FORCED A STRONG - PLATFORM ONG. 0.P ¥ \ Republicans Expected to Give ‘‘Americanism and Prepared- ness” Prominent Place. LODGE AS CHIEF FRAMER Declaration May Be Short, Un- ' less Hobbies Are Allowed to Creep In. oe NEW YORK, June 5.—A dispatch to the New York Times from Chicago says: “Theodore Roosovelt has won his fight to make the Republican party take a Strong position on the issues he has set forth so strongly for the last year and a half—Americanism and preparedness,’ he calls them. The record the Repub- lican party made in Congress last win- ter when it voted against the tabling of the Gore resolution and otherwise evinced a willingness to placate the German vote at any cost, is to be wiped out. The platform will go the limit in the way he has been pointing out. “This much can be stated without un- EMLEY’ 6th & Franklin Tuesday Specials 3 Meat Specials that will open your eyes; cut from finest corn- LHe has a draft, and so have other dele- | Bates. There will be no attempt to ‘am dertaking to give the language or the specific declaration of a platform not yet drawn. It can be asserted with cer- tainty because of the announced views and intentions of the men who will draw it. | Pacificists in’ Minority. “There are among the prospective members of the Resolutions Committee a few who favor making a mild and comfortable declaration that will not »f- fend pacificists and pro-Germans. But even those who are in’an almost in- visible minority favor a declaration which, in ordinary circumstances, would te strong enough for anybody and which is insufficient this year, 6nly because the pro-German pacificist activities make i* necessary to take a definite stand. “Nobody, so far as can ‘be learned, dreams for a moment of advocating a platform that will yield the American right to travel on the high seas with adequate protection or the American right to sell anything, munitions in- cluded, to belligerent countries. “Senator Lodge is expected to be the chairman of the Resolutions Committee. He is said to have the platform in his pocket. This is not a correct statement. any particular draft down the throats of the other members of the committee. The committee will be made up, in the main, of strong men, with individuali- ties and personal force, and the major- ity of them are entirely agreed on the way to treat the two main issues of the time. “Senator Lodge probably will have more to say about shaping the platform than anyone else. His views are iden- tical with Roosevelt's. “There is a movement on foot to make the platform short and simple, with few planks and little verbiage. Probably it vill not succeed. There are too many people with petitions and unobjection- able hobbies, and the moment one-of them gets the committee to put his dar- ling in the platform, all thé others vill demand that theirs go in.” Pennsylvania Lines Low Rate Summer Tours Eastern Points Direct routes or.choice of many varia- ble routes, New York, Boston, Atlantic . 4 a on «aS a9 14 .. & i » hi, ee ee A ALTE EE LL LOL LICE LE ACE AA OE LLL OEE EON I ag RNR LOS LE TO EA EE 991 DELEGATES IN 16TH REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Other G. O. Nearly Half of Them Are Lawyers While Every Fighth Man Is a Banker—Facts About P. Meetings. The sixteert. Republican convention, whick will meet in the Chi- cago Coliseum Wednesday, will prob- ably have 991 voting delegates, and 496 votes will constitute the majority nec- essary to name candidates for Presi- dent and Vice President. Six delegates from Hawali, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands will attend the convention and. will probably have votes there, as the National U"om- mittee has made a favorable report on their application. The delegates from these territorial possessions had _ the privilege of voting in the 1912 conven- tion. The convention itself must final- ly decide whether they shall have votes or not. The District of Columbia has two votes, and the Territory of Alaska two. If the six territorial delegates should not get the privilege of voting, the to- tal number of votes in the convention will be 98, and the number required to nominate, 493. Half of Delegates Lawyers. Of the delegates elected from the dif- ferent states, 125 are bankers, 108 man- ufacturers, 484 lawyers and 9%4 mer- chants. This means that nearly every other man in the convention is a law- yer, while one man in every eight is a banker, and one in every nine is a manufacturer. Thirty-seven delegates have as their chief interest the production of coal, Ore or oil. Fifty-two are editors or pub- lishers of newspapers, and 58 are classed as farmers, this designation including ranchmen and stock breeders. There are 15 physicians, four hotel propritors and one undertaker. national ; nated, with John A. Logan of Iilinois és the vice presidential candidate. Blaine was defeated for the presidency by Gro- ver Cleveland. In 1888, at Chicago, Blaine, for some reason never fully ex- p:ained, chose not to be an active candi- date. It has always been the belief ‘of Blaine’s admirers that he could have been nominated and elected in that year, if he had made a proper effort. Benja- min Harrison was the nomineé and was elected. At the convention of 1892, neld in Minneapolis, Federal officeholders forced the renomination of Harrison, ‘though Blaine decided at the last mo- ment to be a eandidate, and resigned suddenly. from the President’s Cabinet. Blaine’s defeat wn the first ballot at Minneapolis marked his downfall. Pres- ident Harrison was defeated for re-elec- tion, Cleveland being again elected. In Cleveland’s second term financial depression overspread the country and the free silver movement became strong in both national parties. The Republic- an convention of 1896 met in St. Louis and the leading candidates wére Wil- liam McKinley and Thomas B. Reed. The free silver forces made an attempt to place a 16-to-1 declaration in the platform, and when this was voted down and a gold plank adovoted, 34 delegates, headed by United States Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado, bolted the con- vention. McKinley was the nominee. The Chicago Democratic convention, the “cross of gold’’ speech, the Bryan candidacy and the election of McKinley followed. McKinley was renominated at Philadelphia in 1900, with ‘Theodore Roosevelt, then Governor of New York, for Vice President. McKinley and Roose- OWN 1S LABILITY ; Kirkwood Lot They Believéd Had Passed to Another, Heavily Burdened With Taxes. Two middle-aged women, Misses Ot- tilia and Theresia Lowag of 3@9A Re- becca avenue, made the unpleagant dis- covery in the Clayton Circuit Court this morning that they. own a lot on Lee avenue, in Kirkwood, which, instead of being an asset, is a Nability, because of an accumulation of tax suits against it. Judge Wurdeman recently gave judg. ment to the city of: Kirkwood for $33.81 against the property. After telling Judge Wurdeman that they had ‘been “béaten out of their life savings’’ by Herman J. Krembs, a neighborhood banker and. real estate agent, who killed himself in March last year, the two women said they had deeded the lot to Krembs. The deed had not been recorded and the proper- ty is in their names. They said that their mother had been a cliént of Krembs for 3 years when she died, 14 years ago, leaving to them property valued at $3500. Krembs in- duced them to convért it into cash and let him invest the money in deeds of trust for them. In the negotiations the title to the Lee avenue lot passed to them. The ground is described as prac- tically valueless. Sometime betweén 1906 and 1909, the sisters said, Krembs told them it was a waste of time to bother with deeds of trust. Then they loaned him $2600 on his personal notes. He paid the inter- est,. but the principal is unpaid.

