LAST STAND Os NATIONAL
> MACHINE IN POLITICS, IS
THOMAS W, LAWSON'S VIEW
Boston Man Predicts Victory’ for
Progressives in Struggle
At Chicago
RIDICULES SEN. CRANE
Willing Go-Between of System
. and Powers in Politics, His
* V Appellation
CHICAGO. June 17. —Predicting vic
tory tor the progressives, Thomas W.
Lawson of Boston, today sized up the
national convention as the last stand
of the national machine In politics.
Lawson sarcastically complimented
the Taft steam-roller for its masterful
work, but added that when It struck
the ’ White heat of progressive tires
it will disappear like a straw hat In a
furnace."
"This convention," he declared,
faces one of the gravest situations of
any national convention in our his
tory. It is purely a fight betweeu pop
ular self-government and machine
government. The people are going to
win out or know the reason why.
"This seems to be a hot air age.
The bosses have almost suffocated
the people with It. 1 have never seeu
not air have such sway as It has here.
It is the limit.
"The machine politicians are
knocking down standards at a pretty
lively gait. It is the first time in the
history of the country that those peo
ple who have sneered at our form of
government have had a chance to
say i told you so.’"
I-awsor paid his respects to Sena
tor Murray Crane, whom he is fighting
in Massachusetts, as au "In-betweener
and a pussy foot."
"These situations." he said, "create
the Murray Craues of politics. Crane
Is a willing go-between of the sys
tem and the powers In politics. He
couldn't foresee that the bosses would
go over the fence with the loot and
leave the lieutenants standing out In
the field to be picked ofT by the peo
ple. Crane is a lieutenant, not a
leader. He is a bully good in the
secret service arm of politics ",
TAFT DEFI SHIFTS
FIGHT TO CONVENTION
(Caattaued from I’agp Oar)
pronounces the opening benediction.
Should the Taft men be able, by force
of numbers, to put through their or
ganization a double convention in the
same hall Is certain. Col. Roosevelt
having approved, the Roosevelt lead
ers are ready for a fight even though.
It Involves physical force, and they
will be confronted by a compact fight
ing phalanx from the Taft camp, de
termined that their apparent control
shall, not be overturned.
Many leaders fear bloodshed and
brohW heads ft »h© present situation
is not relieved by compromise. The
Roosevelt men declare the temporary
roll will never be read. The Taft
leaders, through Chairman Victor
Rosewater, of the national committee,
say that it will be read as prepared,
and they say if force is attempted to
prevent the convention proceeding In
an orderly manner that they will call
on the police to eject the "disturbers"
from the hall.
"Just let them try It." was all that
the Roosevelt men would say. The
• etermluation expressed In their de
meanor Indicated that they would not
leave without a fight.
Claims and rumors of desertions
from the Taft camp continued to fill
the air today. Lusty-lunged mega
phone men. wearing darning Roose
velt badges, passed back and forth
through the crowds, crying aloud the
names of men who. they said, had
signed pledges repudiating the presi
dent and declaring for Roosevelt.
Some of these were true. But In
many Instances the claim of desertion
had no sooner been, made than the
Taft leaders were out with a denial.
The big delegation from Kln.V
county. New York, has been the sub
ject of much comment. Timothy
Woodruff In announcing that he had
burned his bridges behind him and
was now In the Roosevelt camp, In
sisted that 16 other delegates would
go ovor with him. To offset this Taft
men displayed signatures of all but
three of this county delegation. Insist
ing that Woodruff meant only a sin
gle vote and that ail of the others
were for Taft.
Letters were produced by the Roose
velt forces late yesterday showing
that five delegates from Georgia and
five from Mississippi, supposed to be
sold for Taft, had signed letters set
ting forth that they would support
Roosevelt.
The Taft margin so far as the con
trol of the convention and the votes
for the renomlnatlon are concerned,
Is uncomfortably close. The defec
tion of a score of delegates would un
doubtedly deadlock the convention.
Even the president’s warmest admir
ers admit that he must be nominated
on the Initial ballot or not at all. The
Roosevelt, Cummins and
camps will vote a sa unit against the
Taft forces on many of the things
that will come up In connection with
ihe temporary organization. And In
order to retain control throughout the
convention the Taft men must hold
the reins from the very start.
Insisting that they had their dele
gates so firmly fixed that only a scat
tering few would desert the Taft
leaders were admittedly worried.
They feared the effect of Col. Rootfe
velt'a personality on wavering dele
gates who wanted to be with the win
ner no matter who he might be.
Whenever the Taft leaders heard of
one of their men passing under the
Roosevelt Influence —and they main
tained a secret service that would
have Scotland Yard proud, a Taft
man close to the particular delegate
was sent to get in touch with him
and And if he was still * all right."
Commenting on the California fight.
Gov. Johnson declared today that
"California will not submit to rob
bery" of any of the fruits of Roose
velt's victory there.
"These two delegates are in the un
speakable category that cannot be rec
ognhed by decent men.” Johnson as
serted "We will not stand for a
orooked temporary roll. That roll
muat be purged of Its fraud before
decent Republicans can participate in
the business of the convention, No
candidate shall be permitted to be
nominated by fraud. The Taft men
openly and brazenly admit the fraud
in California, and with this admission
it is obvious they canuot and do not
represent the Republican party.
"The theft of two delegates selected
by 77,000 majority In a primary which
Taft himself acquiesced was so out
rageous as to focus attention on the
state."
The Taft steam roller late Saturday
evening finished the regular work laid
out for it. winding up the 254 contests
regularly presented, and having se«L
ed a total of 23f> Taft delegates and
19 Roosevelt men. The national com
ndttee, howeevr .did not adjourn per
manently, and. It Is understand that It
may be called together again to un
seat more Roosevelt delegates If the
Taft leaders find they need the places,
and think they can win by taking
them.
The score of the contest hearing
follows:
Total number of contests heard,
254. Taft delegates seated, 236.
Roosevelt delegates seated, 19.

