to it from the national committee
which has heard these contests and
made up the temporary roll. These
hearings will begin this afternoon.
The Resolutions Committee, most i'm
portsnt of the four, is to draft the
platform, and it. too. will begin its
hearings Immediately. Two old
friends, the prohibition question and
the soldiers bonus, which used to
occupy much Of the time of the Reso-
lutions Committee, are "out' this
year. But the Resolutions Committee
will have plenty of trouble without
them.
The session set for 8 o'clock tonight
will be principally for the purpose Of
listening to the keynote speech, q
speech that may have its bearing on
the nomination for Vice President or
even for President, should Landon not
be the choice of the convention on an
early ballot. II Senator Steiwer
catches the fancy of the delegates,
they may turn to him to fill the vice
presidential nomination. Already there
is considerable sentiment among the
delegates for him.
Big Day Tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be given over to the
permanent organization of the con-
'vention, with a speech by Representa-
tive Bertrand H. Smell of New York,
Republican leader of the House, and
to q speech by former President Herb
ert Hoover, and finally to the recep-
tion of the report Of the Resolutions
Committee-the platform.
The delegates assembled with the
great majority believing that the
nomination of Landon for President is
inevitable-perhaps on the first bal
lot. However, the Landon managers
are still toying with the idea that it
would be satisfactory to hold OF until
q second ballot They do not wish to
be criticized for steam roller" tactics,
nor to bring heartaches because dele
gates have not voted for other candi-
dates In accordance with promises
given. Furthermore. they are looking
forward to the general election next
November and they want a united
party. They still look longingly to-
ward Senator william z, Borah Of
Idaho. They wish his aid on the

KNOX URGES PLANK
ON MINIMUM WAGE
BY the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, June s.-Col
Frank Knox Of Chicago, newspaper
publisher and candidate for the Re-
publican Presidential nomination.
said yesterday he disagreed with those
Republicans who have proposed a
minimum wage amendment to the
Constitution as a plank in the party's
platform.
He voiced the belief that the Con-
stitution already provided powers
for control of workers wages and
hours by the States.
"The Republican party" he said,
this time has a chance to be the
most liberal party In the world, be-
cause it has q chance to perpetuate
the principle of democracy, and that
Is the essence of liberlism."
Knox asserted in an interview that
the most important issue in this
years campaign is the preservation
of the American form of democratic
government"

New Hampshire Governor
Said to Be Ready to Quit

BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, June g. Gov. H.
Styles Bridges Of New Hampshire was
added today to the growing list Of Re-
publican vice presidential possibilities
Clarence v. Beck, Kansas attorney
general, said he had approached the
38-year-old New Englander and found
him receptive.
Whether this move from the Landon
camp meant the Kansan had decided
upon an Eastern running mate was a
subject of considerable speculation.
others of Landons friends are known
to favor an all-Western ticket.
Would Forego Senate Race,
Beck said Bridges had told him he
was prepared to forego plans to run
for the Senate to take a number two
place on the Landon ticket.
Only two active campaigns for the
vice presidential nomination were be-
ing waged yesterday. Friends of Col
Arthur w. Little of New York and
]. Leonard Replogle of Palm Beach
Fla. opened headquarters for their
candidates.
The Florida delegation voted in
caucus to support Replogle.
New Jerseys delegates decided last
night to nominate Walter E. Edge
former United States Senator from
that State, for Vice President.
Still prominently mentioned also
were Representative Wadsworth of
New York. Senator Hastings Of Dels
ware and Senator Steiwer of oregon.
Steiwer Address Factor.
Steiwers keynote address tonight
was looked upon as one factor pos
sibly determining whether he would
be available.
Discussion of George NJ Peek, for

craftsman of one of the numerous
farm planks was accompanied by a
suggestion of Representative Tread
way of Massachusetts that the farm
economist might be vice presidential

inee is inevitably so closely allied
with the presidential nomination that

keep a stitf upper lip. The prepon-

|HARR|SON'S WIDOW
AT c. 0.P. SESSIONS.
In 18th Year, She Continues
Active in Republican
Women'S Group.
BY HELEN WALKER HOMAN.

CLEVELAND, June (N.A,N, N,AD.-
The presence of the widow of Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison at the Re-
publican National Convention is an
| impressive symbol Of her abiding faith
In the traditions which her distin-
| guished husband maintained.
1t also endows this vast aSsemblage,
in which women appear to be repre-
sented in larger numbers than in any
previous national convention, with an
interesting contrast between the Older
and the newer American womanhoOd
concerned in public affairs.
From the platform Mrs. Harrison
will observe the younger representative
Republican women play a more active
role in political matters than was as
sumed by members of her sex back in
the 1905.
OfficiaI Of Organization.
In her seventy ninth year, Mrs Har-
rison is still active as treasurer of the
women's organization, the Republican
Committee of One Hundred. In Cleve-
land she is visiting at the home of
Mrs. Frank r. Herrick, along with
Mrs. Harold Matthews. chairman of
| the Committee of One Hundred.
Characteristically she had motored
from New York, preferring the long
drive through open country to jour-
ney by train, and she did not seem
wearied by the trip.
II wouldn't have missed this con-
vention for anything, she said. Every
thoughtful Republican woman knows
that, in the annals of the party. this
convention is the most important one
| for generations"
'There will probably be some lovely
parties given here in your honor" It
was suggested.
PARTIES" she protested. "You don't
really think we'll have time for parties,
do you? I'm not going to miss a thing
at the convention sessions.
I'VE women are interested in only
one thing-a strongly revitalized Re-
publicanism and the selection of the
ablest candidate for President"
Certain of Victory.
Asked whether she believed the Re-
publican party would win in the next
| presidential election, she replied:
There's no doubt of it. For we are
going to work as we have never worked
| before"
"You know" she continued, "the last
| Republican convention 1 attended was
/ that of 1912. in Chicago. That one
saw the party split by the Taft-Roose-
welt disagreement So do not remem-
ber it as happy experience. But
feel sure that this one will be inspir-
! ing"
What differences have you already
notice as this convention is about to
start?"
THE most striking one is the pres
ence of so many more women who
are not only active in public affairs.
but many of whom have achieved
national political distinction. Their
| increase in numbers during these "a
years is amazing"
"You see them then as an actual
power in national events?"
"I see them as a power, the vast
ness of whose potentiality they
haven't yet realized"
You mean politically?"
