No Hearse Driver Wanted.
The Kansas City Star of April
20, 1920, had this to say of SEN
ator Harding; "A presidential
candidate who can make no bet
ter showing in his home state
than Senator Harding made in
Ohio is obviously not a man who
will cause a stampede in his d.
rectiOn in the election. II is a
fairly safe guess that the Repub-
lican convention will not pick a
hearse driver for the ~presiden-
tial race.
And the ''hearse driver" was
nominated.

ChamberIain,s Cough Remedy.

This remedy is intended es-
pecially for coughs, colds, Group
and whooping cough. From a
small beginning its sale and use
has extended to all parts of the
United States and to many for
eign countries. This alone is e.
nough to convince one that it is
medicine of more than ordinary
merit. Give it a trial and you
will find this to be the case.

There are a number OF new cases
Of scarlet fever in town. and one
reason for the spread of this disease
Ia the habit people have OF visiting
those who are suffering from what
appears to be mild sore throat.
The librarian knows Of at least
six high school pupils who have
been directly exposed in this man
ner. and two have since developed
the disease. Scarlet fever almost
always begins with sore throat and
vomiting. though in the mild cases
these symptoms may be very light.
and not attract much attention.
This is much too serious q dis
ease to be careless about. as even
the very mildest cases may have Sc
rious and even fatal ear and kidney
complications. So In justice to 9TH
ers. II q member OF your family is
suffering from sore throat or vomit-
ing, do not allow others in the room
until ycp are sure that there is no
danger Of contagious disease.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, June 7.-Mrs. Will

Of Pennsylvania, just couldn't stay
away from Chicago.
She has gone to the convention city
to follow the fortunes Of her husband.
With Mrs. Sproul is her daughter, Mrs.
Henry j. Klaer They departed for
the West yesterday.
"I'm hopeful" Mrs. Sproul told a
friend, in commenting on her husbands
chances of capturing the nomination.
And her eyes shone as she said it,
Mrs. Sproul found it impossible to
remain at her beautiful home near
Chester while proceedings which may
have such vital bearing on her own
life were in progress in Chicago She
felt that the tension would be less if
she we're actually on tho ground with
her husband. Furthermore, the smoke
and battle and excitement Of the big
convention were allurements in them
selves.
Both Mrs. Sproul and Mrs. Klaer are
interested in suffrage. Since the Gov
ernor's Inauguration they have been
seen many times in the Pennsylvania
Capitol.

Sarah Butler Aids
Father in Chicago
From a staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, June 7.-One Of the first
persons to greet the New York delega-
tion upon it's arrival yesterday was
Miss Sarah Schuyler Butler, daughter
of Nicholas Murray Butler. The old
timers in politics pronounce Miss But
ler one of the ablest workers they have
ever seen in Presidential politics.
Miss Butlea is at the Butler head
quarters in the Congress Hotel from
early morning until late at night She
has a presence that wins all visitors
to the place. 1t might be said that So
cial experience is one Of the assets Of
women in politics about which little
has been spoken. Miss Butler proves
that the woman in the campaign head

II am here taking orders from Mr..
John r. Davies" said Miss Butler this
morning. at is one Of the most inter-
esting experiences I ever had, this
Presidential campaign work.
"Women have q definite place In 1t
all and have no patience with those
who do not Join political organizations
and work from the inside. know
some women, now that they can vote,
prefer to hold of before declaring
themselves. They stand back and say
that they will wait until tho candidates
prove themselves before they lend their
help toward election.
"That attitude is mistaken, believe.
The only way to do constructive work
Is to join the party which most nearly
expresses your beliefs and ideals.
Then if there is something about its
principles in which the woman voter
does not believe, she should use her
influence to change it. She has real
power when working as member Of
the party"
Miss Butler carried her beliefs into
practice. She is the woman election
captain in her district, the Sd Election
Precinct of the 18th Assembly District
She belongs to the Republican County
Committee in New York.
Here at the convention she is one Of
the few young women who has def
mite place and work to do. The older
women have taken hold Of their new
responsibility in a manner born Of
years of suffrage and political work
Ing. 1t is to be expected that they
know what they want now that they
have the much-sought ballot and
recognition In party machinery. The
younger women are not showing much
interest. although few are watching

