The La Toilette Platform.
The second subject was that of the
attitude of the LaFollette wing of the
party on the question of platform
planks. Early in the first session on
Tuesday there was distributed to the
delegates copies of the platform pro
posed by the Wisconsin senator and his
followers and offered to the resolutions
committee by Henry Allen Cooper, the
Wisconsin member Of the committee
This proposed platform carried dras-
tic condemnation of the legislation
enacted by both parties during several
past administrations. It declared for
the public ownership of wafer power,
the public control of natural re-
sources; repeal of the ESch-Cummins
law; public ownership of railroads;
drastic curtailment of war and navy
expenditures tax on excess profits;
the making public of tax returns; cleo.
ton of federal judges without party
designation: reduction in freight
rates for farm products; abolish in.
functions in labor disputes; protection
for farmers organizations and collec'

bonus to soldiers; deep waterways
from the lakes to the ocean; amend.

for the direct election of President,
federal initiative and referendum, and
a referendum on war There were

based on the percentage of Republican
electors elected from each state. 1t Is
so worded as to rather increase the
representation in both the number OF
delegates and the members of the ma.

instead Of materially decreasing either
the number of delegates or national

the women the same voice in party
affairs as that enjoyed by the men

Ga. Democrats Went to
Polls in Primary Today
Thousands Cast Ballots in EIec-

State With Result
Uncertain

ATLANTA, Sept. 1O.-Georgia
today went to the polls to cast her
vote for the various candidates to
the several offices, state and county,
in the State Democratic Primary
election, and indications point to a
light vote being recorded through
out the state.
Since early this morning when
the booths were thrown open, thou
sands upon thousands of 'Geogrians
over the commonwealth have jour
neyed to the polls and, by their
vote, expressed their convictions as
to the handling Of the affairs of the
county and state. AS the result Of
those thousands Of votes which have
been cast during the morning, and
those which will be recorded until
late this afternoon, when the polls
will close, Georgia will once again
/ flash to the world her desires which
will govern until another primary
election has come upon the horizon.
In the larger cities, in the county
seats, in every village and hamlet
that has been christened as the
State of Georgia, today held per-
haps the greatest interest than any
in the year. Farmers from the
fields dropped their plows long en-
ough to record their preference Of
the candidates; the common labores
found time during the day to east
his vote; the business man and the
big executives, ministers of the COS
pei, all banded together, and proud
Of the fact that they make up Dem
ocratic Georgia, helped to increase
the swelling tide of votes that will
be counted tonight.
And this evenig, attire the sun
has gone from view, anu darkness

BASCOM ANTHONY
RAPS DEFENSE DAY

A vigorous denunciation Of Cae
plans for and the purpose of Dc
Tense Day, Friday, was given by
Rev. Bascom Anthony, D. D., presi-
ding elder Of the Savannah district
and former pastor of First Meth
odist church here in a recent ser
mon at Ashby Memorial Methodist
church, Savannah.
In the course of his sermon, DR..
Anthony declared the idea is wrong
for the United States to mobilize
an army at this critical time when
efforts are being made to adjust
the relations of nations. The Lea
que of Nations is now meeting, try
ing to straighten out the European
situation, and France and England
seem to be getting together.
Here's one man that wouldn't
go within five miles of the Defense
Day parade" declared the presid-
ing elder. At the point Rev. M. A
Shaw pastor Of Ashby Memorial,
who was sitting on the pulpit with
DR.. Anthony, said, "Here are two Of
us" In making announcement Of
the Defence Day plans, as he had
been requested, Mr.. Shaw said he
did not desire to influence anyone
on the subject, but personally he is
not in favor of the plans, as he be-
lieves that mind of the people would
be far from war and anything that
pertains to war.
Il tell you what | would do. >
continued DR.. Anthony, eff they
would cali a big meeting in all the
school houses, churches and public
buildings of all the men women and
children and have a peace day to
discuss plans for abolishing war, |
would be there if l had TO walk 20
miles,"
DR.. Anthony declared the mind
of the nation should not be upon
war, especially at this time. "There
is not a monument in Savannah that
was not erected to a soldier" he de-
clared "There is not a single statute
in the public parks and squares Of
Savannah that is not dressed in a
soldiers uniform, with a sword in
its hand, and now Savannah APP
pears to have gone military mad
DR.. Anthony declared himself in
favor of the abolition Of war. He
said he hopes there will never
come time when young men will
be called to go forth and kill other
men they have nothing against. He
said eivilizedsnations should not go
to war.
In speaking of the plans for
