swelling chorus of ayes uftlrnilng
the selection. Anothor wuve of deaf
ening cheers greeted the annntor as
he stopped onto the ple'form. It
was Just a minute before noon rhen
Sen. Lodge began speaking and his
address waa punctuated with cheers
and applause, and especially was
this a fact when he referred to the
parly of 18U0 and declared that It
must again come to the front for a
like service to the country. Pro
longed cheers and roars of approval
again burst forth until the very
foundations of the building appear
ed to vibrate with the demonstration
when Lodge declared everyone con
nected with the "dynasty of Wood
row Wilson must be driven from
power, not because they are demo
crats, but because Mr. Wilson's
theory of government la not Ameri
can." The defeat of the present ad
ministration, Lodge alleged, trans
cends evory other question. Wm
Jennings Bryan, from his seit In
the press stand, listened Intently to
Lodge's hot and vehement denuncia
tion of President Wilson and his as
sociates.
It took Senator Lodge exactly an
hour and eighteen minutes to deliver
his address, which be read from
manuscript. The convention ap
parently liked the keynote of Lodge's
arraignment of the political Issues,
and broke into wildest cheers, the
applause lasting several minutes,
lelesates standing on chairs, while
flaes were waved.
With the reading of Chalrmmi
Lodge's speech, appointment of sev

taken until 11 o'clock Wednesday.

(By Associated Press.) .
CHICAGO, June 8. The country
mum drive President Wilson and
his "dynasty" from power and de
Teat the league of nations as he de
sires It, declared Senator Henry Ca
mt I.odge. temporary chairman of
the republican National Convention,
in his keynote address here today.
Defending the senate's opposition to
the treaty of peace as a high and
patriotic duty, the senator flung
down the gauntlet: "We make the
issue; we ask approbation for what
we have done. The people will now
tell us what they think of Mr. Wil
son's league and the sacrifice of
America."
Salient points made by Mr. Lodge
were:
'Mr. Wilson and his dynasty, hl-i"
heirs and assigns or anybody that is
his, anybody who with bent knee
has served his purpose must be driv
en from all control, from all Influ
ence upon the government .of the
United States.
"They must be driven Ifrom of
fice and power, not because they are
democrats, but because Mr. Wilson
stands for a theory of administra
tion and government which is not
American.
"The return of the democrats to
power with Mr. Wilson or one of
his disciples still the leader and
master of agreed to party, which
before his advent . possessed both
traditions and principles, would be a
long step In the direction of the
autocracy for which Mr. Wilson
vearns and a heavy blow to the con
tinuance of the free representative
government as we have always con
ceived and venerated 'It.
"Mr. Wilson and the autocracy
he represents, and which those who
believe In his doctrines and share
his spirit represent, must be put
asldo and conclusively excluded
I'rotu any' future control.
The defeat of tho present ad
ministration and all It means, trans
cends in Importance every other
question and all immediate and
dominant 'Issues are bound up with
it. Without that defeat every
chance of the right settlement of
the mighty questions before us, so
sorely needed now and not later,
will depart.
"To maintain law and order and a
stable government where justice
rules and the right of all men, high
or low, rich and poor, shall be pro
tected, we must have a government
of the people, duly chosen by the
people, ami never must there be
permitted any government by a sin
gle man or by a group of men, or
by an organized minority.
Alany vital economic measures
and especially protective tariff leg
islation to guard our Industries, are
Impossible with a democratic free
trader df socialistic proclivities in
the White House. To accomplish
such measures as these, we must
have, as we intend to have, a repub
lican president. In sympathy with a
republican house and senate.
"The ripe of prices, the nigh cost
of living which reach daily into ev
ery home, is the most pressing, as It
Is the most difficult and most es
sential problem which confronts us.
Some of the sources of this trouble
can be reached by legislation, al
though not all, but everything that
can be effected by law should be
done at once.
"Profiteering, charging of extor
tionate and unjustified prices, which
Is stupid as well as unlav.iful, are
subject now to ample punitive laws.
Those laws should be enforced, oth
ers if necessary added, and tho of
fenders both great and small should
be pursued and punished.
"The most essential remedy for
high costs (or living) is to keep up
and Increase production and par
ticularly should .every effort bo
made to advance the productivity of
the farms.
"Over 600 Americans have been
murdered In Mexico. Carranza In
sulted the American government In
every possible way and still nothing
was done. We fell so low thai
when an American was seized, by
one of the many bands rt! brigands
land held for ransom, all that the
government of the United Stales
would do. was to offer to be the
channel for conveying the ransom
of their citizens to the highwaymen
who had seized them.
"We have watched and waiter;
lone enough. We need a firm hand
at the helm. The time hue come
to put an end to this Mexican sit
uation, which is a shame to the
United States and a disgrace to civ
ilization If we are to take part In
pacifying and helping the world, let
us begin hern at home in Mexico
"Let the Mexicans choose as their
president some strong and upright
man who Is frlondly to the United
States and determined to catahlUh
onlur and then let the United States
give him a real and cordial si.ppo'i
and ho strengthen ami uphold him
that he will be able to oxturnilnato
the ban din and put an eud to the
unceasing civil war.
"We have stopped Mr. Wilspn's
treaty and the question goes to the
people. In 191tl, Mr. Wilson won
on the cry that 'lie had kept ua out
of war.' Ho now demands the ap
proval of the American people for
his party and his administration on

