Chicago, June 5,--As if the Repub-
lican party did not have troubles
enough, the militant suffragists have
come from Washington to picket the
convention. as they used to picket the
White House and afterward the Sen
ate.
Right across the street from the
Coliseum where the Republicans hoped
to assemble In peace and select their
candidate for President Miss Alice
their headquarters. whence they will
issue with their banners holding the
Republicans up 70 scorn for betrayiug
the cause Of women because the Re
publican states OF Delaware, Connec-
ticut and Vermont have failed among
them to furnish the last necessary vote
for the ratification Of tho equal suffrage
amendment. Over this headquarters
hangs a theatrical sign which reads /:

The Republican party's sweethcarts

to wreck what is left of the party 5

Jail and 60 on hunger strikes for be-
sieging the Republican party with ban
ncrs they will be suprcmely happy.
Picture Puzzle With Extra Parts
One Of the Republican delegates here
said the situation was like a picture
puzzle.
They have all the parts but they
cont know iow to fit them together
and they not only have all the parts,
but they have few extra parts that
belong to another picture and they are
nevertheless madly trying to put them
all into one picture. Borah and John
son as we'll as Lodge and Smoot. with
reconcilablcs as well as irreconcilablcs,
with, conservatives as well as radicals.
II they are all joined together into one
single scheme 1t will be post i'm =

finished.
Chicago Is like Paris. the Rcpubli
can National Convention is like the
Peace Conference with the big three
left out. There is no big three at Chi
CGgo. Not even a big one, nothing big.
The problem Is to give Johnson Fiume
without robbing Lodge of his only sea
port. No Chicago peace conference is
trying to create peace that will last
until next November.
Peace Farley All Over Again
And the convention Is like the Paris
Peace Conference in the convincing cvi-
dences It furnishes of human incapac-
ity. Everybody blundered Mt Paris
No one was big enough to make a reu
peace. Everybody has blundered in get

Wood blundered. He would have
been nominated by now if he had mo-
sought the presidency. He blundereC

said Senator johnson. "llc is an ar

Does any one here believe that he will

Senator Harding?'
Defends Preferential Primaries
Il see where have been invited to

Senator Johnson said to the newspaper
men. This is not the first time, and
1t is peculiar that the men who make
these invitations apparently think that
l am unfit for the presidency. We are
going right along with our fight for the
presidency"
Referring to a statement credited to
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler today that
the presidential primaries were fail
urc, Senator johnson said: 'Where
would | be in this race il it were not
for the primary? ] am heartily in favor
of the primary. Is it right to say the
people arc fit to choose President but
are not fit to choose n nominee! Some =
time later, however. intend to offer
several recommendations relative to
conducting primaries.

Senator Watson. a candidate for thu

authoritatively that he had a tentative

and others. which had received ap'
proval OF many interested leaders.
Senator Johnson. who is making hi
principal platform fight on the leagu
question. said today that he believed
there would be plank which will b.
satisfactory. But he declined to 50.
whether he had yet approved the Wat

MIR. johnson also stated he would s.
upon the convention floor If n fight OF
the. platform should be deemed neccs

candidacy. Asked whether he woulC
accept the nomination if the platform
should indorse the Lodge reservations
Senator Johnson said he would eros

VOTING IN NORTH CAROLINA

Mora, Support

RaIeish, n. C., June 5.--(By 4. p
Republicans of North Carolina at a
primary today will express their pref.
erence between Senator johnson and
General Wood for the presidential NOM
ination. the only two candidates who
filed notices in this state. However, as
the nomination probably will be made
before the state board of elections can
vases the returns, the vote will have
only a normal effect on the delegation to
the Chicago convention.
The Democrats also are holding n pri.
mary today in which they will nominate
candidates for senator, members of the
House and state Offices, including gov
ernor.
For presidential preference only the
name OF Senator +. NJ. Simmons. as a
favorite son delegate, is on the ticket.
and his name already has been certified
by the state board Of elections, which
assures the support for him Of the
states twenty four delegates.
