MANY BALLOTS FOR CHOICE
OPINION At CONVENTION
lsnecinl nx limited Press,

Chicago, June 4th.-lt was the
field against Johnson in the Repub-
lican pre- convention race today. In
the Wood and Lowden headquarters
there was n distinct tendency to be-
gin counter attack on Johnson.
Ont of the confusion it seems GER
tain that nomination will come only
after record breaking number Of
ballots are taken. In the past many
republican nominees have been
named ON first ballot.
The National committee unanim-
ously seated four regular delegates
at large from South Carolina. They
favor Lowden and the contest was
brought by Wood delegates. Realign-
ments over night failed to affect the
standing on first ballot, with Wood
leading, and johnson and Lowden
close for second.

TO RAILROAD BROTHERHOOD

Washington, June s. In a letter
to the Railroad Brotherhood Presi-
dent Wilson denounces the present
congress for failing to remedy the
high cost of living. He says con-
gres. has not only prevented con-
elusive peace in Europe, but failed
to present any constructive plan for
dealing with the deplorable condi-
tions here, continuance of which can
only reflect upon us.
The Presidents charges were in
answer to the brotherhood's letter
protesting the adjournment of con
gress without dealing with the high

SENATOR BORAH SAYS
HUGHES ACCEPTABLE
Especial by United Press)

Chicago, June Senator Borah
stated that Charles +. Hughes would
be acceptable to him as second
choice, provided that Hughes would
agree to the kind OF platform that
Borah wants.
Borah explained that this in no
way means the abandonment of Hi
ram johnson, and would hold true
only in the event that Johnson would
be unable to secure his nomination.
After comforting with Johnson,
Borah announced that both he and
johnson were standing pat on the
platform plank condemning Presi-
dent Wilson'S League of Nations in
any form.
They protest the party's going on
record in favor of ratification of the
League covenant, even with reserva-
tions.

PREDICT DARK HORSE
ON EVE OF CONVENTION
Especial by United Press,

nounced feeling that dark horse

of the deadlock which is likely to
occur when the convention opens.
The dark horse boom seems to be
tending strongly toward Charles Il.
Hughes.
Incoming delegates. are reporting
a strong Hughes sentiment develop
ing throughout the country.
Hughes headquarters have been
opened here. Some delegates claim
that move is on foot to stampede
the convention for Governor Allen
of Kansas. Others had the infor-
nation that General Pershing's name
would be sprung If a deadlock oc-
cured.
Hoover's hackers are lining up
votes for their candidate for Sec
ond choice. In the meantime the
big three, Wood. johnson and Low
den are conducting last minute pow
vows. Senator johnson will ad-
dress mass meeting tonight in
final rally.
The compromise treaty plank is
being considered by reservationists
and bitter enders, with prospect
Of complete harmony thereon. The
plank is in no way approving of the
Wilson League of Nations and mere
ly states that the republican party
adheres TO the policies of Wash
ington and Monroe on international
questions, which would satisfy
johnson and Borah.
The Oregon delegation is deter
mined to present Senator Lodges

date. One Oregon delegate has an
nounced his determination to sup
port Wood, Notwithstanding his

We are met here to take the first,
the most decisive step in the politcf,
campaign which is to determine the
party control of this great Govern
ment for the next four years. II IS
solemn moment, taught with vast
possibilities of either good or evil.
Well worth our while it is Just here
upon this bank and shoal Of ime,'
to pause for nn instant while We
glance swiftly upon the scene in
which we are to fight our battle.
Behind us lies the greatest war of
history, now FOR the most part fall
len silent, together with all the hid
eous advances of science in methods
of taking human life, which battened
upon it, halted and quiescent, The
tempest has subsidized hut the ocean
still heayes and rolls with cresting
waves. while the dead sens of the
storm, which has passed. crash sui
lenly against the shores that shelter
and sustain the vast fabric which
we are wont to call our civilization.
We find ourselves gazing upon the
problems and trials which the huge
convulsion has left to us and with
which we must cope and cope sue
cessfully il We are to rebuild and
again move onward The ruined
towns. the broken industries, the
desolated farms are there before our
eyes wherever the battles were
fought. Countless little mounds mark
the resting places OF The dead in the
fields and on the hillsides torn and
gashcd by shot and shell. Signals
Of mourning throughout the world
tell us OF the irrerarnhle losses of
all nations. which have swept away
such IN appalling portion of the
youth Of every land, those in whom
were garnered up the hopes and
strength of the future. The splendor
of the achievement of our soldiers
and sailors. their dnuntless courage
and unshrinking service will always
remnin one of the proudest memoir
les in the history of the Republic.
But the dead return not and the
shadow of the great sorrow for
those forever gone will never be lift
ed from the hearts of the people who
sent them forth TO battle. The ma
terial side of war results, is like the
spiritual. even with NJ. We feel in
daily life the grinding pressure Of
vast debts aud henpcd mp taxes
which have been piled upon our
shoulders aud upon those of our
posterity. Great empires have been
