Chicago Gets the
 Repub. Convention
IT IS TO BE HELD JUNE 2, ONE WEEK BEFORE DEMOCRATIC
s1 VOTED CHICAGO
There He'd Been Division on Date But Decision Was Reached Without a Roll caII-committe Took No Cognizanee of Candidates.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Chicago was selected by the republican national committee tonight as the meeting place of the 1916 republican national convention to be held June ', one week before the democratic convention in St. Louis. The vote stood: Chi cago 31, San Francisco 13, St. Louis ', Philadelphia 2.
 Had Been Divided.About Date. Earlier in the day the committee had been divided upon the date, a much discussed problem with senti- ment for and against meeting before the democrats pretty evenly divided. The decision was reached without a roll call and some said a record vote might have brought a different result.
 Give Its Story to Country First.
 Advocates of an early convention date argued that now was the time offensive against it's political enemies without regard to the ancient customs of allowing the party in power to meet first and announce it's candidates and principles It was argued that the party should not consider a de- fensive campaign, but should blaze the trail and give it's story 10 the country first.
 Technical objection to an early date was raised by representatives Of West Virginia and South Dakota, where primaries to elect convention delegates are held June 6, but the matter was adjusted satisfactorily.
 Fight for Convention Was One Sided.
 The fight for the convention proved to be more one-sided than friends of the cities which lost had believed it would be. The fact that the demo- crats meet in St. Louis June 14 and that many thousands who will attend have made reservations at the hotels there for several days ahead. undoubt- edly had it's influence against St. Louis after the committee had decided on June as the date.
 Took No cosnizanee of Candidates.
 The committee officially took no .cognizance of candidates, although the lobby of the hotel where the meetings were held was we'll filled with republf- cans who have been mentioned as presidential possibilities and their supporters.
 To Wage Fight on Plain Principles.
 The republican fight, the gossip went today. will be waged on a few plain principles; defense of American com merce and industry and defense of American lives. One of the points of attack will be that the democratic party in congress had not stood for an adequate plan of preparedness un- til eventc across the Atlantic forced them to change their position.
 One of the last things done by the committee was the selection of a com mittee on arrangements which will se- lect temporary chairman of the con- vention and name some of it's impor- tant temporary committees. This com mittee will meet either in New York or Chicago in a few days.
 The committee gave an hour during the afternoon to proponents and op- ponents of woman suffrage. Applause and laughter greeted all the speakers Dr. Anna Howard Shaw asked that the republican platform carry plank promising a federal suffrage amend ment. Mrs. A. J. George was spokes- man for the anti-suffragists.

BOSTON GIVES INCREASED
 MAJORITY FOR LICENSE.
Candidates of Good Government Asso-
 citation Win Council Sets.

Boston, Dec. 14.-Cand1dates of the Good Government association won all of the four city council seats voted for in today's election. License advocates were again in a considerable majority. Opposition to taking land from the Common to widen busy thoroughfares prevailed.
 The vote was unusually large, espe- cially in the absence of the mayoralty as an issue. Mayor James M. Curley has two years still to serve, but in his campaign address in support of four candidates opposed to the good gov ernment ticket he said that his ad- ministration was on trial.
 The result of the vote on license had been considered more doubtful than in the past. several elements having joined in a no-license move ment. The majority proved greater than last years, the vote being yes 45,S35, no 31,S81.
 Lynn Enters No-License Column.
 The change of Lynn from license to no-Hcense was the most noteworthy feature of the elections in Massachu- setts cities outside of Boston. While the liquor question was prominent in most of the cities, there was no change except in Lynn.
