PENNSY VISITS IN
NEW YORK'S CAMP
BY A. o. HAYWARD.

CHICAGO, June 1O.-A Tightening up
of the lines of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton was the first evidence here of the
Sproul boom for the presidential nomi-
nation.
You'll not see anything of the Sproul
boom until we spring It in the conven-
ton" today asserted one Of the Sproul
campaign steering committee. 1T is go-
ing fine, however"
Governors Lowden and Sproul met to-
day Their greetings were most cordial.
They did not discuss their own or the
other fellows candidates.
Lowden enthusiast, witness to the
meeting, later made inquiries as to de-
velopment of the Sproul boom.
1T has not crossed our path or Jared
against our lines" he commented.
But Steering Committee Chairman At
terbury and his assistants are working
indefatiguably during the day and holds
ing long, secret conferences in the sve-
ming.
Keen interest is manifested in their
work by Samuel Gompers, veteran labor
leader. and the labor scouts are busy
ferreting out the lines of political en-
deavor followed by the Pennsylvanians.
Gen. Atterbury is no favorite with the
labor ehieftains, especially with the rail-
road brotherhoods. AS vice president Of
the Pennsylvania railroad system he is
opposed to their pet plan of railroad
ownership and operation. They are pre-
pared to prevent success from crowning
his efforts as political campaign
manager.
There is general comment on the evil
dent solidifcation Of the Pennsylvania
delegation. and their follow our Leaders
slogan. 1t is an exemplihcation of the
best and most efficient methods of the
Penrose machine. There is general belief
that Penrose is debating the course that
is being followed.
1t is being commented, also, that dur
ing the last twenty -four hours there
have been frequent conferences among
leaders of the New York delegation AS
a result there is less aimless talk among
the New York delegates concerning presl-
dental candidates. The friendliness OF
members Of the Pennsylvania and New
York delegations is noticeable.
This leads to suggestions that the
leaders of these two great delegations,
commanding Jointly 166 votes, are in
agreement in waiting for some develops
ment in the presidential fight which
could be turned to their advantage
should they work together and Ia har-
mony. There is almost no limit to the
concessions leaders of these two state
delegations could demand and secure IL
their votes were delivered in the conven-
ton.
New York has no prospective candis
date. 1t could not make Sproul by turn
ing to him unless Srroul should develop
much strength outside Pennsylvania.
Sproul workers are conducting their
buttonhole and secret campaign TO learn
just what votes they might reasonably.

York and Pennsylvania are getting ready

these republicans are going 20 get sweat

The same brilliant scene opened to the
view of the spectator. Republicans are
a well set up lot-most Of these dole
gates have q ready money atmosphere
stamped all over them and Uncle Char
lie Edward Russell, the economist, says
two-thirds Of the entire wealth Of the
nation is directly or indirectly repre-
sented within these four walls.
But It isn't the spectacle that Is in-
teresting or important as the delegates
cather-Its the play behind the scenes
that fascinates Imagination.
NOMINATING SPEECHES
MAY BEGIN TOMORROW.
The events of the day killed all chances
of hearing Gov. Aliens speech nominating
Wood today.
1t may come tomorrow.
Allen. spel-binder and eloquent Is
sure to paint picture of the general
that will bring tears to patriotic eyes
for he did not go to France and he stands
for a rigid system of law and order.
There are queer folks here who hint
that Allen may succeed In nominating
himself.
Wood stands a fair chance Of showing
more than 900 votes on the first ballot,
and then when the favorite sons have
been tucked to bed he is likely to pick
up a nice little bundle of scattering
votes.
But somehow everything proclaims that
he can't go over this big top.
VIII Johnson get much of the Wood
stuff? There are few who believe it is
possible.
Johnson and Wood forces have shown
signs here and there of working In tenn
porary harmony TO arrive at immediate
stations, but that was more to shake
down Lowden, they say, than to show
any final trading possibilities.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Gov. William
c. SprouI Of Pennsylvania has had
long and weighty conversation with
Senator Boies Penrose of the same
commonwealth.
In consequence the third day OF
the republican national convention
ushered in the beginning OF
cyclonic drive for Sproul as candi-
date for the nomination.
The Penrose plan is to let the con,
vention run along-into next week,
if possible-while a campaign OF
educating" the delegates as to the
who and why of things proceeds. and
in the end put the governor of Penn
sylvania over, perhaps.
The sproul- Penrose conversation was
by telephone. Gov. Sproul being in Chi
cago and Penrose in Philadelphia.
The governor is not as well known as
some others whose names are before tas

