new YORK IS THE
WORLDSLARGEST CITY
Population Totals 5,621, ISL,
An lncraese OF s54,26s
In Ten Years

Washington, June 5.-New York
City had a population of 5,621,151 on
January 2, an increase of S54.26S. or
17.9 per cent over 1910, the Census
Bureau announced tonight The rate
OF growth was smaller than ever be-
fore in the city's history, except I'm
the decade ending in 1870, while the
increase numerically was smaller
than in either of the two decades
preceding 1910.
The latest estimate of the popuIa-
ton of the city and county of London.
made in 1917, was 4,026,9O1, a de-
crease from the official census of
1911, which showed a population of
4,521,6S5. Comparison of the popu-
lation of New York City with that of
London is declared by Census Blu
reau officials to be difficult because
OF the areas covered. by the various
designations of the two cities. New
York City proper covers 2s7 square
miles, while for census purposes the
city and county of London cover 116
square miles.
The small increase in the growth
of the city of New York during the
past decade is attributed by census
officials to the almost complete stop
page during the war of the influx of
immigrants, many of whom each year
made New York their home, and to
the heavy emigration of foreign-born
residents during the war and since
that time.
The boro OF Manhattan, which
formerly was New York City proper,
with population of 2,2S3,1O3, show
ed decrease for the first time in it's
history, the actual falling off in popu-
lation being 47,4S9, or 2 per cent of
the total population in 1910. The boz
ros of the Bronx and Queens. which,
since 1910, have been brought closer
to the city by more rapid means of
transit, showed the largest gains in
their history.

LODGE BRINGS OUT
ISSUES OF CAMPAIGN
Keynote Speech Arraigns
Democrats For Failure
To Bring Peace

In opening the National Republi-
can Convention at Chicago Tuesday,
Senator Lodge, the temporary chair
man, delivered a mastery address,
an address that barred the issues on
which the approaching campaign will
be conducted.
Two features of Chairman Lodges
address are unanswerable indict-
ments of the Wilson administration,
and when fixed in the minds of the
voters, as they will be fixed before
the campaign closes, will disclose a
condition unpalleled in American poll
itical history
ut was the plain duty of the
American government Said Mr.
Lodge, ''to conclude a treaty of peace
with Germany Immediately following
the close of the war, and leave the
establishment of world courts or
peace leagues to the judgment of cool
,er times and sober seasons" This
position is unanswerable and unas-
sailable. The people wanted peace
There was no division of sentiment
about the feature. The opinion of
the people on the League of Nations
was unknown. and to tie up the ques-
ton of peace with the experimental
League OF Nations was a crime
against the peoples on both sides of
the ocean.
President Wilson was personally
responsible for the incorporation of
the League of Nations with the peace
treaty. and the consequent delay in
establishing peace with the nations
with which we were recently at war,
Mr.. Lodge emphasized. He declared
the acceptance of the treaty with the
league parasite would place this coun-
try in endless complications with Eu-
ropean politics, making possible the
sending of our soldiers to the ends
of the earth on the orders of alien
governments. He reviewed the ac-
ton of the senate on the peace trea-
ty and said, 1--WE have made the con-
dition and it is now your duty to pass
on the record we have made"
The other striking declaration
Chairman Lodge made before the
convention was, This country must
turn from government by an indi-
vidual or a group of individuals to
government by representatives Of the
people," He declared President Will
son during his eight years in the
presidency had substituted his own
will for the rule of the peoples re-
representatives. in the direction of the
affairs of government, condition
never before confronted by the AM
erican psople.
Thess two declaration. by the
chairman Of the national convention
were sath ralpable trdthI tina. they
requirAl 10 argument for popular
conviction, and will form the basis
of the appeal of the Republican par
ty throughout the campaign % be
waged this year.

Acton Bros. received a car load of
tractors last week and before the
tractors could be unloaded there was
a buyer for every one of them. This

KENTUCKY DELEGATES

National Committeeman Is
Again Honored By
Colleagues
By Robert D. Anderson.

Chicago, June S.-The notable
successes achieved by the Republican
party in Kentucky are attributable in
large measure to the capable leader
ship of National Committeeman AL
win T. Hert, of Louisville, in the opin-
ion Of members of the Kentucky dele
cation, who reelected him unani-
mously at their organization caucus
today. The meeting was marked by
expressions of commentator for Mr..
Hert by delegates who have been
deeply impressed since their arrival
in Chicago by numerous evidences of
the high value placed upon the coun-
sells of the Kentucky national COM
mitteeman by leaders from every sec
ton Mr.. Hert, himself, was unable
to attend the caucus, being engaged In

in the election of the following Ken

Unit Rule Plan Rejected.
The ACCESSIBILITY of adopting unit
rule to govern the voting of the dele
cation was suggested by Mr.. Calvin,
but an exchange of views revealed the
fact that such action would be SUI
perflueus. The delegates, apparent
ly, are harmonious in their views as
to the platform and the most desira-
BILE nominee.
All of the twenty-six delegates at

IS NOW IN SESSION
Program For The Day Is Up
Set, Due To Wrangle
Over League.

Chicago, June 0-The Republican
National Convention demonstrated at
! its opening two hour session yester-
day, that II It lacked leadership. it
did not lack harmony, for the pre-
liminaries, at least.
Most of the session was taken up
, with the keynote speech Of senator
Lodge, the temporary chairman.
Senator Lodge. temporary chair
man of the Republican National Con-
venuon. was selected by the commit
tee on permanent organization as per-
manent chairman, and his name will
be presented tomorrow to the con-
vention for approval.
There we're three nominations for
tkr place and Senator Lodge was
named on the first ballot. over form
er Senator Beveridge, of Indiana. and
Senator Mccormick. of Illinois. The
vote was:
Lodge, %; Beveridge, 8; McCor-
mick. T. on motion of the Illinois
members the recommendation was
made unanimous.
The remainder of the temporary or
ganization was recommended for
permanent service, without opposi-
ton.
Senator Lodge was placed in nom
ination by William Barnes. of New
York; Mr.. Beveridge, by Governor
Goodrich, OF Indiana. and Senator Nc
Cormick by Lieutenant Governor
Oglesby, OF Illinois. No speech
making followed the nominations.
From the moment that National
Chairman Hays stepped out on the
speakers platform, and called the
assemblage to order, until adjourn
ment time, the average looker-on
+ might have imagined that II was all
let loose with any wild scream for a
favorite; not a voice was raised in
protest to any set plan for the pre-
liminaries, and all joined in shout
Asng approval at Senator Lodges call
to the party to rise up and sweep the
"wilson dynasty" out of power.
Chicago. June 9.-Republican diff
ferences over the League OF Nations
eliminated today in an open threat
from irreconcilable senators to leave
the party unless II declared fatty
against the League of Nations.
The ultimatum was delivered In
dramatic fashion at conference of
leaders. II put the league suddenly
to the fore of all other questions be-
fore the national convention. not ex-
'cepting even the nomination of a
presidential candidate
Tonight the leaders were only half
heartedly attempting to conceal their
apprehension over the situation.
Most OF them grimly predicted an
agreement. but none appeared too
sure of his ground In a session
which promised to last thru the night
a resolutions subcommittee, headed
by Senator Watson, sought to find a
middle course which would hold the
party together.
