Justice Hughes Will Not Lead
Forlorn Hope With Roose
velt on Third Ticket

Chicago, June S.-The Republican and Progressive
conventions today got down to business, the former
venng at the Coliseum and the latter being scheduled
to meet at at the Auditorium while the fight for supre
acy which is being conducted with harmony is waged
without cessation.
Leading Progressives declared today that Roosevelt
will be nominated by the Progressive convention regard
less Of what done at the Coliseum in the council
rooms of the Republican party leaders.
William Allen White of Kansas insisted that Roose-
welt will be nominated before midnight tonight and that
Governor Johnson of California will be nominated for
vice president by the Progressives.
Only certain result appeared among the maze OF
reports and rumors and that that Hughes became
stronger from hour to hour.
Developments made it appear that neither convention
would to the point of making nomination before
Friday perhaps later. Republicans, with word from
Hughes are in doubt whether the justice will accept
the nomination if third party ticket headed by Roose
welt takes the field.
Roosevelt again stalked forward a competitor for
Republican denomination.
Senator Albert Fall of New Mexico announced soon
after the convention to order that later today he
would present the Of Roosevelt to the Republican
convention and demand his nomination.

the Germans against the French and
the Austrians against the Italians.
With the death of Earl Kitchener
there was at first fear that England
had suffered an irreparable loss, but
it is evident that there are others who
have the situation well in hand and
who will be able to carry on the work
he had begun. His great task-that
of organizing the army-had been
completed, and it was the beginning
of new era that was presented,
where new man could step in with
out Generalization to the forces.
Russians Take Thousands.
| London, June 8.-From the Pripet
rive- southwark to the Roumanian
frontier the Russians, according to
Petrograd, are continuing to develop
successes against the Germans and
Austrians. In the fighting along this
front of some $50 miles the Russians
already have made prisoners of 4S0
officers and more than $4,000 man
and captured 27 guns and more than
SO machine guns.
In this offensive, which is declared
to be a carefully co-ordinated move
ment, the Russians are said to have
plentiful supply of ammunition and
men and with the roads now in good
conditions their maneuvers are eX-
pected to develop swiftly. The num-
ber of the Teutonic allies facing the
Russians is reported to be about 600,-
900 men.
Stree the repulsc of two German
infantry attacks between Fort VauX
and Damloup Monday night the fight
ing in the Verdun region has again
developed into artillery duels with
the Fort Vaux-Damloup sector the
center of the greatest violence. No
material gains for either side are re-
ported.
The Austrians are still being held
from further advances and with heavy
losses by the Italians, according to
Rome.
In the Valdarsa and Pasublo sectors
and on the front between the Poslna
and Astico rivers vicious Austrian at
tacks have been put down and the
Italians have even gained some ground
against the Austrians on the western
slopes of Monte Cengio.
The Turks in Asia Minor, near Bal
burt and Erzingan, have again at
tempted an offensive against the Rus
slams. but Petrograd says their efforts
failed.
A successful raid has been made by
the Russians against the Turks in the
vicinity of Khaninkin. near the Persian
border northeast of Bagdad.

New York, June S.-The great
spring offensive of the Allies undoubt-
edly has begun, and thus far fighting
is proceeding at lively rate on more
than 500 miles of battle front. If
the expected is to materialize the
struggle will extend until three times
this stretch is involved in the death
grapple.
Three factors have been awaited
men, munitions and good roads. The
men have been brought forward in
vast numbers and thoroughly drilled
for the tasks before them. Russia,

and declared that they will turn their efforts toward
pushing Myron T. Herrick for vice president
Roosevelt is still held by betting favorite for
the Republican nomination. He refuses to go to Chicago.

AS the StalWart faction are coming
to recognize as a certainty that Roose-
welt will be nominated by the Pro
gressives, there is apparently more OF
disposition to yield to the inevitable
While there are more delegates IA
voring Hughes today than ever be-
fore, it is recognized that he will not
lead forlorn hope, and that it would
be that with Roosevelt leading the
Progressives.
Should the Progressives proceed
this evening to nominate Roosevelt
and Johnson, as many of the most
radical of the Progressives desire
and the Republicans should then NOM
mate Roosevelt, who would the Re
publicans nominate for the vice pres.
idency? 1t is not expected that they
would nominate johnson, and the
probability is that there would be a
double organization in the campaign
maintaining the separate Progressive
party. In this contingency there will
he an interesting problem presented.
Chicago, June S.-The elimination OF
Roosevelt, if he is eliminated, from
the list of available candidates of the
Republican party is generally believed
to also eliminate Justice Hughes, be-
cause it is believed Roosevelt will be
sure to run on the Progressive ticket,
while Hughes will not retire from the
Supreme court to lead the forlorn hope
of divided party.
It is claimed that Roosevelt has the
power to name the nominee of the
Republican party providing he does
not name himself But it is evident
that there are several strings attached
to the selection by Roosevelt, and that
as matter Of fact the stalwarts ir
reality only stand ready to nominate
any stalwart whom Roosevelt may
select. AS Roosevelt's chief occupa-
tion is not the selection of stalwart
candidate for the party, apparently the

