Chicago. June 9.-Nothing of the
many things happening in the city of
Chicago this week equals in dramatic
interest the crystallization that is go
ing on in the ranks of organized wo-
men. For the women themselves the
drama has moments of deep and real
pathos-and it has, too, touch of
tragedy. There is plenty of comedy
marking its development. but it is the
men not the women who are the VIC
Tins Never have 1 seen gentlemen
pass so quickly from amused and in
terested confidence to puzzled and ir-
ritated humility--or plain scare as at
the meeting of Tuesday night.
The new Woman's party had per-
mitted representative of five differ
ent political parties to appear before
them and briefly present their vari-

men. I'VE do not ask you here to tell
us what we can do for your parties,
but what your parties can do for u.s.,

tone of exultant sweetness which sent

ON SECOND BALLOT
Hughes Nomination After
'|SOns' ?" Disposal.
Prediction That BallOting Will
Start at 4 O'clock.
(BY ROBERT j. BENDER.)

Chicago, June 9.-Hughes must be
nominated on the second ballot, or he
can't survive, according to the belief
of the favorite sons today. The first
ballot will be more or less perfume
tory, the Allies claiming to hold the
balance of power-5S7 votes Hughes
is expected to get between IT'S and
200 votes on the first ballot and then
will come the real fight. At the end
of the first ballot, a hundred dele
gates will be released from voting for
their favorite sons. Hughes failure
to land this strengthened the Allies
think this inevita ble-the Allies are
then expected to try out several of
their number, preferably Sherman,
Fairbanks and Weeks. While mana
gers of the Burton, Cummins and
other favorite sons campaigns decline
to comment on the posi- bility of this
the word went around at an early
hour this morning that such arrange
ment had been agreed upon.
The Burton crowd will try as early
as the second ballot to divert some of
the released delegates to the Ohioan
the third ballot at least, for a strong
support. Beyond that they claim no
plans.
Sherman's tactics in the fray are
not known. He had been making a
strong campaign and one which his
managers say is beginning to show its
effect He also claims to be in the
Roosevelt white book.
Among all favorite sons, it was free
ly admitted that the situation has
been changed with the naming of
peace committees by the two conven-
TONS Roots managers profeSSed to
believe that Colonel Roosevelt, owing
to his knowledge of Roots strong OPP
position on Americanism and pre-
paredness may swing support to the
cause of the New Yorker. The allies
believe that balloting will commence
about o'clock.

ANOTHER DAY OF
RAINY WEATHER
IN OLD CHICAGO

Chicago, June with another

today began to muster up statistics to

wettest June" saying it was the worst
since 1870.

morrow" the forecaster announced.

The New Fourth

Children dance upon the grave OF the old
Fourth y This was the headline over an article
in Chicago newspaper, which described how
Independence day was celebrated in that city
without the frightful toll of lives and human
wreckage which formerly made this holiday one
of horror and shame.
Instead of providing explosives for the child
rem, and thereby inviting injuries and tetanus,
young America was entertained with histori-
cal pageant, drilling Of soldiers, and athletic
sports. The boys and girls flocked to the public
park where the celebration was held, and delight
ed with the new turn of events, went home salts
fled and happy, and without powder stained
wounds.
The new spirit was pretty we'll exemplfied in
Richmond. The celebration was rather tame,
contrasted to the din and of explosives heard
here in former years. Sanity on the Fourth may
we'll be perpetuated along with other movements
that are intended for the betterment and i'm
provement of the child. There isn't boy in the
city who will not enjoy picnic outing, or long
hike out into the country, as much as he will the
noise produced by giant fire crackers and other
ear-sptting explosives.
