In the decoration Of the conven,
ton hall the managers have abidcn
by the long established custom OF
relying exclusively on profuse display
of the American flag. Four years
ago this custom was departed from
in the use of gold and white bunting,
but the cost was found excessive tins
year. C. R. Hall, superintendent OF
the coliseum, who is in charge OF the
decorations, has used hundreds OF
big and little American flags to COM
pletely cover the girders and IRON

All the ushers and doorkeepers will be
overseas soldiers, sailors and marines,
working with military discipline under
the direction of former army officers.
BY this system the national commit
tee hopes to avert the over-crowding

persons stormed the doors, forced
their way past the unframed door
keepers and preempted seats for
which they held no tickets.
1000 SEATS ON PLATFORM
The speakers platform at the south
end of the building will provide seats
for the officers of the convention and
members of the republican national
committee. Behind this is raised
platform with 1000 seats for the use
of presidential candidates and other
distinguished guests. On either side
of the speakers platform, extending
across the building is press section
containing SIS seats for working
newspaper men.
Tickets for spectators have been di-
vided among the national committee

to the state representation in the con-

months it appeared that he. would
again be able to overcome the inroads
and become his old self again. Indeed
at this time his friends believe that
he still would be with them, had he
not insisted on going back to Wash
Ilngton to represent. the American
Legion and the district in its fight for
! the All-American canal and the soldier
settlement idea. With knowledge
| more certain than before that this
sacrifice for his comrades would mean
his death, he cheerfully made the trip
The three or four months of nerve
racking labor in Washington in
winter, had but one result, the end
that he had foreseen.
His return to Imperial Valley re-
vealed the fact that he was but a
shadow of his former self. From here
he went to Los Angeles where slowly
but surely his death conquered the
body. but not his spirit.
GLORY PATH TO GRAVE
AS he lay on his deathbed Sunday
evening. Mr.. Nelson's thoughts were
of others, not of himself To him
death brought no fear or no sting
Anxious as he would have been to
again take his place in the world he
knew that death contained for him no
fear. The Great Adventure was
waited calmly and quietly although |
pain was intense Just before he died
he asked those at his bedside to re- !
member him to his friends in Imperial !
Valley.
Arthur NJ. Nelson gave his life to
his country, just as truly as if he had
lost it on the fields of Flanders. He
gave his life tohisc omrades in the
army after the war had been miracu-
lousy survived because of his intense
desire to be of al dto others, to do
worth while in life. Of
him it may be said in all sincerity.
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave"

With less than 10000 visitors seats
to be distributed, the committeeman
had received more than $4,000 re-
quests for tickets weeks in advance
of the convention.
HUGE SUM RAISED
The Chicago convention committee,
of which Fred w. Upham, republican
national treasurer, is chairman, raised
$150,000 to bring the convention to
Chicago. The high cost of everything
has hit the convention. Music, which
cost $4,000 for the entire convention
in 1916, costs $1,000 a day for a band
of SO pieces this year. Other expenses
are in proportion.
The republican nationa, committee
moved it's executive offices to the
coliseum several weeks in advance of
the convention. Adjoining the main
building is an annex connected with
the coliseum proper by several broad
arches and entrances. Here are To-

tive offices, temporary hospital in

Funeral services over the body OF
Arthur NJ. Nelson, Imperial county's
first development agent, who gave
his life for his country and his fellow
comrades in the American Legion
and who was summoned by the grim
reaper who sooner or later comes to
all, Sunday evening in sanitarium
at Pasadena, were held this noon from
the undertaking parlors of Alvarez
and Blue.
Buren, Fits, commander of Mr..
Nelson's company in the world war,
was in charge with members of an
American Legion post in Los Angeles
assisting. At the funeral were repre-
sentatives of Boyce Aten Post, No. 25
of which Mr. Nelson had been such
an active member. President Vaughn
Thompson and John Kepley left last
evening. J. P. Hertel was already in
Los Angeles and with Mr.. and Mrs.
Don c. Bitter, close friends of the
deceased and Mr.. and Mrs. O. B. Tout.
these Imperial Valley friends paid
vallel's most noble characters.
All posts of the American Legion
in Imperial Valley sent floral tributes
as the last tokens of friendship pos
sible of exhibition.
DISDAINED EXEMPTION
Coming to the Imperial Valley
number of years ago because of his
health. Mr. Nelson entered newspaper
work here and was later appointed
the county's first development agent
In this capacity he became the biggest
booster the county has ever mad. The
warm dry sunshine of Imperial Valley
stayed the progress of the tubercu-
losis of the glands of the throat, for
such it was, until outward evidence of
the affliction within disappeared.
At the call of war, Mr.. Nelson dis !
daining to ask for exemption because
of the condition of his throat. went
with the rest, although physically I'M
able to accomplish the marches and
fighting, which he was called on to |
do.
Even as he entered the army, he
knew that he was throwing caution !
to the winds and that his life would
undoubtedly be the penalty for his
fervid patriotism, which refused to let !.
his brothers in arms fight for him.
In the Argonne and at Chateau
Thierry, the dread disease. dormant /
for years, was reawakened by the /
damp fields of France, upon which he /
was obliged to lie. From then on his !
life in the army was one of fortitude t
and his never ending battle against
overwhelming odds. /

Wakefield the Dodge Brothers deal
er In this city. A telegram from G. w.
Matheson. acting general sales man
ager TO the local dealer, reads:
Dodge Brothers policy has
ever been to give full value for
the price asked. There will be
no reduction In the present price
OF Dodge Brothers motor cars.
Newspaper reports to the con-
trary are absolutely untrue"
Dodge Brothors announcement
was no surprise TO u.s." said Mr..
Wakefield. "In fact II is only q sub
stantiation OF Dodge Brothers bust
ness principles. At no time have they
ever demanded an excess amount for
their product. As In the past, they
will continue In the future to do
mand q fair return 10 rtheir efforts"
The mere fact that the demand
for Dodge Brothers motor cars II
still greater than the supply. despite
the great expansion program at the
factory, has absolutely nothing to do
with the decision to continue the pre-
sent prices. In marketing their car
Dodge Brothers have never made .
point Of price and will never sacrl-
flee the quality OF their product to
enter price competition. ADV. 1ts
