Chicago. June 1.--Hearing on the
claim Of contesting delegations to
next weeks convention continued to-
day to ocupy the attention of the re-
publican national committee.
"A decision in the three-cornered
fight in Florida was first on the pro-

The committee does not hope to get

among most of the politicians as pro-

Paris, June Milking blue blood
OF old-word royalty with the red
blood of the common herd makes
a poor matrimonial high ball. ..
History shows that the morganat,c
romances OF kinglets-tolbe often start
we'll, but generally wind up badly.
The little states of Europe have
had this business of morganatic mar
riage Or left-handed weddings for
centuries. It's royal convenience
by which princes may cast off "com.
mon brides quite "honorably."
RoyaIty's Last Stand
European rOyalty-Whats left OF it
is clinging to it's social prejudices
these days in spite of all talk about
democracy.
What will young King Alexander
OF Greece do?
He married Mile :Manos, daughter
OF creek colonel who used to keep
the royal stables. He was in love
with her when he was small boy
and she a little girl. They married
after Constantine fled and abdcated.
Then Alexander become king and now
he's trying to have his parliament
make his wife the queen of Greece
Ii parliament refuses-then what:
There are rumors already that Alex
ander will be forced out and that his
younger brother, Prince Andrew, will
succeed him.
Prince Carol of Rumania clung to
his liUii.royal vie u Tong time. Bur
his family and others made things
so hot for him around the palace that
in sheer desperation he finally re-
nounced her. Now he's Ringing"
and she's back home with her child.
Alexander may consider the ex-
ample of Adolph Friedrich, grand
duke of Me dcklenburg. g.Streltz. The
grand duke was second son. Nobody
cared when he married, for there
seemedSlittle chance he'd ever be a
ruler. But his brother was killed by
an automobile, and at once cOurtiers
insisted Friedrich divorce his wife
and marry princess. Friedrich,
refused and was finally driven to mad
ness and suicide by royal pressure.
True Love Under Ban
The Russian and Austrian royals
were expert morganatic "marriers.
Some Of them were married as often
as seven and eight times, but they
generally were willing to shake off the
yoke. Only when prince really falls
in love with a commoner and wants
to stick to her alone does royalty
start trouble.
King Alexander tried taking his
bride to court, but the courtiers were
so cold and treated her so snobbishly
that she came to Paris.
