P. : lhgiiejsl flayed Commends Senate for Re jecting Pact Declares Against Strikes Against United States - "S COLISEUM, CHICAGO.. June 11. The text of the platform as adopted by the Republican national conven tion follows: The Republican party, assembled in representative national convention, reaffirms its unyielding devotion to the constitution of the United States and to the guarantees of civil, political and religious liberty therein contained. It will resist all attempts to overthrow the founda tions of the government or to weak en the force of its controlling prin ciples and ideals whether the ar tempts made in the form of in ternational policy or domestic agi tation. For seven years the national gov ernment has been controlled by the Democratic party. During that pe riod a war of unparalleled magni ture has shaken the foundations of civilization, decimated .the popula tion of Europe, and left in its trail economic misery and suffering sec ond only to war itself. The outstanding features of the Democratic administration have been complete unpreparedness for war and complete unpreparedness for peace. Unpreparedness for War Inexcusable failure to make time ly preparation is the chief indict ment against the Democratic admin istration in the conduct of the war. Had not opr associates protected us, both on land and sea, during the first twelve months of our .partici pation and furnished us to the very day of the admistice with munitions, planes and artillery, this failure would have been punished with dis aster. It directly resulted in un necessary losses to our gallant troops, in the imperilment of vic tory itself, and in an enormous waste of public funds literally poured'into ’he breach created by gross neglect. Today it is reflected in our huge tax burden and in the high cost of living. Unpreparedness for Peace Peace found the administration as unprepared for peace as war found it unprepared for war. The vital needs of the country demand ed the early and systematic return to a peace-time basis. This called for vision, leadership and Intelli gent planning. All three have been lacking. While the country has been left to shift for itself, the govern ment has continued on a war-time basis. The administration has not demobilized the army of place hold ers. It continued a method of financing which was indefensible during the period of reconstruction. It has used legislation passed to meet the emergency of war to con tinue its arbitrary and inquisito rial control over the life of the peo ple in time of peace, and to carry confusion into industrial life. Un de rthe despot’s plea of necessity or superior wisdom, executive usur pation of legislative and judicial functions still undetermines our in- ' stitutions. Eighteen months after the armi stice, with its war-time powers un abridged, its war-time departments undischarged, its war-time army of place holders still mobilized, the ad ministration continues to flounder helplessly. The demonstrated incapacity of the Democratic party has destroyed public confidence, weakened the au thority of government and produced a feeling of distrust and hesitation so universal as to increase enor mously the difficulties of readjust ment and to delay the return to nor mal conditions. Never has our nation been con- graver problems. The people are entitled to know in defi nite terms how the parties purpose solving these problems. To that end the Republican party declares its policies and. program to be as fol lows : We undertake to end executive au tocracy and to restore to the people their constitutional government. The policies herein declared will be carried out by the federal and state governments, each acting with in its constitutional powers. Congress and Reconstruction Despite the unconstitutional and dictatorial course of the president and the partisan obstruction ox tne Democratic congressional minority, the Republican majority has enacted a program of constructive legislation which, in great part, however, has been nullified by the vindictive ve toes of the president. The Republican congress has met the problems presented by the ad ministration’s unpreparedness f>or peace. It has repealed the greater part of the vexatious war legisla tion. It has enacted a transporta tion act making possible the rehabil itation of the railroad system of the country, the operation of which, un der the present Democratic admin istration, has been wasteful, extrav agant and inefficient in the highest degree. The transportation act made provision for the peaceful settlement of wage disputes, partially nullified, however, by the president’s delay in appointing the wage board created by the act. This ’delay precipitated the outlaw railroad strike. We stopped the flood of public treasure, recklessly poured into the lap of an inept shipping board, and laid the foundations for the creation of a great merchant marine; we took from the incompetent Democratic ad ministration the administration of the telegraph and telephone lines of the country and returned them to private ownership; we reduced the cost of postage and increased the pay of the postal employes—the poorest paid of all public servants; we pro vided pensions for superannuated and retired civil servants and for an