BOSTON, Sept. 18.?Massachusetts
Republicans in state convention to-day
Indorsed the national candidates and
platform by unanimous vote on the re?
port of its committee on resolutions.
The convention declared that the party
in this state was with Senator Harding
in his stand on the League of Nations.
The speakers Included Governor
Coolidge, Senator Lodge and Lieuten
ant-Govemor Channing Cox, the party
candidate for Governor.
lite convention was the first in
which women had taken an active part,
and was the first also under the new
rule by which state officers are elected
for terms of two years.
The league plank of the platform, '.
said to be acceptable alike to Senator
Lodge, Governor i oolldgo and repre?
sentatives of 'other views on United
States participation in a world league,
was almost the only one on which dif?
ferences had developed in committee, i
It added: "We stand with our Candi?
dates, Warren G. Harding and Calvin
Coolidge, for such agreement witn
other nations as will preserve the
peace of the world and prevent future
war; for such agreement as will meas?
ure up to the full duty of America to
civilization and humanity and as shall
insure that 'the heritage of American
nationality shall be unimpaired, and
unsurrendered.' "
Governor Coolidge's selection as the
party candidate for Vice-President
was declared to be a subject for re?
joicing. The party in the state, it was
added, stands squarely on the platform
adopted by the national convention.
"A friendly but firm policy toward
Mexico that will insure respect for the
/?.lerican flag and protection of the
rights of American citizens" was rec?
ommended.
On the tariff question reference was
made to a declaration by the Demo?
cratic candidate for Vice-President that
the tariff is a dead issue, with the
further statement that "while results
of the war still protect American in?
dustry, the certainty remains that
when the nations of the world turn
their attention again to manufacture.
their goods will flood the American
market, shut, down our factories and
throw out of employment our wage
earners unless a party favorable to
a protective tariff is in power."
The party in the state was pledged
to "take the last vital step in equal?
ity ("of women) by removing every
legal obstacle which prevents their
holding any elective office.'' Equal
representation of men and women on
all political committees was favored.
For Economic Measures
Revision and extension of the laws
passed by th? last Legislature to meet
housing shortage conditions, check
profiteering and stay evictions so that
"the distressing conditions still pre?
vailing" may be met, were recom?
mended. The Legislature was urged
to "correct and improve the primary
law so that nomination^ for office shall
reflect with greater accuracy the will
of the people."
Recognition by the national conven?
tion of the importance of the farmer
was indorsed, and legislative and Ad?
ministrative action to provide better
transportation and market facilities,
to facilitate bank credits to farmers
and to make available a supply of farm
labor and aid in acquisition of farms
was advocated.
The party was pledged to enact leg?
islation for maternity benefits; school
teachers were declared to be still un?
derpaid, and the policemen's strike in
Boston a year ago was recalled with
reaffirmation of the position taken by
Governor Coolidge.
Under suspension of the rules thi
convention passed two additional te?
intions, one, introduced by Speaker
Warner of the House of Represent!!
tives, expressing gratification over re
ports of improvement in the conditiov
of former Senator W. Murray Crane
and hope for his eariy and complete re

Coolidge CrittcisM Cox Method!
Governor Coolidge' fit his address
?aid that Governor Cox. after attempt?
ing the r?le of an idealist, had turned
to the coarse methods of ward poli?
tic*, resorting to wilder and wilder
charges.
The Governor said the Democratic
nominee for President was named by a
convention in which "idealista had very
little influence." "Yet," he added, "af?
ter receiving a baptism of idealism at
the White House he attempted for a
time the r?le of an idealist. He was
to be the apostle of the 'great and sol?
emn referendum.' His address of ac?
ceptance) started that way.
"But the success has not been
marked. Soon the methods of ward
politics prevailed. To that eminent
valetudinarian in the White House, a
master of logical expression, correct of
style, always dignified, as he has be?
held his exponent resorting to coarser
and coarser methods, wilder and wilder
charges, the referendum must for him
become solemn and more colemn."
