| OWDEN WINS. 25,
 WOOD LOSES SAME NUMBER DELEGATES
Henry Lincoln JOhnson's Big Four Seated on GrOud of Regularity In Con-
 ventiOn Proceedings
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 4.-Lowden forces counted twenty eight additional dele gates into their column as the result of today's decision by the republican national committee. In deciding the Georgia contests the Wood forces succeeded in having the committee ac- cept only one delegate pledged to the general when work was stopped for the night.
 Chicago, June 4.-Lowden forces counted twenty-five delegates into their column as the result of today's decisions of contests by the republican national committee. The Wood forces, in turn, lost an equal number which would have been counted for them had the pend- ing contests been sustained.
 All attempts at split decisions were lost While various committeeman professed to see behind the arguments for party harmony which were advo- cated a reflection of personal views as they might be favorable to Governor LCwden and General Wood the { t a nj tee, in repeated roll calls ref to make compromises and proceede make decisions on the evidence party regularity in the local and trict machinery.
 LOWDEN WINS MISSISSIPPI
 LoWden forces started off on a a- ming streak by winning the con sgs in the eight congressional distric or Mississippi. They claim all the is- gates. They won a half vote in Inc second congressional district of ia homa, where the Wood forces VI half vote also by the seating oi ll Hugh Scott of Holdenville and A rt Kelly of Bristol respectively. Ihnh. the Lowden chiefs claimed anothei au- dition of support when the committee voted to seat the regularly reported delegates from South Carolina, led ly National Committeeman Tolbert. The Tenth district of Tennessee went to the regularly reported delegate, Rob- ert Church, negro of Memphis, but that was claimed by none of the vari- ous managers.
 The spectacular decision of the
 day was the hard-fouEht and long
 oeiayed contest from Georgia,
 where the delegates headed by Henry Lincoln Johnson, an Atlanta
 negro, who, it was testified be-
 fore the Senate committee investi-
 gatng campaign expenditures, re- ceiyed &9,OOO for the LOwden cam-
 paign fund, were resisting the nt-
 tacks of set of contcsting dele
 gates admittedly organized by
 Frank II. Hitchcock and counted
 for the candidacy of General
 Wood.

NOT HATRED ENOUGH

It all comes down to that. The op- position lacks, let us put it politely relentlessness On paper it ca nbear McAdoo. On paper it has more than ohe-third of the convention that it can marshal against him. It hates Me- Adoo, but 1t probably does not hate him enough. If it were in the mood of the men who beat Roosevelt at St Louis in 1912, or in the mood of the men who beat Grant in the convention of 1880, it could and would beat McAdoo
 But McAdoo raises no such sharp is sue as was presented in the republican convention of 1880 or 1912 There is an old row between McAdoo and Tam many over patronage. There is a smi- lar row between him and some of the other state leaders over the same issue But there is not the bitter antagonism to McAdoo which would rather wreck the party than see him it's candidate.
 The bosses hoped to make McAdoo come and see them before getting the nomination. They do not like to have candidate nominated who has not come to see them. It is against the rules of the game they play it. But il is doubtful if they ever really ex- peeted to prevent his nomination. They don't want to have anything put over on them. and the McAdoo candidacy DOCKS like something being put over on them. On paper they can prevent anything being put over on them.
 HAVE THE VOTES
 They have the votes. but they have not certain other things indispensable to a perfectly good and effective hatred.
 The opposition leader quoted above described the thing in fervent Anglo saxon. Without the thing which he said the opposition was without it is impossible to cherish and maintain an ir.placable hatred and without an inn piacable hatred a trifle more than a third of the convention Is not likely to stand long against a trifle less than two thirds of the convention.
 It is not human nature for it to do so. In place of an implacable hatred, which is after all one of the rarest of human virtues, the opposition has only a desire to get square with man who had treated it despitefully. This prob ably is not enough.
 And it is weak in another way, too. It hasn't a candidate. Conference after conference has failed to produce a can didate for it. MT. Taggart is interested in Vice President Marshall, but once MT. Marshall is disposed of it is not clear that he will not prefer seat in the

San Francisco, July D.
 Special. )-All the advantage of the day of waiting while the resolutions committee fought out the liquor plank was with McAdoo. His oppo- nents made no progress, and to make no progress against a man who has a clear majority for whom all the psychological factors are working is to lose ground.
 For day the delegates looked at the McAdoo band wagon. Looking at a band wagon has demoralizing effect upon delegates who are not on board It. 1t has had bad effect upon the Pennsylvania delegates, fifty of whom would like to break away from Attor- ncy General Palmer after one or two eailots and vote for McAdoo

THE ORPHAN"
 AT THE RIALTO

William Farnum Is doing some splendid acting In The Orphan" at the Rialto today The Orphan has one tragic memory which has made him an outcast with his hand raised against every man. and the hand of every man raised against him. He is man whose reputation i9 black, whose heart is white and whose anger is red IT, spite of all this he is an outlaw with a sense Of humor. and this humor per- vades the entire story.
 There Is nothing sordid or ruffianly in the doing of the daring orphan and throughout the play he shows a high sense of honor and proves in the end that in spite of his black reputa- tion, he is gentleman. And in the love scenes which interwine about tho plot. he is more a gentleman, for his manners with the ladies are posi- lively those of Chesterfield.

