WOOD FIRST TO BE
PUT IN NOMINATION
(By United Pr-ss)

Coliseum, Chicago, June 1.-THE
first nomination offered to the Re.
publican national convention was that
of Gen. Leonard Wood, Gov. Henry
S. Allen of Kansas delivering the
nominating speech.
Governor Allen opened the verbal
fight before packed coliseum. He
! presented the case of General Wood
like vigorous debater engaged with
an invisible adversary. Enthusiasm
marked every gesture, the speaker
frequently cutting into the applause
in his eagerness to tell the delegates
why the general should be the nations
president.
At the first mention by the speak
er of Woods name it was passed un-
noticed by the assemblage, but a min
ute later he repeated it twice and
there was some applause. The ap-
plause grew louder when Roosevelt's
tribute to Wood was read, the cheer
ing continuing until Allen motioned
for silence. The Kansas delegates
were listening intently.
Cries of Wood" "Wood!" passed
unheeded by Allen until he had con-
cluded his speech. AS his last words
were spoken mighty yell shook the
coliseum, and showers of many-col-
ored feathers fluttered down over the
assemblage in veritable storm.
Then the carefully staged demon
stration broke loose Chairman Lodge
soon gave up efforts to restore order
Although the delegations of Michigan,
Iowa, New York, Massachusetts, Hi
nois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and most of
those of New Jersey remained in
their seats, the Arizona. New Mexico
Tennessee, New England states, Kan
sas and Nebraska delegates stood on
their chairs and were doing much
cheering. A procession was then
started through the aisles of the coli
scum, chanting the name of Wood.
The demonstration was finally end
ed and order was restored after it had
continued for 80 minutes. Delegate
Knox of New Hampshire then rose to
second the nomination of General
Wood and was followed by Mrs. Cor
inne Roosevelt Robinson of New York,
sister of the elder Theodore Roose-
welt, the first woman ever to address
political convention in this capacity.

BIG DEMONSTRATION IS
STAGED FOR LOWDEN
(By United Press)

! Coliseum, Chicago, June 11.-Fol-
lowing the nominating speeches for
Leonard Wood, Chairman Lodge or
dered the secretary to resume the roll
call of the states. Arkansas was call
ed and H. l.. Remmell, head of the
delegation arose and said "Arkansas
yields to Illinois,"
Congressman William A. Roden-
berg of East St. Louis came to the
platform to put in nomination Gov
ernor Frank O. Lowden of his state.
Immediately the Arkansas delegation
began to display huge photos of the
Illinois governor.
Rodenberg spoke under difficulties
and amid much confusion, but order
was finally restored. The congress-
man was intensely fervent, at one
time raising his clenched fists and
saying 81 pray that God may speed
the day when a better and braver
pilot is placed at the nations helm"
Careful attention was given Roden-
berg during the remainder of his ad-
dress, but there was but little response
Immediately after it's close. Then the
delegates section was suddenly filled
with large posters bearing Lowden's
picture, and the adherents of the Hi
nois governor began to crowd into
masses to arrange the demonstration.
The Iowa delegates had the biggest
lithograph, an enormous picture which
swung between two long poles. The
Kentucky delegation swung into the
line and many women began to ap-
pear in the procession. Cheers were
mingled with whistling, though the
din was not excessive. The state signs
of Iowa and Oklahoma appeared in
the procession, Arkansas and Vir-
ginia then joined the march.
Lowden delegates were busy in their
efforts at recruiting, yelling First
ballotw First ballot" After 10 min
utes the noise slightly diminished.
Congressman Slemp of Virginia and
National Committeeman Warren of
Michigan both shouted that Lowden
would be nominated before the day
ended, and the demonstration broke
out anew. After it had lasted for AZ
minutes, three minutes longer than
the one staged for Wood, the Lowden

MILK SUPPLY IS
UP At MEETING
Mayor Skinner Calls Producers
and Dealers Into Session ut
City Hall Yesterday.

One hundred persons interested
in the production and sale Of dairy
products gathered at city hall yes
terday afternoon to consider a bet
ter and purer milk supply for the
people of Moline. Mayor C. p.
Skinner had called the meeting to
warn milk producers and distrib-
utors that the quality must be i'm
poyed and to discuss ways Of OBJ
tanning that improvement.
Representatives of every class
criticized the city officials
for making public the tests which
showed many dealers and restau-
rant men are selling milk that is
dirty and low in butterfat. The
meeting lasted the greater part OF
the afternoon.
Mayor Skinner, who presided,
appealed to the civic and business
pride Of those present, declaring il
is for the best interests Of every
one that pure milk supply be
furnished in Moline. He insisted
that tests will continue to be made
and that prosecutions of law vio-
lators will follow unsatisfactory
analyses.
Mayor Skinner stated that a
new milk ordinance, which may re-
quire pasteurization Of milk or tu-
berculin tests for cows, is now I'M
der preparation. Grading Of milk
and various prices for various
grades are also under considera-
ton.
A. E. Anderson, city chemist
and Levin Lindblad, health inspec-
tor, were other officials who spoke
Mr.. Lindblad reading city ordi-
nances on milk and Mr.. Anderson
explaining the tests made in the
city laboratory.

GLEE CLUB OPERA
SCORES BIG WITH
A GOOD AUDIENCE

An appreciative audience, some
what smaller than was expected,
heard the first rendition Of the
Gypsy Rover" by the girls and
boys glee club Of the Aledo high
school, at the city hall auditorium
last night. Owing to the condi-
ton of the country roads, the
number present was smaller than
would otherwise have been the
case.
After several weeks of prepare
ton for the presentation Of the
operetta it showed an intensive
study and good voice cultivation.
Aledo's school can well be proud
Of it's singers, both the boys and
girls. It is thought that tonight's
entertainment will play to a ca
pacity house and the students will
be we'll rewarded for their efforts.
