THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1920. PARTY PLANKS FIRM IN STAND nil ii i nni i Air a UN ALL rUUUICd (Continued from Page 2.) "The Service Men. We hold in imperishable remem brance the valor and the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of Amer ica who fought in the great war and the obligations which a grateful na tion justly should fulfill in apprecia tion of the services rendered by its defenders on sea and on land. Republics are not ungrateful. Throughout their history they have shown their gratitude toward the na tion's defenders. Liberal legislation for the care of the disabled and in firm and their dependents has ever marked republican policy toward the soldier and sailor of all the wars u which our country has participated. The present congress has appro priated generously for the disabled of the world war. The amounts al ready applied and authorized for the fiscal year 1920-1921 for this purpose reached the stupendous sum of $1,180,571,893. This legislation is significant of the party's purpose in generously caring for the maimed and disabled men of ,the recent war. Civil Service. We renew onr repeated declara tion that' the civil service law shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practicable. The recent action of congress in en acting a comprehensive civil service retirement law and in working out a wage policy that will guarantee equal and just treatment to the army of government workers and in central izing the administration of new arid progressive employment policy in the hands of the civil service corn mission is worthy of all praise. Postal Service. We condemn the present adminis tration for its destruction of the ef ficiency of the postal service and the telegraph and telephone service when controlled by the government and for its failure to properly com. pensate employes ' whose' expert knowledge is essential to the proper conduct of the affairs of the postal system. We commend the repub lican congress for the enactment of legislation increasing , the pay of postal employes, who up to that time, were the Doorest paid in the government service. Woman Suffrage. We welcome women into full par ticipation in the affairs of govern ment and the activities of the repub lican party. We earnestly hope that republican legislatures in states which have not yet acted upon the suffrage Anendment will, ratify the amendment to the end that all of the Women of the nation of voting ape may participate in the election of 1920, which is so important to the welfare of our country. Social Progress. The supreme duty of the nation is the conservation of human resources through an enlightened measure of social and industrial justice. Al though the federal jurisdiction over tect the welfare and interests of the nation as a whole. We pledge the republican party to the so'ution of these problems through national and state legislation in accordance with the best progressive thought of the country. Educationland Health. Convention Sidelights CONVENTION SIDE p?iwc . " Chlrat TrlboBe-Omaha Bee Lcaied Wire. Chicago, June 10. A white haired woman with a motherly face fanned herself slowly as she walked toward the Michigan avenue en trance of the Blackstone hotel. She seemed fatigued. She smiled when a reporter asked ler: "How does it look for Governor Lowden?" "I .don't like to talkpyou know, because he's my son-in-law." She was Mrs. George M. Pull man. "My," she. continued, "I do hope though', they nominate him. He's made' such attire, record as a war governor. And' if the people only know him like I d dear me." "I am for Gen. Wood first, then Governor Lowden,"' said Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, magazine writer and 'novelist, who passed through Chicago today. "Under np circum stances would I be for Hiram Johnson. ,, He is a destructionist, with no qualities of the construc tionist. Roosevelt smetimes de stroyed, but he did it the better to rebuild. I am against the Wilson ian league of nations, the anti-suffragettes and the National Woman's party picketing tacMcs. I am for the conservative wins of the suf fraget party." Mrs. RTnehart's was the most remarkable interview encountered by the reporter during the day. She didn't mention the weather either. The editor of the Casper (Wyo.) Daily Tribune is here to cover the convention for his paper. He is J.dwin Hanway. He says sub scribers in Wyoming no longer vox pop with six-shooters. . They write letters into the editor. When he left the circulation was 6,790. Mrs. Marie Estelle De Beck of the Chicago Society of Ohio Women, announced today that Harding is, the real dark horse, 'who never has knocked a single candi date. An engineer from Broken Bow, Neb., came to headquarters today and asked for Mrs. Harding. His name is A. R. Humphrey. Ten years ago, when Senator Harding was on a chautauqua tour, this en gineer invited them into his caboose and took them from' Grand Island to Broken Bow because' there were no other trains and they were to be late to a speaking engagement. "I just want to see her again. Don't suppose she remembers me." "I should say ; I do," said Mrs. Harding. "Tell him to comee back again if he comes while I'm out. I'd like to talk to h im, . and thank him for what he did for us 10 years ago." Prince J. Kudohio Kalaanianaole of the late reigning house of the Hawaiian islands arrivctitoday as a de!egate-at-large from there. He was accompanied by a ukulele. Samuel Gompers made the rounds of the presidential