WEATHER FORECASTS For Bismarck and Vicni ly overcats tonight and ESTABLISHED 1873 G. 0. P. CONVENTION IN N THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [mam BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1924 WILL URGE WORLD COURT PLATFORM PLANK _ COMMITTEE OF (.0.P, REACHES VIEW ON POINT Broad Declaration For Tax Reduction Also Urged By Platform Committee CONSULT COOLIDGE Secretary Slemp Acting as Intermediary in Plat- form Exchange Cleveland, draft of the Republican 10,—A_ tentative 1924 platform of the ty had been com- pleted today after a group of mem- bers of the resolutions committee | had obtained the views of President Coolidge by telephone on certain planks. Chairman Charles B. Warren of the committee, which could not be organized until the opening s today of the convention, this draft would form the Baie up- on which the committee would hold five-hours hearing today. The platform will be ready for action by the committee Wednes- day afternoon. After hours of conference the platform builders made some chan- ges last night in the suggested planks brought here by Secretary Slemp with President Coolidge’s sanction. The foreign relations pro. visions were materially realized and it was understood that it was upon this subject particularly that the executive whs consulted by Jong distance telephone. Having ordered Mr. Coolidge’s views on the changes, Chairman Warren and his co-workers resumed their conference and it was after midnight before their task was done. Tax Reduction Asked At the conclusion of the hearings today, the resolutions committee composed of one member from each of the states and territories, will begin whipping the platform into final shape. Sirfce the tentative draft covers practically all the ques- tions to be discussed at the hear- ings, no material alterations of the planks already worked out were forecast. With reference to tax reduction, the platform, it was stated author- itatively, will make no specific ref- erence to the Mellon plan but will contain a broad leelarerion for tax revision and reform. For World Court The World Court plank was des- cribed as a straight-cut justice, with specifications as to the form of ad- herence. The soldiers bonus has been treated by the platform build- ers as an accomplished fact and the only declaration, if any, will be for execution of the law placed on the statute books over President Cool- idge’s veto. There will be a provision, however, as to the treatment of sick and dis- abled veterans of the World War. For Punishment Another of the suggested planks, which was re-written, was that deal- ing with wrong-doing in public of- fice. As now drawn this provision makes no mention of individuals but declares for punishment where guilt is clearly established. The national defense plank would declare for the military training of all citizens who wish to be trained and deals specifically with the civil- jan military training camps and the officers’ reserve corps. For the Navy it would declare for the building up and mainten- ance of a sea force to the full strength permitted the United States under the Washington treaty, —__--—_______—__~¢ | Weather Report | ——_-_______—__+ June © For twenty-four hours ending st noon.

PARK HIGHWAY a PLACED HERE ed on the jon as a rreiioehty ‘eittoes Offices of Nation-} al Parks Highway Are Opened in Bismarck TRACY OPTIMISTIC Sees Tourist Influx Much Greater Than Last Year Over the Trail Important changes in the organiza- tion of the National Parks Highway (Red Trail) will result in an increase of tourists traffic astimated at 50 to 60 per cent more than Jast year, ac- cording to A. W. Tracy, general man- ager of the association hére today. Mr. Tracy came to Bismarck aft trip of grganization into Ilino! Wisconsin, and Minnesota, Temporary headquarters of the Ni tional Parks Highway were establish- ed in Bismarck today, Mr. Tracy tal ing offices in the Association of Com- merce rooms here. Bismarck was chosen as the headquarters for an intensive campaign to be conducted in the eastern half of the trail, which extends from Chicago to Seattle and Portland, and it was found ‘that this location would enable the organiza- tion to make a more rapid distribu- tion of material and to speed contact with various units. The headquart- ers of the trail are Spokane, Wash- ington. Many important steps in increas- ing the efficiency of the National Parks ‘Highway organization have been taken. In Chicago an office has been opened at 130 North Wells street, and a full publicity service installed, to work with the Illinois Automobile Association and other tourist organizations to promote travel over the Red Trail. One of the most efficient publicity organiza tions has been engaged, Mr, Tracy said, Organization was completed along the trail in Minois, and contact ar- ranged with Chicago Motor Club and other big tourist agencies. George S. Robbins, the publicity director, will broadcast road information from the Drake hotel this summer. Wisconsin Organized Wisconsin, which has been a weak spot in the organization, is now thoroughly organized. A new “bee line” trail between the Twin Cities and Chicago through Wisconsin has been mapped out, the trail being shortened 98 miles. The towns along the trail are 100 percent organized behind the National Parks Highway, My.. Tracy said, and the trail associa- tion has had the cooperation of the Wisconsin Highway Commission in its work. A splendid organization now is built up in Minneapolis, to compete with the Yellowstone Trail. C. R. Frazee of Pelican Rapids, has been named Minnesota member of. the executive committee, succeeding R. J, Brophy. Inquiries regarding the National Parks Highway are already double the number of last year, Mr. Tracy said. To take care of the demand for information, the trail association has ordered 60,000 road guides being 128- page books, for use of tourists, North Dakota and Bismarck! have always ‘stood’ Joyally behind the Trail Association, Mr. Tracy said. A. F, Bradley; secretary of the Bismarck Association of Commerce, is member of the national executive committee for North Dakota. After headquarters are opened here, Mr. Tracy will go to Dickinson, Glendive, and Billings on an organi- zation trfp, returning shortly. “Right now we are getting greater cooperation, have more harmony, and finer contacts in the association than ever before, “Mr. Tracy said: ‘As soon as the weather warms up there will be a heavy tourist travel start.” Secretary Bradley of the local as- sociation, said, that headquarters of the National Parks Highway would be a ‘distinct ‘asset. to Bismarck ‘People all through the Unite States would think of Bisnlarck as headquarters of this frail associa- tion, he said, referring to the im- (Continued on. page: 8) panese | d by passage of the| means to | This picture was made in advance of the convention opening from a 4% and description ofthe simple decor; SCHOOL FUNDS DISTRIBUTED | A total of $864,615.46 being | distributed to counties, and then to school districts in the state, from the quarterly apportionment of in- come from state school lands and fines and penalties.

