Protect Farmers in Home Market Is Supported Kansas City, June 14—(—Ig- noring any mention of the contro- verted equalization fee of the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill, but pledging every assistance in the reorganiza- tion of the farmer’s marketing ma- chinery, the platform upon which the Republican candidate for presi- dent will stand in the November elections was presented to the con- vention today for its approval. The farm plank, after long and tedious labor in the resolutions committee, declares a big problem faces the farmer, but instead of the equal- ization fee which prompted Presi- dent Coolidge twice to veto the Mc- it proposes. the ion creating a clothed with power to set up farmer-owned and controlled stabilization corporations or associations to prevent and con- trol surpluses through orderly dis- tribution. BM onpraatateetd Endorsed platform contains a sweeping | pa: sadoronandat of the administration and congress and pledges to main- tain and ite the policies of President Coolidge. The much-discussed topic of pro- hibition, whieh, like the farm ques- tion, proved a problem in the resolu- tions committee discussions, is dis- posed of in a law enforcement plank pledging the party its nominees to the “observance and vigorous en- forcement” of the eighteenth amendment. “The politi be tia is na- tional in scope,” farm plank de- clares, “and, as ie is recognized the Republican party which 8 its strength and energy to the solution of the same. “Realizing that many farmers are facing problems. more difficult than those which are the portion of many other basic industries, the party, is anxious to aid in every way pos- sible.” The plank promises “every as- sistance in the reorganization of the marketing system on sounder and more economical lines and, where , govern- istance during the period: of transition.” Tariff Need Recognized The farm question also-is touched upon in the tariff plank, which lares “protective tariff i an agriculture is to American manufacturing. “The Republican party,” it con- tinues, “pelleves that the home mar- ket, built up under the protective licy, belongs to the American and it pledges its support legislation which will give this market to him to the full extent of his ability to Siebel it.” President Cooli Secretary maton are sin, eee out for individ- ise by the platform makers. ut le endorse ‘without lifica- tions the record of the Coolidge ad- ministration,” the platform reads.

SUFFRAGETTE LEADER DIES AT AGE OF 69 Emmeline Pankhurst, First Militant, Led Votes-for- Women Fight London, June 1! , 14.) —One of the most picturesque figures in the woman suffrage movement, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhuzst, died _ this morning in a London nursing home at the age of 69. Death came after @ comparatively short illness. Mrs. Pankhurst was the first militant suffragist in efforts to ob- tain the vote for women, millions of whom are now enjoying the privilege of casting their ballots at the parli- sonentas election as a result of the work of her and her supporters. This \ Jearly work was often done at great personal risk. After founding the Women’s So- cial and Political Union with her daughter Christabel, Mrs. Pank- hurst started the ‘votes for women agitation by heading a deputation the House of Commons to deman, the vote. Many members of this body were jailed. Afterwards the Women’s Freedom 1 came into being and its ad- herknts ted militant methods. Holloway was frequently used | casual! the authorities to attempt to the activities of the women. Mrs, Pankhurst was often in and out as that institution and her last of- fense brought a sentence of penal he ‘started a hunger strike, paige and waas released before sentence was completed.

At the town of Pyatt, near the northwest border, fifty dwellings were destroyed Tuesday by high winds. Although more than 100 residents were left homeless, none were believed seriously hurt. The town of Calico Rock in the central part of the state was under from 2 to 10 feet of water while 600 families were preparing to evacuate near Newport for fear of a sudden rise in the White river. Many bridges had been washed away and crop damage was report- ed heavy.

M. OPPEGARD Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo., June 14.—(?)—Northwest dele- gates went into today’s session of the Republican convention deter- mined to make a strong fight for the platform plank — introducing principles of the twice-vetoed Mc- Nary-Haugen bill. Spokesmen for the Minnesota, North and South Dakota delegations emphasized as the session opened that they would give most of the 53 votes from those states for a whole- hearted indorsement of the equali- zation fee principle. Within the three delegations it was conceded there likely would be approval for the bulk of the major- ity report of the resolutions com- mittee, Well defined reports today that a number of agricultural states might refuse to participate further in the deliberations of the convention in vent of adoption of the majority farm relief plank met with varied comment from northwest delegates. Plans Not Complete Walter Maddock, chairman of the North Dakota delegation, said plans were not completed, but it was pos- sible his delegation or a majority of it would join in such a protest. Minnesota and South Dakota del- egations will join with North Da- kota and other states in opposing the majority farm relief plank but will continue to participate in the work of the convention. Reports had it that Senator La Follette of Wisconsin would lead the strong protest against the farm lank with a statement that the ma- jority of his delegation could not farther participate in the discus- sions with that plank in the plat- form. There is no intention to bolt the} | convention, it was emphasized, but if the discussed plan goes through it would mean that the strong pro- testants would simply continue to sit in the convention but not ballot either on the platform or for the candidates. Lieutenant Governor Maddock said the North Dakota delegation was not fully decided on its course but would await developments of the session before making a final decision. Minnesota Stands Pat Members of the Minnesota dele- gation and Chairman S. X. Way of the South Dakota group said they had no intention of bolting the con- vention or refusing to participate in the discussions and balloting. Reports gained currency smong farm state delegations while the resolutions committee report was being read, that a number of the states would oppose the farm plank with a decision not to participate further in the convention. Chairman Maddock of the North Dakota delegation said he under- stood the leadership in this regard would come from Senator La Fol- lette of the Wisconsin delegation. POLISH WOMAN DEAD AT 108 Tole#o, O., June 14.—()—Mrs. Frances Jazwiecki, 103, believed to be Toledo’s only centenarian, died yesterday. Coming to Toledo di- rectly from Poland in 1903, she took pride in the fact that she had never worn glasses and still was able to sew and read without their aid. She is survived by six children, indehildren and 24 great- children. _ PAIR MAKE UP DURING DANCE Chicago, June 1. 14.— (AP)—A marathon dance apparently is place not only to become engaged but to reconcile matrimonial differences. Frank and May Brown, of Sioux City, Nebr., the only married couple in the long distance dance which started here June 3, were estranged when they entered the contest, but when they dropped out today after 244 hours of dancing, announced they had made up and that there would be no divorce. Col. Robert John, of Richmond, Va., and Miss Erina Bergandi of Chicago won the contest and $3,500 first money after 259 hours and 59 minutes on the floor when Marcella Siatows paired with Walter Gra! & cross-country bunioneer, to sleep while dancing.

