G. 0. P. CONVENTION
OPENS TUESDAY
Senator Lodge, Chairman, Makes Key
note Speech. No Vote Taken
As Yet

Chicago, June 8.--The republican
national convention demonstrated at
It's opening two-hour session today
that 1t lacked leadership; 1t did not
lack harmony for the preliminaries at
least.
Most of the session was taken up
with the keynote speech Of Senator
Lodge, the temporary chairman.
From the moment that National
Chairman Hays stepped out on the
speakers platform and called the as
semblage to order until adjournment
time, the average looker-on might
have imagined that q as all over
but the shouting. Not lung let loose
with any wild scream Tor a favorite;
not a voice was raised In protest to
any set plan for the preliminaries and
ell joined in shouting approval at
Senator Lodges call to the party to
rise and sweep the Wilson dynasty"
out of power.
Convention Is Tame
But as conventions go, 1t was tame.
IL seemed ss IL some OF the factions
felt that the ice was thin.
Half an hour late in starting the
%oonvention jumped quickly to it's
work. First came the national chair
man, who received a roar OF cheers
from the delegates, and then the
Right Rev. Charles e Woodcock. OF
Louisville, KY, whose opening prayer
waited through sound amplifiers.
reached every part Of the hall. The
crowd that had been reverently silent
during the prayer. shufied its feet and
kept up a continuous rattle Of talk
while the secretary. in a droning tone,
read the formal call for the meeting.
A little earlier II had roared with
laughter at the ~acrobatic antics OF a
song leader as he followed Chairman
Hays to the platform 10 lead the sing
ing and cheers.
Harmony Apparent
There was a roar OF approval from
the delegates when Chairman Hays
declared that the republican party had
net in free and open convention TO
accept from the people a mandate
for the government Of the United
States" A second outburst came a
moment later when he shouted there
will be no bolt in this convention"
The appearance of Senator Lodge,
who had been escorted to the stage
from his place on the floor with the
Massachusetts delegation, was the
signal for the first real demonstra
ton OF the day. Crowds in the gal
~leries stood as did the delegates, cheer
Ing and waving flags.
Lodge Gets Cheers
The cheering broke out afresh as
he was introduced by Mr.. Hayes as
Henry Henry Cabot Lodge OF the
United States" Then for an hour
and a half he held the close attention
of the big auditorium. and brought
forth cheering by sharp thrusts at all
the policies of the Wilson admins
t;ation.
1t did not take long after Senator
Lodge finished speaking to wind up
the other work. The usual announce
ments were made and organization
re solution passed.
That was the end OF the first days
work and on motion Of Governor
Eeeckman of Rhode Island, the con-
yention adjourned until IL a. m. to-
morrow.
With the adjournment the various
committees Immediately went to work,
the resolutions committee beginning
consideration of the platform and the
credential committee to review some
of the delegate contests which were
decided last week by the national
committee.
