REAU EXTENDS TO
EVERY STATE

Minneapolis, MINI. = Announce
ment was made today of plans TO
extend the scope of the Speakers
Service Bureau Organization 10
include members in every state Of
the union and every province Of
Canada.
The Speakers Service Bureau,
Duley Bldg, Minneapolis, a non
profit educational service, con-
trolled by organized labor, already
has members in 30 states of the
union and 7 provinces of Canada.
The institution, but a few months
old, was founded by H. H. Breach,
International Vice-President, Flee
trical Workers Brotherhood, and
NJ. H. Hedges, labor journalist,
formerly a college teacher. 1t is
supported by cooperative, central
labor bodies, and individual men,
berships.
The program mapped out calls
for the training of speakers in the
labor unions through the Breach
System, a simple, interesting meth
cd in effective speaking, developed
by Mr.. Breach. The Speakers
Service Bureau, is equipped with a
trained corps of workers capable of
supplying these speakers, and the
union organizations to which they
belong, with reliable data on
wages, cost of living, public owner
ship and all other industrial ques-
tions. The Bureau is prepared to
head a movement to create So
ciety of speakers equipped with
facts and arguments within the
labor movement.
The Bureau has won recognition
and support locally and nationally
from labor editors, international
officials, and labor bodies.
In many instances, labor unions
are enrolling their members as stu
dent members of the Speakers
Bureau.

L0Wden Declines.

Cleveland, Ohio.-lt required only
one roll call to formally confer upon
Calvin Coolidge the republican nomin.
alton for the presidency. Charles G.
Dawes OF Illinois was nominated for
the vice.presidency after the conven.
ton had nominated Frank o. Lowden,
ex-governor Of Illinois, and he had re.
fused to accept There was really
no contest at all for the first place on
the ticket, for it was foregone
conclusion long before the gavel fell
on the opening day of the convention
that no other candidate would receive
serious consideration, and he was nam
ed TO head the ticket by one of the
largest maiorities ever given by a
republican national convention.
No other name was formally placed
before the convention, but twenty.
eight of the twenty nine Wisconsin
votes and six from North Dakota were
cast for Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette,
and ten South Dakota delegates, fol,

ton for Weep President.

Mr. Mondell read the convention the
telegram he had received from Mr..
Lowden.
Then the chair recognized Lawrence
Y. Sherman of Illinois In behalf Of
the Illinois delegates he moved that
Lowden's declination be accepted.
The convention adopted the motion
with some scattering noes. The CLERK
then began calling the roll on the
third ballot for vice.president. Thf
unofficial totals on the third ballol
were: Dawes, 6S21a; Hoover 2841h;
Kenyon, So.
After the nomination of General
Dawes had been announced and sen.
ator James E. Watson had moved it
be made by reclamation, Senator Pep
per Of Pennsylvania took the platform
and offered a resolution to appoint
Chairman Mondell of the convention
chairman of the committee to notify
President Coolidge of his nomination
and to appoint Theodore e. Burton
chairman of the committee to notify
General Dawes of his nomination.

ton for President.

When the secretary announced the
total vote, the chairman of the South
Dakota delegation got the platform
and said that South Dakota, having
kept its primary pledge, was willing to
make it unanimous. Delegate Scott,
the only Coolidge man in the Wiscon-
sin delegation, also moved to make it
unanimous, but the IS loyal La Fol-
lette men gave a chorus of noes" to
the vote.
Coolidge's name was presented to
the convention by DR.. Marion Leroy
Burton, president of the Michigan uni,
versity. Dr. Burton, a former resident
OF the presidents home of NortMlmp-
ton, spoke on behalf of Massachusetts,
and the nomination was seconded by
Vermont, California, Kansas, Oregon,
Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina
and New York.
DR.. Burton divided his lengthy ora
ton into three parts. He spoke first
of Calvin Coolidge, 1.-THE man." then
about Calvin Coolidge, the Ameri-
cam" aud finished off with an elo,
quent presentation of Calvin Coolidge,
"the human being"
Burton Lauds Coolidge.
He did not so into the presidents
policies and executive acts. He left
that, he said for the politicians, and
confined his address solely to the
moral, spiritual and mental attributes
of Mr. Coolidge. To him he ascribed
in a degree attributes approached by
few men, attributes of simplicity, in
dustry, frugality patience, vigilance,
honesty and service
Or. Burton's peroraton brought the
convention to its feet with an outburst
OF cheering and applause and the pro.
cession of delegates started around
the floor with Vermont in the lead.
Other delegates quickly followed
carrying their state standards and
soon the aisles were choked with
marching throng. The North Dakota
standard from the delegation in which
there are six La Toilette delegates,
was carried into the procession, but
the South Dakota standard from the
delegation having johnson dejs gates
failed to get in.

