JOHNSON VISITS
DELEGATES FROM
ANTELOPE STATE
TII Win if You Nebraskans'
'Stick With. Me," Hiram
Says in Early Morn
ing Call.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Washington foirapondent Omaha Bee.
Chicago, 111., June 9. (Special
Telegram.) Senator ' Hiram John
son began a strenuous day, seeing
delegates and counselling with his
lieutenants, by making an early
morning call of courtesy on the Ne
braska delegation. Only the dele
gates and alternates were present
when the Californian entered Ne
braska headquarters. After having
been presented to the delegates and
alternates, the senator said he felt
that he owed a duty to himself, to
meet and greet the representatves
of the Antelope states.
Johnson told them that if they
would stick to him, he would win
the' nomination.
Senator Johnson made a very fa
vorable impression on the members
of the delegation, and they ex
pressed themselves as greatly
pleased over the little Set of po
liteness shown them. The Iowa del
egation's hopping mad over the treat
ment the Chicago press is accord
ing to Governor Lowden. and to
day the delegates authorized the
chairman to issue a formal protest
against the vitriollic attacks being
made on Lowden and the unjust
cartoons being printed of the gover
nor. Iowa Delegates Peeved.
Fred Davis of 5ioux City, sec
retary of the delegation said, "the
articles and cartoons, appearing in
a Chicago newspaper against Gov
ernor Lowden are an insult to the
intelligence of Iowa. As a neigh
boring state to Illinois, we propose
to make this a matter of public re
sentment. And hereafter the mem
bers of the Iowa delegation will re
fuse to go to a convention city
where an unbiased press cannot be
assured.
"Iowa will give Governor Low
den its unqualified support until
he is nominated or withdraws from
the race."
And this brings me to a serious
consideration of the situation, as it
obtains tonight. It is the judgment
of the older politicians and veteran
newspapermen that Johnson has
been eliminated from the contest.
This also is largely true of both
Wood and Lowden, although both
Wood and Lowden will be in the
race after Johnson is disposed of.
But neither Wood nor Lowden can
be nominated, according to the wise
acres, who see in this most puzzling
situation, drifts to either Knox or
Hughes, with Johnson on the tail ot
the ticket, if h can be persuaded to
take the place.
More Hughes Talk.
Back in the suggestive minds of
the jdelegates is the fixed determina
tion to nominate some one who can
lie elected. Some one who is best
for the nation, and by the procedure
cf elimination, all the candidates
heretofore suggested are thrown into
the discard, and Hughes or Knox
loom large on the horizon. The Mas
sachusetts delegation is being held
for Coolidge, until the time comes to
throw the Bay state delegation to
the winner. This is likewise true ot
the Pennsylvania delegation. They
are for Governor Sproul, until the
eventual moment arrives to make
the nominee. Governor Sproul is
not taking the suggestion that he
would make a good presidential can
didate seriously. What Governor
Sproul really wants is to succeed
Senator Penrose, should his illness
result fatally, and become the simon
pure leader of the republican party
in the Keystone state.
New York is actuated by the very
same motives as Pennsylvania, and
the warning issued by Senator Pen
rose from his sick room, in the
Quaker City, that no man must be
nominated who cannot be elected,
has impressed Bill Barnes and the
other New York leader with its
undeniable wisdom; Which brings
one around to Knox or to Hughes
as the standard bearer. No other
solution is in sight.
National Committeeman Howell,
who is regarded here as one of the
very able men on the committee,
achieved a new distinction today in
settling the demands made oh the
national committee by republican
women seeking fepresentation on
the committee.
A committee of five of the na
tional committee was appointed by
chairman Hayes yesterday, to meet
the delegation of republican women
seeking representation, and learn
their views. Mr. Howell was a mem
ber of this committee. The women,
through Mrs. Medill McCormick, re
quested that the committee should
be divided equally between men and
women and that they be accorded
the vice chairmanship of the nation
al committee.
The committee of five held a
meeting at which this counter pro
posistion was submitted: That they
would suggest to the rules com
mittee that the executive committee
be increased from 10 to IS members.
That they would recommend creat
ing the office of vice chairman of
the executive committee, the chair
man of the national committee to
be chairman of the executive com
mittee, but that they were opposed
to anything in the rules that dif
ferentiated between the sexes. They
would further urge, that if the execu
tive committee should be increased
to 15 members, that at least five of
the committee should be women and
they would not object to having
se'en women on the committee.
The women came back with an
other proposition that they have
equal representation on the execu
tive committee, and the vice chair
manship be given to them.
Increase Committee.
" Today in the absence of the chair
man of the subcommittee, appoint
ed to deal with the women, Mr.
Howell moved before the rules com
mittee, that the executive commit
tee be increased to fifteen members,
which was adopted as a happy so
lution of a very delicate question.
