COTTON
NEW YORK, June 9.—There was a re
newal of liquidation and selling at the open
ing of the cotton market today owing to the
continued good weather in the south and
lower Liverpool cables. First prices were
18 to 22 points lower with July selling at
38.20 and October at 35.40, but there was
trade buying at the decline and also some
covering on the firm opening of the stock
market. Prices stiffened up several points
in consequence, October advancing to 35.57.
The market weakened late in the morning
under increased Wall street selling, which
seemed to be based partly upon depression
in the wool trade. Prices made new, low
ground for the movement, selling off 30 to
40 points net lower, but rallied a few points
after the publication cf the weekly weather
report.
The larger exports promoted covering
during the early afternoon, but after arllies
of 20 or 30 points the market became quiet
with prices rupling from 15 to 22 points net
lower after 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June 9.—Poor cables
and continued favorable weather over the ,
belt caused moderate selling of cotton today |
and in the first hour of trading prices fell
17 to 20 points, July dropping off to 38.35
and October to 35.30. The market was held
steady by complaints of weevil damage in
the southwest and by expectations of un
favorable items in the weekly crop reports
from the government.
The decline continued until October stood
at 35.10 c and the trading months were 30
to 38 points under the close of yesterday.
After the reading of the weekly crop reports,
the market hesitated for a while, but finally
commenced to rise on the unfavorable items
in tile returns from several states, and late
in tiie morning stood only 3 to 14 points
under the final prices of yesterday.
Price changes became narrower and trad
ing was mainly by professionals. Toward
the close prices were 8 to 12 points under
yesterday’s last quotations.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, June 9. —Cotton was
moderately depressed today by the favorable
weather over the belt and the moderately
bearish import of the weekly crop and
weathe rreturns from the government. At
the same time sellers plainly were inclined
to use caution because of the way the
official reports confirmed private accounts
of the prevalence of the boll weevil. The
opening was lower on poor cables and the
decline was widened by the dry weather
map and expectations of favorable weekly
returns. At the lowest of the session prices
were 30 to 38 points under the close of yes
terday.
After the weekly reports were out, early
sellers tried to get their contracts back, and
their efforts caused small recoveries, the
market at one time being within 3 to 14
points of yesterday's close. Last prices were
net declines of 8 to 16 points. July traded
at 38.22 c at its lowest and at 38.48 at its
best.
The outlook 1s for another good weather
map in the morning, and this may give the
short side the advantage, in the early trad
ing at least.

PHILANDER KNOX IS
“DARK HORSE” OF
• REAL “OLD GUARD”
(Continued from Page 1.)
fluential bankers and captains of in
dustry are conferring. Friends of
Johnson are doing all they can in
an effort to convince big business
that there is notning to fear from
an administration by Hiram Johnson.
Only a concrete speech on the sub
ject to the convention would help
matters in that direction and it is
hardly likely that the California sen
ator would risk such an appeal.
Yet the friendliness of certain
members of the “old guard” to John
son must not be misconstrued. They
are beating Wood with Lowden, they
will beat Lowden with Johnson, then
they will let the convention elimi
nate Johnson and when the Cali
fornia senator is honestly convinced
that a genuine effort has been made
by the leaders to nominate him, the
expectation of those leaders is that
he will play ball with them in the
selection of a compromise candidate.
If he doesn’t play ball, they will
go ahead without him and nominate
their own man anyway. For this con
vention is in the hands of Senator
Penrose. Senator Watson, Senator
Moses, Senator Lodge, former Senator
Crane. Newcomers like Will Hays
and Tobias Hert on the one hand
and supposed intruders like Frank
Hitchcock on the other hand have
been struggling for control only to
have the bone snatched away by the
veteran old leaders.
The new “old guard” has been dis
placed by the real “old guard,” who
are wisely permitting the big three
—Lowden, Wood and Johnson —to
grind each other to pieces so that
the veteran politicians can select the
next Republican nominee and pos
sibly the next president of the United
States. At the present writing it
looks as if General Wood will show
splendid strength on the first two
or thr£e ballots, will then begin to
break as Lowden takes the lead,
and then Johnson will make a final
effort after which the nomination
of Governor Sproul or Senator Knox
or any other member of the dark
horse coterie will J>e in order.
