Cleveland, Ohio.—The national con
vention of the Sofialist party of Amer
ica July 7 formally enlisted under the
La Follette prsidentlal banner,
adopted a report offered by u majority
of u committee of 15, recommending
that the convention concur in the ac
tion of the Conference for Progressive
Political Action In Indorsing the La
Follette candidacy on his platform.
The action came after a six-hour de
ba'e In which 82 of the 157 delegates
in the convention took part,
conducted under strict rules, each side
being given 15 minutes to start and
finish the discussion and miscellaneous
It
It was
delegates being allowed
each. Two exceptions were made to
this, Alexander Cahn, editor of a
Jewish newspaper, and Daniel Hoan,
mayor of Milwaukee, being given
double time.
Eight of the speakers argued for a
minority report, which would have re
sulted In a separate Socialist national
ticket and platform and three spoke
for a substitute, which would have ae
cepted the majority idea with reserva
tions as to the vice presidency.
By adopting the majority report the
convention concurred not only in La
Follette'« indorsement, but also In last
week's conference decision to postpone
a vice presidential nomination until
after the Democratic convention.
Chicago.—Representative John W.
Nelson, of Wisconsin, leader of the La
Follette forces in the house, arrived
here July 7 to open notional head
quarters and assume management of
the La Follette campaign. PhHlip La
Follette, of the senator, was also
here.
Huston Thompson, of Colorado, ■
chairman of the trade commission, and
Senator Wheeler, Montana, are among
the vice presidential nominees looked ;
upon with favor by our people," he !
said. "It is possible we will indorse
the Democratic nominee for vice presi
dent instead of selecting an independ
ent as running mate, but that depends
upon who Is nominated. Probably !t
would be considered better for the sen
ator to have his own running mate."

FILIPINO SOLDIERS STRIKE
FOR WAGE INCREASE
Manila.—A number of Filipino sow
dlers of the Fifty-seventh infantry
have refused to perform duty. It Is
reported a bolshevistic organization
has been formed among them. Eight ■
arrests were made.
rp be refusal to perform duty resulted
from a raid carried out July 5, on a 1

0 f whom are Filipinos, at Fort Mc
Kinley. Another result of the raid is
I
that all the Filipinos on duty there are 1
suspected of bolshevistic activities.
The military authorities believe the |
Infantrymen construe their action, as a j
peaceable strike to obtain increased j
pay and allowances. These are less j

The raid resulted
from information reaching officers
that a bolshevist secret organization
was being formed among the troops.
