sire to be as near as possible to the
field of action. The convention, by this
token, is attracting more interest
throughout the country than has any
previous gathering.
Captain Hubert Howard, state pro-
hibition enforcer, in reply to hordes of
physicians who have besieged him for
extra blanks to take care of "out of
town patients here for the conven-
tion," met with rebuff. Whisky pre-
scriptions to save the lives of ailing
delegates to the convention will not be
needed, he said.
All Republican candidates for the
presidential nomination are going to
shake hands, exchange compliments,
and tell each other that there won't
be any sore spots," no matter who is
nominated. Gov. Lowden is sponsor
for the movement

GREENSBORO GIRL IS
ARRESTED AS FORGER

Posing as Mrs. c. l.. Cummns, and
Mrs. Anna Howell, of Greensboro, Ind,
beautiful young woman giving her
name as Mrs. NJ. E. McSpadden. of
Greensboro, was arrested shortly after
IL a. m. Tuesday, on charges Of
forgery, after she had succeeded in
cashing checks aggregating s115 at
local stores.
The young woman. who appears to
be about % years old, bought a shirt
waist at the Knollenberg store, giving
check for s45, made out to Mrs. C.
L. Cummins and signed by c. L. Cum
Minis
The bank officials at Greensboro
say that the failure of the description
of the woman in the store to tally
with their knowledge of Mrs Cum
Minis led them to call her.
The bank officials had just found
that she had not been away from
Greensboro, they say, when a second
call came in from the Kennedy CON-
pany. The bank instructed the local
merchants to shadow" the young
woman until they made further inves-
tigation. When they found that Mrs.
Anna Howell. to whom the second
check was made out, was also in
Greensboro. they informed stores here
that the woman must be an imposter.
Advices from Greensboro indicate
that there is no McSpadden family
there now.
Upon receipt of the information from
the bank, Officer Fee was instructed
to arrest the young woman and she
was intercepted on her way to the
railroad station.
One of the checks was made out to
Katie Cummins and was signed by c.
l.. Cummins. Another check was made
cut to Anna Howell and signed by
| Overette Howell.

LONG JOB OF
BALLOTING IS
A.P.FORECAST
Records for Length of Con-
vention Given - May be
Broken, Belief of Observers
in Coming Struggle.
SITUATION UNSETTLED
(By Associated Press)


CHICAGO, June 8.-Unique in the
annals of the party the Republican
national convention assemblies today
Embossed, unbridled and with no pres
idential candidate having enough
votes in sight to assure his
nomination.
1t promises to be a record breaker
in all respects. 1t may cast more bal
lots than any other Republican con-
vention since Garfield was nominated
in 1880, before the party standard
bearer is named.
There is still such complete alb
sence Of bosses as to leave the con-
vention leaderless. Chieftains who
spoke with authority in the days gone
by are standing on the side lines hav-
ing a chuckle while the delegates go
through the experience of having a
peoples convention
1t is true that several score of dele
gates are instructed either by their
district conventions or by state pri-
maries, but nobody, including their
own state leaders, knows how long
they are going to stand hiJched.
Conferences Are Reported
The air is choked with reports of
delegation conferences at which it
mas Deen decided 10 StdnQ Dy the IdF-
orite son or instructions on enough
ballots to comply with state laws or
fulfill the good faith that goes with
a primary expression of preference
For instance, one candidate issues
statement and serves notice that he
wants no mplimentary or favorite
son vote but wants the real thing with
a will to win. Almost at the same mo-
ment his state delegation has a meet
ing and the delegates decide among
themselves to give him all the first
ballot, and split up various ways on
the others.
The situation presents an opportun-
ity for some shrewd leader to step
forward at the psychological moment
and invite a stampede. Practical pol
iticians agree that an unled conven-
ton is an easy mark for a runaway.
A glance at the convention records
since Lincoln was nominated in 1860
discloses the unusual prospects for
the present one. In those conventions
the balloting was as follows:

than any other man in discussions of

special dispatch of Robert G. Tucker.
printed today in the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
CHICAGO, H., June S.-A fight
among the leaders of the Indiana
delegation today enabled them to
break prominently into the limelight of
national politics.
1t all appeared to be due to the con-
ficting ambitions of Senator James
Eli Watson, an avowed candidate for
the Craftsmanship of the committee on
resolutions, and Albert Jerimiah
Beveridge, former renator, who aspires
to the permanent craftsmanship of the
convention, that would enable him to
make a speech such as his friends
hope would make him a dark horse
for the presidency.
Another factor iE the battle within
The delegation is said to be Governor
James P. Goodrich, who is anti-Watson
in all Indiana political matters.
For the last three or four days there
has been evidence of a growing con-
fiict between the friends of Senator
Watson and those of Beveridge 1t
has been stated by Watson leaders
that Governor Goodrich came here
'primed" to defeat Senator Watson for
the Craftsmanship of the resolutions
committee and that he has been work
ing quietly in that direction for more
than week
Mills Boom Is Involved.
Governor Goodrich is charged by the
Watson adherents with having been
one of the original promoters of the
boom of Ogden Mills, of New York, for
the Craftsmanship of the resolutions
committee. They say the governor
quietly has been for Mills while pro

TRIANGULAR Deadlock Certain
Overnight reports and rumors from
candidates camps and delegation
headquarters shed no new light on the
situation. A triangular deadlock be-
tween Wood. Lowden and Johnson
still appeared the almost certain re-
suit to come on the first trial of vot-
ing strength Wednesday or Thursday,
with probably more than score Of
favorite sons, dark-horses or individ-
ua selections sharing more than half
of the total vote.
The roll call will give, however.
the first clear intimation as to what
the mass of the more than 500 fancy
+ free, uninstructed delegates have been
thinking as they milled restleSslv
about the hotel lobbies hour by hour.
1t will contain information for which
all parties to the great dispute have
been waiting and let loose new moves
and counter-moveS about the men who
cast the votes.
1t was this situation that gave dark
horse talk additional prominence yes
terday in the hotel lobbies and" with
it came an undercurrent from arriv-
ing delegations of suggestion that af-
| ter all it might be wiser to put for
ward candidate whose name had not
been involved in the senate inquiry
into pre-convention expenditures and
activities of presidential aspirants.
Hughes Name UP.

setts, also was mentioned. Senator

THE SPRING DRIVE.

The whistle will blow on Nav IL.
On that day 5000 batteries will open
up simultaneously on the extended
front between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans. On that day the 5000 posts
of The American Legion will go into
action on common zero hour.
The drive will start May II and end
May %. National Headquarters
has designated this period as Member
ship Week. Everyone of the 5000
posts is expected to line up for the
jumpoff, to keep going in spite of
difficulties of the terrin and not to
stop until the day designated for con-
solidating the gain.
Forty-nine Departments will go
over the top together. In each de-
partment the state organization will
be responsible for the drive within
its jurisdiction. Generalship and staff
work will have full play, but it will
be the driving power of the regiments
and companies on the city and county
lines which will directly produce the
new members.
The campaign will show the COM
parative power of accomplishment of
The American Legion in each of the
forty-nine departments. Each state
will be judged by the showing it
makes. The pride of the post and
State should be the same sort of fight
ing pride which made every Ameri-
can division-every regiment-defend
and uphold its reputation always.
Each post, each state will be relied
upon to hold it's own in the totals of
the new members obtained between
May II and May %.
