PEACE OR WAR IN
BE DECIDED AT CHICAGO TODAY
Governor Retires From Chairmanship Race; Urge Solid State
Vote For Him in Convention
[By a Staff Correspondent ]
Chicago, Ills., June 6. Whether
it will be peace or war within the Re
publican party in Pennsylvania will
be determined before the sun sets to
night. Governor Brumbaugh having
acquiesced in the suggestion that he
make no contest against Senator Pen
rose for chairman of the Pennsylvania
delegation, his friends are insisting
that the other side show a spirit of
reciprocity by giving him a vote as
nearly unanimous as possible within
the delegation for President. This
matter was brought to a focus at the
conference of the Brumbaugh dele
gates last night when Ex-Lieutenant
Governor Louis A. Watres, of Scran
ion, in a strong speech declared that
♦he Governor having stepped aside for
Str.ator Penrose for chairman it was
but fair in view of the largo vote
polled for Dr. Brumbaugh in the
Pi evidential primaries, that the dele
gation shoudl support him in the con
vention.
Governor Brumbaugh in his speech
reiterated that he was willing now or
at any other time to step aside in the
interest of any one from a sister State

Democratic, Progressive and Repub
lican platforms, was called to order
by Miss Maude Younger, of California,
the temporary chairman, who made
Ihe keynote speech. She said the
woman's party would consider no
other issue than woman suffrage at
present and would throw its influence
to that party which supported the
Susan B. Anthony amendment.

liberal than the United States already
have the vote.

TUESDAY EVENING,

Resentment Frowned t'pon
With these two speeches In their
minds partisans of the Governor and j
stalwarts who are Penrose men are
urging the Senator this morning to,
forego all resentment growing out of
'ho factional contest and demonstrate
willingness to get together by voting
for Brumbaugh In the convention.
While Senators Penrose and Oliver
declared last evening their intention
to vote for Knox in the convention
they are being besought to-day in the
interest of harmony to lend their in
fluence to throw the delegation to
; Brumbaugh, conferences with this end
| in view were on all morning.
Attorney General Brown is seriously |
j considering giving the public data
I upon which he based his statement
I that a majority of the delegation j
would favor Governor Brumbaugh I
and if he does will probably produce !
, sctne Interesting exhibits in the way

! Should the war go on Capitol Hill's
force will be reorganized throughout.

Mr. Hammond said that to assure
prosperity there was need for a pro
, tective tariff for the development, but i
I not through government ownership, of
,an American merchant marine, and
of American banking facilities abroad.
Mr. Hammond used many Repub- j
lican arguments to show the need for i
| a return of that party to power and
j dwelt upon conditions the country may
; expect to face when the European war
|is over. He concluded with an ex
) planation of the purposes of the
| World's Court League, of which he is
[ president, saying that while it favors
I the establishment of a tribunal to
| which future international disputes J
j may be referred to avert war, the I
j league earnestly advocates "an ade- I

i possibility of our nation being sub

' any of them had proceeded far enough 1
j to clarify the Situation within the next

Point to Hughes' Speeeli
The two latest elements to be
| brought Into consideration to-day!
j were Justice Hughes' speech in Wash
j ington yesterday touching upon Amer- '
icanlsm and discussion of Senator
Lodge,, of Massachusetts, as a com
promise candidate for the Republican
i nomination likely to command the
support of Colonel Roosevelt.
Justice Hughes' supporters pointed!
to his speech as a substantial declara- 1
tlon on the question of Americanism i
! and contended that it cleared up the
I only issue on which the justice had
not previously announced his attitude,
i Those opposed to the justice charac
terized his speech as "only a list of
j platitudes." Many of the latter \
j charged that the speech was carefully
i timed for the present occasion but the j
; friends of the justice answer that ar- j
gument by pointing out that his en- '
sagement to speak was made several j
months ago and that the subject fitted j
the occasion which was the presenta- 1
tlon of a flag to graduates of a girls'
' school.
E.ipect Roosevelt Demonstration
Almost overshadowing the maneu- !
vering among the Republicans to-day l
Is question of what the Progressive
convention will do when it assembles
to-morrow. The Republican leaders
( regard It as charged with possibilities
of the most potent point. On every i
hand they expect a tremendous dem
onstration for Roosevelt, despite ef
| forts in some quarters to hold back a
nomination until the Republicans have
indicated their purpose and there has
been opportunity for further confer
ences between the two factions.

