OLD GUARD SEEKS
TO NAME CANDIDATE
Progressives Aroused by Move
ment to Control Next G. o. P.
Convention.

Progressive Republican leaders are
aroused over Information they have
received of a movement to control the
next Republican national convention in
the interest Of a conservative platform
and a conservative nominee.
Following the Republican sweep in
the last campaign friction as to which
element Of the party should control
began to develop.
An organization is being formed, and
it will be- we'll financed for the osten-
sible purpose of promoting the Repub-
lican cause. Congressman Martin b.
Madden OF Chicago is one Of the prime
movers in the plan. Former Senator
Winthrop Murray Crane of Massachu-
sets, former Senator Jonathan Bourne,
IT,. Of Oregon, former Congressman
Rodenberk Of illinois. and others Of the
Old Guard. are instrumental IN promot-
1t is said that National Chairman
Charles d. Hilles has declined to be-
come a part Of 1t.
Various reports are current as TO the
to be directed toward the nomination
OF one Of the Republican conservatives
for President in 1916
A press bureau will be maintained.
Emphasis is to be laid on the need OF
conservatism with regard to the han
ding OF all problems relating to busi-
ness and the railroads.
The movement is said to be directed
against the nomination OF any man OF
the type Of Cummins. La Toilette. Nor
ris Borah or even OF Congressman
Mann. Of Illinois. wac has made many
Old Guard enemies because OF being
overfriendly to the progressive Repub-
licans.
The progressive Republican leaders are
concerned over the movement. but as
sert that it will ruin any candidate set
before the country as being supported
by the Old Guard. But they fear 1t will
be hurtful to the .party is 1t appears
that there is an organized Old Guard
effort to control the convention and
name the candidate, fearing 1t will alien
ate the Independent and progressive
vote.

Themselves for Reform.

they have been able to do little in the
face of antagonism from many mothers.
Therefore, our problem Is to educate
parents
Mrs. Rafter already has appeared be-
fore q number of mothers clubs and
parent-teacher organizations and OBJ
tained pledges from them to Cooperate
In the campaign to secure greater sim
pliclty of dress among school girls.
Dresses Were Simple.
II was especially gratified when I
attended eighth grade commencements
at two schools which had mothers
clubs and at those exercises the dresses
were simple and attractive.
AT another graduation I noticed two
girls simply dressed and found that
they were daughters of members Of our
Mothers Congress. so the movement
among club women already has, had its
effect.
1--WE simply wish to put before all
mothers the need for simple dressing.
even among those girls who can afford
expensive attire. If two or three girls
dressed 1t is the most natural instinct
we know for other girls to follow their
example. If these otHers girls cannot
have the same sort of finery, tears fol-
low when they reach home"
One other point upon which Mrs.
Rafter will lay emphasis Is the proper
diet for school children. She pointed
to the organization of parents cook
ing class. now under way among moth
ers Of the Monroe School. which will
study the proper food for the growing
child the preparation of school lunch
cons, and the general subject of food
values.