BORAH’S DRY PLANK GIVEN ENDORSEMENT Resolutions Committee Sends Farm Equality Fight to Convention Floor BY JAMES L. WEST Kansas City, June 14.—(?)—The position the Republican party must take on farm relief today was squarely up to the national conven- tion for determination. Unable to compose differences which for nearly 36 hours held the resolutions committee in almost con- tinuous session, the two opposing groups decided late last night that this question which has been one of the most controversial confronting the Coolidge administration must be settled by the convention itself. By a vote of 35 to 15, the com- mittee approved a tentative draft of a farm plank, which omits all ref- erence to the equalization fee pro- visions of the twice vetoed McNary- Haugen sans bill, and ordered this embodied in a party platform for submission on the convention floor. Immediately after this vote farm leaders announced they hed prepared good!— minority report containing a farm -relief plank endorsing equalization fee in principle for pre. sentation simultaneously with that appromd by the majority of the committee.

Some of the candidates fa- vored withdrawing their nominating speeches and retir- ing from the race, but today the candidates, Watson, Goff, Curtis and Lowden, agreed to go for- ward with their original pro- gram. BY BYRON PRICE Convention Hall, Kansas Cit;, Mo., June 14.—(#)—Advancing with swinging stride toward the nomin- ation of a ticket and final adjourn- ment by noon tomorrow, the Hoov- er majority in the Republican Na- tional convention today rallied in overwhelming numbers to repel of final spectacular attack by western insurgents and members of the Me- Nary-Haugen block on an adminis- tration party platform omitting mention of the equalization fee. In a floor fight of real propor- tions, the dissenters made repeated sallies at the steadfast ranks of the Coolidge-Hoover. forces, with the farm relief plank as their central objective. Linked as it was with the protest of the allied candidates against Hoover himself as a party candidate, the farm plank warfare completely overshadowed a lesser dispute over the prohibition plank. Young La Follette of Wisconsin, following in the footsteps of a fath- er whose insurgency spread its rec- ord during his lifetime on the his- tory of a whole string of Republican conventions, took the lead in ‘the assault on the tentative platform draft submitted by Smoot of Utah, chairman of the platform commit- tee. Offering a complete platform of his own, in which farm relief took the place of greatest promin- ence, the Wisconsin senator was smothered under a chorus of “noes” after the convention had paid him the personal tribute of a rousing ovation at the end of his speech. He did not ask for a roll call. La Follette Fighting Speech The second and major attack was launched under the leadership of Earl C. Smith of the Lowden- pledged Illinois delcgation, who spoke for a minority plank support- ed by fifteen membe. of the plat- form committee, and approving the twice-vetoed equalization fee for ag- riculture. It was t! proposal which precipitated a division of the convention all along the line, be- tween the Hoover and Coolidge dele- gates supporting the presidential veto, and the dele.,ates of the allied forces standing out against the Hoover ma;-rity. The fighting Speec h of La Follette was one of the most colorful of the convention. In a manner of deliv- ery reminiscent oi his father, “Bob” the elder, the young senator kept the attention of every delegate as he pleaded for the policies of the in- surgent Wisconsin Republicans. At one point, when he mentioned Pres- ident Coolidze’s veto of the McNary- Haugen bill, the speaker was greeted with ironic applause fror: the ad- ministration deleg:.. -. led by the Massachusetts delegation in the front row just before the speaker's stand. “It is so unusual for a delegate from Wisconsin to receive app:ause in a Republican convention,” Re re- plied, smiling down on Massachu- setts, “that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” No reply was made to the La Follette speech, the convention voting overwhelminly and in: ter to reject out of kand his minor- its report. With the Hoover majority in full control and growing hourly, the del- egates appeared convinced that about all that remained to be de- cided was the size of the vote by which the convention was to adopt a declaration of principles in full harmony with the policy of the Re- publican administration and then Fominste President Coolidge’s sec- retary of commerce to head the ticket. The vice preside: por: ever, still was in doubt, a: er’s running mate probably will nol pe Sees i until LOOT, ven the prospect of real action, after a day and two nights of wait- ing for the platform committee tc iron out its troubles, did not lure the delegates into the convention (Continued on Page Two) “date in.
