REPUBLICANS FRAME CONVENTIOM PLATFORM: NO DECISION ON VICE-PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE , MONDELL GIVES SPEECH TODAY AS CHAIRMAN OF CONVENTION Wyoming, Man Makes Appeal for G. 0. P. Majorities This Fall CLEVELAND, 0., June 11.—President Coolidge has justified the confidence that "inspired” his nomination for vice-president at Chi cago, and the greater con fidence reposed in him since taking up the duties of chief executive, is the ‘‘outstanding fact” in the politi cal situation. Frank W. Mondell, of Wyoming, declared today in his ad dress as permanent chairman of the Republican national convention. Mr. Mandell adued an appeal for * Republican majorities in congress “in name and in principle" saying that every serious fault of recent legislation would have been avoided had the president had that strength in house and senate. The chairman assailed the Demo crats for their "utter lack of fixed and definite principle or policy, save that of muck-raking and obstruc tion." Referring to ttio situation in the last congress, when insurgents joined with Democrats tb control legislation. Mr.- Mondell said that never before had the necessity for dependable party majority and de finite party responsibility been so t clearly demonstrated. The text of Mr. Mondejl's address follows. Indies and Gentlemen of the Con vention: We are’met as the representa tives of a great political party that has never failed nor faltered in its service or loyalty to th© Republic; that has never proposed nor advo cated an unwise or unsound national policy, and it is our.privllege on be half of this party to place in nomina tion for the highest offices in the gift of the American people condl dates who shall measure up to the finest standards of party leadership and who shall be entitled to and. we confidently believe, will receive the support of a large majority of the American voters at the polls in No vember. We meet profoundly applicative of wise, patriotic and inspiring party leadership tn the past, and earnestly thankful that the kindly providence and the great good fortune which gave our party and the nation Lin coln. McKinley, Roosevelt und Hard ing has vouchsafed us as the worthy successor of these distinguished pa yfc triots the confidence inspiring character of Calvin Cooligde. The American people placed the stamp of their approval on the candi dates of the last Republican national convention by a majority of more than five and a half million. Time and ©tents have abundantly justi fied that unparalleled endorsement. He who was chosen as the party standard-bearer proved his states manship in the skillful handing and wise adjustment of important and weighty domestic nnd interna tional questions .and problems. Dili gent in the nation's business, wise in public counsel, honest und cour ageous in action, he gave himself unreservedly, mind and body,'heart nnd soul, to th© nation and became as truly a martyr to patriotic ser vice ns any soldier stricken on the field of battle. How well he fitted nnd became the great office to which ho was chosen! History will write his name high on the roll of able and effic ient executives, but wo who knew ijand loved him best will cherish most (Continued on Page Eight) FARMER KILLS WITH CROWBAR FORT MORGAN, Colo., June 11.—Two persons are dead and. two are believed dying today as a result of an attack with an iron crowbar by George Bath, a farmer, upon members of his family while they were sleeping in their ranch home six miles northeast of here, early today. Bath, following the attack killed himself by hanging in a barn at th© rear of hi* horns. _ The circulation of The Tribune is greater than any other Wyoming newspaper.' > ißatlu (Erthitm' Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation • DRIVING IT HONE Reading Between Lincs in the Day’s News of Casper. For all practical purposes bobbed hair cannot be beat. Its effect in enhancing or detracting from beauty is problematical. But when a girl in Wyoming goes out into the wilds fpr a holiday she has about half the worry over ticks that the long haired sisters do. From Laramie comes the word that a tick travel ing up a girl's spine has little chance of housing Itself in her hair If her hair is short. As soon as the bristles on the back of her neck are traversed she is tickled—and warned. A dog hikes 50 miles into Sheri dan to be with his master who left him. There are lots of men who wish their wives were that way. Well, some wives are; they will take a beating and only whimper. Rut most wives aren't; they are the kind that malic real mothers of real men who are not looking for wives who have caninc fidelity. With the growing uncertainty in Cleveland as to the proper running mate for Calvin Coolidge, it would not be at all surprising if—Frank W. Mondell, for instance—were chosen vice presidential candidate. Republican party knows well the capabilities and strength of Mr. Mondell and, better, can tell where he stands and can count on him. ♦ I BALL SCORES | National League. At Brooklyn— It. 11. E.

