ideas as to the logical William Penn
route through that county. The Liver

the highway may be permanently i'm
proved at a less cost than any other.
The Newport boomers point to the
fact that by passing through Newport
the William Penn route will be ten or
twelve miles shorter than the Liver
poci way. Then there are other roads
enthusiasts who want the route
through their neighborhood. Mr..
JENNINGS and Mr.. James will cover all
the possible thoroughfares Thursday

Leaving Field Clear For Pres
emf Vice-president; Resolu-
tons Committee Meets

st. Louis, Mo, June 13.-Delegates
which opens here at noon tomorrow,
appeared to be interested in two ques-
tions to-day. One was whether Vice
President Marshall would be renomi-
mated by acclamation or whether the
faVorite sons would insist upon their
names going before the convention for
a ballot. The other was the probable
action of the delegates with regard to
the demand of the suffragists for an
unequivocal declaration in the plat
form in favor of equal rights.
Sentiment for the denomination OF
Nice-President Marshall appeared SO
strong to-day, leaders said. that there
was talk among them of starting a
movement to have him named without
going through the formality of taking
a ballot. The talk of naming Secre-
tary of War Baker for the second place
on the ticket ended almost as suddenly
as 1t started. The war secretary had
much to do with putting the quietus
to his boom, he declaring before he
left Washington for the convention
city that he was for Marshall and that
the mention of his name was merely
friendly enterprise"
The fact that Mr.. Baker had just
left President Wilson when he an
nounced that he fay ored Mr.. Marshall
for denomination also gave support to
the idea of having Mr.. Marshall ac-
claimed the candidate without calling

States should not be a clustering ma
ton, nation with a chip on its
shoulder" but a calm nation, which
will hold its hand as long as possible
and strike only for victory.
The Presidents address ran through
the almost entire list of subjects dis
cussed by former Justice Hughes in
his telegram accepting the Republican

tions to see that the kind of justice it