heavy for him to overcome. Not only are
mighty factors pulling the strings here,
and from elsewhere, but publicity de-
partment has been set up, with we'll
known editors directing it. and the WORK
of educating the convention is on.
Sproul badges, posters and buttons mace
their appearance for the first time on the
streets today.

and see John King there in Chicago,
where you are? He's got a private tele-
phone line that runs right to the SEN
ator's bed, so that he only has to move
his arm to reach it. That would be more
convenient for the senator, If he wants
to talk. The senator talks over that line
all day"
II had held the line little longer,

short statement which Penrose had is

Penrose is entirely favorable to the as

CHAIRMAN LODGE HAS
NEW TABLE TO POUND.
There was grim 1ghting stun in the
air when the third session Of the grand
old party pilgrims was called to order
and Chairman Lodge was provided with
a stout, but pathetic, little oaken table
placed on the platform bridge, to beat
his stone Ratchet gayel upon.

he would not accept reservations de-

months ago.
"We pledge the incoming republican
administration not only to prompt
restoration of amity between our own
and all other nations. but also no less
insistently to the making OF agreements
among those nations designed TO preserve
peace for all time, a peace based upon
justice determined by law instead Of by
discussion and force as provided by the
treaty of Versailles. Such a policy was
clearly defined by the congress in the
act of Aug 20, 1916. in these words:
AS CONGRESS SAW
1T LAST AUGUST.
att is hereby declared to be the policy
Of the United States to adjust and settle
lis international disputes through media
ton or arbitration 10 the end that war
may be honorGbly avoided. 1t looks with
apprehension and disfavOr upon a general
increase Of armament throughout the
world. but It realizes that no single ma
ton can disarm and that without a COM
mon agreement upon the subject. every
considerable power must maintain a
relative standing in military strength.
In view OF these premises the president
is authorized and requested TO invite. at
an appropriate time, not later than the
close OF the war in Europe. all the great
governments of the world to send repre-
sentatives to 4 conference which shall be
charged with the duty Of formulating a
plan for a court OF arbitration or other
tribunal. 10 which disputed questions be-
tween nations shall be referred for
adjudication and peaceful settlement, and
TO consider the question of disarmament
and to submit their recommendations to
their respective governments for ap-
prevail
The president attached his signature
to this declaration, but has ignored the
request entirely, and has substituted 4
scheme of his own which is at utter
variance with the plan thus outlined
which, in common with both political
parties and the whole country, he then
favored.

BORAH SCENTS TRAP
FOR JOHNSON.

Smott then appealed to Borah to ac-
cept the plank. but Borah refused.
II do not approve of their action in
refusing to ratify simply because they
didn't get reservations" said Borah. The
plank as drawn, he declared was simply
a trap set to catch the bitter-enders.
Borah told Smoot he would not stay
longer In the meeting. but Smoot i'm
plored him not to bolt. Then the con-
ference with Lodge was decided on.
a paragraph from Johnson's statement
given out last night was regarded as
significant, he said.
AT this time, l have faith in the
honor of the men instructed for me, de-
spite the sinister efforts to swerve them
from their pledged duty.
But they are being subjected to every
inducement to betray their faith. and

thing finally upon that subject.

urged the necessity for avoiding a split
in the convention, but assured Bo-ah and
Mccormick he stood with them. In this
position Lodge opposed Murray Crane Of
Massachusetts who, with the assistance of
Senator Lenroot. Wisconsin, is leading
the fight for the affirmative declaration
for ratification with safeguarding reser-