The Democratic Administration of
the last eight years was termed by Gov?
ernor Coolidge a "chapter of accidents"
and a "mirror of false hopes and false
security." The people, he said, for a
time mistook the mirage for a reality,
but, through support of Republican
candidates and principles, he asserted
the country "is turning again to real?
ities."
Our Pre-war Condition
"The result of the system of govern?
ment in force from March 4, 1913, to
August 1, 1914, at home and abroad,
will not soon be fogotten. We sank
: to a place of contempt in the estima?
tion of foreign peoples. The discipline
j of the navy was demoralized. The
abounding prosperity of the nation was
turned to a state of adversity by break?
ing down the system of protection and
by destroying the confidence of those
engaged in all business enterprise. The
| cost of living was lowered, but profit
I able employment, the only means
i wherewith the people could meet any
I cost, reached well nigh the point of
disappearance. The charge laid
! against Republicans of countenancing
I the wicked principle of putting the
? dollar above the man was entirely out
? done by the Democratic practice, which
' put the dollar completely out of reach
; of the man.
"By making America the great source
of food supply and one mighty work?
shop and munition factory the great
1 war slowly relieved the business de
| pression and effectually remedied eco
: nomically what an unwise government
had ruined. But the war is over now.
j It did not provide a permanent remedy
for the destructive policy that had
been adopted. That remedy has yet to
be applied by treatment of the present
economic needs of the country accord?
ing to present Republican principles."
"In the fall of 1916," the speaker
| said, "the people in spite of warning
| voices gave their confidence to that
Administration which had made no
preparation for their defence and
| sought reelection not because platfoim
pledges had been kept, or cost or living
! lowered, but on the ground that,it had
kept us out of war, which to most peo?
ple meant thnt we would be kept out
; of war. In spite of all this a few hun?
dred votes in California would have de
; feated the Democratic Administration.
Wilson's Historic Appeal
"The next national election was on
November 5, 1918, six days before
Armistice Day, November 11, that day
| which will stand out as the culmina?
tion up to the present time of the
! march of liberty. Just prior to the
election that historic appeal, so re
| sented by Americans, who for months
j had given their all to their country,
J came from the White House, demand
! ing that their sacrifices should be con
j sidered to have been made for a party
| benefit. In spite of this appeal, in
spite of the victories of our forces, in
i spite of the fact that we were at war,
? the American people turned away.
: They chose a Republican House and a
| Republican Senate. An Administration
j victorious on the field, which had to its
i credit some wise and sound legislation,
1 was repudiated at the polls.
"The Republican pa>-ty has not been,
is not, lacking in idealism, either in its
! history, purposes or leaders. Who can
| name an established ideal they have
i not cherished? There is none. It has
but now furnished four-fifths of the
I states necessary to enroll the idealism
I of the nation in the public service
through equal suffrage. Through the
ages woman had been natural counsel?
lor of man. In her solicitude for the
welfare of her children she is the ideal?
ist of the world. She is destined to
.walk hand'in hand-with Republican
purposes to the glory of our nation."
Chairman Hall in his address open?
ing the convention warned against over
confidence. "It's * fight," he said,
"every minute untjl 4 o'clock on No?
vember 2."
Senator Lodge In his address said, in
part:
"You know what happened in Maine.
The significant thing is ndt merely the
size of the majority, but the fact that
a great majority of the women en?
rolled themselves and voted as Repub?
licans.
"But a majority of the women In
Maine did not account for the huge
Republican vote. That could only be
explained by the fact that hundreds
and thousands of the Democratic men
changed their votes; and they were vot?
ing on one question, the only question
discussed in Maine, the question of the
league, and they were voting as Amer?
icans. They have not come to us per?
manently. I hope some have, but they
know and feel deeply that this is an
American question, and they feel, as a
leading Democrat, who said to me in
the Senate: 'I hate to confess it as r
Democrat, but this will be the third
time that the Republican party has
been called upon to save the United
States. You did it in the Civil War;
you saved us from the desolation of 16
to 1, and now the championship of
American rights abroad has been
forced into your hands by a Demo?
cratic leader.' "
Speaking of the treaty, Senator
Lodge said: '"Mr. Wilson defeated us
because he would have no treaty but
his own." (A cry of "Throw him out!"
to which Senator Lodge quickly re?
plied: "Yes; that's what we are going
to do.")
