nual registration of aliens were the
points in the early part of the plat
form which aroused applause. The
manner of the speaker clearly indi-
Gated that the committee ascribed
prime Importance to this declara-
tion. and the applause he invited
came in a measure only exceed by
that which greeted the anti-an-
archist clauses which followed
shortly thereafter.
The convention was evidently
waiting for the formal enuncia tion
of foreign policy about which the
turmoil mas teen raging for a week.
But the palpable tTuisms enunciated
with reference to Mexico evidently
impressed those he listened with
a sense of their fut!l.ty.

johnson stand Queer.
Whether it means that the Repub-
lican party stands for a league of
nations for the maintenance of
peace. or will oppose il in whatever
form il may be offered is a question
which Hiram Johnson and Murray
Crane will answer differently. while
both will maintain the plank as the
true expression of their views.
Senator Johnson is reported as
having declared that the league of
nations plank has put an end to any
excuse he might have for appealing
to the people. II has in brief, ac-
cording to his utterances today. put
an end to any probability of an in
dependent candidacy led by him.
Cynics may suggest that IL this be
, the fact. hostility to the principles
OF the league of nations must have

the turmoil he mas created has hith-
erto indicated At this moment the
significance of this cryptic utterance
may well be left for the searching
debate of the campaign.
Liberal Laughed Down.
With the dying away of the resO-
nance of Senator Watson's preora-
/ ton. the chairman announced the
presentation of a minority report by
Edward j. Gross. of Milwaukee
signed by himself" The implied
sneer Of the last phrase reused a
laugh which grew into such disorder
/ that the protesting delegate could
scarcely get hearing.
Mr.. Gross is a slender. dark young
man of a somewhat semi-type and
evidently subject to that infinity OF
| temper which too often interferes
with the fullest efficiency of reform
ers' efforts. He rebuked the con-
vention for its apparent unwilling

occasional original comments. his
