"STOP MURDER IN MEXICO"
LOOMS UP AS PARTY PLANK
TBy International News service.l


Chicago, ILL.,, June Stop murder
in Mexico" to-day loomed up as the
possible big slogan for the Republican
fight for the presidency next Fall. The
Mexican plank of the Republican ma
tional platform became the center of
the fight over party declanation of
faith, and Senator Albert b. Fall, of
New Mexico. took charge of the cam
paign for a 'virile, vigorous Repub-
lican Mexican policy"
The platform carpenters got down
to real work to-day and tentative
drafts foated around among the dele
gates by the score. The leaders de-
cided on Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
of Massachusetts, for chairman of the
resolutions committee and the Senator
was bombarded with suggestions. SEN
ators Borah, of Idaho, Sutherland,
from Utah, and Kenyon, of Iowa, and
Representative Martin Madden of I'LL
nois, were among those agreed upon
to-day as members of the committee,
and they found themselves with a fight
on their hands.
A serious campaign to revolutionize
platform methods gained considerable
gates declared for cutting down the
platform to an "irreducible minimum"
in words. They asserted that the
party could best put itself on record
by concentrating on five or six planks,
expressed briefly and concisely. They
suggested limiting the declaration to
"Americanism, preparedness, the tariff,
Mexico and peace, with possible gen.
eral plank attacking the administra-
ton for its unbusinesslike conduct of
the affairs of the government.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 5.-In order to
get an idea of how closely all the pre-
convention activities are concentrated
just imagine that Harrisburg's river
front Is the Chicago lake front. Let
the Harrisburg Club represent the
Congress Hotel. the center of things
doing, where Pennsylvania, New
York and other big delegations hold
forth and where the crowds are always
on the move. cross Market street let
the building that is now being remod-
eled be the Auditorium Hotel, an
other hive of activity, and a little fur
ther down, possibly where the Engi
neers' Club stands, there is the STRAIT
ford, where some Pennsylvanians and
Southerners will be domiciled.
Then, keeping the same idea of loca-
tion in mind, about where the Public
Library stands would be the Black
stone, where George w. Perkins and
other big Bull Moosers have their flags
out. Back as far as Market Square is
the Kaiserhof, and about where the
Pennsylvania stands you could locate
the La Sale.
The Coliseum, where the Republican
convention will meet, is ten blocks
further along the lake, about as far
as Reilly street from Market. The
Coliseum, which is pronounced as diff
ferently as it is spelled is where the
national committee is sitting. Wednes-
day 1t will be the pulsating center.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 5.-The hundreds
of politicians and mere delegates here
for the convention had a fellow feeling
to-day for travellers in the arid wastes
of the Sahara and for Pershing's boys
as they toll through the thirst-pro-
ducing sand dunes of Chihuahua.
After warm and exciting dry Sun
day they awoke to-day to find mu-
nicipal election in progress, entailing
more torrid hours.
Water, water everywhere, but not
a drop to drink" walled the anvil

Fifty or more bedraggled Pennsyl-
vania followers of Senator Penrose to-
day borrowed washstands and bath
rooms to freshen UP their appearance
after a sleepless night. The Penn
sylvanians spent the night wandering
through hotel corridors and doing on
street corners. When they arrived
yesterday they discovered that their
representative had reserved rooms for
them at a leading hotel, but he had
reserved them beginning Wednesday,
From now until Wednesday they will
spend the time looking for the man
that made the reservations.

will make the speech presenting Gov
ernor Brumbaugh's name to the con-
vention. Mr.. Collins, who is a close
personal friend of the Governor, is
known to many of those who will sit

pected to surpass even those which he
has made in recent political gather
ings. He got here early to-day and
assisted in welcoming people at the
Governors headquarters.
The seconding speech will come
from either Ohio or Michigan, where
the Governor has some friends among
the delegates and where he Is best
known. This matter was arranged by
Attorney General Brown some time
to-day.

MAJESTY OF THE LAW

Belonging to one of the finest
families in Virginia, the son Of old
Judge Kent of the Circuit Court,
and betrotf1ed to beautiful Vir-
ginia Fairfax, young Jackson Kent
had everything before him. When
the pearls stolen at Col. Monroe's
ball were found in his o~vercoat
pocket and he would make no ex-
PLANTATION Jaekson's future was
blasted.
He left the county seat ard was
not heard of again until his indict-
ment IN Evansville for embezzle-
ment from the local bank. Tt did
not help him any that his father
by the irony Of fate should sit on
the case; rather made it harder.
Judge Kent imposed the maximum
sentence, ten years. The spectacle
of the father on the bench forced
by his sense of honor and duty to
sentence his own son was one OF
the saddesf sights in the history Of
Evans county.
The unraveling Of the tangle and
the discovery OF the real culprit
gives the county seat a chance for
rejoicing. # you enjoy a play with
