"That," was the moving, muir

out before us like a marvellous
tapestry. 1t was somber in the
foreground with only here and
there widely scattered dots of
color that we knew were women's
hats. Farther back was a brighter
strip. There the larger proportion
of women alternates added more
color to the pattern and the gal

gowns.
Getting Too Refined.
"There are only 26 women dele

"but look at all the other women
and it's all having it's effect some
how and politics are getting so
blankety-blank refined that the
pep's all gone out of them"
Whether the veteran reporter
was right about what ails the con-

the hour and half that were the

happened and both of them con-

gate addressed the convention.
The crowd recognized the inter-
est of the second event and clap
ped and cheered and stood up as
Mrs. Margaret Hill Macarthur, a
pleasant, motherly-looking woman
in brown, was led to the platform.
Mrs. Macarthur stood half a pace
too far from the telephone trans
mitter that hangs just above the
heads of the speakers and her first
words didn't reach every one clear
ly. Then, whether consciously or
unconsciously, she took a step for
ward and suddenly her voice was
heard all over the hall.
A Great Event.

But it was a great event, just the

Lodge escorting the speaker with

Sure Enough Tame.
There was no excitement at all
among the women about enlarg-
ing the executive committee,
though it was a real concession to
the women's desire for equal rep
resentation throughout the party
organization. The veteran report
er hastily dragged out his watch
to time the applause. There was a
polite spatter of hand-clappiro and
a cheer or two from the boxes.
That was all. The veteran report

Why came here was: | hap
pened to be in Philadelphia the
night of the last presidential cleo
tion, and saw Penrose and Knox
lead the parade for Hughes
the one night he was president
Now Philadelphia was supposed to
be slow and there il was two days
ahead of facts.
So l decided there is the place to
find out who is nominated before
Penrose phones it to Chicago.
You see knew Doies' Penrose on
account of my being in Boise, Idaho
once, the town he was. named after
He said: "Why, hello, Will, l have
heard of Idaho. That's the state Sen.
ator Borah is FROM"
Now Penrose told me who was
nominated. But he asked me not
to tip it off as the hotels and 9TH
err crooks in Chicago wanted to
keep the suckers there a few days
till they were thoroughly renovat-
ed
Boies told me: "You know, VIII,
your business and mine are alike. We
have a few five-reel features IN Iol-
itics, but most of them are one and
two-reel comedies.
Pen says to me: 'For appear

f., Mandate for Armenia-We con-
demn President Wilson for asking
congress to empower him to accent
a mandate for Armenia and commend
the Republican Senate for REFUSING
his request. No more striking iIlus,

Armenia and stand ready to helm

"Mexico-The ineffective policy of
the present administration in Mexican
matters has been largely responsible
for the continued loss of American
lives in that country and upon the
! border, for the enormous loss of Am
erlcan and foreign property, for the
lowering of American standards of
morality and social relations with
MeXicans and for bringing American
ideals of justice and national honor
into contempt and ridicule in Mexico
and throughout the world. We should
not recognize any Mexican governs
ment unless it be a responsible goy-
ernment, willing and able to give
sufficient guarantees that the lives
and rights of Americans will be pro-
tected."

tically all of the conferences. The
leaders of both groups are unanimous
in the opinion that Hoover would be
the surest Of election of any man
they could nominate and there is no
personal objection to him. But
Hoover is rejected on the grounds
that to nominate him would be slap
ping Johnson in the face and also
that he would not submit to dictation
from the political masters of the
party. He is pictured as man Of

upon running the whole show

A League of Nations plank draft
ed by Elihu Root was accepted as the
basis of compromise today by the
lrreconcilables on the Republican ma
tional convention committee. The
plank, which upholds the position of
the senate, does not declare in spe-
cific terms for ratification of the
treaty. 1t is also agreeable to Ogden
Mills, representative of the mild res
ervation group on the subcommittee
All the members of the sub-commit-
tee seemed satisfied with the devel-
opment and smilingly asserted that
the peril of a party split was over.
The agreement, reached at confer
ence attended by Chairman Lodge,
came as a sensation,
While the plank accepted today
was drafted originally by Root, it was
said some notifications in it had been
made in pre-convention conferences
of leaders and in the meeting this
morning. Root himself is in Europe.
Omitting all endorsement of the
pending league covenant, the Root
resolution provided for a new agree
agreement with other nations which
shall include tribunal for the set
tlement of international disputes. 1t
was prepared by Root before his de-
parture for Europe but has been
modified considerably by the sub
committee.
An Irreconcilables Victory.
Senator Lodge had no statement to
make when he emerged from the
conference, but he Immediately went
into consultation with Senator Wat
son, head of the subcommittee who
with Senator Smoot, had been at
work all night to bring the battling
elements into harmony.
Senator Borah described the COM
promise plank as establishing three
principles for which the irreconcil-
ables had ntended-omission of
any pledge for ratification, COM
mendation of the senate for refus-
ing to ratify and a statement that
any future league must be in accord
with American ideals and the prin-
ciples of Washington.
The news of the agreement start
ed lively speculation as to whether
the chances Of any presidential can
didate would be aided or injured by
the adjustment. Generally the ex-
pressed first impression was it would
affect none except perhaps, Johnson.
He Immediately hailed it as a victory
for the principles he advocates, but it
was pointed out it probably removes
the opportunity which many dele
gates thought he wanted for an i'm
passioned debate on the subject on
the convention floor.
The Lowden, Wood, Butler and
Harding headquarters refused to
make any statement at once on the
plank. Senator Crane withheld COM
ment. Ogden Mills said Crane was
perfectly satisfied.
