The committee on resolutions was
given by A. A. Silver of Derby Center
nd expressed the hearty appreciation
of the convention to the First Baptist
Church, the neighboring churches and
ill the community for their kind and
gracious hospitally. Also an cxpres1
slon of deep nppreclalon of the earnest
and successful work of Dr. W. A. Davi
son, superintendent of Missions, of ap
preciation to the churches of the
State for success In the financial drive
In tho new world movement. Strong
resolutions were passed In approval of
the lSth Amendment and It was recom
mended that the denomination demand
that the candidates for political office
shall stand square for enforcement of
this new article of the constlutlon,
that churches of the State consistently
continue their efforts for the final
success of the $100,000,000 drive. In
connection with resolutions relatijig to
the relation of tho northern Baptist
convention to the Intorchiirch World
Movement and its withdrawal from
cn-operatlon with this movement after
June 20, 13n, nr. Davison, said that
In view of apparent misunderstanding
on the part of many In relation to this
matter Hie denomination at Buffalo
expressed Its- deep Interest and co
operation in the fundamental things
for which the Interchurch World Move
ment stands and the purpose of the
withdrawal wn due solely lo lis own
failure to accomplish Its own ends. In
order to conserve those things which
have really been gained through this
organization, an appropriation of ffiO,
nno has been made, of which $S.lP.fl may
be used yearly in order that tne offi
cials of the prtMDOttefl board might
make such co-operative arrangements
as they deemed wise with the officials
of other evengelical denominations, to
the carrying out of all possible co
operative efforts for the evangeliza
tion of the worl.l, avoiding the oyer
lapping of their efforts and such plans
an shall aid In a constructive develop
ment of the things for wlilch all de
nominations stand.
The committer on as,-ociatlon reported
that it proposed to hold this fall special
conferences -In October in the different

URGES LOUISIANA
10 TAKE ACTION
Governor Cox Says D a t y of
Legislature to Democrats Is
to Ratify Suffrage Amend
ment at Once
Dayton, Ohio, July 7. If the Legislature
of Louisiana acts In acconrt with the
opinion of Governor .lamer M. Cox, tho
Domocratlc nominee for President, women
will bo enfranchised to vote at the Novem
ber election and the Democratic Party
may get tho credit for making universal
suffrage a fact.
In a telegram to Frank J. Looney, chair
man of the Louisiana State Central com
mltteto. Governor '"oy expressed It as his
opinion that the Louisiana Legislature
owes It as a du' 'ie Democratic Par
ty to ratify a Mr. Looney had
wired the govc dmg him to express
his views to tin slaturc and ratifica
tion of the ninri-l'iU'llt
In his oflieial capacity as governor or
Ohio .the Democratic candidate h.is re
peatedly placed hlmscll on record as be
ing in favor of giving the vote to women.
Ho ha3 signed a number of bills Intended
to enfranchise women In this State and
in a special messnge to the Legislature
transmitting tho federal amendment for
ratlllratlon, he urged favorable action.
Consequently, his frank opinion express
ed to-day on the subject was not unex
pected here.
It was stated to-day by those in cloo
touch with the Democratic presidential
candidate that he contemplated conduct
ing his campaign chiefly from Columbus.
...i.pp h,. will necessarily have to ho
much of the time In connection wun nis
duties as Governor. His Dayton menus,
however, anticipate that his uomc cu
will be one of the principal nerve centers
i.. n. o rammlcn and that no small part
of h campaign work will be conducted
from his newspaper otrice. it lias nceu
the practice of the Governor to come
home each Friday from Columbus and
spend the week-end wlt'h his family .it
Trail's F.nd and at his newspaper onue.
No nolltical conferences of Importance
are expected until the party leaders re
turn from San Francisco. inc visu ui
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the vlec-presidcn-tlal
nominee, which Is expected Saturday,
Is not anticipated to develop Into any
thing more than an exchange of felici
tations. Mr. Roosevelt will top here on his
way home from the convention. The
Covernor spent most of to-day nt his
newspaper ofllce receiving callers and
reading messages of congratulations which
'have poured into his olllce In a constant
stream since early Tuesday morning.
