All Leading Candidates Try

For Presidency.
LODGE SPEAKS TODAY
All Factions Sure of Victory

BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE.
News-Timcs Correspondent.

CHICAGO. H.. June Although
the national republican convention
convenos Tuesday. the starting will
not be started till the stopping is
stopped.
The convention is still at the stop
ping stage. The Wood and Johnson
De Pc are trying 20 stop the Low
de-. boom. The LOwden people are
trying TO stop the Wood ana John
son boom Wood LOwden and John
son PEOPLE are trying 10 stop the
SprOul boom, plans for which were
spilled prematurely Monday. Every
delegate who isn't waving a red flag

sense) is standing with his hand on
a derailing switch
Some Speed.
10 matter how much momentus
the big booms have gathered the
one that gets by all this retarding
apparatus Will have TO do Consid-
era bic travelling.
TOday's program Will consist os-
tensibly of affecting permanent or
ganlzations and OF listening TO
9 9.00o-wOrd speech by Henry Cabot
Lodge. The real program is TO be
the completion IL possible of the
stopping OF the various formidable
booms and the construction Of a
new one which can go over.
This, OF course, is q large order.
Whether IL can be done or not is a
thing upon which one cannot safely
risk any money. But the tactics
will be all stopping tactics in any
event, and If any bunch OF delegates
can stop the other punches without
erfa~w1fva~ Fhrve4 e4enTrrnc In
that bunch of delegates can name
their man the standard bearer Of
the grand old party for the ensuing
campaign.

Don't think because you read IN
the papers that the candidates ap-
pear to be listless that they are not

that didn't prevent a lot Of trouble

Wrong or right, every delegate
here believes that the man who IS
nominated in Chicago this week will
be elected president of the United

ST. JOSEPH MAN,
So YEARS OLD, TO
BE G. 0. P. GUEST
Addison e.. Proctor Was One
of Delegates Who Nomi-
mated Lincoln.
Special to The News Times !:


ST. JOSEPH, Mich. June He
is not a presidential candidate.
He is not a committeeman, nor q
manager of some prospective native,
nor political wiseacre. He is not
even delegate TO the republican
convention of 1920.
Yet. in point of ability TO COM
mand the attention OF those in
power. it is doubtful if there Will be
a dozen men in all the thousands
who are in attendance of the great
cOnclaye at Chicago who will receive
greater or more elaborate homage.
His name is Addison G.. Proctor,
aged IS, of this city. Mr.. Proctor
left today for Chicago, where he will
be the honOred guest Of the G.. o. p.
convention at the special invitation
of the national committee, occupy
ing a chair on the platform.
y Lincoln Delegate.
The reason for all this attention
to an unassuming and very elderly
gentleman lies in the fact that in
1860, as 21-year-old youth from
border-line Kansas. Addison G.
Proctor attended the convention
that nominated Abraham Lincoln as
a delegate, the youngest of the four
hundred and siXty-siX who made up
that now far famed assembly.
So far as is known, Mr.. Proctor
is the only surviving delegate TO the
historic meet. He goes 10 the 1920
convention well preserved, keen in
mind and still a very active republi-
can.
While attending the convention
Mr.. Proctor is the guest of the Chi
Cago Historical society, before which
body a few months ago he delivered
an address on the Convention of
1862 which is published by that
society as one of the most authen-
tic glimpses yet presented Of the
Lincoln nomination, the reasons for
and methods employed 10 attain II.
Secs Dark Horse"
In Mr.. Procter's opinion the con-
vention which opens in Chicago
Tuesday is not unlike the one OF
sixty years ago.
He believes that a dark horse will
be the nominee OF the G. Q. Z.
Says Mr. Proctor: THE times are
much alike. None Of the accepted
leaders, such as Seward Of New
York, Chase Of Ohio, Cameron of
Pennsylvania or Bates OF Missouri
would be accepted, and the Lincoln
candidacy was more in the nature Of
a dark horse than anything else
Even the cunning and astute Tweed
could not win for Seward-and de-
spite his seeming control Of the sit
uation II befell a few men under
Horace Greeley 20 turn the tide for
Lincoln.
Il do not think that any Of the
candidates now leading Will be Sc
lected, continued Mr.. Proctor. The
people do not want Wood or any
other military man. johnson. is

JUDGE ORDERS
ALLF|NES PAID

NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. ST.
The appearance in court this morn
ing of William Bronsky, of South
Amboy, moved Judge Daily to make
a statement today in which he made
1t very plain that all those who were
fined in the county court, and up to
the present time succeeded in evad-
ing the payment of all or part of the
fine, will be taken into custody by
the sheriff and held until the fine is
paid. Outstanding fines up to the
present time total approximately
$4,000.
Bronsky was arrested and convict
ed in 1915 on an assault and battery
charge. and fined 800. None of
this fine was paid, and the man was
apprehended by County Detective
Peter Schwei-Kert who was assign
ed to the case by Prosecutor Strick-
er. Judge DAILY this morning order
ed the man committed until the fine
is paid, and he stated that all others
taken into custody on a similar
charge would also be held until the
fine is paid unless they have a very
good reason to present.
The judge continued that he did
not believe it to be the duty of the
court or the prosecutor to collect
the fines, aggregating several thou
sands of dollars, but as a matter of
public opinion he believed it to be
up to the sheriff to collect the fines.
The judge stated that the fines
should be collected if the jails have
to be filled.
