Material nominee of the Republican
ticket.
The Vote For Senator.
The vote for the Republican senc
torial endorsement in Chicago and
Cook county is: Hopkins 1885;
Mason 39,3Sl; Foss 50,252; givm5
Foss a plurality over Hopkins of
.9S9i.
In the state outside of Cook coun-
~ the contest seemed to be fairly
even between Foss and Hopkins with
Mason falling far to the rear. Gen
eral returns, were. perhaps, shade in
favor of Hopkins, but whether his
vote in the outside counties will en-
able him to over come the strong lead
gained by Foss in Cook county is not
vet known.
Stringer Easy Winner.
The Democratic senatorial endorse
ment can be dismissed with the state
ment that Stringer won easily In
every county SO far heard from.
For the Republican gubernatorial
nomination Deneen received in Chi
cago and Cook county 1900 votes
and Yates 72.109 giving Deneen
plurality in Chicago and Cook county
of 1891. Returns so far received did
not show that Yates was cutting down
this lead.

Hagerman, N. M, June 15.-A
block of business houses were threat
ened with destruction by fire at one
O'Clock this afternoon, but the prompt
work OF a hastily formed bucket brig

have been the cause of the blaze. II
was first discovered in some coal tar
barrels that were stored in a little
shed at the north side of the drug
store of A. N. Miller. Before the
blaze was put out the shed was burn

damage done. Among the buildings
and property threatened were an i'm

But location rather than luck causes
the frequent selection of Chicago. The
city is geographically considerable
distance from the center. but 1T is not
far from the population center Of the
United States. In the matter Of trans
portations, both by water on the great
lakes and by rail, Chicago is unsur-
passed. 1t is the greatest railroad CEN
ter In America, though in danger of
losing it's premiership In that respect
to Kansas City. One may reach Chi
cago with comparative ease from any
place In the United States where there
Is railroad connection. Another advan-
tage Of the city for great conventions
is that of hotel facilities. So big is
Chicago that the many thousands of
extra visitors who attend the national
excitement so far as numbers are con-
cerned. They can be accommodated
with ease, and even swallowed up in
ularly noticeable.
Chicago and New York are the only
cities In America where this condition
prevails. New York being too far to
one side of the country. Chicago thus
becomes the Inevitable convention city
Chicago makes no particular effort to
obtain great conventions, knowing that
they belong to her as a natural right
and win come anyhow.
The population of Chicago is now ap-
proximately 100000. The city's area
II about 200 square miles. For twenty
six miles along the shore of Lake Mich
isan the great city stretches, running
back ten or more miles inland

Republican Conventions In Chicago
When Lincoln Was Named
In THE Wigwam" *

Rapidly the great city grew up into the
air as well as out on the prairie. Her
principal streets became canyons
through which poured rivers of hu-
manity between precipitous walls, tow
ering cliffs shelved with suits of
rooms wherein was transacted a large
portion of that business which makes
America a matter of marvel to the
more slow going old world.
About the only commemorative affair
that Chicago ever went after with
fierce determination because of the
fear that it would go somewhere else
was the Columbian exposition or
Worlds fair Of 1898. Chicago wanted
the exposition just to prove to New
York, her chief competitor, that the
city by the lake was also a place not
to be sneezed at. New York, which is
too big to care penny about such
things as a general rule, pouted and
sulked for several years because the
western wonder carried off the Worlds
fair prize.
The exposition really hurt Chicago
more than it helped and for the rather
paradoxical reason that the city was
well enough known already and did
not need the publicity attending a
successful fair. Chicagos continued
growth was inevitable anyway. and
the exposition merely demoralized mat
ters fc- time. But Chicago got over
her Worlds fair, as she got over her
big fire. both the champions In their
respective lines at the time they hap
pened. 1t requires a worse calamity
than confiagration or an exposition
to kill off a city situated like Chicago
Chicago has many beauties and aes-
thetic things. There is Lincoln park,
for instance. with the Lincoln statue
and the AXE shore drive There is

negized but all home built. There are
miles and miles and miles of splendid
homes, and there are monuments and
fountains and an art institute There
is even a literary set, some members
of which hypbenate their names. Pork

Chicago.

The Coming One Will
Be the Seventh ~

~ HICAGO is the favorite city for
Republican national conventions
~ OF the thirteen quadrennial con-
ventions held by this great po-
litical party since its birth six have
been held in Chicago. This year Chi
cago is again the meeting place. The
Republican convention opens there
June 16 to nominate candidates for
president and vice president of the
United States. Thus to the great ILL.,
nois metropolis must be credited ex
actly half of the national conventions
of the Republican party, while the
Democratic party has held four of its
nineteen national conventions in Chi
cago.
First of the Republican party's Chi
cago convention was that of 1860. for
ever memorable for having nominated
for president the fllustrious emancipa-
tor, Abraham Lincoln. In 1868 the con-
vention again was held in Chicago, the
nominee being the second great figure
developed by the civil war. Ulysses s.
Grant. Beginning with 1880 three con-
secutive conventions met in Chicago.
That of the year mentioned nominated
James A. Garfield. In 1884 James c.
Blaine was named, while in 1888 the
convention placed Benjamin Harrison
in nomination. For three convention
years the Republicans again deserted
the great city on Lake Michigan's
shore, but in 1904 the convention
sat in Chicago. nominating Theodore
Roosevelt
OF the six candidates nominated at
Chicago by the Republican party all
but one have been elected. Blaine was
the only candidate who failed to win.
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harrison and
Roosevelt were sent to the White
House by way of Chicago. Five tri-
umphs out of six trials make an excel
lent showing for Chicago as a lucky
place for the launching of presidential
nominees.

have fallen since Saturday. Vast lakes
have formed in the districts compris-
ing Armourdale, Kas., and the whole

is still above the flood level but trains
from the west are unable to stay as

Roosevelt Not Mentioned.
Chicago, June 15.-Considerable a.

rows has prepared a keynote speech
of eighteen thousand words and prac-

No Stampede for Third Term.
Chicago. June 15.-After a caucus
had been held today by several dele
cations which have been charged with
harboring a sentiment to give the
nomination to Roosevelt, regardless
of their instructions for Taft, the pos
sibility of a stampede IN the conven-
tion does not seem so strong as it
did last night.
The West Virginia delegates met
today and no suggestion of violating
Taft instructions was made. General
G. c. Curtis, of West Virginia stated
after the caucus that he would like
to see the President re-nominated,
that he believed every mal on the
delegation would be loyal to instruc-
begun in the convention. The delega-
ton decided to have badges printed
bearing the words, "Scott for Vice
President"
The members of the Alabama and
Texas delegations also denied that
they would start a stampede for
Roosevelt against his expressed wish.