Saturday, Imperial Valley Day at
the San Diego exposition, is to be a
"surc enough" holiday in all the towns
of the valley. President B. R. Brun-
dage of the Imperial County Bankers
Association last night announced that
the banks had decided to close Satur-
day. Following the action of the
Board of Supervisors declaring a
county holiday, many more automo-
bile owners are permitted to make the
trip to join in the celebration of what
is expected by the exposition officials
to be the biggest day of the year.
A telegram from A. M. Nelson last
night announced that all Imperial Val
ley automobiles on Saturday will be
allowed free entrance and parking
space at the exposition, although the
occupants will all be required to pay
the usual admission fee. Everyone
who makes the trip is urged to reg
lister at the committee headquarters in
the Third street entrance of the U. s.
Grant hotel in order that their friends
may ascertain where they are stop
ping. Nelson's message also stated
that Mayor E. E. Capps will give an
address of hearty welcome to lmper-
ial Valley people in addition to the
address by President G. A. Davidson
of the exposition.
All who can do SO are requested to
wear light-colored clothes In the pa
rade at San Diego, as it is desired by
the committee to make the parade
a distinctively Imperial Vallev pageant.
Cars should also be washed if possible
upon arrival at San Diego. Every
driver is urged to look out for the
"other fellow" on the trip to San Die
go, On the theory that he also wants
to reach the exposition and be in the
parade. For this reason distress signs
should be needed. Much better pro-
gress can be made on the concrete

party is as badly divided as it was
four years ago, though affairs have
not reached the bitter condition of
that period, and there is hope that this
will not result.
The great demonstration which took
place in the Progressive convention
yesterday afternoon when Roosevelt s
name was mentioned and the conven-
tion went mad with it's continued cries
of eve want Teddy" is taken to give
assurance that Roosevelt is certain to
be the nominee of that party at least,
regardless of the attitude of the Re-
publicans. With him on the Progress
sive ticket will again, in all probabil-
ity, be Governor Hiram Johnson of
California, providing Roosevelt is not
to be the nominee of the Republic
ans.
No bridges have been burned as yet,
and there still is the possibility of a
compromise being effected, though to
date the compromises suggested by the
two factions have simply implied in
each case that the other faction shall
surrender.
Roosevelt Certain Nominee.
Chicago, June. 8.-All efforts to
tame the mil ogressives and
bring about the ssleca ion of some can
didate other than Theodore Roosevelt
by the Bull Moose convention have
failed.
After a dozen attempts before the
convention was called to order, the
thermometers" finally accepted the
idea that it was only a question of
time when the colonel would be the
Progressive nominee. The main issue
was the ability Of the leaders to hold
down the rampant Moose.
It was asserted freely before the
convention was called to order that
Roosevelt had given his personal as
surance that he surely would accept
the nomination in the event of the
Republicans naming Justice Charles
E. Hughes. This statement has been
made before and denied. This time
it came with show Of authority.
1t closely followed an attempt to
frame resolution, to be presented at
the opening of the convention, pro-
viding for confer ence between the
Republican and Progressive leaders

Roosevelt Republican, Favorite With Chicago Bettor

looking to a joint ticket. 1t was
fathered by M. d. Vincent of Colorado.
He recited that it would be well to
name conference committee and he
went on to say that the conventions
ought to join in making the nomina-
ton "limited to the man who sue
ceeded William Mckinley as presi-
dent"
The Vincent resolution was consid-
cred by the party leaders. 1t was in
tended to provide harmony, but it har-
monized only with the views of the
radical Progressive faction. 1t ex-
cluded everybody and anybody as a
candidate but Theodore Roosevelt.
Only Theodore Roosevelt can pre-
vent the placing in the field of both
4 Progressive and Republican ticket
This was the consensus of opinion
among the political leaders when
Charles d. Hilles, chairman Of the
Republican national committee, called
the G. o. P. convention to order at
11:27 o'clock today.
If the colonel wants to promise to
support the Republican nominee he
can name that individual, so long as
it is not himself. Then the Repub-
licans will cooperate with the Pro-
gressives. But, if, in no circumstan-
ces, will he support Justice Charles
E. Hughes in good faith, then there
will be no peace negotiations and the
Republicans will nominate Hughes and
demand that he sacrifice himself to
the party and make the race regard
less of the consequences.
Enthusiasm Is Absent.
The opening of the convention was
marked by absence of the usual en-
thusiasm. The only noise was that
furnished by the bands. The dele
gates were all in their seats at II
o'clock, but for some unexplained rea-
son the calling of the convention was
deferred until 11:27 o'clock. The time
taps of the gavel was followed by a
round Of applause at Colonel Stone of
Baltimore, the sergeant-at-arms
walked to the front with the time-hon-
ored announcement:
"The aisles will please be cleared
and all delegates seated. The police
will kindly enforce this ORDER"
Senator Warren G. Harding, who
as temporary chairman, delivered the
conventions keynote address, arrived
at 11:25 o'clock. He was greeted with
round of cheers.

time has been announced to start for
San Diego, but each driver is planning
to make the trip whenever he desires.
An early start tomorrow morning is
suggested in order to give more time
for resting. Several cars were to
leave today from FL Centro. One
hundred and fifty cars had been reg
istered at headquarters to 10 o'clock
this morning. Each Of the cars will
carry an average Of five persons. The
close of today is expected to see a
total of more than $50 names of car
owners planning to celebrate the big

of munitions, and all assurances are
given that that country now has a
world of munitions ready for use.
At present the fighting is in the
southeast and the west, but word is
being awaited with eagerness from
the northeast and the Balkans on the
south, in each of which cases there is
evidence of preparation for the great
offensive.
It is the evident intent of the Allies
to force the struggle over the entire
front to prevent the concentration of

The point of contest is that no

that the bonds can only be sold for
that purpose.

COLORADO RISES
EALF-FOOT IN DAY

Last nights telegraphic report on
the Colorado river from the Reclama-
tion Service to the Press showed rise
of I. half a foot in day, reaching
the 21.3 foot level. There is reason
to believe the river will continue to
rise rapidly from this time until about
two weeks, when the crest of the flood
for the summer is about due. There
