to outside points. He attended the
republican convention at Chicago and

1ahlHS up the problems confront
ing the country, Senator Watson
evoked applause by reading the
declaration pledging the party to the
discontinuance of "autocracy." The
platforms reference to Wilson's
dictatorial obstinacy and obnoxious
veto of Legislation" were applauded.
The enumeration in the platform
OF the various measures passed by
congress appeared to meet with
strong approval.
The platform provisions on the
farmers needs failed to provoke
much applause. There was more ap-
plause when Watson read the Sec
tion relating to the settlement of
labor difficulties. When he read
1--WE deny the right to strike against
the government" there was a loud
demonstration of approval.
Another cheer was raised when
Watson read: 1--WE are opposed to
government ownership and opera
tion of the railroads."
The plank favor resumption of
trade with all countries with which
We are at peace" which includes, of
course, Russia, was applauded So
was that one pledging the party to
the maintenance of an American mer-
chant marine. Loud applause fol-
lowed the reading of the plank decla-
ration that all ships engaged in coast
wise traffic and all ships of the
Amerncan merchant marine should
pass thru the Panama canal without
payment of tolls.
The demand for free speech, free
press and free assembly was ap-
plauded vigorously, and the succeed
ing paragraph declaring that no man
may advocate violence or the over
throw of the government, was
greeted with loud applause, most of
the delegates rising to cheer.
The woman suffrage plank de-
manding ratification of the amend
ment in order that women may vote
in the November election was given
good applause, in which the dowen
delegates Joined.
1t was o'clock when Watson
reached that part of the platform
dealing with foreign relations, in
Guiding the peace treaty and the
league of nations.
The delegates listened with keen
attention to this part of the plat
form.
Denunciation of the president s
Mexican policy came next.
Watson read the league of nations
slowly and with vehemence. Every
sentence in the paragraph appeared
to find favor with the convention as

necessary to bring about an agree

peace.
