attention TO PROBLEMS

this phase of the economic problem:
I'VE believe in the principle of
high wages it declares.
Bonus Passed Up
A striking omission is the soldiers
bonus, which was not mentioned.
The platform pledges adequate re-
lief for its war veterans and their
dependents.
For alienation of the business de-
bacle and its attendant evil of un-
employment-a problem that was all
but forgotten in the sweating and
fuming over "booze" as Governor
Dan Turner of Iowa bluntly called
1.-THE platform offers the compre-
hensive reconstruction program that
President Hoover recently espoused
and which is now on its way
through congress. In addition to
two billions of public works and
"self-liquidating" projects in states
and municipalities, this program
calls fol $3O00OO,000 for loans to
states to feed the hungry.
Republicans pledged themselves
solidly for maintenance of the gold
standard and against any initiation
ary measures which would under
mine the governments credit or i'm

Schism Breaks Into Band
Of California Men Co
ing To Capital.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June l6. U.P)-
A schism, with latent possibilities of
violence, developed today in the
ranks of the Southern California
bonus army, resting here enroute
to Washington.
The trouble started, it was
learned, when the report got around
among the campers that there were
several hundred non-service men
in the army, and an insurgent
group was formed for the purpose
of divorcing the camp followers"
from the main body.
The seceders, led by man named
Ford, attempted without success to
get control of a loudspeaker device
at the state fair grounds, where the
army is quartered, to air their
complaints. When the attempt
failed, a delegation went to Gov.
George w. P. Hunt and asked for
a police escort to see that they got
their rights.
The governor refused, referring
them to the county sheriff.
Commander" r. w. Robertson
head of the original force, denied
there was any real trouble, and
said he thought the difficulties
would be settled by nightfall.
He admitted there probably were
some "deadheads" in the army,
and said they would be removed,
agreeing with the insurgent group
that the army" had no right to
share it's slender supplies with out
siders.
Ford was quoted as threatening
to take the 1000 or more men he
said were bona fide veterans and
leave for the east late this after
noon.
Robertson deprecated the posi-
bility of an actual split and sale
the original army, minus tht
camp followers, probably woulc
leave at dawn tomorrow for Tucson
and the east.
Sheriff j. r. McFadden said he
would "see there was no disorder. -
The camp ground was quiet
enough, small haranguing groups
furnishing the only indication OF
dissension, and making a scene that
resembled a political meeting, rath-
er than potential small-scale civil
war.

Gangsters Fail In
Chicago Hold-Up

CHICAGO, June 16. U,P)-Four
persons including a woman were
wounded one of them fatally in an
attempted holdup of The Dells,
fashionable roadhouse today.
Fred Pacelli, 40, guest, died of
wounds at a hospital.
The bandits were beaten off after
gun battle in the presence of 400
patrons clad in evening clothes.
Others wounded were Marjorie
Bruce, 20, condition critical; Roy
Marshan, 35, said by police to be
driver of the bandit car; and a
second bandit who escaped.
The bandits armed with shot
guns, invaded the crowded road
house as more than 200 couples
were dancing. Guards opened fire
on the gunner es they passed the
ballroom. Shots crashed out in the
dimly lighted dance floor as patrons
screamed in terror.
Fleeing without obtaining any
loot, the gunner were met at their
car by a police squad who con-
tinued the battle.
Hospital physicians held little
hope for recovery of MIS-. Bruce
wounded in the crosSfire of guards
and bandits.

These policies and measures
will hold our hard-wOn Ameri-
can system of ordered liberty
and government. Our youth
will continue to find that the
doors of equal opportunity are
open.
But beyond platforms and
measures there lies that sacred
realm of ideals. of hopes and
aspirations, those things of the
spirit which make the great
ness and the soul of the ma
ton.
these are are objectives and
with unceasing effort, with
courage and faith in Almighty
God, they will be obtained.
"If the American people shall
again commit to me the high
trust of this great office l
pledge them the full measure
of my devotion.

Californian Makes Mas

OF Presidents Ideals.