increase in pay of soldiers and sail ors. We reorganized the army on a peace footing and provided for the maintenance of a powerful and effi cient navy. The Republican congress estab lished by law a permanent woman’s bureau in the department of labor; we submitted to the country the con stitutional amendment for woman suffrage and furnished twenty-nine of the thirty-five legislatures which have ratified it to date. Legislation for the relief of the consumers of print paper, for the ex tension of the powers of the govern ment under the food control act, for broadening the scope of the war risk insurance act. better provision for the dwindling number of ax-ad veter- GOMPERSCDI'IDEMNS LABOR PROVISIONS ING.O.RPLATFORM Directly Contrary to What Was Asked for. He States, Progressives Seek Power in A, F. of L. MONTREAL, Quebec. June 11. — President Samual Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement today condemned the labor plank adopted by the Republican na tion convention. “The plank is directly contrary to what labor asked for,” said Mr. Gom pers. Mr .Gompers referred especially to that part of the plank indorsing set tlement of strikes in public utilities by boards similar to that of the Esch-Cummins transportation act. The administration of the conserv ative wing of the American Federa tion of Labor was threatened here to day by the progressive element. The Progressives, headed by James Dun can, of Seattle, who yesterday over threw two major reports of the or ganization committee, were prepared to again contest the Gomper’s forces for power. Union leaders declared that the Progressives, in getting the annual convention to lay the foundation for a food distributing and producing department yesterday, had shown the most formidable power in years. They conceded, how’ever, that with President Gompers back in the chair today the Conservatives would gain control of the situation. The progressive element was plan ning today to fight for the radical recommendations for the relief of the workers. They also seek the re lease of political prisoners, lifting of a Russian blockade, recognition of the Russian blockade, recognition of declaration againstthe Leaguer of Nations; They will, however, sup port the Irish resolutions. < Progressive leaders said they would contest any mild recommenda tions that may be presented by the committees on the executive council that have to do with the high cost of living, profiteering and other eco nomic problems. ' AUSTRIANCABINET AND KARL RENNER HAVE RESIGNED VIENNA, June 11.— (By the Asso ciated Press.) —The Austrian cabi net, headed by Dr. Karl Renner as chancellor, which has held office most of the time since the armistice, has resigned. Dr. Renner presented the resigna tion shortly after midnight after a meeting of the cabinet with repre sentatives of the social Democrats. The break came unexpectedly over the minister of war’s decree on army discipline about which a question was raised in the national assembly yes terday by the Christian Socailists. It is believed a new coalition cab inet will be formed pending the elec tions.

REPUBLICANS TO BE CHALLENGED BY DEMOCRATS CHICAGO, June 11. —Many of the most important planks of the Re-1 publican platform are believed cer- ; tain to bring a direct challenge from I the Democrats in their convention at San Francisco. The Republican platform was adopted by the conven tion last evening. Democrats, judging by their talk in congress, are certain to meet with bitter denounciation the claims of the Republican platform that the last ses sion of the national legislature has a praiseworthy record. They probably will point to several recommenda tion of the president that congress failed to enact and seek to place the blame for present conditions to fail ure. The hand of the old guard seems to be apparent to some extent, in the business and financial sections of the Republican platfortn, and in re ply to this the Democrats probably will make an appeal to labor, claim ing the Republicans are controlled by reactionary business interests. Another • Democratic attack prob ably will be directed at the guaranty section of the railroad act, which was bitterly opposed by the minority-, but which was highly praised several times during the convention. A vigorous defense of the Demo cratic conduct of financial affairs is said to meet Republican attacks on the direction of the federal reserve system. The high cost of living issue will be kicked back and forth in true political fashion, it now seems. < The League of Nations issue is not very clearly defined in the Republi can platform, and in this fight much will depend on the-character of the nominee, it was explained. American Battleship Arrives at Vera Cruz To Fight the Plague VERA CRUZ, June 11. —Arrival of the United States destroyer Harding, with physicians, nurses and medical supplies, was the signal today for inauguration ot the first effective measures to be taken by city au thorities to combat spread of the bubonic plague, which has been claiming many victims here. Newsboys and bootblacks of Vera Cruz have been organized to kill rats. Strong military guards have been placed at all roads leading the city and railway tracks were torn up to prevent any one leaving.