Teraga, who said he was gradu- ated fom a medical college in Osakay and studied ‘at the John Hop- kins Medical College, denied that the formulas and diagrams were for construction of bombs. He explain- ed that since he was interested in explosives, he naturally engaged at times in making formulas. He was arrested as a result of an anonymous letter received by the police two weeks ago informing them that an unusual number of Japan- ese were visiting Dr, Terada’s apart- ment. Dr. Terada waived examina- tion when arraigned in a. magi trate’s court and was held for trial in special session. diagrams today on SMITHY IS DOOMED London, June‘10,—The inspiration for Longfellows’s familiar verses— the village smithy in Stt.

Rev. Kimmel’s Message Dr. Kimmel addressed the grad- uates upon the subject, “What is in Thine Hand.” He emphasized the fact that there are three big lessons which we must learn, that God is back of men who think, that God needs men to help him and that ord- inary gifts with God's help may ac. complish great things. “What is in thine hand, the power of speech which is given but to man alone,” This was the message that Dr. Kim- mel gave to the graduates, that they of all people had the greatest op- portunity to give this power of speech expression to the thousands who come to them to be healed. The nurse must have a living faith in the Father for after all hope has been given up for the dying patient it is the.nurse who must put the pa- tients hands in Gods, Following the exercises a reception wag held at the nurses’ home, where a large number vf people gathered to congratulate the graduates, Em- met Griffin sang two well selecied numbers. * The Graduates , Members of the graduating. class are: (Continuea on page 3) KIMMEL SPEAKs| Is} motto, | PRICE FIVE CENTS W HANDS COOLIDGE MEN ——~ REPLACE MANY FORMER HEADS Old Familiar Faces of Leaders Are Missing as Convention Gets Under Way PRESIDENT IS CHEERED Thousands in Convention Hall Applaude Burton’s Men- tion of Him Convention Hall, Cleveland, 0., June 10.—(By the Asso- cited Press.)—In a brief open- Ing session today, the Repub- lican national convention head the keynote speech delivered | by its temporary chairman, Rep. Theodore E. Burton, per- fected its temporary organiza- tion and adjourned until 10:30 oclock tomorrow morning. Meanwhile a committee i holding public hearings on the platform will be in session and contests among delegates will be thrashed out on appeal to the credentials committee. In a great hall of 13,000 seats, the convention got un- der way to the usual ‘accom- paniment of music, applause and cheering. Chairman Burton’s mention. of President Coolidge’s name vave the convention an oppor- tunity for prolonged cheers and applause which were re- peated when the chairman predicted party victory in No- vember. Boom Kenyon Overnight, the movement for Judge William S. Kenyon of Iowa for Vice- President showed new strength. The talk for Secretary. Hoover grew stronger. The movement for Charles G. Dawes certainly. lost no ground and the Lowden supporters renewed their stubborn resistance to the former Governor's reiterated deter= mination not to accept the nomina- tion if it were offered. Many new faces . appeared where the old familidr faces have been in the memorable years gone by, For the first time in years Chauncey M. Depew was not on hand to enjoy a reception that has always resem- bled a New Year's hand-shaking bee at the White House. For the first time since a Republican convention nominated Abraham Lincoln “Uncle Joe” Cannon was abset and the con- jvention missed his “The Ladies, God Bless Them.’” Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was {not in the little circle of convention managers, the inconspicuous “steer- ing committee” that has so much to say of what will be done.