Managers Fight for Control
Two rival sets of managers are
really fighting for control of the next
Republican campaign and it is not al
togeher pertinent who the nominee
shall be so long as control is as
sured the victorious group.
Thus does the struggle between
the Lowden and the Wood mana
gers overshadow everything else.
Former Postmaster General Hitch
cock and his lieutenants are bat
tling ostensibly in behalf of Leon
ard Wood and Tobias Hert, of Ken
tucky, is pushing things all he
can for Lowden, but each manager
knows that if neither Wood nor
Lowden is nominated, the manuevers
by which the dark horse named
must be such as to assure a say in
the management of that nominee’s
campaign.
Behind the scenes conferences ga
lore and whispered messages from
group to group intensifies the ex
citement as the truth stares every
contender in the face, namely that
not one of the k men whose names
have been mentioned for the presi
dency can look forward to the
balloting with any degree of confi
dence.
Fight on !■ eague
Nay, the fights that are ahead
may tear the managers further asun
der. Senator Borah is determined to
make a fight before the convention
on the League of Nations. Some of
his friends are openly quoting the
Idaho senator as predicting an in
dependent ticket it the Republican
party insists on favoring the rati
fication of the peace treaty with res
ervations. Nobody says that Borah
will lead it or that Hiram Johnson
will sanction it for these two men
have not definitely made known their
intentions. But the shrewd leaders
are beginning really to fear that
the anti-treaty and anti-league sen
timent will find an outlet of some
kind in a new party. Senator IVfodill
McCormack hints at it. Wil Dam
Randolph Hearst plans it. William
Jennings Bryan hopes for it.
Nevertheless the senatorial group
and the older statesmen who make
up the resolutions committee which
is to draft the platform have un
flinchingly taken their stand with
Senator Lodge in favor of the peace
treaty “with reservations.” It is a
first defeat for Senator Johnson and
probably will be further accentuated
when the convention turns down
Senator Borah’s plea for a plank
against (;he treaty and league in
any form.
Tendency to Ignore Johnson
Notwithstanding the enthusiastic
demonstrations for Johnson and the
stand which a dozen Republican
senators have taken against the
treaty and league with or without
reservations, the determination of
the men in control of this conven
tion —namely the Wood and Low
den managers—is to brush John
son’s viewpoint aside as inconse
quential. They do not want to give
the Democrats the clear-cut issue on
the «treaty which President Wilson
has sought.
Indeed, there is a growing ten
dency to ignore the California sen
ator in many quarters here. His
declaration that he wouldn’t bolt is
accepted in good faith and further
ahead than the present job of
nominating a candidate, the afore
said leaders do not seem to be look
ing. Again and again, delegates are
heard expressing the belief that
Johnson is and would be a wonder
. ful vote-getter but the eastern Re
i publicans are almost a unit against
I him, so that only a miracle can
! bring about his nomination.
| That miracle may come in the form
l of a death struggle between the
, Lowden and Johnson managers, who
• in certain contingencies might make
| the effort to nominate Johnson, feel-
I ing sure that the California sena
j tor would lend him his strength
■ and support for a dark horse when
j once lie were convinced that every
i effort to nominate him had been ex
- hausted.
Wood’s Chances Setter
j Only those behind-the-curtain
transactions and negotiations count
before the balloting. Like generals
in a military setting, the greatest
force will not be marshaled on the
first advance But as the second
and third ballots are taken, surpris
ing strength unquestionably will be
shown by Leonard Wood.
The strategy of his commanders
is to invade the Johnson strongholds
right off the bat, and the raid on
the Johnson delegates is expected to
bring Leonard Wood’s total up to
its maximum. Then the tug of war
between Lot,den and Wood wli’ be
on, with the chances for the gen-
eral somewhat better at this writing
than those of the Illinois governor.
