Poincare Meeting Significant.
Inc meeting a a dinner given by
American Ambassador Herrick last
evening of Mr. Hughes and former
Premier Raymond Poincare of France
Is regarded in French circles as the
most significant of all of the events
IN which the American statesman par
Frenchmen to believe that the head
of the American State Department and
the leading tigure in French politics
would allow such an occasion to pass
without discussing momentous inter-
national questions.
The dinner, however, was arranged
automatically, without reference to
politics of any sort. The presence of
NJ. Franklin Bouillon. who is one of
NJ. Poincare's strongest supporters in

name that evoked loud and long cheer
ing as what Mr.. Burton said. This
was 1t:
with some disappointment, as one
whose public service has been in leg
islative position, truth compels me to
say that by far the greater share of
our citizenship looks to President Cool
idge rather than to congress for lead
ership."
All over the great public hall dele
gates and spectators rose to their feet
TO applaud this statement, and even
many of the senators and representa-
tives who have set themselves in op-
position to the President over and over
again Joined in the hand-clapping.
Another demonstration that seemed
real was the ovation given Secretary
of the Treasury Andrew Mellon. Dur
ing the formalities of completing the
temporary organization he rose from
the midst of the PENNSYLVANIA delega
ton to make a triflling motion. At
once the convention burst into almost
wild cheering and the secretary was
compelled to mount to the platform and
acknowledge It The man who runs
the country's finances might well feel
flattered by the reception given him.
Just after this incident bit of real
sentiment was injected into the pro-
ceedings. The chair announced that
there was present the sole surviving
member of the Republican convention
that nominated Abraham Lincoln for
the residency-Addison G. Proctor of
st. Joseph, Mich. The venerable gen
tleman was led to the front and the
cheering host arose to greet him, and
listened with respect to his brief re-
sponse.
That Congressman Burton IN his
keynote speech accomplished with great
skill difficult task was admitted by
ALL He could not entirely overlook
the breach that has existed between
the administration and congress. nor
could he be too emphatic in placing
the blame for 1t. But he recognized
the change that was coming over the
party management and gave the Presi-
dent full measure of praise. At the
same time he said little that could of
fend the most sensitive of those Re-
publican members of congress who
have been in opposition to the admin
stration's policies.

Then there are the hotels, ample In

were kept well within reason.
Cleveland seems to have more auto

Local committees, social organiza-
tions and individuals arranged pro-
grams of entertainment to fill up the
hours when the convention was not in
session, and many of the men and
women visitors were accommodated
by the various golf clubs. There were
theater parties, boat rides, band con-
certs, fireworks and other things ga

given for the woman, and program

The matter os providing excitement
was up to the representatives of the
party, who had none to provide. The
crowds in the hotel lobbies, when they

that elusive subject, the vice presiden-
tial candidate, gossiped with old and

Significant Changes

Outside the convention hall, in the
rooms where the various state delega-
tions met to organize and name their
representatives. on the committees,
another mandate of the mass of the
party was carried out. The old line
leaders were relegated to the rear and
the management put into new hands.
Thus the Massachusetts delegation
took its craftsmanship away from Sen
ator Lodge and gave 1t to Governor
Cox, and the man who had for so long
dictated to the Bay state Republicans
was not even put on the platform com
mittee. The efforts Of Harry Daugh-
erty's friends in the Ohio delegation to
rehabilltate him came to naught when
Maurice Maschke was chosen as ma
tional committeeman, Senator Willis
as chairman of the delegation and
Simeon u. Fess was put on the com
mittee on resolutions. SO it went not

TO show that revolution in party
management was under way. Senator
Lodge was as suave and smiling as
ever, and as tired looking but his smile
had a touch Of bitterness, and many
another former leader was in the
dumps as he saw his power fading
away.
There was but one dlscordant ele-
