c. 0. P. IS SPLIT IN
THREE FACTIONS
Climax Will Be Reached on
Floor OF Chicago
Convention.
lcontInu.a trom FIrst Psgs.l


Iican delegates will be selected.
thirty-five in Massachusetts,. twenty
eight in New Jersey, and forty-eight
in Ohio.
Senator William T.. Borah OF Idaho,
who has been stumpng New Jersey
for Senator Hiram Johnson, returned
to Washington yesterday. He said the
situation there is much the same az II
was in Michigan. The machine, he
declared, is against Johnson. but the
people are for him. Senator Kenyon
believed the result would be close.
Ohio is expected to show signifi-
cant results. The main contest is
between Warren q. Harding, now
United States Senator from that state
and it's former governor, and Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood. who has dared
carry the fight against the "favorite
SON into his own yard. Senator
Penrose, one OF the big chiefs" OF
the party, has allowed il TO go out
that he "favors a man OF the Hard
ing type" but the fact that Colonel
Proctor. General Woods main back
er, is a Cincinnati man. is expected 10
counterbalance the "favorlte SON ad-
vantage to some extent.
Ohio Poll Fayors Harding.
4 poll taken by the international
News Service in Ohio, which included
all the editors of daily newspapers
of that State without regard to their
particular politics, brought out forty
one Republican ballots and thirty
eight Democratic ones. Harding was
first choice of thirty-hve OF the
forty-one editors, and second choice
OF three; General Wood was second.
being the second choice of twenty
six editors and first choice of four.
Gov. Frank Lowden, of Illinois, ran
third with seven second choice votes
and twelve third. a total of nineteen,
while Senator johnson came fourth,
obtaining six votes for third choice.
Among the Democrats there was
considerably more cohesion. Gov
ernor Cox of a total OF thirty-eight
votes. obtained thirty-six, all as first
choice candidate for the nomination
at San Francisco, Governor Edwards.
of New Jersey, and Herbert Hoover
each obtaining one Of the other two
first choice votes.
Second to Cox, however came Will
liam G.. McAdoo, with eleven votes, as
second-choice candidate.
But the main interest, not only in
the Ohio, New Jersey and Massachu-
setts primaries. but In all the remain
ing contests. lies in the trend towards
factions, Republican and Democratic.
Both parties are destined to suffer
open rebellion, or something closely
approaching the same, unless the
fast multiplying signs fail. For. while
the Penrose, Johnson and Hoover
crowds are hammering each other for
all they are worth inside the camp of
the G. o. p. the Wilson. Bryan, and
Edwards factions, within the Demo
cratic party will be out after one an
others scalps. ..

MYSTIC SHRINE SHOW
WITNESSED BY LARGE
CROWD IN COLISEUM

A packed house saw Murat and
Mispah Shriners from Indianapolis and
Fl. Wayne, respectively, stage the
spectacular lodge performance, "A
Night in Fem Fem" Friday evening at
the Coliseum as the final celebration of
one of Richmond's greatest lodge days.
The show opened in true circus style
with an introduction of all the perform
ers in a parade about the stage. The
front half of the lower floor had been
set aside as a stage to give plenty OF
room for the drill maneuvers.
A large purple velvet drop and a
raised divan lighted with soft tinted
lamps in Shrine colors formed throne
from which officers of Murat and Mis-
pah temples watched the performance
in state.
Sailors Give Concerts.
The Naval Recruiting band gave a
splendid concert preceding the Shrine
performance. Following the concert
one of the sailors gave a recruiting
talk.
The Shrine Heralder blew lusty
blast on his bugle promptly at eigh,
p. M, and Mispah's Oriental band en-
tered the arena. A second call from
the heralder and the dervishes from
Murat entered playing Peggy. Theil
white capes formed splendid contrast
=. to the bright-colored costumes of the
other Shriners.
Hejaz Rahouis next entered the
stage. followed by the Murat Chanters
Nurat Bugle corps, and Gun Squad
and Murat Patrol
With slow half-time music, Poten
tates Gay, of Murat Temple, and Pc
tentate Gumpper, of Mispah temple
followed by their divans, took theil
places on the raised platform. She'll

Rupe Welcomes Shriners.
With the entire Shrine assemblage
seated cross legged on the floor Sheik
Duffin presented Noble John l.. Rupe,
who made the formal address of well
come from Fem Fem to the visiting
lodgemen.
Potentate Gay, of Murat, responded
to the address of welcome for his
temple and called attention in a few
brief words to the purpose of the
Shrine organization, thanked the local
Fem Gems and called attention to the
Amsricanism of Shriners.
Potentate Gumper. of Mispah. also
responded to the welcome and extend
| ed the best wishes of FIT. Wayne
| mobiles to the men Of Fem Fem.
Camel Makes Hit.
A wandering Arab next stole in fol-
lowed by his great dromedary. The
great camel was supported by the
sturdy legs of two Shriners and the
stuffed beast was heartily applauded
The Arab made an explosive talk OF
jabberings which was interpreted by
Rabban Meegs, of Mispah Temple.
| SudiltoTS II6l sang a mar

several encores.

and was also called back for encores

cate lodge drill that brought hearty
hand-clapping from the audience as the
hoys from Fit Wayne completed theil
difficult drill without hitch.

vailed other organizations for pep and
skill in drilling.
Dancer Fools EN-.
Hejaz Rahouis and Pearl Allen of
Murat Temple gave queer, quaint
oriental dance that caused many men
in the audience to crane their necks,
and then look sheepish when the
dancers pulled off their wigs and
showed carefully parted masculine
hair.
Frank Holland, popular local singer,
was a decided hit with his singing of,
