Mondell l Wes D Insurgent Ban: Meets Applause — Points Olnt That Republicans •Have Not Ha<l Working Majority in Congress During Last Session. (Continued From rag* One.* this recognition and applauded gen erously the committee’* decision, which the convention cordially rati fied. Each state hereafter will have one man and one woman on the com mittee. The democrats gave this recognition to the women voters long ago. Mrs. Elizabeth Martin of Pennsyl vania, first woman to be chairman ef a committee in a republican conven tion, was enthusiastically applauded when introduced to present the re port on permanent organization. This report deslnated Mondell as perma nent chairman. Mondell having been chosen by President Coolidge when Mondell was in Washington two weeks ago. Temporary Chairman Burton was glad to turn the gavel over to Mon dell, as his voice was nearly done. Mondell put the remainder of the program through smoothly, his long experience in the house was a leader of the •’regulars” standing him In good stead. When he called for the report of the platform committee, he was advised it was not ready, so when Charles Dewey Ililles of New York, moved a recess until 8, Mon dell took the program firmly in his teeth and declared the motion car ried after a. response of a few feeble "ayes” and a chorus of "noes” that shook the auditorium. Tpxt of Speech. Text of Mr. MondeU’s speech fol lows: . “Ladles and gentlemen of the con \-ention: "We are met as the representatives of a great political party that has never failed nor faltered In its serv ice or loyalty to the republic: that has never proposed nor advocated on unwise or unsound national policy, and it is our privilege on behalf of this party to place in nomination for the highest office in the gift of the American people candidates who shall measure up to the finest standards of party leadership and who shall he entitled to, and, we confidently be lieve will receive the support of a large majority of the American vot ers at the polls in November. "We meet profoundly appreclotlv* of wise, patriotic and Inspiring party leadership In the past and earnestly thankful that the kindly providence and the great good fortune which gave our party and the nation Lin coln, McKinley, Roosevelt and Hard ing has vouchsafed for u* aa the worthy successor of those distin guished patriots the confidence-in spiring character of Calvin Coolidge. Endorsement Justified. "The American people placed the stamp of thdr approval on the candi dates of the last republican national convention by a majority of more than 5,500,000. Time and events have abundantly justified that unparalleled endorsement. He who was chosen ss tlie party standard bearer proved his statesmanship In the skillful handling and wise adjustment of im portant and weighty domestic and international questions and problems. Diligent in the nation's business, courageous In action, he gave him wise in public counsel, hf.nest and self unreservedly, mind and body, heart and soul, to the nation, and became as truly a martyr to patrio tic service' as any soldier stricken on the‘field of battle. How well he fitted and became the grea* office to which he was chosen. History will write his name high on the roll of able and efficient executives, but we v\ho knew and loved him best will cherish most the recollection of his great and kindly heart, Ms tender nnd sympathetic soul The nation mourned him as one mourns a brother beloved and en shrined him in the only enduring hall ef fame—the loyal hearts of a grateful people. 1 Confidence was the keynote of the sentiment which inspired the n> mlnation of Calvin Coolidge at Chicago four years ago. That ronfi Official Picture of G. 0. P. Convention at Cleveland --— ... .. -(g) Thousand* war* ipatsd In Clev*-® dencp grew as he modestly performed the duties of the position to which he was elcoted, and strengthened prodigiously as he met and handled in thoughtful, sympathetic and courageous fashion the many diffi cult and trying problems presented to him in the presidential office, “Confidence in President Coolidge is the most important and outstand ing fact In the political situation to day and, and in the presence of in evitable differences of opinion on questions of moment, this confidence is a fine a compliment to the Ameri can people as it Is to the president; a spontantemis to sincere faith, high courage and honest and unselfish purpose. “Never wag an administration con fronted with more difficult ad per plexing problems than those persent ed to the republican administration and congress elected four years ago, and the marvelous record of legisla tive and administrative accomplish ment which followed is without parallel In the annals of government. Spending Orgy Checked. “The orgy of reckless and extrava gant expenditure, which had been checked by the preceding republican congress, was succeeded by an economical and business-like conduct of public affairs under a budget sys tem wisely drawn and faithfully ad hered to. .The burden of war tax ation was greatly reduced. The ptib Ilo debt was steadily diminished. The armle-s of the unemployed, more num erous than the hosts that the nation marshaled in the world war, were soon absorbed In the tanks of Indus try. as wise legisatiion and sound ad ministration relieved the nation and its people from the handicap of democratic policies. “Never before in our history has the need and necessity of dependable party majorities aed of definite party responsibility been so clearly demon strated as in the very recent past, legislative control hv shifting and changing combinations, resulting in majorities havtng no common faith anif recognizing no united responsi bility, can not, in the nature of , - i-— things, produce legislative results beneficial or satisfactory to the peo ple of the country. The inevitable effect of such legislative control is confusion and paralysis and a legis lative product satisfactory to no one. "Every serious fault of recent legis lation and every failure to complete and round out a satisfactory legis lative program would and could have been avoided had there been depend able republican majorities in the congress. The one certain and as sured remedy for such a condition Is the election of a congress, republi can. by a goodly majority, both in name and principle. Open Season for C laims “This is the open season for weird claim and wild assertion on the part of our friends, the political enetnv. Only recently emerged from beneath the political landslide of four years ago they attempt to appear as confi dent as they were just before being engulfed in that overwhelming ca tastrophe. "In the moments they can spare from their fierce family feuds and rivalries they make a pretense of assuming to believe that they sue cesstully laid down a sntnke screen through which their transparent par tisan purposes shall not be dis covered, and in the contemplation of which all of their sins of omission and commission, of discredited poli cies snd discreditable administration shall he overlooked, and forgotten. "If the American people were pre pared to forget—s.s the democrats themselves endeavor to do—the whol ly indefensible record of the demo ■ ratio party In earlier days, they cer tainly could not overlook the fact that the most recent record of that party is one devoid of a single re deeming feature; of scandalous mis management, of unw.se and Indefen sible policy, when in control snd ut- j ter lack of fixed and definite prin i eiple or policy, savn that of muck ; raking and obstruction, when in I minority. Faith Justified. "As we proceed to the nomination i of our candidate* and the drafting i land s huge convention hall when Chairman John T. Adams rapped for order. John Philip Sousa step* to the lip of the platform and leads a great band in “The Star Spangled Banner." A pause, and Sousa leads In one of his marches, “The Star* and Stripes Forever." Bishop Anderson of the Methodist Episcopal church then lead* in prayer, and Chairman Adams asks the throng to he seated. The thousands pose for this, the official photo of the opening session. A few minutes lates the picture Is placed aboard an airplane and flown to Omaha. of our platform we may find Inspira tion In the fart that ours Is the only national party In America that can and does point, with prids to each snd every candidate nominated at its con ventions and to every declaration made In any of Its platforms. All human experience justifies faith and confidence in an organization with such a history. The record of wise leadership, sound policy, snd faithful public service in the past affords the test possible guaranty of the future. "A tres Is known by Its fruit; not by the showy flowers of promts* or the occasional defect in bud or branch, but by th* normal harvest through the running of the years— and the harvest of the republican party and leadership Is faithfully re* fleeted In the matchlciw growth and fadeless glory of the republic."