The John ". Davis candidacy fer some unexplained reason has more latent strength than that of any other dark horse candidacy
 Curieusly enough. this strength extends to the galleries, where MT. Davis as a personality, must be unknown.
 But how to beat MT MeAdoe with Mr, Davis. This convention Is not like the recent Chicago convention. Among the republicans existed a strong desire on the part of the majority of the dele gates to get rid of the candidates of Wood. Lowden and Johnson major ity of the convention had made up its mind against each and every one of those candidates. The three had no special strength and each had his weak ness. This convention has not made up It's mind against MT. McAdoo.
 On tho contrary, majority of the convention Is determined to nominate him majority of the convention Is impressed with the great strength of McAdoo as candidate. It thinks his strength is 80 great that it can ignore his weakness as a son-in-law of Presi- dent Wilson.
 Such state of mind on the part of a majority of the convention is hard to resist. The determination of the ma- jority to nominate Is stronger than the determination of the minority not to nominate.

MARY PICKFORD
 AT THE COLONIAL

Dainty Mary Pickford and handsome Eugene oBrien (the original reason why girls leave home). are appearing together today in the refreshing little ssory, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" at the Colonial.
 Rebecca was the fortunate CD one of eight little sisters and brothers who was selected to go and live with two maiden aunts. Maiden is said in pure courtesy, for they weren't really jus; maiden aunts," they were regular old maids that had long ceased to believe in pleasure and looked on life as sim ply hum drum routine affair.
 You see. old maids are not the results of age near so much as of their view points, and judging by the view points or Rebecca's aunts, one would say that they were about nine hundred and sixty years old. But Rebecca was one to make her own environment, so she didn't stop one second to worry aaout her aunties view points, but

 It is hardly story of adventure, being largely filled with the ravages and dark deeds of a band of outlaw 'hoboes,' who perpetrate many deeds of terror and make themselves such d menace that a band of citizens, called the 'vignantes," unite for their cap ture. They barely escape lynching. A love plot forms a part of the story.

A SERVICE TO SOCIETY

Social service workers should lose
no time in commencing the refusual
of Judge ]. B. Rockafellow of Allan
tic to permit Margaret Haines, 20
year-old Omaha girl to marry Lester
Moore, involved in suit in court for
alleged auto stealing. The young
man has been sentenced to an indie
terminate term in the Anamosa re-
formatory. If this were his first
trouble of similar nature, the court
might have been more disposed to
leninecy. Records show, however,
that he has served a previous sent
ence on the same charge.
The point to be made is that Judge
Rockafellow not only safeguarded
this girl against her own folly and
maudlin sentiment, but he rendered
society in general a service. When
people learn to know that crime and
criminals are not to be condoned and
pampered, and flowers and treats Civ
en- the latter, it is possible that COM
mon sense will oftener be able to
raise its head in these matters.
Marrying a man about to enter
prison or a refoTmatry cannot change
his status in society for the time be-
ing, nor render him any other serv-
ice. In most cases he has knowing
ly violated the law, and his one idea
has been not to be caught, rather
than to refrain from wrong-doing.
The sickly-sentimentalist, whether
maid or matrOn. who marries a crim-
inal, breaks down her own social and
business standing. 1t is whispered
about that "her mans in the pen. 81"
Few people care to champion her
cause, not because she is a criminal,
but because she has done the uncon-
ventional and utterly useless thing in
marrying a criminal. Let him serve
his sentence and prove his worth be-
fore marrying.
Anything that can check impetu-
Gus youth from rushing into ill-advis-
ed marriage, thus helping to check
the overwhelming wave of divorce,
should be a matter of rejoicing
among people who study social con-
ditions.

ELECTRICITY AND
| THE OMAN HOUR

It used to take two men Or a man
and aNboy t. operate tanning mill,
one to turn the crank AMI Que n
feed the grain into the mill In the
olG days before the man hour was
matter of interest to the farmer
this was not considered a matter of
very great Importance. But with
application of business efficiency
principles to the new business of
farming the modern farmer is max
ing an effort to see that every hour
of labor produces just as much as
possible. For this reason he well
comes any means of enabling one
man to do the work which used to
require two. The tanning mill is
merely one example of an old
fashioned two man job. Others
that might be mentioned are the
corn shelter, the grindstone and the
horse clipper.
Today nearly all of these two man
Jobs can be performed by substitut-
ing a small electric motor for the
man who formerly turned the crank.
These motors are made either to be
attached permanently to the ma
chine in question, If it is one
which is used frequently, or to be
moved about from one machine to
another where the machine is used
only occasionally. For the latter
