INCIDENTS BEFORE THE BIG REPUBLICAN CONTEST IN THE COLISEUM AT CHICAGO Chicago, June 10.—The chief duty of the Chicago hotel clerk just now is to point out the political celebrities. It has been necessary to describe big men of the convention for persons seeking them so many times that John Burk, head clerk of the Annex, can give finest identifying details of attire and build of a statesman in a mo ment. A great part of the population of the hotel consists of newspaper, magazine, and free lance photographers. Twelve snapshotters were in an arc about Sen ator J. M. Dixon of Montana, Colonel Roosevelt's manager, when he con sented to be photographed on his ar rival. Before the senotor reached the hotel on Wednesday two men had been led out on Michigan avenue by the camera squad in the belief that each of the accommodating strangers w as the Mon tanan. One photographer would be "tipped off” that "the tall, white hair ed man in the Panama is Senator Dix on.” The stranger at once would be invit ed out in the street for different poses in the sun. Of the two cases of mis taken identity one was A. B. Butler of Washington, a Taft camp aid. It is said the other was a Boston linen salesman. He did not deny he was Senator Dixon, and posed graciously with and without his hat and facing in different advantageous angles. A New One From Texas. Col. Cecil Lyon of the Texas dele gation, and an irrespressible supporter of Roosevelt, had a new story to tell to take the place of his old one about the cataclysm In Yoakum county. Tex as, where a Democratic county conven tion instructed for Roosevelt, causing : Wilson supporters to bolt. “I was walking down the street with Charles Hilles In Washington the other day,” began Colonel Lyon, after some one had said President Taft's secretary had arrived at the Black stone hotel. “A small delivery wagon passed,” the colonel continued. *'I looked up and saw four large volumes stacked on top with the titles facing us. Three of the books were reports of the Re publican conventions of 1900, 1904 and 190S. The fourth was ‘Problems of the Day,' by William H. Taft. , I di rected Mr. Hilles' attention to the load of books. He seemed offended.” Borah's Bushy Hair. Senator Borah of Idaho is one of the few big men of the convention who cannot be called picturesque, unless his bushy hair entitles him to that de scription. It is said his only reason for wearing so much hair is to con ceal a bad scar on the hack of his head received in an accident in his youth. Mr. Borah, like Jonah K. Kalania naole. Hawaiian delegate, has a round, chubby, Buster Brown type of physi ognamy. His dignity, however, is such that none would think of calling him ‘‘Cupid”—and that is the brown | skinned islander’s nickname in con- 1 gress. Has His Name on $5 Bill. A southern delegate was much ex cited over the appearance of a tali negro at the Coliseum annex who figured in several conferences. •’Have you a $5 bill?" asked a friend. When the currency was produced the friend called attention to the sig nature of the registrar of the treasury, Judson Lyon. ’’That same dark person over there is Judson Lyon, delegate from Geor gia,” was the explanation. Urey Woodson's Story. Urey Woodson, secretary of the Democratic national committee, is tell ing a story which has what he claims is a moral. “Yon Republicans.” says Mr. Wood- | son. ’‘remind me of old Colonel Gun- i fire, who, although a Democrat, lived j In a stronghold of Republicanism. One I winter he blew in and asked to be j sworn in as a member of the Demo- j cratic legislature. i “Colonel, did you sure enough beat a Republican?” “Suh, I beat three of ’em at once.” “Now that is what we are going to do in less numbers. Get together and scrap, but after it is over watch us ’ Democrats beat two of you, Taft and ' Teddy, all at once.” Want Sherman Renominated. ( Former Governor Franklin Murphy of New Jersey took his seat with the national committee minus the vice presidential boom which he had with him four years ago. This year Mr. Murphy is singing the praises of Vice President Sherman for another term "I know that custom is against re nominating a vice-president,” he said, ’’but there is a strong current in favor of renominating Vice-President Sher man. It will probably be an eastern man and all the gossip I have heard has been for Sherman.” Mr. Murphy added that the “vice presidential bee” has ceased to buzz in his direction. A group of out-of-town newspaper representatives were on the point of making an enumeration in the vicin ity of the Coliseum of emergency cafes for reference in times of busy sessions. "Col. Cecil Lyon has Just put through a motion making newspaper men guests at a cafe service to be installed in headquarters at once,” said a committeeman who left the ses sion before adjournment Colonel Lyon was proposed for dark horse candidate—immediately, and unanimously. Good Nature the Rule. Good nature is the rule among all of the national committeemen and dele gates. None is too harassed by puz zling political entanglements to deny any one a smile and handshake. “An old crab has lots of luck in this game—I don’t