BRUMBAUGH SNUBBED
BY JOHN WANAMAKER
Governor Tries to Shake Hands
With Merchant, Who
Turns Aside

CHICAGO, ILL.,. June 9.-Governor Brum-
baugh was snubbed by John wanamalser
also a delegate to the Republican National
the Coliseum yesterday and pleasantly
spoke to Mr.. wanamaker, proffering his
hand MIR Wanamaker, whether he saw
him or not turned his back on him and
talked to another person, his companion
in the first row.
The incident was seen by the delegates
seated In the second row and by the cor.
respondents in the press section overlooking
the seats of the Pennsylvania delegates
Governor Brumbaugh's face flushed as he
turned away. He was closely associated
with Mr.. wanamaker as Superintendent Of
that Mr. Wanamaker has expressed him
Sc as unfriendly to the Governor since the
bitter political dispute In Pennsylvania
politics and is as opposed TO him now as he
was loyal to him when he was member
Of the Board of Education.
The action of Mr.. wanamaker caused
the Pennsylvania delegates to discuss the
snub and comment upon its significance
II was reported that Mr. Wanamaker said
he had known Doctor Brumbaugh as
Superintendent of Schools, but did not
know him as Governor.
MIR. sWananaRer was aSkeu ABOUT the
incident He refused to explain his action,
and said: "You must not say anything
about it, I forbid it,"
He did not deny that he had refused to
accept the proffered hand Of the Gov
ernor.
Governor Brumbaugh did not appear at
the second session at 4 o'clock Messages
we're wired to the convention hall that he
had been hurt in an automobile accident
This proved untrue.
Another incident OF interest to Pennsyl
vana in the proceedings was the report
of the rule and its adoption. which would
give the National Committee authority to
unseat Henry G. Wasson. or any committee
/, man. who acted as he did four years ago
The rule provides that a national commit
teeman who does not Loyalty support the
candidate of the party and is active secretly
or openly in another party cannot retain his
seat on the committee,
There was similar rule in effect and
today's action strengthened IL. Senator
Penrose used his influence to have the rule
written
A canvass of the Pennsylvania delegation
made today resulted as follows:
Hughes, 81 Roosevelt, Il Knox, 80; Brum.
baugh, "a. on this showing Senator Pen.
rose, on the first ballot at least, will be
unsuccessful in getting more votes for
Knox than Brumbaugh will get.

CHICAGO, June q.-Those who are hop.
ing for an agreement between the Repub-
licans and Progressives today commented
widely on what they regarded as the re-
markable similarity between the platform
adopted by the Republican convention In
the Coliseum and the Progressive platform
presented to the convention In the Audi
torium.
on almost every question. they asserted.
the two parties held but a single view. In
some instances the Republican platform,
which is the longer. goes farther than the
Progressive in some instances the Pro-
grcssive platform Ia more extreme In the
main. however, the differences are not such
as might not be reconctled.
Roth declare for equal rights and pro-
lection of American citizens Mt home and
abroad Both declare for peace, so long as
American rights are not invaded.
Roth platforms are numerically critical
of the Wilson Mexican policy both demand
strong dealing with the conditions existing
below the border
On the question Of defense there Is diff
ference Both platforms declare for the
adoption Of program Of national prepar-
edness which will be sufficient to maintain
the honor and integrity of the United
States.
The Progressive platform is more specific
on this issue than the Republican. The
Progressive platform declares for universal
military training. The Republican platform
does not go quite so far.
"As the nation has always recognized
and exercised the right to enforce com.
pulsory military service in time of war"
the Progressive platform says, 80 should
there be universal military training for
that service during times of peace"
This is the way the Republican platform
treats the subject:
I'VE must have n sufficient and eff.
fective regular army and n provision for
ample reserves, already drilled and dis.
clpned. who can be called at once to the
colors when the hour of danger comes"
AS for the navy the Progressive platform
seeks:
"a navy restored to at least second rank
in battle efficiency"
The Republicans want: IA navy so
strong and so we'll proportioned and
equipped, so thoroughly ready and pre-
pared. that no enemy can gain command
of the sea and effect n landing in force on
either our Western or Eastern coasts"
The Progressives want a regular army
of 250,OO0 men. The Republicans want n
regular army which Is Sufficient and effec-

is being said that he may vet prove 70 be
an eleventh 7hour dark horse" in the Re-
publican National Convention should the
gathering become hepeiessly deadlocked
over Hughes, Roosevelt and the favorite
sons.
Four years ago there was considerable
talk to the effect that Goethals would make
strong presidential candidate because 'of
his great popularity won through manage
ment of what is recognized as the greatest
engineering enterprise of modern tines
the building of the canal.
The principal objection held out against
General Goethals was that many Amer
leans would object to a military man be-
ing President. Now political gossips here
are saying that the public temper has SO
changed that military man might prove
more popular than civilian as director Of
a preparedness program such as that
adopted by both Republicans and Progress
sives.

School Notes.
By C. K

Miss Anderson third graders have recently had candy sale out of which was realized a sufficient amount to purchase a foot ball for the boys. It is planned by Miss Cochran and her fourth graders and also by Miss Foster and her room to raise money by candy sales and other means and purchase see saws and swings for the campus. About $5 has already been raised for that purpose. This is commendable enterprise undertaken by those ladies and their pupils. and should be aided in every way we can.
 Basket ball practice has begun in earnest Coach Cook expects to have a splendid team developed by the time the season for match games opens.
 A frame has been provided by Miss Pugh's fourth year English class on which are pinned each day important clippings from the Arkansas Gazette and other papers. It is proving of great interest to the pupils of that room.
 Experiments in the sciences in az far as it is possible to try them. will begin in few days. It Is expected that great interest will be- taken in them, as they bring to the pupils ob- servation the visual proof of the prin- ciples and facts which they have been learning from the texts all these Weeks.
