in politics, and he knew exactly What
to say. His alluslon to President
Coolidge as the man to whom the
peopel looked for leadership, rather
than to congress, gave the convention
its first chance to break loose
Every mention Of the Presidents S
name was the signal for a demonstra-
tion.

tied upon Republicans in the present

gresham Burton, because on many
major questions their party has not

"As a candidate for the Presidency,

stronger than those by which the
angels fell, he has shown no truck

gone calmly and steadily on his way
unaffected by the lure Of expediency
or the promise Of success"
Mondell Is Chairman.
Frank W. Mondell, former congress-
man from Wyoming, was chosen per-
manent chairman. His speech was
short and was mainly a plea for a
Republican congress. Every seri-
GUS fault Of recent legislation and
every failure to round out a satisfac-
tory program could and would have
been avoided" he declared, had there
been dependable Republican majori-
ties In congress"
The first big demonstration of the
convention came when Co6lidge's
name was mentioned by Charles F.
Warren in the Introductory to the re-
port of the committee on resolutions. !
The delegates from Wisconsin, sole |
dissenters from the platform as pre-
sented by the committee, sat silent |

THE TARIFF

1--WE reaffirm our belief in the pro
tective tariff to extend needed pro
lection to our productive industries
We believe In protection as a national
policy, with due and equal regard to
all sections and to agriculture, in
dustries and occupations. 1t is only
by adherence to such a policy that the
we'll being Of consumers can be safe
guarded, that there can be assured to
American agriculture, to American
labor, to American manufacturers a
return to perpetuate American stand
ards of life.
"a protective tariff is designed to
support the high American economic
level Of life for the average family and
to prevent lowering to the levels Of
economic life prevailing in other lands
''It is the history Of the nation that
the protective tariff system has ever
justified itself by restoring confidence,
promoting Industrial activity and en-
plOyment, enormously increasing our
purchasing power, and bringing In
creased prosperity to all our people.
Raises Standard of Living
"The tariff protection to our indus
try works for increased consumption
Of domestic agricultural products by
an employed population instead Of one
unable to purchase the necessities Of
life. Without the strict maintenance
Of the tariff principle our farmers will
need always to compete with cheap
lands and cheap labor abroad and with
lower standards of living.
1.-THE enormous value Of the pro-
tective principle has once more been |
demonstrated by the emergency tariff |
act Of 1921 and the tariff act OF 1922.
"We assert our belief in the elastic |
provision adopted by congress In the
tariff act of 1922, providing for a
method of readjusting the tariff rates
and the classifcations in order to meet
changing economic conditions when
such changed conditions are brought to
the attention Of the President by COM
plant or application.

no chance whatsoever of passing the
Gordon in daylight. Indeed, for him
to appear upon any street, however
secluded, was dangerous. I con-

It was the most trying day of my

the murderer's brain. We had divid-

shade too equitable in the division. I

time, that he might as we'll have
