BY EARL GOODWIN.

CHICAGO, June 7.-William Jennings
Bryan is a real reporter. This will in
terest especially the group of trained
and intensely competent reporters at
the State Department who used to go In
and draw a series of blanks from the
one-time Secretary of State. AFTER
having failed to get word from Mr..
Bryan, these aforesaid reporters would
rush out and write substantial pieces
based on this essence of nothing that
the great commoner had handed out
And now here's Bryan writing pieces
about this republican convention. He
goes shyIy nosing about a hotel corri-
dor today, looking for something. He
approached a newspaper correspondent
whom he knows and asked him THIS
question: If you were IN my piacf'
would you write what you near them
tell YOU or write what you think?
James J. Corbett, once heavyweight
champion, looked in on national repuo-
ltcan headquarters today: Il had TO be
at the ringside when the gong rang.
he remarked
Former Representative Prouty OF
Iowa, whose speeches on ia, taxatlon p IA IA
the Capitol, is here as an alternate TO
the republican convention. Represent
ative Walters of Pennsylvania, who
served one term on the District COM
mittee with Judge Prouty, is here as
part of the steering apparatus of the
bull moose convention.
Frank Hitchcock generally knows the
inside route 10 anything, but he had TO
choose the outside way today SO many
celebrity seekers crowded into his Of
fee TO shake hands with him and bother
him in other ways that he closed his
door and went downstairs by the fire
escape on the outside of the hotel.
The most remarkable sign in the Con-
1ress Hotel is this one: Richard j.
Barr, republican candidate for Attorney
General, room K14."
Newspaper correspondents who saw
the sign this morning nearly fell owe
with surprise There have been candi
dates for everything around here from
municipal clock ~inder TO President but
no one yet has offered to run for
an office in the cabinet. With this in
mind I visited Mr.. Barr's room. There
q most charming lady met me:
"I am Mrs. Barr" she said.

c. O.P. CONVENTION
GETS UNDER WAY;
HURRAH IS LACKING

none in the world" said he. This
brought out the most enthusiastic ap-
plauSe so far.
There was another roaring demon
stration when he declared that repub-
lican policies promised all the means
for the expanse of adequate defense.
There was laughter when he referred
to President Wilson's speaking trip for
preparedness and declared the Presi-
dent might better have devoted his ef-
forts to the democratic majority in
Congress. He accredited the republican
minority in the Senate with having put
the real things in the army bill.
I'VE love peace and justice and we
intend to have Them said he. and
we are not too proud to fight for
them"
The reference to President Wilson's
celebrated remark brought applause
and jeers.
All through Senator Hardings ref
erence to the tariff he drew applause.
especially his declaration that he be-
lieved in a tariff that gave protection
and prosperity to America first.
There 0-as more applause when he
referred to the war munitions traffic
and declared it had produced pros
perity at the cost of human lives.
Demonstrations Are Lacking.
Twenty minutes before the hour set
for the convention to be called to or
der great reaches of vacant seats
marked the floor and galleries. AS the
band played the police tried to make
the delegates, crowding the aisles,
take their seats.
The order was given to clear the
aisles at 1859. and the police began
moving out all who were not dele
gates and forcing TIE delegates to
their sections.
There was u notable lack of demon
stration for well known men. Senator
Lodge came quietly in and took his
seat unnoticed. The same was true of
Senator Murphy, Gov. Whitman and
other well known men.
Great fight" said Mr.. Murphy to
Secretary Reynolds as he surveyed the
crowd from the speakers platform.
Chauncey NJ. DepeW was the first of
the well known men to be recognized by
the delegates and spectators as he made
his way to the row of the New York
seats. round of handclapping
greeted him.
Crane, Penrose and other leaders passed
to their seats without recognition.
Claim Control of Platform.
Frank H. Hitchcock, the chief Hughes
boomer. said that the Hughes men
would control the committee on reso-
lutions. Mr.. Hitchcock said after re-
ceiving reports from caucuses held yes
terday and last night that the Hughes
forces would see that the platform con-
tains vigorous declaration for ma
tional defense coupled with a strict and
impartial neutrality so far as conflicts
with other nations are concerned.
The republican national committee
held a brief session at 1890 o'clock, at
which the temporary roll of delegates
and alternates was finally approved
and votes of thanks were given. Chair
man Hilles, Secretary Reynolds, Treas
urer Sheldon and Sergeant-at-arms
Stone for their services in connection

HAS OLIVE BRANCH
FOR COL. ROOSEVELT
Republican Committee to Re-
fleet His Views in the
Party Platform.
WILL MAKE DECLARATION
STRONG ON AMERICANISM
Pronouncement on All Issues So
Strong He Cannot Oppose
Nominee, Is Purpose.

