IG. Q P. PLATFORM IS HYPOTHETICAL,
 HULL DECLARES
Declares Convention Is Lucky To Find Man
 For Vice President

NEW YORK, June 13.-Cordell Hull of Tennessee, chairman of the national democratic committee, today issued this formal statement concerning the re. publican convention just concluded al Cleveland
 '"The republican convention seemed nightly lucky in being able finally, after much lodging ducking and de. clining by those to whom offers were made, to find any Iperson who would accept the vice presidential nomina. tion.. No party in the past has ever reached such an ebb that a nomination for vice president has been declined after it was already made, with one exception, and that was under a mis. apprehension. This unique convention experience was further reflection of the leadership of President Coolidge following his 10 months record of .nfas- terly leadership of his party and of his Congress at Washington.
 This campaign will demonstrate whether political party can live or ought to live after dragging the govern. ment through a bottomless cesspool of corruption and left in its trail condi- tions of debauchery and scandal on a scale unrivalled in the nations his tory as during the past three and one half years of the Harding Coolidge ad- ministration. 'Hypocritical Folly"
 Ut is hypocritical folly to talk about giving the people any sort of decent government during the next four years unless wholesale corruption in many government departments is first re. moved and public morals and official honestly are restored at Washington Instead of frankly confessing and ab jectly apologizing for the republican record of graft, bribery, and rapine dur ing the present administration, the Cleveland convention cheered loudest when the patriotic democratic senators who exposed republican corruption were denounced by Mondell and others as character assassins and scanda mongers.
 From the gentle, not to say sym | pathetic, manner in. which the repub lican convention dealt with them anC their infamous conduct, an uninformeC person might easily conclude that New berry, Fall. Daugherty, Forbes ant their associates were persons of thu highest probity, and that Senator Walsh and others who exposed whole sale crimes were the real criminals The old guard, special-interest element of the republican party cannot pur, or reform itself. It today constitutes the chief menace to honest and rep resentative government and should bt destroyed.

 Butler will go to Washington early next week to consult with Coolidge re- garding campaign plans.
 No BarnstOrming.
 Coolidge managers made it clear Fri day that the President, and not Dawes, will set the pace in the campaign. The President will adopt the Harding front porch campaign method to the White House, receiving delegates on the south portico and addressing them on set occasions, it is indicated. He may ac- cept a few out-of-town engagements, but there will be no transforming.
 Some of the Coolidge group who were opposing Dawes seemed worried lest the doughty general become an unruly can didate, and crowd the president from the center of the picture during the campaign.
 Dawes is a spectacular character of the Roosevelt sort, who makes strikl ing newspaper copy. There is some thing picturesque and tangible about him that is easy to seize upon. He is always doing the unexpected. It will require careful and tactful stage man. aging to keep Dawes from oyershadow- ing the President in the spectacular features of the campaign. And to com plicate matters, Dawes has no patience with the gumshoe school of politics, and is apt to explode at the most un- expected time.
 His unheard of audacity in going be- fore a congressional committee and giving it a good, old-fashioned cussing has never been forgotten. Politicians of the old school tremble lest Dawes will repeat this performance in attack ing some of the recent acts of Congress
 But whatever basis there may be for these fears on the part of the Coolidge managers, it should be said in favor of Dawes that no man ever. had a more delicate situation to handle than he had in directing the separations con. ference. He went through that diff.

SHORTAGE OF LABOR
LOOMS IN SPRING

Denver.-While the usual winter
surplus of seasonal workers now ex-
lists, indications point to shortage Of
labor during the building and agricul-
tural periods Of 1924, according to a
special report made for Colorado by
Ounce Record, director of the eighth
district of the federal employment
service of the United States Depart
ment of Labor. Industrial activity
continues on large scale, and there
is every indication Of an expansion in
many lines of industry during the next
year, with a resultant increased de-
mand for skilled and unskilled labor
over 1928
These predicted expansions are par
ticularly noticeable in agricultural
pursuits, power, irrigation, drainage
systems and other construction pro-
Jects, and in the gas and oil fields.
Municipal improvements and highway
construction amounting to millions Of
dollars will be continued ana consid-
cradle new work started during 1924.
There is at the present time some cur
tailment in employment in metal
mines. 1t is expected that this indus
try will show increased activity, with
metal miners in strong demand
Employment in the coal mines has
increased somewhat during the past
few weeks, and an optimistic outlook
for the future prevails in this indus
try. Steel mills are particularly ac-
tive and should continue, and it is
thought that railroad shops, though
seasonably curtailed at present, will
be actively engaged on an increased
hour and employment basis within
few months.

