HOPE TO BRING
EDITORS OF THE
NATION TO miami

Miami, May 26.-To secure the
1921 convention of the National Edi,
tIr.al association, the Miami Cham
Der of Commerce will make great
effort nd on Saturday the bord of
directors met with two Florida men,
Gers OF the association to formulate
plans. The two representatives were
]. E. Junkin Of this city and George
E. Hosmer, editor of the Manatee Riv-
CT Journal at Bradentown.
The Chamber of Commerce is en-.
teavoring to find $50 cocoanuts to
send to the convention which opens
this week in Boston. It will also send
& letter Of invitation and other invi.
tations will 60 from the rotary club,
advertising club and city council.
The advertising which Florida would
receive from the proposed visit of the
newspaper men was estimated by Mr..
Hosmer as worth a quarter of a mil
lion dollars.
In 1916 nd 1917 this city tried alone
to secure the convention. Now the
proposition is to have the principal
cities Of the state cooperate and
bring the editorial writer's to Florida
to hold one-day session at Pensa-
cola, another at Tampa. another at
Miami, and final meeting in Jack
sonville, with play-days and sight
seeing trips in between. This timer
airy, bringing the visitors down the
West coast and up the East coast, vt
is thought would give them a good
look at Florida and provide them
with something to write about.
This years convention will be held
in Boston May 81 to June 5. Follow
ing the business sessions the mem
bers of the convention will leave on
a three weeks tour OF eastern Can
ada. Mr.. and Mrs. Junkin are leav
ing today for Boston. Mr.. Hosmer
left Sunday morning. Both Mr.. Hos
mer and Mr.. Junkin are past pres!
dents of the association, and it Is be-
l'eved their influence at the CONVEX
ton will tell greatly in the Florida
drive.

DRAW ISSUE
OVER PEACE
Wilson Strategy Forces
Opponents to Make
First Move.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(SpeciaI to The Argus

Washington, D. c., May %
President Wilson has not merely
his political opponents but his
friends guessing as to his next
move in the treaty situation, but
unless the president changes his
mimi abruptly his present maneu-
yer is to keep the treaty of Yer
sailles in the White house either
until the two political conventions
have met and declared themselves
and a new disposition is manifest
ed toward the document or until
the American people have shown
by their votes that they sustain or
repudiate the present membership
OF the senate.
The Republicans were eager for
the president to act on the Knox
peace resolution. The Democrats
didn't filibuster or engage in pro-
longed debate but hastened the
resolution to the White house. The
Republicans expected the veto but
also expected the treaty to come
back to the Senate with a state
ment of the reservations he would
accept. Then. having selected Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge to make
the keynote speech at the Republi-
can national convention, the ex-
pectation was that the Massa-
chuSettS senator would discuss the
phraseology of reservations and
that the issue would again appear
to be only one of language. At any
rate it was believed the people at
the polls wouldn't be able to dis
tinguish between the Democratic
or Republican kind of reservations
and that the tr,aty question would
be lost in a maze OF controversies
over domestic policies.
Lets Republicans State Case.
But the president is unwilling to
play into Republican hands. He
plans to make it as uncomfortable
as possible for his opponents. He
is waiting to see what the Repub-
lican national convention with a
temporary chairman advocating
ratification of the treaty with res
ervations will do about nominating
a man who denounces the whole
treaty, reservations and all
: namely Senators Hiram Johnson or
Philander C. Knox.
Mr.. Wilson has cons 1lt-d no.
body in the senate and Las worked
out his own strategy. His tactics
are not altogether pleasing to his
Democratic colleagues but they ad.
nit he is playing bold hand and
may succeed eventually in keeping
the treaty issue clear cut by re-
tanning the Versailles pact at the
White house. Several senators on
the Democratic side who are not
| particularly in favor of the presi-
dents supposed plan, do neyerthe-
| less see various grounds upon
which Mr.. Wilson could justify his

WIN PRAISE OF
G. C.0.P.LEADERS
Workers Find Brain Way to Mems
Hearts-GOt TO Hand II tO EN-,
Says Veteran Chiefs.
BY HAROLD ID. JACOBS,

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago, May 29.-WOmen pOliti-
cal workers are introducing q new
Technique in national campaign af-
fairs by canvassing the delegates
to the Republican convention
through their wives.
By revamping the old adage that
1.-The way to mans heart is
through his stomach" they have
made it read that 1.-The way to a
mans brain is through his heart,
and are acting accordingly.
The work Of canvassing the wom-
en- delegates has been practically
turned over to the women's organ
izations by the national managers
Of candidates.
Veteran politicians who fought
woman suffrage to the last gasp
and who came to Chicago prepared
to have big laugh about the pink
tea politics" they expected to dis
cover, are being forced into reluct-
ant admiration.
You've got to hand it to en-
one of these old-timers said today.
They've learned in a few months
what it takes the average man
years to learn. If the work they're
doing now is any indication of fu-
ture development along the same
lines. the next generation may see
woman in the White house-and
l amt so darned sure it wouldn't
be q good thing"
Probably the first women's or
ganizations to take up seriously
plans for implanting their candi-
dates propaganda through the
wives of the delegates were the
Women's LOwden league Of Illinois,
headed by Mrs. Frederick A. Lo-
REM, and the women's division Of
the Lowden campaign committee
of which Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns is
chairman. The latter body, which
claims a membership Of $4,000, has
already completed plans for volun-
teer workers to become personally
acquainted with every woman dele
gate and with the wife of every
man delegate.
At "HOOver House."
| The Hoover women's campaign
committee, under the leadership OF
Mrs. Benjamin F. Langworthy, has
taken over building near the coli
scum, which will be known as the
Hoover house." where women

be entertained. Volunteer workers
for this committee are featuring

threatening to seize Sussak, in the

are preparing military measures to
resist d'AnnunziO.
The Italian embassy and the Ital-
ian peace delegation had no con-
firmation Of the Belgrade reports
of d'Annunzio' continued advance
