Special --trains brought delegations from Boston and neighboring states. Scores of in fluential leaders of the party also were acre. NORTHAMPTON , Mass., July 27. Rescue from the reactions of iwar was de- scribed as the transcendent need of the , nation in the address which Governor , " Coolidge delivered here today in accept ' ing formally the republican nomination ' tfor vice president, f ' The chief task that lies before us," he said, "is to repossess the people of their government and their property. ' ' " Governor Coolidge found another source of gravest public concern to b ; "the reactionary tendency to substitute firivate will for the public will." 'The observance of the law," he said. "is the greatest solvent of public ills." The scene of the notification waa Allen field, the recreation ground of Smith Col lege, a natural amphitheater. Governor Coolidge heard from Gov- ernor JSdwin r. Morrow, or jvenxuesy, t the formal announcement of his nomina tion "by the spontaneous wish" of the party. , ' The proposed league of nations with ' out reservations aa submitted by the ..'V president to the senate met with deserved , opposition from republican senators,'' ,eaid .Governor Coolidge. "Our party by . the record of its members in the senate and by the solemn declaration of its plat form, by performance and by promise ap ' ' proves the principle of agreement among nations to preserve peaee and pledges it self to the making of such an agreemnt, .preserving American independence and j , rignis, M WlU meet every uuiy America ... owes to humanity. This language is pur- . poseiy broad, not exclusive, but inclusive. The republican party is not narrow enough to limit itself to one idea, but (wise and broad enough to provide for the adoption of the best plan that can be devised at the time of action." -"Your presence tells me." said Gov--. ernor Coolidge, iu opening his address, 4?of a leader and a cause.

The first duty of -the government is to repress them. American institutions ean stand discus sion and criticism, only , if .those who know bear for them the testimony of the truth. : - '..', . ; " -,- "The greatest seed of the nation at the present time is to be rescued froth all the reactions of the war.- The chief task that lies before ns la to repossess the people of their government and their property. Ws want to return to a thor oughly peace basis because that is the fundamental American basis. "If the great conflict has disturbed car political conditions it has caused an r- vfarel in our economic relations. The ties have put a well nigh unbearable bur den on every home. "The most obvious phw to begin re trenchment is by eliminating the extrava gance of the government itself. That great breeder of public and private extravagance, the excess profits tax, should be revised an d recourse had to customs taxes on imports, one of the most wholesome of all means of raising reve nue, for it is voluntary in effect and taxes consumption rather than production. ' ' A revision of taxation must be accom panied by a reduction of that private ex travagance which the returns from luxu ry taxes reveal as surpassing all compre hension. "There has beeu profiteering. It J should be punished because it is wrong. I But it is idle to look to such action for relief. Tiiis class profit by scarcity. but they do not cause it. 'As everyvone knows now, the dif ficulty is caused by a scarcity of material an abundance of money and insufficient production. The government must re duce the amount of money as fast as it can without curtailing necessary credits. Production must be increased, x x x "There must be a different public at titude toward industry, a larger compre hension for the interdependence of capi tal, management and labor, and the bet ter" facilities for the prompt and reason able settlement of industrial disputes. "The farmers need an enlarged power of organization whereby the original producer may profit to a, larger degree by the high prices paid for his produce ly the ultimate consumer, and at ther same time decrease the cost of food, x x "But all these difficulties depend for final solution on the character and moral force of the nation. Unless these forces abound and manifest themselves in work done, there is no real remedy. "Whenever in the future this nation undertakes to assess its strength and re sources, the largest item will be the role of those who served her in every patri otic capacity in the world war. x x x ('are of dependents, relief from distress, restoration from infirmity, provision for education, honorable preferment in the public service, a helping hand every where, are theirs, not as a favor hut by right. - "There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with dis loyalty, they remained loyal, serving in the military fo.wes with diatin;, obedient to the draft to the extent of hun 'dreds of thousands, investing $1 out of every $5 they possessed in liberty bonds : surely they hold the double title of cit izenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all imposition, to be de fended from lynching, and to be freely granted equal opportunities. "Equal suffrage, for which I have al ways, voted, is coming, x x x The party stands pledged to pursue endeavors to hasten ratification, x x x ' The destiny, the greatness of Ameri ca . around the hearthstone. If thrift and industry are taught there, and the example of self-sacrifice oft appears, if honor abide there and high ideals, if there the building of fortune be subor dinated to the building of character, America will live in security, rejoicing in abundant prosperity, and good jrovern- ment at home, and in peace, respect and confidence abroad. If these virtues be aosent there is no power that ean sup ply these blessings. Look well then to ine Hearthstone; therein all hope for America lies. " (By the Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 27 Reduction of the allied debt to the United States y the application to the debts of the various governments of amounts awarded them on claims against this country growing out of the war, was considered today by the treasury. Payment of claims against the United States will not be made in cash or credit to debtor nations, according to present plans but amounts recovered from this country will be charged off America's bill. Negotiations are under way with France to settle in this manner claims amounting to $190,000,000 awarded that country by the war department. Trance is said to be anxious to receive the amount of the claims in cash so it may buy certain commodities in the United States but the treasury takes the position, according to officials, that it cannot pay out if a greater sum is owed in return.

"At home grave economic, industrial, social and governmental problems have too long in the past, and now continue to, press for and, demand solution, and upon their proper solution depends the prosperity, security, commercial and financial welfare of our people. "But, confronted at home with high duties and most serious responsibilities, the present national administration, en trusted with the great prowess of govern ment, has halted and hesitated and blun dered, while it bent all of its stubborn energies upon the task of fastening upon our country all of the ills of the world. The president and all those who in the past have bowed to his will, and he whom he has covered with his mantle, commit ted to his policies, and whom he now seeks to place in his stead, have for more than a year, and are now seeking to strip u of our nationalism by olotbing the nation in the multi-colored garments of interna tionalism; to take from us our sovereign ty and so, through a league of nations, to bind us to the blood fends of Europe, to make us the guarantors of shifting, vanishing boundary lines to the ends of earth, and to involve us in the greed and strife and confusion of the old world. 1 T . ... in sucn a Time ana with such issues confronting the country, Governor Mor row asserted, Governor Coolidge is confl dently called uopn to serve with a leader who "has spoken clearly, bravely and convincingly."

The ocean was filled; with soft spots, but Jersey fishermen believed! that before the day was over, the wind would get into the southward, which would give the yachts a beat to the outer mark. Some of Shamrock's crew are Incom ing restive over the races, as they have come to the conclusion that the challenger cannot go to weather with Resolute and that a craft that fails on that point of sailing cannot lift the cup. Believing they have no chance to win, the sailors are ready to return to England aud do not wish to remain here for any further sailing on Shamrock against Resolute and aVnitie, as has been suggested. The regatta committee announced thai the time allowance which Shamrock must give Resolute would remain at six min utes, 40 seconds.
