NEXT CONVENTION
WILL Be BOSSED,
SAYS MONTAGUE
An Unenthusiastic Gathering
Sends Out Clarion Call
for Leader.
BY JAMES MONTAGUE.

CHICAGO, H., June 11.-There
may never be another national re-
publican convention, but. If there is
one. it will have a boss. They tried
a de-bOssed convention here in Chi
cago. and they didn't like it. Self
determination may work all right
in the primaries, but it is a total
loss in a republican convention.
For a week. the delegates have
been wandering around here in the
untrodden ways OF independence.
They turned 10 Uncle Murray Crane.
and found that he was so wrapped
up in a mantle Of caution that he
would as soon order a drink as a
delegate, and ordering a drink
around here simply isn't done by
rich and respectable old gentlemen
from New England.
Things Were Quiet.
For days the delegates went about
piteously begging first one man and
then another TO tell them what 10
do The situation got jammeder
and jammeder and still no clarion
notes of command rang out.
When they finally got down TO
nominations. they had no program,
and work that could have been
done in 20 minutes occupied many
dreary hours.
Now they have got a candidate
they won't know whether they like
him or not unless somebody will
tell them. There has been no en-
thusiasm in the proceedings be-
cause there has been nobody to
start II, IL takes a boss even TO start
a first class fight.
The Primary Law.
I'm not knocking the primary law
or anything like that, il is a good
law back home, you can go into a
ballot box. pick out your favorite
son and vote for him, without the
aid of OF consent OF any boss on
earth But upward Of a thousand
men. more than half of them per-
feet strangers TO one another meet
in a strange city and are expected
without any direction to make a
momento7s decision IN less than a
week-ends time, they simply can't
do IL.
You couldn't get away with that
in business and you can't get away
with II I'm politics. II the primary
law is 10 prevail the convention
must go. you can't have both OF
them without the same kind Of a
pointless snarl that has been GO
ing on in Chicago this week.

special counsel for the vigilance
committee of the Associated clubs

merchants and prOfesoisnal men at
the Country club last night.
Mr.. Lee was presented TO a joint
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce, Rotary club, Kiwanis club
and University club by the Advertis-
ing club OF South Bend. He spoke
for an hour and a half following
dinner. and his remarks might well
be used as a basis for the most
thrilling novel ever woven OF and
about the great romance Of COM
merce.
c. A. Macdonald, president of tho
advertising club, presided at the
meeting In the forced absence of
A. r. Erskine, Rome c. Stephenson
acted as tOastmaster. Frank Green,

inimitable way an old story made
new. and always interesting, Of the
battle OF the better business bureau
Of the associated clubs with crooks
OF printed words who are constant
ly endangering the reputation OF
business through fraudulent adyer-
tising
After recounting the first spectac-
ular prosecutions engineered by the
vigilance committee, Mr.. Lee de-
clared that 90 percent OF its work
was unknown TO the general public.
He outlined the methods of pro-
ceedure 10 explain this. He told
how legitimate business which had
misrepresented things through no
fault Of it's own was simply warned:
how the more fragrant violators OF
truth i'm advertising were definitely
submerged by means of bulletins.
and how the real crooks were prose-
cuted 10 the limit Of the law. Only
these latter, he said, came to gem
eral public notice.
In regard TO the bulletins. he said
that they were more deadly than
the law. because they were believed.
Years of careful. conscientious ac-
tivity by the associated clubs has
brought this condition about, he de-
clared citing incidents in Detroit

West Seventeen street home early

Ii was one Of the most battling mys-
teries with which they have had to

determine whether Mr.. Elwell was
murdered or committed suicide, his
associates in the social and club life
OF the city were closely questioned
by the police. who declined TO reveal
the result OF their investigation.
Hunt For Weapon.
The mystery was intensified by
failure OF the police TO find the
weapon with which Mr.. Elwell had
been shot His housekeeper. Mrs.
Marie Larson. found him in the liv-
ing room Of his home at $50 Friday
morning seated in an arm chair fac
ing the street window

taken by Mr.. Elwell. The circum-
stances indicate the shooting took
