Citizens Were Hospitable.
The citizens of Chicago tried hard
to uphold the reputation OF the city
as the convention city of the country
and to make up for the rough deal
handed out by the weather man. There
were numerous fetes OF one kind or an.
other planned for the pleasure of both
man and woman visitors, and though
the continuous rain caused the aban
donment OF some OF these. most OF
them were highly successful. Notable
among the entertainers was the Ham

house throughout the week, with free
refreshments and the services of "a

On Wednesday night the Hamiltonians
invited all visiting newspaper men to

the Republicans INDUCED In social
pleasures. partly because there were
good many women among their dele

tion and gatherings OF suffragists all
contributed to the society aspect Of
the week.
Before the convention opened there
was the greatest demand for tickets
ever known on like occasion. The
prices scared until 5000 for q set
looked cheap and often was refused.
The opening day was SO lacking in
popular interest that the price began
rapidly to drop and tickets for the
Thursday session could be had for
$3.50 each. Then things livened up.
and on the expectation that O candi.

price Of the pasteboards jumped up
again. The shameful flooding OF the
hall with green tickets by the local
politicians rather discouraged those
who had paid out considerable sums
for genuine admission cards. but on
Saturday morning the trade was brisk
and the prices good.
1t did not take long for the people
to find out that there were livelier
scenes In the Auditorium than in the
Coliseum. the early days Of the con.
vention, and the demand for Moose
tickets was large.

Their First Ballots.
Approximately a million Illinois
women are to cast their votes for
the first time for presidential
electors. A few early canvassers
showed these women were almost
overwhelmingly for Wilson, be-
cause "he kept the country out CT

the male pacificists, plus the
commercial content, plus the dis
gruntled progressives. plus the
railroad employees, plus the or
ganized labor vote, plus the social
worker vote, plus the anti-hy-
phenats vote, plus the Jewish
vote, plus the semi-radical vote,
plus the anti-machine vote, plus
the anti-Wall street vote, and So

made it quite evident that Wilson
would get the electoral vote of
| Illinois.
The normal republican major
ity in Illinois is very large. The
combined vote of Taft and Roose-
welt four years ago was 235,023
more tina nthe vote cast for Will
son. In 1914 Raymond Robins,
as progressive candidate for Unit
ed States senator polled 2O3,027
votes, while Roger Sullivan, DEM,
polled 573,403 and l.. Y. Sher-
man was elected with 590,66l.
All of which--until the republic
cans woke up-led them to be-
lieve that Illinois with its 29 votes
in the electoral college was per-
fectly safe for any republican can
didate who might be named.
But that was before they woke
up.

ILLINOIS G. o. p. LEADERS
ADMIT STATE FOR WILSON

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-That ILL
nois would go for Wilson IL the
election were held today is frank
ly admitted by the republican
managers in charge of the state
campaign.
At the same time they claim
the state for the republican state
ticket and express a hope that the
coming days may turn the tide of
sentiment to Hughes.

age to claim Illinois for Wilson.
There are too many influences at
work on the republican side, and
too great normal republican ma
jority. to be overcome. But
when the republican managers
themselves tell me 1t will go for
Wilson / can do nothing but ac-
cept their judgment.
Two Campaigns.
The state and national cam
paign are being separately han
died. The state headquarters are
in the Great Northern hotel, while
the national headquarters are in
the Conway building. At nation
al headquarters Western Chair
manTobe Hart Is still claiming
Illinois and a hundred superflu-
! Gus votes in the electoral college
for Hughes.
The truth is Hughes has been
thrown overheard by the state
/ managers in the hope that by so
tightening the ship its crew may
get to shore.
The state ticket is headed by
Frank o. Lowden, formerly con-
gresham from one of the central
districts of the state, and has on
1t Medill Mccormick, the first
Bull Mooser to gig-back into the
party of his fathers" He should
have said father-in-law. Mrs. Ms
Cormick is daughter of Mark
Hanna, while Mccormick moth
er was a daughter of Joseph Me-
dill of the Chicago Tribune. The
Hanna estate and the Tribune es-
tate are helping defray the ex-
penses. of the state campaign,
while the Pullman palace car es-
tate-Lowden married one of the
three Pullman daughters-is like
wise helping to underwrite the
state activities.
! Women for Wilson.
I It's fine, rich, strong, disin-
terested campaign, and now that
Candidate c. f. Hughes has been
sewed up in a bag and fed to the
whale, there is right good pros
pect that Colonel (by cour-
tesy) Lowden will be elected gov
ernor by hundred (more or
less) thousand majority, and
that Medill Mccormick, perhaps,
may come to Washington to rem
der disinterested service for the
party of Lincoln, Hanna and Pen
rose.
The women of Illinois, 1t seems,
are going to elect Wilson. Incl
dentally, Mrs. Mccormick claims
much credit for getting for the
Illinois women the right to vote
"a right which does not extend