Continuing, the Senator said: "But
if we asked nothing and received noth?
ing we had a right to say what we
should give, llie only claim they have
on us is our duty to humanity. If we
cannot trust ourselves to use our vast
powers for the benefit of mankind let
me tell you there is nobody else I
should prefer to trust. Selfish, they
say, but let me repeat, it is the self?
ishness of patriotism.
No Personal Hostility for W'ilson
"They talk about my personal hos?
tility to the President. I have no per?
sonal hostility to him. He nas never
, crossed my path. He has never in
, jurod me. But I regarded him with
that treaty in his hand as a sinister
figure, endangering the future of my
country, and I did all in my power to
stop it. I think we have done some?
thing, and when we elect Senator Har?
ding and Governor Coolidge, as we
shall, we have got men who will try
to bring about a speedy peace which
will be for America and which will
not imperil her sovereignty and inde?
pendence."
The senior Senator was given an?
other ovation as he closed his address.

| Want League to Aid Irisb
SPRfNGFlr.,i.tj, -uass., Mop:. 18.?ine
I League of Nations was indorsed with
I the recommendation that the United
I States take up under it the question
! of the- status of Ireland in the plat?
form adopted by the Democratic State
I Convention here to-day. The plank was
adopted as submitted by the committee
ion resolutions, but only after a bitter
i light in behalf of substitute planks
?ollored from the floor, demanding a re
I i'udiation of the league and a recom?
mendation that the United States
! recognize the "Irish republic." The
? rest of the platform was adopted as
reported without debate.
The fight in behalf of the League of
1 Nations was led by former Mayor
.Theobold M. Connor, of Northampton,
chairman of the committee on rcsolu
j tions, who in the final vote found a
substantial majority of the convention
supporting him. The opposition was
!lcd by Representatives Thomas Niland
? and Robert E. Bigney and Francis J.
Finncran, president of the Democratic
I Club of Massachusetts, all of Boston.
' Several women delegates participated
! in the debate.
The convention by a rising vote later
adopted a motion to cable the Eng?
lish government requesting the re?
l?ense of Lord Mayor MacSwiney, now
on hunger strike.

Cox, if Elected,
Will Offer Hoover
Post in Cabinet
Governor Says Former Food
Administrator Has Type
of Trained Mind That
the Country Needs Now
RAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18.?Gov?
ernor Cox, in an address to-day before
a luncheon of business men, referred
to Herbert Hoover as tho type of
trained mind he would like to have
in his Cabinet if elected.
"Mr. Hoover's effective service in the
war was largely due to his thorough
training as an engineer," he said, "and
if I can induce him one of the best en?
gineers in the country will sit in my
Cabinet."
The Governor nlso favored in this
speech the abolishing of the excess
profits tax which, he said, was justified
during the war, but no longer neces?
sary. He suggested the -substitution
of a tax of 1 or 1 V? por "cent on the
volume of business of a firm.
A fund by which the Fresident could
buy- an entire sugar crop or in any
other way meet a food crisis when Con?
gress was not in session was proposed
by Governor Cox. He said the gov?
ernment should have inventories of all
food .supplies to forestall alarm over
the possibilities of food shortages.
Radical activities throughout the
West and profiteering were discussed
by Governor Cox at a luncheon address
before the San Francisco Center, an
organization of women.
Mrs. Alfred McLaughlin, president of
the Center, presided at the meeting
and touched briefly on the career and
policies of Governor Cox.
OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 18.?Sugar
profiteers were arraigned to-night by
Governor Cox, speaking from the ros?
trum where Fresident Wilson made one
of the last speeches preceding his
breakdown. The candidate reviewed
attempts by the President to ??throne
profiteers who have reigned for "five
long years, sordid, soulless, ugly and
hateful." ?
