Senator. John sob also made a fron tal attack in the foreign policy ot the administration, reiterated his Chicagi speech insofar as it referred ti his unqualifiedly favoring a sol dier's bonus, cautioned the people ti loik carefully into; the MeHon taxa tion plan, although advocating a re duction in taxes in no uncertain terms, advocated help for the farm ■■MSa-hy the lowerig of freight rates aud co-operative societies and finish . ed with a scalping arraignment of ^Unw.'tvho would have the country [join world cou*. n« ir males men “I have recently observed that cer tain peopla, includingr the distinguish ed Detroit manufacturer, have de plored that we should have an elec tion this year,” said Senator Johnson, “and perhaps at all; and many poli ticians denounce me because I have interfered with theserenity of the oc casion and have Hot permitted their plans for a nomination by default to be consummated. I shall not con cede that collectors of revenue, Unit ed States marshals, postmasters and other omceholders may themselves alone nominate candidates for the presidency, i “The leaders on the other side have demonstrated by their recent actions their contempt for the menand wom en who in reality, constitute the Re publican painty. Our opponents do not believe in -direct primaries and direct legisiatio- 1 insist that the Republicanrnin^Otyo shall have an ^Ogual yifyhfc "dlderming. t)ie nom inee with the Repub licans in Sou£h Carolina. Obviously cur opporents do pot so believe. “Just as pollution at the source of the stream will pollute the whole stream, wrong and injustice in the selection of delegates to a national eonvtntion will pollute and taint the very convention itself.” Senator Johnson then reviewed the action of the 1920 Republican con vention in reducing the southern delegation and said it was “a step in the right direction” as it is a basis for further reductions. He then told of the recent action of the national committee in Washington “under the order of our opponents” in again giv ing them the original representation and termed it “scandalous and unfair representation.” “I speak of this outrageously un fair selection of the delegates be cause there is real service we can render” said the senator. Ohio and the South “Nine Southern States—Aiaoama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisi ana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas- and Virginia polled 489,000 votes for President Harding. These nine States have 184 delegates. Ohio polled 1,182,000 votes for President Harding and Ohio has fifty-one dele gates to the convention, “There is not the remotest pos sibility 0f » single Republican elector being chosen in any one of these nine Southern States, and yet the Re publican national committee recently deliberately increased the represents, tion, contemptuously rended the mandate of the national convention of 1920 and broke faith with the rank and file of the Republican party all over the land. These Southern delegates are selected by commands issued in the city of Washington to a very few federal officeholders in the different States. The action of the national committee is a reversion to the abhorrent conditions from which we thought we had emerged. It is this system upon which we war.” Senator Johnson stated that he had complied with the law of Alabama and expected his name to go on the ballot but that his opponents were trying to defeat the intent of the law enting the primary from tak He stated it took two Court decisions to put his the ballot in South Dakota. He then threw down the gauntlet to the Ohio Republican State central :ommittee by telling them that no mmmittee, "no matter how influential ir how rich,’’ could dictate «* «“ *•« pel of Ohio as to who wou sent that State at the conventior State recently indorsed President Goolidge.

The King and Queen of Spain lunched aboard the battleship with the Duk< of Oosta, the Duke of Pistoia, General Prhno de Rivera and others, when someone expresed a wish to hear the crew sing. An impromptu concert was ar ranged and both the King and Queen of Spain joined in several choruses. Queen Victoria was invited to sing, and having a fine contralto voice she smilingly obliged, much to the grati fication of the assembled guests and crew. Encores were demanded and given and Her Majesty’s solos proved the “star” turn of the entertainment. General Primo de Rivera was a good second with his rendering of the Fascist hymn “Giovinezza.” The Dictator afterwards said he had so fallen in love with that hymn that he would certainly adopt it for his Fascists in Spain.

T Opposes the Proposal to Loan Germany Money The administration is advocating the loan of several million dollars to our former enemy, Germany, for purely humanitarian purposes. Re spect for humanity, when suffering, is a great appeal, one that is often met without (Jiestioning, but when it comes to the point of having sympathy with Germany from the purely humanitarian standpoint, from our viewpoint, energy is wasted. We are opposed to any loan by the gov ernment, of any public funds, to Germany, for the following reasons: Normally a German mark had on par exchange a value of 23.821 cents pr 4.197,922 per dollar. The mark is worth today on the exchange, 0.000, 000,025 cents or no telling how many million to the dollar. The mark has been forced down in value by the German government since the war, from a valuation as good as the French franc to less than the value of the paper it is printed on. The policy of the German govern ment has been to plead poverty, by premeditated inflation and to refuse to repair that portion of France that rhe ruthlessly wrecked and ruined while her own country was left Practically intact. she would uphold and esfc credit, have lost billions o ining markets, to which end y has profitted immensely, r enough to pay the repari Prance. e know a North Carolina German propogandists assert that France is militaristic and that she has the largest military establishment in the world, despite her recent experi ences. France is profiting by her ex perience by maintaining the estab lishment and like unto the dose of medicine that Germany administered in 1870, she is holding the Ruhr dis trict, Germany’s industrial center, for a guarantee that the terms of the Versailles treaty will be met. (Ger many, history tells us, collected $2, 000,000,000 in gold francs before she recalled her military from France.)
