Out of the deadlock which will
be produced by the failure of

come the nominee, be he dark
horse or one of the big three.

After looking over the (much mixed
situation with its lack of iead and
leadership, the men whose Influence
counts in the party councils have
come to the conclusion that about the
best way out Is to let the candidates
with the largest number or supporters
trot a few heats to show the conven
es v,o tkav fan tor can not - do.

the delegates themselves will be, In bet
ter position to determine whether they
prefer to combine on .one oi tne inree.
or look at some dark horses. -Riders
"Not to Be Found.
Up to this time dark -horses have
gone begging for riders because those
who had any considerable support like
Johnson, Lowden or Wood refused fto
look at others for fear of Indicating
weakness before a test of strength had
been made. .
Even those who favored a dark horse
were unable to attract any support for
him because there has been no oppor
tunity for one dark horse to establish
a lead over another. - To the mass of
uninstructed delegates they are all a
lot of dark horses and nothing more.
The practical .politicians begin to
realize that the only solution offered
Tias to let the convention call for a
iark horse and then show a few, with
the possibility, of course, that the con
vention might decide it could go fur
ther and do far worse than take John
son, Lowden or Wood. All the discus
sion tonight of the principal balloting
centers around .these three names, but
the dark horse names are too many to
Be recorded. . - .
Friday To Tell Story?
If any set of practical politicians had
agreed among themselves to put the
convention into a deadlock for their
own purposes, it is doubtful if they
could have done better than the con
vention itself is threatening to do.
mree ballots and possibly four by
Huirsday night, is a prediction beihe
treely made, coupled with the further
Prediction of final, balloting on Friday.
The plan looks placid enough, but it
' not without its possibilities of fire
wrks. It is realized on all sides that
ie forces of neither Johnson, Lowdeh
,r Wood will give up the ' struggle
without a battle. The fight upon the
Platform planks, particularly that on
league of nations, continues to
Promise a test of strength on the va
"ous elements and renewed predictions

Jcceeds in framing a platform accept

Washington! June 6The action ,of

resolution . before . , the -; bonus ""was
brought up" In the senate has brought
out ill bold relief the ' hypocrisy be
hind the action of the republican
leaders. v v - - :. .' ...... . ...... , .
It remains to be seen "whether this
very ' transparent i.irick will fool the
soldiers who, have been watching the
various maneuvers In congress con
nected with the eoldler legislation.
" Three measures pending in the sen
ate probably had more influence than
anything else in bringing' about ad
Journment. These were the bonus
bill. , the bill for. government .regula
tion of "the meat packing industry; and
the resolution to make public income
and ' excess - profits- tax returns for
the past three, years in an effort, to
disclose the big profiteers of the coun-
, .There, were, .other important . meas
ures pending, but these three have em
barrassed the ' republican leadeYs more
than, any- others. ; The soldiers have
been clamoring for the bonus, many
consumers': organizations as well, as
the farmers have been - urging - action
on the packers bill, while pressure
from all sections of the country for
showing up'the profiteers have been
insistent. . , . ;
Senator Lodge and his associates who
have been directing the -course of con
gress felt the ' pressure from all these
elements ' and the " adjournment plan
won increasing support as the pressure
for. action' grew-stronger. The- house
was anxious- to' wash; its hands' of the
bonus agitation. - . Jt passed the buck ;
to the senate." ."-": ';-
r When the u caucus V of house, republi
cans If our weeks ago : decided to post
pone consideration of the bonus bill in
the'- house 'until the last few .days - of
the session " their ; game became clear.
It was practically certain at that time
that adjournment .would be taken be
fore the Chicago convention" and that
no action on' a measure of. this mag
nitude could be expected in' the senate
without1 prolonged 'debate". " ' " " '
The house steering committee which
engineered Tthis scheme evidently ret
gards the ex-service men, as easily de
ceived. Many of the republicans, pri
vately expressed the hope - that the bill
would be- defeated , by democratic votes
and they "would theli have the demo
crats "in a hole" in the fall , election.;
But the latter were determined not to
have to bear the responsibility for de

Chicago, June 6. Wth the conven

complete v the ' republican ; 'platform

night on' the more troublesome" of' the
planks remaihing to. be fashioned. r.
One of - these' wa, the-declaratitin on
the. treaty of- Vereailles and the league
of - nations, a subject of long standing
disagreement - and ' bitter controversy.
Another- dealt -with the industrial re
lations, bringing into contrast widely
diverse schools of economic thought.
-iA' third related to Mexico, always a
topic, of. debate, and ; now somewhat
complicated . by . recent developments
south of. the Rio Grande. . .. . -
y Qn, all of these, entire harmony " was
predicted - by all : the , party leader, al
though most .of. them conceded : that!

have , to., be fought out before there
could be an agreement. , , , ,

- With the belated arrival from Wash
ington of severalsenators, representing
extremes of republican opinion on the
treaty, the Jons senate fight "over the
league of nations virtually was trans
ferred to the conference rooms here.; v

ervatlonlsts of the senate are prepared
for a hard ' battle on the treaty plank;
Senator Borah - of Idaho, a leader of
irreconcllables. arrived late In the day
with a plank which will have the back
ing of the Johnson forces. - J '
fThe mud; reservatlonists held numer-
ous conferences 'and prepared to draft
a plank for submission to Ogden Mills,
chairman of the committee on policies
and platforms. '' . .
''We -will submit our : plank to the i
resolutions committee," ' said Senator
Borah,., "and. if we do not see it ln the
platform we will offer it - in the conven- I
tlon." -.. - '-' ' --:.;' ., . .-.-' . '-
Senator' Borah was not ready to make
the Johnson-Borah plank public, but
said it would be presented to the reso
lutions committee.
. It was learned- that the . reservation
Ists s plank - would ' demand a construc
tive policy for ratification of the Ver
sailles treaty ;with protective reserva
tions and an endorsement of ' the" stand
of - senators who voted for the Lodge
reservation.' Senator Ijoage. who ar

encountered in bringing an agreement.

tion unless Mexico mended its way, ran
tlon unless "Mexico mended its ways ran
gested that It might"; be ; modified to
omit the reference to possible military
interference by this government in the
southern republic. .
In that case the plank -would declare
that recognition .of the, new regime5 in
Mexico' City, should be withheld until
certain guarantees had - been made.
There also would be an attack on Pres

eral statement on the necessity of pro
