ed States Senate for Its ratification. But for the splendid defense made by the republican floor leader. the late Henry Cabot Lodge. who was so ably supported by his lieutenants and followers in this crisis. fore most among whom was our candl- date for president. the treaty would have been ratified and today we would have had the spectacle of the flag of the Lea gue Of Nations flying above Old Glory.
 By reason of the long legislative experience of our candidate, and by reason of his mature and reliable judgment on legislative matters. he has had a conspicuous part in the preparation and advocacy Of much of the legislation that we find today upon the statute books Of our coun- try, Our candidate Is naturally a leader. not only of men but of thought. This is we'll evidenced by the attitude taken by him years ago in advocating railway consolidation. Consistently he advocated this poli- Cy of consolidation until it Is now generally conceded that our Candi- date was and is right, and that those who opposed him were wrong.
 Has Aided Farmers
 1ndiana's candidate was born in the agricultural section of our state. He knows much of the diversity of farming and has been endeavoring with all his might and main to rem- edy, in so far as possible, the ills that the farmers have been suffer- ing in the last few years. So great and unceasing have been his efforts on behalf of the farmers through out the agricultural sections of the land, that he has been generally recognized as one of the foremost of the farmers friends. In follow ing this course he has consistently done for the relief of the farming sections of the country must not be done to the dctriment of the other interest of our country. and the farmer would not have him follow any other course.
 Indiana has long been looked upon as a critical state. It is a bat tle ground in every campaign, and is just as critical today as it has ever been, if not more so. By reason of it's schisms brought about by a miasma of unholy cleavage in the last presidential and state cam paigns, We have troubles of our own. With the bringing about of this situ- alton our candidate had no part. but his nomination by this convention will do much to bring back into alignment those who tempora rily left the fold, just IS his efforts had this result after our experience of 1912.
 Democrats Position
 The Democrats, hopeful of sue cess, realize that their candidate. who has all but been named. must carry some middle western states. They are looking with covetous eyes upon the state of Indiana as the gateway through which they can march to success. To bring about the desired result, someone will be nominated from Indiana as the tail of the Democratic kite. To offset even possibility of such disaster. not only to the Repul .ican party but to the country. our candidate

 It has been said that in the cam palEn We are about to enter there will he no distinctive issues separat- ing the two great political parties. and that the determination of the election will depend largely upon personality and upon locafand state issues. I cannot believe this. There IS. at least, one great issue that will attract or should attract every man and woman throughout the country. That issue Is the protective tariff.
 It is true that the prosperity that has come to our country through an adherence 10 protective tariff whenever the republican party has been in power has convinced thou sands Of democrats of their error. and that there are thousands of them in this country today who are opposed to the attitude of the demo- cratic party on this issue, but the efforts Of these well meaning pso- pie have been and Will be without avail, so strictly entrenched are the democratic leaders and so hlindlv are they followed Ky the. majority of the rank and file.
 The democratic party. as party, is opposed to the principle Of a pro- tectiNe tariff, just as the republican party from its birth has been its ad- Nocate. Every time the democratic party persuad dos the American peo- pie 10 adopt a low tariff the free traders ideal of cheapness is real ized. Everything is cheap under a democratic tariff. and nothing is cheaper than human labor, for mil lions then vainly seek employment. Policy of Protection.
 The policy Of protection is the cornerstone upon which the repub- lcan party has bullded the greatest era. of progress that the world has ever known, Never has there been la stronger supporter or more an- sistont advocate of the necessity Of a protective tariff for the comfort and prosperity of all our people than has been and is our candidate for president.
 To the survivors of the Civil War, to the survivors Of the Span ish- American war, to the survivors of the World war. and to the widows and dependents of all of them. l wish 10 call attention to the fact, that you have never had d better ca ndidate for president of the United States. He has voted for every piece of legislation designed for the benefit of the soldier and for the benefit of his dependents.
 To the women of this country who struggled so long and so faith fully to secure woman suffrage, I would call attention to the fact that Indianas S candidate for the presi- .dency was one of the most Consis- tent champions of your cause,

WATS0N'S NAME IS
 LOUDLY CHEERED
Is Placed Before Convention by
 Representative Wood
By the Cnited PreSs,

By the Cn1ted Press
 Kansas City. June 15.-Presenta- ton of the name Of Senator James F. Watson for the presidential nomi- nation by Congressman W. R. Wood at the convention last night brought out great rounds of complimentary aplause for the veteran Indiana sena- tor.
 The protective tariff was singled out as "one great issue in the speech of Representative Wood, who spoke as follows:
 The enthusiasm manifested here today is indicative of the determin- stion of the republican party to carry on in further perpetuation Of those fundamental principles of free government inaugurated and estab- lished by the republican party. Indiana takes justifia ble pride in presenting as her candidate not only a native son but tavorite son, who has been favored time and time again by the electorate of his state favored only because of his intrin- sic merit and work. His name and fame, however. are not confined to the state of Indiana. l dare say he has a broader acquaintance than any other man in public life today, He can call more men and women by their first names than any other man living today He has made more republican speeches than any other man living today,
 In years that are gone when poli- tieal clouds seemed for time to be- set the sky, our candidate stood steadfast in his adherence to the old, the tried, and the true-never way erinE for a single moment from the principles of the founders of the re- publican party.
 For more than forty years. our candidate has been preaching the doctrine of republicanlsnl. He com menced his preachment in Indiana before he was of age.
 For more than 80 years Indiana $ candidate for the presidency has occupied q place in the congress of the United States. He entered the lower house in 1895 and served six terms. In 1916 he was elected to the United States senate. He has served to the credit of himself, the state and the nation. When he was a member of the house, he was a whip for Uncle Joe Cannon, and

 If he is nominated Indiana will be as certain as the state of Penn sylvania. As Indiana goes so goes the Union. Let us make certain be- yond peradventure this election of a Republican president by nominat- ing 1ndiana's distinguished candi date, James E. Watson.

