Judge filler, of New York, pre-1
sented Hoover’s name in a speech
that was a masterpiece of logical ar
guments. He asked for Hoover’s
nomination on the ground of his
proven ability as an administrator
and statesman and emphasized the
fact that of all the candidates be
fore the convention Hoover would
be the surest of election if nominat
ed. When Miller was introduced by
Lodge and before he began speaking
he received a five-rhinute ovation, the

Visitor* for Hoover.
The Hoover demonstration was the
most significant event of the day
• for this reason: The visitors tickets
. are for the most part distributed by
the national committeemen to their
friends and not one of the commit
teemen is a friend of Hoover or
wanted to see him nominated. The
, only ticket which the Hoover mana
gers had were twenty which they
purchase from the local committee
for one hundred dollars apiece. And
yet thousands of men and women in
every part of the galleries cheered
. until they were hoarse and waved
flags for Hoover. Hoover’s name
was more enthusiastically responded
to by the galleries than that of any
other candidate. And yet he was
the only candidate for whom the
galleries had not been more or less
packed.
If on the fourth ballot the 14,000
visitors, as well as the 984 delegates,
had voted, the Republicans would
have had a candidate for president.
His name would have been Herbert
• Hoover., And the Republican nomi
nation for the presidency would not
■ today have been on the auction block
for sale to the highest bidder.
That it was on the auction block
and that the most shameless methods
were being used both by the steel
t and banking interests backing-Wood
- and the machine politicians backing
Lowden are facts so well known to
everybody connected with the con
3 vention that nobody takes the trou
r ble to deny them.

WOMEN ABLE TO
STICK OUT PACE
™ . I
Establish Their Place in
National Politics at
Chicago
BY MABEL ABBOTT
CHICAGO, June 12—Nominating
a republican candidate for president
on a hot day in Chi
cago is a sweaty,
grimy, wild-eyed
job. The first re
publican national
conven ti o n in
which more than
one or two women
have participated
last night had
broken the record
for some years
back in the num
ber of ballots ta
ken and held the
possibility of a
bitter struggle or
even a deadlock. It
J
MAB&L ABBOTT
began as tamely and perfunctorily
as it has done everything else. But ;
before it adjourned it was a howling
mob of hungry, thirsty, excited fe
verish men and women, hardly wil
ling to stop even after nearly ten
hours of uninterrupted work. But
the women stuck as determinedly as
the men and they were on the job
again this morning, a little pale per-,
haps, but, with their wilted gowns
changed for fresh ones, and their in
terest unabated.
The Coliseum was a place of tor
ment yesterday. The temperature
was like a Turkish bath, the atmos
phere was like a steerage and the
noise was like a Day of Judgment.
Most of the men shed their coats
early in the day and many of them
their collars shortly afterward. The
women had neither coats nor collars
to shed, but their chiffons stuck to
their arms and their noses grew shiny
as the hours of din and heat wore on.
But later in the afternoon when the
voice of the secretary could hardly
be heard shouting the votes a woman,
Mrs. Marshall Priest, of Huntington,
Tennessee, rose hatless and steady
in her square necked blue gown and
made the ballot of her state heard. It
then stood 19 for Wood, 1 for Low
den.
Women seconded nearly every nom
ination that was made. Unanimous
comment was that one of the women
made the best speech of the conven
tion and another made the shortest.
The first was Mrs. Corrinne Roosevelt
Robinson, sister of Theodore Roose
velt, in behalf of Leonard Wood, and
the second was Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns
of Chicago, chairman of the women’s
division of the Illinois Republican
committee and a Lowden supporter.
Another thing was noticeable:
Many of the men who made second
ing speeches ran over the time allow
ed and had to be cut short or given
an extra minute or two. Not one wo
man exceeded her time and most of
them finished well inside it. So as
the 1920 Republican National con
vention goes down into history, what
ever candidate it may select and
whatever may be thought of the ef
fect of the first small invasion of
women into its ranks, there is one
thing that will be established—women
can keep up the pace.
