SNAP SHOTS OF
 G. 0. P. CONVENTIONS
FIFTEENTH CONVENTION.
by G. M. Adams servie.

The fifteenth annual republican con- vention was the most turbulent. the most spectacular, and the most tragic of any were tightly drawn from coast to coast between adherents of President Taft, seeking a re-nomination, and adherents of Theodore Roosevelt, seeking to pre- vent this outcome. The battle for dele gates ragged violently in almost every state. As 8 result, out of 1,07s seats in the convention, 254 were under con test when the time came to make the temporary convention roll.
 The national committee assembled in Chicago. June s, 1912, and heard these contests until June 15. The bitterness ated by the presence of Roosevelt him self in Chicago-ciearly prophesied the ultimate breach which occurred a week later. And when the national committee assigned 235 of the 254 contested seats to Taft delegates, and only 19 to Roose- welt, the probability of breach became a certainty.
 The convention itself gathered in the Chicago Coliseum on Tuesday, June 1e 1s12-the 97th anniversary of the bat tie of Waterloo! The initial skirmish
 
 tical gladiators came at once. The na. i, tional committee offered Elihu Root ot New York as temporary chairman. The Roosevelt forces nominated Governor Francis E. McGovern of Wisconsin. After spectacular 5-hour battle, Root won by e vote of 55S to 502, and five days later | was made permanent chairman of the ] convention.
 The next day, an attempt by the Roosevelt forces to put upon the tenn porary roll the names of delegates re l jected by the national committee wai l beaten by a vote of 5e4 to 510. By this l time, the impossibility of pacific unior l between the two contending forces wal so obvious that there was much talk oi 1 effort to agree upon a dark horse," anC 1 the names Of Governor Hughes of New l York and Governor Hadley of Missour were freely discussed. But the conven 1 ton was destined to go to it's bitter con 1 clusion along the lines originally drawn l Two days were now consumed by tn, committee on credentials listening to ar guments all over again in connection with the 254 contested seats-with tn, l same net result previously recorded. Bu , this time the talk of a Roosevelt bol was open and generally threatened. Il the early morning hours of June 20 Roosevelt himself told his delegates not to submit to a majority having nt l title in law or morals" The Taft force and the national committee, however, in sisted from first to last that they ver strictly within their rights and equities l All of the preliminary skirmish inI l was finally done on Saturday morning June 22, 1912.

WHEN HER SON MARRIED

Don't talk to me about brides and mothers-in-iaw." began the good looking nlatron with the snapping eyes T would prefer to converse about mothers in-law and brides, because I have a lot more information on that subject.

The Food Controller proposes to isGue every month report showing the chang es in the price of food and the main conditions regulating it.
