Omission of Plank
In G. O. P. Platform
Alarms Dry Forces

CHICAGO, July 17.-The law and
order plank adopted by the .Repub-
lican national convention has been
lett out of the platform as issued
from the Republican headquarters
here, Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman
of the prohibition national commit
tee. said today.
Hinshaw, ''are thunderstruck by the
failure of the Republican platform
issued by the national committee to
embody the law enforcement plank
adopted along with other planks by
the unanimous vote Of the Republic
can national convention.
Clinton N. Howard, representative
of the prohibition national commit
tee, and William Jennings Bryan, sat
in the Republican convention and
heard this plank read in advance of
it's adoption, which followed with
out dissenting vote. 1t was pub
the big papers of the land.
yesterday I went to the head
quarters of the Republican national
committee in Chicago, and Captain
Victor HeintZ, in charge, admitted
the omission and said he was TAX
ing the matter up with the authori-
ties in New York in order to ascer-
tain the reason for leaving it out"
The plank referred to by Mr.. Hin
shaw was this:
THE equality of all citizens under
the Republican party. Without obedi-
ence to law and maintenance of
order, our American institutions
must perish. Our laws must be i'm
partially enforced and speedy justice

100000 ARE
AFFECTED IN U.S..
BY YEARS STRIKES

WASHINGTON, July 1-.-Approxi-
mately 100000 workers were affect
ed by labor controversies, strikes and
lockouts in the United States during
the governments fiscal year, which
ended June 80. it was estimated i'm
officially here today on the basis of
reports now being. prepared for Di-
rector Hugh KerWin, of the conctlia-
ton bureau, department of labor.
The reports when completed will
show that the bureau was asked to
mediate in a total of 500 cases, in
volving approximately 1855 900 work
ers, Mr.. KerWin believes, or about
half the number involved during the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1919.
The estimate for 1920 indicates that
workers lost, roughly, SITS. 100000 in
wages, assuming an average wage of
SIS and total of ten days lost for
each.
The loss to employers would be
about 100000 900 in value of produc-
ton curtailed, if wages represent one
quarter of the value of the product
The steel strike alone is estimated to
have cost the workers approximately
100000 a day in lost wages. Wage
losses of the outlaw railroad strikers
are believed to total nearly as much
as those of the steel strikers.

switched to Cox at the psychological

GOV. DORSEY AND
!. !. BROWN MAY
RUN FOR SENATE

Governor Hugh M Dorsey and j.
]. Brown, commissioner of agricul-
ture, both have under consideration
the question of running for the Unit
ed States senate.
The governor has received several
petitions from various parts of the
state requesting him to run. He is
giving them consideration, but does
not intend to act hastily. 1t is also
understood that he wishes to confer
with some of his close associates
who went to the Democratic conven-
ton at San Francisco and have not
yet returned.
Commissioner Brown is in receipt
of a petition signed by more than
1900 voters of Ebert county, paying
high tribute to his work for the ag-
ricultural interests of the state and
proposing to promote him to the
United States senate. The petition
was delivered to him in his office in
the capitol by delegate of Ebert
county friends a few. days ago He
did not mention the matter to the
newspaper men until Saturday, when
he stated that he was giving it con-
s1deration. The petition insists upon
being allowed to enter his name as
senatorial candidate.
Senator Hoke Smith is at the
Piedmont hotel and is comforting
daily with friends from over the
state. His supporters consider him
stronger than ever before, Snd want
him to make the race. The general
impression is that he will be \ can
dIdate, but he has not yet ISSUE any
staten ent himself.

in the east, especially in China and

obscure The theory is that a slave
owner named Dixie emigrated to
slaves looked upon their old home
as a sort of paradise and celebrated
it in their songs as Dixie Land" In
time the n%Sne was transferred to
their new homes in the south and
became a general term. Another
theory is that the name was derived
from the Mason and Dixon line.

feet again?
IA. During the war. one-third of
all Belgian factories were destroy
ed and more than 1900 miles of
railroad and 1,400 bridges were
rendered useless. AT present Belgian
factories are averaging three-fourths
of their output before the, war, and
the railroads are operating so per
cent of the normal number of
freight trains, and so per cent of
the number of passenger trains.
The output of coal actually exceeds
the rate of production of 1913.