SPA INDEMNITY MEETING MAY BE CALLED OFF LONDON, June 11. —Possibility of the abandonment of the Spa confer ence between representatives of the allied governments and Germany is being discussed in European capi tals. The success of the indepndent So cialists and the conservatives in the German elections leads to the belief in France that Germany is less than ever inclined to carry out the treaty. This belief, with the prospect that Giovanni Giolitti, former Italian pre mier, will form a new ministry in that country is said to have moved Premier Millerand, of France, to op pose any further yielding on the question of the German indemnity, such as might be expected to result from the Spa meeting. It js recalled that Signor Giolitti opposed Italy’s entrance into the war. and it is said his foreign policy includes resump tion of full relations with Germany. Premier Millerand is said to feel he might hazard his own position if the Spa conference were held, and belief is expressed here that Signor Giolitti may decline to attend the meeting. McCoy, Convicted of Bigamy, Makes Long Statement in Court AMERICUS, Ga., June 11—A. H. McCoy, who was convicted on a charge of bigamy in Sumter superior court here Thursday, made a long and impassioned statement to the court in which he asserted his in nonence of the crime and announced that he would appeal for a new trial on the ground that he had not had sufficient time to prepare his case. He absolved the jurors who con victed him and thanked his counsel for their efforts in his behalf, but maintained that he had done nothing for which he should wear stripes. The statement, unusual as it was. caused a sensation at the time. McCoy, who went from Cuthbert to France as a member of the fa mous 151st machine gun battalion of the Rainbow divison, and won pro motion by capturing 15 Germans sin gle-handed. was convicted of mar rying a student of Andrew college about a year after he had. married a nurse in France. He claims that the marriage in France was “pre tended,” and that he and Miss Orpha D. Wood, said to be a trained nurse of Atlanta, met in and agreed that the marriage had been illegal, and that each was free. Both alleged wives were present durink trial and both conversed freely with Miss Mollie Buckley, witness for the state, who testified that she wit nessed the marriage ceremony in France where she was serving with Miss Wood in the Red Cross service. CUREiTHERTrfS Mrs. Paul Gram, residing at 916 Fourth street, Milwaukee, Wis., re cently gave out the following state ment: “1 had suffered with Fits (Epilepsy) for over 14 years. Doctors and medicine did me no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last 1 secured a preparation that cured me sound an.; well. Over 10 years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish every one who suffers frdm this terrjbie disease would write R. P. N.

The board concluded its meeting Thurs day night after a two-day session at which the needs of the various de partments were canvassed. Last year approximately $1,600,000 was spent for home missions, so that the appropriations for 1920 are more than a million and a quarter dollars in excess of those for 1919. This is in conformity with the program of the Southern Baptist convention in carrying out the 75 Million campaign for a great expansion in all de nominational activities during the next five-year period. The greatest increase in depart mental appropriations made by the home board is for church building, for'which $776,250 has been set aside for use during the next twelve months. Increased appropriations for enlistment, evangelism, mountain schools and co-operative missions are also authorized. Appropriations Approved The board made the various ap propriations after recommendations had been submitted by various spe cial subcommittees appointed to con sider the needs of each department. Only a few changes were made in these recommendations. The ap propriations for the next twelve months, as approved and authorized by the board, are as follows: Church extensions 776,250 Evangelism 168,100 Mountain schools 219,100 Publicity' 38,500 Cuba 98,363 Panama 38,900 Foreigners, Indians and ne- groes 322,398 Administration 84,400 War work 46,990 Southern Baptist sanita- rium ....' 288,500 Co-operative missions .. ~ 230,026 Enlistment . 175,100 Loan fund 250,000 Seminaries and Baptist Bi- ble institute 150,000 Total $2,826,627 The board appointed a special com mission to investigate and report on the project to erect a $1,500,000 hos pital in New Orleans as directed by the Southern Baptist convention at its last meeting in Washington, D. C. This commission is composed of Dr. B. D. Gray, corresponding secre tary of the board; Dr. John F. Pur ser, president; Dr. C. W. Elsey, of Kentucky; Dr. L. W. Atwood, of Tennessee, and Dr. H. L.

