On progressive principles Cummins
would be acceptable to many, but it
was pointed out that he is a strong
pacifist, which is in conflict with the
whole trend OF both the Republican
and Progressive ideals on the prepar-

Cummins stock had quite boom this
morning among Republicans.

Endorse Suffrage.

Coliseum, Chicago, June 9.--After a
lively fight in the committee, which
may later find it's way to the floor of
the convention, the Republican plat
form builders endorsed woman suf-
frage. The vote, taken at the con-
clusion of extended debate, was 26 to
Fl. Immediately afterward opponents
of the suffrage plank threatened to
demand reconsideration, claiming a
number of members of the resolutions
committee were absent when the vote
was taken. At 2:05 p. M, however,
Senator Borah said the motion to re-
consider had not been made; that he
did not think it would be, and, if it
was, he would keep the committee in
session all night before permitting re-
consideration.
The plank of Americanism was
adopted, calling for the vigorous en-
forcement of all American rights
treaty, personal and property.
The committee defeated plank ia
voring universal military training. The
vote was 33 to 10.
The plank denouncing the Democrat
ic administration on it's foreign policy
and calling for full protection of Amer
lean rights was adopted. Congressman

Seeking Compromise.

Chicago, June 9.-After listening to
every other possible basis of compro-
mise, it looked this morning as though
the "compromise" that would be ef-
fected would be for both parties to
nominate Roosevelt.
Late yesterday both parties ap-
pointed conference committees, and al
their meeting the only name men
toned as a possibility of union was
that of Roosevelt. 1t is recognized as
impossible for the parties to unite on
any other candidate and as the Pro
gressives are enthusiastically unani-
nous for their candidate and there is
no candidate before the Republican
convention that has awakened any
thing like the same degree Of enthu-
s;asm, it seemed this morning that
his nomination by the two parties was
almost a certainty.
Yet time has been reached in the
development of the convention when
it may be swung eff on almost any
tangent. When the chairman of the
Maryland Republican central commit
tee wired Roosevelt to come to Chi
cago and he responded that he would
come if the Republican convention SO
desired, the field was opened wide
and if the Republicans today should
send an invitation to him, it would be
taken as establishing the certainty Of
his nomination.
If Roosevelt is to be nominated, will
the Republicans Go the consistent
thing by nominating as his running
mate Hiram johnson of California
Such nomination would present the
ideal geographical arrangement, the
East and the West being represented
and the nomination would be evidence
of the sincerity of the Republicans II
taking up progressive principles. But
here a compromise may come in. The
Republicans may insist on running
mate who will represent a more mod
crate type of politics than that OF
Roosevelt and Johnson.
This morning it was, in fact, who'll
ly impossible to tell what any houl
Of the day might bring forth.

Conference Committees of the
Two Parties Fail Thus Far
To Develop Any Possible
Basis of Agreement.

Chicago June 9-The political world is without form
and void.
The Republican convention is in the chaotic
dton any American convention ever experienced.
The conference of the committees Of the two parties
was in session until after midnight last night but found
common ground.
The Republican conferees agreed that they would be
willing to accept Roosevelt the nominee of their party
if the convention could be brought to accept him. but
stated that they did not believe the convention could be
brought to that position
The situation presented at the two conventions is
chaotic beyond any precedent in American politics. and the
situation apparently is growing no better
The Republican delegates favoring the nomination Of
Roosevelt have been called into conference with Repub
can leaders, and they planning continuance of the
peace conference with the Progressves today The Roose
ve delegates told that the Republican conferees had
in good faith offered to accept any strong candidate ac
ceptabe to Roosevelt except himself but that this Of1er
had been refused.
The Roosevelt delegation, it was explained had been
called to the conference they would have clear u1-
dersandng of the situation In other Words 1t was held
that the peace conference had failed.
Borah said today there would be no further peace
until the Republican convention has an opportunity
for showing the strength Of the various candidates. 1t IS
held that the only way Roosevelt get the Republican
nomination is enough votes the floor OF the
Republican convention to win the nomination,
The Roosevelt delegates were told today by George
Meier that the Republicans had offered to compromise on
ticket headed by Sherman of Illinois and with Fairbanks
for vice president This did not enhuse the Roosevelt
Republican delegates.
Several Roosevelt delegates declared today that they
will have sufficient votes in the Republican convention
to nominate Roosevelt the fifth sixth ballot They
,are counting the feeling that Hughes is eliminated by
tie fact that his nomination implies third ticket and
he will not consent to surrender his position on the S
preme Court bench to to certain defeat and on the
further fact that other candidate has developed any
m1ked strength in the convention.
Old Guard leaders today however, insisted that
Hughes would be nominated the first or second ballot
though Roosevelt Republicans declared they would not
vote for Hughes and will not compromise on Sherman

actually are, the progressive national
organization no longer offers the
means whereby we can make these
convictions effective in our national
life. Under such circumstances, our
duty is to do the best we can and
not to sulk because our leaders prin-

to face the situation and cndeavor to
get out of it the best that it can be

This was the situation at the

clearly evident that unless cata-
clysm occurred, the presidential cleo

either the republican or democratic
nominee. The present administration
during its three years life has been
guilty of shortcomings more signal
than those of any administration since
the days of Buchanan. From the
standpoint of national honor and in

to relax the spring of the national
will and to deaden the national con.
science.

SIR ROGER YAWNS IN COURT
WHILE BEING TRIED FORTREASON

The prisoner smiled and nodded to
several acquaintances as he entered.
He listened calmly while the clerk
read the lengthy charge, reciting his
activities in connection with the Irish
rebellion and his attempts to induce
Irish soldiers, prisoners in Germany,
to desert from the British army. He
displayed keen interst in the pre-
liminary proceedings, watching his
counsel, Michael Doyle of Philad II
phia, closely.
Daniel Bailey, an Irish soldier ar
raigned with Easement at the pre-
lininary hearing, will be tried sepa-
rately. It is believed he will receive
lenient treatment because of the evil
dence he furnished the crown.
There was no crowd around the
court because of the advance notice
that admission would be by ticket
alone.
Attorney Smith made an exhaus-
tive opening statement, recitlng case
ment's nineteen years in the consular
and other services, his thorough
familiarity with government methods
and consequently his great personal
Easement listened,
apparently bored. He yawned several
times while Smith was talking.
