JOHNSON BORAH
COMBINE TAKES
DEFINITE STAND
Montague Sees Danger of Split
at Chicago Harmony
Bets Off.
BY JAMES VI. MONTAGUE.
News-Times Correspondent.


CHICAGO. June S.-As Nicholas
Murray Butler would say, the battle
5 Joined. What Nicholas Murray
would mean is the trouble is start
I'd. All hopes that this convention
would finish like a love feast are
allen and cold and dead.
Like all good high class trouble
t was unprecedented. 1t stood not
on the order of its coming, but came
with a rush. And not men, but
issues started IL.
In the Silly night of Mon
day the old guaro leaders sent
Young Theodore Roosevelt TO see
Sen. Johnson.
In the interests Of harmony, SEN
ator." said young Theodore plant
.vely. whom do you want for per
manent chairman? ?"
"Borah." said Johnson.
But. senator" protested young
Theodore, that would not be in the
interest of harmony"
Il know it," said Johnson.
Young Theodore returned TO his
cohorts sadder and a wiser as
semblyman.
In the meantime, other promoters
Of harmony had been 10 ask Sen
Borah about the platform.
Senator" they asked pleasantly
won't you stand for a compromise
plank on the league OF natiOns?"
NO" said Borah.
Your refusal is not IN interest
Of harmony. senator" said the
emissaries reproa chfully.
Il know f." said Borah, so all
harmony bets are off.
The irreconcilable are just as
irrecoucilable as they ever were,
which means that they are consid-
cradle more irreconcilable than so
many wild cats. Everybody who
tried to make them listen 10 rea-
son found that they were bad lis
teners.
The platform row is going to
keep all concerned awake all night
and may result in rough, rude talk
on the floor Of the convention
Wednesday.
Old Guard Nervous.
Meanwhile the fear of a split
isn't putting anybody into any bet
ter humor. The republicans here
gathered don't want 10 split. They
want 10 win. They've been out Of
office eight years. Office holders
can get worn 10 mere shadows in
eight years. The strength of the
irrecOncilables lies in this split
menace, and don't ever fancy that
they don't know IL. While their OPP
pOnents are shaking their fingers at
them, they are shaking their fists
at their opponents.
Don't gather from the foregoing
that the delegates will crowd one
another with benches before a
nomination can be reached. But
before this is over. a true report Of
what the leaders say 10 one another
would never get through the mails,
10 say nothing OF being admitted TO
telegraph wire.
Field Against johnson.
The net result OF Tuesdays pro-
ceedings on and off the convention
floor was a continuation OF the
drive on Johnson with Johnson not
yet licked.
In fact Wood seems TO be the
only contender who is definitely
eliminated All the rest still are
possibilities. The big skirmish for
a decision will take place in the
hotel council rooms Wednesday
night They will not permit the ball
loting TO begin until they think 1t is
fixed, but they may be wrong at
that.