candidates' head quarters today. He met Governor Allen in the lobby of the Congress. They smiled ";nd chatted amiably for a few minutes. A picturesque personality at the convention was that of William H. Swett.' He is 85 years old. He is a cousin of the late Leonard Swett, Abraham Lincoln's law partner. In 1860 he sat as a delegate and man aged the campaign of Lincoln for president. Convention headquarters of the American Irish Independence league were established today at the Blackstone by John' E. Millhol land. The league is headed by Eammon De Valera, president of the Irish "Republic." , Harry M. Daugherty, manager for Senator Harding, said "I helped to get suffrage for the women of my state and I'm glad I did it." With him was Judge V. W. Van Fleet, Mr. "Harding's manager in Indiana. He refused to comment on the women and their vote, and snapped fretfully when he was asked. " t Well, if all the women do not remove their hats, all' the men do rot-?'refrain from smoking where there are signs that say not to. They puff away and blow thick clouds into the open faces of their ever-talking political sisters. Governor Allen's labor court plan is the most forward-looking piece cf legislation produced in Ameica in yers, said J. N. Atkinson, state accountant of Kansas. He believes the governor is the logical choice of. the convention for "president. In a few years, when they learn of its value, laboring men will insist on labor -courts modeled on the Allen plan, hdsaid. - We endorse the principle of fed eral aid to the states for the purpose cf vocational and agricultural train ing. Whereves federal money is devot ed to education, such education must be so directed as to awaken in the youth the spirit of America and a sense of patriotic duty to the United States. A thorough system of physical education for all children up to the age of 19, including adequate health supervision and instruction, would remedy conditions revealed by the draft and would add to the economic and industrial strength of the na tion. National leadership and stimu lation will be necessary to induce the' states to adopt a wise system of physical traiimig. The public health activities of the federal government are scattered departments and bureaus, resulting in inefficiency, duplication and ex travagance. ' We advocate a greater centraliz ation of the feder! functions and in addition nrgc the better co-or-c'ination of the work cf the federal State and local health agencies. Child Labor. The republican party .stands fbr a federal child labor law and for its rcgid enforcement. If the pres ent law be found unconstitutional or ineffective, we shall seek other means to enable conres to pre- . t - :i . r L :i .1 ?. u IIAiHon i ft Inliiafrii Women have special problems of employment which make necessary special study. We commend con gress for the permanent establish ment of the women's bureau iri the United States Department pf Labor to serve as a source of information tOjth-e-states and to congress. The principle of equal pay for equal service should be applied throughout all branches of the fed eral government in which women are employed. Federal aid for vocational train ing should take into consideration the special aptitudes and needs of women workers. We demand federal legislation to limit the hours of employment of women engaged in intensive indus try, the product of which enters into interstate commerce. Housing. . The housing shortage has not only compelled careful study of ways oi stimulating ounaing, - our u has brought into relief the unsat isfactory character of the housing accommodations of large numbers of the inhabitants of our cities.- A nation of home-owners is the best guaranty of the maintenance of se principles ot liDerty ana w n A nrArr unnn which our eovern- ment is founded. Both nationa, and state governments should ert- couraee in all proper ways the ac quiring ofs homes by our citizens. The- United States government should make, available tht valuable Committee Report Accepted; Nominate Candidate Today ' (Continued From First Fage.) Wilson to carry Utah and Idaho in 1916. . Mr. (Hilles of New York, a sartor ial niounment, arises and suggests a new rule--that if two seconding speeches are made for any candi date they shall be limited to five minutes each; if more than two, only two minutes a speech shall be given. "Hooray 1" is the yell from the Kansas seats. Minnesota, North Carolina and Missouri seconded the suggestion, and with few straggling noes it passed. With more .than a dozen candi-. dates to be named tomorrow, it is regarded as a grand little old rule. But it does not apply to the main speeches, some of which will"be brief and some of which wil ramble all over creation in traditional "the-man-who-" fashion. After ttjese preliminaries Chair man T nAerm Dnflmitiiif Vi rpnnrt pof the resolutions committee would not be forthcoming for another hour. "Cannon Cannon " shrieked the delegates. . Mr. Lodge .read a note saying the platform was just leaving, the Auditorium hotel in a fleet of taxis, bound for the Coliseum. "Cannon! Cannon!" screamed' the floor and the galleries. ','Mr. Cannon says he has a sick headache," said Lodge. "But I hear he is coming sure." Sure enough, "Old Uncle Joe" is right on the spot. N The movie men flick on the lights as the sage of Danville walks to the front. Storm of Laughter. "Uncle Joe" lifts from' the table a glass half full of water and holds it to the light. He contemplates it quizzically, much after the manner of one who