CONVENTION FOUNDER
ING AROUND WITHOUT
LEADERS; MET
YESTERDAY.
JOHNSTON OVATION
Dark Horse Probable; Wood
Losing Out; Other
Matters OF
Concern.

Chicago, June Its old-time lead
ers unhorsed, and it's favorites for the
presidency deadlocked, the republican
party ,will btS iss national conven-
tion here tomorrow under conditions
of uncertainty unparalleled in recent
political history.
Embossed, and largely unorganized,
the delegates were asking one another
tonight in what direction they were
straying, and when a master would
arise to lead them out of the wilder
ness of their own indecision.
In the noisy turmoil of convention
eve, the only definable trend seemed
to be driving Wood, Lowden and
Johnson into a deadlock fight, which
it was recognized everywhere might
destroy them all. The old timers, re-
flecting that it is but step from
deadlocked convention to a stampeded
convention, wondered what might
happen rext unless some tried and
trusted leader settled himself securely
in the saddle.
Many were recalling the Chicago
convention of 1880, when all the favor
ties were deserted after deadlock of
thirty-five ballots, and James A..
Garfield, who had won the convention
by nominating speech, was named.
Talk of dark horse, in which some
'of the more experienced practical pol
ticians joined tonight for the first
time, began to revolve with an in
creasing frankness about the disclo-
sures of the Senate investigation OF
campaign expenditures. AT many
scattering conferences those who ad-
vocate a dark horse nomination pre-
dicted that in the end no man whose
name was involved at all in the evil
dence of the investigating committee
could be put before the country as the
party's choice.
In the main, however, the leaders
and near-leaders caucused and con-
ferred and brought forth nothing.
Even those who held the whip hand
over a few delegates here and there
seemed unable to get together with
the other greater and lesser potential
dictators of party policy. The result
was foggy picture of the posslbili-
ties of the next few days.
/ 1t became apparent that unless
there came a dramatic and unexpect-
ed change, the first ballot to be taken
/ Wednesday or Thursday will record
votes for between fifteen and twenty
candidates for the presidency, with
scarcely more than half enough to
nominate in the Wood, Lowden OF
Johnson column.
To what extent the managers for
the leading three can hold their dele
gates in line after an unsuccessful
test of strength is a subject of con-
troversy. There are those who con
tradict the claims of the Wood, Low.
den and Johnson whips that their or.
ganizations are cohesive enough tc
stand the strain Of failure to nomi

WON IN SEVENTH
Game Witnessed by More Than
a Thousand People; Teams
Showed Exceptionally
Good Form.

The Retailers led by Captain vii.
liam Propst drew the first blood in
the city league, winning the opening
game yesterday AFTERNOON, score 3
to /.
1t was anybody's game up to the
seventh and last inning when Doth
crow smashed one to left field and
Yerby muffed it. Up to that time
the score was tied and it looked like
anybody's game.
The game was witnessed by more
than thousand people The bleacher
stands which comfortably seat 60C
people were filled and there was an
overflow crowd at each end of the
stands and several hundred watched
the game from far afield
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock Umpires
McRee and Drake called "Play Ball"
and the game was on. The teams set
tied down from the start to good
steady ball, much to the surprise OF
the fans who looked for more or less
loose and inaccurate playing in the
opening game.
For three innings the teams bat
tied with neither side scoring. The
High School sent runner across in
the fourth and it looked like the old
time pep of the 1919 team was com
ing back again this year, but the Re-
tailers put crimp in them in the
seventh and brought home the bacon
for themselves.
Lindamood was on the mound for
the Retailers and yielded seven hits

CAME ONE OF AMERICAS RICH
EST MEN.

The slogan of the Y NJ c. A thrift
campaign Master Money Matters or
They VIII Master You" was said by
Benjamin Franklin. This campaign is
being started on Franklins birthday
because Franklin wrote more and bet
ter on. thrift than any one since his
time. Franklin became one of the
richest men in America in his day
not only in money, but in muscle
mind and morals. He was a scien-
list, a business man, a linguist, dip
lomat anda philosopher. He always
paid as he went.
He founded the University of Penn
sylvania, promoted the first public Ii
brary in America, organized an in
suranee company, made some adj
vanced experiments in electricity. in
vented spectacles, manufactured the
first cook stove, started the Satur-
day Evening Post, went to France and
borrowed the money on which Wash
ington fought the war, and many
other things. al because he had at
an early age established a broad
conception of thrift as a life habit
The program that the local associa-
tion expects to put on in Pensacola
during the week of January II will
be of such character that men and
boys alike will be attracted to the
habit of conserving wisely. spend
ing wisely and givin wisely. a local
committee is being formed and will
have charge of the campaign.
