PLA TFORM AS ADOPTED AT
GO. p. STATE CONVENTION

The Republican party platform
adopted by the State Convention in
session at the New Lyceum Theatre,
Baltimore, yesterday is as follows:
|. We declare our full confidence in
President Harding, and in the re-
markatly strong Cabinet of Reput :
licans he has summoned about him.
We approve the steps icing taken to-
ward the restoration of Constitutional
government and commend the con-
structive rebuilding and reorganiza-
ton of the structure of government.
and finance so badly wrecked during
the eight years of the previous Ma
tional Administration.
A Republican Congress has re-
duced the permanent military estab-
lishment while providing an adequate
civilian reserve; has effected millions
in savings; has passed the budget law,
and is methodically proceeding to re-
duce and reapportion more justly the
burden of taxation, the legacy, not so
much of the war itself as of the waste
in its conduct.
ii. We approve the declaration of
peace by Congress, and. the negotia-
ton by President Harding of a treaty
free from European alliances.
III. We look forward with conf
dence to the advancement of interna-
tional peace and the reduction of the
burdens of taxation through President
Harding's disarmament conference.
Women Welcomed
Nv. We welcome the participation
of women in the affairs of the Reput :
lican party and earnestly favor an
amendment to the State Constitution
granting them in every particular full
equality with men. We will support
all legislation which will promote the
welfare of women and children.
" We favor any changes in the
primary election law that may be
needed to make it more effective
means of promoting representative
government through the intelligent
expression of the popular Will, but op-
pose any amendments which will de-
prive the voters of this State, includ-
ing the great new body of women
voters. of their responsibility in pub
| lie affairs.
vi. We denounce the Ku Klux Klar
and all propaganda which appeals to
religious and racial prejudice. and
favor the passage and enforcement OF
all laws necessary to stamp out
masked violence. lynch law and
usurpation of the power and sover-
eighty of the State.
For Fewer Elections
VII. We advocate reduction in the
number of elections with consequent
saving of the enormous cost thereof

and suggest the entire feasibility of
holding county and State elections,
concurrent with Congressional and
Presidential elections. thus eliminat-
ing the present odd-year elections.
In conjunction with this we urge
the s.mplification of the ballot.
VIII We continue to demand the
repeal of the declaration of intention
and affidavit of removal acts-the
cherished trick laws of the Demo-
cratic State machine, which make il
difficult for bona-fide residents of
Maryland interested in her welfare
to gain and maintain the right to vote
Increased Representation
TX. In the campaign of 1917 the
Republican party promised annexa
ton to Baltimore. The manner in
which it kept that pledge. despite the
litter Democratic opposition. is an
al solute assurance that it sympathizes
with Baltimores present desire for in
creased representation in the General
Assembly. The party pledges its sup
port to such an increase as will be
fair to the city and at the same time
safeguard the rights of the less popu-
lous rural sections of the State.
We propose that Baltimore city shall
lie entitled TO a Legislative district
for each portion of its population
shall equal the population of the most
populous county in the State, and tina
each district so constituted shall lie
entitled to one Senator and one mem
er of the House of Delegates for each
10000 of the inhabitants of said dis
trict; provided, however, that under
no conditions in the future shall the
representation of Baltimore city in
either Senate or House of Delegates
exceed 35 per cent. of the member
ship in either body.
Board OF Parole
X The work of the Board of Pa
role should be assigned to the Board
of Prison Control and the Parole
Board and its field officials abolished
The budget act as it stands is not
complete. 1t checks extravagant ap-
propriations ty the General Assembly
tut does not prevent wasteful expendi
lures of funds which come directly
into the hands of various State de
/ partments: nor does it prevent thu
Governor from diverting budget ap
propriations to objects, such as sal
ary increase and new salaries NO
contemplated by the Legislature. w

ceipts to be paid directly into tn

to be made directly from the Treas

In Italy the tide Of anarchism and
BolshevIsm. which has for the past
year been steadily ebbing throughout
Europe. is now completely spent, says
the London Daily Mail. Italy has re-
covered as marvelously and as glorl-
ously from this subterranean attack
as she recovered from the Hun onset
at Caporetto. Her friends may well
congratulate her not only on the vic
tory of the forces OF order within her
territory, but also on the example
which her people have given to the
world. Civilization when 1t is cour-
ageously defended is infinitely strong
much stronger than its dishevelled
assailants dream.

HEALTH HINT,


The skin of our bodies, with It's mil.
lions of pores or openings, scattered
everywhere upon its surface, acts like
"a yentilator and heat regulator. The
human body, on an average, dlsposes
of about 20 ounces OF water daily by
means of the skin. We call this per-
SEPARATION. The dried or dissolved
fluids are left upon the surface Of
the skin, and the chief use Of bath
ing Is to remove them and keep the
pores open and active From child
hood we have been warned against
bathing too soon after eating, and for
exactly the same reason hard physical
or mental work just after eating
should be avoided. Most animals I'M
der our observation, rest or sleep d.
rectly after eating, After having eaten
the stomach sends out q hurry call
upon the blood to come and help 1t In
the work of digestion and the blood
responds by a rush to the stomach.
Complete digestion takes from one to
four hours, and If bathing is INDUCED
In too soon II Is easy to see that the
blood Is drawn to the surface of the
body by the heat or cold Of the water
used, and by the brisk rubbing which
Follows. Thus we are taking from
the stomach the assistance 1t needs IN
one OF the important functions of life
we are really interfering with and re-
tarding digestion.
