Bisbee daily review., 1920-06-08

movement to make the temporary or ganization permanent. Sentiment among delegations is strongly against prolonging the convention into next week. and it was argued that is Sena- tor Lodge, temporary chairman were elected to serve also as permenent chairman, formality might be greatly shortened.
 There also was feeling among some delegates against setting up for the critical period of balloting a perma- nent organization which might be elected after a fight and thus might feel obligated to one group or another. Managers for some candidates said they hoped for an agreement continu- ing Senator Lodge as chairman. On all hands, it was declared, how ever, no decision had been reached. Friends of Senator Mccormick of Hi nois, and of former Senator BeverlGge of Indiana, brought forward for the permanent chairmanship, continued their campaigns. The movement to shorten the convention found strong support among western delegates, who have become greatly concerned over prospective congestion of every pas senger traffic west of Chicago next week.
 In addition to the advance guard of the Democratic convention, it was pointed out, thousands will go to Port land for the meeting of the Mystic Shrine. Already reservations of west premium.
 | To make the temporary organiZa- tion permanent would be to run coun.. ter to the usual custom, but it was argued that having gone so far in up- setting precedents the part need not stop for so small matter. Certainly, say experienced ones, the kind of convention now about to begin will be novel thing The big men of past campaigns, they say, will turn in their graves if they could see a great party gathering, going into session without even one boss and with a whole collection of presidential aspir- 1 ants in the convention city. | Upwards of a dozen of those con- sidered possibilities TOT the nominal tion now are here, although most of rthem had said they had no intention of coming. Senator Johnson made no such announcement, however and when he followed the example of Colonel Roosevelt in 1912 and opened his own convention headquarters other candidates decided they could not afford to remain away
 In the dark horse and favorite son talk today there was again mention of Charles E. Hughes along with Senator Harding of Ohio, Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts, and others
 Tomorrow the convention is ex. pected to do more than effect a rem. porary organization, hear Senator Lodges keynote speech as temporary chairman, appoint routine committees and then adjourn to permit the com, mittee work. Some leaders thought If the temporary officers were made permanent, shortening the first day balloting might begin late Wednesday The general belief, however, was that the first roll call was far more likely to come Thursday.
 Chaplain Practices l Everything seems to be set for the opening of the convention tomorrow The chaplain, the Rev Gardner Me Whorter, tried out his voice.
 Worllmen about noon were startled to hear the words Of 8 prayer com ing from the electric amplifyer. hanging about the big hall Lying down their tools for five minutes they heard the clergyman practice
 his prayer.
 Speaking in so large place was new to him, he said, and he wanted to learn how loud he would have to
 speak
