Convention Stampede at Chicago Republican Rally
A Chicago correspondent notes stark contrasts between Republican and Progressive conventions.

Weeks and Sherman backers shift support ahead of convention
Associated Press reports Weeks of Massachusetts released his delegates after tallying 15 votes, with Sherman freeing 56 delegates. Both leaders withdraw their candidates and back Hughes in Illinois. Massachusetts voters largely stay with Weeks, while other states tilt toward Hughes. Indiana delegates weigh vice presidential odds, with Fairbanks and Borah reluctant to accept.
