MORE RAIN YESTERDAY THAN WE HAD DURING ENTIRE MONTH OF MAY Copious quantities of welcome rain drenched the wheat fields and summer ranges of Umatilla county yesterduy and last night, bringing a smile to farmers und stockmen that bespoke complete bjU Infliction.

Sunday night produced a light shower of , "f. inches and shortly after noon the warm, hard rain began failing, ai Adams, Helix, Athena and Weston the rain came down almost in torrent! for a time insuring its going deep into the ground. The lighter lands went of Pendleton aleo aot a feood share of the moisture. June luKt year produced lens rain than yesterday's shoivers alone. With but ,C(i inches in June, 1119, the county produced a crop of about 4.600.00a bushels. Yesterday's rain strengthened the belief-of some wheat men that 1920 will exceed the 1919 yield.

SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE WHO DELIVERED KEYNOTE SPEECH TODAY Mr mm LODGE L ODGE GETS HAND WHEN HE ASKS FOR DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT HURRAHING MOOD IS ABSENT (By United Press.) (Hugh Baillie, 8taff Correspondent) COLISEUM, CHICAGO. June 8. The 1920 national republican conven tion is on. Will Hays, chairman, call ed the delegates to order at 11:34 and the work of selecting the G. O. P. standard bearer began. At the open ing of the great conclave it was gen erally admitted the fight was still a "free-for-all," that no candidate had succeeded In capturing a command ing lead. Before the crowd could re gain Its seats after Bishop Wood cocks prayer, the band broke into the "Star Spangled Banner." Thousands of Americans joined in the singing. A cheer leader, mounting the platform, led the crowd in three immense cheer "for the greatest country on earth America." Following the reading of the convention call, Hays presented the name of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as temporary chairman. He was elected by acclamation amid great heering. 1 jodge talked several min ites before he received his first re sponse from the crowd. He read slowly from manuscript. There was 1 -x brief cheer when Lodge stud; "we i CONVEIsiTION Delegates and spectators, before entering the Coliseum, were forced to run the gauntlet of stern-faced wom en. The miff iase pickets stood in a long, silent line with the words: "You are to blame for the defeat of suf frage" anil "llemembcr we have 17. 000,000 votes." Herbert Hoover pickets also faced the throngs. Those women silently displayed signs calling for voles for Hoover. Hundreds of delr gales had difficulty in finding scats. The -aisles were jammed and t he ushers swamped. Chauncey M. Depew. seated among the New York delegates before the convention opened, held an iii'promp tn reception. A cornet soloist, stand ing in the front balcony, got the first real applause of t he da when he shrilled a selection that pierced the ear drums of everybody in the ast build ing. t Chairman Hays received a big cheer ! when he curne forward to make his speech. The New York delegation i leaped to its feet and gave the Indi an an three cheers. His speech was f requently interrupted by applause nnd cheers. laOdge had great difficulty In get ting to the platform, owing to the fail ure of the attendants to ruise properly the floor of the rostrum which cover- i cd the concealed stairway from the convention floor. The senator finutlv jgaxe it up and was conducted to the rear of the platform to muke his ap J pea ranee through another entrain ml 'The convention cheered as bt4ftfi rmiLst not, we shall not fail now.'- The j first roar came when he declared the J democrats must be driven from power. ; The cheering continued several min j utes. Another outburst came when Lodge called President Wilaon un-Am- ' erican. Lodge continued his excoria tion, his thrusts drawing laughs and , frequent applaufe. "The chief magis I irate must understand it Is his duty to ; abide by the nation's laws," said the i senator. The delegates, evidently tak ! ing it as thrust at Wilson, broke into j applause. ' The democratic free trad er of socialistic tendencies," the next I description of Wilson given -by Lodge ) brought a big laugh. The crowd was ! obviously not much in the hurrahing ! mood. They wanned to hear, for the most part their attention being riveted on the speaker, aa he slowly and methodically, without excitement or dramatic effort delivered smash after smash at Wilson and his regime, and told what the republicans would do about the domestic questions if In power. His appeal for a stronger hand in Mexico brought a short sharp cheer, one of the m m enthusiastic of his speech. SIDEUCHTS walked to the front of the platform. Hays introduced him as the "Honor able Henry Cabot Lodge of the Unit ed Stutes." The committee on resolutions in- i eluded Wallace McCaniant of Oregon. j Lodge concluded his address at 1:1$ and the convention then appointed i committees OB rules, permanent or ganization, resolutions and creden tials and adjourned at 1:38 until 11 j o'clock tomorrow. The " committees (went to work immediately after lunch. There were no notable demonstra tions. The high lights of the first i .session were the greeting extended ; Hays, and the quick response the del , egates gave the Lodge denunciation of 'the democratic administration. Its IfedrAcan policy and the league of na tions. It took Senator Lodge exactly one l hour and IS minutes to read his pre , paSfc-d address.' The convention ap parently liked the keynote and broke into another road of cheers and ap plause, many delegates standing and waving Hat;. The convention, by u chorus of ayes, accept ed the list of temporal officers presented by Hayn and psad by Secretary Miller. Reso - lotions for the organization of com mittees were quickly adopted.

S. in Mexico; Defends Refusal to Accept Mandate for Armenian Republic. "WE MAKE THEISSUE" CLAIMS TREATY FOE Democratic Party Charged With Perilous Conditions; Hope Declared in Return of Republican Party to Power. (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, June 8- The country must drive President Wilson and his "dynasty" from power and defeat the league of nations as he desires it, de clared Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, temporary chairman of the republi can national convention. In his key note address here today. defending the senate's opposition to the treaty of peace as a high and patriotic duty, the senator flung down this gauntlet: "We make the issue; we ask appro bation for what we have done. Th people will now tell us what they think of Mr. Wilson's league and the sacrifice of America." While emphasizing the point that around the league must be waged the 1920 presidential cam paign and devoting much of his speech to ar raignment of the Wilson administra tion, the senator found time to, lay before the delegates the stand at th republican party on other salient problems facing the nation. For Activity in Mexico. Chief among these was Mexico. De claring it was time for the United States to take a firm hand in things Mexican and end the "disgraceful record" of the last seven years Sena tor Lodge urged that this country let the Mexicans choose as their presi dent some strong; and upright man who is friendly to the United States and determined to establish order and then lend him a real and cordial sup port "Mexico lies at our doors, he de clared. It is a primary duty for us to deal with under the Monroe doctrine, but nothing has been done and yet we are asked to take a mandate for. Ar menia." Salient points made by Senator Lodge were: "Mr. Wilson and his dynasty, his heirs and assigns, or anybody that la his; anybody who with bent knee has served his purpose must be driven from all control, from all influence upon the government of the United States. "They must be driven from office and power, not because they are dem ocrats, but because Mr. Wilson stands for a theory of administration and government which is not American. The return of the democrats to power with Mr- Wilson or one of his dscples still the leader and master of a great party, which before his ad vent possessed both traditions and principles-would be a long step in the tirection of the autocracy for which Mr. Wilson yearns and a heavy blow to the continuance of the free repre sentative government as w have al ways conceived and venerated it. Scores Wilson Followers, "Mr. Wilson and the autocracy ha represents, and all which those who believe in his doctrines and share his spirit represent, must he put aside and conclusively excluded from any future control "The defeat of the present admin istration and all it means, transcends in importance every other Question and all Immediate and dominant Is sues are bound up with It.