ONLY HELPING T.R.
Leaders at Chicago Resent At- i
tempt of Hyphenated Citizens
to Dictate Nomination
[By a Staff Correspondent.]
Chicago, 111., June 6.—Senator Boies I
! Penrose and members of the Pennsyl- I
j vanla delegation huve been hearing j
from the German-Americans as a re- |
suit of the rumors that the Senator
and the Colonel might make It up and j
the Penrose forces line up with the I
.Roosevelt men. The German con- 1
tingent Is very much against the
Colonel here and the Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh wings are being flapped as j
vigorously against him as against Wil
son.
The bombardment by wire which ;
| fell on the Pennsylvanians came chletly
from Philadelphia and one of the tele- I
grams that reached Penrose read:
I ' We urge you to vote against Roose- I
j velt. This county is dead against j
Roosevelt. He could not get one of |
our votes. Anybody ljut Roosevelt."
Men In other delegations got much
the same thing, but coming right after j
the big preparedness demonstration, I
the effect was, If anything, to make I
the Americanism idea stronger. The
more attacks the German-Americans
make on the Colonel because of his
speeches, the more they are strength
ening him here.
The Pennsylvania telegram deluge Is
said to have been organized by Dr.
Charles J. Hexamer, of Philadelphia, !
head of the German-American Alll- j
I ance In the State.
Candidates are boosting prepared
ness and Senator John W. Weeks got
very much into the public eye by
] putting out a statement for a big navy, j
while one of the principal arguments
for Root is tbat he is for adequate
defense measures.