DANIELS SUPPORTS
 SMITH IN ADDRESS
Conplrs Him With Andrtv Jackson in Nashville Speech

Nashville, Tenn. Oct. 20 N-A nearly perfect" parallel between the lives of Andrew Jackson. 'the man of the people of 1928. and Alfred E. Smith. the man of the people of l92S" was drawn here last night by Josephus Daniels, wartime secre- tary of the navy. in an address sup porting the New York governors candidacy for the presidency. The speech was delivered almost within the shadows of the Hermitage, the home Jackson left to take up his residence in the White House a cen. tury ago.
 "Is there not | similarity between Old Hickory and Al Smith" asked Mr. Daniels. ''The only degree Jackson had" he continued. twas H. N. o. (Hero of New Orleans. where he made his mark with his sword. ) Hts successor of today likewise comes up from among the people with no degree except that of F. F. M. (Fulton Fish Market.) The parallel is nearly perfect between Jackson and Smith, except that one was born, bred and always was a countryman. and the other was born. at the lower end of Brooklyn bridge"
 "As Jackson truly sensed the aspirations and made himself the leader of the masses of his day and . fighter of privilege. 50 today Al Smith as no other man. voices the desires of the people who wish nothing but fair chance" Daniels continued. He has shown himself

no longer be the registering device of monopoly: he would operate Muscle Shoals and all other great government water sites for the ben- eft of the people; he would refuse to permit American marines to be sent to Nicaragua to do the bidding of dollar diplomacy: he would not for a moment permit the Eighteenth Amendment to be nullified and flouted: he would be as vigorous in warfare for popular rights as he was in 1928. And 1t is because Al Smith trusts the people and the people trust him that these interests fear him.
 'In Jackson's bay. people did not always agree with him. but they knew that his heart was true to those who labored and longed for . better chance for their children. Great masses of people believe that of Al Smith and that is why, in spite Of some differences. when he comes. into the South. East, West or North he is heralded as the political successor of the man from the Hermitage"

ITALIAN HAMPERS
 0U7D0 AMERICANS Tourists Report Majority: el Girls Wear Stockings Rolled

American girls have nothing on the fair young misses of Italy in the way of modern dress and style ac- cording to . number of American tourists who recently returned to this country after spending the summer months visiting the cities of the fair Latin country.
 People in United States picture the Italian girls attired in sweeping flannel dresses of bright hues and designs. This is far from being the case, however. Visions of this coun- try were brought back forcibly to the minds of the tourists. as they observed the Italian girls tripping through the streets attired in the knee" high dresses of the latest makes and with the popular Amer ican boyish and wind blown" bobs. Placing ths modern Italian miss on an American street would cause her no embarrassment and she would fit in perfectly with our "collegiate" atmosphere. according to the re- marks of the tourists.
 Only recently there was . great deal of comment passed in this country over . new fad of the girls, that of wearing no stockings or having them rolled down to the ankles. Only one out of every five girls in this country adopted the new style and had courage enough to appsar in public. In Italy. how ever, the style is prevalent and four out of every five girls appear in the streets unmolested by the trouble some burden of stockings. The dsht is 70 common that the older people fail to notice it while the American tourists wondered at the apparent and reckless freedom" of the fair misses.
 The girls, for the most part, trav- el in groups and pairs, giving the public tho general idea that they were the flair co-eds" of some school or institution. However they pay little attention to passerbys and confine their remarks to themselves.
 Another thing in Italy that im- pressed the tourists was the great desire of every visitor to the coun- try to meet the Pope personally. Every day there are countless visi- tors at the Vatican who are seeking a glimpse of the Catholic pontiff. It is said that during the month of August, when the Pope injured his S>>x ..a -,.. .ooS,oA <o bts rnoy,, thereby being unable to see any vis- itors, disappointed visitors offered large sums of money for the privi- lege of Interviewing him. The Pope welcomes as many visitors each day as is possible and the money offers of the tourists failed to meet with his approval.

the champion fighter of privilege, The issues today is identical. aS it was in 1928. Then government was by a class holding in contempt pop ular rule.
 Today, more than ever. privilege is in command. Mellon. who is her. aided as the second Hamilton. mi nus his genius. represents the same sort of interest as Hamilton. Jackson came out of the west and was heralded as an uncouth. uneducated man. lacking those graces and cultures expected of a chief executive. Smith suffers un- der the same criticism. only they say of him that he has East Side accent. . -
 No man ever sat in the White House who was so hated as Andrew Jackson: not hated as a man. but hated as an executive. This hatred was all becau use at every step he out generalled those who worshipped the god of things as they are.
 Smith is hated the same way. Hcopte uAc ulHu personally put they hate the things he stands for. They hate his victory over the water power combine Tn New York. They hate his devotion to the common man" Replying to his own question as to what changes in government Jackson would champion were he alive today. the Raleigh newspaper publisher answered by saying "They do not ask that question in North Carolina, South Carolina or Tennes- see. where Jackson was known" "Just as he destroyed the Nation- al Bank" Daniels declared, ''he would destroy the influences that dominate the federal government today. He would destroy the tariff commissions perversion. which turns out subsidies for the favored few: he would convert the mori- bund shipping board into . real agency for the extension of foreign trade: he would 70 change the fed eral trade commission that 1t would
