T,Ment at n couvention In Chicago,
Fn Tulv 10. "The Republican party
has now driven out of representation in
its councils the millions of voters who
followed Roosevelt, Johnson and La
Folette " the statement said. "The
new party will represent these voters
and will present a dcilnite nnd con
itrurllve program."
The sfatemrnt mud that the new
tmrty had been organized in. thirty
Mates nnd thnt It would be prepared
to put Its electoral ticket on the ballots
In every state. ,
Although the Hearst papers and the
Hearst lleutennnts dropped like a hot
cake yesterday their cry of "Johnson
must be nominated or there will be n
third party," rumors of some sort of a
radical drive to be backed by William
H. Hearst persisted tonight.
The latest yarn of "the kind, very
Mguely flaihed. was thnt Robert M.
La Follcttc will lead n general insur
rection ngainst the ncpublicnn nnd
Democratic pnrtlcs, with the backing
of feveral vnrictlcs of the discontented.
Doubtless that rumor was based upon
the action token by Edwin J. Gross, of
Milwaukee, La Follctte's spokesman In
ths convention, Saturday, when he
defiantly voted twenty-four of Wis
consin's twenty-six delegates for
La Follotte to tho end nnd declined to
join in the acclamation for Harding.
Henator Lenroot says, however, that
talk of T.n Follcttc leading n split Is
absurd, that there will be no split nnd
imt Wisconsin will be found In the
Eepubllcnn electoral column. Other
Iiepubllcan lenders heavily discount tho
rumor.

" e'yDe of Governor Cox,
Ohio's most populnr citizen, n place on
the Democratic ticket.
Johnson is a big factor In the situa
tion. Up "accepted" the ticket, but he
is known to bo an nngry nnd disap
pointed mnn. From being a powerful
figure In Washington he dwindled to
nothingness here. The delegates did hot
care two straws for the fact that ho
was the leader' of the party's left wing.
They did not caro two straws for the
party's left wing.
Tho parallel of lf)04 recurs again.
Aryan "accepted" tho Parker ticket
in that year.' Bryan stayed regular and
wnitcd until he could say triumphantly
"I told you so." Johnson, If the worst
fears of tho liberals" are realized, will
imitate the Bryan of 1004. The general
impression is thnt he will not lift his
hand to elect the Harding ticket. He
did nothing for Hughes in California
in 1010, with the result that Hughes
was defeated. If he is inactive in Cali
fornia at this time. California, pervaded
as it is with tho Hearst influence, may
turn out to bo again a doubtful state.
What tho Democrats May Do
But Johnson this year Is something
more than tho leader of a state. lie is
the nntionnl leader of one wing of his
party, as Bryan was of his party in
1004. Johnson may be regular, nis
open attitude tnny be Impeccable. And
yet it may do much damage to Repub
lican prospects.
Tho Democrats are likely to meet this
Issue raised by the Republican conven
tion with directness. 'Whatever the
party's platform declares for Mr. Mc
Adoo, if he is nominntcd, will mnke his
own platform nnd it will be n bold one.
Mr. McAdoo Is n political gnmblcr who
plays for big stnkcs. It Is crcdltnbly ns
scrtcd here that his personal platform
will embrace the government ownership
of railways. Mr. McAdoo, ns railway
administrator, became a convinced ad
vocate of government ownership, just as
Mr. Illncs, his successor, a practical
railway man, did nlso.
If Mr. McAdoo follows this policy
it will bo n bold meeting of the chal
lenge thrown down by the Republican
convention. He will lift the whole fight
out of the nrcn of Wilson nnd nntl-Wilson
nnd plncc it upon n new plane. He
will go boldly after tho elements who
will have difficulty staying in the Re
publican party. He will abandon the
conservatives, except his own southern
conservatives, to the Republican pnrty
and seek to capture the industrial vote
of the big eastern states. vIn thnt case
tho jssuo will turn upon what strength
there really is In the forces of northern
and western conservatism.

such a good job that Ohio almost lost
her chief executive instead of only a
United States senator.
Pennsjlvaulo, however, was signally

