SOUND POLICY FORMULATED BY REPUBLICANS Progrcssivism and Sound Con servatism Arc Keynotes of Convention St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 11.—Nothing bettor illustrates the drift in the Re publican party, the trend toward a snne, workable compound of pro gressivism and wise conservatism, than the alternatives presented to the Republican National Committee in its choice of a chairman to suc ceed William R. Willcox. John T. Adams, of Dubuque, la., the present vice-chairman of the committee and the candidate of Western Progressives and Eastern Conservatives, is the most active and useful member of the lowa State Council of National Defense, s a con sistent and powerful force for vig orous prosecution of the war and a supporter of President Wilson oh all propositions looking toward a military victory over Germany. Will 11. Hays, of Indiana, chairman of the Indiana State Republican Committee and of the Indiana Coun cil of National Defense, is backed by Western regulars and Eastern Pro gressives. Like Mr. Adams, he has demonstrated his faculty for uniting all elements of Republicanism and has given practical evidence of un usual organizing skill, both have in remarkable degree the genius of commonsense, the humanizing touch that is essential to the understand ing and to the solution of the press ing political problems of to-day. Coming from the Middle West, both men know the thought and the impulses of plain Americans and are equipped to interpret these thoughts and impulses in next fall's important campaign for the election of an en tire House of Representatives, thir ty-five United States Senators. The chances still greatly favor the election of Mr. Adams. Governor W. L. Harding, of lowa, is here in personal charge of the Adams head quarters and is making a mighty fine job of it. He is putting over with tine sincerity the argument that Mr. Adams is the ideal man to weld the radical and conservative elements in the party. Senator Cummins, of Towa, vouches for the Progressive support of Mr. Adams and challenges sharply the remarks of George W. Perkins that Will H. Ilayes is the only simon-pure Progressive candi date. To State Party Principles The most important act of the meeting, aside from its selection of a chairman, will be the preparation of a statement of principles in the form of a resolution. This will make the following declarations: That the Republican party stands loyally with the Admin istration in the vigorous prose- 1 cution of the war. That it restates the principles upon which the party was founded; opportunity for the in dividual to achieve prosperity and altering opposition to so cialistic doctrines, no matter where they come from. Welcome For Penrose Senator Penrose arrived late last night. He will be formally welcom ed by citizens of St. Louis, who are indignant' at Senator Stone's attitude toward the war and particularly at his recent attempt to make political 'capital through an attack in the Sen ate upon Senator Penrose. Pinchot Comes Out For O'Neil For Governor Gifford Pinchot has come out for J. Denny O'Neil for governor, as be-| tween Senator Sproul and O'Neil, I although the defeated Progressive candidate for United States senator would rather see George Wharton Pepper, chairman of the State Pub lis Safety Committee, nominated than either of the two mentioned. Pinchot stands for the ratification of the Prohibition amendment and is favorable to suffrage. He like wise believes that the next governor should be a man in full sympathy with the labor and farm elements and conversant with their needs. "As between Sproul and J. Denny O'Neil, of course I am for O'Neil. lie stands for the things I believo in," said Pinchot. The mail to-day brought to many Republicans notice that Asa A. Wei mer, of Lebanon, is actively in the Held as a gubernatorial candidate on the Republican side. Weimer dodges the liquor question by saying he "never took a drink in his life," but gives no hint where he stands with relation to the amendment. Weimer has been a candidate before and nobody is much excited over him. Financial Exposures Doom 8010, Paris View Paris, Feb. 11. —All Paris regards j 8010 Pasha, now on trial before a| court-martial on the charge of trea-' son, as doomed to face a firing squad I at. Fort Vincennes. Two of the trial days seem to have brought the same 1 realization to the prisoner, who has| lost something of the air of bravado' he wore at the opening of the trial.] The testimony that will condemn! liini will be that of M. Doyen, the financial expert, legal Paris thinks. It feels that M. Doyen's proof that Uolo was almost a pauper at the out set of the war and the prisoner's complete failure to account properly for his sudden wealth damn him. 8010 was handling millions. There is a wealth of evidence to show that these millions came from German sources, and not a scintilla of sup port for Bolo's pretense that the money was gained in a speculation. But there are those who look for a sensational end and feel that 8010 will make a coup dc theater involv ing Caillaux or some other important personage.
