Brisbane's Ringside Story
OF Today's Session of
Republican Convention

Bishop Thomas Nicholson, head OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Chicago. He prays for spiritual
wealth and strength.
mot material wealth alone, not
merely power by land and sea-" he
prays for the mothers and against
war. 1t is a good prayer, full of ex-
cellent advice. No better prayer
made at this convention.
Mr.. Bryan says, THAT is a noble
petition by a great man. But there
is one request in his prayer that If
granted would disrupt this conven-
tion," what is that, you ask. at is, y
says Bryan, Lord help US to see
things as they are
II the convention could see things
as they are, they would tear up their
platform and get down to the busi-
ness of saving this country from
evils due to the domination OF
politics by big business.
Roll Call Begun Again.
Quarter of eleven and the roll call
begins again. You will learn what,
if anything, happened over night
Nothing happened to California any
how. She casts her twenty-siX votes
for Johnson.
Harding gains four in Indiana, and
he gains four more in Kansas, TAX
ing them from Wood. Look out for
Harding as the dark horse.
The delegates like him, business
likes him, and the general public
outside of Ohio, where he is very
strong, does not know him.
Mississippi contributes little
mirth. Three times without success
that learned delegation tries to ado
up twelve, but fails. Each time the
vote as reads makes thirteen, and
the State has only twelve votes. Or
the fourth attempt they get it right
so that it adds up twelve.
Predicted n. Y. Swing.
You must remember, however
that there are fractions in the sum
one and half each for Harding anG
Lowden. Fractions are not easy.
Now New York was expected to
change over night. Lowden gets az
votes from New York. Yesterday
he got only 80, a gain of 10. Low.
den's friends are wild with Joy. In
North Carolina Lowden gains two
1t was said last midnight, and your
correspondent reported it, that New
York would swing to Lowden today
A gain of ten on the first ballot is
good deal of a swing, but not
enough to mean very much. Bryan
who watches delegates as old Jor-
rocks used to watch hounds, says
"Now it is getting interesting"
There is resemblance between
fox hunting and delegate hunting.
When one trusty hound gets the
right scent and gives full tongue,
the rest of the pack join in without
asking any questions.

HARDING SPONSOR
Republican Success ''Impera-
tive" Declares Willis, Nomi-
mating Ohio Senator.

CHICAGO, June 12.-Frank b. Wills,
nominating United States Senator
Warren G. Harding for President,
said, in part:
Republican success is always de-
sirable-in 1920 IL is imperative.
Called into being by Abraham Lin
coin to save the Union. the Repub-
lican party merited it's long years OF
triumph through it's valiant service
to the Republic and it's promotion OF
the peoples progress. 1t battled for
national prosperity and sound finance
under the leadership of Ohio's knight,
liest son, William Mckinley: 1T raised
the victorious standard Of the square
deal and obedience to the law at the
call of that stalwart, red-blooded
American, Theodore Roosevelt. But
vast as are it's achievements ana
brilliant as has been its leadership.
the man nominated here today must
be Of a type big enough to enable
him to look with level gaze to the
leadership of other years. and to face
undaunted problems more serious
than those which confronted Wash
ington or Lincoln. We have emerged
from a world war victorious and un-
afraid.
Republic In Peril.
"In the fevered atmosphere that
settled about the world, war worn
and weary, pestiliential vapors have
sprung up periling the peace of the
world and the perpetuity of our own
republic.
"Bolshevism and anarchy stalk
fiery-eyed and militant across the
planet and even dare to shake their
| bristly hair in our own country. un-
dismayed by an administration that
! furnishes by its own autocratic un-
constitutional acts the very soil in
which l. w. W'ism flourishes and
which Eliminates against radicalism

pointments in others. Instead OF or
derly liberty regulated by law, un-
der Democratic misrule this Govern
| ment has become an oligarchy in
! which the few rule the many by in
timidation: Government by threat
must cease.
| "Defend Every American Ideal"

bled, with the heoric dead looking

Profound Silence As
Penrose Gets News

PHILADELPHIA, June H.
Senator Penrose surrounded him
self by a deep silence after he
heard the result Of the fourth bal
lot last night.
The silence penetrated to the
farthest recesses of the house and
oozed out to the front steps,
choking his secretaries into abso-
Lutte tacturnity.
The silence was broken only
once, when the Senator was heard
commenting forcibly on some as
pect OF the situation.
The interjection was loud and
long. and those who heard II
swore that the senior Senator
from Pennsylvania had returned
to normal health.

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO,
June 12.-Quarter past ten. The
Swanee River, by the band, is fin
ished. Star-Spangled Banner now
awakening the usual patriotic en-
thusiasm and the usual effort to
sing it.
A man who knows we'll man
intimately acquainted with Johnson
says this:
Hiram Johnson has promised that
he will end the deadlock today. He
will come here, take the platform,
and say, 4 am out of the race as a
candidate. will throw my strength
to and Loyalty support any candidate
that I believe the public will accept.
l will not support Wood or Lowden.
Yours truly. -
That is not Johnson's usual style
of oratory, but we shall see.
Such a speech from him would
undoubtedly end the deadlock, and
undoubtedly johnson could name
almost any one he chose, within re>-
son.
If johnson should be out Of it, by
his own act, or otherwise, the best
chance would undoubtedly lie, now,
with Harding. But johnson is
friendly to Knox Of Pennsylvania.
and might want the nomination to
go in Knox's direction, to Knox him
self or to Sproul, official candidate
of the Penrose- Knox combination.
One of the most conspicuous can
didates coming to the convention
yesterday morning said to this
writer:
"You will see the result as fol-
lows:
The ticket will be Knox and John
son, Johnson in the second place.
Why should Johnson accept second
place? Because Knox is an old man
about seventy and not well man,
several chronic troubles. He will
not live long, and for Johnson to be
Vice President with him would mean
that Johnson would be President be-
fore long"
The most unlikely thing In the
world Is that such a man as Johnson
should take second place, or If there
is anything more unlikely, Is that
he should wait around for a dead
mans shoes.
Late as Usual.
However, the convention is late
as usual, and you must have some
thing to read while the band is play
ing, so you get this gossip for what
it is worth, which is very little.
Dickson, publisher of the Chicago
Examiner, and, as Major McCor-
mick will testify, the ablest pub
Usher in Cook county, or in the

and brief description.
The thought: "You said a good
deal about the women that spoke.
Mention the fact that all the women
made short speeches to the point
and all the men made speeches as
long as the convention would stand.
Women, you know, are supposed to
be the great takers"

OF skill in its effective use for the
welfare OF mankind and there are no
apparent limits to the kinds of knoWl-
edge.

leberally for the study OF social and
Industrial problems and technical re-
search in all branches of science
touching the welfare of the public.

ard pointed out that "official records
show that of a total expenditure Of
more than five-and-a-half billion dol
lars by the United States Govern
ment during the current fiscal year,
90 per cent was disbursed for ex-
penses of recent and previous wars
and the maintenance OF the War and