If Three Leaders Fail to Win After Fair Chance "Dark Horses” Will Be Brought Into Convention BY DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.! COLISEUM, Chicago, June 11.— Even if the public could be told all that was said, all that w r as promised, all that was planned in the confer ences which lasted well into the morning, the said public would only know the strategy—not the result. For as the Republican national con vention enters into its final stage —the actual naming of candidates for president ana vice president— the pledges and assurances exchanged behind closed doors by the busy man agers of individual aspirants for the nomination mean only a concerted ef fort to name a conservative accept able to the regular Republican or ganization. The order of events based upon some knowledge of what the board of strategy is mapping out on the inside of this convention is this: 1. Let Wood show his maximum strength on the first few ballots, and let Johnson hold his delegates in tact.' 2. Ipet Lowden come up and pass Wood in the totals. Make a final drive inside the New York, Pennsyl vania and Massachusetts delegations for Lowden. 3. If Lowden doesn’t get the “break” and merely holds his lines Intact, with no evident chance of tak ing delegates from Leonard Wood, a ballot or two for Johnson’s benefit will be tried. 4. If all three leaders fail to get 41 majority, the board of strategy will offer Knox or Sproul or Harding, with the certainty that Harding will at least be given the vice presidency, if Johnson declines it. 5. If, the convention refuses Knox or Sproul or Harding, then Senator Penrose and the Old Guard who are sitting on the board of managers will be compelld to go to other com promise candidates, like Hughes, Hoover or Lenroot, but none of the insiders believe the situation will get that far. Johnson on Inside Now there is a shrewd gentleman by the name of Hiram Johnson who knows what is happening on the in side, and who knows what the effort of the Old Guard is going to be. He is being, assured that he will have his chance as soon as Wood is elim inated and Lowden’s strength is tested, and the hint is given him that he had better hold his delegates until each one of his rivals has finally got ten out of the race. But the California senator has played the poker of politics in his own state and also in the United States senate and he is not so easily held in line. Indeed, Mr. Johnson is keeping the Lowden forces on edge by continually hinting or gesturing in the direction of Leonard Wood. If Johnson threw his delegates to Wood, the eminent major general would win this nomination in a walk. So long, however, as Johnson thinks there is a remote chance for him to win, he will not withdraw in anybody’s favor. So it is necessary for the managers who oppose Wood to keep dangling before Johnson the prospect of win ning the nomination himself. It is interesting to record in this connec tion that Senator Johnson has had within the last twenty-four hours conferences with Tobias Hert, man ager of the Lowden boom, and with John T. King, who represents' Sena tor Penrose. Both King and Hert; are vehemently opposed to Wood's candidacy and to Frank Hitchcock. Johnson Holds Cards Mr. Hitchcock, by the way, is rep resented as having told Massachu setts delegates that if he wins this fight for Wood, Will Hays will be displaced as national chairman and the former postmaster general will run the campaign. So the messages are carried back and forth and the bluffs and feints are made in the great nominating game. Johnson is really out of it and is powerful only in that he can name the presidential candidate by releasing his delegates and with drawing in favor of another con tender. The belief persists that when he is once convinced that he can’t win, he will go on the ticket with Phi lander C. Knox, former secretary of state, former attorney general, for mer friend of Roosevelt and Taft and unquestionably the man who would find favor not merely with the all-important Pennsylvania delega tion, which is one of three holding the balance of power, but with the New York and Massachusetts delega tions. Mr. Knox, who was first brought out by Penrose, would in herit the Lowden strength in New York and Massachusetts and togeth er with Pennsylvania this would be enough to win. ,7 # It may be necessary to make the ticket Knox and Coolidge to catch the fancy of Massachusetts, and if that isn’t -possible there are some Lowden delegates in populous Ohio who might be brought into camp by making the ticket Knox and Harding. Ail these moves are under considera tion as the convention makes an ef