As the Republican party has been out of power in the national Government for four years, | the number of Federal office holders the new organization, which received the name “Republican” at a convention in Jackson, Mich., July 6, 1854. Conven- tions in other states, soon afterward, ratified the name, and a national meet- ing was called at Pittsburg, Feb. 2, 1856. This meeting issued an address to the people, and called a nominating con- ventiongto meet in Philadelphia, June 17. At the Philadelphia gathering, John C.

Roberto Todd, Francisco Parro Capo; Philip- pines, Newton W. Gilbert And Judge Crossfield. The Progressive party convention is to be held in Chicago simultane- ously with the Republican conven- tion, with a view to a possible re- union of this dissenting wing of the Republican party with the regular organization, from which it was sev- ered four years ago this month. At the Chicago convention of June, 1912, Roosevelt charged that the Taft leaders stole 78 seats which should have been occupied by his del- egates. This was done through the Credentials Committee, which seated Taft delegates to that number, in contested districts. Because of this charge, most of the Roosevelt men bolted the convention, 344 delegates withholding their votes. Of the 728 votes cast, President Taft got 561, or 21 more than a majority of the total of 1078 delegates. Roosevelt got 107 votes, La Follette 41, Cummins 17, and Hughes 2. In the election of November, 1912, Taft carried Utah and Vermont; Roosevelt carried California, Michi- gan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Washington; Woodrow Wilson, Democratic nominee, carried the other States. Party Born in 1854. The Republican party came into be- ing in 1854, as a result of dissatisfaction, in the North, with the action of the Whig national convention of 1852, in indorsing the fugitive slave law. The Free Soil party, which had opposed the extension of slavery, was merged in Dayton of New Jersey for Vice Presi- dent. James Buchanan, the Democratic nominee, was elected president, and in the subsequent four years the growth of anti-slavery feeling in the North, and of the secession idea in the South, led up to ‘the nomination and election of Lincoln in 1860 and to the Civil War. The convention of 1860 was held in Chi- cago, and the war convention of 1864, at which Lincoln was renominated,; with Andrew Johnson as his running mate, was held in Baltimore. Johnson; who succeeded to the presi- dency after the assassination of Lin- colin, broke with his party, and the Chicago convention of 1868 denounced and repudiated. Johnson and nominated Gen. Grant, who was elected, renom- inated at Philadelphia in 1872 and re- elected. In 1876 James G. Blaine of Maine first appeared'as a candidate for the prest- dency, and the party ascendancy of this remarkable man, who never became President, continued for 16 years. At the Cincinnati convention of 1876, Blaine failed of the nomination through a sud- den iliness, which caused alarm as to the state of his health, and through at- tacks on his connection with certain railroad corporations. Rutherford B. Hayes, Governor of Ohio, was nominat- ed in Cincinnati. In 1880, in Chicago, a third-term movement for Gen. Grant, and the sudden popularity of James A Garfield of Ohio brought about a situ- tation in which Blaine was.again de- feated, Garfield being nominated and } electéd. Garfield was assassinated early iin his term, and Chester A. Arthur. rep- | resenting the faction headed by the bril- fiant Roscoe Conkling of New York. be- came President. | In 184, at Chicago, Blaine was nomi- President. At Chicago, in 1904, Roosevelt was nominated without opposition, with Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana for Vice President. In 1908, at Chicago, Wil- sonally selected succéssor, was nomi- nated through the votes of Federal of- fice holders. Charles E. Hughes was an active candidate at that time. The Chicago convention of 1912, with its forced nomination of Taft, and with the Roosevelt belt which led to the for- mation of the Progressive party, has al- ready been described..

City and county suits against it, for taxes un- aid since 19%, are claims aggregating more than the lot is worth. Both sisters told a Post-Dispatch re- porter they had little hope of realizing on the Krembs notes for $2600 because of the claims against his estate and the fear of long and involved litigation.