think!” laughed Senator Dixon, Roosevelt’s manager, after he had passed out a dozen pulsat ing hand grasps. Then he walked over to former Senator Dick—Taft contest director—in the lobby of na tional committee headquarters at the Coliseum annex and slapped him on the back. “ ’Lo,” said Mr. Dixon. “Right back at you, senator," smiled Mr. Dick. Those who were near the two chiefs of the hostile camps could hear a boy ish “Joe" and "Charley” being ex changed at times. They were like old col’-ge chums. Friendly eye twinkling scenes between chiefs and lieutenants and subalterns of the opposing forces were common. One noteworthy meeting that start ed amicably and ended in a torrid ar gument was between Joseph Healing of Indiana and Congressman Lucius C. Littauer of New York. Importance of the Bell Boys. The bell boys of the big hotels have been pressed into service for all sorts of duties. They not only carry ice water and life preservers to the vari ous headquarters and rooms of dele gates, but also serve iD the capacity of page, “state house messenger,” marshal of delegations, office hoy, in troducer, and general headquarters at tache. There are hundreds of different doc uments to be exchanged between head quarters, with verbal explanations to go to the men in charge. “Here's the list of delegates from Alabama with the Twenty-third dis trict left out,” a delegation chief ex plains to the boy in buttons. “Take it up to Senator Blank with my com pliments. and inform him I will send the rest to him in half an hour.” When a hop was dispatched with a copy of the recommendations of the rules committee, to be submitted to the national committee, a senator re marked: “That young man has a mission of more widespread influence than that of any other boy in America.” “Whoo-ee,” sighed a bell boy. He was counting change. “Nine hours on the hop and only $1.60 in tips. I am going to vote the Democratic ticket straight.” Teddy's Bulldog. When the Roosevelt press bureau arrived from Washington they brought with tbem a new campaign song, which is causing a smile even among the Taft delegations. It is to the tune of "Casey Jones.” Teddy's gotta dawg, but he aint no hound. He’s a square jawed bull, and his face is round. His legs is short, and he’s close to the ground, And you bet they ain’t kickin’ Teddy’s dawg around. CHORUS. Square jawed bull, and his face is round. Squared jawed bull, and his face is hound. Short legged bull, close to the ground. And you bet they ain’t kickin' Teddy’s bull around. The Democratic dawg, the unlucky hound That the boys have all been kickin' around Is the same old dawg that's been stick in' roun’ Since old Abe Lincoln came to Wash ington town. And now he comes back, the measley hound. With his face and his tail still bangin' down. The hungry, sly old lop eared hound,! No wonder the boys have been kickin'; round. All Taft Types. It has been noticed that a great j part of the delegates that have arrived ; are robust men. "All Taft types,” com-! mented an admirer of the president. Chief among the heavyweights Is A. M. Stevenson. Colorado national com mitteeman. who halls from Denver. Mr. Stevenson weighs more than 300 pounds. Delegation From Hawaii. Seated in a comer of the Pompeiian room at the Congress hotel was a lit tie party composed of the Hawaiian delegation. Prince Kalanionaolc, gen erally called "Prince Cupid,” and C A. Rice, delegates from the island; H. j L. Holstein, national committeeman; j A. Homer. 'Secretary to the delegation, and Colonel S. Parker, the "Mark Han- j na of Hawaii.” made up the party. “It can't be all work and no play," said the prince. Since a Roosevelt delegation came into the Congress singing a parody on the ''Houn' Dog.” Taft supporters have begun to put themselves in practice for the campaign veils. Short, long, loud and sharp, they come in all varieties. Some are for use before and some after the nomi nation. A mourning song is being written, bemoaning the fate of “Ted dy,'' and several in jubilation, in an ticipation of the success of Taft. A farewell yell will be put in use later. The last line tells the whole story. “We're going home, we’re broke.” Colonel Lyon’s Bride. Colonel Lyon of Texas asked Mrs. Lyon to pose for newspaper photog raphers. She did it with reluctance, and after It was all over the colonel said softly, with a wink at the report ers: “Dear, don’t let those fellows know you are a bride.” The colonel and Mrs. Lyon have been married several years and have one presidential possibility. “I like to kid her, you see,” ex plained the colonel, *%ut she knows a Joke when she sees 1L By the way. that girl can mix the best mint julep in the world, but wouldn’t drink one. Along the same policy she says she will move out of any state that ever goes prohibition. One day while she was visiting in Colorado she read in the paper that I was going to change my politics. She immediately wrote me that if I did that it was up to me, but that she and the maid and the cook and the men on the ranch would all be ‘agin’ me, and quietly hinted that the best thing I could do was to vote for Teddy as long as I live.” HOW GIRLS MAT AVOID .