the preparedness spirit and thevdele

to be bringing considerable more with

thirty others at a conference late last
I night came to a decision that the con
j vention should nominate Roosevelt as
soon as nominations could be reached
in the regular order of business and |
that nothing less than a request for
t delay from Roosevelt himself should .
interfere with that plan. They agree j
1 that if their program went through
and the Colonel was nominated at
once, Governor Johnson would take
the second place, as he did four years
ago. All of this is contingent, how
ever, upon failure of the leaders of
both parties to agree upon a com
promise candidate.
T. R. Move Shows Itself
The movement for the immediate J
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt be- :
gan to show itself early to-day. The |
Progressives opened headquarters in
the Florentine room of the Congress
Hotel, from which the Roosevelt fight
1 was directed four years ago. and be-
I fore the delegates were at breakfast,
1 Roosevelt boosters were abroad cheer
ing and shouting and stirring up dem
onstrations for the Colonel. This was
1 part of the plan matured at recent
conferences.
All of the Progressive leaders who
are striving for harmony realise the
i difficulty of holding the Roosevelt en
thusiasts from a nomination beyond
: Thursday. Most of the Progressive
delegates were elected as Roosevelt
! men and they are chafing under re
straint Imposed t>y those who ajpe
1 placing the demand for harmony
above the interests of their candidate.
Many Conferences Held
Many conferences have been held
1 between small groups representing
; both regular Republicans and Pro
! gressives and possibly all of the lead-
I ers of both factions have at one time
or another participated in these ex
changes of views. The announced
' purpose of the meetings has been to
I seek an agreement respecting a pos
sible nominee or issues on which they
| could unite.
At the outset, the regular Republi
j cans were inclined to offer the entire
list of candidates now in the field as
proof lhat they are not trying to force
1 any particular man on the Progres
sives and to point out that the Pro
gressives on the other hand have been
for one candidate —Col. Roosevelt —
and that harmony is far off unless the
' Progressives show a willingness to
| consider their names.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
HUGHES SOUNDS
POSSIBLE KEYNOTE
Interprets Flag as Meaning
America First, in Public
Address
Sfecial, to the Telegraph
Washington, D. C., June 6. ln
the seclusion of the National Cathedral I
School lawn, where he was presenting
an American flag to the honor gradu- j
ates, Justice Charles E. Hughes yes
terday made his first publtc address
since the opening of the preconven
tion campaign. He told ,the young
wcmen graduates that the flag meant
America first, an undivided allegiance !
and a Nation united and equal to its!
task.
"This flag means more than associa-1
t'on and reward," said the Justice, "it I
is the symbol of our national unity, |
our national endeavor, our national
aspiration. It tells you of the struggle '
for independence, of union preserved, I
of liberty and union one and insepar
able. of the sacrifices of brave men I
and women to whom the ideals and
honor of this Nation have been dearer !
than life.
Flag Means America First
"It means America first; it means
an undivided allegiance. It means
America united, strong and efficient,
equal to her tasks. It means that you
cannot be saved by the valor and de
votion of your ancestors; that to each
generation comes its patriotic duty;
and that upon your willingness to sac
rifice and endure, as those before you
have sacrificed and endured, rests the
natiotial hope.
I "It speaks of equal rights; of the
inspiration of free institutions exempli- j
tied and vindicated; of liberty under j
law intelligently conceived and impar- |
tlally administered. There is not a
thread in it but scorns self-indulgence,
weakness and rapacity. It is eloquent
of our common interests, outweighing
all divergence of opinion, and of our
common destiny.
"Given as a prire to those who have
the highest standing, it happily en
fcrces the lesson that intelligence and
zeal must go together; that discipline
must atfompany emotion, and that we
, must ultimately rely upon enlighten
! opinion."
Flag to Leading Graduate
i Under the custom of the school, the
student to stand at the head of the
graduating class receives as a reward
the flag which has flown over the
school grounds all year. Several
months ago Justice Hughes was in
j vlted to make the presentation ad
| dress, but no announcement of his ac
j ceptance ever was made.
Miss Catherine Hughes, daughter of
I the Justice, was a member of the
j graduating class, but she missed the
coveted honor of winning the flag by
a few points, taking rank among the
firrt ten.
I • In beginning his address. Justice
! Hughes told the graduates that the
j it.tellectual inheritance of the age
counted only as it actually was
! possessed and used. He said it was
| a miserable spectacle to see the youth
I neglecting the lessons of science, the
instruction of history, the resources of
J literature and art and leading a life
| small and impoverished amid the op
i portunitles of the twentieth cen
tury-
Alluding then to the beauty of the
prize ha was awarding, he told of the
! associations and memories of school
j life: it would recall, and concluded
I with the declaration of the broader
j national spirit it stood for.
Senator Martin of Virginia, was the
| only man In high public life to hear
j the address.
| to have been the result of this broad
: criticism of the Progressive course.
Republican leaders were disposed
not to take the Lodge suggestion ser
iously. Some of them said openly
that the Senator's name was offered
because the Progressives believe it
would be Impossible for the Republi
cans to unite on his support.
Regulars Skeptic
The mention of Mr. Lodge as a
compromise candidate only added to
the skepticism of the regular Repub
licans concerning the sincerity of.pur
pose of the Progressives In proposing
names other than Roosevelt's. It led
to a disclosure that at a conference
Sunday night between a number of
prominent Progressives and Republl
i cans, the former offered the name of
j Senator LaFollette and asked the Re
) publicans if they would accept him.
| The Republicans charged the Progres
| sives with insincerity and asserted
j that the Progressives knew there was
no possibility of Colonel Roosevelt ac
j eepting LaFollette, or of any agree
, ment upon him. George W. Perkins
j immediately withdrew the suggestion
| and indicated that it was made solely
, for the purpose of drawing out the
I regular Republicans.
Progressives Meet Late
The meeting late to-day of the Pro
gressive national committee with the
State chairmen and chairmen of State
delegations were expected to touch
further the plan of temporarily hold
ing up nominations in the Progressive
convention. It was explained at a
meeting to "let the outsiders know
what the insiders knew and propose."
George W|. Perkins will address the
meeting and explain his conferences
with Republican leaders.
Chairman Murdock expressed belief
to-day that action upon nominations
by Progressives might be withheld un-!
til Friday but no longer.
Convinced that Roosevelt cannot be
nominated by the Republican conven
tion the defensive combination of
favorite son candidates which is said
to control about 550 votes, to-day
exerted its full Influence to eliminate
Hughes if they can. In this effort they
received the united support of all ele
ments of the Progressive party lead
ers.
This is caucus day for State delega
tionf and the favorite son managers
a>e busy tying up their men with Iron
clad pledges to stick to the com
bination until the break conies in ac
cordance with some plan to be de
cided upon later.
Nominating Speeches Friday v
While the old organization leaders
are certain they have control of the
convention they admit the situation
Is pregnant with uncertainties at
present. They hope that with Roose
velt's aid they may. be able to agree
on a candidate acceptable to a ma
jority of the Progressives and prevent
a third ticket being put in the field.
The day's developments disclosed a
spectacular drive of the field against
Hughes but despite this, his friends
expressed confidence that he would
be named in the early hours of the
balloting.
The plan of the organization is to
have the nominating speeches Friday,
take two ballots and adjourn in the
hope of effecting a compromise on
someone agreeable to the Roosevelt
forces.