wonders how much Wood alcohol is in the goblet. Never has "Uncle Joe" done anything more humorous, more comical, since the day at the state convention years ago when he shed his coat and col lar, dipped his hand into thewwater pitcher and grabbed a chunch of ice with which to swab his fevered brow. ' - As a mirth provoker he is even more successful than the time 10 years ago when Mr. Cannon, in a fit of abstraction, pounded the con- information on' housing and town planning collected during the war. This information should be kept up-to-date and made currently available. , . . Hawaii.. For Hawaii, we recommend: Fed eral assistance in Americanizing and educating their greatly dispro portionate foreien population; home rule and the rehabilitation ot the Hawaiian race. Launch McKelyie Boom For Vice Presidency (Continued From Flint Pace.) announced that he had attended a high school in Chicago when Lincoln was nominated and was present in the wigwam when the nomination was mavde. Norman E. Mack, former chair man of the national democratic com mittee and editor of the Buffalo News, came into - republican head quarters today under escorsof forj mer ambassador to France, Myron T. Herrick of Ohio. Mr. Mack, look ing very sheepishly at Herrick, sua, "1 serve.notice that I am on my way-to San Francisco to nominate the next president of the United States." "No," said Mr. Herrick, "Your tickets read too far, you had better stop in Chicago." Mrs. E. C. Stokes, member-elect cf the republican state committee from Nebraska, and Mrs. J. A. Line of McCook have been watching the proceedings of the convention since Tuesday and they propose to stay until the nominee is named. Past grand master of Masons of Nebraska, John Ehrhart of Stanton, was a newregistrant for tickets at the Nebraska' headquarters today. Mr. Ehrardt said that the nomination of Mrs. Weekes on the Nonpartisan league ticket would not affect the vote for Judge Evans irf the Third con gressional district, but might help him. " . Mrs. J. M. Trumble, president of the Catholic clubs of Nebraska, wired the chairman of the Nebraska delegation' from Lincoln that the Smith-Towner bill looking to ihe federation of education would be acceptable to the women Catholic voters of Nebraska. ; Mrs. Lulah Andrews of the state central committee and Mrs. M. B. Cameron were ente;tained with lead ers from other state, members of the council of one hundred, at a luncheon today at trie Blackstone, where Mrs. Whiteker Reid, Mrs Warburton and Mrs. Gifford Pinched were hostesses'. The in formal meeting of some two or threif hundred women was in honor of Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, who met the ladies informally. Wall Street Betting Light On Republican Nominee1 New York, June 10. Betting on the Chicago convention . result was light in Wall street today, the id? apparently being to await until events had shaped themselves a little more than at present. In what wagers there were Wood. Lowde".! and Hughes were the favorites. It was said .at the branch office c H. L. Horton & Co. in the Waldo; Astoria a bet of $5,000 to $10,000 ha-. been offered that Coolidge c Hughes would be the nominee atv. the bet had not been taken. St. Louis. 'June 10.

"Water, water brewed in the clouds," he says, and tosses it off after wishing the convention happy days, while Bryan in the press box, smiles benignantly over his nose glasses. The official joy maker for the convention takes Mr. Cannon's place on the stand. He tries to liven up an audience already on the point of exploding with pent up spirit. "I'm going to ask you to join' me in trying the 'Long Trail,'" says t!ie jazz artist. The galleries and the floor shriek, scream and hoot their disapproval. But the live one sings it anyhow, pitting a single voice against the roars of the multitude. Lodge plucks the golden voiced one by the. sleeve The singer tries "Smiles, Smiles," but evokes 15,000. guffaws. Drowned Out the "Gang." The band plays in one tempo, the singer pipes up in another, the crowd howls in all keys. He tries "Ha:l, Hail, the Gang's," but even this fails to move them, and they roar t;u louder. . So" they float him off the plat form on a wave of groans. Next moment the audience, on its own volition, is piping up with I'No-l bodyKnows How Dry I Am. They sing two stanzas without any aid. There are shouts of "Henry, Henry," meaning Governor Allen of Kansas; for Beveridge of Indiana and others.' Lodge calls on Georgia to name its national committee. It passed tn the first deal. The dele gation is polled, Henry Lincoln Johnson, a battler for Lowden, is declared elected. When it is put to the convention, the vote seems even ly divided judging from the sound, the gallery joining in-the vote. Lodge hits the desk such a mighty whack that he breaks the gayel, And it is then discovered that Georgia it self, and not the convention has the real say so. Johnson is duly enrolled as a committeeman. Then comes Committeeman Borah leading the grand march down the aisle. Arrives at 6:10. It was 6:10 o'clock before the plat form committee arrived. "Let's go," was the cry from the delegates. Finally. Senator McCormick cann out on the speakers' stand as the advance man of the committee. He was cheered. The tall Senator Watson next ap peared on the platform and a howl of delight went up. Chairman Lodge gave the hook to the song leader and Senator Watson announced he had the report of the committee on resolutions. He said he would move its adoption at the end of the reading.
