LODGES KEYNOTE SPEECH

c ENATOR LODGE, slim wasted dapper, elegant, erudite, - and most remote from the mental state of candidates of the Hiram Johnson ype made his keynote speech to the Republican convention which permitted him to talk 19 min before it capped hand. The speech long, it dreary replee with oraorica periods the of old fashioned oratoy and typical of the dying age which the senator represents.
 He pleaded for with Mexico He apologzed for the inactivity of the Republican He demanded the tncton of President Wilson and all his He League Natons with reservations brought ay to the point where President Wilson put it, when he sent his famous communication into the Democrats which met at Washington the spring. the great feast at which Democratic leaders all try were assembled.

NO INITIATION OF ANY PREFERENCE
 FOR NEW LEADER

(Continued from Page One.) today's proceedings were largely perfunctory, were in no hurry in coming and remained downtown ing their lines. Many of the im- portant figures of the convention, too. were engaged in the work of the resolution committee framing the platform.
 At 11:15 Chairman Lodge arrived on the platform with national Chair man Hays. A song leader tried to get the audience to sing the Long, Long Trail" but had a hard time getting out the voices. When he called for three cheers for the Republican party he had better luck.
 Chairman Lodge stepped out to the speakers space at 11:2O o'clock and he got three cheers also with a tiger. Dr. John Timothy Stone was today's chaplain. The convention stood while he offered prayers.
 In closing Bishop Stone led the audience in the Lords Prayer. The song leader was immediately on the job again and led in the Star Spangled Banner.
 They brought out a stout oak table for Chairman Lodge to whack his gavel on. He called for the report of the credentials committee. Chair man Duffield of New Jersey came to the platform to present it. The report recomm ended the changes decided upon at last nights meeting of the committee. MT. Duffield moved the adoption of the report. Robert R. Church of Memphis. who had been un- seated by the credentials committee, said he would not ask the convention to consider a minority report. 'I know I am entitled to sit,' said Church, but I shall take my fight back to Tennessee
 The report of the credentials com mittee was adopted without dissent and the convention next heard the re- port from the committee on perma- nent organization. It was present. ed by Governor Morrow of Kentucky, it's l chairman. As agreed upon it recom I meuded that the temporary organiza. 1 tion be nerna anent

 Tusla, Okla, reported that when it passed over that city the meteor ap- peared to be within a few hundred yards of the earth and that the lower and heavier portion was of a greenish blue color followed by a long wedge shaped tail As it approached the earth the report stated, the head ap- parently separated into four parts but remained together as a mass and during the last few seconds of the fall the southern sky was lighted with a blue green flash.
 c. B. Smith, an astronomic author- itay at Muskogee, said he believed the meteor was thrown off from des. troyed planet between Jupiter and Mars, as it appeared to travel from west to east.
