-The Republican national

11:34 a. m. Tuesday by Cnalnnan
Hays of the national committee.
Chairman Hays brought down the
gnvcl ltb a whack, and the conven-
lion cam quickly to order. Bishop
Charle E. Woodcock of Louisville,
Ky., efftred the opening prayer and
at Its conclusion .the audience brcke
into "Tho Siar Spangled Banner," at
the rcquret of a song leader.
The swelling chorus filled the great
ball end a sea of American flag
waved throughout the singing. "Now,"
shouted the leader, "three cheers f.r

mlttee to escort him to the chair.
chauncey -M. Depew of New To:k.
Myron T. Herrtck of Ohio, and Mrs.
j. r Hume of California were ajv
pointed. "
The country must drive President
Wilscn and bi "dynasty" from power
,n(j defeat the league of nations as he
deBlreg iu declared Senstor Henry
Cabot Lodge, temporary chairman of
the Republican national convention. In
bis keynote address.
Senate Treaty Stand Defended.
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 ap
probation for what we have done. The
people will now tell us what they
think of Mr. Wilson's league and the
sacrifice of America."
While emphasising the point that
around the league must be waged the
1930 presidential campaign and de
voting much of his speech to arraign
ment of the Wilson administration,
the' senator found time to lay before
the delegates the stand of the Repub
lican party on other salient problems
feeing the nation. -
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 rec
ord" of the last seven years, Senator
Lodge urged that this country let the
Mexicans chocse as their president

A Transportation Problem.
(Athena Press.)
Prior to the advent of the railway
. . .
and the automobile, the problem of
transportation was easy lor Link
Swaggarf, for in those days he relied
entirely upon cayuse locomotion. Now
it-8 different. He started off the
week, by getting marooned, in town
during the rainstorm, and Wednesday
he let a stock train pick up a carload
nf hno.a and whiak them awav wh ile
he lounged around in a restaurant
il "Z- . 4 .
waiting for a hamburger sandwich.
Marion Hansell charged him more
than the hogs were worth to jitney
him to W.Ua Wall, ahead of the train
so as to enable Swaggart to deliver
the stock to the buyer.