HAS NOT SAID HE
REFUSED SUPPORT
Perkins Issues Statement Say
ing Roosevelt Is Not For or
Against Any Man
By Associated Press
Chicago, June 6. lmmediately be
fore he went into conference with Re
publican leaders, George W. Perkins,
leader of the Roosevelt adherents, to
day gave out a statement declaring
that Col. Roosevelt had not said that
he would refuse to support Justice
Hughes or any other man and assailed
Hughes' supporters for making capital
of his "preparedness speech" In Wash
ington last night.
"Col Roosevelt has neither said he
was for nor against man," Mr.
Perkins said. "When he does speak,
It will be over his own signature.
"I am amazed," he continued, "that
persons are taking advantage of Jus
tice Hughes' speech before a girls' col
lege to get him a nomination for presi
dent. It was not a statement. It was
just a little address, It Is a gross in
justice to him. It Is unbelievable that
he should do this for such a purpose.
Whoever tried to use this statement
for fhe purpose of getting him the
nomination, places him in an insincere
position and does a gross injustice."
"I wish you would be so good as to
have your newspapers ask the people,"
he said, "if we are not in danger of
letting this little puddle In which we
are splashing around obscure events of
unprecedented magnitude and menace.
Drawing; Near Cataclysm
j "Every day for two years we have
been drawing nearer to a world-wide
: cataclysm.
"The United States now has a
matchless opportunity to render a
world-wide service for providing it
with a leader in whom the world has
confidence. That man is Theodore
Roosevelt."
Later Mr. Perkins issued a statement
to the progressive delegates reminding
them they.are not In Chicago against
anybody. He said:
"Let me remind you that we are not
here for the avowed purpose of being
against anybody. We are for some-
I body and that somebody is Theodore
| Roosevelt. I urge you to bear this in
j mind in all your conversations with
I whomsoever you talk while in Chicago.
I The process of tearing down men and
things in this country and In the world
I should stop. We haven't got It In 'for
I anybody or anything.' We are out for
a matchless man and an Incomparable
| cause. You know that no one else has
j such a man and that he is the cause.
Therefore we have no second choice.
! Go to it."

