the expense of the occupation must be

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-07-04

New York-By a vote of 1853 to TAI
the democratic national convention
rejected League of Nations plank
embodying the deathbed views OF
Woodrow Wilson. This plank was
submitted as a minority report by
Newton d. Baker, former secretary OF
war. The delegates. two to one, sup
ported the plank on the league as
framed by majority of the platform
committee-it has national referen-
dunn attachment.
The plank that was adopted had
been denounced by Mr.. Baker as fan
tastic, illegal, unconstitutional and an
unavoidable vagary-providing sort
of postal card" referendum.
WiIsonian Idea Collapse Climax.
The collapse of the Wilsonian idea,
at convention where every mention
of his name has been received fer
entity and almost with an air Of wor-
ship, came at the close of two hours
of argument filled with dramatic eli
makes.
Mr.. Baker in his peroration sum-
moned the spirit of Woodrow Wilson
to the convention hall. With choking
voice, he said his departed chieftain
stood beside him on the platform and
that he, Baker, was merely mouth
piece through whom Woodrow Wilson
himself was admonishing the democ-
racy to stand by the League of Ma
lions.
Saturated with emotion, Mr.. Baker
said Woodrow Wilson won the war,
won the world, won the peace and
died for what he had won, and that
the democratic party although wor-
Shipping its departed great, is afraid to
stand by Wilson's great ideals.
In one dramatic fragment he spoke
of Woodrow Wilson at the Great
White Throne in honor, a minute
later, as an imaginary republican edi-
tor. Baker spoke of the headline he
would scream across the front page
were the convention to adopt the ma
jority referendum league plank-"dem-
ocratic Convention Repudiates Wood
TOW w tlSOu.
That was the contrast he played up
on-Woodrow Wilson honored in
heaven for his deeds and ideals, but
dishonored in his own party.
Platform Adopted.
After declining by the hair breath
margin the Ku Klux Khan by name,
the democratic national convention
adopted the party platform amid
scenes of indescribable confusion.
The vote on the Khan issue was
541 800 in favor of the plank de-
nouncing the hooded order by name,
as demanded by the anti-Klan demo
Gratis, and 542 800 in favor of the
plank condemning religious and racial
intolerance but not mentioning the
Khan. The narrow victory goes to the
plank reported by the majority of the
resolutions committee and defended
by William Jennings Bryan.
After the acceptance of the religious
liberty plank-without naming the
Klan--the platform was adopted by
viva voce vote and the convention adj
journed until $3.50 a. m. Monday.

Minneapolis-A new dockage clean
er, which will raise 100000 bushels
of the northwest spring wheat crop
from one to several grades, will be
used at the Minneapolis market by the
United States grain inspection depart
ment this year.
R. G. Miller, federal grain super
visor, said he was sure use of the new
cleaner would mean a better price to
the farmer.
The instrument will remove cookie
and wild pea, called "inseparable ma
terial' in the present grading system,
although millers who buy the wheat
take it out, taking account of the I'M
known quantity of cookie and wild pea
in wheat in their bid. Now, Mr.. Miller
said, the percentage will be known to

After three hours of oratory it took
two hours beginning at midnight to
call the roll, poll numerous delega-
tons in which votes were contested
and total the result while Chairman
T. j. Walsh wore himself to a FRAGILE
in the effort to preserve order.
The result was so close as to give
neither the victorious faction much
cause for congratulation nor the de-
feated faction much reason to lament
its fate.
Mutterings still were heard among
the anti-klan elements to the effect
that they would not support the
party that had declined to repudiate
the invisible empire.

Governors Relief Committee Discusses
Result of Survey of Loss.
st. Paul-The relief committee
which was organized to raise funds
for the farmers who suffered heavy
losses in the Balaton-Tracy district as
result of tornado June %, met in
Governor Preus' office to discuss the
result of survey made of losses by
the American Red Cross.
1t is estimated that between $780,
600 and 100000 will be needed as a
relief fund to defray expense Of re-
facilitating farmers who suffered loss
es of that storm. The figures are based
on rough estimate, members of the
committee said, and it is the plan to
give these farmers sufficient financial
aid to permit them once again to be-
gin their activities.

Tracy, Minn-A severe electrical
storm, lasting from 1920 p. m. Fri
day to a. m. accompanied by ter
rifle wind, rainfall totalling 2.75
inches, swept through the big
tornado area in Lyon, Redwood, Muir
ray and Cottonwood counties. Trees
were snapped off and uprooted by the
wind, few small outbuildings were
damaged and many of the families
who lost their homes in the tornado
and who are living In tents, were
thoroughly soaked, but SO far as
could be learned no one was injured.

revenge, but by inference puts the
responsibility for anything that hap

in Germany on the Allies themselves
This is the high spot in the German

.OHIO TORNADO
TAKES BIG TOLL
Rescue Workers Clear Wreckage
in Search of Dead and
Injured.

Cleveland-The list of known dead
In northern Ohio's tornado Saturday
had reached 100, with indications that
this number probably will be in
creased, according to compilations
made. At Lorain, where the storm hit
the hardest, the death list stood at
72, 10 additional bodies having been
recovered during the day. City Of
ficials feared this figure would be in
creased as rescue workers continued
their search of the ruins.
Seven Killed IN Cleveland.
There were seven fatalities In Cleve-
land although the property damage
was small. Pittsburgh reported three
persons killed while Mantua, Ohio, re-
ported three dead, French Creek three,
Weymouth two and Akron one. The
death total in Iowa and Illinois was
IL, making death list of 109 The
total property damage when reports
from the rural regions are complete

Despite the devastation at Lorain,
VhCA 2 thO tOlhouO tOlO uoWh 4udI-
ter of the city, organized rescue work
went forward smoothly and state
troops kept order among the inhabi-
tants, hundreds of~whom were thrown
out of their homes and had to be shell
tered in tents and with friends.
Rescue Work Quickly Under Way.
The greatest loss of life at Lorain
took place in the State theater, four
story building which partly collapsed
and crushed many of the spectators at
matinee movie show. AS soon as
rescue work was organized, survey
of the situation led to the deduction
that many score had been killed, for
buildings had been whipped down over
the heads of several fairly large as
semblages. At a bathing beach house
the structure was torn to pieces and
1t was announced that dozens had lost
their lives at this place.
Mayor George Hoffman of Lorain
estimates the property damage at $25,.
100000 visible and $50, zoo, 900 invisible.

was persuaded to stay until the weather
should be more favorable. For the circum-
stances that saved her from another CONVEX

she gave to him no intimation that she
would not see him again that day. At the
hotel three hours later she wrote little

YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

When a child has been exposed
70 whooping cough by actual con-
tact with a child suffering from
it. or about to come down with Il.
ii Is very likely that he will contract
it. Children who have colds ana
coughs should be kept away from
other children until the mother IS
certain that he has no more serious
ailnent. The small baby is the
greatest sufferer from whoop.ng
cough and the longer a child can be
kent from the infection the greater
are his chances of recovery.
To feed the baby and keep UP his
natural resistance is the foremost
consideration. Since during worst
stages most of the food is lost
through vomiting, this is no simple
matter.
The use of a serum is effective
in lessening the severity of the
disease in about so per cent of the
cases; one is justified in hoping to
be one of this small percent and so
the serum should be tried.
During the worst of the siege 1t is
better to keep the child quiet and
In bed. After a severe CONFUSION
OF coughing he should be fed some
