By Assorietrd Press.
Washington, March 17. — Should
President Coolidge be the republican
nominee at Cleveland, and should a
reactionary platform be adopted,
friends of Senator I.a' Follette predict
that the Wisconsin delegation, after
the defeat of the substitute platform
which it will offer, will walk out of
the convention. They hope that other
state delegations also will withdraw.
Inquiries have already been made
In all the states to develop what ob
stacles there would be to such a pro
gram, and reports have been made that
the greatest difficulties would be en
countered in New York state. These
' would not, it is said, be insurmounta
ble.

Madison. Wis.. March 17.—The plat
form of the La Follette progressive
republican delegates, as made public
today, pledges ‘‘complete house clean

Cognizance also t< taken of recent
developments in the Washington in
vestigations.
"We pledge recovery of the navy's
oil reserve and all other parts of the
public domain which have been fradu

wrongfully transferred to the control
of private interests; vigorous prosecu
tion of nil public officials, private
citizens and corporations that partici
pated in these tranactions; complete
revision of the water power act, and
all other legislation relating to the
public domain. We favor public own
ership of the nation’s water power
and the creation and development of
a national super-water power system,
and strict public control and perma
nent conservation of all the nation’s
resources in the interest of the peo
pie.”

It is also proposed that “hundreds
of millions stolen from the treasury
through fraudulent war contracts and
the corrupt leasing of the public re j
sources" be recovered.

"Diligent action to collect the
cumulated interest upon the $11,000.
100,000 owing us by foreign govern
aients,” is advocated.
”\Ve denflkince the Mellon plap,”
says the platform, “as a device to
relieve multimillionaires at the ex
pense of other tax payers and favor
n taxation policy providing for iiu>
mediate reductions on moderate in
i nines, large increases in the inheri
tance tax rates on large estates tp

had the open saloons, snd we are.
therefore, opposed unalterably to the
settled campaign of the wets to ac

Film causes moat tooth troubles
—that viscous film you feel No
ordinary tooth paste effectively
combats it, so much film clings and
stays.
Soon that film discolors, form
ing dingy coats. Then teeth lose
their beauty.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the add in contact with the
teeth to canes decay. Germs breed
by millions In it. They, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Such troubles became almost
universal under old ways of teeth
cleaning.
Protect the Enamel
Pepsodent disintegrates the
film, then removes h with an
agent far softer than enameL
Never use a film combatant
which contains harsh grit.
So dental adence haa searched
for film combatants, and eventually
two have been found. One disin
tegrates the film at all stages of
formation. One removes it with
out harmful scouring.
Clinical testa have proved these
methods effective. A new-type

apply them daily. The aims is
Pepsodent.
Today carefnl people of soma 91
nations employ this modern
method, largely by dental advice.
The results will amaze yea

which research proved essential.

saliva, to better neutralize mouth
acids. It multiplies the ptyalin in
saliva, which is there to digest
starch deposits on teeth.
The quick result is a new con
ception of what clean teeth mean.
