CHICAGO. June S.-The conferees were unanimous in asserting that the conference was entirely harmonious. Discussion of candidates followed just two lines. the Progressives sticking to Roosevelt the Republican conferees suggested the names of various can didates. including ,Haipbanksj Root, Hughes and others but reached no unanimous decision that they favor ored any one above the other The entire range of discussion. it was said. never got beyond generalities.
 Wliise both sides represented pro- gress. the Republicans appeared to take g more optimistic view of the situation than some of the Progress siyes, among whom there was far from unanimity of opinion that an agreement was probable.
 It was agreed that the conferees should report to their respective con ventions in the morning. Neither side was at all sure that the convention which it represented could be controll- ed. It was understood that three bal lots would be taken in the Republican convention and if without result a further conference tomorrow would be held.
 Early in the evening there was a report that the Progressive conferees had offered the names of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and Generals Goethals and Leonard Wood as ac- ceptable to them but this proved to be untrue No such offer was made.

Bisbee daily review., 1916-06-09

CHICAGO, June S.-Committees ap- pointed by the Republican and Pro sressive conventions to discuss peace held their first meeting tonight The Republicans invited the PrOgressives 10 meet them at down town club and the Progressives did so.
 What will cone of the meeting can only be conjectured. The Republi- can committee is composed of men who are regarded as opposed to the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt but not to the elimination of Justice Hughes. The Progressive conferees are generally regarded as men who will insist on the Colonel's nomina- ton.
 The acceptance by both conven- tions of the peace conference proposal threw the situation into a new uncer- tainty. Hughes supporters and many other Republican leaders feel that it cannot prevent the nomination of the justice. but the development has had the effect of holding off the expected specialization upon Justice Hughes in the Republican convention.
 The Progressive convention will reassemble tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and the Republicans at II o'clock Whatever happens after that depends on the action of the confer ees who were still in session at late hour tonight.

The
PRAISE
'It's a great car"

tits a great car"
Over storm-roughened, winter
roads, a car forces it's way swiftly
across the plains, reaches the Con-
tinental Divide, climbs steadily and
surely up the ice-coated, eighteen
mile ascent, tops the brow, then
moves rapidly downward to the
town in the foothills.
A curious crowd gathers around.
Dimly on the sleet-encrusted radi-
ator they make out the trademark
bearing the name: "Saxon."
'It's a great car" they say one to
another. ..t
Turn time back a short space. The
day of the famous hill climb has
come. The race for premier hon
ors begins. The crowd clustered
at every point Of vantage is a-buzz
with excitement.

"I've scarcely time to write"-
Let their brooding thots go wander

Back to many a bygone night,
When they lost their needed sleep and
rest
And every breath was a prayer,
That God would leave their little one
To their tender and loving care.
Don't think that the young and
giddy friends,
That make your passtimes gay,
Have half the thots for you
That the old-folks have today;
The duty of writing do not put off,
Let self and pleasures wait;
Lest the letter for which
They've waited so long
Be a day or an hour too late
For the sad old folks at home
With locks fast turning white
Are longing to hear from "The
Absent one,"
So write them a letter tonight.
