easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is so
easy to become overheatsd on a

feeling Of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid

Who Addressed Republican Conven-
ton at Saratoga, y. Y,
This Afternoon
By .4ssoetatcd Press


Convention Hall, Saratoga Springs
y. Y, July 1S.-Patriotism and a
genuine expression of heartfelt SYM
pathy for the saddened family of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. which
had just given a beloved son and
brother TO the cause for which his
country Is lighting, was the feature
OF yesterdays opening session of the
Republican state convention.
Fresh from a grief-stricken home,
colonel Roosevelt, laying aside per-
sonal feeling, was the principal
speaker on the days program. Con-
sequently, the rival factions declared
"a temporary truce in their struggle
for partisan supremacy and gave the
day over 10 a rousing reception TO
the bereaved father and to enthusi-
aStiC patriotic demonstrations.
A plea for party unity in this time
of war, an unqualified Endorsement
of the war record of Governor
Charles S. Whitman and a declara-
ton that his administration has
beer clean, efficient and utterly
without scandal" and a most elo-
quent enunciation of patriotic prin-
ciples. marked the "Gaynote" ad-
dress to-day of former Representa-
tive J. Sloat Fassett, temporary
chairman of the Republican state
convention. Mr.. Fassett said the Re-
publican party had stood solidly be-
hind President Wilson in his wa
policies and that Republican repre-
sentatives and Senator'S have sup
ported the President and the ad-
ministra ton better than the mem
bers Of his party"
After cordially welcoming the
newly y-enfranchised women into Re-
publican ranks, Mr.. Fassett, in part,
said:
We have right to be proud of
the record OF our party in Washing
ton. Our Representatives have sup
ported the President and the admin
istration better than his own party
has supported him. our Republi-
cans representing us have illustrated
that the war is bigger than any
party.
After all. we are of one COM
mon mind on the great underlying
principles. We differ only in minor
matters in the manner of applying
the accepted principles"
A magnificent demonstration
greeted Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
the moment he entered the crowded
convention hall at 1928 p. m.
His entrance was drastic. A few
cheers and handclapping herealded
his arrival. Then the bands struck
up The Star Spangled Banner" and

of the main aisles on the arms OF