JUNE 6, 1916.
FLINN IN FAVOR
OF PARTY UNION
Former Big Figure at Chicago
Now Views Proceedings
From Sidelines
[From a Staff Correspondent.]
Chicago, June 6. Four years ago
the most outstanding figure from
Pennsylvania among the delegates was
William Fllnn, the former State Sena
tor and Bull Moose leader in the great
contest for the Keystone State's dele
gation. To-day he sat quietly chat
ting in the lobby of the Auditorium
Hotel as a detached spectator of the
preliminaries might have done.
Four years have changed Flinn's
point of view. He believes now that
there should be some practical reunion
i of the two forces within the Republi
can party. He no longer insists that
the party has ceased to have a mis
sion nor does he declare with the old
time vehemence that all who took part
In the nomination of Taft in 1912 were
without patriotism or party principle.
In those exciting days of 1912 he was
threatened with ejectment from the
Coliseum by Senator Ellhu Root, the
chairman of the convention, because of
his strenuous objection to decision of
the chairman. It was one of the most
remarkable scenes of a remarkable
convention and Mr. Fllnn promptly,
subsided and the regular order pro
ceeded.
Of course. It must not be forgotten
that William FUnn of 1912 was a dif
ferent man physically from the Wil
liam Flinn of to-day. He shows evi
dences of recent severe Illness and is
disposed to discuss various phases of
the convention in a more pacific fash
ion. He believes now as he did four
year ago, that Koosevelt Is one of the
greatest Americans of his day and
generation and that he typifies the
very spirit of the new Americanism
which he has been preaching for
months; that his nomination Is the
logical one to be made. It Is also the
judgment of the Bull Moose leaders
that President Wilson Is a formidable
opponent this year and that the issue
being preparedness it is only reason
able to place the standard of the party
in the hands of the man who repre
sents the militant ideals.
Mr. Flinn does not insist that Roose
velt. is the only candidate available,
I but he believes that the silence of Jus
-1 tlce Hughes will render difficult the ac
i ceptance of the colonel's chief rival by
j the Progressive convention. He says '
I it is not going to be easy to induce
! (he Moosers to endorse one whose
views upon the living issues are so
generally unknown. He believes
further that the big Job now confront
ing the leaders is to pacify the 4,000,-
000 voters who supported Roosevelt
four years ago. Whether this can be
done with any other candidate than
the man from Oyster Bay is the big
question he frankly admits.
Switching on to the Pennsylvania
situation the Plttsburgher intimated
that the Brumbaugh campaign con
ducted In a more skillful way would
have come near eliminating Penrose
in the recent primary.
"Penrose belongs to the old school
which is rapidly passing and he cannot
survive politically much longer." was
the comment of the senator's antagon
ist.
It is the significant attitude of the
Progressives toward Penrose which is
causing much quiet discussion. They
do not hesitate to say that the senator
and five or six others have the destin
ies within their grasp. In their Judg
ment Penrose and those associated
iwith him can determine the nominee
and a prominent Bull Moose said to
-1 day that the chief fault of Penrose was
that he preferred to follow than to
lead; that should he step out and de
clare tor Roosevelt he would satisfy
Republican sentiment and make him
self a tower of strength throughout
Pennsylvania and the whole nation,
win or lose in this campaign.
There is an undercurrent of opinion
among the Roosevelt leaders that
Penrose is only waiting a favorable
moment and something definite in the
way of understanding as to days to
come to side with Roosevelt albeit
other stalwart leaders continue to
urge Justice Hughes as the logical
choice of the party at this time. It is
believed that Roosevelt himself would
be perfectly willing to take off his
spurs and remove traces of 1912 in
the interest of a reunited party—and
his own candidacy.
William Flinn, sage-like and with no
blood in his eye. chatting contentedly
with former political foes and his Bull
Moose friends in the midst of the
political glee clubs and the passing
throng, typifies the changed attitude
of the Armageddon hosts. A. B. H.
Nomination of Gen. Wood
"Would Be Most Acceptable"
to Colonel Roosevelt
Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 6. The
nomination of General Leonard Wood
for the presidency would be "accept
able" to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
as a solution of the situation at. Chi
cago, according to two visitors who
called upon the former President to
day just before he left for New York
to visit his publishers. They asserted
that Colonel Roosevelt told them that
While he was "neither for nor against
any candidate" that General Wood
"v.ould be the most acceptable to
him," and that he would "throw his
hat in the ring and go out and work
for him as a candidate," who was
"thoroughly United States" and whose
election would "mean the return of
the true spirit of Americanism."
Wilson Discusses Plans
For Convention and Platform
With Advisers of Cabinet
By .Issedated Press
Washington. June 6. Plans for
the Democratic National convention
with particular reference to the plat
form were discussed to-day by Presi
dent Wilson with his advisers at the
ccblnet meeting and at informal White
House conferences. Senator Ollie
Jrmes who is to be permanent chair
man of the convention and Repre
sentative Doremus. chairman of the
Democratic Congressional committee,
participated in the discussion.
The President, who is preparing a
diaft of the platform will not complete
his work until after the Republican
convention. While the main features
already have been decided, the tone
of the document will be Influenced by
the action of the Chicago convention.

