Platform ReactiOnary

Fourth, the platform itself. very
Ireactionary and meaningless except
for a few planks in which the aver
age voter is not interested, will cause
many voters to turn to the Progress

the times.
Fifth, the unheard-of blunder
made by nominating a man who had
already said that he did not desire
the nomination and then the nomi-
mating Of a second choice for Vice
President after the first had de-
clined the nomination. Certainly
Lowden did not consider it much Of
an honor to receive the nomination
for Vice President from This conven-
ton. He being a western farmer
may see the handwriting on the
wall at this time for next. Novem-
Der.
Fifth. the choice finally made for
Vice President. How many average
voters will Dawes appeal to. How
many western States can Dawes
carry? His nomiQation in itself VIII

First, the methods used in many
States to secure Coolidge delegates

gusted many honest voters and
caused them to decide at that time
to support the Progresaives.
Second, the attitude of the So

convention toward the acts of the
recent Congress. which differed from
the Coolidge view. will no doubt
strengthen the Progressives.
Third the insulting tactics played
against the Wisconsin delegates. the

had the courage to stand for their
principles when they believed them
to be right, the ignorant cries Of
Socialism when Representative
Cooper was reading the Wisconsin
planks TO the convention and his

hoodlum-like yells will afford splen-
old fuel to fire the onrushing Iocomo-
tive of the Progressives.
