HUNT WASHINGTON, June 10.—Last but not least of the keynoters who will sound their clarion calls for the political battle of 1924 comes William 14. Johnston. Maybe you don’t place Johnston He isn’t a senator, nor a represen tative, nor a governor, nor even an assemblyman. He isn’t as the phrase goes, “in politics.” That is he doesn’t aspire to any office. He isn’t running for anything. Natur ally, he is interested in things po litical, as we are told all good citi zens should be, but his interest cen ters around policies, not parties. Johnston is the man who will call to order, in the B. of L. E. Audi torium in Cleveland on July 4, the meeting which will launch the in dependent candidacy of Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin. ♦ * ♦ The Cleveland meeting, it should be remembered, starts off as, “conference,” not a convention. Theoretically, it is called as an occasion on which individuals and organizations, who believe that both old parties have gone to seed and hold no hope for future growth, can (talk things over and decide what is to be done about it. Actually, it is a meeting called to endorse as an independent candi date, opposing both old party tick ets, the fighting progressive sena ton from Madison, Wis. No organi zation which will send delegates, and no individual representative who will attend, expects any other insult. * LaFolJ'ette’s dominance over the July 4 gathering will be more com plete and comprehensive even than the dominance of Coolidge over the Cleveland convention on June 10. * » » The meeting will be called to order by Johnston, president of the International Machinists’ Union, in his capacity as chairman of the na tional committee of the Conference for Progressive Political Action. Briefly, as his keynote for the occasion, he will outline the situa tion that caused the gatherings to be called. He will analyze the plat forms of the two old party conven tions, both of which will have been completed before that time. He will present for their dissection the two old party candidates—provided the Democrats have decided on one by that date. Then he will ask the “confer ence” what it purposes to do about it. • * * That is as far as the proceedings can be pictured at this time. From that point on it will be “up to the conference.” A progressive independent plat form, shaped to appeal to the aver age individual, the white-collar worker as well as the man in over alls ,the farm worker as well as the city toiler, will be attempted. And on that platform, LaFollette will be asked to stand for election. ♦ * ♦ Among the organization which Have been invited to send delegates to the conference are the 16 ra’’- road brotherhoods, the most influ ential and numerically powerful organized group in the country; the typographical and printing trades unions, clothing workers, metal workers, telegraphers and the whole field of organized labor. Farmers National Council, the Progressive party of Idaho, the Nonpartisan League of North Da kota and state farm bureau groups. Women will have a direct repre sentation through the Woman’s Na tional Trades Union League and the Woman’s Committee for Poli tical Action. """""■"" //V 'ZSST) Castor Oil? K Never 'Again! That’s what numbers of mothers are saying since they have tried Liv-o-lax for the bilious attacks, indigestion and similar disorders of their children. Mother dreads giving castor oil just as much as the baby fears taking it, and the same applies to calomel. It was because the common family laxative fails to act on. the liver that W. L. Hand began experimenting to devise a remedy that would act on both liver and bowels and take the place of calomel and castor oil, and the Liv-o lax formula, as has been proven in thousands of households, meets this need, - » » Liv-o-lax is purely vegetable and is a liquid remedy, so pleasant to taste that the children love to take it. • It is just as good for bilious condi. ttons and disorders of digestion in adults. You can get Liv-o-lax now at your favorite drug store. - BURTON URGES ■ PARTYTORALLY (Continued From Page One) Judge William S. Kenyon, of lowa, showed new strength, the talk of Herbert Hoover grew stronger) and a movement for Da.ves lost no ground, and the Lowden support ers renewed stubborn resistance to the former Illinois governor’s re iterated determination not to ac cept the nomination if it were of fered. Many new faces appeared where old familiar faces had been in years gone by. For the first time since the Republicans nominated Lincoln, Uncle Joe Cannon was absent. BURTON CALLS PARTY TO RALLY TO COOLIDGE CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10. (By the Associated Press.) —The Republican party was called upon today by Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, the temporary chairman of its national contention, to rally about the leadership of CMvin Cooidge. “The people—and all the peo ple—have confidence in Calvin Coolidge,’’ Representative Burton