Wood Sponsors On Committee
Deprecate Accusatons of
.." "Steam Roller" Methods
Made by Senator Moses.
: Chicago. June K5. Charges of
Senator Moses of New Hampshire,
that the republican national conimit-
,.... tee has used "steamroller" methods
; in deciding contests were denied by
several committeemen at today's
4' Committee sittings.
,, . j.j b McCoy, national commit
teeman from the Philippines,
brought up the Moses charges and
' declaring he was a Wood supporter,
denounced Senator - Moses state-
; mont as "absolutely unwarranted."
National Committeeman High-
' V"1' f West Virginia, who also
; "wid he is for Wood, made similar
' statements.
Wood Denies Charges.
Neither General Wood nor Col.
' William C. Porter, his campaign
manager, support charges of Sen
ator Moses of New Hampshire that
f :?the national committee has used
. . ".steamroller" methods in its contest
', decisions, Mr. McCoy declared.
; Chairman Hays was defended by
National Committeeman McGraw of
uManoma, wno said no one ques
sJjfl?oned Mr. Hays' fairness, honesty
"""alid integrity.
National Committeeman Kean of
Now Jersey interjected that "Gen.
Wood must be a great man because
his friends can male so many mis
takes." " That there have been "sinister or
personal motives" in the commit
tee's decisions was asserted by Na
. tional Committeeman Stanley of
"Kansas, another Wood partisan,
i'- H Committeemen Are Mad.
The committee also was defended
by. National Committeeman Hy--,iiicKa
of Ohio, who pointed out that
jhe committee's decisions had been
-4itianimous except in five cases only.
Tite deplored "criticism from an out
sider who never heard the cases."
National Committeeman Work of
Colorado also came to the commit
tee's defense,
v.-"I'm surprised that in these pip
""irig. times of prohibition to see such
, a statement from a United States
senator," he said.
xs-,-in$ roil ot committees decisions
today was read by Secretary Miller
o show that, and National Commit
SXOman Parsons of New York point
ed out that in the disputed Georgia
case all district contests were set
tled unanimously.
Denies Any Prejudice.
In calling the committee's atten
tion to the Moses' charges Mr. Mc
Coy said he resented them and add-
"The vote of this committee on
every case has been on the rights
and justice, and not tinged by any
tersonaj preference as to candi
dates. There rs no basis for Sena
tor Moses statement. It is unwar
r . minted and 'is his own personal
trpinion and is not the opinion either
of General Wood or Colonel Proc
ter." McCoy said he had been urging
General Wood's nomination for
jnore than a year and would con
tinue his support, but deplored the
Moses charge.
Chairman Hays did not join in
the discussion except to interject
that there appeared to he "perfect
Warmony" in the committee. W. H.
Harris of Athens, of the Lowden
"friction, was seated from the Eighth
Georgia district in the absence of
formal claim by a negro contestant
pledged to Wood.
General Blue Takes

Against Typhus Germs
Paris, June 5. Maj. Gen. Rupert
Blue, former head of the United
States public health service, who is
in Europe to investigate health con
ditions with Dr. G. M. Converse of
the American health service, has just
tjpened offices in Paris. He has
cabled to Washington for five addi

diers returning to America. His
principal mission in Europe is to aid
in the enforcement of the American

He expected to stay only a few
weeks, but found the situation

Convention Sidelights
Chicago, June 5. "William Jen
nings Bryan interviewed me todav,"
Governor Lowden remarked to the
correspondents. Then he added:
"It's easy to give an interview to
Bryan; he does all the takling."
"Give us jour impressions," a
newspaper correspondent asked 6i
the Nebraska democrat.
"Don't forget there's honor among
thieves," Bryan chuckled.
"I am a correspondent, too, and
we musn't rob each other."
Here's another on 'Brvan: The
Commoner called on Senator Hiram
Johnson, entering the room just as
the newspaper men who had been
talking with the California!! were
concluding:
"Don't stop," said Bryan, "I'm a
newspaper man myself now. I
thought I would just stay behind
after the others had left and pick up
the fragments."
"Not mine, I hope," Johnson re
torted, smiling.
Senator Moses of New Hamp
shire, who conducted Wood's can
vass in the southern states, after
watching the slaughter of Wood
delegates by the national commit
tee, flew into a rage and declared
that the steam roller of yesteryear
was a toy compared with the "tans
ot the present committee."
Miss Alice Paul, leader of the
well known Washington militants,
has arrived to stir a hot broth loi
those who fail to answer her in
sistent query: "Do you want women
to vote in 1920?"
Mrs. Florence Collins Porter,
member of the national republican
executive committee for four south
western states, is here hut conven
tions are "old stuff" to her, she hav
ing been one of the two first women
delegates in 1912.
Col. Henry W. Anderson of
Richmond, Va., is conducting a hot
campaign for vice president on an
impressive platform, the main plank
of which, he says, will create a
"representative republican party in
the southern state." He says the
Virginia delegation is pledged to
him.
John McGrath of New York, for
mer secretary to President Roose
velt, is litre attired in gum shoe?.
He says he is here in the interests
of George W. Perkins, but neglected
to say what the interests might be.
Eammons de Valera. president of
the "Irish Republic," it was an
nounced tonight, will attend the
convention, having been supplied
with tickets. He is going to be a
strong supporter of Senator Johnson.
Judge Vernon Van Fleet of In
diana,, sounded solemn warning to
the delegates that the candidates
must be a thorough, tried and true
American, with a sturdy backbone
and a sound head, instead of a the
orist who will try to enforce acad
emic policies. Judge Van Fleet
says great, new national policies
must be decided upon and carried
out, the United States must be lifted
out of the gutter of laziness and
set upon solid ground and started
going on all cylinders.
A man you war.; to cultivate at
the Coliseum next week is Traffic
Policeman G. E. Peterson. He will
be in charge of the main entrance.
He was assigned by Chief Garrity
because of his. ambassadorial poise.
Mr. Peterson has been attending
night law school t-jr six years. He
knows Blackstone backwards. He
studies five night s a week When
here isn't a republican national
convention in town you will find
him tooting his vhistlt at State
and Madison .streets.
The high cost oi living? "Well,"
explained James Harris, chairman
of the Oklahoma state republican
committee, "the solution is to 'go
back to the farm.' What we need
is more young men raising corn
ani wheat" and fewer raising ln-11 in
the cities." Mr, Harris incidentally,
owns 6.000 acres or the best Okla
homa black loam soil. He raises
cattle on' the side.
If you wander along Presidential
row and ask who is the most popu
lar man they wiii tell you J. A.
Whitcomb. He hniis from McAl
estti, Okl. He's a candidate for no
of(ice. seeks no largesse, and asks
no favors from anv man. All he
does is to buy ice ercani sodas for
the young ladies who toil at type
wriers in t he respective candidates
'icni'quartcrs. "They all know I'm
io smart Aleck," explained Mr.
Whitcomb. "I'm married and over
