This is a convention called for the purpose of nominating candidates for the state legislature. It is in legislation, legisla-tion, probably more than in any other branch of the government, that the Republican party has made its splendid splen-did record of achievement.' There never was a time since the civil war In which there is a greater need for Republican success than the present. Two years ago the country was ' filled with would-be prophets who had discovered that the Republican party had become suddenly useless, worthless, that it had decomposed. They decided that to them had come a great tasli. a yreat duty to restore the country from the devastation that had come from the Republican party to lift from the burdens of the poor the tremendous burdens the Republicans Repub-licans had imposed oh them. Hut the times have changed: the reaction re-action has set in. The would-be prophets are dwindling and their nnnibers are growing smaller each day. In 1!'12 in Missouri the Progressive Pro-gressive party cast 124.000 votes. In a recent primary there were 5600 Progressive votes cast. In Kentucky in 1912 the Progressives polled 102.000 votes. In a primary election in Kentucky Ken-tucky In 1914 the Progressives cast 'SCO votes. In Maine in 1912 the Progressive vote was 45.O0O ; in 1914 it was IS, 000 voles. In Idaho in 1912 the Progressives cast 26.000 votes: In the Idaho primary not long ago 500 Progressive votes were cast. Troubles of Teddy. The results are showing that the Progressive movement was merely aiding and following the maddening, thirsty ambition of one men. After Ihe election that leader left America and plunged into the Jungles of South Africa to shoot the beasts of the Jungles Jun-gles and to discover a lost river On his return he found it more dlffioil t to discover his lost party than his lost river. .

Why, the Republicans built the Panama canal, which cost as much as an ordinary ordi-nary war, without the additional levy of one cent of taxation. The Democrats are now hoping against hope that the attention of the people of the country may be diverted to the war in Europe while they retain re-tain control of the government. They are already conceding that the next congress will be Republican. Locally the situation of the Democrats Demo-crats is even more desperate. It was found here that both flanks of the allied al-lied enemy were so- defeated that a combination was necessary. So the Democrats and Progressives have combined for the sole rjurpose, as they have admitted, of dividing between them the spoils of office. But neither in the state nor the nation is there a possibility of Demo-cra Demo-cra tic or Progressive success. A reunited re-united Republican party, with Its rec- ' ord of half a century of achievement' behind it, will overwhelm the enemy. Kven "Uncle" Joe Cannon, against whom they have hurled all 06 their anathemas, is coming back. Recent developments at home and abroad furnish the keynote for this convention. We are witnesses today to the awful penalty a country in Europe Eu-rope is paying for its violation of a solemn treaty. The Democratic party two years ao, In a solemn treaty with the people, pledged itself "to keep in force the provision for freedom of tolls for the American coastwise vessels ves-sels passing through the Panama canal. When it got into power it summarily sum-marily repudiated its solemn word. Let this convention show the people that Republican platforms are mado to be kept. T,et us adopt a platform here today tiiat Republicans can stand upon, that will be written into ths statutes of the state by the Republican Repub-lican legislature.

Mrs. Marie Bowman of district 110 he said, bad just discovered that she .... ..u- f that dlqtr et for Carlson instead of for Cole, as she had intended. The speaker called attention to the fact that Carlson's majority of four would have been wiped out and Cole would ' have been the nominee, but for this error. Harry Joseph was on his feet protesting, but the chairman ruled him out of order. Proceeding, Mr. Milne said that the time had come to right this error and he suggested sug-gested that a proper way of doing th s would be to suspend the rules and nominate nomi-nate Mr. Cole for the lower house by acclamation. ac-clamation.