But the elimination of Johnson,
Lowden and W’ood is only a matter
of a few ballots. Behind the scenes
a compromise candidate will be named
Governors Coolidge, of Massachu
setts; Sproul, of Pennsylvania;
mer Governor Hughes, of New York;
Philander C. Knox and Herbert C.
Hoover may be drafted the moment
the powers struggling for control
make up their minds they must select
some one besides Johnson, Wood or
Lowden. s
Cheer Keynote Speech
Reading of the keynote speech
brought much cheering from the con
vention. Senator Lodge did much’
better as temporary chairman than
did Senator Harding sour 1 years ago.
The Massachusetts senator was bit
terly anti-Wilson, something which
the delegates thoroughly enjoyed.
Every reference to the covenant as
Wilson presented it, every sarcastic
reference to the president’s negotia
tions abroad, was greeted with ap
plause.
This convention is more bitterly
anti-Wilson than the convention four
years ago. Senator Lodge’s appeal
to the people to overthrow the Wil
son dynasty was construed as mean
ings not only the expulsion of Mr.
Wilson from power, but his pros
pective heir, William Gibbs McAdoo.
It was a well-managed opening
with plenty of enthusiasm, plenty
of singing or patriotic airs, plenty
of jammed aisles and cro-wded
thoroughfares, plenty of tormenting
pickets outside inquiring by yellow
banners when the Republican party
will furnish the thirty-sixth state to
ratify the federal suffrage amend
ment, plenty of predictions of bat
tle royal on the morrow as the re
ports are received from the commit
tees on platform and credentials and
plenty of confusion as a new and
self-chosen “Old Guard” carries on
a fight within the ranks while the
older statesmen hnd the convention
crowd try feverishly to penetrate
the whole managerial business.
SENATOR LODGE IS
CHOSEN PERMANENT
CONVENTION HEAD
(Continued from Page 1)
candidate managers, knowing that
today’s proceedings were largely per
functory, were in no hurry in com
ing and remained downtown round
ing up forces and strengthening their
lines.
Many of the important figures of
the convention, too, were engaged in
the work of the resolution commit
tee framing the platforjn.
At 11:15 Chairman Lodge arrived
on the platform with National Chair
man Hays. A song leader tried to
get the audience to sing the “Long,
Long Trail,” but had a hard time
getting out the voices
The song leader stripped off his
coat, and rolling up his sleeves, call
ed for more pep. He got a little
beter response and then took a hand
at three cheers for the Republican
party. He had better luck with that
than he did with the song.
Chairman Lodge stepped out to the
speaker’s space at 11:20 o’clock and
he got three cheers also with ,a
tiger. Dr. John Timothy Stone was
today’s chaplain. The convention
stood -while he offered prayer.
In closing Bishop Stone led the
great audience in the Lord’s Prayer.
The song leader was immediately on
the job again and led the audience in
the “Star Spangled Banner.”
They brought out a stout oak ta
ble for Chairman Lodge to whack
his gavel on. He called for the re
port of the credentials committee.
Chairman Duffield, of New Jersey,
came to the platform to present it.
Report Adopted
The report recommended the
changes decided upon at last night’s
meeting of the committee. Mr. Duf
field moved- the adoption of the re
port. Robert R. Church, Memphis
negro, who had been unseated by
the credentials committee, said he
would not ask the convention to
consider a minority report.
“I know I am entitled to sit,” con
tinued Church, “but I shall take my
fight back to Tennessee.”
The report of the credentials com
mittee was adopted without dissent
and the convention next heard the
report from the committee on per
manent organization. It was pre
sented by Governor Morrow, of
Kentucky, its chairman. As agreed
upon, it recommend that the tem
porary organization be made per
manent. The convention liked the
idea of saving time escaping another
keynote speech and adopted the mo
tion with chers. Senator Lodge got
another demonstration when he step
ped forward, this time as permanent
chairman of the convention.
“The best way to show my grati
tude to the convention for its ac
tion,” said Senator Lodge, “will be
t-o tell you there will be no speech
by the permanent chairman.”
The convntion acknowledged its
appreciation of that with more ap
plause.
