"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.

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.

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.

vention stenographer's bonnet, which
had been left on , the table, into a
wreck with the gae(.
"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.
Receive Bids for Ship.
Washington, June 10. Bids' for