The committee wanted the presi dent’s views on the power the florid court should have to enforce its de cisions. The platform draft, it was said, is about 6,000 words in length. Prohibition, it is understood, is not specifically mentioned although law enforcement forms the- basts of one plank. The only plank which might be interpreted as referring to the Ku Klux Klan is described as a de rlaration reaffirming the party’c de votion to the constitution and its guarantees of religious, social and political.

On agriculture, which was oue of tho most troublesome questions In the subcommittee sessions, it was agreed to pledge an effort to restore and equitable balance between agri culture prices and Industrial com modity levels. There is no reference to the McNary Haugen bill sponsored In the recent session of congress by Secretary Wallace and the Insur gent group. The plank also expresses strong approval of the flexible tariff provisions to the present law and another embodies n plea for party High Spots and Humor of the G. O. P. Session—Even the Leading Politicians Have Time to Find Fun In the Convention Proceedings BY ROBERT T. SMALL, (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune). CLEVELAND. 0., June 11.—Delegates and visitors to the Republican national convention had just about got acclimated when the first session opened in the beautiful public hall down by the lake. This is the first G. O. P. conclave held away from Chicago in 20 long years. Chicago had become a sort of a habit with the followers of Lincoln. They had decided to go there again this year when President Coolidge step ped in and said ne preferred Lake Erie to Lake Michigan. So Lake Erie got the verdict by a handsome majority. Ft has been difficult to convince some of the visitors that there real ly is a lake down by the convention hall. For three days the weather was cloudy, smoky and murky nnd shy Lake Erie bus l>een hiding her self behind tho smoky veil. It has been something of a wrench for soine'of tho old timers Io tear themselves away from the Windy City. They dont know just yet why Chicago was put on the administration blacklist, but they have found Cleveland a delightful substitute and Cleveland has ab sorbed the convention without any outward signs of indigestion, politi cal or otherwise. Tho convention has proved n great novelty here.

BERKELEY, Calif., June 11.—August Vollmer, who first won fame as Berkeley’s scientific chief of police, and who later, answering the same call of fame, went to Los Angeles to become chief of police there, has just discovered that scientific methods of crime detection, coupled with equally scientific ways of getting front page publicity, can not cope with insiduous, if somewhat less scientific, “home town” politics.

While the session was In progress ’ho platform committee was hold ing a heated meeting In a council, room nearby but when the time for receiving its report arrived. Charles D. Hilles of New York announced tluit It wns not ready and moved for a recess until 8 p. m. A largo proportion of the dele gates did not want to recess and there were loud cries of "no" when the question was put. Chairman Mondell, however, declared with a loud bang of the gavel that “tho uyea have it," and tho band took the proceedings in hand at that point and tho delegates filed out. Among other things in its short session t he convention in adopting tho rules approved a now arrange ment by which women will have equal representing with mon on th* national committee. Again as nt yesterdays session, there was a long nnd ioud demon stration when tho rallying cry of pnrty regularity nnd loyality to Coolidge was sounded by Permanent Chairman Mondell In a short ad dress. He got the delegates to their feet all but tho IjiFollette men from Wisconsin —by asking for a Re publican congress that would re main Republican after tho election. Secretary Hoover's statement in Washington declining to bo consid ered for tho vice presidency put btill another element of uncertainty into the contest for second place on tho ticket and as the convention broke up and the delegates went back to their hotels no one was prepared to say Just what the final effect vzould be. Mr. Howland made quite a speech and he started a -cresundo of cheer ing when ho announced that the committee hud given "to the ladles'* equal representation* on the nation al committee.

The .new apportioned plan n* worked out at tho December meet ing of the national commit too was also explained nt length by Mr. Howland, who then rend tho wholo report of tho committee. Tho delegates listened patiently for a while but they began to grow restless as Die complicated legal plumes describing the In's and out's of tho apportionment plan rolled out over tho hall in monotonous sue cession. Many of those on tho floor were In whispered conference. The report of Secretary Hoover's state ment In Washington declining to i>w considered for tho vice presidency was passed around among the lead ers who nt once begun to reassess the situation In the light of thi* latest development. After he had been going good sots more than a quarter of an hour Mr. Howland got a laugh by reading a convention rule contained In the committee report and providing that no one could s]>eak for more than five minutes. > It is not customary to road In detail the reports of convention committees and it became apparent that the convention managers were killing time in the pope that the platform committee would bring in Its report soon.