CHICAGO, June 16. U.P) = Jo-
seph L. Scott, of Los Angeles, NOM
mated President Hoover as the Re-
publican party's candidate for a
second term at the national con-
vention today, picturing him as a
"home spun American" and mas
ter in human engineering whose
shield remains unsullied after four
years in the White House
Il give to you as your candidate
our great Californian = Herbert
Hoover" Scott said, climaXing laud-
atory tribute to Hoover as man
and leader.
"This man of whom I speak is
the ideal standard bearer" Scott
said. I'm this epoch, he believes
in his principles-nor has he been
niggardly in appreciation of those
patriotic citizens who in the halls
of congress or elsewhere have di-
vested themselves of partisan in
fluence and have stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in helping to
solve the problems of taxation, Of
budget balancing, of unemploy-
ment and of relief"
Charging that the weapons of
contemptuous assault and Scurrilous
innuendo are at work today
throughout the land in vain effort
to besmirch the character of a
great American" Scott championed
President Hoover as lone whose life
typifies the spiritual values and the
vanity of mere earthly things"
The speaker urged his nomina-
ton because he eXemplifieS the
undaunted courage of the real
American sprung from the grass
roots of the nation, because he Wis
ualizes the hopes of the humblest
toiler of this land, because he un-
derstandS that we must first seek
the kingdom of God and His JUS
tice-and all other things shall be
added to us, because for us, our
children and grand children he has
lived through the lonely watches Oh
the night, solicitous for us all, ir-
respective of party affiliations.
Scott lauded the spirit OF sacri-
flee and service of the nations pio-
neers as a prelude to declaring:

of such a spirit-the spirit OF one
who, through the last long Cruel

CHICAGO, June 16. = President
Hoover's bid for reelection was
made on his behalf by his party
today in a voluminous platform
that will attract the attention of
the man in the street mainly by
its departure in proposed liberaliza-
ton of the 18th amendment.
Those who stop to read it will
find militant tone running through
the catalogue of Republican prin-
ciples-the long-held tenets of the
party with few exceptions-and Law
ish praise of the chief executive
for his advocacy of depression re-
lief measures.
The platform makers, who pro-
duced the declaration of party
principles only after "a hours of
almost continuous and wearisome
labor, much of it in tracing delicate
phraseology, did not heed the pop
ular cry for brevity for it takes
5000 words to tell the country what
the party believes.
Throughout is the picture OF
Hoover, the leader. 1t closes, after
a ringing denunciation of the Dem
ocratic party for its rule in the
house of representatives, with the
resounding challenge:
THE Republican party faces the
future unafraidl"
An appeal for Republican loyalty
is made in biting diatribe against
party irregularity. The whole doc
ument, which covers the entire
field of domestic and foreign af-
fairs-including such issues as un-
employment relief, the tariff, farm
relief, silver and veterans relief
bears the imprint of the man in the
White House. He was in constant
touch with its drafters.
High wages, and shorter work
day and week, both in private in
dustry and the government, is the
contribution the platform makes to

principles of constitutional govern
ment and needed a man of Frances
independence to restore funda-
mentals.
The predictions France made
when he voted against the 18th
amendment, the speaker added. had
come to pass lin this attempt to
regulate personal habits by govern
mental mandate"
"He believed that even worthy
principles cannot be accomplished
by violating righteous principles.
that the moral law is supreme ano
evil measures will produce evil con-
sequences even with the best OF
motives. That is where he stood
then and that is where he stands
today"
Sandblast said 231 delegates in
the convention, instructed by the
votes of 100000 persons, would

I'VE have met today in the shad-

THE whole world looks to us as it
has never looked at an information

agreement which will help end
existing distress.
What I wish to emphasize is
that this is a world catastrophe.
II repeat that in this, there is
no France, no Italy, no Germany,
no United States, no Great Britain
apart from the rest Of the nations,
Macdonald said None of us can
stay out of the work of restoration
and reconstruction because none
of us can stay out of the miScries
which are gathering about us.
To-day we have met to consider

CHICAGO. June Is. (Spe-
ciaD-This afternoon I got to
wondering if they really had
given Mr.. Curtis any notice, so
/ put in a call for him at the
senate, feeling that he would
tell me about it, and we had a
long chat and he did. And sure
enough, they hadn't. He said
that all the time they had as
sured him that he was the man.
He said if they had told him he
would have run for his senate
seat. Then he give me the low
down on the real objection.
It's not age. Some of 'em
want a real wet. They want
dry head and a wet tail to the
ticket. He said he understood
that Mr.. Dawes was out and
that from his latest talk with
Chicago that he was still the
candidate.
Then I called up General
Dawes in Washington who was
at the Willard hotel, and we had
a mighty pleasant chat; didn't
cuss. Just asked me If I had
read his statement. Said he
had nothing new to add to it.
I told him they needed him
mighty bad, not only on this
job, but pretty near any job we
have to do in this country.
1 told him that if it was on
account of his private business,
to not let that stop him, that
no vice-president had ever ex-
actly over worked, that there
is no better time to concentrate
on something important than
when some senator is speak
ing for two days on nothing at
all.
Now, maybe 1 convinced him,
