LINCOLN. May ITO the Editor Of
The Bee; Permit me TO suggest that
the only certain way to be rid Of dande
lions In the lawn is to SOW and maintain
sorne Of the clovers, preferably the white
clover, with tho blue grass. Burn, sell
or give away the lawnmower; instead
use some fine stable litter. II the soil
is rich with humus. this need not be
done Many Of tho Kentucky blue grass
fields are not pastured during the spring
and summer; whom the seed is ripe the
farmers gather tho seed with a stripping
machine, some Of them run by hand.
They save and sell the seed 10 us at a
greater profit per acre than any other
crop we. or they. can grow; then they
have the crop Of green grass left. which
In more profitable for feeding purposes
than the same land will produce in any
kind Of ensilage placed in n silo. Stock
win sat 1t. and any amount Of trouble
and labor will be saved. When we NOW
this young blue grass in the spring. or
any other time. we destroy the lungs Of
the plant through which II inhales the
oxygen and nitrogen OF the air; that
feeds the dandelions and keeps them
thrifty. II we kill or weaken the dande-
lion enemy. the perennial bluegrass, or
its nurse crop, tho cloyers, we are sup
plying natures requirements for the pro-
motion or the dandelion's activities.
have tried out this proposition both in
kentucky and In Nebraska and know
whereof ! speak. Cut out the lawnmower
and cohabit with natures laws Let us
not be Bourbons. never forgetting nor
learning anything. but simply take the
dandelion by the horns and throw him
out Of ours and into the lawns Of our
neighbors who need exercise and are in
yitlng trouble. Yours truly.

For Wilson
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-08
BY HAYWOOD BROUN.


Chicago, June Senator Harding
pet weasel is part dachshund. In sound
ing his keynote speech at the opening
OF the Republican National Convention
this morning the temporary chairman
took pains to please German sympa-
thlzers. He declared that the country's
prosperity was due TO gold sluiced
from the river OF blood, poured out by
the horrlfying sacrifice OF millions OF
our fellowmen." And added, God for
bid that we should boast a prosperity
wrought in such waste OF human life!'
Later he was applauded vigorously
by q portion OF the huge audience In
the Coliseum when he said: zone must
be human to be an American, he must
have human sympathies and human
loves, and | should pity the foreign
born and the sons OF the foreign-born
whose very souls are not wrung by the
cataclysmal sorrow Of the Old World.
For the most part Senator Harding's
speech was cheap. Although he spoke
for more than an hour it would be dlf-
ficult to find any definite statement or
belief in his address aside from an un-
swerving admiration for Washington
Lincoln and John Paul Jones and a
marked sntipathy to all things Demo
cratic. The speech aroused little en-
thusiasm. In fact, no demonstration
in the first session of the convention
lated for more than one minute.
Harding Misses Opportunity.
The poor quality Of Senator Hard
ing's address was a surprise. Much
sympathy is being expressed for Sam
Blythe, who predicted yesterday that
Harding would win the nomination by
virtue OF his eloquence. In fact, sew
eral political snarps had considered
Harding in the running. but opinion
was pretty general that he had missed
his chance.
The failure was surprising. Certain
ly there was nothing at fault in the
stage setting. The big Coliseum was
crowded and the delegates and audi
ence were Immediately attentive when
Harding began his speech. The Sena-
tor is a strikingly handsome man. His
clothes are all right, and his voice is
excellent. One or two of his gestures
sre emphatic, particularly a right hand
uppercut, which he starts below his
knees. But his words doomed and died
and his gestures ended in air Nothing
that Harding said came echoing back
TO him.
Though he wagged hi. head and de-
claimed, an the travail of Life, Lib
erty and the Pursuit of Happiness the
American soul was born" it availed
him nothing. Nor did anybody leap up
with glad cries when the Senator low

HUGHES WIEN SEEK
TO HASTEN VOTE.
Leaders Hopeful q. o. p.
BaIloting May Begin
Tonight.

Chicago, June THE Hughes cam
raign managers began TO fear tonight
that il the Justice was not nominated
by at least the third ballot, his
chances Of winning the Republican
nomination would rapidly vanish. The
anxiety Of the Hughes men for quick
action was so pronounced that their
leaders were hopeful to-day that the
balloting would begin tomorrow night.
The "old guard" leaders plan to take
one or two ballots on Friday night and
then have the convention adjourn until
Saturday. so that the usual conferences
can be held. At these conferences the
allies expect 10 get together on q can
didate. and then forcing his nomina-
ton. II the plan goes through the
Hughes men believe that the Justice
will be put out of the running.
Once the allies discover the strength
OF the Hughes support the real drive
will begin. practical" politics will be
played by practical" men in the Gus
tomary way, and the spokesman of the
allies haven't doubt it will be as sue
cessful as in the past.
The Hughes managers experienced
and practical politicians knowing this
are directing their efforts toward pre-
venting any adjournment for complete
ness as their only chance of success
Justice Hughes needs only thirty
eight more votes to insure his nomi-
nation on the second ballot, according
TO the claims of the Hughes campaign
managers tonight. They were not
sure of this number They said IL
was based on information brought 10
them by delegates, most OF whom were
strangers and whose reputation for
veracity they did not know
However. they were confident OF
nearly 400 votes on the first ballot.
IL has practically been decided that
the name of Justice Hughes will be the
first presented Frank Hitchcock, who
has been directing the practical" part
that Alabama had agreed to pass and
that Arizona the next state on the list,
would give way 10 New York. Gov

An. effort to shatter the claim that
Hughes is a powerful vote getter was
made by Roosevelt Republicans to-day,
with election figures from New York.
This statement was given out:
as Charles +. Hughes a vote getter!
Delegates 10 the Republican National
Convention may be interested in the
following figures: In 1908. in the GU
bernatorial election. New York State,
Mr. Hughes ran behind the rest of the
Republican ticket. Hughes ran $4,000
votes behind Taft; the Hughes vote
was $4,000 less than that received by