Among them were felicitations from all
the candidates who were contenders for
the honor that camo to tho nnio uev
ernor, Vice-President and Mns. Mar-
shall, cabinet members, governors, politi
cal leaders or both parties, representatives
of labor, business men and personal
friends.
One message from Franklin K. Lane,
former secretary of the Interior, said:
"I sincerely congratulate you and the
country. Do give us a campaign that If
constructive, that will challenge the inter
est and support of the new voters. The
people want to hear a definite word as to
home affairs as well as foreign.
To-night the Governor talked golf with
the contestants in the Ohio golf tourna
ment at ,i dinner at the Dayton Country
club.
There Is an erroneous impression that
coif is a rich man's game. It is not. A
set of clubs don't cost much," he said.
He declared It neouraged outdoor life
mil particularly country living.
"If I have one public hobby that Is mors
outstanding than any other, It has been
the preachment or 'more homes.' lou
can preach patriotism to a man and
ipneal to his fienso of duty, but you can t
make the sort of appeal to him that ho
gains from his own reflections after he
owns a home. He buys a lot, and, quite,
often borrows money to build a home;
his hopes are centered In the enterprise,
and 'he works for it and it becomes his
own particular interest In his general
allotment on God's foodstool.
"When he Anally achieves his objective
and owns his home, he realizes it is his
and that he is protected In his ownership
by his government; that under the laws
he Is clven tho right to transfer what
ho has earned to the next generation
and reallr.es that this generation, too, will
be protected.
"He gets a real object lesson of the
relation that exif.ts hetween the govern
ment and the. Individual."

SAYS CONG. GREENE
Rutland, July 7. Congressman Frank L
Greene was here to-day after having ad
dressed a Rotary Club meeting last eve
nine. Asked as to whether he thought
Senator Warren G. Harding a strong can
didate for president, he replied, "People
have the wrong Idea about candidates.
When we vote for a president of the Unit
ed States we are not handing an honor
to some man; we are expressing our np
proval of the principles of a great party
which stands for a new government. We
havo had enough of one man power dur
lug the last eight years, It does not take
such a great man to be president. There
are a ndmbcr of men right here In Ver
mont who could fill the ofllce. True it re-
quires good executive ability and sound
common sense, but It is not the sterling
qualities of the. man that count for so
much as It Is a power to stand behind
the party that Is looking out for the coun
try's needs.
"It's a now government that the people
want."

Mnntpelier, July 7. The Granite city
Washington, July 7. (By tho Associated
Press,) The Mexican situation is rccelv
Ing more careful study by the American
government than has any subject since
the. Paris peace conference, It was stated
to-day at the State department. This Is
with a view to according recognition to
Do La Huerta's provisional government
provided satisfactory assurances are given
that It can and will maintain order and
will live up tc its obligations respecting
the protection oi the lives and property
of foreignets
(stasias Calderon. the special envoy sent
by Di La Hucrta to urge recognition, will
ask for another conference with Actln:
Secretary Davis .is soon as he has din
cussed tjin dtuutlon with tho members of
his staff, who have Just arrived here
from Mexico city
American olllel.-tls, It is stated authorita
tively, are Impressed with the evident
sincerity of the expressions of Provisional
President Ie La llucrtn and of '.he efforts
to bring about order In Mexico, but they
have taken note, that tho active workers
In the various departments of the Mexi
can covernment have not been changed
and that the newly appointed cabinet
oniccrs leave the work of their oftlces
chiefly to the same men who conducted
the affairs under I'arranza.
Reports reaching Washington from
Mexico City state that foreigners who
went to the Mexican capital to compose
the differences between their companies;
agricultural, mlnlngNand manufacturlnc
nre forced to deal with the very men
who hamporcd their work and. in some
cases directed the confiscation of their
properties und(.r Carranza and that they
are meeting with the same difficulties as
before.
