CHICAGO, December 16-To Chi
cago, where Abraham Lincoln first was
nominated for the presidency, has been
awarded the city's eleventh National
Republican Convention since that mem
orable 'wigwam" conclave of 1860.
When Rcpublicanism opens its 1882
nominating show in the huge indoor
stadium here. Chicago will be able to
boast of housing more than half the
20 Republican conventions held since
the party took its present name In
1854
From pre-Civil War days to the post
World War era Republicans have named
nine presidential candidates in Chicago.
OF these, seven went to the White
House and two, Lincoln and Garfield
were victims Of assassins
1860 Gathering Notable.
One of the most epochal conclaves
was Chicago'S first-the gathering Of
1850 in a rambling wooden shed called
the Great Wigwam," where eloquent
William H. Seward lost to Abraham
Lincoln on the fourth ballot
Following efforts to impeach Andrs~
Johnson, radical" Republicans VII
sufficient power in the party to dora
mate the Chicago conventic- when
they nominated Ulysses S. Grant for
the presidency in 1868
Again Chicago was the scene Of Re-
publican political turmoil in 1880.
Grant led the nominees until the
thirty-siXth ballot, when a big block
Of votes switched to James A. Gar
field.
The "Plumed Knight" James G.
Blaine, was the Republicans choice
at their Chicago gathering of 1894
Republican votes were split among
l3 candidates in the Chicago Conven-
ton of 1893 which sat six davs until
the nomination of Benjamin Harrison
finally broke deadlock between Blaine
and John Sherman.
FactionaI Strife in 1904.
Factional strife again broke into Chi
cago's Republican convention of 1904,
when the regular Wisconsin delega-
ticn headed by the then Gov. Robert
NJ. Ia Toilette, was unseated during
a threc-da" session that nominated
Theodore Roosevelt.
In 1903 La Toilette was urged on the
Chicago convention, but william How
ard Taft was named as Roosevelt's
heir despite the rising tide of West
ern Progressive influence
Then came to Chicago the historic
convention Of 1912. when bitterness of
the struggle for. control of Republican
party machinery caused the split that
brought a ruInp convention of Bull
Noosers.' who named Roosevelt on the
Progressive ticket Regulars nominated
Taft for second term
The Republicans returned to Chicago
in 1916 to nominate Charles Evans
Hughes
Chlcago's last Republican nominating
bee was in 1920. when Warren G..

SkyScraperS that served as landmarks

the river front have been transformed

MUCH OF INTEREST
HEARD ON POULTRY

In spite of unfavorable weather con-
ditions on Friday, September 25, one
hundred eighty-nine adults braved the
weather and attended the Poultry
Achievement day which was held at
the school auditorium in Hinckley.
Exhibits were staged by the twelve
different groups, each group repre-
senting some phase of poultry culture
most essential for the different
months.
Miss Cora Cooke, extension special
list, was present and gave a very in
teresting talk on the conditions of
poultry raising at the present time.
w. F. Hammargren, county agent,
gave summary of home project work
during the past eight years, revealing
the interesting fact that no one year
had passed but that some home pro-
ject had been carried on. This he
credited to the wonderful cooperation
of the home chairmen in the various
townships and the local leaders that
had given so freely of their time.
The announcement that a new coun-
ty agent had been employed met with
approval from every one attending.
This will assure the home groups of
being able to carry on home project
next year.
A picnic lunch was enjoyed in the
auditorium, coffee being furnished
free by the Moorish Grocery, having
been prepared by Charles Gebhart,
and cream was furnished by the CO.
operative creamery. Every one voted
the coffee the best ever and agreed
that Mr.. Gebhart was a splendid cof-
fee maker.