declared in sounding the keynote of the convention. ‘Tn th e great array of rulers, kings and prime ministers, instreuted with power, there is none who can surpass him in honesty of purpose, in courage, or in high devotion to the welfare of his country.” Mr. Burton asserted that “by far the greater share of our citi zenship looks to President Cool idge ra.her than to congress for leadership,” and ha urged the par ty to take its stand with Mr. Cool idge on all of the controversial issues which have arisen between the executive and some members of the Republican majority in con gress. He recommended that the party declare for American adherence to the world court with merely the Harding-Hughes reservations. He regretted that congress refused to accede to Coolidge’s wish es in enacting the Jap- anese exclusion provision of the immigration bill. He declared the new tax law abounded in defects and should not be taken as the last word in tax revision. He dis missed enactment of th e bonus bill over the president’s veto with the assertion that “conditions created by it must be met and its provis ions must be willingly accepted.” Much of the blame visited upon Republicans in the session of congress just ended, he told the convention, however, “is not de served because on many major questions their party has not eoir.- manded a majority in either branch.” Enumerating the achievements of the Republican party in its stewardship of national affairs in the past four years, he paid high tribute to the memory of Presi dent Harding, told of the accomp lishments under his leadership, and pronounced this benediction: They are standardized in order to bring about uni form therapeutic efficiency to the patient whenever required. This efficiency is most needed in the sick room—not merely in the laboratory. What is true of drugs must be true of foods. Purity and efficiency in the can is only part of the problem —purity and efficiency in the kitchen is the true test The law requires that baking power contain 12% leavening gas at the time of sale to the consumer. This measure insures uniform leavening efficiency and protects the health of the public. In order to comply with this fixed standard for bak ing powder, manufacturers must produce and pack their product so as to avoid the deterioration which may result from absorption of atmospheric moisture. Baking Powder manufacturers to avoid violation of the law, also spend thousands of dollars yearly in testing grocers’ stocks and removing "spent” goods from his shelves, in spite of the fact that every pos sible precaution had previously been taken against deterioration. With the exception of Texas, the pure food laws are not applied to bak ing powder mixed with flour at the mill and sold in bags as '‘Self Rising Flour.” There is no penalty on the manufacturers if this fails to “self rise”—the consumer is the “goat”—he is the one that pays the penalty through indigestion and ill health that comes from eating bakings that are not properly raised. The standardization of baking powder is a pro tection to both the consumer and the manufacturer—who welcomes sych laws and co-operates in every way possible. But! Not so with the self rising flour manufacturer—he resents such laws and fights such legislation. Why? Because a standardization of self ris ing flour would require moisture-proof containers instead of cheap sacks —because low grade “clears” could no longer be sold as “fancy patent flour.” It would also mean he must maintain expert chemical control such as is now maintained by baking powder manufacturers. Calumet Baking Powder contains only such ingredients as have been officially approved by the U. S. Food Authorities. Packed In tin—keeps the strength in “Rest, Wearied Spirit, rest in peace, secure in the lasting re membrance which belongs to the immortals.” Varied and numerous were the accomplishments cited by Mr. Bur ton, ranging from the achieve ments of the arms conference and American unofficial participation in the work of the reparations ex perts committee through the field of domestic activities, PLATFORM DRAFT FINISHED; VIEW OF COOLIDGE MET CLEVELAND, June 10.—A ten tative draft of the 1924 platform of the republican party had bon completed today after a group of members of the resolutions com mittee labored into the early morn ing hours and obtained the views of President Coolidge by telephono on certain planks. After hours of conference the platform builders, under the chair manship of Charles B Warren, made some changes in suggested planks brought here by Secretary Slemp with President Coolidge’s sanction. The foreign relations prevision was materially revised, and it is understood it was upon this subject particularly that the executive was consulted by long distance tele phone. At the conclusion of the hear ings today the resolutions com mittee, composed of one member each from each of the states and territories, will begin whipping the platform into final shape.
