STAND IS 0NLIVE ISSUE (Continued From First Page.) gramme announced by the party at its last convention. t(l Primarr Rule Urged. The platform would also bar a voter from participating in any primary other than that of the party to which he has declared his preference. The opening of Alaska and the de velopment of its resources by the National Government was favored. Planks called for the development of a modern system of rural credits and for restriction of immigration so as to exclude the Ignorant and anarchistic. The platform opposed the selection of delegates to any convention of the party by any method that does not Sive to the full membership of the party a voice in the selection. Democrats Are Condemned.. The Democratic National party was condemned for what was styled "its repeated violation of plighted faith with the people," "for the enactment of a sectional tariff, which has de pressed and prostrated business," and for "giving the people a tariff that has not reduced the cost of living, but which has reduced the wages of work lngmen, closed factories, crippled every line of industry and forced prosperity to give way to ever-increasing poverty and distress." The Democratic National Administra tion was also attacked for "violation of its platform, which declared for free tolls for American coastwise vessels through the Panama Canal." Republican Triumph Seen. The platform predicts a Republican triumph this Fall by calling attention to the big Republican gains in all re cent elections. Attention was called to the fact that all progressive legisla tion on the statute books has been put there by Republicans. Governor Lis ter was criticised for replacing effi cient men with incompetents and the sale of public school lands as prac ticable was favored. The Washington Republican repre sentation in the United States Senate and House was commended. Charles P. Lund, of Spokane, was permanent chairman of the convention; John H. Powell, of Seattle, temporary chairman: Sam It. Sumner, of We liatchee. secretary, and George J. Stew ait, of Okanogan County, assistant sec retary. James McXeeley, of Pierce County, was chairman of the platform committee. About 600 delegates were present, a large proportion having spilt votes. Every' County Represented. The credentials committee reported that every county had a full delega tion on hand. As many counties sent delegates with only half a vote, there were about 600 seated in the conven tion coming from the furthermost parts of the state. The full quota of one vote delegates was 470. Some delega tions traveled 36 'hours to be present at the party deliberations. One woman. Mrs. Hall, from Spokane County, came with a baby in her arms. About 25 women delegates were present The proceedings were watched closely by representatives of the Progressives, Including Lorenzo Dow, National com mitteman, and R. A. B. Young, county secretary of the party, and State Sen ator Walter S. Davis. The , tenor of the remarks of the speakers" were conciliatory. The ad dress of Temporary Chairman John H. Powell was declared "progressive" in every respect. Permanent Chairman Lund followed this with more advice of a progressive nature. Conciliatory Letters Read. The letters read from Washington's four Republican representatives in Congress were conciliatory to the "de parted brothers," and at no time dur ing the entire convention was a word of disparagement spoken against those who left the party in 1912. "Let this convention declare clearly and definitely for the needs of the hour," wrote Senator Wesley L. Jones. "Let ns sink all personal ambitions and keep in view only the good of the people, which means the party's good. Do this and those of one faith and one belief will sink minor differ ences and go forth to a great victory." Democratic Policies Scored. Senator Jones scored the Democratic policies. He declared: "Vacillation, stupidity and chaos mark our foreign policy." "VV.ould-be leaders may say we will not get together," he continued. "They speak only for themselves. They may try to boss the people while denouncing 'bossism,' but they will fail. The people are not going to be bossed and delivered like so many sheep and cattle under any party tanner what ever. They will act for themselves and for their best interests. They pre fer the triumph of principles to the personal success of ambitions of any individual, and they propose now to move, act and vote together that prin ciples may triumph and stability. Gov ernment and prosperity may bless the land." Letters were also read from Repre sentatives Johnson and Humphrey.

SEVERAL TOASTS ARE MADE MAN AT HELM ACCUSES QUARTERMASTER SATS ItLPATED VESSEL STEERED BADLY. Officers of Liner Deny Statement. Charges of Cowardice Against ' Some of Crews Unfounded." QUEBEC, June 18.

Today they made their report The report says that the picture instead of teaching purity has the opposite effect and teaches evils it purports to make odious. "However. says the report we recognize that much of the opposition to the picture has been used to adver tise it We do not see how the sub ject of the picture could have been han dled more delicately or in a more mod est way. But It teaches the evil it seeks to condemn, we believe rurtner that the picture is a slap at Protes tantism. The suggestions are immoral in the picture.

Applications, pow ders and tablets that drug the head ache Into quietude are treating the symptoms, not the disease, always a useless proceeding and often harmful. . When headache is associated with some dizziness it is usually the result of nervous exhaustion and will con tinue as long as the person who is overworked allows the debility to con tinue. It rapidly disappears when rest and the proper tonic is taken. Nervous exhaustion, the cause, of such headaches and dizziness, results from a strain on the nerves with which the re building work of the blood is unable to keep pace. The best tonic for such condition is Dr. Williams Pink Pills. These pills build up the blood and strengthen the nerves. With this treat ment unless the overwork worry, or whatever has caused the nervous break down, is persisted in, the headaches, dizziness, nervousness and irritability that characterize neurasthenia rapidly disappear. The Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., will send free on request a helpful little book on the home treatment of nervous disorders. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are obtainable at any drug store. Adv. held on a Federal white slave charge placed against bim by his wife, Stella Spear.