Depew Speaks
Chairman Lodge announced he
would enforce the rule limiting
speakers to five minutes and one
speech on the same subject on the
same day, upless the convention or
dered otherwise. The resolution
committee sent word it could only
report progress and was not ready
to present a platform yet.
Chairman Lodge asked the conven
tion what it wanted to do in the
mean-while and there were cries of
“Depew, Depew” from the floor.
Mrs. Hume was on the platform
waiting to speak and some had
thought the honor of first addressing
the convention would go to a wom
an. Mr. Depew walked out on the
speaker’s platform to an accompani
ment of applause and cheers.
“He needs no introduction to a Re
publican convention,” said Senator
‘ Lodge, introducing him.
| “Senator Lodge says “I!m an old
I man, but he’s mistaken,” said Mr.
! Depew.
I “A man down south who heard me
j speak recently wrote me a letter and
I said he heard I claimed to be only
i eighty-six. 'All I have to say is,’ he
i wrote, ’is that you are either a mir-
I acle or a damned liar.’ ”
| Paul Howard, of Cleveland, 0.. pre
| sented the report of the committee
;on rules and order of business. The
I report recommended seating delegate
I representation in the national con
i vention at four delegates-at-large
from each state, one delegate from
each congressional and one additional
delegate for each district in which
not less than 7,000 votes have been
cast for a Republican candidate at
the last election.
The only new material in the
rules, Chairman Howland announc
ed, was an increase in the executive
committee of the Republican nation
al committee from ten to fifteen

(Continued from Fage 1)
Park, urged a dozen planks for legis
lation to improve the conditions of
women in industry, to reduce the
cost of living, and for further fed
eral supervision of public morals.
Mrs. George Gelhart, Missouri, ad
vocating an anti-high cost of living
plank, suggested federal regulation
of the marketing and distribution of
food and federal appropriations for
training in home economics.
Suffrage Flank
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, of the
National American Woman Suffrage
association, presented a plank pledg
ing the party to exert its best ef
forts to obtain ratification of the
suffrage amendment by the thirty
sixth state in time to let all the
women vote next November. She told
the committee, among other things,
that ratification means that doubtful
states like Missouri and Indiana will
be in the Republican column.
Anti-suffragists, contending for a
state’s right plank, nearly broke up
the hearing.
Miss Mary Kilbreth, of New York,
said suffrage candidates always went
to defeat in elections and declared
it inexpedient for the Republican
party to take chances on the eve of
a national contest.
Enforcement of the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments in the south
with respect to negro voting was
demanded by Andrew B. Humphreys,
New York, and Thomas Birming
ham.
Thomas M. McCarter, New Jersey,
and George Wharton Pepper, Phila
delphia, said the party should record
itself as favoring aid for public utili
ties, suffering from straitened credit.
Thomas E. Campbell, of Arizona,
urged the need of reclamation in the
west. E. J. Adams, Oregon, said the
government should pay its share of
the cost of road-building in forest
reserves.
members and a new assistant secre
tary.
“Without saying so in expressed
terms,” he said, “this is to take care
of our reinforcements to the Repub
lican party—the ladies.”
The understanding is that the ad
ditional places will all go to women.
The convention speedily adopted
the report.
Fling at Wilson
Mr. Depew said the country need
ed experienced statesmanship to deal
with the problems frowing out of
the war. declaring the Republican
party had handled it “with ability”
after the Civil war, and has proved
its quality to do so.
Mr. Depew took successive flings
at President Wilson’s trip to Eu
ropes to the great amusement of the
delegates.
Other presidents, he said, had dealt
with foreign nations, but had se
lected the best brains and men in
the country to go and do it.
"When Mr. Wilson went to Europe
and the politicians and diplomats
sai dto him ‘What do you want?’ he
replied, ‘I want a League of Na
tions, a heaven on earth, of which
I shall be the recording angel.’ ”
The convention gos a good laugh
out of that.
