 Calvin Coolidge, open shop hero who is falsely credited with breakine the Boston police strike, and Charles C. Dawes, who organized an open shop facisti group in Chicago to break the building trades unions, jointly form the torp ticket for president and vice president of the United States on the ! republican ballot.
 Coolidge and Dawes, the latter be- ing affeCtionately nicknamed Hell IT, Maria, represent the most reaction ary anti-labor element in America. For the first time in many ears the re publican party openly throws the tra- ditions of Lincoln to the winds and frankly asserts that 1t is the party of organized capital. It openly, in its platform, turns its back on the farm CTS, the ex-service men and organ ized labor.
 The Coolidge campaign will have Fylenty of funds.
 llS VI. V. (OlINelllOl greeted with deathly silence the keynote warn ing of Temporary Chairman Elijah Burton of Ohio, who spoke of third party dangers"
 Burton's truest remark i'll his long speech of 1audation for President Coolidge came at the beginning. Sur rounded by the state party machine known as the Ohio gang, with the master-gangster Daugherty as dele gate and with the drippings of federal graft all over the Ohio party organiza- ton, Burton bland1y told the delega- tions form the other states and terri tories: '
 ''It is appropriate that repub-
 lican national convention should
 assemble in Ohio"
 Despite growing, unemployment, Bur ton said, and despite the depression among the farmers and despite the corruption in Washington (though not all officiasl are corrupt), "the heart of the American people is sound and the republican part ywill advance to more spe1ndid accomplishments, because "the peop1e-and all the people-have confidence in Calvin Coolidge"
 The only positive discord in the sweet hymns of harmony was the Wisconsin deelgation which looked with sour face on the c. O. P. steam roller and had copies of the La Fol 1ette progressive platform distributed to the reporters in the press section of the convention hall The platform had been presented to the resolutions committee by Rep. Harry Allen Coop CT of Wisconsin, but 1t was ignored as La Toilette platforms hafe always been by the regular crowd.
 Methodist Bishop Andehson of Gin cinnati, pra yed for national righteous ness but did not mention the repub-- lican siners by name in the good old revival style.
 A new record was established by ex- Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illin- ois, who having won the nomination for vice-president, refused to accept 1t. Senator Borah of Idaho likewise turn ed down the jo bof being a team mate for Coolidge.
 The platform follows completely the desires of Coolidge, the substitute offered by the La Toilette followers having been drowned in thunder ot "noes."
 Socialism.
 Congressman Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin presented the La Fol 1ette program. He was hissed and booed.
 'Socia1ism," was the cry of the delegates. /
 "Yes." answered Cooper, "they call ed it socialism when Wisconsin first advocated the direct election of sena- tors by the people" ..s.
 "Socia1ism," cried the crowd.
 "Yes," calmly replied the white haired congressman, ''they called 1t socialism when Wisconsin returned her first minority report in 1908, but every plank but one in the first | platform is now the law of the land
 The only demonstration of the con yention a1sted Is minutes, when Cool ' dge was nominated. The band play d, the organ boomed and the dele rates started to march, singing, Hail, Hail the Gangs All Here-all except all except Wisconsin.
 The republican platform as adopted demands American participation III he world court as opposed to the .eaeue of Nations. At the same time
