Chicago, June Is
On the speakers platform in the Coli
scum this morning stood a solidly
wrought table Of oak. Set in the face
Of the table was a brass plate bearing
the following inscription:
This table was used by the chairman
of the Republican National Convention

nominated for President"
crowd of enthusiasts who had been
waiting for Col Roosevelt to emerge
from his council room yesterday sudden
ly broke into a shout when a big figure
topped by a broad-brimmed black felt
slouch hat emerged, and the press in
that direction at once became so strong
that several bluecoats had to interpose.
But II was only John NJ Keyes, Of Con-
cord, the Roosevelt double" q delegate
from the Fourth Massachusetts, Congress
sional District, who looks so much like
the colonel that It has been suggested
that he might be able to start 7. r.

ing at the psychological moment and
displaying HIS teeth, as he can.

Col. Lyon, who habitually sets of a

cigarette, doesn't appear to have been IN
the least perturbed by the manner in
which the National Committee threw out

Another interesting battle loomed up
in the national convention programme
to-day when II was announced that the
anti-suIragists would oppose the efforts
Of women who seek the right to vote,
to have a suffrage plank placed IN the
Republican national platform.
Led by Mrs. Arthur Dodge. a delega-
ton representing the New York Anti
Suffrage Society was expected IN Chi
cago to-day to aid in the fight. The plan
OF the ants Is to appear before the reso-
lutions committee at the same time that
the National Suffrage Association makes
its plea.

night, William J. Bryan, who, to quote
himself, Is only a poor newspaper

| Every evening at $50 o'clock since his
arrival in Chicago Colonel Roosevelt has
appeared on the balcony OF the Congress
Hotel in front OF his room and addressed

hear the cheering outside at about thet

another bunk appeal to give him an aP-

The unanimous Judgment Of the several
hundred star reporters" who are cover
! ing the Chicago convention for all the
/ leading newspapers Of the country
that William Jennings Bryan should
stick to the business OF being a profes-
sional Presidential candidate rather than
trying the newspaper game.
They say that Bryan was once a re-
porter, but evidently he has forgotten
the art. He is now working for a syn
dicate of newspapers reporting the Chi
| caRo convention. He Is perhaps the
| busiest, most restless, and active news
paper reporter at Chicago. He Is run
/ ming his legs Of from headquarters to
! headquarters interviewing all the lead
ers of all the candidates and all the
I managers. To see him in action is to
behold the average outsiders" notion OF
a reporter personihed.
But as yet Mr.. Bryan has not scored a
beat or a little scoop" or even a new
point of view Of the situation, at least
! to Judge from his articles as they ap-
pear in the newspapers.
In contrast to Bryan's method Of work
is the method of several OF the really
big political writer's. These men seem
TO be mainly looking on. They are never
in a hurry. do not run up and down
stairs and spend q great deal of their
time standing in some place in the lob
by Of the Congress Hotel, where they
can see and be seen. And yet these men
manage to know everything that is go
ing on and to put great big circles all
around Mr.. Bryan.
Here is a sample of Bryan's enterprise
as a reporter. He got to Roosevelt on
Sunday afternoon when no other re-
porter would be seen by the colonel and
had an interview with him which last
cd about fifteen minutes, to the envy Of
every other man whose job was to get
something from Roosevelt"
All the newspaper men turned the first
thing the next morning to Bryan's sign
ed article to read what he and Roose-
welt had talked about and this Is what
they read: 'I lad an interview with
Col Roosevelt, also I found him just as
buoyant and cheerful as usual