General Obregon's desires to reduce the
size of the army, as has been reported tn
official and unofriclal advices from Mex
ico City, are believed by officials to lie
sincere, but It Is noted the army has been
Increased by 30,0on men as a result oi
the revolution. Official reports recelvcn
here have, told of the efforts that aro be
ing made to "moralize" the army by stop
ping the abuses to life and property.
r.eneral Calles has Issued a strong or
der of the plaza on this subject."
The treasury department has estimated
that the cost of the army at present is
one million pesos a day, and Salvador Al-
varado. acting secretary of the treasury
officially announced tnat there were "S.ooo
of lo.OOfi" people living on the nation by
the. padding of payrolls
One of the most serious of the mil
itary abuses that the government has
not yet been able to correct Is the with
holding of railway cars and locomo
tives In spite of specific o-ders for
their return to the. owners- More than
3,000 cars are still In the possession of
the military and tho railway operators
say it Is Impossible to maintain
freight or passenger schedules, un
less the cars are restored to them. Gen
eral Louis M. Hernandez has been
sent on a tour of inspection of all the
lines with ordeis to compel the mil
itary chiefs to return the cars.
The school teachers In Mexico City
havo not been paid since June 1(1 and
recently a petition was sent to the Sen
ate asking for the restoration of the
department of public Instruction which

SUPPORT REPUBLICAN
PARTY, SAYS JOHNSON
California Senator Ismiro Flnt State
ment Since Chicago Contention
San Francisco, July 7. Support of
the Republican party "with a candidate
standing four square upon the plat
form." Is the only choice left "those
who hcllevc In safe-guarding, protect
ing nnd preserving our Americanism,"
Senator Hiram W. Johnson or Califor
nia, declared In a statement at his homo
here to- lay.
"For more than a year the contest
over the President's League of Nations
has been waged In Congress," Senator
Johnson's statement said. "It has been
the all-engrossing and naramount Is
sue."
Of necessity this issue came to the
conventions of the great political par
ties, both Republicans and Democrats'
in their platforms have Indulged In the
usual political verbosity, but never
theless these platforms, In direct op
position to eacli other, sharply define
and clearly present tho question for
decision in the November election.
"The Republican party declared that
the President'. covenant failed signal
ly tn accomplish its purpose, and con
tained stipulations not only Intolerable,
for an In lepcndont people, but certain
to produce an Injustice, hostility and
'repudiated to a degree wholly un
necessary and unjustifiable, the time
honored policies In favor of peace de
clared hy Washington, Jefferson and
Monroe."
"The Republican party stands, there
fore, firmly agalns the President's
covenant as presented, denounces It as
breeding war rather than promoting
peace, and re-afflrms the time honor
ed, nation-old policies of Washington,
Jefferson and Morffoe.
"The Democratic, party on the other
hand, rejected every effort to modify
or qualify the President's proposed
League of Nations, endorsed 'he Pre
sident's attitude and took its position
in favor of the league as presented It
Is true that the Democrats, in effort
to placate, say they sanction reserva
tions which might make clearer or
more specific the obligations of the
United States, but the language Is
meaningless and does not at all alter
the essential position of the Democratic
party for the league a.s presented.
"The two parties acted in similar
fa.'hion in one aspect, but from different
motives and for different rea-sons. Both
rejected the pleas for tho adoption nf
the league with reservations, the Demo
rratu because they were for the league as
presented and because no reservations
devised by the human mind could antici
pate the contingencies which might arise
in the future (mm an Instrument of such
potential possibilities for 'harm.
"Thus the Issue finally comes from the
forum of Congress to the final arbitra
ment of the American people. The over-
whadowlng question In the campaign
therefore, Is whether we enter the mael.
strom or Kuropean and Asiatic politics
and diplomacy and become a part of the
cynical imperialism of tho old world, or
whether America shall live 'her life in
her own way, Independent, unfettered,
mindful always or her obligations to
humanity and civilization, but rree tn act
as each crisis shall arise, and maintain
ing always the policy of Washington and
lefferson and Monroo of friendship with
all nations, entangling alliances with
none.
