and state achievements in admin
istrative and legislative enact
ments were put forward in ad-
dresses by Vice President Calvin
Coolidge as convention chairman
and by Senator Lodge and Gov.
Cox
Compared with former Repubh
can state platforms the platform
of 1922 was brief. Five planks
proposed by Joseph Walker, who
opposed Senator Lodge in the
Republican primary, were not re-
ported by the committee and Mr..
Walker was prepared to fight for
them on the convention floor. On
behalf of the committees it was
explained that if there were any
one of the five adopted it would
cast a reflection on Senator
Lodge.
Reviewing present day condi-
tions which he said constituted an
era of prosperity, Vice President
Coolidge asserted that they would
not have been possible without the
foundation laid by the government
in its economic policy at home
and its peaceful policy abroad.
Credit for such a policy, he said,
must go to the administration.
The promises of the Republican
party have been and are being
performed, he said, despite almost
obstacles, permanent protective
tariff law has finally been passed.
"This bill", he said "was result
Of a policy to do the best that
could be done under the conditions
as they existed.
The new tariff law was given
principal attention as cam
paign issue also by Senator
Lodge. "The great question to be
decided in this election is not
whether we approve or diSapprove
certain items in the tariff bill but
whether we are prepared to aban-
don the policy Of protection, de-
tlared Senator Lodge. In review
ing the administrations accom-
plshments the Senate leader re-
felTed to "an annual saving of
81 600, 100000 which this Republi-
can administration has made in
the routine expenditures of the
government, to passage of the
revenue bill which has reduced
taxes $818,000, 0,000-a fact to be
often overlooked", and to the
immigration restrictive law under
which he said the net addition of
immigration during the year end
ing July /, 1922, was $1,000.
eve have made, provision for
the refunding Of the foreign debt
but it is problematical how much
we will be able to collect for a
long time at least either in inter
est or prncipal".
The platform presented by the
committee on resolutions claimed
important achievements by Con-
gress devoted to strongest COM
mendation of the tariff and the ma
tional state administration.
"The rate written in the tariff
platform of 1922" said the com
mittee on resolutions, "is in accord
with the long established Republi-
can administration. We predict
under it such a return Of prosper
ity as has invariably followed Re
publican tariff revision.

platform the report of the resolu-
ton committee without change. 1t

TOURIST WHO

of Eureka, Nevada
Main Street

In describing his trip from Cal
ifornia to Salt lake City, Mr..
Steward tells of giving d lift to a
"hiking tourist" who confessed
that he had killed a Mexican in
a melee. The "hiking tourist" said
that the Mexican had plunged Il
long ugly looking knife into his
arm and to protect his own life
he had to dispatch the "greaser".
Then Mr.. Steward adds another
touch-not of grim fact, but rather
of humor-when he describes how

morning discovered that, together
with other members of the party,

 It was estimated seaboard ex- porters had purchased 100000 bushels of wheat here today and yes terday. One authority said this buy ing cleaned up the bulk of, the wheat taken on May delivery by Chicago trader. Another buIlish influence was the fact that no forced selling had followed yesterdays decline and tLat domestic crop reports from the southwest continued to tell of dam age from hot weather and from pre- mature rfpening. Besides. adyices from India said rains had been dis appointing. confined mainly to the west coast
