On Economy and n. C. Of L.
The failure of the administration to
retrench during the postwar period
and the addition Of thousands of swi-
vel chair warmers are derided and the
party pledges itself to a policy of
economy and a carefully planned re-
adjustment. The need of an execu-
tive budget and condemnation of the
presidential veto that defeated this
financial reform was coupled with
caustic characterization Of the man
ner in which the president, according
to the Republicans. clings to his war
time powers. Revision Of taxation
also is demanded.
Coming to the great issue of the
high cost of living. the committee
drew up a declaration to the effect
that the present conditions are the
hesult Of an imitation of the currency
and Of credit which the party pledges
itself to correct by defiation, the pre-
vention Of unreasonable profits and
the stimulation of private thrift by
change in the income tax law. The
party reafiirmed its belief in the pro-
tective tariff, and pledged the encour-
agement of an American merchant ma
rine by the application Of the work
mans compensation act and the ex-
emption from canal tolls of the mer-
chant marine
Profiteering was condemned, govern

ised In order to prevent monopolies. Re-
sumption of trade relations with every
nation with which America is at peace
was pledged. No changes were prom
lsed in the existing immigration laws,
but the bettering of naturalization
laws was pledged. and the party went
on record as favoring policy by
which American women who marry
foreigners shall not lose their citizen
ship. The governments authority to
deport and exclude undesirable aliens
was upheld, but assurance was given
that the rights of free speech, free
press and free assembly will not be
abridged.
What They Said Of Mexico.
A large number of minor topics were
handled In the platform, and then
came the plank on Mexico. 1t dealt
very severely with President Wilson's
policy and pledged that the party will
not recognize any Mexican govern
ment unles the lives and property of
Americans there are protected. Ar
menia came next In the list of planks
Deep sympathy was expressed for the
Armenians, but the president was
condemned for asking for authority to
accept an Armenian mandate and 1t
was added that the Republican party
was unalterably against the acceptance
of mandte for any country in Eu-
rope or Asia.
The men who fought in the great
war were assured of the party's deep
gratitude and were promised liberal
legislation for the care of the dis
abled. infirm and dependents.
Though William Jennings Bryan was
present throughout the entire life of
the convention with the avowed pur-
pose of persuading the Republicans
to insert 'dry" plank in their plat
form. he failed-possibly because the
timely decision of the Supreme court
seemed to render unnecessary any ex-
plicit declaration. The convention
merely declared that all laws should
be enforced, and let it go at that.
Women and Irish Displeased.
Two other elements also were disap-
pointed. These were the suffragists

Brief Speech
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1.-THE
aim of the progressive forces of the
country is to bring an end to inter
national anarchy, Governor James NJ.
Cox asserted In brief speech before
the democratic state convention this
afternoon, IN which he made another
vigorous attack on Senator Harding
and reactionary groups
Cox drew a parallel between the
stands that Senator Harding and he
have taken in Ohio during the last
eight years and brought the delegates
to their feet with cheers and applause
when he shouted:
Senator Harding still believes in
reaction; / believe in progress"

GOODS EXHIBIT
st. Louis Chamber Of Commerce Has
invited keokuk Chamber Of
Commerce to Send Products
of Local Factories.

Where Bulky Articles Could Not be
Shown Photographs VIII Make
Up the Biggest Part Of
the Show.

An exhibit of goods manufactures
m Keokuk will be made In St. Louis
under the direction of the Keokul
Chamber of Commerce. Where prac
ticaI the product itself will be dis
played, but where products are toe
bulky and take up too much room, the
use of photographs will be recon-
mended.
The exhibit is being sponsored by
the production bureau OF the ST
Louis Chamber of Commerce 1t is
being put on to show the products OF
the st. Louis trade territory, and the
st Louisans have especially invited
the Keokuk Chamber of Commerce
to participate.
Considerable space is being allowed
the Keokuk chamber. and the exhibits
are being arranged as speedily as pos
sible Products of the metal plants
IN Keokuk can be sent. while cement
mixers and other big machinery that
will take up too much room in limited
space will be represented with photo
graphs showing every phase of manu-
facture and assembly.
1t is felt by the Keolr1k Chamber
of Commerce that this is affording an
excellent opportunity for the exploit
ing of Keokuk made goods. There
will be ample opportunity for their
comparison with goods from similar
territory in Missouri and Illinois, and
1t will also give an opportunity TO
introduce Keokuk manufacturers 10
the southern cities and markets.
