CHAUNCEY DEPEW, 81
YEARS YOUNG, CENTER
OF 6. P. INTEREST

CHICAGO. June 10.-If any one be-
Ieves that Chauncey Depew, 81 years
old, has lost any of his pulling power
as favorite with Republicans, or tha
his mind has lost its cunning, let yes
terdays scene at the coliseum dis
suade them at once
What is the desire of the conven-
tom" asked the chairman
"Depew" cried a woman's voice in
the gallery
"Depew-Depew!" 1t was taken up
end magnified until the chairman had
to rap for order He then introduced
former Senator Chauncey Depew, the
81 year old Nestor of the party, who
attended the second nomination of
Abraham Lincoln
Mr. Depew walked out to the speak
ers' platform to an accompaniment of
applause and cheers
Senator Lodge says I'm an old man,
but he's mistaken" said Mr. Depew
"a man down south who heard me
speak recently wrote me a letter and
said he heard I claimed to be, only Sc.

ident Taft going abroad with some of
the biggest brains of the country and
bringing back Cuba, the Philippines
and a few other things, while Presi-
dent Wilson went to Europe and
brought back the league of nations
Howl after howl of laughter followed
a rapierlike humorous Indictment of
President Wilson.
Mr.. Depew said the country needed
experienced craftsmanship to deal
with the problems growing out of the
war, declaring the Republican party
had handled 1t with ability" after
the civil war, and had proved its
ability to do so.
The speaker took suggestive filings
at President Wilson's trip to Europe,
to the great amusement Of the dele
gates. Other presidents, he said, had
dealt with foreign nations, selecting
the best brains and men in the country
to go and do it.
He Wanted League Of Nations.
when Mr.. Wilson went to Europe
and the politicians and diplomats said
to him. What do you want? he re
piled, I want a league of nations, a
heaven on earth, of which shall be
the recording angel.
The convention got good laugh out
of the gibe.
Then, in a serious vein, Mr. Depew
speaking as a veteran OF 10 years on
the Republican platform. prophesied
that out of the convention would come
wisdom and enthusiasm and that the
nation standing for the principles OF
Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt
would take it's place as leader OF
peace and unity and civilization OF
mankind"

CHICAGO, June 10.-There are
many different kinds of delegates
hanging around the Coliseum these
days, but D. J. Cooper of Oregon is the
only one with a chaperon. D. J. Cooper
is 81 years old and the family back
in The Dalles, Oregon, raised the dick
ems when he allowed he was going to
take in the convention as a delegate,
where medals and pin feathers step
around a bit.
In fact, the Cooper family put its
foot right down on the idea and told
D. ]. he couldn't go, that If he did
he'd get run over or sunstruck or
something. So D. J. took himself a
chaperon and eloped.
The chaperon. James Zurcher, pilot

steered D. J. around the loop and let

D. J. to stay in his room at the hotel.
