DEMOCRATS TO
SCORE PLATFORM
San Francisco CONVENTION Expected
to Attack Republican Document
With Appeal to the
People.

lIrnited Press Leased Wire Service ]
CHICAGO, June 11.-Many Of the
most important planks of the republf-
can platform today were expected to
bring direct challenge from the
democrats in their convention at San
Francisco. The republican platform
was adopted by the convention last
evening.
Democrats are certain to meet with
bitter denunciation the claims of the
republican platform that the last se5-
sion of the national legislature has a
praiseworthy record. They probably
will point to several recommends
tions of the president that congress
failed to act and seek to place the
blame for present conditions on this
failure. The hand of the old guard
seemed apparent to some extent, IN
the business and financial sections of
the republican platform and the
democrats probably will make an APP
peal to labor claiming the republf-
cans are controlled by reactionary
business interests.

fTynited Press Leased Wire Service.
COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June IL
The republican convention today
nlunged at once into the dramatic
business of nominating a candidate for
president.
The first nomination was that OF
General wood. AS the roll OF states
was called, Alabama passed and All
zona yielded to Kansas.
Governor Allen began his speech IN
behalf Of Wood.
The Coliseum was packed to the
roof as Allen, in strong voice, aud.
| rsle to the gallery, fought his verbal
| fight for Woods candidacy.
There was lot Of gayeling before
Chairman Lodge could bring the con-
yenti0u to order. NJ
I.odfe's kammering cont yltied for z
full minute before his voice could be
heard
The Rev. Johnston Meyer. Of Chi.
cago, delivered the invocation.
The session got away to gooo
start, although half an hour late. Lodge
first asked for order at 9:5S; at 9:59
the crowd was quiet. and at 10 a. m.
the chaplain was in the midst OF his
prayer. He prayed that the republi'
can platform might please the Al
mighty and that the choice of the
convention for president might also
be the choice of God.
After the prayer, Chairman Lodge
recognized H. Hampton Moore, OF
Pennsylvania, who offered a resolu
tion. The resolution provided that the
convention record its sense Of "inex'
pressible loss" in the death Of Theo
dore Roosevelt. 1t was offered al
this time because this is the first re-
publican convention since Colone'
Rooseyelt's death. The reading was
greeted with applause.
The cheering continued, so Lodge
could not put the question. The. noise
died down and broke out again.
The resolution was adopted by a
rising vote.
Open for Nominations.
Chairman Lodge declared the con
vention open for nominations. The
roll OF states began.
Alabama passed, and Arizona yield
ed to Kansas.
There was a great burst of cheer
ing at this, several large flags were
Produced and waved.
The state Of Kansas again cried
Lodge.
Governor Allen came forward to
nominate General Wood. He received
one yell of applause, then there was
general call for silence, and Allen
swung into his address.
Allen presented Woods case like a
man engaged in a vigorous argument
with an invisible opponent, There
was enthusiasm in his every gesture
and he cut right into the applause, ~
waiting for it to subside. Allen held
MS glasses in his right hand, his manu-.
script in his left and gesticulated with
both.
The first mention Of General Woods s
name passed almost unnoticed. It was
mentioned by Allen twice more In the

and Wood He held there was a sub
stantial difference between wearing
apparel as mentioned in the Lever act
and pieces of cloth.
The Lever act prohibits charging
excessive prices for wearing apparel,
which attorneys for the woolen COM
panies contend did not cover cloth.
Their contention was upheld by the
court.
The Judge held that since congress
did not broaden the term wearing
apparel to cover bolts of woolen
cloth, the court was unable to find
any other meaning in the act than
that given by the general trade to
the term.
The judge held that congress had
power to regulate distribution and
production of wooden cloth, but the
Lever act failed to do so.

CHICAGO, June 11.-General Leon
ard Woods record as governor OF
Cuba and as an administrator in
island possessions was the great
argument advanced by Governor
Henry Allen of Kansas, today when
.he presented the generals name To
the republican convention as can
didate for the presidency.
Allen quoted from Roosevelt, Elihu
Root and others to prove how highly
Woods insularN administration was
regarded.
! He also touched upon the generals
foresight and his initiative as dis
played in his warnings to America
to prepare during the world war. His
work with the training camps and
icantonments and his cheerful obedi
eflce to orders which kept him from
THE fighting front, also were touched
upon.
The governor also touched upon
the generals prompt assumption q.
control in strike and racial disorders
where, he said, order promptly sue

ingly yielded to his fair control.
There is witness of his service,
Allen said, asserting that the time
calls for an unusual leader and tina,
the choice now made when "restlve
minds are plastic" may shape the
government for fifty years or moro
to come.
"The spirit of practical devotion
which took him to Cuba IN company

raised it from its pestilences.' ..M
! Allen related that Wood also reor
ganized Cuba, made it healthful and
gradually permitted Cubans TO as
sumo control.
"A president must be a business
tman and more" Allen said, asserting
the demand for business man presl
dent will not be satisfied with the nam
ing of a man who knows only bust

of "a statesman who had not nns.
