most democrats now see before the
party hot campaign instead of a
"walkover," as would surely prove the
case with divided republican vote as
was the case when President Wilson
was elected four years ago by minor
ity of the popular vote.
NATIONAL COM
R. W. Austin, Jesse Littleton and H.
Clay Evans made winning fight at
the Chicago republican convention to
defeat John j.. Gore for the place Of
national committeeman. Littleton
was chosen by one vote when the dele
gate from Memphis broke instructions.
The case has been carried to the new
national committee and by it has been
referred to sub committee for final
adjustment. There seems little likeli-
hood of the subcommittee reversing
the action of our delegates.

BRITISH WAR LORD LOST.
Earl Kitchener and Staff Go Down When
Vessel Is Sunk by Mine.

Monday night of last week the Brit
ish cruiser Hampshire was sunk by a
mine off the Orkney island with Lord
Kitchener and all his staff. Twelve
men foated in on a raft few days
later and are the only ones saved from
the sunken vessel.
The death of Earl Kitchener was a
severe blow to the British as he was at
the head OF the recruiting forces and
was one Of the foremost leaders OF the
war force of the nation. He had a
long line of distinguished service be-
hind him and his death Is deeply de-
plored by the nation. He was not
man of engaging personality but had
accomplished so much that he stood
very high in the estimation of tie peo-
pie as whole.

. HUGHES AND ROOSEVELT.
Interesting Article in Prospect Touching
These National Characters.

We have made application to a New
Yorker who has been personally ac-
quainted with both Justice Hughes and
Colonel Roosevelt for an article define
atlng their characters and dispositions,
especially along political lines.
Should we be successful In securing
this article, and should 1t be written
with the vigor and clearness that we
expect, it will certainly prove very in
terestlng reading and will give such an
insight into the public characters of
these two prominent men as will give
Chronicle readers much better know
ledge of them. We have asked that
the writer 'cut to the quick" and
neither spare nor censure, but to lay
bare the ruling characteristics of these
two men in such a way as will enable
voters to understand the men as they
really are.
We hope to know within two weeks
whether or not we are to be favored
with the article requested.

AUSIRIANS LOSING.

The Russians are pressing the Aus
TRANS very hard in the eastern border
of their country. The Russians claim
to have captured l08,000 officers and
men and enormous quantities of NUM-
tions along with a large number of
guns.
The Austrians are still pushing back
the Italians with heavy losses. On
other battle fronts no great activity is
manifest.
The English claim that up to the
first Of May the German losses were
nearly three millions of men. Of that
number $50, 600 were killed.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Convenes in St Louis Today to Nomi-
nate President Wilson.

The democratic national convention
will convene in st. Louis today. NJ
name is mentioned for president except
President Wilson. He has directed al
vital matters for the convention ever
to helping to write and arrange the
platform, choose the man to make the
keynote speech and preside as chair.
man.
Not much has been said thus far as
to whom will get second place on the
ticket, but John W. Kern, of Indiana,
has been mentioned but it now seems
most probable that VIce-PresidenI
Marshall will be again the running
mate of President Wilson.
Every one of the 1902 delegates that
will make up the convention are either
instructed for or committed to the
nomination of President Wilson.
For the first time IN twenty years
William j. Bryan does not go to the
democratic national convention as a
delegate or IN some superior position.
He failed to be elected as one of the
delegates at large from his home state
of Nebraska. There is some talk that
he will find way to wage fight
against the Wilson preparedness plan.
but none of his friends are prepared to
speak for him on that point. 1t is ex-
pected that he will support the cam
paign of President Wilson.
The New York delegation will con-
sist of over one thousand and will 60
on special trains. They are particular
Iy desirous of hearing the keynote
speech by former Governor Glynn,
who is to be temporary chairman.
Ollie James, of Kentucky. will be the
permanent chairman and is expected to
make a speech.
The coliseum will seat IL, 600 but the
demand for seats has already tar over
run that number. An effort is to be
made to prevent speculation in tickets.
The price for tickets for the week is
$50 or more.

ROOSEVELT DECLINES NOMINA.
TION COND|TIONALLY.
Parker, Progressive, for Vice, Former
Democrat and from Louisiana;
Fairbanks Vice in 1902 and
Did not Seek II Now

The republican national convention
at Chicago Saturday nominated Assocl-
ate Justice Chas. E. Hughes as it's can
didate for president and Chas. W. Fair
banks, of Indiana, as vice presidential
candidate.
Justice Hughes accepted the nomina-
tion, rendered his resignation as asso-
ciate justice Of the United States su-
preme court and 1t was promptly ac-
cepted by President Wilson. Mr..
Hughes ga, out brief statement as
to his positicn and stated that he would
give fuller statement later.
Chas. ". Fairbanks requested the
convention 80 not name him as vice
presidential candidate, but he was
chosen by large majority on the first
ballot. He accepted and will be the
running mate OF Mr.. Hughes.
Colonel Roosevelt suggested the
name of Senator Cabot Lodge, of
date on whom both conventions might
unite, but both conventions turned
down his suggestion. MIR. Hughes was
nominated on the third ballot with
949 l-2 votes, while Colonel Roosevelt,
whose name had been presented to the
republican convention by Senator
Lodge, received IL l2 votes, which
was more than any other of the losing
candidates received. The total vote OF
the convention was 987; necessary to a
choice 494.
In the progressive convention no
other name than that OF Roosevelt was
considered and he received the nomlna-
ton by unanimous consent. When no.
titled he wired that he could not at that
time accept and it the convention re-
qulred an immeulate acceptance his
declinatlon should be accepted as final,
but suggested that his refusal be placed
IN the hands of the progressive nation
al committee to be acted upon after
the republican nominee was heard from
on the important issues before the ma
ton, and if the progressive committee
should not be satisfied with the utter
ances of Mr.. Hughes that then after
due consideration such action could be
taken as was deemed best The pro-
gressive national committee has set
June rs as the date for meeting to set
tie the nomination question.
John M. Parker, of Louisiana, was
chosen vice presidential candidate by
acclamation. Mr.. Parker was former
democrat and went over to the pro-
gress,ves four years ago. He has been
a warm personal friend of Colonel !
Roosevelt for several years. He made
the race tor governor in April and re-
ceived nearly $4,000 votes, which is
very unusual as the democratic ticket |
IN Louisiana seldom has any opposition. |
NOT EXPECTED TO RUN.
The opinion prevails very strongly |
that the coming utterances of Mr..
Hughes will prove so satisfactory to /
the progresslves that the party will
support him and no progressive ticket !
will be put IN the field. The belief is
based on the brief statement made
by Mr.. Hughes in his telegram of ac-
ceptance.
The democrats were Jublant when
two nominations were made for presI-
dent, but the conditional refusal of
Colonel Roosevelt to accept put an.
other color on the whole matter and
