Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1916-06-07

ChicaEo, June THE republicans
ana progressive national conventions
the first at the Coliseum and the sec
ond at the Auditorium-opened here
today with the growing hope Of final
harmony and the final passing Of the
bitter feud born here four years ago.
Republicans declared that as soon
as committees are appointed to secure
harmony, plans for dual nomination
will be drawn if possible and hopes
were expressed for harmony between
the "old guard and progressives.
Today's work on the floor Of the
conventions in effect, temporary or
ganizations will proceed and the fight
between the adherents Of Hughes,
roosevelt and the fayorite sons can
didates will continue.
With preliminaries out OF the way
the work OF nomination will not come
for forty eight hours, with the pos
sible exception OF quick action in the
progressive meeting.
Police Keep Busy.
Rain OF yesterday continued over
night and this morning. Flags and
streamers Of bunting hung wet on the
Coliseum. Taxicabs and private cars
provided for the delegates by the local
reception committee moved slowly over
the slippery pavements.
Policemen were at their stations
early. as were physicians and nurses
assigned for emergency cases.
Ticketless persons who might at
tempt to gain entrance thru windows
and coal chutes were watched for by
the police
New York republicans supporting
Justice Hughes said today they were
informed from reliable sources two
DAYS ago that under no circumstances
would Colonel Roosevelt support Jus
tice Hughes.
All Want Harmony.
Today there was considerable talk
OF peace plans. altho 1t was said Moth
ing definite had been decided upon.
Both sides seemed desirous Of bring
4 ing about harmony II possible.
Among progressive leaders the plan
most favored. according to Walter
Brown, Of Ohio, was motion for a
peace committee formally offered the
convention by George w. Perkins,
thus placing the whole question in the
hands OF the delegates
With the members of the committee
on resolutions already selected by their
delegations. it is becoming evident that
the work OF the committee as whole
will be one Of elimination rather than
of construction Almost every man on
!. the committee is loaded with planks Of
his own making, and many of them
have taken care Of extra declarations
for outside friends who feel called up
on to outline the policy Of the party
for the next four, years.
Platform to Suit Roosevelt.
Z ,nere Is one genera! purpose better
defined than any other on the part Of
the leading members Of the committee
1t is to give the party declarations such
an advance tone as will meet the de-
mands Of Colonel Roosevelt and his fol-
lowers and to this end they have made
close study of the colonel's recent ut
terances along the lines of prepared
ness Here ard there q word in onn4si-
ton to extensive preparedness is en-
countered but the opposition is in the
minority.
The Roosevelt idea on preparedness.
1t Is thought /, will prevail.
Situation Unchanged.

conventions assembled today there was