COUNCIL TALKS
Spur Track for Cannery is Re
quested by A Rupert Co.
to Aid New Building
SIDEWALKS ORDERED
(hi Complaint of MwkIihI Council
. Orders Jolui Hunter to lliiild it
(uicreta Nldcwalk Ktwt of
Pino Street Warehouse.
Improvements to trie sidewalks,
buildings and streets of the city,
received a great deal of attention at
last night's council meeting. On ac
count of the absence of Mayor llam-j
ilton, W. 8. Powell, chairman of thai
council, presided.
One of the first matters considered
v as a petition presented by the A.
Rupert company, requesting a fran
chise granting permission for a rail
road spur across Washington street.
In order to reach the cannery which
will be built it will be necessary to
put In a spur track and the com
pany asks permission to cross the
street with this track. It was stated
that an application has been made
tt the public service commission and
Cltv Recorder Whipple stated tha
he had received notice from the com
mission of the filing of such a re
quest. City Engineer Summers stated
that the railroad company engineer
bad called on him and had requested
the city not to pave up to the right
of way but to give the company 4J
teet instead of 39 from tho center
of the right of way. It was stated
that the company desires to put in
two additional tracks and that more
room will be needed. The contract
for the paving of the street has al
ready been granted, and the council
waa undecided regarding the action
to bo tuken. It was the concensus
of opinion that everything possible
to aid the cannery company should
be done ami any reasonable request
will bo carefully considered. The
street committee was Instructed to
make on investigation uud report at
the next meeting in order thai
proper action might bo taken.
Considerable discussion occurred
regarding tho condition at the Hun
ter warehouse occupying the comer
at Pine, Sheridan and Oak streets
Along the east side of this structure
there Is no sidewalk, the warehouse
having old loading platforms extend
ing out to the curb line. Mursbul
Shambrook has made frequent com
plaints regarding these plutfornf,
claiming them to be in violation of
the sidewalk ordinance and also stal
ing that they are an eyesore. He re
quested the council to force Mr. Hun
ter to build walks on both the ua ,(
and west sides of the building.
Practically all of the members of
the council opposed the forcing of
walks along the west side, where
there Is a spur railroad track from
which cars are unlouded directly in
to the buildings, but on the east side
it was held that the walks should be
constructed and after considerable
discussion a resolution was passed
instructing the marshal to notify Mr.
Hunter to build the walks at once
and In the event of his failure after
proper notice to proceed to have the
walks constructed and assess the
cost as a lien against the property.
Another Improvement discussed
was the matter of requesting the
railroad company to make repairs at
the yarious crossings. It was shown
that 'all of the crossings aro very
rough and that some action should
be taken to make repairs. The city
(engineer advised proceeding witii
I the work and assessing the cost to
the company but the council voted to
first request the company to make
this Improvement and then in the
event of failure to proceed to smooth
up the crossings at the city's expense
and then tax the company for tho
cost.
It was also voted to grant the pe
tition of George Chandler, Charles
Vrickson, E. SummerB and l. J.
i Stewa
Vroin
art for the paving of the alley
Douglas to Court street directly
east of the courthouse property. The
alley Is to be paved with concrete.
The wooden sidewalks east of the
courthouse on Douglas street were
. . ,, lkl
"
While discussing sidewalks Coun
cilman Creason brought up the con
dition at the north end of the Deer
! creek bridge. On aeco-int of the
bridge being narrower than the
. street the sidewalks are not built on
the same line as is followed In other
places. On this account the city has
feen endeavoring to reach an agree-
'ment with the property owner, to
t these w. lu. So far these
attempts have failed and the city
recorder was Instructed to again take
up the matter with the proper per
sons and endeavor to reach an agree
ment wheroby the walks can be built
at once.
It was also shown that the street
department has been forced to buy
lutitDor ior construction of cross
walks and other such Improvements
In small lots at local retail yards,
it was shown that by purchasing In
trurkload quantities direct from the
mills that a reduction of from 1 10
to $12 per thousand feet could be
secured and It was voted that the
street department should purchase a
large quantity of lumber of the sixes
needed in order that this laving
might be niado.
Stroet lights were discussed and
several matters In this regard re
ferred to the committee on electric
light to report at tho next meeting.