"With a candidate standing four jquare
upon the platform, the issue leaves those
who believe in safeguarding, protecting
and preserving our Americanism hut one
e'holrp, and that Is to support the Repub
llcan party "
Montpelier. July 7. The Vermont De
partment of Agriculture Is preparing an
exhibit of Vermont products for tho
i:nstcni States Agricultural and Indus
trial Imposition to be held at Springfield,
Mass., September 19-25.
Last season the attendance at tho ex
position averaged about ro.ooi) dally. Tho
State of Vermont appropriates J1.000 nn
nually for this exhibit, but to make a
showing In keeping with those of the other
New Kngland States it Is necessary to
spend considerably more than this ap
propriation. The deficit last season was
met by the proceeds from a sale of Ver
mont Maple Products. This not only fi
nances the exhibit, but advertises th.
Vermont Mnaple sugar Industry. It is
planned this season to enlarge the exhibit
.somewhat ami to add to the sale list
dairy products, Vermont Ice cream nnd
Vermont fruit. For this purpose additional
space has been secured and an attempt
Is being made to Interest the manufac
turers throughout the State In making
a catalog or circular exhibit. Space Is ex
nenslve and limited, but a booth 11x21
feet Is available for that purpose. Tills
can be rented and fitted up for approxl

CLAIM RATIFICATION IN
WEST VA. FRAUDULENT
Washington, July 7. Proceedings asking
that Balnbrldgc Colby, secretary of state
be enjoined from Issuing any procwima.
tion declaring the suffrage amendment
ratified were Instituted In the District of
Columbia Supreme Court v to-day by
Charles S. Falrchlld of New York, presi
dent of the American Constitutional
League,
Mr. Falrchlld also seeks to prevent
Attorney-General Palmer from enforcing
the amendment. Justice Bailey Issued a
rule on Secretary-Colby and the attor-ney-genernl
to show cause July 13 why
the motion should not be granted.
The basis of the proceedings Is the claim
that the ratification of the amendment
hy the West Virginia Legislature was Il
legal because accomplished by fraud and
that the projiosed ratification by tho Ten
nessee Legislature also would be Illegal
on tho ground that tho Legislature lacked
authority under the State's constitution
to act on the measure.
Only S." States havo ratified tho amend
ment and as ratification by ono other Is
necessary the attack on the amendment
through the courts at this tlfiie camo us
a surprise In suffrage circles here. All
attack on the legality of thectlon of the
Tennessee Legislature .had been expected,
but not until the Legislature actually had
acted,
In anticipation of such a move by the
anti-suffrage forces, tho organizations
supporting the amendment havo urged
early action hy more than 36 States so
that the amendment could become opera
tive in time to jiermlt tho women to vote
in tho presidential election ttils year.
Washington, July 7. (By the Associated
Presto-Restrictions on trade with Sov et
Russia were removed to-day by the Sta'o
department except In so far as they per.
tain to the shipments of materials susceut
Ible nf Immediate use for war purpowy
An Individual export license must bo
obtained for tho shipment of such materi
als and It was announced that such li
censes would be granted only in exception
al cases.
Individual export licenses also will ho
required for the export to Russia or lo
comotives, railroad material and rolli s
stock and motor cars In component pait .
The State department's action wh In
taken Independently or other natlol s,
followed extensive exchanges betwrui
the United States and Great Brlta n
and France. It R believed to have been
hastened hy the recent negotiation be
tween Gregory Krassin, representing
the Holshevikl government and Pre
mier Lloyd George looking to the r -sumption
of trajc between Great Bri
tain nnd Russia,
In announcing its action the State
department took particular pains to
state that political recognition, present
or future, of any Russian authority ex
ercising nr claiming to exercise, govern
mental functions was neither gran ed
nor intended. It also emphasized that
individuals or corporations trading
with Russia would do so on their o n
rf sponsiblllty and at their own ri3l
as this covernment couM offer no pn.
tectlon to Americans going to Russia
or trading with Russia.