REPUBLICANS ARE
"ALL DRESSED UP"
But, Unlike the Man in the
Song, They Have Some
"Place to Go"
(By a Staff Correspondent
Chicago, Ills., June 6. This is
gcing to be a pretty aressy convention
and as the weather has been delight
ful it gives opportunity for the pea
cceks to spread themselves. Many of
the men here appear to attract an im
portance to attire that bids fair to
furnish much entertainment.
The high hat and the slouch hat
still have their vogues, but the ma
jority of the men are wearing straw
hats with the giddiest kind of bands.
A dozen years ago there was nothing
but high hats for the Northern men
and the black slouch hat for the men
from the West and the South. Any
one who wore else was not considered
a statesman. Now the high hat and
frock coat are scarce articles and
while the slouch holds on they don't
wear the frock coat with it except at
| a rate of one In seventeen. The
j Southerners are wearing flannels or
i other light clothes although the lake
breezes do make them look uncom-

See Nature at Her Very Best
in Glacier National Park
The most talked-of place In America
by out-of-doors people is Glacier Na
tional Park. It.is located in Northwest
ern Montana, and has within its gener
ous boundaries more of Nature's in
spired masterpieces than any similar
area in the world.
There are 60 living glaciers in the
Park, Blackfeet Glacier alone covering
over five square miles. These glaciers
feed 250 deep blue or emerald green
lakes.
The Icy waters of the Park's glacier
fed lakes and streams furnish the ang
ler with any amount of flrm-fleshed,
game-some Rainbow, Cut-Throat, Flat,
Bull and l>ake trout.
The Park Is a veritable garden, as
I over 60 varieties of wild flowers arc
| found there, ranging from yellow
adder's tongue to gorgeous mountain
lilies.
The quarters in the Park are delight
ful—you have your choice of hotels,
chalets or tepee camps. If you "hike"
it, you can get along on one dollar a
day; other prices are in proportion.
Call at the office; we will talk it over,
or if it is more convenient to send In
your address on a postcard, do that and
you will receive, free of charge, book
lets telling of the Park, its accommo
dations, and the cost of going there, on
the BI'RLJNGTON—the Daylight Route,
and seeing all there is to see.

MONKEYS WEAR
GLASSES AND
RUIN THEIR EYES
Hospital Experiment of
Worldwide Interest
' BALTIMORE, MD.:—At Johns Hop
kins Hospital, they are putting glasses
on monkeys tor the purpose of upset
i ting their vision. This will cause a
severe eye strain, and impaired vision,
which In turn affects the thyroid glands
and is expected to produce such dis
eases as nervousness, Insomnia, melan
' cholia, irritability, headache, goitre,
palpitation of the heart, protruding
eveballs, and mild forms of tubercular
1 affections. Vou must admit that if
glasses on monkeys will cause such
conditions, they will do the same on
human beings.
Eyeglasses In many cases are unnec
essary and even dangerous. Many think
because they see well with their glasses
1 1 that they fit, but this Is not always true.
1 I Misfit glasses have ruined the eyes of
i thousands of peonle, for at times nearly
every wearer of glasses wears glasses
, which do not fit. In the United States
, alone there are over 300,000 blind peo
; pie, thousands of whom can trace their
misfortune to neglect, as neglect has
caused more blindness than any other
one thing. You value your eyesight
above everything, therefore you should
know something about your eyes, and
what to do to strengthen and preserve
i them.

ized to distribute free to those interest
ed, a valuable book pertaining to eyes
and eye saving, entitled "How To Get
Rid of Bye Troubles." This book should
be In every home. It tells of a highly
efficacious home remedy, which has
enabled many to strengthen their eye
sight 50 per cent, in one week's time,
and bv so doing they are able to discard
their 'glasses. Through its use. many
others have avoided the necessity of re
sorting to these windows. If you are
a wearer of glasses and want to get rid
of them; if your eyesight is weak and
you wish to strengthen it, if you would
like to test the remedy, go to any drug
store and get 5 grain optona tablets.
Put one tablet in a quarter glass of
water, allow to thoroughly dissoilve, and
with this refreshing solution, bathe the
eyes from three to four times dally.
Everyone, whether they wear glasses
or not, will be greatly helped through
this method of eye saving. Since this
formula has been published H. C. Ken
nedy. of this city, has been kept busy
filling It. If you tollow this method,
your eyes will clear up perceptibly
right from the start. It sharpens
vision even In old eyes, and its use will
tone and strengthen the eye muscles
and nerves so they quickly become
henlthv and strong. If you would over
come bloodshot eyes and red lids. If
you would have good eyesight, and
eves free from blurring. Inflammation,
smarting. Itching, burning and aching
duo to eyestrain from overworked eyes
try this solution at once. Don't put it
oft until to-morrow, as delays are dan
gerous and the sooner you take care of
vour eyes, the better It will be for
jou.—Advertisement.
