YIELD TO KANSAS
Woods Nomination by Allen
Second on Program.
Alabama Yields First to Illinois
for LOWden.

Chicago, June Tt was learned
from an authoritative source this
afternoon that the first name to be
presented to the convention will be
that of Gov. Frank o. Lowden. When
the roll of states is called, alphabet
ically for nominations, it is understood
that the first state will answer:
Alabama has no candidate and
yields to Illinois"
The second name, it is said, will be
that of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. In
presenting his name, Arizona is eX-
pected to yield to Kansas. The other
candidates probably will be presented
in the order of their states, which
would make Senator Johnson's name
third.
Hoover supporters today selected
Judge Nathan Miller. Syracuse. n. Y.
to make the nominating speech for
their candidate. For some time they
had planned to have no formal speech
putting Hoover before the convention.
The Republican national committee
today unanimously denied a petition
by the -Mulvihill faction of Mis-
sissippi to reopen the Mississippi con-
tests.
The committee concluded its pre-
convention work and passed a motion
expressing regret at the departure
from the committee of the members
who viii step out after the present
convention.

Chicago, June THE "oId guard"
was reported from several sources to-
day to have finally decided upon its
program for the Republican national
convention.
This alleged plan was said to con-
template consolidation of all "regu
lar" support upon Gov. Frank o. Low
den for the presidential nomination.
In event a deadlock develops and Low
den cannot be put over, reports had it
Nicholas Murray Butler would be the
"old guards" second choice.
These reports fitted in with the sud-
den appearance of a Butler trend"
and the assertion emanating from the
doctors camp that the final struggle
would be between Lowden and Butler
and that the latter's strength would
not be revealed until after the fifth
ballot
Lowden today emphasized his belief
that domestic issues would have pref
erence in the presidential campaign
over foreign affairs: This comedies
with Buffers previously announced
idea. The governor added. however,
that he would be greatly interested in

and johnson on the convention floor

If Employees Get Wage Hike,
Rates Go Up-Patten.
UP TO INDUSTRIAL COURT
Case of Carmen Due to Come
Up Tuesday.
Take S15O,OOO to Grant Full De-
mands, Says Patten.

Decided increase in street car fares
in Topeka will Immediately follow any
decision of the industrial court in
favor of the street railway employees in
the case that will come before the IN
dustrial court Tuesday, according to
Albert Patten. general manager of the
Illinois Traction company for Kansas.
Any increase in fares will depend
entirely on how much is granted the
street railway employees. if the in
dustrial court should take action in
their favor.
What the Men Are Asking.
Demands made by the employees
upon the street railway company
would have increased the pay roll
S15O,O0O a year, Patten says. This de-
mand was summarily turned down by
the company. In a general way. en-
ployes are asking 60 to rs cents per
hour for operators of two-man cars;
20 to rs cents for operators of one
man cars. and proportionate increase
for shopmen, against a present sched-
ule of "a to 3S cents for operators of
two-man cars and 81 to IL cents for
operators of one-man cars.
Patten pointed out that the net
earnings of the company amounted to
$4,000 after operating expenses,
taxes and fixed charges, including in
tereSt on 1und debt, floating DEBT, I'M
provements and depreciation had been
deducted. Last year expenses totalled
$4,000 or $4,000 more than the
company had to pay them with. The
books of the comapny indicate the i'm
possibility of adding $150,000 a year
to their operating expenses. They also
indicate that any increase at all in
wage scales will be followed by an
increase in rates to provide revenue
foT paying the wage scale hike.
There are 221 cities in the United
Statesh with street car fares of cents;
SO with 10 cent fares; l with 9 cents
fares; 21 with 8 cent fares; 11S with
Z cent fares; 26 with 7 cent fares and
cents extra for transfers; one with
7 cents central and 5 cents outside
fares; 8 with seven cents zones. accord
ing to Patten