The statement was also made by tin
department that Indications were th 'f
Russia had only a small quantity of r iv
materials for export; that its purchasn g
power was very limited and that ran e.
quently there would not be any cons
erable trade with that country.
DKPARTMKNTS ANNOUNCEMENT
The announcement by the department-
follows:
(The restrictions which have heretofoin
stoorl In the way of trade and oommur
cation with soviet Russia were t-d
removed by nr.tinn of the department f
State. Such of these restrictions, noivn r
as pertain to the shipment of ma'cni s
susceptible of immediate use for war p
poses will, for the present at least, bo
maintained.
Political recognition, present or fu'ttre.
of any Russian authority exercising r
laimlng to exorcise governmental fun
tlons, is neither granted nor implied bv
this action. It should he emphasized more
over that individuals or corporations
availing themselves or the present oppor
tunity to trade with itussla will do so on
their own responsibility and at their own
risk. The assistance which the United
States can normally extend tojts citizens
who engage In trade or travel In sonio
foreign country whose government is rec
ognized by the United Slates, cannot ho
looked for In t lie present case, since theie
Is no official or representative Russ m
authority witli which this government in
maintain the relations usually subsisting
between nations. The action which t io
United States is now taking in no n
constitutes a recognition nf the va id y
of industrial or commercial conces'i'" is
ranted by anv existing Russian aufiorify.
American citizens availing themselves of
the present relaxation or lestrictions am
warned against the risks incident to i io
acceptance or commodities or other val
ues, the title to which may later bo
brought into que.stjnn.
WILL ISSUE NO PASSPORTS
"The situation which at present pre
vails relative to travel rrnm or to Russia,
will be unaffected by the removal of tradn
restrictions. Passports for Russia can
not he issued, nop will any change bo
made in the vise regulations now in fori e.
"Since it is not desirable at this tlnio
tn undertake negotiations wtt'h the soviet
postal authorities, the postofllre depart
ment will be unable to accept mail from
or to soviet Russia There has never
been any parcel post convention between
the United States and Russia and thla
mode nf forwarding goods is, therefore,
unavailable."
This formal announcement was supple
mented hy the following statement
"While the indications nre that Rue-s a,
has but a small quantity of raw n i
terials available for export, that the pur
chasing power of Russia is very hmitid,
and that rnr those reasons there wi'l
not be any considerable trade, If any, w.'h
Russia, this government, however do.'3
not feel that the law abiding people In
Russia should be deprived of any assl. -anre
which can be derived from su
trading ns may be possihlo The .utitU' a
of the United States towards the recog
nition or any Taction in control of sovl t
Russia has not changed. This govern
ment Is not willing hy means of nolitii il
recognition tp lend positive assistance o
a faction whoto disregard" of the prinr -pies
or democracy Is evidenced at homo
by the maintenance or a minority des
potism, and abroad by an insidious cam
paign or propaganda to subvert popul ir
governmental Institutions expressive of
the will or the majority "
Trade between tin- United States a d
Russia has been prohibited since the B- -shevlki
calncrtvcontrol In that cnimtr i
year before tho end nt the Wnr'd W.i
Even bcrorc that time it had been limiir 1
because of the demoralized con lltlon f
Russian rallioads. Some export-:, most y
war material, had been sent to Vladiv -tok
and Archangel, but much of it was
never moved to tho Interior,
Requests that the State department l.ft
tho ban on trading with the Soviet have
been made by many Anieilcan exporting
and other business firms and American
government officials long have desired to
remove the restrictions so that the suffer
ing population might be aided in spile
of the Bolslievlki. Fears had been voiced,
however, that whatever went into tho
country for that population would he so -ed
by the Bolslievlki and converted to
their uses.
