Candidates Are Cheered
By PAUL GREER.
Lincoln, Aug. 15. (Special.) The
republican party of Nebraska today
grappled with t lie problem con
fronting the people in Hale and na
tion. It wa a clean fight, with no
dddging, no thadow boxing, no (tail
ing. With the -problem of industrial
justice pushed to the front by. the
transportation, furl, and textile
Strikes, the platform committee of
the republican Mate convention
brought in a plank designed to sub
stitute peaceful menu for the waste-
mi mcthoti by winch dispute are
now settled, i'htt resolution, which
wat unatniotiNly adopted by the con
vention, reads at lollow:
"Vft recommend the enactment of
national legislation designed to ob
viale the recurrence of auch disa
Iron industrial warfare to which
the country i now subjected, care
being taken to do full justice to the
general public, employers and cm
ployes."
This plank, which calls for a na-
tional industrial " code, was one of
many striving to meet postwar
emergencies. One hearing the
speeches at this convention and read
ing the platform adopted there must
be struck with the fact that the con
test in the coming election is i
struggle against menacing condi
lions rather than a mere tight be
tween parties.
Foremost anions the oledares (riven
the new republican platform is, the
reduction of taxes, themrelvet the
cause of a great deal of the unrest.
J Ins plank stipulates that efficiency
and good government must not be
sacrificed through false economy. It
als pledges the county and other
local candidates to the same con
servative method?, pointing out that
" i per cent ot the taxpayers dollar
Is spent by local authorities.
Guarantee Good Roads.
The continued developments of
good roads in accord with the de
inand of the people is guaranteed.
Among the other planks is one
calling for the extension of the atfri
cultural and labor departments to be
of the greatest use possible to the
producers. Another reads: "We
pledge the party to the continued
support of legislation aiding the
farmer In carrying on his industry
and marketing his crops, to the encj
that this basic industry may have
a fair return on the capital and labor
invested.
The direct primary was endorsed
amid the applause of the 700 dele
gates who came from every part of
the state, i he suggestion of repeal
' ing the indeterminate sentence law
and the enactment of legislation to
make it as hard for a criminal to feet
out of prison as it is for the gov
ernment to put him there was like-

Code Law' Is Attacked
the democratic state convention
in the Omaha Auditorium listened to
considerable oratory yesterday after
noon, the substance of whirh wa
high-powered excoriation of the re
oubliran state and national admin
titrations and a sublimation of demo
cratic virtues.
It was necessary for the conven
tion to adjourn over for an evening
session to adopt the platform and
to name the new rtate central com
mit fn
Taxation Mas one of the favorite
themes of the speakers and the re
peal of the code and revenue law
was another mwvd. on which the
democrat said much.
The platform charge the repub
lican administration with incompe
tency, denounce the federal reve
nue law: favors impartial enforce
ment of laws, the eight-hour day and
collective bargaining; holds up the
subject of taxation a the paramount
issue; pledges repeal of the code and
revenue laws, upfioius tne primary
law and endorses repeal or amend'
ment of the indeterminate sentence
law.
Platform Committee,
The Derronncl of the platform
committee by congressional district
follows: First, Dr. V. L. Hall and
Mrs. C. S. Fame; second. Arthur

Speakers of Day.
The sneaker of the afternoon
were Mrs. Antoinete Funk of Warh-
ington, V. C, Senator (j. M. Hitch
cock, Charles W. Bryan of Lincoln,
gubernatorial nominee, and Edgar
Howard, congressional nominee in
the Third district. Miss E. Ruth
Pyrtle of Lincoln, candidate for state
superintendent, spoke briefly.
The appearance of Senator Hitch
cock and Charles W. Bryan on the
same convention platform was a
political anomaly which the dele
gates got used to as the afternoon
oroeressed. Jn his address to tne
convention the senator made the fol
lowing reference to his present as
sociation with Mr. Bryan:
I am not embarrassed by the fact
that I am not obligated to him. I
congratulate the democrats on their
nomination of such a courageous and
splendid man as Charles W. Bryan.
For a number of years there has
been no political intimacy between
him and me. We have ditfered. as
honest men differ, and we have, upon
occasion, fought as honest men fight.
Now that that occasion has passed
wc can co-operate, as free men co
operate." Cheer for Bryan.
The name of Bryan again roused a
Nebraska democratic state conven
tion, Delegates waved handkerchiefs
and hats. An elderly delegate in
the Lancaster com,ty group proudly
displayed a large W. J. Hrvan but
ton on his coat, "Tower and 1'ower"
Allen of Lancaster cheered with the
others.
"I am afraid," laid Edgar How
ard, addressing the convention, "that
we may have o much democratic
harmony that we tiuv lot get to peak
to the common enemy In term that
we should, l ei us not be abashed
in speaking out."
Karlier in the day Mr. Howard ex
iiUinnl that ill res-citing the demo
cratic party bark nun hit good
grace lie can say that he never ttulll
lie I himtrlf.
Among those on the platform were

By GEORGE P, AUTHIER.
M oMii0to I orrravo6nt Ooiofco U,
Washington, Aug. 15; (Special
Telegram.) President Harding i
going lo congres with the atory of
the strike in the roal industry and
in the railway world "within the next
4H hours," lie it fakinir this de
rixioii against the advice of many of
lus ouu party, and will do it in hi
own way. Just what he will say to
congress is not known, -although
word was brought batk to the sen
ate today by Senator Watson of
Indiana and and Kellogg of Minne
iota, both of whom talked with him
that he would not come with a con
crete propocal to remedy either the
immediate situation or to advocate
method of dealing wi'h iiic future.
So far as is known tonight, the
president will use rongrcr a
great forum from which to addrest
the country, calling it attention to
the tenousnes of the situation, and
suggesting lo congress that it grap
ple with the problem of preventing
repetioin of what hat happened. It
will not be a "fighting talk," in the
ense that it will brandish a big
tick. I he president is going to con
gres when outward evidence indr
rate, the rail strike is reaching it
natural conclusion and that the bi
tumiriout coal (trike it over.
The preat forces of public opinion
tre beginning to bear upon it, espe
cially that part of it which finds it
reidenre on the larm ot the coun
try.
To Inform Country,
The coal strike, it believed to be
about to reach a settlement and there
it a feeling that the coal miner and
the railroad worker have had a quiet
undcrtanding. For thi reason
many senators today expressed the
belief it would be wiser for the presi
dent to remain silent and allow
event to take their course. Thi it
not the president's view. He appar
ently think he owe it to the coun
try to inform it of what it taking
place and what i threatened. He
will relate the story of what ha
been done and will attempt to mar
hal public opinion even more force
fully iu favor of tome arrangement
which will minimize a repetition of
the present crisi. The president
feels little will be accomplished if
the country passe through the pres
ent crisis without realizing the dan
ger in which it ha been placed and
without girding itself to perfect
method of dealing with future indus
trial disturbances which threaten the
life of the community,
The administration is convinced
that the American economic ytem
it greatly at fault, if it allow a con
dition to continue in which it i po-
ible for one or more 'groups, in
pressing their own demands, to
throttle the life of the entire coun
try.
Member of congress are not cer
tain of the condition of public sen
timcnt, It is not only fear that
presidential addresses to congrest
will aggravate the present situation.
