"That little fellow is a live wire," one of the delegates exclaimed when National Chairman Hays was intro duced to the convention. The little Hoosier who guides the national or . ganization of republicanism lent ver ity to the old belief -that valuables come' in small packages Mr. Hays " ' did not disappoint the delegate who voiced his estimate of sire and viril- -ity. The national chairman had an incisive and earnest manner of de - livery. .He carried conviction of his worqs and won the heart of the con vention'. The delegates accorded a rising greeting to Mr. Hays when he stepped to the edge of the stage to begin his message to Nebraska re-' publicans. "Candidates, near-candidates and friends, I. bring you tidings of great joy j the republican party is reunited. God bless the boys who have come back and God bless the boys who stayed home and kept the home fires burning," he began, and every word j sounded as if it sprang unbidden from Eis heart , Some Hays Epigrams. He punctuated his address with these epigrammatic expression: "VVes need less profiteering and more volunteering." , "Business must have sympathetic consideration after the war or there '- will be oo business after the war. "Let us keep out eyes up to Him ra this travail that is before us." "We have-judgment, reason and righteousness in our platform."

The section referring to the ratification ., ui mo yiupuscu aiucnumeni 10 ire federal constitution, prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicating t liquors, and condemning a democratic governor for failing to include such a provision in his call for a recent spe cial session, won 'hearty applause. The reference to equal suffrage in state and nation also received unani mous approbation. . . Several speakers made special men tion of the national nrohibitorv fea ture of the platform. S. R. Mcfcelvie declared to the convention that he stood squarely on the platform, which accorded with his' sentiments. The declaration that English should be ' the exclusive language of this - country and should be the only' lan guage taught, in the public schools, touched a responsive note. . Keterenc to the war. me delegates rose to the occasion when Chairman Kelley read the sec .tion referring to a nonpartisan con duct of the war and the ifse of the ' best talent and leadership of all po litical parties.

The senator declared that no food products should be utilized for thi production of intoxicating liquors. Hammond tor ury ataie. Ross L. Hammond of Fremont told the convention that he is fully con vinced that nolitics has not been ad journed, but has just been convened. He declared that he approved ot tne national prohibition section of the platform. "The democratic party," he said, "came in on the slogan, 'He kept us out of war.' and now they claim this war as exclusively their own." He predicted that a treaty of peace will be written in the Potsdam pal ace, in the English language. Madgett and Prohibition. William -Madgctt of Hastings, an other senatorial candidate, related that state prohibition had .reduced drunkenness in his home town from 3,000 to, 50 per year. He made a point that if prohibition is good for Hastings it is good for the nation. . Olad t near Jeneris. Evidence o the popularity of A. W. Jefferis, congressional candidate in the Second district, was attested when the convention accorded him a rous ing reception. "To be a republican is to be a pa triot," he began. "The democratic party has gone one step further and has said politics has been adjourned. But the people will do the adjourning and Nebraska in November will, in my judgment, send republicans ito the congress. ! ! - The Next Governor.

To the north of the farm, up the long slopes leading to the woods, the Americans encountered the hercest exhibition of Germany s war science. The Germans laid down a barrage, which, it is said, was as heavy as had ever been employed. The American guns replied heavily. ' The order for the advance came and the line moved forward across the grain fields directly through the barrage. On a nearbv hillside the chief staff officers watched the oper ations. They saw shells fall, in some cases leaving long gaps in the line, but the troops nevier halted. On through theibarrage the Ameri cans went into the German positions auacKiiig nercciy uie macnine gun and infantry detachments. The bar rage died away7the Germans leaving the work of resistance to the men they had failed to protect with their heavy .guns. t The Germans were . mopped up and the Americans held their new line just east of the forest.

Ex Governor Morehead, candidate for United States senator, toon occasion publicly to flay R. L. Metcalfe, one of his opponents, for his attitude dur ing the -war. He declared that one should "beware ot one wno wraps the flag around him and calls him self a patriot." ; Governor Neville defended his ac tion inxnot advising the special ses sion of the legislature to act on the national nrohibitorv amendment. He contended this should not be done duV- incr the war. that no emergency exr isted, that the people should pass oni the question and that it snouui dc made an issue in the selection of the legislature this fair. The selection of chairman and sec retary of the state committee was left to the candidates.

Our duty is to offer dur blood and treasure without stint or limit to crush the beast of German autocracy." Following this paragraph 'was-a lengthy section lauding President Wilson and his conduct of the war and bestowing praise upon the sol diers in the trenches and the army and navy for its effort in defense of the nation. Great care was used in reference to war matters in which the state is directly concerned; the only para graph bearing on this subject read ing as follows: Democracy and the War. "When the resolution was intro duced in congress authorizing the president to arm our merchant ships to defend American lives and prop erty and the American flag against German piracy, it was a republican senator from Nebraska who opposed itand a democratic senator from Ne braska who led the fight for its adop tion. Again when the German pirati cal and lawless aggression reached a stage of war and resolutions were introduced i congress recognizing and declaring a state of war, it was a democrat in congress from Nebras ka who led the fight for America and it was republicans trom Nebraska who unanimously opposed it. -!

