European crisis and Mexican situation
His positive tribute to the primary
fefectually ended all thought Of attack
ing lit In resolutions, and 1t was made
a matter for congratulations that
wherever Cummins' name had ap-
peared on ballot In another state he
had been selected as the choice of the
people of that state and would en-
fter the national convention as one OF
the three foremost candidates to be
considered.
Clark declared that 1t was evidence
Of further strength Of the Iowa can
didate that q majority of the delegates
in the national convention will have
been sent there by a vote of the people
in their primaries.
Notice was served upon the quaking
east that the Iowa convention backing
the Iowa candidate for president was
for preparedness. I'VE must prepare
for defense and peace, (" rang the voice
OF the chairman amid cheers. He de-
clared for a strong navy and coas:
defenses, and for the government tu
make its own munitions in order to
eliminate all motive for private profit
in promoting militarism