Miss Boswell to Second

From q STAFF Corrcspondent

from StnU correspondent
CHICAGO, June New York's
women delegates have been drawn right
into the swim of the convention almost
on the eve Of their arrival. Mrs. Flor
ence Knapp. delegate from the 35th
district, was elected honorary vice
president of the convention to repre-
sent New York State at a meeting of
the New York delegation to-day. Miss
Helen Varick Boswell, delegsse from
the 18th district, was named to second
the nomination Of Nicholas Murry But
ler in the convention.
Frankly, am exceedingly gratified
by the honor that has been bestowed
upon me-" said Mrs. Knapp tonight
"The Empire State has recognized
women in this appointment and be-
lieve 1T means great deal to all of

Miss Boswell, in seconding the t,omi-
nation of DR.. Butler, will be the frst
woman to make speech as a delegate
from the floor at national conven-

Gen. Pershing
To Retire i'm
Few Months

been advanced for the Republican
nomination they asserted that he had
steadfastly declined to make any
move toward advancing his own in
terests politically. The announcement
Of his desire to retire at this time,
they asserted, was in no wise. timed fox
its effect upon his possible selection
as q dark horse candidate.
It was recalled tonight that General
Pershing in a speech in Lincoln, Neb.,
announced that he eventually hoped to
retire and become permanently estab-
lished in business there. It is known
that pressure has been brought to bear
upon the General by friends in the Ne
braska capital city to return there and
engage in commercial activities.
It is recalled that prominent in
the "Pershing-for- President" boom,
launched in Lincoln were the Wood
brothers, who have large banking, ag-
ricultural and mining holdings in the
state, and from whom General Pershing
is believed to have received attractive
offers to engage in business pursuits.
No Obstacles Expected
The oft-repeated charge that General
Pershing and General Peyton C. March
the chief Of staff of the army, were
at loggerheads, and that General
Pershing's decision to withdraw from
the army was hastened by a disincli
nation on the part of Secretary Baker
to supplant General March was agail
denied tonight by military men.
1t is believed that Secretary Baker
will readily accede to General Per
shing's request to retire when his work
in connection with the army reorgan
ization bill has been completed. Tn.
der this act General Pershing, as the
General of the United States Army, is
authorized practically to direct the re
organization Of the General Staff and
to supervise the carrying out OF tn,
provisions Of the legislation.
These duties, however, may not re
quire his entire time, and some ar.
rangement may be made to permit the
General to engage in private business
and at the same time serve in an ad
visory capacity with the army.

CHICAGO, June 7.-The National
League Of Women Voters will present
woman's platform to the Committee
on Platforms and Policies of the Re-
publican National Committee to-mor-
row. Mrs. Maud Wood Park, as head
Of the league. has charge of the sug-
gestions which have been drafted.
"Our platform represents women's
contribution to politics at this time,
said Mrs. Park. These are suggested
planks for the Republican program
representing what we have found to be
the interests of women"
Six planks will be offered. They
deal with % child welfare, (2) educa-
tion, (3) the home and high prices
(4) women in gainful occupations, (5)
public health and morals, and (6) in
dependent citizenship for married
women.
Foreign Marriages Protected
The league believes that American
born women, resident in this country
should not forfeit their citizenship by
marriage with aliens, and that the
alien woman married to an American
should have to meet the same natural
ization requirements as alien men
Federal legislation insuring the women
Of the United States the same status
which now obtains for men is urged.
Regarding public health and morals
the suggested plank commends the
moral protection Of our fighting force.
