TIIE MORNING OliEGONIAX, TVEDXESDAT, JULY 28, 1920 TASKS AHEAD ARE REPUBLICAN VICE-PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE WHO FORMALLY ACCEPTED NOMINATION YESTERDAY. IL E Kentucky Governor Tells of Nomination to Chosen. WILSON ERRORS ARE CITED Country Must Be Prevented From Becoming Involved In Feuds of Europe, Says Speaker. fare NORTHAMPTON. Mass.. July 27. "This nomination Is tendered you as the spontaneous wish of your party," said Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky, principal speaker at the ceremonies attending the notification here today of Governor Calvin Coolidge if his nomination as csnd' date of the republican party for vice president. "The west called to the east." Gov ernor Morrow said. "North and south heard the call and the nation made the answer." Governor Morrow attacked the democratic national administr 'on for what he termed its hesitation, blundering and stubbornness, and called the league of nations an at tempt to bind the United States to tl-- bloody feuds of Europe. "It is fitting," Mr. Morrow said, "that in Massachusetts at this foun tain of American inspiration, we sol emnly determine that the heritage which made us free, independent and prosperous, shall not be bartered for a mess of unknown pottage." Democrats Make Blunder. "You are called to serve your coun try in a time of your country's need." Governor Morrow continued. "At home, grave economic, industrial, so cial and governmental problems have too long in the past, and now con tinue to, press for and demand solu tion, and upon their proper solution depend the prosperity, security, com mercial and financial welfare of our people. "But. confronted at home with high duties and most terious re sponsibilities, the present national administration, entrusted with the great powers of government, has halted and hesitated and blundered, while it bent all of its stubborn energies upon the task of fastening upon our country all of the ills of the world. The president and all those who in the past have bowed to his will, and he whom he has covered with his mantle, committed to his policies, and whom he now seeks to place in his stead, have for more than a year and are now, seeking to strip us of our nationalism by clothtng the nation in the multi-colored garments of internationalism; to take from us our sovereignty and so, through a league of nations to bind us to the blood feuds of Europe, to make us the guarantors of shifting, vanishing boundary lines to the ends of earth and to involve us in the greed and strife and confusion of the old world." Confidence In Candidate. In such a time and with such issues confronting, the country. Governor Morrow asserted. Governor Coolidge is confidently called upon to serve with a leader "who has spoken clear ly, bravely and -convincingly." "His voice rings out now like a bugle through the land," he said. "We now await your message, convinced that it will be In full accord with the time-honored, time-proved policies of the republican party and that it .will proclaim for our party's principles of service to the nation and its people. "When you have spoken America will know that captain and mate have turned the old ship of state from her wanderings home to the needs of the hour home to keep all and to save all that the past gave, and which the future promises home to solve our problems here and to fulfill. s we always have done, our full share of world responsibility."

Total earn ings of the United States Steel cor poration for the second quarter of the current year as issued today thow a nominal gain over the previous quarter amounting to $43, 155, 705. an increase of J1.066.6S6. Net income of jol.6SS.:04 compares with J31.323.701 and surplus of 13. 776,1,33 shows a correspondingly small gain. The statement falls con siderably under most forecasts, but it is regarded as good in view of recent unsettled industrial and railroad con ditions. June earnings of $16,462,534 w;re better than those of May, which ex ceeded April's returns by more than $3 000.000. Today's statement leaves earnings applicable to the common stock for the quarter of J3.96 per share, against J3.S8 three months ago and J2.29 in the second quarter of 1919.

"man who has proved his fitness for any office." The official programme opened with a meeting of he notification commit tee at noon and a luncheon tendered the committee by Governor and Mrs. Coolidge. But long before that hour the c.-owda had begun a celebration of their own. Governor and Mrs. Coolidge this morning greeted newspapermen and motion picture operators, who lr duced the governor to mow the lawn and build a cart for his two sons to portray his life as a domestic man. Governor Coolidge's declaration In behalf of women suffrage was the signal for an enthusiastic demonstra tion. He said he had always voted for it but did not regard it as a party question. t His address was punctuated with applause. When he concluded he was accorded another ovation led by Sena, tor Lodge. The latter refused to re spond to demands of "speech" and then the crowd closed around Governor Coolidge to extend congratulations. HardlnR la Pralaed. "Your presence tells me," said .Gov ernor Coolidge in opening his address, "of a leader and a cause. A leader in Warren G.

"No one in public life can be ob livious to the organized efforts to undermine the faith of our people in their government, foment discord, ag gravate industrial strife, stifle pro duction and ultimately stir up revo lution. . . . The first duty of the government is to repress them, pun ishing wilful violations of law, turn ing the full light of publicity on all abuses of the rights of assembly and of free speech, and it is the first duty of the public and press to expose false doctrines and answer seditious. arguments. Such repression and such testimony should be forthcoming that the uninformed may come to a full realization that these seditious ef forts are not for their welfare, but for their complete and economic and political destruction. "The greatest need of "the nation at the present time is to be rescued from all the reactions of the war. The chief task that lies before us is to re possess the people of their govern ment and their property. Unless the government and property of the na tion are In the hands of the people and there to stay as their permanent abiding place, self-government ends and the hope of America goes down in ruins. "The mounting prices of all sorts of commodities have put a well-nigh un bearable burden on every home. Much of this is beyond relief from the law, but the forces of the government can and must afford a considerable rem edy. "The most obvious place to begin retrenchment Is by eliminating the extravagance of the government it self. The excess profits tax should be revised and recourse had to customs taxes on imports, for it taxes con sumption rather than production. "A revision of taxation must be ac companied with a reduction of that private extravagance which the re turns from luxury taxes reveal as surpassing all comprehension. "There has been profiteering. It should be punished because it is wrong. But it is idle to look to such action for relief. "As everyone knows now, the dif ficulty is caused by a scarcity of material, an abundance of money and insufficient production. The govern ment must reduce the amount of money as fast as it can without cur tailing necessary credits. . Produc tion must be increased. "One of the chief hindrances to production is lack of adequate rail road facilities. Transportation must be re-established. "There must be a different public attitude toward industry, a larger comprehension for the inter-dependence of capital, management and labor, and better facilities for the prompt and reasonable adjustment of industrial disputes. "But all these difficulties depend for final solution on the character and moral force of the nation. Un less these forces abound and manifest themselves in work done, there is no real remedy. "Whenever in the future this na tion undertakes to assess its strength and resources, the largest item will be the roll of those who served her in every patriotic capacity in the world war. "Equal suffrage, for which I have always voted, is coming. The party stands pledged to use its endeavors to l.asten - ratification which 1 trust will be at once accomplished. "The destiny, the greatness of America, lies around the hearthstone. If thrift and industry are taught there and the example of self-sacrifice oft appears; if honor abid there and high ideals; if there the building of for tune be subordinate to the building of character, America will live in se curity, rejoicing in an abundant pros perity and good government at home and in peace, respect and confidence abroad."
