G. 0. P. PLATFORM ADOPTED AFTER MUCH WRANGLING * — Dramatic Scene as Wisconsin Delegates Make Appeal for Progressives, By PAUL R. MALLOX United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 12.—A platform, following „ completely the desires of President Coolidge, stands adopted by the Republican convention which will name the President as the party's standard bearer today. After hours of wrangling within the resolutions committee, the platform, was presented and adopted at Wednesday night's session. A mighty shout of a “yes" greeted the Question for adoption, a defiant shout of “no” came in answer from the Wisconsin delegation. And back of this defiant shout was the drama of the present convention. breaking of bonds that will result in an independent ticket being presented to the country at the Progressive meeting here July 4, and headed by Senator La Follette. One Dissenting Voice The spirit of this movement which gripped the huge cbnvention hall last night was perfectly typified by an erect, silver-haired and greybearded man who presented a cause that he knew was doomed to defeat. He was Congressman Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin. There was no bitterness in his mien or utterances as he faced the convention delegates, who, at times, hissed and booed him. His was a spirit of tolerance, of calm confidence. ‘ Socialism,” they shouted at the aged congressman as he read the Wisconsin platform, which he presented as a minority report to the ! convention. “Yes, they called it socialism when Wisconsin first advocated the direct election of Senators by the people,’ Cooper calmly replied. “Socialism” they shouted again. “Yes, they called it socialism when Wisconsin returned her first minority report in 1908,” the dignified solon responded again, "but every plank but one in that first protest is now the law of the- land.” Whether, they agreed with his principles or not, the galleries liked Representative Cooper. They cheered him. Prior to Cooper’s reading of the Wisconsin platform the convention had its first demonstration. The demonstration lasted about fifteen minutes and follow sd first mention of the name of President Coolidge by Chairman Warren of the resolutions committee. Ih’monstration for “Cal” The band played. the organ boomed, State standards were pulled up and men and women joined in shouting and heering as flood lights swept the hall. The Wisconsin delegation had no part in this demonstration. Every delegate sat silent in his seat. Singing started. From one part of the gallery* came: “Hail, hail, the gang's all here, “All except Wisconsin, “All except Wisconsin.” The voice of Wisconsin was the only voice of protest heard in the convention outside of committee rooms. Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indian* vigorbusly op>, posed the world court plank in the

By MAJOR HOOPLE LEVELAND, June 12.—8 y Jove, I feel ill at ease today. I made the acquaintance of an alternate delegate from some western State who had no regard for proportion in his statements. Egad, such a braggadocio! It was my misfortune to borrow a cigar from him for my match, in the lobby of the Cleveland Hotel. He started out by inquiring what State I represented, and I was at a, loss to answer, because I didn't ask him first, so we would not col-

lide should I have namjd the State he was from. He was a likable chap, except for his exaggeration. He claimed to be an expert on agriculture, a subject which I excel in qiyself, by the way. Well, sir, he began by telling how he took over a dilapidated acreage of farm land suffering from undernourished soil. In a season's time he asserted that he had the soil in such thriving condition, that the squash vines had the squash melons exhausted by dragging them around over the field, so rapidly did they grow. ”0 make matters worse, he said he couldn’t sleep nights on account of the noise made by the squash tumbling as they were pulled over the furrows. I attempted to reason with the fellow, by telling him of the time I was called upon to condition a farm in Wisconsin tha‘ had resolutions committee and for a- .me threatened to carry his fight to the floor of the convention. After the committee had adopted the plank, nowever, Beveridge announced he would voice no further objection. This left the matter of platform adoption purely a perfunctory arfair. After Chairman \yarren had read the document. Representative Cooper was recognized and presented his minority report. The delegates laughed when Cooper told them in advance he was going to move the .adoption of the Wisconsin platform, and when Chairman Mondell put the question it was howled down. Attacked Wife Twice; Sixty Days Because he returned to his home after being arrested on a charge of beating his wife, and administering a second beating as well as attacking Charles Zooke, a neighbor, whom he had accused of making advances toward his wife, Tom Gennal, 1310 Chocolate Ave.. drew* a sentence today of sixty days on the Indiana State Farm and was fined SIOO and costs.

reached a state of senility. The soil was so fanlished the angle worms were boring holes through the rocks for an existence. After a month's analysis of the soil I came upon a remedy that proved so remarkable, the farmfolk for miles around came to behold. I had the corn growing so fast and high, it was not safe for a crow Jo fly over the field. A stalk of corn would actually shoot up and hit a crow, rendering it unconscious. For a fact. When the delegate chap started to tell me of another experience

he had in farming, I decided to go before his stupid exaggeration became obnoxious to me. Later on in the afternoon I became interested in a delegate, mat I knew Dy his garb, was from Kentucky. One feature in particular that drew, ray undivided attention, was a suspicious looking bulge under bjjs coat in the vicinity of his right hip pocket. After following him for a few blocks, he inquired of me the way back to his hotel, and I graciously offered to escort h.m to the door. During the conversation which followed I had him smoke one of ny favorite Havana perfectos, and we became quite friendly. Before we reached his hotel, in a tactful and diplomatic way I had learned the true contents fcof his hip pocket. BAH! It was only a whiskbroom that he had taken from the Pullman smoker of the train he came to town on! Egad, what luck.

G.D. P. CONVENTION DODDER FIGHT ON KU-KLUX ISSUE Watson Given Credit for Heading Off Fight on Organization, By C. A. RANDAU ■Times Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 12. — j "There’s no sense in stirring up trouble, especially in a presidential year,” represents in substance the most effective argument that was used to head off an aryj-Klan plank in the Republican platform. The trouble is the Klan's political power. For proof of that power one has only to turn to Indiana, where Klansmen have captured the Republican organization. After Senator Watson, who is given credit for preventing an anti-Klan pronouncement, had reasoned thualy before the resolutions committee the arguments of R. B. Creager, anti-Klan loader from Texas, didn't sound expedient, and the committee proceeded to insert a banal plank that will hurt no one, especially the Klan. leaders lake Plank In fact, the Klan leaders now In Cleveland, including Milton Elrod and Walter Boesprt of Indianapolis and others, had let it be known before the platform was completed, that they -would gladly indorse such a plank as was adopted. Efforts of the Republicans to avoid offending the Klan and at the same time to curry favor with southern negroes, is making their position extremely difficult. Colored Committeemen For instance, they have made possible the election of negro national committeeman from two southern States, Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia and Perry Howard of Mississippi, Johnson having been the first negro ever seated on the national committee, and now that women obtain equal rights with men. | women delegates from the South have become an immediate possibility. How much of a hit this will make with Klansmen remains to be seen. Will Hays, though having r.o ! official connection with this convenI tion, was present at last night's session, occupying Harry News seat among honorary Vice Presidents.