BEARDED KINGS OF ENGLAND
George Follows Example of Edward
the Peacemaker, His Father,
Says London Paper.

1t is rather odd that at time when
boards are so much out of fashion his
majesty King George should wear one.
In this respect he follows the example
of Edward the Peacemaker, his IA
ther, who was the first Of our SOW
ereigns to wear beard during nearly
300 years.
We must travel back in history as
far as Charles l, before coming to
another bearded king. He was the last
king, until what we call modern times,
to wear a beard and "his own hair"
Indeed, when George III was on the
throne no beard had been seen in Eng.
land within living memory.
Like the present king, Charles
seems to have copied his father. James
rs beard, too, had been in a way rath.
er a novelty, because his three i'm.
mediate predecessors had been a boy
and two women.
BY the way, the predecessor and fa-
ther of these three, Henry VIII, the
much-discussed and much-married Tu-
dor monarch, broke the record OF q
fairly long line of beardless kings by
himself cultivating a beard, for none
of his predecessors, from Henry V to
Henry VII. wore beard.
All the Saxon kings favored boards,
but William the Norman only wore a
mustache, as did his sons and several
of their successors on the throne. But
Richard the Lion Heart made boards
fashionable again. for his brother John,
Henry III and the first three Edwards
were all razor-shy. Indeed from 1866
to 1888 no clean-shaven king sat on the
throne of England.
To sum up, since the Norman con-
quest there have been 13 beard-wear-
ing kings, IA clean-shaven kings and
6 who shaved the chin. but not the
upper lip.-London Answers.

Its war games will demonstrate the
truth of the contentious of Representa-
tive julius Kahn of California, chair
man of the house military affairs COM
mittee, that the Panama canal, which
he calls one of the vital assets of the
United States, is virtually defenseless.
This condition, he urges, should be
remedied promptly.
Representing, as the canal does,
not merely an investment of so many
hundreds of millions of dollars, but
also an investment that cannot be
computed in it's potential value, 1t is
essential that we take steps to remedy
a situation in our national defense
which can only grow worse with neg
lect," said Mr. Kahn.
"a comparatively small investment,
which resulted in the construction of
the original Erie canal, led to the
growth of New York City to its pres
ent size and was a material factor in
the expansion of the Middle West.
Link of Two Continents.
"What the Erie canal has meant
to the growth ofs our great Middle
West, the Panama canal means to the
continents of North and South Amer
lea. Through its influence, we have
| hnoT1 6rovx int oh of
growing trade and these contacts are
| leading to the more delicate ones of
diplomacy. American trade with the
countries of South America has grown
to a point where our exports to those
| countries represent close to half OF
what they buy from the whole out
side world.
"We are neglecting what has been
one of the greatest factors in this ex-
pansion Of commerce. The Panama
canal meant the impression of oul
influence in the countries it affects
and the consequent overshadowing OF
the commercial hold other countries
had on those areas
I'm that vast region known to most
citizens Of the United States simply
as Latin America there are some
twenty countries. Generally speaking
they are near neighbors of ours. While
Europe is admittedly still good Gus
toner for us, the larger Of the twenty
nations comprising Central and South
America can also be large customers
and have shown in the last few years
that they want our business; we
certainly should meet them halfway.
"The backbone of this growing com.
merce should not be at the mercy OF
outside aggression from any quarter
1t Is our duty and our right to pro
tect it, and the best protection not
only for the United States but for
those southern republics, having
practically a joint interest in the canal
is to make that waterway absolutely
