From the Sacred Goldfish

Chicago, June ll-Character-
izing Gov Calvin Coolidge. of
Massachusetts, as a man who be-
lives that obedience to law is lib

Platform Ignores League

Chicago, June 1.-THE Repub-
lican party will enter the 1920
campaign without being commit
ted to the League of Nations.
Late Thursday afternoon the
full Committee on Resolutions
adopted with but one opposing
vote-that of the member from
Wisconsin, compromise plank
that appeared to meet with the
approval of the leaders who had
been contending here regarding
what should be said on the Lea
que issue.
That the course was chosen
with the the full knowledge that
a large contingent in the conven-
tion-and throughout the coun-
try-favored ratification of the
League of Nations with some
thing akin to the Lodge reserva-
tions, and for the purpose of pre-
venting a bolt on the part of such
"bitter-enders" as Senator VIM.
E. Borah and Hiram w. John
son and their ardent followers,
will not be denied.
There was little or no attempt
at "camouhage" after the agree
ment on the League question was
reached at an early hour Thurs
day morning.
Something evidently had to be
done to please the Borah- Johnson
element.
The compromise which Senator
Borah said was entirely satisfac-
tory to him and to men of his
belief on the treaty. has brought
joy to the leaders of the party in
that it assures them that there
will be no split here on a declara-
ton of principles.

JOHNSON QUARTERS
A VERY BUSY PLACE
What Richmond Man Returning
From Convention, Has To
Say About the Affair

Chester Green, Richmond busi-
ness man, just home from Chic
ago, where he made trip COM
blnlng business with pleasure,
said the headquarters Of Hiram
Johnson was the only place he
found that there was any great
signs of life, and that there were
more busy men there than at the
National Republican Convention,
proper,
Il heard the Lodge keynote
Speech said Mr.. Green, "and
there was no moer to it, in my es-
timation, than the ordinary ad-
dress, and there was a decided
degree Of quietness there in the
convention hall, but at the John
son headquarters, there was much
hustle. | never saw as many
women in attendance az a con
vention in my life, although |
have not attended many. 1t oc-
ours to me this thing is really
money affair, and I would like to
see the old time election.
1T has come to a point in this
country when the average man
will have to stop and think-not
pay any attention to the money,
but the man. The time is now
ripe for action from the heart
and not the pocketbook. [ am
speaking in an unprejudiced way.
when | say that the amount of
money contributed for this nom
ination is ridiculous. Think of
the amount Of money spent for
the nomination alone! If it costs
more than a million to nominate
a man, what will it cost to elect
him
"At many of the hotels the pic
ture of Lowden is to be seen. In
a number Of instances, | saw
big dollar mark across the PIC
ture. not only saw this once,
but III many instances. | called
a number of peoples attention to
it, and all of them, one after an
other, just laughed, making no
comment. 1t is rich piece of
work, this election business now.
| would like to see the old fash
ioned kind, where the parties
have their flag rasiing, then go to
the polls and vote, then go home
and await to see who has been
elected.
II saw but two men from Rich
mond besides myself, there. The
Iare J. N. Hendren and B. L. Be
lue. They are still there. The

mitted from the roadway through the