THEATERS
LYCEUM.
The old, old play of sunshine and
tears, the dramatized version of Har
riet Beecher Stow'e’s "Uncle Tom's
Cabin," which helped to plunge a na
tion into civil war. Is presented this
week by Vaughan Glaser and com
pany as the season's closing attrac
tion in the Lyceum theater. Those
accustomed to regard Glaser only ai
the picturesque matinee idol would
be surprised at the demonstration of
his remarkable versatility in playing
the part of Uncle Tom. It is safe to
say that the part was never more
agreeably presented than by Mr.
Glaser to a crowded house Sunday
night. The play never descends to
the ridiculous, as in the case of the
cheap versions which have made the
good old drama the butt of many
jokes in recent years.
Miss Fay Courteney Is cast for the
part of Topsy. the mischievous slave
girl. She prances about fully as care
free as the original Topsy and her
rendition of the part brings roars of
laughter from the audience. She
sang the Missouri Hpun Dawg song,
leading a sure 'nough hound before
the footlights.
The part of Little Eva is played by
Mary Louise Eigholz, a beautiful
child of about seven summers, who
acts and speaks her lines with the
poise and composure of a polished
professional. The audience w-as quick
to respond to the play of emotions,
and, as Little Eva and Uncle Tom
took their sad farew'ell there was a
sea of handkerchiefs, stemming the
tide of tears. There are five acta
With three scenes In the first act, and
the play stretches out to an unusual
length, but throughout it all the aud
ience was seldom quiet. It was either
laughing or plunged in grief, and,
from above, frequently came the gal
lery gods' emphatic hiss. The Glaser
players get all there Is out of "Uncle
Tom’s Cabin."
The various members of the com
pany seem admirably adapted to their,
roles. Charles Carver instills Just the
necessary touch of heroisH In the
role of George Harris, the fugitive.
Frederick Kirby, as Mr. Wilson, the
slave dealer, Is vicious with the whip,
and James Hester, fat and Jolly, as
the shyster lawyer. Marks, furnishes
the necessary comedy part. Reynolds
Williams plays the part of Bt. Claire,
the kindly planter of Vermont, w’ho
buys Uncle Tom from the despicable
Wilson. Edmund Roberts is the
rough-visaged. warmhearted Mr.
Shelby, who always intercefes for
Uncle Tom.
The scenery Is worthy of much fa
vorable comment. There Is the Miss
issippi river scene, the steamer "La
Belle Rivierre" lying at dock. Local
colored players contribute generously
to the success of this act, as atfbut 20
take part. They sing and dance ac
ceptably and the old plantation scene
becomes a reality. The scene in St.
Claire's villa on Lake Pontchartraln,
In the evening, Is alscf beautiful ar.d
Impressive. The play Is well worth
Beelng.
SHERIFF SPOTS PREY
AS THEY RACE WITH CAR
CORUNNA, Mich., June 17.—Samuel
Walker, aged 17, and a youth named
Weatherwax, arrested Saturday night
on a charge of horse stealing, have
made damaging confessions, the po
lice say, and the officers express the
belief that they have broken up the
gang which has stolen a number of
horses it. this vicinity during the past
few months.
Saturday night, when Fred Angus
returned home from the city, he dis
covered that his horse and buggy had
been stolen. He communicated with
the sheriff, and the officer started by
Interurban for Owosso. While on the
way he saw two young men in a buggy
racing with the car, and a close In
spection revealed the Angus outfit.
The arrest soon followed, and the
boys at once started telling on each
other.
They will be held under the special
statute regarding horse stealing.
Windsor Boy Scouts.
Windsor boy Bcouts, first troop, car
ried off first honors In the annual
competition on Belle Isle, Saturday
afternoon. The Board of Commerce
offered two pennants, one to the out
of-town troop getting the most points

