I have it on reliable authority tht Mrs. Wood thought the idea of the general's presidential t chances being borne aloft on the . wings of the morning a pretty one, hence the quills which will adorn the feminine desks of the middle west. "They fly so high, they nearly reach the sky, then, like my dreams, J fhey-" A lot of people are saying the same thing that happened to the bubbles is going to happen to the general's boom.

Chicago, June 6. After taking the most elaborate precautions against a possible drought in cross ing the great American desert, the Massachusetts delegation narrow ly escaped a complete "deboozing" today. When the special train carrying the delegation and its moist cargo reached Detroit, a flock of zealous rum ferrets in the employ of the local dry enforce ment office swooped down upon it. A most thorough raid of hip pockets and suitcases followed. Indignant protests failed to make a dent in the searchers' de termination. Finally members of the delegation appealed over the heads of the officers to their chief. After many plaintive pleas about the dangers of snake bite and flu the chief yielded and ordered the return of an amount sufficient for the delegation's medicinal require ments. The Bay State delegation reached the city with most of its "likker.' British Warships Bombard Positions Of Nationalists Constantinople, June 6. British warships opened fire on nationalist positions near Touzla, on the Sea of Marmora, 38 miles west of Ismid, late Friday night. , ' Constantinople was aroused by the heavy firing of the guns of the Brit ish warships. The nationalists had approached close to the British en trenchments along the Gulf of Ismid, where many British units are sta tioned to protect the troops guarding the railroad. The collapse of the Sultan's troops leaves the British alone to defend the railway termi nals opposite Constantinople. Many Armenian and Greek refuges have entered Ismid after escaping from the nationalists Wolves Becoming More Numerous in Missouri Jefferson City, Mo., June 12.

All camps hope to get an early break among delegations which, on the first ballot or two, will be for "favorite sons." Indications that as second choice Lowden is stronger in New York than his r-ivals. A arrowing conjecture that the convention may not be so protract ed as expected; that baturflay may see the windup. But it is, dope; plain, pure, un adulterated 'dope. As a matter of fact, none of the candidates has be hind him any large group of dele gates ready to stick to the last ditch if ever a band wagon is heard there is nothing like the "Gen. Grant's 304 stalwarts," who dead locked the 1880 convention so tight that it took 36 ballots and the pick ing of Garfield, a dark horse, id break it. From this some of the veterans are beginning to reason that once a drift of importance sets in toward some candidate the end may come faster than expected. Must Spend Money. 1 As to the two Missouri delegates who went south with the Lowden campaign funds, the theory has been that this would weaken Low den materially with ' the delegates because the democrats would grab it for exploitation during the cam paign. But as delegates from the agricultural states, where the elec torate is most sensitive, came roll ing in they indicated otherwise. For example, one Cedar Rapids edi tor in close touch with sentiment in Iowa said: "It hurt Lowden for about 24 hours, when the people after mull ing it over, came to the conclusion that Lowden was simply victimized by a couple of political sharpers. Under direct primaries, money must be spent if a campaign is to be made stamps cost money, so do halls and railroad fares and a can didate can't protect himself against all the unscrupulous. Lowden is no more to blame than if he had been held up by a footpad; the people know it: and thev are not Uoing to be bunked by politfians. JOHNSON'S SENSE OF FAIR PLAY BIG HIT WITH WOMEN Chairman of Working Women Tells Why She Is for Californian. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire. Chicago, June 6. In a statement to women delegates to the republi can convention, Mrs. Raymond Rob ins, president of the International Congress of Working Women, out lined her reasons for supporting Hiram W. Johnson. Mrs., Robins is joint chairman with Mrs. Eleanor Patterson Gizycka of the Women's Johnson division. "I am for Hiram Johnson, first, because we have his record in deeds covering his seven years' services as governor of California and his further service in the senate of the United States," she said. "His great sense of fair play runs through the various laws enacted in California during his administra tion. It is because they know he plays fair that both workers and business men trust him. "Hiram Johnson is a man gov erned by sustained conviction, and he has a way of finishing a task undetaken. Since 1895 he has worked for the enfranchisement of women, as citizen, as governor and as United States senator. "Further, recognizing the need of dealing intelligently and continuous ly with two of the great problems in America, Governor Johnson cre ated the committees on industrial welfare and, immigration and hous ing. "A9 a member of the foreign af fairs committee of the United States senate ' he has studied deeply all questions Of our international rela tionships, and the knowledge which came to him as a member of that committee he shared with his fel low citizens, believing in no secret diplomacy. His statements on Shan tung and Russia are illuminating. "In the ace of certain misunder standings and abuse, he started his fight for the return of our soldiers from Russia and Siberia, and he nev er rested until the task was done and the soldiers at home in America. "Senator Johnson's opposition to the league of nations is well known: 'I decline to subscribe to a docu ment which would send the youth of America into the four quarters of the globe at the behest of, or at the direction or comnland of for eign powers,' he 'told the voters in the primaries. 'My Americanism would have us ever alive to hu manity's cry or civilization's call, quick to respond to suffering and ready to resent wrong; it would view with sympathy the struggles of peoples for freedom or self determination.'

Chicago, June 6. The republican woman will not stand for what they call the kind of camouflage that the democratic party is throwing ove the women of their convention. To day they met at the Auditorium and adopted resolutions drawn up by their shrewdest politician, Mrs. Me dill McCormick, and providing for action to get a place for a woman or two on the national committee. "We can't get equal representa tion now," Mrs. McCormick told them, "but we can request the rules committee to so change the rules of the national committee as to allow us on the national committee. It is pos sible to have a women vice chairman of the national committee. The men created two places, eastern and west ern treasurers, for themselves. Why not have an eastern and western secretaryship for the women? "Another thing, executive commit tee members may be chosen outside the members of the national com mittee. The women must ask for adequate representation." Adopt Resolution. The resolution was adopted after a discussion as to the advisability of tasking for adequate representa tion when what the women were fighting for was equal representa tion. Mrs.-Fletcher Dobbins called the resolution a compromise. "So many men say that women do not want equal representation," she ex plained. "We should let them know that we do." The vote as to whether the word should be "adequate" or "equal" was overwhelmingly in favor of ade quate until after the discussion when it was voted upon again, and the equals had it 75 to 74 votes. The women declared, and followed it with wild applause, that the Hon Will Hays has done morf forewomen than any other single politician.
