NATIONAL CONVEN-
TON in SESSION
The Question of the Vice President
ial Nomination Undetermined.

~4CLEVELAND, June 10.-In an at
|m0sphere of quiet deliberation, the
Republican party today began here
THE national convention that will
nominate Calvin Coolidge and pledge
a reconsecration to the cherished
fundamentals Of Republicanism.
The question of the vice president
ial nomination alone remains unde-
tssmined among thk major issues
OF the convention, but the move to
draft Frank 0. Lowden appeared to-
night to be waning with a commen-
surate gain in strength for Herbert
Hoover.
The insistent supporters of the
former Illinois governor almost lost
hope when they heard that he had
sent to Cleveland letter of irrevo-
cable declination, to be opened and
read to the delegates if an attempt
were made to stampede the conven-
ton into nominating him.
The heynOte Address
Most of todays session was given
over to the keynote address by Theo-
dore Burton, of Ohio, notable for its
serious and dispassionate tenor and
it's lack of forensic display and built
around an appeal to the party to up
hold the hands of the man in the
White House.
There was little of the usual con-
fusion and none of the riotous noise
making that often has played SO
great part in American political
history. Only three times was there
any approach to demonstration
ard in each case the cheering was
awakened by play upon the cord of
patty solidarity and Republican tradi-

The Biggest Outburst

The greatest outburst, Lasting but
q minute, took place when Mr.. Bur-
ton declared the country trusted Cal
win Coolidge above Congress and
pleaded for the election of senators
and representative who would work
and vote within the party fold.
The convention came to its feet a.
gain when Secretary Mellon whose
tax plan was torn to tatters in Re-
publican Congress, arose to make a
routine motion relating to convention
organization.

SENSE FROM CONGRESS.

This IS no time for hair-split- ting contentious concerning the di- viding line that separates the domain of the executive branch of the gov ernment from the legislative branch. A great crime has been committed. The structure of our government rocks upon its very foundations in consequence of the revelations which have been made. The only way to restore to our government the con indispensable to its stability and per petuity, is to follow every man guilty of the crime with the utmost rigor of the law and to drive from public office any man who either by conni- vance or supineness permitted and al lowed this great crime ot be com mitted. .'-Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, in speech on Teapot Dome.
 There should be no privileged class Tn these United States. No principle of taxation Is more gener- ally accepted today than that taxes should be levied in accordance with ability to pay, and all citizens should pay 1n the same manner in proportion to the wealth they possess. That is fair and equitable and anything that violates 1t is contrary to justice and public policy. Representative Eu- gene Black of Texas, in discussing tax-exenpt securities.
 Invisible government is the curse of American politics. For nearly half a century it has baff1ed the pro- gress of our free institutions; 1t has nul1ifed the solemn yer dict of the people recorded at the bal lot box. Surreptitiously 1t purchases the talents of men of influence in all political parties to espouse and pro- mote it's greedy and selfish ends. It supports corrupt, not party, politics" Senator David l. Walsh of Massa- chusetts in discussing Teapot Dome scandal

 Conditions such as these find dis favor in the eyes of Frank E.

 "It is the only thing which can do away with existing evils" he says, "and southern manufacturers can at tribute their present realization that child labor is unproftable, to opera tion of the now defunct federal child labor laws. These laws were bless ing to the manufacturers and to the child, and should be revived"

Be Polite Now as
Company Is Here

Now is the time TO be polite on
the highway. Company has arriy-
ed.
This is the suggestion to motorists
being brOadeasted by the Automo-
bile Club of Southern California in
an effort to show visiting motorists
that Southern California not only
has the greatest number of auto
mobiles in the world in proportion
to population, but also is the home
of the most courteous drivers.
July has brought high peak in
motor tourists from everywhere.
These stranger drivers not only are
with the roads, but with
local ordinances, so they are liable
TO become confused at times or
need help. Nothing contributes so
much TO the pleasure of touring as
courtesy, SAYS the auto club, and
if these tens of thousands of visiting
motorists find themselves among
careful and courteous population,
the charm of Southern California
will be more impelling and the po-
pulation increase will come in
greater ratio.