The women understand that they
will be accorded seven places on
the executive committee, and be
-given a vice chairmanship of the
committee, and also ' an assistant
Three
Boomlets Born Half Dead
And Lack Patriotic Fire
Of Old Time Conventions
Republican Meeting in Chicago Drama From Start to
Finish Delegates, Wives, Daughters and On
lookers All Actors n Makeup That Leaves No
Mistake of Native Heath.
By DOROTHY DIX.
Chicago, June 9. (Special Tele
gram.) Everybody is saying that
this is the clam-on-icest convention
on record and that every little
boomlet is born half dead with a
general effect of having been kept
too long in cold storage instead of
coming hot and sizzling from off of
the fires of patriotism as they did
in other times when a free people
met together to select a new savior
for their countryi-
But be that as it may, hot or cold.
a presidential convention is a stark
drama from beginning to end. It
is history in the making and one
must be dead, indeed, of soul, not
to thrill with hope and pride and
fear as one watches and waits for
the great composite hand to write
upon the tablets of fate the name of
the man into whose keeping the
destiny of our country may be com
mitted for the next four years. The
most important years that our na
tion will ever know. For in them
we will take our place as a great
world power, or we will sink into
a provincial community, concerned
only with the small affairs of our
backyards.
But it is drama from start to
finish, it is comedy or melodrama,
secretaryship of the national com
mittee.
The women started in by insisting
that there should be two commit
tees, one for the men and one for
the women, but the compromise
outlined above, is satisfactory to
the women.
Mr. Howell also succeeded in get
ting an additional order of business
adopted, to be known as "unfinished
business," coming after the "nomina
tion of vice president," which will
give him a chance to bring before
the convention the question of south
ern representation, a subject to
which he has given much considera
tion. It may be that he will leave
the question for . settlement to the
national committee, asking the con
vention to pass upon ' the matter in
that way.
In any event "unfinished business"
will give the Nebraska member on
the national committee an opportu
nity to i present the matter, which
ever course is decided upon.
Former Congressman E. M. Pol
lard of Newaka appeared before the
resolutions committee today and in
a three-minute speech told the com
mittee what the Farmers' union
wanted as to collective bargaining,
and an enlarged farm loan bank. He
made a very favorable impression.

or farce or tragedy, depending upon
whether you are the delegate from
Rabbit Track with an ornate badge
on your breast and mother and the
girls hanging on your arms, and
rubbering at what the city women
are wearing; or whether you are a
solemn lady politician with your first
innings as a real citizen instead of
being a woman's annex of a citizen;
or whether you are a picket, wicked
and feloniously deprived of your
crown of martyrdom of being given
free leave to go along and picket
to your heart's content if it amuses
you; or whether you are one of those
who came hoping and praying to be
struck by divine lightning of the
nomination and who will go home
with crushed ambition and blighted
aspirations, the sport of the gods.
Politics Makes World Kin.
The sense of play acting is in the
air. The streets are crowded with
good natured people plastered with
badges and trinketry until they look
like mountebanks. Staid fathers of
families have stuck scarlet feathers
with Wood's name on them in their
hats. Men, who .on ordinary oc
casions would perish the thought of
chagrin if they had a necktie a quar
ter of an inch wider or narrower
than the prevailing mode, wear
badges bearing the name oj John
son or Lowden, across their chests.
A man goes up and down a block
stopping everyone he meets and
uttering merely the cryptic words,
"Hoover, the engineer," and nobody
yells for the police.
Everybody talks to everybody else
for we are at the convention and a
touch of politics makes the whole
world kin.
Moreover, whether we are wise or
not, -nobody can deny that playing
politics is the great American game
and we certainly do enjoy it and we
pity from fhe bottom of our hearts
those poor unfortunate people who
have . a hereditary monarchy and
don't get a chance every four years
to go on a nominating-the-presi-dent
orgy.
All Sections Meet.
And so, laughing and gossiping,
the crowds miil around the lobbies
pf the hotels and the various head
quarters. Here an ebon-hued dele

Big Growth Shown.
Announcement tonight of the
populations of San Francisco and
Los Angeles, the two largest cities
of the western half of the country,
left only five of the 20 largest cities
of the United States to be heard
from in the 1920 census. These
five are Chicago, " Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Detroit and Kansas City,
Mo., and until their populations are
made public the ranking of the
'country's 20 largest cities will re
main somewhat doubtful.
San Francisco ranked as eleventh
most populous in 1910 with 416,912
inhabitants, having, shown an in
crease of 74,130, or 21.6 per cent
during the decade. Los Angeles
ranked as 17th city in 1910 with a
population of 319,198, an increase of
216,719, or 211.5 per cent during the
ten years.
How They Stood in 1910.
San Francisco up to 1910, made its
most rapid growth during the dec
ades from 1860 to 1880, while Los
Angeles made its most rapid strides
during the more recent decades. Of
the 22 cities of more than 25,000
population, which in 1910, had more
than doubled their population in the
10 years, Los Angeles had the larg
est growth numerically and stood
fifth in its percentage of increase.
