No bitterness developed in the fight for convention honors, harmony pre- vailing at all times. Indorsement of a platform occupied the closing hours of the convention, the Republicans condemning the gross ex- travagance of the admimistration, com- mending Republican success in cutting down national appropriations in the in- terest of’ economy, advocating a volun- tary strike tribunal for the settlement of labor disputes, soldier relief legisla- tion, hard surfaced highways, increased reclamation work and more liberality in land grants, urged the passage of the “Truth in Fabric” bill, tariff legisla- tion and ratification of woman suffrage and upheld Republican efforts to Ameri- canize the peace treaty by the adoption of reservations to the League of Na- tions. Following is the platform adopted at, Sheridan as incorporated in resolutions endorsed by acclamation in the Repub- lean convention: “Whereas, under the laws for the State of. Wyoming a convention is held once in four years for the pur- pose of selecting delegates to a na- tional convention and nominating presidential electors, and in obe- dience to an established custom, we the Republicans of Wyoming assem- bled in the city of Sheridan, May 10 and 11, 1920, propose and adopt the following resolutions: “We heartily endorse the splendid, loyal and industrious rvices and achievements of United States Sena- tor Francis E. Warren’ and Repre- sentative Frank W. Mondell in be- half of the welfare of the nation's estate. We earnestly approve the present able, prudent and economic state administration and _. especially commend the well directed efforts of Gov. Robt. D. Carey in behalf of the state industries and the welfare of the advancement of Wyoming citi- | zens. “Recognizing that the school teach- the convention which adjourned ers of Wyoming are the guardians for many years of our young citizen- ship and are entitled to compensation commensurate with the services ren- dered, and to meet the requirement: of living conditions, we therefore recommend that the legislature en- act such laws as are necessary to furnish relief and we favor increases that will give the children of rural schools the same opportunities as the children of the towns and cities en- Joy. , “Realizing that Industrial strife is wasteful to the public as well as tu both labor and capital we favor legisation looking tuward a closer ‘e- lationship between employer and em- ployee and to this end we recommen¢t the creation of a tribunal to which industrial disputes may be voluntar- ily submitted. “As Wyoming was the first ‘state to adopt woman suffrage, we re- affirm our belief in the wisdom of such a law; approve the Susan B. Anthony amendment; commend the states which have ratified the same; and urge the remaining states to take early and favorable-action to the end that the women of the nation may be enfranchised in time for the 1920 national election. “Looking toward the development of our agricultural and natural re sources and. to making our state more accessible to traffic, we recom- mend that national and state road funds that may be developed or ap- propriated be spent in the construc- tion of hard surfaced highways, per- manent bridges and proper drainage as rapidly as is possible and practi- cable under conditions existing in Wyoming. “Recognizing the unexampled hero- ism and great sacrifices of our boys in the World war, we approve the cf- forts of Congress to apprppriately honor and compensate them by find- ing Ways and means of establishing them in their own homes or in some business or in some other suitable manner and in giving especial atten- tion to the needs of disabled and in- | capacitated soldiers. “Convinced that the future of Wyoming depends largely upon the development of the agricultural re- sources and reclamation of arid lands, we favor such legislation as will as- sist the farmers and settlers in such developments. “We favor the granting of more of the unappropriated public lands the state and oppose the further + (Continued on Page Three) tu | vid Knighten, 60 cattle; George Snod- Frank H.

A few Admiral Hypnotized confidential cablegram from Presi- dent Wilson to Rear Admiral Sims in London, sent during the war, MESSAGE SENT DURING WAR IS READIN PROBE by the British, Daniels Says (By ited Press.) WASHINGTON, May ) 12.—A was read before the senate naval’ investigating committee today by| Secretary of the Navy Daniels. It ex- pressed surprise that the British ad- miralty had fafled to “use Great Bri- tain's great naval superiority” effect-| ively against the submarines and called | on Sims for comments and suggestions | based on “independent thought and without regard to judgment of anyone on that side of the water,” The admiralty was “helpless to the point of panic” in the face of the sub- marine situation, the message said. “Every plan we suggest the reject) for some reason or prudence,” Wilson added. “In my view this is not a time for prudence, but for boldness, even at the cost of great losses,”" In conclusion, «the president asked Sims to advise him as he would give advice‘as “if you were running a navy of your*own.”" Sims’ reply, said Daniels, who pre- sented the president’s message in con- nection with his answer ,to Sims’ charges against the navy’s conduct of the war, “was a long telegram of gen- eralities of what the British admiralty was doing.” SIMS HPPNOTIZED BY BRITISH, CHARGE. (By United Press.) Daniels said Sim's reply was a “long telegram of generalities showing tha Sims was hypnotized by British in- fluences dnd lured by promises which a schoolboy would know were not bind- ing.” Sims’ pro-British attitude led Con- gressman Carlin from Virginia to re- Kk, after visiting” Sims in’ London, that he should be on the British pay- roll and not America's. LC. C. MOVES TO HELP SHORTAGE OF CARS, ASSIST TRAFFIC PLANS Orders for 10,000 Cars Turned Down Daily in Country by the Railroads (By United Press.) WASHINGTON, May 12.__The interstate commerce commission is planning to relieve the car short- age which is causing a critical sit- uation in many cities. An embargo on nonessentials is under consid- eration. The rajlroads within ten days will assemble cars in the Southwest, where the grain movement will open next month. ‘Twenty-five thousand cars are needed there. The extent of the national car short- age is indicated by the fact that the railroads are turning down actual or4| ders for 80,000 cars per day. The outlaw switchmen's strikes in many leading cities are still partly to blame for the shortage. Chicago is losing $2,000,0000 daily and industries there are running 75 per cent of normal. The strike of coastwise longshoremen and switchmen is causing thousands of loaded cars to stand idle around New York.
