Bare Legged Women and Girls

SWEDEN AND FINLAND
ARE NEARING A BREAK
Critical Situation as Result Of
Dispute Over Aland
Islands.

| Stockholm, June 20.--A crit ical sit,Ia-
| ton has arisen between Sweden and
| Finland over Sweden s attitude toward o
delegation from the Aland Islands which
represented TO the Swedish government
| that the population Of the islands desired
| sclf-determination on the basis OF ref
ercndum. After sharp exchange OF
notes between the two governments a
battalion Of Finnish troops has been land
ed on Aland and encamped near Marie
| hamn
The Finnish government has arrested
two leaders Of the Aland deputation on "A
charge of high treason.
Sweden has dispatched a note TO Finland
urging the Finnish government to con-
sent to plcbiscite by which the popula-
ton of the islands would decide whether
they shall belong to Sweden or Finland,
but it is understood the Fin ni,h govern
ment Is mistaken in its determination to
oppose any such measure.
Official opinion here is that Finland s
attitude is based upon the assumption
that the initiative for separstlo Of the
Alands from Finland was taken in Sweden,
whereas. il is declared, the agitation began
with Alanders who based their right of
self elf-determination on historical grounds
and upon principles recognized by the
League of Notions.
The Finnish government has annoupc-
cd that it absolutely rejects all such
claims as are irreconciable with her
sovereignty over the Alands, which Swe ,cn
recognized without reservation"
The Aland archipelago. in the Gulf of
Bothnla, consists Of so inhabited islands,
with a population of "a, 900 of whom ~,
600 reside on Aland island, the principal
town of which is Mariehamn. The r.
lands formerly belonged II Sweden but
were taken by Russia in 1909. The Finnish
government holds that the political inn
portancc of the islands is SO great that no
Finnish government could cede them to
foreign power and that united with
Sweden they would constitute n constant
source of danger 10 Finland.

NOMINATING SPEECHES
OF EARLY Conventions
Were Very Brief Compared to the
Oratory Marking This
Years Meetings.

Chicago. July THE nomination ora
| tory which marks the two great political
conventions this year is in sharp contras,
to the nominating speeches OF the early
days of the parties. This has been brought
out afresh by inquiry at the Chicago
Historical Society and the Newberry
Library here.
In the first great Republican conven-
tion Abraham Lincoln " AS nominated foi
the first time, by Mr.. J,f0d of Illinois,
in these words:
IL desire on behalf of the delegation
from Illinois to put in nomination as .
candidate for president of the United
States Abraham Lincoln of Illinois"
The first national nominating convcn-
ton of the Democratic party was held
2S years earlier, ia Baltimore, May 81.
%, 1882. 1t was at this gathering that
Andrew Jackson was endorsed for his
second term. Jackson had been nomi-
mated previously in anumber of states by
the methods which were then passing
away and according to the Newberry
Library it is doubtful if there was any
speech at all placing him in nomination
at the first Democratic national convention
The business of this convention was prin-
cipally to nominate for the vicc-presi-
dency.
The convention adopted resolution
concurring in Jackson's repeated nom
nations" The resolution was drawn in
60 words.
Previous to that time (from 1900
to 1901 nominations for the presidency
and vice-presidency, the well-known ref
erence library says, were by Congrcssion-
