as a Fighting Slogan
From q Staff Correspondent

COLISEUM, Chicago, June 8.-Oppo-
sition to the record of the Wilson Ad-
ministration and to Wilson's demand
for the league of nations without res
ervations were proposed as the fighting
slogan Of the Republican campaign in
1920 by United States Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, of sachusetts, at the
opening of the Republican National
Convention to-day.
Senator Lodge enunciated the great
issues that confront the country and
denounced the Wilson Administration
for its "watchful waiting" policy in
Mexico, its failure to enforce the laws
against profiteers and it's lavish expen
diture and burdens upon the taxpayers.
After the convention session the
committee on permanent organization
selected Senator Lodge as permanent
chairman, and the selection will be ap-
proved by the convention at it's session
tomorrow.
A record throng filled the great
Coliseum building when the convention
met. The 1000 delegates and their
$4,000 guests listened to the keynote
speech with an earnestness that be-
spoke grim determination to plan a
winning fight at the convention. The
audience seldom interrupted during
the hour and eighteen minutes in
which Senator Lodge exhaustively dis
cussed the issues and programs that
must be met and solved, but when the
Senator proposed HE kept US out of
peace as the campaign cry. they broke

"1n 1916 Mr.. Wilson won on the cry
that he kept US out Of war;" Senator
Lodge said. "He now demands the ap-

party and his administration on the
ground that he kept US out of peace
The convention was to have started
its work az II o'clock, but it was 1882
when Chairman Will II. Hays of the
National Committee, called for order.
He was greeted with cheers from the
$4,000 men and women in the great hall
when he stepped to the front of the
platform and received from Mayor j.

Mr.. Hays introduced the Right Rev.
Charles Edward Woodcock. an Episcopal
minister, of Louisville, KY, who de-
livered the invocation. The vast audi
ence sang "Amcrica," gave three cheers
for 'the greatest country on earth"
and the convention was under way.
Charles B. Miller, of Minnesota,
secretary of the national committee,
read the official call to the convention.
Mr.. Hays then spoke.

said, "the Republican party has met