Human nature is very much the
same in all ages. 1t has always
been easy to forget good done and
favorS received if for a few mo-
mentS some one stroked us the
wrong way. The NewS-Record is
a friend of every one on the Is
land as far as we know. 1t has
said good things in every issue
about the Island as whole and
of the individuals who comprise
the Island society, whether they
happen to be interested in farm
ing, business or just living here
and trying to be happy.
Those who understand the
newspaper business know that a
considerable portion of our reve-
nue. comes from outside the Is
land and that one of our best Gus
TONERS is the Puget Sound Power
and Light company and its local
auxiliary the Washington Coast
Utilities. As long as these peo-
pie are conducting their business
las far as we know in an honest
and capable manner we see no
special reason for refusing to
print matter that they send us
when it violates no moral law and
Injuries no one.
On the other hand the writer
has always appreciated the view
point of the ultimate consumer
and stands ready at any time to
assist in any way possible to
Tighten his burden. In this CON
nection it is only fair to say that
a LOT of our people think that the
Island would get cheaper rates on
light if the Bone bill became a
law. As to power rates. the
PRESENT POWER RATES are
the SAME as in Seattle SO that
you can run your washer, vacuum
cleaner, electric pump, etc, just
as cheaply now as you could pos
sibly under the proposed regime.
The writer hopes the Bone bill
will pals because there ard so
many who wish to try the munich
pal ownership plan and sincerely
believe it will prove a great pub
lie benefit.
Remembering the experiments
with government control of rail
roads during the war and the
famous stabe elevator and state
bank in North Dakota; remem-
bering too, that every project of
this sort takes off the tax rolls
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of property thereby add
ing to the burden of the remain
ing taxpayers. the writer refuses
to be swept off his feet by either
hurrahs or threats. This matter
and every other before the voters
should be studied on its merits
and decided ais nearly as possible
with a view to benetiting the larg-
est number of citizens.
If you sincerely believe in pub
lie ownership and administration
of public utilities, sign the petit
ton for Initiative No. 50 and vote
for it in November. The News
Record uses far more power and
light than most of our subscribers
do and I'VE are Therefore interested
in getting good service at the low
est rate within reason. 1t has al

second days session, Permanent
Chairman Frank w Mondell of Wye
ming in his speech admonished repub,
leans to see to 1t that only those who
are republicans in principle as well
as in name" be elected to congress-
a prolonged demonstration for Presi-
dent Coolidge started when Charles
b. Warren, chairman of the resolutions
committee, reading his report, men.
toned the president.
Through all the demonstration for
the president and the platform the
delegates from Wisconsin remained
silently in their seats, taking no part
and ignoring the cat calls, Kisses, jeers
and shouts directed toward them from
the marching throng and from the gal
leries.
The Coolidge marchers, however
were determined to get the Wiscon
sin delegation on its feet and il final
ly accomplished It by forming a circle
around them and singing the Star
Spangled Banner.
The La Toilette delegates soemnly
rose and stood at attention through
out the singing and then stolidly re-
sumed their chairs while the demon
stration for Coolidge proceeded
La Toilette Platform Rejected.
The convention adopted its plat
form, as reported by the resolutions
committee, and rejected the La Fol
lette planks presented from the Wis
consin delegation
Chairman Warren of the resolutions
committee, read the platform as it
finally was approved and moved its
adoption. Representative Cooper of
Wisconsin presented the La Toilette
platform and spoke in its support. Mr..
Warren made no extended arguments
against the La Toilette planks, merely
reminding the convention that the
platform as brought in from the com
mittee had been approved by every
member except the member from Wis
consin and that the committees action
might be considered fair cross sec
ton of the sentiment Of the conven-
ton.
While the selection of the candidate
for president was mere formality
the naming OF candidate for vice
president provoked spirited contest,
resulting in the nomination of Charles
G. Dawes of Illinois, but his nominal
ton came only after the convention
had once chosen former Governor Low
den of Illinois, who declined to accept
the place.
Eight candidates were placed in
nomination and the ballots on the first
roll call were divided among the four
leaders, Lowden, Kenyon, Dawes and
Burton of Ohio. Many delegations
voted for favorite sons as compli-
ment, while others divided their votes
among various candidates.
A switch Of rs votes from Pennsyl-
vania to Theodore E. Burton on the
second ballot gave the nomination to
Lowden.
Lowden Declines Nomination.
When Chairman Mondell informed
the convention that Mr. Lowden, from
his home in Oregon, H., sent word
that he positively refused to accept
the nomination, it was agreed on all
sides that the only thing for the con
vention to do was to go at it again
and there was series of hurried con
ferences and caucuses on the floor.
1t developed openly that William
Butler was insisting on the nomina-
ton of Secretary Hoover and working
hard for him while the Dawes people
worked like trojans to line up the
delegates for the general.

| BY means of COW testing asso-
Iciations, many valuable and high
producing cows have been saved
from the butcher as the associa-
ton records have disclosed their
capacities, which otherwise would
have gone unrecognized. BY the
same means, boarder cows, per-
haps of excellent appearance but
really producing less than the cost
of their feed and care, have been
eliminated from herds to the pro-
lift Of their owner. The cost to
each dairyman in an association
for testing his entire herd during
1.-THE year averages between $500
and $500 per month.
The average COW in Minnesota,
including grades and pure-breds,
produces 166 pounds of butterfat
a year. So it will be seen that a
pound-a-day cow produces more
than twice as much as the aver
age.
The fact that forty-one cows in
this association qualified for
these ribbons indicates the adapt
ability of Pine county to dairying,
1t also indicates the ability as
breeders and feeders of the men
who have succeeded in winning
these ribbons. II is also testi-
monial to the ability of the tester

tiers of feeding and care are q
