FACTS OF INTEREST OF FIRST
REP. NATIONAL CONVENTION

Chicago, June AT the first republi-
can national convention held in Chicago
sixty years ago:
An Iowa delegate walked 15O miles to
get to railroad t2 come to the conven-
ton.
Special railroad rates were made and
Chicago's population probably doubled in
convention week
Hotel rooms were $50 to $3.50 day.
Crowds were so great that billiard ia
bles in the hotels were pressed into SER
vice as beds.
The "Wigwam" in which the. convention
was held was probably about the size of
the annex to the Coliseum in which this
years convention takes place.
The Wigwam's profuse decoration was
largely furnished by the republican wom-
en- of Chicago They were invited to come
armed and equipped with those formid-
able weapons, needles, thimbles, scissors,
etc, etc"
When special train pulled in with the
Massachusetts and other New England
| delegates, rockets were sent up and a
cannon doomed TO announce their arrival
to waiting friends.
The gallery in the convention hall was
reserved for wn-.ssn and their escorts.
Because of the great number of men un-
able to get in. one man was reported
| trying to ge tinto the gallery with an In
dian squaw selling moccasins as his Gre
| dentials. but was excluded on the ground
! that she was no lady.
The two chief nominating speeches
! were made in less than 80 words. Abra-
ham Lincoln was placed in nomination In
/ 20 words.
| The making OF the presidential nomi
nation was announced 10 the city by thC
| firing of cannon placed on the roof o.
| the convention hall.
! That night cannot and rockets were
fired, bonfires lighted and multitudinou:
parades formed. their participants carry

rakes and fishing poles.

DEPLoREs THE PAUCITY
OF WOMEN LEGISLATORS

Geneva. Switzerland, June Helen
Ring Robinson, formerly state senator Of
Colorado. was one of the speakers today
at the mass meeting held here by the con-
gress Of the International Woman Suf-
frage alliance and addressed exclusively
by women members or former members
of parliaments or other governing bodies.
1T is a great pity that there have been
relatively so few women legislators in my
own country" she said. In. our various
state legislatures some sixty different
women have served. But they have been
spread over a good deal of territory and
time, which makes the spreading much
too thin.
so far but one woman has been elect
ed to our national congress, and during
the entire term of Office of Congresswom-
an Rankin the press never ceased debat-
ing whether she was a flower or a vege-
table For myself. I vote for the vege-
table What the world needs today is d
big crop of vegetables, and nature always
looks out for the flowers anyway.
There are four callings for which
women are plainly better fitted than are
men-acting, caring for children, nursing
| and legislating. I do not say women have
surpassed men as legislators, but I dc
say they are inherently better fitted fol
! legislating, which should deal primarily
with improvements in social relations.
Count Sulein is credited with saying
that the great war was caused by a quar-
rel between Hungary and Serbia over The
shipment of hogs. All the great wars o.
! history have been caused by quarrels oyel
| the shipment of hogs-in some guise Of
! other. All of the legislation back of thost
wars has been built on hogs and the be

GALVESTON UNDER MARTIAL LAW;
RESULT OF sTEVEDORES' STRIKE

Austin, Texas, June State troops
which began mobilzing in their home
towns Thursday, tonight were arriving
at Galveston, which was placed under
martial law today by Governor W. P
Hobby The governors action was
brought about by the reported serious
congestion of freight shipments there as
a result of a strike of longshoremen.
At the state house, it was said ap-
proximately 500 guardsmen would be in
Galveston tonight and that 500 more
would arrive tomorrow. The situation
was reported quiet.
In a statement late today supplement-
ing his formal proclamation of martial
law, Governor Hobby said he regretted
the necessity of sending troops to Gal
weston. The freight congestion had
reached the point, however, where it was
a question whether the best interests OF
the state should be "subordinated to a
local controversy" he said.

General Pershing
Requests Retirement \
Asks Permission to Leave the
Active Service Within the
Next Few Months.

Washington, June 7.-General Pershing
wrote Secretary Baker today asking
permission to retire from active service
within the next few months
The former commander of the Amer
lean expeditionary forces declared that
after the completion of work incident
to the recently enacted army reorgan-
ization bill his normal duties would re-
quire only a portion of his time and,
therefore, he wished to be free to en-
gage in something more active"
The general did not indicate the ma
ture of his future activities.
General Pershing assured Secretary
Baker that he would remain in the ser
vice until work involved in the carry
ing out of the army reorganization act

surance that in any future crisis he
would be at the call of the nation.
The generals letter 10 Secretary Ba-
ker was made public by Colonel }. U
Quekmeyer, his aide. 1t follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
referring to our conversation OF
few days ago l wish TO say that 1t has
long been my desire to return to civl
life. Throughout my military career
have been very much occupied, and tht
assignments that have fallen to my lo
less important
1T now appears that my duties arr
not likely to be of a character that vii
require more than a portion Of my time
Under the circumstances, I feel that ar
ter the completion of the work contem
| plated by the army reorganization act
| could relinquish military duty withou
detriment to the service and thus b.
| free to engage in something more active
| Therefore, unless a situation shoult
develop to justify my remaining, con
| template taking the step indicated with
| in the next few months
/ Should the necessity arise in tim
| of crisis or otherwise. l assure you. MI
Secretary, that l shall stand ready t
serve my country in the future as hav
in the past.
with great respect and high esteem
! l remain very sincerely,
/ JOHN J. PERSHINC."
! The expeditionary commander will re
tire with the rank of full general, tina
title for life having been conferred o
him by congress after his return fror
France General Pershing will be siXt
years old next September and would nc
reach the retirement age until 1924.