Firemen to Get
More Apparatus
A reuupst - for additional flnr
f'Khtiug apparatus was granted by

sioners reported thut the council
should purchaso a 10-foot scaling
ladder, a 40-foot extension ladder,
a life net, a Siamese coupling, a re
volvlng cellar- nozzle and another
fire axe. These articela were al!
deemed of importance and the ap
proximate cost wus said to be $350.

necessity for a life net at this Mint
and as it would cost in the neigh
borhood of $10. it was voted t(
eliminate this Item. Tho other ar
ticles were ordered purchased.

HulldiiiK Without Confusion
or Injury to Anyone.
Adrian Fisher was badly burned
In a fire which last night caused con
siderable damage at the Antler's
treater. Fisher, who waa operating
the machine, was responsible for tho
saving of tho building of consider
able damage as he stayed in the op
erating room and closed all open
ings and fought the flames until
nearly all persons had succeeded In
making their escape. - The fire start
ed near the close of the second per
formance and consequently the
rowd was not as largo aa if the
blaze had started previously. There
was no panic and no one besides
Kisber waa Injured.
Tho machlnos In the theater are so
placed that as soon as one stops the
olhor starts, keeping the picture con
tinuous. One reel was just ending
and the operator had stepped over
in the second machine when the end
of the closing reel whipped out of
the magazine and In some manner
kinked sufficiently to become ig
nited by the Intense heat from the
arc light. Fisher Immediately
1 l('rke tnB feel from the magazine
5 had almost extinguished the
blaze, when sparks dropped Into the
film box and Immediately set fire
to the seven reels of films there. Im
mediately the whole (room was a
mass of blaze. Ab the operating room
!s completely lined with metal In
side tho flames could only reach the
outside through the apertures pro--vlded
for picture projection. Each
of these holes U provided with a
metal cover aud with extreme pres
ence of mind and pluck Fisher re
mained in the room, In spite of the
tlfllng heat aud gas, and closed the
openings. As he made his escape
rom the room a long streamer of
flame 'followed him. proving tho
danger to which he had put himself
In an effort to save the building.
Clarence Hill, manager of the
theatre, was at the organ when the
.how was halted. He looked into
'he balcony and seeing the flames
inlckly sensed the danger. Several
persons In tho audience had also
".een (ho puff of flame and smoke
which occurred when the film Ig
nited and a rush for the door waa
itnrtcd. Mr. Hill called out for quiet
and urged the iieople to take their
time and Immediately the Imminent
panic was averted, all walking out
mi ick I y but without confusion. The
lower floor contained over a nun-
Ired people while ten or fifteen
were sented In the balcony. It look
only a short time to empty the bulld-
