Gen. Wood for President. He himself
has been mentioned frequently as a
possible dark horse" for the office II
a deadlock grips the convention.
Gov. Allen said he would go before
the resolution committee of the con-
vention in support of his proposal He
considers it vital that a plank cover
ing it be included. He is against any

Governors Contention.
IF the republican party does not go
on record in favor of putting an end
to the economic pressure, to give it a
polite name, which has been exerted
in industrial strife; if it does not put
an end to the old methods which take
the public by the throat and strike it
down, it will face defeat. If the party
seeks to bargain with any class it
means disaster. We will be common
towards if we do"
The governor said that he would not
present the Kansas plan. which is his
plan. but would seek to have the prin-
ciple that the public is entitled to
protection included in the proposed
plank.
''The Cunmins law provision doesn't
go far enough" he added. 1T is an
anti-strike provision. But we want a

nation in the world will depend upon
the proper solution of our domestic

President Wilson probably will remain
away from the Capitol when Congress

For years it has been the custom OF
the Chief Executive to go to the Capt.

outstanding bills before the presiding
officers gavels announced that the law

President Wilson's recent illness, it is
believed, will prevent him from bidding

demands were voiced in every section
that the government refuse to sign
the document, which Count Albert APP

One of the most bitter advocates Of
refusal to sign was former Premier
Stephan Friedrich. In the course of a
violent denunciation of the treaty last
week in the national assembly, he de-
clared, 1.-The sun Of the allies is setting"

Allies Demand The Kaiser

The Peace Conference has made a
demand on Holland to give up former
Kaiser William Hohenzollern of Ger
many for trial by the allied govern
ments. The charge is for a supreme
offense against international morality
and the sanctity of treaties.
The Powers briefly recall, among so
many crimes, the cynical violation of
the neutrality of Belgium and Lux
emburg, the barbarous and pitiless
system of hostages, deportation en-
masse, the carrying off of young girls
from the city of Lille, who were torn
from their families and delivered de-
fenseless to the worst promiscuity; the
systematic devastation of entire re-
gions without military utility; the sub
marine wal without restriction, in
Guiding inhuman abandonment of vic
tins on the high seas, and innumer-
able acts against non-combatants,
committed by German authority in
violation Of the law. of var
Responsibility at least moral for all
these acts reaches up to the supreme
head who ordered them, or made
abusive use of his full powers to in
fringe, or allow infringement upon the
most sacred regulations of human con-
science.
The Powers cannot conceive that the
Government of the Netherlands can
regard with less %reprobation than
themselves the immense responsibility
of the former Empror.
Holland would not fulfil her inter-
national duty if she refused to asso-
ciate herself with other nations as far
as her means allow in undertaking, or
at least not hindering, chastisement Of
the crimes committed.
The Allies demand was signed by
George Clemenceau, Premier of
France.
Those who were most strenuous
about hanging the Kaiser are now
blocking the way by opposing the
Peace Treaty. The United States
should have a hand in hanging this
greatest criminal of all ages.
