tical Basis.

sion here Endorsed the fourteen-feet-
through the valley project and nothing
less than that.
An uproar occurred on the floor
when Gov. Charles. s. Deneen of ILL.
nois mounted the platform and said
that if the convention antagonized the
federal government they would gain
nothing. and that the best thing to DO
was to wait the decision Of the federal
investigating committee.
This was followed by cries of mo,
no! We know what we want. Give us
fourteen feet and nothing less" de-
neen favors not more than nine feet"
and SO on.
In his address President william X.
Kavanaugh Of st. Louis bitterly scored
President William H. Taft, openly
charging that he was not favorable to
the idea proposed by the delegates,
but was a booster for his own little
old Ohio river. Kavanaugh's remarks
caused a demonstration, the like of
which has eve before been equaled
In the city of st. Louis, hats flying in
the air, men shouting, whistling, cheer
ing, and women waving han~dkerchiefs.
Prefacing his address of welcome
with a review Of the work Of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway AS
soication, President VIM. Kavanaugh
declared that the organization had
consistently opposed "the pork barrel
policy and had demanded that river
betterments be put on a practical ba-
