Four Noted Republicans
Offer to Assist Hooker
Mccormick, Poindexter, Bever-
id &c and Allen Would Cam
paign for Him if Nominated

Elon H. Hooker, candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor,
announced last night that four of the
most prominent Republicans of the
country have offered to come to New
York State to campaign for him and
for the state and national tickets, if he
is nominated for Governor. The four
men are Medill Mccormick, United
States Senator, of Illinois; Miles Poin-
dexter, United States Senator, of Wash.
ington; Albert J. Beveridge. ex-United
States Senator, of Indiana; Governor
Henry J. Allen Of Kansas
The significance Of open advocacy of
the Republican ticket in this state by
such spokesmen of the progressive wing
of the party is being emphasized by
Mr.. Hooker's supporters as one Of the
strongest reasons for his nomination.
Friends of Mr.. Hooker point out that
in the coming election New York prob
ably will become the one big pivotal
state, and that everything possible must
be done to pile up a large majority for
the Republican ticket. Results in New
York will be known in the far Western
and Coast states several hours before
the polls close there, and it is believed
that big vote for Harding and Cool
ldge here would have pronounced eff
feet on the vote in those states.
Mr. Hooker this week is starting an
automobile tour of the state, speaking
in nearly all Of the counties outside Of
those in which other candidates for the
Republican nomination for Governor
live. He plans to travel through the
state, meeting the leaders and voters
up to the time of the state convention.

WASHINGTON, June 27.--Plans Of

with the voters in that section.
Under present plans the nominee will
spend virtually all his time between
now and the election at his home in
Marion, Ohio, speaking to delegations
from various parts Of the country who
will be made by the Senator to speak
on set occasions in nearby cities.
Requests that the Senator change his
plans so as to include Western
swing have been made to the nominee
IN person and also to Chairman Hays
of the Republican National Committee
by a number of party leaders from
the West.
Senator Harding after his return to
Washington tomorrow night will spend
a busy week here before leaving next
Saturday for Marion. Besides his con-
ference with Governor Coolidge, on
Wednesday, the Senator plans to con-
tihue his conferences with Progressive
leaders, but the names of those he will
see have not been made public.
Tuesday the nominee will make an
Americanization speech for a phono-

through the Republican National Com
mittee on July a. Before leaving Wash
ington he will have final conference
with Harry M. Daugherty, Of Colum-

the pre-convention campaign.
Senator Harding plans to move his
entire Office force, consisting of about
twenty persons, to Marion.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 27.-The
failure of Governor Roberts thus far
to call the state Legislature in sess sion,
as he promised, to ratify the equal
suffrage amendment, has awakenedin-
terest all over the country If the
Tennessee Legislature should ratify it
would make the thirty sixth state
enough to make the suffrage amend
ment effective
There are 100000 women of voting
age awaiting the movements of Gov
ernor Roberts. In order to be of use
in the Presidential election the amend
ment should be ratified by August Is,
so that the women in the many states
could qualify in the matter of poll
taxes, residence and other state re-
quirements.
The great fight of Delaware has been
transferred to Tennessee. Whether the
Legislature is favorable is to be deter
mined.
A new state election is approaching
and the state is now in the midst of
not campaign. President Wilson, the
Democratic National Committee, At
torney General Palmer and the women
OF the country' have asked the Demo-
Gratis of Tennessee to pause long
enough in their bitter fight to give the
I,OOO, 900 women chance to help name
the next President. The Legislature
is bit ragged, seventeen members
having resigned and taken jobs with the
state administration. The Senate re-
Gently passed bill for statewide
suffrage by one majority, showing that
the sentiment in the upper body is not
very strong.
Promised to Call Session
While Governor Roberts has wired
President Wilson that he will call the
special session Sin ample time" for
women to vote in the November cleo
ton provided the Federal suffrage
amendment is ratified, the Governors
enemies are using the fact that he has
set no date for the call to bolster up
the opposition to the Governors nom
nation at the August primary. As to
whether or not the majority of the
people are favorable to the SUFFRAGE
amendment is a moot question.
Foes of Governor Roberts. including

Old-Fashioned Flavor Clings
10 Assemblage of Democrats
Brass Bands and Marching Clubs Give Color to
Convention Preliminaries, and Buttons and
Badges Play Minor Part in the Proceedings

SAN FRANCISCO. June Pin many
respects the Democratic National Con-
vention is markedly unlike the Chicago
convention of the Republicans. 1t is
more "old timey." 1t savors of march
ing clubs and brass band serenades,
with less of the buttons sticking and
badge pnning work in which women
workers were a large element at the
Republican convention. 1t does, how
ever, carry with it the same great army
of delegates and camp followers who
mill ceaselessly about the streets and
hotel lobbies day arsl night searching
for crumbs of information of what is
really going on and getting very little
San Francisco has opened wide it's
hospitable arms and is entertaining the
visitors in every conceivable way.
At its First National Convention the
city feels that it may have the honor
of having a President chosen within
the opportunity.
Hall an Exposition Relic
Tomorrow the delegates have their
first meeting and get their first look at
the inside of the great convention hall
which stands in the Civic Center 1t
is one of the permanent buildings
which will be recalled by visitors to
the exposition. The wide floor of the
main assembly room has been filled
with rows of chairs for the delegates
and alternates, and in the commodious
galleries thousands of seats have been
placed. The great pipe organ, with a
brass band, will play during dull mo-
ments, while the convention is mark
ing time waiting for committees to
finish work. for the thousands down
in front and behind the platform where
the speakers and party notables will
be seated. Electric amplifying devices
to carry the voices of the speakers to
the furthest corners of the hall have
been insalled.
For light, entilation and general
comfort. the auditorium is probably
the most satisfactory place in which a
national convention ever assembled.
Miles of special telephone and tele-
graph wires have been strung into the
section set apart for the newspaper
correspondents, leading directly up to

tacks on Roberts being the passage by
the present Legislature of tax laws, a
public utility measure and state po-
lice bill, which has created a great
furore
The tax law provides for the raising
of the property valuations many fold,
while the utilities bill has taken from
municipalities all authority over public
service corporations. Organized labor
is openly fighting Governor Roberts be-
cause Of the state police bill, and as
result the Governor has proclaimed his
adhesion to the open shop" policy.
Publisher Seen as Power
Democratic politicians are authority
for the statement that the effort to
defeat Governor Roberts for renomina
tlon is step toward the defeat of
Senator Kenneth D. Mcclellan two years
hence, and that former Senator Luke
Lea, publisher of "The Nashville Ten
nessean," is the real power behind the
movement. 1t is said that should Rob-
Gus contender for the Senatorial toga;
hence the move to put clog in his
ambitions at this time. 1t is believed
that Lea is seeking to return to the
Senate and that he will be a candidate
against McKelar.
Passage of the tax laws, which were
fathered by Roberts. has been seized
upon by the opposition as campaign
thunder, and the fight for the nomina-
ton promises to be spectacular. One
fact that seems to have been over
looked in the discussion of the special
session Of the Legislature is that the
suffrage amendment is only an incid-
dent, it being probable that the Gov
ernor will embody in the call repeal or
modification of the tax statute, which
is now the bone of contention among
political factions.

Prof. Alexander Silverman has in
vented new illumination for the NIL
croscope, whose special advantage is
that IL gives n very strong light upon
the object examined, SO that opaque
and translucent bodies can be rs readi-
ly studied as transparent ones. The
top of the object or the side can be
seen with all the variations Of its sur
face. 1t is particularly valuable in
testing samples of metal since 1t
shows the presence Of blow holes and
pits and much detail not hitherto Wis.,

perts Since it shows the threads Of a
