TRUCK TOUR TUESDAY
Local Dealers viii Cover Thoroly To-
peIxa's Trade Territory.

For the purpose of arousing more
interest in motor truck transportation,
Topeka motor truck dealers will start
Tuesday morning on a tour of To-
peka's trade territory. They will be
out until Friday evening.
No business will be solicited on the
trip. 1t will be an opportunity for
persons living in the trade territory
to see an aggregation of trucks, equal
to the display at any large motor
show, and to see them under working
conditions.
Local dealers will be visited in each
town. Speeches will be made pictur-
ing the economical features of motor
transportation. Good roads enthusi-
asts will accompany the tour and will
make talks.
Transportation is one of the farm
er's most vital problems, according to
H. NJ. Moorhouse. farm economics ex-
pert, who will make the tour. Strikes
and the prevailing shortage of freight
cars have impaired the railroads
chances of getting crops to market in
time to avoid loss to the farmers.
Farmers and merchants are keenly
interested in the trip. The last few
years has seen a rapid increase in the
use of motor vehicles on the farm
The truck has become almost a neces-
sity to the farmer, both for shipping
material into market centers and for
bringing back supplies from town.
Merchants have received much of their
retail supply by truck at various times
and are now making large numbers of
deliveries in the country and to small
er towns thru the medium of the mo-
tor truck.

'BORAH SITS TIGHT
Johnson Forces May Cause Bat

Party Leaders, Apprehensive,
Are Working Overtime Now.
CONTINUE As BITTER ENDERS
Unqualified Condemnation of
Wilson Pact Demanded.
Mild Reservationists May Make
the Most Trouble.
CONTINUE AS BITTER ENDERS

Chicago, June 7.-Republican party
leaders today centered their efforts on
preventing a row over the treaty plank
of the platform on the floor of the
convention.
Senator Lodge. temporary chairman
of the convention; Senator Watson,
leading candidate for chairman of the
resolutions committee which will
write the platform, and Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, took leading parts in the
pacification efforts.
johnson to Stand Pat
Their task is to write a plank which
viii be acceptable both to the bitter
ender" opponents of the League of
Nations, headed by Senators johnson
and Borah, and the mild reservation
group, represented by Senators Hale
Lenroot of Wisconsin.
Borah announced today that he and
Johnson were standing pat for a plat
form plank utterly condemning the
Wilson League of Nations. They dc
not want the party to go on record in
favor of ratification of the league COW
enant even with reservations.
We VIII fight to prevent the party
straddling on this issue" Borah said
Try to Prevent Clash.
The party leaders who are attempt
ing TO prevent a clash in the conven-
ton professed confidence, in spite of
Borah's words, that he and Johnson
would not prove troublesome.
Johnson will stand for any plank
we want to give him." said one of the
party leaders He isn't going to get
the kind of plank he wants, that is
certain. There will have to be
compromise, of course, but prospects
are good that It will be worked out"
The peacemakers said the Hale
Kellogg-Lenroot group threatened to
be more troublesome than the Borak.-
johnson faction. The Hale group has
put its foot down hard on acceptance
of the treaty plank adopted by the
Republicans of Indiana as a model,
on the ground that it goes too far in
repudiating the League of Nations
idea.
Hughes Borah's Second Choice.
Senator Borah, Idaho, stated today
that Charles E. Hughes would be ac-
ceptable to him as a second choice,
provided Hughes would agree to the
kind of a platform Borah wants.
This staten ent. Borah explained. in
no way means abandonment of Hiram
johnson and would hold true only
should the Californian be unable to
get the nomination.
But Only as Last Resort.
Berah's statement followed on the
heels of q trend toward Hughes
among convention delegates Many
supporters of other candidates admit
ted the Hughes talk is growing.
Johnson's chances are better than
ever Borah insisted, and it would be
and accepted by Hughes of Borah's
platform ideas on the treaty and other
questions that he would turn to the
former candidate.

EXPECT PEACEFUL BATTLE
BY LOWELL MELLETT.


(By special arrangement with Collier
Weekly.)
Chicago, June There is some
thing wrong with this convention, or
with its preliminary arrangements.
I've been here ten hours now and not
soul has whispered the inside low
down in my ear. This isn't usual.
And it is not right
Any other convention would be
different. By this time the stuff that
goes in at one ear and out at the
other would have worn a double track
thru both ears. The inside low-down
is what you get from the earlier ar
rivals.
The earlier arrivals get it from the
other earlier arrivals of four years
ago, eight years ago-multiply indefi-
nitely by four-they would have had
it all ready for us comparatively late
corners. In strietest confidence they
would have laid down exactly what
was due to happen at any given stage
of the weeks hearings.
Nothing to Whisper.
All the old timers are here but they
haven't a thing to whisper This goes
for the Washington correspondent and
the political expert from the home
town paper Don't put this down
against the newspaper men, however,
They know what they're doing all
right. The trouble there is nothing
doing.
1t is not right, for this reason: 1t
indicates an apathy that cannot be
called good for the American people.
What this country needs today, to
speak in the senatorial phrase, is a
good fight. Unless this convention
develops enc all the turmoil that is
boiling within the people will find no
useful outlet.
Old Guard Cautious.
Just what is responsible for this
state of things is hard to say. Ma
tional Chairman Will Hays recognized
the need of a first class Irish picnic
within the ranks of the Republican
party months ago and has been bend
ing his energies toward promoting
one. He did it hy working toward a
free and fair convention.
Perhaps the lack of fighting spirit
thus far shown is due to the lack of
a tangible target for attack. The old
guard has furnished that target, but
while the inner loop holes are filled
with delegates ready to fight the old
guard at the drop of a hat, they
haven't found any good reason yet to
consider that the hat has been drop
so has Moses, but neither of them is
absolutely sure with whom he's talk
ing about fighting.
Be Peaceful Battle.
If things don't get better soon it is
going to be the most peaceable battle
ever fought.
Meantime, any man who needs or
desires little national advertising has
a grand opportunity in this convention
city. If he will drop into Chicago with
something worth while writing about.
he will find the reporters, who out
number the delegates two to one,
ready and eager to do him a good
turn.

ayers and lieutenants were making a
last day drive upon delegates today in
the interests of candidates for the Re-
publican presidential nomination.
Altho the balloting was not. expected
to begin before Thursday, state eau
cuses scheduled for today were looked
upon as closing the door to general in
cursions into the various delegations,
thru tactical determination OF how
the states would stand on their first
vote. The real maneuvering will get
under way after the initial test of
strength in the opening ballot, but so
far as first choice is concerned, poll
ticians believed the first apportion-
ment OF delegates will be determined
by tonight.
