A Question ol Grave Doubt
(If You Do Not Care What Kind of
Clothes You Buy, Read no Further.)
Wool is high and clothes are dear—yet you
are offered suits at $15.00, say. Now, it may per
haps be done, but it is a question of grave doubt
if clothes worthy of a man’s wear can be made
and put on the market at a profit for that price.
Our clothes for you to see and try on are
STEIN-BLOCH make and the lowest price we
charge is $22.50. Yet the difference in fit, in
style, in workmanship, and in durability, is far
more to you than $7.50.
Will you examine and t r y on ?

HISTORY OF
REPUBLICAN
CONVENTIONS
RECORD OF PAST 56 YEARS
Fifteenth Convention Next
Week
Washington, D. C., June 14. —The
gathering of delegates at Chicago next
Tuesday forms the fifteenth national
convention held by the republican par
ty since its birth in Pittsburg more
than half a century ago.
The first convention was in Philadel
phia in 1856, and Edward D. Morgan
called it to order on June 17. Robert
Emmett ,of New York, was temporary
chairman and Henry S. Lane, of Penn
sylvania, permanent chairman, witn
David Wilmot as head of the commit
tee on resolutions. The platform de
clared against the extension of slavery
into new states and territories, de
manded the admission of Kansas, and
advocated the building of the Union
Pacific railroad. The candidates nomi
nated were John C. Freemont —he de
feating John McLean, of Ohio, on the
first ballot—and William L. Dayton,
of New York. The ticket was beaten
by the democratic ticket nominated at
St. Louis, and headed by Buchanan.
The second, but in point of import
ance, really the first, convention of
the party, was held in Chicago, as
sembling June 13, 1860. The platform
de dared for the preservation of the
inion, denounced the extension of slav
ery, and advocated tariff laws “which
would encourage the development of
he industrial interests of the country."
Abraham Lincoln was nominated for
president on the third ballot and Han
nibal Hamlin, of Maine, was nominated
for vice president on the second bal
lot. This ticket was successful in the
fall, easily beating the divided democ-
racy.
The third republican convention met
in Baltimore on June 7, 1864. The
platform declared for the carrying on
of the war, advocated a constitutional
imendment forever prohibiting slav
ery anywhere in the union, returned
thanks to the federal soldiers, and
indorsed the emancipation proclama
tion. Abraham Lincoln was renomi
nated, receiving all the votes except
those of Missouri, which were cast for
Gen. Grant. Andrew Johnson, of Ten
nessee, was named for vice president.
This ticket was successful at the polls.
The record of republican national
conventions and candidates held since
the close of the civil war is as fol
lows :
Chicago, May 20, 1868—Ulysses S.
Grant of Illinois, and Schuyler Colfax,
of Indiana.
Philadelphia, June 5, 1872—Ulysses
S. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry Wilson
of Massachusetts.
Cincinnati, June 14, 1876—Ruther
ford B. Hayes, of Ohio, and William
A. Wheeler, of New York.
Chicago, June 2, 1880—James A. Gar
field, of Ohio, and Chester A. Arthur,
of New York.
Chicago, June 8, 1884—James G.
Blaine, of Maine, and John A. Logan,
of Illinois.
Chicago, June 19,1888—Benjamin
Harrison, of Indiana, and Levi P.
Morton, of New York.
Minneapolis, June 7, 1892—Benjamin
Harrison, of Indiana, and Whitelaw
Reid, of New York.
St. Louis June 7 1896—William Mc-
Kinley of Ohio and Garrett A. Ho
bart of New Jersey.
Philadelphia, June 19, 1900—William
McKinley, of Ohio, and Theodore
Roosevelt, of New York.
Chicago. June 21, 1904—Theodore
Roosevelt, of New York, and Charles
W. Fairbanks, of Indiana.
Chicago, June 16, 1908—William H.
Taft, of Ohio, and James S. Sherman,
of New York.
The convention next week will be
j the seventh that the republican party
j ha s held in Chicago. Os the republi
j can candidates nominated in that city,
j Lincoln and Garfield were assassinat
ed. Blaine died a disappointed, if
not a heartbroken man. Arthur, who
I succeeded Garfield lived to realize
the full meaning of political ingrati
tude. Harrison, although renominated
at Minneapolis, was defeated. The de
feat of Grant in the convention which
met in Chicago in 1880 was the occas
ion of a bitter feud in the republican
party, and incidentally led to the de
feat of the party four years later. Mr. i
j Roosevelt was nominated in Chicago In '
i 1904, and Mr. Taft in 1908. These two, j
of the seven standard-bearers named !
by the republican party in Chicago !
conventions, are the only ones liv- ;
ing. ;

WANT TAFT
TO GET OUT
OF THE WAY
FOR MAN WITH A CHANCE
Party leaders Know He Can
not Win
Washington, D. C., June 14.—As the
confidence of regular Republican mem
bers of the House grows that the sup
porters of the President at Chicago
will be able to prevent the nomination
of Roosevelt and renominate Taft *f
they see fit, there is a still more pro
nounced growth of the sentiment that
Taft should step aside when it has
been demonstrated that he has full
j control of the convention and permit
the delegates to selct a new man who
will prove a better vote-getter than
the President is likely to be.
Practically without exception the
regular Republicans declare in private
! conversation that the President owes
it to the party to take this course if :t
can possibly be carried out without
danger of Roosevelt gathering in
enough of the Taft delegates to win
when the transfer to a new man is
attempted. It is hard to find a regular
Republican member w'ho will say that
in his judgment the President can
carry the November election. An Ohio
member who has done everything in
his power to aid Taft in securing the
nomination and who is bitterly op
posed to Roosevelt declared that he
believed if Taft was the nominee he
would be the worst beaten man wiio
ever ran for the Presidency as the
candidate of one of the great parties.
“Why,” said the member, “he would
be lucky if he received a hundred
votes in the electoral college.. I
would, it is true, rather go down in
defeat with Taft as our candidate
than win with Roosevelt. But if the
President will withdraw from the con
test for the nomination after he has
demonstrated to the country that
Roosevelt can't get the nomination and
that he himself can have it if he
wants it, the convention can then se
lect a new man with w f hom we might
have a chance of winning the election.
By such a course Taft would show
himself to be a genuinely big man who
placed the good of the party above
his own ambition. Such a course
would win back for him much of the
popularity his mistakes as president
have lost him. In no other way could
he so readily and completely rehab
ilitate his reputation before the coun
try. He ought to know his election is
impossible.”
FORMER SOCIAL STAR
IX POLICE COURT
New York, June 14.—Mrs Katherine
Pierce, known in other days as Mrs.
“Tom” Pierce, the dashing wife of a
Boston millionaire, intrepid horse
woman and leader in the smarter ele
ment of Boston society, appeared in
the Yorkville Court to answer to a
charge of disorderly conduct. W r alter
Carroll, manager of Maxim’s, declared
to Magistrate Corrigan that she had
created a disturbance in his restaur
ant last night, had also kicked through
the window of a taxicab and had used
language more picturesque than ele
gant.
“You hear what the man says,” said
the Magistrate. “Shall I put you under
bonds to leave his place alone, or will
you make a promise not to go there
again?”
I promise,” Mrs. Pierce said, and
she was discharged.