“The League of Nations is h§re'
and there is no man who can add
one word to the description which
was given by our chairman, Senator
Lodge. As I travel about man after
man comes to me and says ‘I always
have been a Democrat, but Mr. Wil
son has taken away every principle
of the Democratic /party and I want
you to nominate /a good man and
win.’
“I think during the summer mil
lions of these Democrats will vote
ur ticket.”
At that point Mr. Depew couldn't
resist the temptatiori to tell a storv.
Then, in a more serious vein. Mr.
Depew, speaking as a veteran of
65 years on the Republican plat
form, prophesied that out of the
convention would come wisdom and
enthusiasm, and that the nation
“standing for the principles of
Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt,
would take its place as a leader for
the peace and unity and civiliza
tion of mankind.
There were calls for various speak
ers after Mr. Depew had retired
and amid a whirlwind of cheering
Mr. Lodge introduced Mrs. Margaret
Hill McCarter, of Kansas, who got
rounds of cheers.
Moving Picture Taken
The convention stood while Mrs.
McCarter took the platform. She
wore a close-fitting turban with a
neck piece of monkey fur and a
taupe gown.
Mrs. McCarter was in good voice
and evidently reached the farthest
part of the hall.
"The women of America,’ she
said, “are organized and trained and
ready for the duties of citizenship.”
Mrs. McCarter’s speech was short,
but snappy and the audience liked
it. The movie men demanded a shot
at the first woman speaker on a
■ Republican platform.
“Please be quiet,” asked Senator,
Lodge, “while we endure one of
the afflictions of public life—being
taken for the movies.”
While the movie men were getting
their! “shot” a song leader distract
ed the attention of the convention
in singing the Battle Hymn of the
Republic.” The audience entered into
the spirit of the thing and sang
the chorus, “Glory, Glory Hallelu
yah.” With the accent on the “yah.”
Delegates to the Republican na
tional convention assembled at the
Coliseum today for the second Ses
sion with the’ir views as to who shall
lead the party at the polls next No-
I vember still a mystery, even so

i There were some loud cries for

Atlanta Gets Great
Ad Club Meeting
BY O. B. KEELER
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 9.
First ballot: Atlanta, 63; Milwaukee,
49.
Second ballot - Atlanta, 112; M’l
waukee on the band wagon.
So it’s Atlanta in 1921 sure enough,
as the Lowenstein classic has So
often declared tc the stirring meas
ures of “The Battle Hymn of ’he
Republic.”
Des Moines, touted as the dark
horse of the convention, ran away
four miles, going to the post, ar.d
was gracefully extracted from the
situation. Atlanta has gone and got
it again, the biggest and most im
portant conventioa of its history
thus far; and there is nothing to
mar the joy of the occasion, if only
Dave Webb and Dick Smith, with
the two Freds, Houser and Hamlin,
and G. Arthur Howell and Charlies
Chalmers, Atkinson, Hohenstein et
al., and several other wheelhorses
survive the combat.
These noble heroes are struggling
back toward consciousness this
morning through a pink haze of con
valescence, while a number of others,
more or less prominent in the fray,
are to be numbered distinctly as
casualties.
The Wednesday morning general
session of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World may not be so
heavily patronized as the two pre
vious matutinal gatherings. But
there is a marked increase in the
ice business; and the arms of Mor
pheus probably are bulging with
earnest sleepers, long past due.
Details of the second battle of
Vincennes can be summarized brief
ly, but we stood first on one ear and
then on the other until 11:45 o’clock
last night before Fred Hamlin wob
bled Into the expectant throng in
the lobby of the Claypool hotel. Fred
looked white and very tired, but he
wore a grin.
Welkin Splits Like Locust
“It’s all right fellows,” he said.
“We got it. First ballot—63 to 49.”
Whereupon the well-known wel
kin split up the back like a locust.
One long-drawn roar of delight rat
tled like a burst of shrapnel against
the highly ornate ceiling and went
crackling down the corridors. Then
Dave Webb fell off a table and the
orchestra played “Dixie.”
You know how a bunch of south
erners can yell for “Dixie” any old
time. Well, you ought to have heard
them then.