Following is the platform of the republican party, adopted today in del egate contention: 1. The republican party affirms and pledges again that sincere and unfal tering allegiance and loyalty to the country in this perilous hour of our history that it manifested more than 50 years ago when the life of the na tion was at stake, and we point with pride to the loyalty and patriotism of our party which has never faltered or wavered. 2. We stand behind our govern ment wiffibut reserve for the prosecu tions tne war until tne unconaitionai surrender of our enemies and we pledge everything we have to that end. 3. We send cheer and encourage ment to thejmen and women who are in the uniform of . the United States, and we congratulate them upon their splendid achievements which have won the everlasting ad miration of our country and of our country's allies, and which have brought new glory to the colors of our j rr t it'.. a nation, ine repiiDiican party, true to its traditions and ideals, pledges itself to the defenders of .our country's cause, that it Will protect and provide for the dependents of those who fell or are disabled in our country's serv ice. And we favor the men in the mili tary service having the first opportun ity to homestead public lands. 4. We denounce any criticism of public officials when such criticise is prompted by partisanship, malice or disloyalty: we shall defend courage ous and loyal service, but we shall also defend courageous and loval crit icism of inefficiency, incompetency and injustice. 5. We declare for nonpartisan con duct of the war and insist that the best talent and leadership to be found in all political parties be utilized in its prosecution. This is neither a re publican nor a democratic war, it is our country's war. And we appeal to all patriotic citizens to aid in our efforts to eliminate partisanship from war activities. Condemn Democrats. 6. We hold that patriotism and loyalty in our, country are not, and cannot be, party issues, and we con demn the democratic party for its persistent efforts to make patriotism and loyalty party issues between re publicans and democrats in the forth coming election. We denounce such efforts as putting partisanship above patriotism. 7. We are mindful of the fact that partisan issues which would impede or hamper the successful prosecution of the war should not be thrust into the campaign, but this should not be made a cloak to shield any party in a covert design to secure control of any department of the government for its own partisan purposes; and we call attention to the fact that un der the present organization of the national house of representatives the chairmanship of every important committee that formulates measures for legislation is held by a member from one section' of the country, and that under their direction and control the burdens of the government; have been largely imposed upon the north ern and western interests and sec tions. 8. We pledge the' republican party and its candidates to a program of sane preparation now, for the solu tion of the tremendous and complex problems which will present them selves after the war. ' 9. Wf condemn the democratic ad ministration for discrimination in its price fixing program and particularly for its failure to fix a reasonable price for cotton when it fixed the price of wheat. 1U. We reaffirm our belief m sound money and a protective tariff. 11. We denounce war profiteering which now, and has, since our en trance into the war, obtained in this state and nation as the direct result of the failure of the democratic ad ministration to enforce the present federal and state statutes, or to pass such additional legislation as would make profiteering impossible; and we point out ttiat criticism of profit eering by jhe democratic party am ounts to nothing more than an admis sion on its part of its own inefficien cy. Pledge of Economy. 12. We pledge the party to a pro- 1 gram of economy and efficiency in i this state. We condemn the demo- cratic oartv. which has been in control of the legislature since 1009, for its waste of public funds and its meth. cienr. administration oi siaie aairs unaer its aaminisirauon, covering a period of eight years, the burdens of taxation placed upon us for state purposes have increased from T ' . jtk yA 1 , An f i Inll J . control, to $v,oy,ip.w in ivt, unaer democratic control. 13. AVe favor the ratification of the proposed amendment to the federal constitution prohibiting the manufac ture and sale of intoxicating liquors in the United States, and we condemn the present democratic governor of Nebraska for failing and refusing to include in tne proclamation for the recent special session of the legisla ture the question of the ratification of this amendment. 14. We are in favor of equal suf fraire'iri the state and nation. IS. The party takes the position that the present employers' liability and workmen's compensation act should be improved and perfected. 16. It is the purpose of the republl can party to encourage the maximum production and the most efficient dis tribution of 'the rroducts from the fields and factories of Nebraska. . Congratulates Farmers. 17. We,congratulate the farmaxj of Nebraska tor tneir patriotic and un selfish efforts to increase the food supply of the nation, and we com mend the co-operative efforts of our farmers in securing a more economi cal distribution of their products, and we promise them our support. 18. We are proud of th develop . 7 Platform ment of western Nebraska through ir rigation and we favor legislation fostering the greatest possible use of the waters of our state. We favor the vigorous prosecution of the suit against the state of Colorado to pre vent the illegal taking of waters be longing to our citizens. 19. We favor the calling of a con stitutional convention. 20. We heartily endorse the em; phasisv being placed upon the importance of the exclusive use of the English language in America, and we believe that it should be the only language taught in our common schools. 21. We favor the enactment of such legislation as will insure to 'the state the development of its natural re sources, iircluding water power and potash deposits on a basis which will reserve to the people of,the state the public interests therein by retaining at all times the fee title with ade quate supervision and control. We hold that under existing con ditions in shortage of fuel and war demands for cheriiicals, both for mu nitions and for fertilization of agri cultural lands, any program which re sults either in retarding or obstruct ing development or in useless, expen sive and prolonged litigation con.;rn ing natural resources of the state, is against public policy and subver sive of the general welfare. 22. We favor the enactment of a civil administrative code in this state, rreatirtff a fmnnrlal anrl arrmintincr I system whereby a vigorous and, ef fective 'audit over financial expendi-. tures of the state may be established, and providing for the consolidation of the boards, institutions, commis sions and "different departments and agencies of'govefnment, thereby elim inating useless offices and positions and avoiding the overlapping func tions thereof and the creation of an effective budget system- to the "end that governmental functions may be j more efficiently and economically ad- j ministered.

The New York Globe has called upon Senator Hitchcock to resign as head of the swiate committee on for eign .relations. Under the heading "The Guliibles," the Globe said: The patriotism and the devo tion of Senator Hitchcock to the cause of humanity are scarcely open to question. Doubtless he sincerely wished to serve his time and generation. But, oh, what a gullible! He was easily ring-nosed and led around by.. the kaiser's Crude agents. He was a fislv that swal lowed not only the bait, but the line, sinker and pole. . .A good man he is, too. innocent , for this world I.
