Adopt Plank.
Progressives Act on
on It Today
celebrations' planned
CHICAGO, June 9. Joy rules In tho
headquarters of the woman surtrnglst.-jf over
tho adoption of equal suffrage planks In
tho Republican njatform. The Progressive
platform, which probably will ,be adpated,
today, also favors woman suffrage. The'
women who have been staging big; demon
strations -around tho convention headqijar.
,tcrsfpr tho last tow' days", 'culmUistU'ng
with a proiesslon In a driving rain, felt
their efforts had not been fruitless. They
proclaimed the action aa recognition that
they are powerful factors in national
politics.
The ranking officials of tho National
American Woman Suffrage Association were
particularly jubilant. They declared that
the Republicans gnve them exactly what
they wanted. They liked tho work of the'
Progressives, too, but regarded It as merely
a repetition of. what the party did four
years ago.
REPUBLICAN PLANK.
The plank adopted by the Republicans
follows:
The Hepuhllran party, rcnlNrmlnc It'
faith In government of the people, by
the people, for the people, u n niennure
of Jiutlce to iinprlmlf the ndult people of
tills country, forum the extenxlon of the
nutTrace to women, hut recognize the
right of each Stute to settle tills ques
tion for Itself.
At the Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage tho action was hailed! as a step
In tho right direction, but not altogether
what It should have been. The Congres
sional Union wanted some sort of expres
sion from the Republican Convention
which would further Its fight In favor of
the adoption fry Congress of tho Susan B,
Anthony amendment to tho Federal Cdn
stltutlon providing woman suffrage. It Is
happy,- however, to get as much as It did,
The women believe the Republicans, made
a wise move in adopting the suffrage
plank, for they say the women voters of
the States where equal suffrage now Is
law will be solidly against the Democratic
nominee unless tho Democratic party
should take similar action, which they
doubt. ,
All of the suffragists believe the adoption
of the pank by the Republicans Is the big
gest victory they have' had since the first
State decided to let women vote. Celebra
tions, the leaders say, will be held all over
the country in tribute to the Republican
party" for Its action.