CHICAGO, June with the mem
bers Of the republican committee on
resolutions selected by their delegations
it is becoming evident that the work
of the committee as a whole will be
one of elimination rather than of con-
struction. Almost every man on the
committee is loaded with planks of his
own making, and many of them have
taken the care of extra decla rations
for outside friends who feel called upon
to outline the policy of the party for
the next four years.
If there is one general purpose bet
ter defined than any other on the part
of the leauing members of the COM
mittee 1t is to give the party declara- =
tions such an advanced tone as will
meet the demands Of Col Roosevelt
and his followers. and to this end they
have made close study of the coloners
recent utterances along the lines of
preparedness.
Will Pay Respect to Colonels Views
I'VE shall meet the coloners wishes
in this respect and will endeavor to
make the pronouncement so strong
that he cannot afford to oppose any
man that may be placed in nomina
tion," said Senator Smoot, who. al
though he is not member of the res
olutions committee, is in close touch
with what is being done toward fran
ing the platform. I'VE shall declare
for navy that will be a real protec-
| ton both in size and efficiency and up
to the latest requirements, and for such
other military measures as will meet
the demands Of all emergencies"
Here and there opposition to exten-
sive armament is encountered, but the
opposition is in such complete minor
ity as to render its protest almost neg
ligible.
The Roosevelt idea on preparedness
Will, 1t is thought, prevail The com
mittee also will go far toward meeting
Mr.. Roosevelt's views on the question
of national distinctiveness, and with
this object in view there will be a
strong declaration for Americanism
first, last and all the time. at all times,
and at home and abroad.
Relating to Hyphenated Americans.
There viii be no condemnation of the
so-called hyphenated American in ex-
act terms. but" as a member Of the
committee said. "it will be possible to
read that language into the document"
In addition to the platform work by
delegates on the ground, it became
known today that DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler Of New York. a member of the
New York delegation, has been giving
much attention to the party declara
tions, and is expected to arrive tomor-
row with the complete draft of plat
form. Dr. Butler has had much ex-
perience in this line of work, and the
committee anticipates his assistance
with qualification. 1t is understood
that portions of his platform are based
upon the New York state platform.

Factions to Agree on Con-

BITTERNESS OF FEELING
A BARRIER TO PROGRAM
Bradshaw and Miller Might Get
Together, But the Latter
Balks on Hogan.
BY EARL GOODWIN.

CHICAGO. June 7.-For twenty-four
hours otter the national committee re-
1used to seat any of the three contest
ing sets or delegates to the republican
national convention from the District
OF Columbia persistent efforts were
made to compromise the situation.
So far these efforts have proved fu-
tile. mainly because of the feeling
against the Hogan Williston faction,
shared equally by the other two sets
of aspirants.
Members of the national committee
advised compromise, and there were
rumors that the national committee in
tended to take further action and prob
ably seat one of the factions. Rumor
favored the Hogan ticket.
There never was the slightest doubt
about the feeling of friendship held by
the national committee members for
Aaron Bradshaw. and expressions of
this friendship were sent to him, with
the hope that he and his opponents
could get together.
The main point of difference seemed
to be the matter of a national commit
teeman, but Aaron Bradshaw has told
every one here that he would concede
almost anything on that point.
Wardman Friend Suggested.
One member of the national commit
tee suggested that the national COM
mitteeman could be some friend of
Harry Wardman, who is credited with
being one of the personal supporters
of the Bradshaw Marshall ticket.
Hogan's friends here said that they
would not compromise with any one.
and expressed considerab BILE confidence
that their claims would meet with sue
cess Robert l. Miller seemed to make
an effort to get with Bradshaw. Miller
said that he would not compromise
with Hogan.
In this situation the matter comes
to the attention of the newly appoint
ed committee on credentials.

The naval establishment will have a
particularly fine display in the parade

be about 5000 men in the navy line
1t will be headed by Franklin d. Roose-
welt, assistant secretary of the navy.
accompanied by the chiefs of all the
naval bureaus, all in civilian attire.
Secretary Daniels said he would march
in the parade. but for the fact that he
will be in st. Louis on Flag day. He ap-
pointed a committee consisting of
Michael D. Shaffer, chief clerk of the
bureau of construction and repair;
Charles w. Stewart. librarian. and Will
liam NJ Smith. chief clerk of the bu-
reau of yards and docks, to arrange
the details of the naval representation.
About 450 clerks and other employees of
the department proper already have
volunteered to march in line and it is
expected that at least fifty more will
do SO. The contingent from the navy
yard will number nearly 5000 men and
include several floats showing air craft
guns, a hydro-aeroplane. torpedo tubes
and models of dreadnaughts and other
war craft.

Americanism and Preparedness.
The progressives stand for Ameri-
canism and preparedness. They stand
for an Americanism which is not quail
iied by differences in blood or birth or
creed. They stand for preparedness of
the body and of the spirit, industrial
and social as well as military, with
universal service for the defense Of
the nation.
"In the midst of changing conditions,
unparalleled in history, we cannot
even forecast the problems that will
confront America in the next four
years. The chief issue today is one of
leadership, the supreme need of man.
1t has been said that every great move
ment in human affairs is incarnated in
a living personality. This nation needs
a leader in this hour whose abstract
promises have been tested by concrete
performance. Again, we will speak
plainly.

touched with partisan prejudice or per-

Two great parties claim him as their

he does alike the confidence Of the
American people and the unErudgtns
