Hard To Get Line.
You, can listen to group after
group urging the claims of favor
lite sons without ever hearing the
name OF the subjugator of the Bos-
ton police. 1t is known, however
that Mr.. CIanc Is in no way taken
by either of tho three leaders hc-
fore the contention. His intimate
friendship with Taft hardly makes
possible any support of johnson.
concerning whose ambiguous posi-
ton in 1915 one hears plenty of
bitter comment. 1t is known that
Mr.. Crane is less of a reactionary
than PenFose. and the general eX-
pectation is that when his posi-
ton Is made known he will be found
supportiI & one of the more liberal
candidates not now in the forefront
But whatever may be the intents
ard purposes of these two cryptic
gentlemen, the fact remains that
today, one week before the gavel
will fall at the Coliseum. the choice
Of that convention Is just as much
a matter of doubt as it was when
the call was issued last December.
So close is the race between the
three men who have made a vigor-
Gus fight for delegates, that the
throwing of the Joint forces of Pen
rose and Crane to either would noh-
inate him. bu: without such aid none
of the three can possibly he nom
mated without prolonged ballnting
and a gradual assertion of strength
from his rivals that is not expected
to happen.
Too Many Dark Horses.
There are too many dark horses
and too many candidates who,
though not mastering any consid-
cradle number of delegates. have
still a strong popular support for
the big three to fight it out with
out interference. Perhaps it may
be Knox, perhaps Sproul or Hoover
or Butler or Allen, but one thing
is becoming evident. the Republic
ans are not quite so contemptu-
Gus of their Democratic adversarics
as they were six weeks ago. They
are going to seek a candidate who
will poll not only the Republican
vote. but who will make inroads on
the enemy as well.
This being Decoration Day. Gov.
Lowden had the best of his adver-
saries by riding in the parade of
veterans. Just now publicity is
sought with avidity by most of the
candidates. Johnson is to make
the entry of a conqueror to the
city Thursday night with bands
and red FIRE, and has a mass meet
ing at the Auditorium Saturday.
1t Is reported today that Gen.
Wood is to seek a proxy in the
convention and sit there. though
the rules deny him a voice.

Rome. Jan. 26. Allessandro Volta
the father OF experimental electricity
the inventor of the yoltaic pile and
the man after whom the electric volt
was named, is TO be honored with a
monument in Rome which will prob
ably be unveiled in 1927, the hW
dredth anniversary of his death
The movement for the recognition
of the services of this pioneer Italian
electrician to humanity was launched
lat a recent dinner OF the Italian Al
pine Club by Luigi Spada, secretary
of the Rome branch OF the club.
Volta was a native Of Como and won
fame as a professor of physics both
at Como and Padua. Although he
made many discoveries and inventions
in electricity his Noltaic pile is the
one upon which his fame rests chiefly.
Napoleon !, the Emperor of Aus
tria and the British Royal Society
awarded him medals and invited him
to demonstrate the pile. which was a
series of discs of dissimilar metal.
such as copper annd zinc, laid up with
discs of cloth or paper between them