fort to finish its business by Satur day night. A deadlock in the ballot ing would upset all calculations and keep the convention here to the mid dle of next week. Scents a copy. $1.50 A year. REPUBLICANS MEET EARLY TO NOMINATE MAN FORPRESIDENT Platform Agreement Reach ed at Night Session Thurs day Three Candidates Are Deadlocked COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June IL— The big three—Lowden, Johnson and Wood—were al placed in nomination before the Republican convention to day during the first four hours of a swelterihg session. Each of the nominations was ac companied with tumultuous demon-> strations on the floor and in the galleries in which the usual conven tion scenes of marching, shouting, sweating delegates prancing about the hall, carrying flags, banners and . likenesses of their favorite candidate were witnessed. Forcing the convention along at express speed to make up for the time lost in settlement of the treaty Issue, efforts were made to hold the time given to demonstration down to a minimum, one seconding speeches were limited to five minutes, and to two minutes when there were more than two seconds. The effort was to reach the balloting before ad journment tonight. All the nominating speakers got ready responses from the convention. Charles S. Wheeler,X of California, who nominated Johnson, got roars and cheers from the convention when he referred to the Wilson administra tion as the “royal family,” and by inference to William G, McAdoo as “the crown prince.” “Are you prepared for four years more of them?” he shouted. The crowd answered "no! no!” But when Mr. Wheeler referred to Senator Johnson as having had an adequate campaign fund, the crowd let go a round of boos, jeers and guffawe. Former Senator Beveridge admon ished the crowd to remain quiet and let the speakers proceed. * Candidates at Hotels While the speeches were being made at tlhe oliseum today, the lead ing candidates for presidential nom ination were in the seclusion of their hotel rooms, but all war in instant touch by telephone with the convention hall. Senator ohnson was closeted with several of his advisers at his head quarters. General Wood arrived in the city from Fort Sheridan and called about him the men who were to direct the fight ors> the floor of the convention. After they had gone to the contention ,the general held to his rooms. Governor Lowden used the early hours of the day for conferences with his chiefs and then als adjourned to his apartments to await a report of the convention’s happenings. As far as ascertained, none of the ainounced candidates with the ex ception of Governor Sproul of Penn sylvania, visited the Coliseum dur ing the day; Governor Sproul ap peared there before the convention but returned to his hotel. Heat Terrific In spite of the sweltering temper ature inside the convention hall, the delegates began to pile into their places a full half hour before today’s session was to begin. They all were rearing to have it over with, and the possibility that the nominations might be made today and the con- 1 vention ended seemed to take some of the edge off the'ir distress from the heat. It gave promise of being the hottest day of the convention in all respects. Most of those on the convention oor and in the galleries came with fans, and many of the delegates stripped off their coasts before they took their seats. For the time being ,at least, the hot weather was the big feature in the convention picture. At 9:30, however, when the conven tion should have been called to or der, there still were great patches of empty seats in the delegates’ sec tion and the platform was almost empty. The crowd sent up an ever-growing rumble of conversation while it wait ed for the party leaders to get through with their conferences in their hotels a mile away. During the wait the delegates, still were asking one another who was to be nominated, and the usiial reply was distinctly of the “d—n-if-I-1- know” character. The managers foe all the candidates tried to outdo on* another in confidence over the result. The Wood people were claiming a Victory by a third or fourth ballot. The predictions of the others were less definite. The Wood managers who hart planned to have a string of second speeches for their candidate, revised their program at the last minute so that only Frank Knox, of New (Continued on Page 3, Column 2) HEALS STOMACH TROU BLE AND TAPE WORM \ AT HOME A sample home treatment which glTts quick and lasting relief in all forms of stomach trouble, including tape worms or other wairne, ’s beinu supplied to sufferers by WaUwf Reisner, Box C-64, Milwaukee.