Pasadena was fourth in its percent
age of increase, in 1910, its rate be
ing 232.2 per cent.
San Francisco ranked just under
Buffalo, N. Y., in 1910, with, 42,
000 less peonle. Bufallo's 1920 pop
ulation is 505,875. Milwaukee ranked
itist below San Francisco with 38,
000 people less, and now has a popu
lation of 457.147.
Los Angeles ranked next below
Washington, D. C. in 1910. with
about 12.000 people less and just
shove Minneapolis with about 18,
000 more people. Washington's
1920 population is 437,571 and Min
neapolis has 380,498.
ests in politics was going to modify
her real heart interest in millinery.
And ever present are the wives and
daughters of the delegates for when
an American man goes to a conven
tion to save his country, he takes
along his women folks and gives
them the time of their lives.
And, in the meantime, in quiet
rooms far from the madding
crowd, the men who manufacture
the political collars that will be the
thing we will wear during the sum
uer of 1920 and who tell the people
what they think, are setting the
stage and writing the parts and se
lecting the dramatis personae for
the great political drama on which
the curtain is about to rise.

Convention
By FREDERICK PASLEY.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee I-eased Wire.
Chicago, June 9. In seat three,
row A,' Coliseum, you will pbserve
Addison G. Procter, one of the most
distinguished delegates to the con
vention. He is the only surviving
delegate of the republican national
convention that nominated Abraham
Lincoln for the presidency in 1860.
He was at that time from Kansas.
This time he is from St. Joseph,
Mich., and has no preference in the
matter of presidential nominee, he
says. He is 85 years old.
"Where to go and how to get
there," is the title of a 34 page book
let now being presented to visitors
and delegates, in all hotel lobbies
and in the street. The bally hoos
invariably make a presentation
speech which concludes with, "with
the compliments of our greatest
booster, Mayor William Hale
Thompson." 1
Today Uncle Joe Cannon will
go to Riverview park, to see the
school children, who will be there
some 20,000 strong. "Just going
out for an hour," said Uncle Joe.
"Told I wouldn't do any speech
making or anything. You'd think
I ought to know better but I just
can't keep away from these con
ventions. And I ain't a candidate
for a durned thing, either."
Advt. You can buy the New
York Evening Post at the Boul.
Mich, and Congress streets. The
leather lunged purveyer generally
informs the passing crowds that it
either carries an editorial by Mr.
Hoover or a story about his candi
dacy. Conversational tid-bits picked up
on the run along Presidential Row
and the lobbies:
Two portly dowagers, modishly
tailored, and with the appropriate
cosmetics "she's not the woman
for the position, at all" "Certainly
not. Catty, my word " "And did
you notice the French pumps she
wore today?" "Yes,, they couldn't
have been more than 4s and if she
hasn't got a 9-size foot, I'm insane.
She was crucifying her insteps."
- A new newspaper has arrived in
Chicago. It is the Wood News,
eight pages, six columns. The pub
lisher is George M. Sunday. It will
tell all about Gen. Wood's candi
dacy. "The newsprint shortage
doesn't bother us," said Mr. Sunday,
who is a son of Billy. "We have
plenty of Wood-pulp."

One . year ago Wednesday morn
ing the United States senate received
through the agency of the Chicago,
Tribune, a copy of the peace treaty,
withheld bv President Wilson and
the state department. Wednesday
night mutual friends brought to
gether Senator Borah, who read the
treaty in the senate and Spearman
Lewis, Tribune correspondent who
sent it from Paris. "You were not
half as glad to send it over as the
senate was to get it," Senator Borah
said.
"I am Hiram," apparently does
not include Dr. Ray Lymon Wilbur,
president of Leland Stanford uni
versity, who declared last evening
that "we are going to put every can
didate on the dissecting table and
that this process will inevitably lead
to Hoover."
The Michigan and Alabama dele
gations were guests of Senator
Johnson at -his Auditorium head
quarters.
Acoustics of the 'Coliseum was
declared perfect. Persons most re
mote could hear the speakers. The
special apparatus, a multiplying
sound device, was installed by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, the Chicago Telephone and
the Western Electric companies.
Governor Allen of Kansas, who
will place General Wood in nomina
tion, has completed his speech and
taken it to Fort Sheridan. Wood's
headquarters, for final approval. The
speech, it is said, will not run more
than 2,400 words and shouldn t take
more than 15 minutes to deliver.
An offer of a Philadelphia politi
cian to bet $5,000 that Senator Knox
would be nominated, failed to find
"any takers" in the Congress hotel
lobbies. John Burke, operating di
rector of the Congress, bet $100 that
neither Johnson or Lowden would be
nominated. Managers of other large
loop hotels said few bets were being
made.