The latter prize was captured by the

copal church, Detroit. The Y. M. C.
A. troop won the "first aid to the In
jured" honor, scoring 12 points. The

PRESENT-DAY SENATOR
OLDER THAN PREDECESSOR
Study of Biographies Shatters
Popular Belief Relative to
Solons’ Average Age
It is popularly supposed that young*
er men are being elected to the Unit
ed States senate today than ever be
fore. The constitution requires that a
senator be at least thirty years of
age, nine years a citizen of the United
States and an Inhabitant of the state
from which he is elected. It Is very
seldom that the constitutional age
limit Is ever approached, the average
senator being upward of forty years
of age at the time of his Induction
Into office. With such men as Sena
tor Luke Lea. of Tennessee; Senator
William E. Borah, of Idaho, and Sen
ator Bourne, of Oregon, people,natu
rally suppose that the present senate
is made up of more young men than
ever before. Yet a study of the biog
raphies of the men who have served
In the United States senate from the
beginning of the government down to
the present day, reveals the fact that
the average age of the solon of 1912
is higher than the average age of his
predecessor of a hundred years ago.
The story of the United States sen
ate which best presents the work of
that body is to be found In the new
book, “The American Government."
by Frederick J. llaskin. It was O.
K and by Vice-President Sherman and
his stafT of senate officials No one
w’ho would be well informed on the
law-making machinery of the United
States government can ufford to be
without this book. See coupon oh

CIRCUS HAS REMARKABLE 1
HOLD ON GENERAL PUBLIC
Chicago Clergyman, After See
ing Ringlingh* Show, BoohU
Exhibition in Sermon
Many Instances may be cited to
probe that of all institutions Mie cir
cus has the strongest hold on the uni
versal heart. Os course, It depends
largely upon what circus It is. In
this case reference Is made to Ring
ling Brothers,' which for so % many
years has enjoyed wonderful popular
ity among people of note as well as
the masses.
The esteem in which the truly great
man holds the circus is admirably ex
pressed by Jetikin Lloyd Jones, the
eminent Chicago minister and lec
turer, w-1.0, after a \ isii arffoug the
performers of Kinglltig Brothers' cir
jcus, preached a sermon in Lincoln
i .Memorial church on the "Gospel of
I the Circus.” Dr. Jones churacterlxwl
; cirrus folks as a high-minded class of
i men and women who were figuring in
a very Important way In the great
work of elevating the human race. He
said they inspired the youth of the
land with a desire not to neglect their
physical bodies while striving to gain
intellectual heights. A day at the cir
cus, he believed, turned back the tide
of the years, making the tired busi
ness matt once more a care-free boy
and letting the sunshine of heaven
Into his heart. I)r. Jones spent days
among the circus people, and declared
them a moral und rational body of
men and women, performing a great
service to mankind.
Aside from its worth as un enter
tainment the great spectacle of "Joan
of Arc," which opens the regular cir
cus program. Is a maßterful sermon.
Illuminating the inspiring story of a
peasant girl who, through the power
of faith and Christian heroism, be
came the deliverer of a nation. Over
1.200 people, 000 horses and a train
load of special scenery and stage prop
erties are required to tell this dra
matic story.
With Klngling Brothers’ circus this
season there is a trained horse act in
which an Arabian stallion takes off
Its harness and climbs into the car
riage it has been pulling, taking a
sent at the side of a young woman
passenger. Albert Schumann famous
horses from tho Circus Schuman, Ger
many, are also with the show. 9chu
roan Is the greatest trainer of horses
in the world, ills establishments in
Berlin, Frankfort and Schevenlngen
are among the great attractions of
teurope.