G. 0. P. PLANS DRIVE
TO GET $2,000,000
Schomo to Financo Presidential
Campaign Sponsored by
Chairman Hays
SEEK $1 CONTRIBUTIONS
Chicago, June 14. Will II. Hays,
nntionnl chnlrmnn, will gather a cam
paign fund which fill not pinevthe Re
publican party in the position of having
to favor any intcn-sts or any rich man.
The plan, which is alttndy in operation,
represents Hays's Determination to clog
up politics as far as his party is con
cerned. About CO per cent of the preliminary
expenses, of the national commlttco was
paid by men nnd women that hnd never
before given n dollar to the Republican
cause. Some of the money came from
southern states nnd a good deal of It 1j
credited to the border states.
No contribution of more than $1000
will be accepted from anybody that
is, flat. The belief amounts to a ccr
tnfntv that sufficient funds can be ob
tained by this method to finance the
campaign. Moreover, tho books of tho
national committee will be wide open.
Anybody who wanted to find out where
the Republican organization is getting
ltd mnnpv mnv hnvo access to the rec
ords. It is probable that they will be
volunteered to the puouc in mo snane
of statements sworn to by notary pub
lics from timo to time.
Pattern After Red Cross Drlvo
Early in August there will be a call
for 51 contributions. A "drive" or
ganized exactly ns tho successful popu
lar Red Cross anneals were made, will
be started over the cjnatry to rnise
S2.000.000 in SI contributions.
On Saturday Hays had'1' luncheon
with a Democrat, and a mighty prom
inent one. Ho told his friend, the
enemy, about the decision to limit con
tributions, to $1000 and about the $1
urivo to be made In August.
The Democrat said:
"Have you figured out, what tho $1
drive Is going to not" ,
"Certainly," said Hays.
"How much do you think?"
"Two million dollars."
"I see," said the Democrat.
"That's clever!".
If there happens to be anybody who
does not seo off-hand, the idea is thin:
When men voluntarily contribute
money to a cause, even if they give
only $1, they are very apt to become
workers in that cause. It does not
jnnkc nearly so much difference how
much money Is actually raised by the
i unvc ns it uoes tne iricnus thnt can
bo made for tho Rcnublicnn nnrtv and
tho volunteer workers that can be
gnjncd in every county nnd district.
The campaign will be organized as a
local county enterprise. "Well, sup
pose," countered the Democrat, "that
your $iuuu nmtc pian uocsn't pan out;
the money thnt will be actually needed
for legitimate expenses. What will you
do then?"
"Raise the Jlmit to $5000," replied
Hays instantly.
"Raise the limit and provide full
ptiDucity, so that the people will know
wncre every aoiiar comes irom.
' Democrats May Borrow Plnn
"Mr. Ilnys," said the prominent
uemocrat, u nave sneered nt schemes
like this and have taken little stock in
them, but I believe now that you are
right. I think so much of it that I am
going to put this idea un to the Demo
cratic nntionnl convention. Have you
any oojcction to my Dorrowmg it? "
"Not tho least,"' says Hays. "I
shall be pleased if your party takes
up the plan. Wo can clean up politics
In this country. Wo don't hurt you,
you don't hurt us, and the country is
immensely better off. Tho sooner wo
get to the position in both parties when
neither candidate will be obligated to
any interest or any man, the better.
We Republicans are on our. way. Follow
us if you care to."
NEAR-BEER LICENSE LOOMS
Trenton Commissioners to Discuss
Fee at Meeting Today
Trenton, Juno 14. About 140 appli
cations for liquor licenses that have been
on file pending the Supreme Court de
cision in prohibition litigation will bo
dismissed by the city commission nt its
meeting today. The court's uphold
ing tho validity of prohibition legislation
renders the commission powerless to
grant the licenses.
Tho commission will probably take up
today the question of charging a li
cense, fee for the sale of near-beer and
other soft drinks In order to recoup in
part revenue lost through the operation
of prohibition.

Harding at Capital
to Begin Campaign
Continued from Fusa On
who know him. The people of his home
town are for him almost to n(man.
Thirty-five thousand dollars, or one
third of his pre-conventlon campaign
fund, was raised in passing the hat In
Marlon. Democrats joined with Repub
licans In contributing. It seems likely
that Marlon will go almost solidly Re
publican or for Harding In the elec
tion nest November.
One of those who Is ndvlsing Senator
Harding to conduct his presidential
campaign from his home In Marlon Is
Walter F. Brown, who was one of tho
flood leaders of the Ohio delegation In the
convtaMon. Mr. Brown docs not think
there is -tho slightest doubt Senator
Harding will carry his home state by
even more than he did in 1014. nfs
plurality for the United States Senate
that year was 103,000. Mr. tfrown
explained he had been state chairman
In Ohio, but had left the party in 1012.
"I have only recently cone back," he
added, "nnd now I am Tery hnppy."
John W. Iiangley, rikevllle, Ky.,

The members of the new executive com

Hays. A vice chairman of tho executive
committee, who will be a woman, will bo

Forecasts Change In South
The resolution -fidopted in the final
minutes of the convention forecasts a
change in the representation of the Re
publican party from southern states in
future1 national conventions. The rcsrA
lution, offered by Paul Howland, of
Ohio, provides the apportionment of
delegates to conventions shall be In
proportion to the Republican votes cast
in the states.
Testimony before the national com
mittee ten days ago In its examination
of claims of contesting delegations from
several southern states showed certain
delegates represented only a small con
stituency as compared to delegates from
other sections of the country.
The resolution, which was adopted
unanimously notwithstanding the vig
orous protests from delegates from
Louisiana, Alabama and Texas, pro
vides "that in order to effect proper
and necessary changes In the appor
tionment ot delegates in proportion to
the Republican votes actually cast in
general elections throughout the various
states and in order to inspire a greater
effort to erect and maintain substantial
party organizations in all the states,
the national committee, notwithstanding
nny rule heretofore adopted, Is. directed
within twelve months to adopt a just
and equitable basis of representation In
future national conventions.
"The basis shall be set forth In the
call for the next convention nnd be
binding upon all other future conven
tions until otherwise ordered."
