Will Permit Vote on
Shipping Bill Soon
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 11. Republi
cans of the Senate indicated to-day
that they would permit a vote to be
reached on the administration ship
ping bill late to-morrow or Monday.
This developed while Senators Jones
and Gallinger were crossquestioning
Senator Simmons about progress on
the revenue bill being drafted by a
finance subcommittee.
Senator Simmons said he hoped to
have the revenue measure ready for
full committee Monday and to report
it to the Senate Tuesday. While it
is being perfected the Democrats will
call up the workmen's Compensation
bill or Philippine conference report.
Senator Jones resuming his speech
against the shipping bill urged that
even if the measure should meet one
purpose for which it w» proposed and
reduce freight rates, foreign import
ers rather than American shippers,
would be the beneficiaries. ,
Senator Fletcher, of the Commerce
Committee, submitted an amendment
to provide that whenever regulations
or practices of foreign governments
operate to discriminate against ves
sels of the United States It would be
the duty of the shipping board to re
port to the President for diplomatic
action or to be brought to the atten
tion of Congress.

More Cash Comlnsr In.—The pub
licity given to the situation at the State
Treasury, where there is a shortage of
available cash to meet the bills and
requisitions, is causing considerable ac
tivity in pushing for settlements. Some
of the big settlements are being sent
out and demands are being made for
payment on others which have been
out some time.

PROTECTION FOR
FARMERS URGED
[Continued From First Page]
broken by a series of short stops. The
party is due in Billings at 7:30 to
night.
Mr. Hughes told an audience of
farmers in the Grand Forks auditor
ium yesterday that he believed in a
protective tariff that would protect
them as well as the men in the fac
tories.
"I believe in a protective tariff," Mr.
Hughes said. "I believe in protection
without abuse. I think that is pos
sible.
"Our opponents who for generations
have told us that it was contrary to
the Constitution of the United States
to have duties except for purpose of
revenue are now telling us that there
is an economic revolution and that
perhaps we can have a duty on dye
stuffs and a nonpartisan commission.
But I believe in trusting those who
really accept the doctrine of protec
tion with its enforcement. And I be
lieve in protection for the farmers
just as I believe in protection for the
men in the factories."
Weakness Breeds Insults
Mr. Hughes repeated his views on
preparedness, saying that he stood for
reasonable preparedness.
"Weakness breeds insults and in
sults breed war," he said. "I stand
for the protection of American rights.
Firm Insistence on American rights
backed by reasonable preparedness
means peace and security."
Crisp weather, so cold that over
coats were necessary, greeted the
nominee here.
Senators, Townsend and
Penrose Also Back Durand
Declarations of Hughes
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 11. Senator
Townsend, Republican, of the Census
Committee, made a statement in the
Senate to-day, supporting the declara
tions of Charles E. Hughes, that E.
Dana Durand. former director of the
census was removed from office to
make a vacancy for political reasons
and taking issue with Secretary Red
field's rejoinder that Mr. Durand re
tired voluntarily.
"The secretary of commerce says
Mr. Durand resigned," said Senator
Townsend. "That is not correct. The
fact is that Secretary Redfield called
on Durand in April and stated that
he desired his position. Durand re
plied that much Important work was
in progress and that he ought to be al
lowed to finish it. The next day, Mr.
Harris' (William J. Harris) nomina
tion was sent to the Senate and the
next day it was announced that Mr.
Durand had resigned."
Resided Tinier Pressure

mittee and delayed the confirmation of
Harris.
'•'l believe it is well for the country
to know the facts," continued Senator
Townsend. "Mr. Durand was practi
cally removed. He resigned under
pressure after he had stated he ought
to remain until the census reports
were completed. The telegrams sent
out by Secretary Redfleld absolutely
were unfaithful to the facts. Mr.
Harris was appointed for political
reasons and his name sent in after j
Mr. Durand was forced out of office." j
Senator Smith, Democrat, of Georgia
said he "desired to congratulate the
other side In that they have at last j
found an issue. My criticism of the j
President and Secretary of Commerce
in this matter," Senator Smith con
tinued, "is that they did not remove
Mr. Durand frankly and openly from
office. He was inefficient as an execu
tive officer. There was waste of
money, duplication of work and care
lessness of management in his ad
ministration. He was a man utterly
without executive capacity of the kind
needed in a director of the Census."
Scores Hyprocrlsy
Senator Penrose said that Durand
was not the issue. "The issue here,"
he said, "is that the Secretary of Com
merce deliberately and publicly stated
that Durand resigned and was not re
moved. and it later turns out that he
was removed and that the Secretary
of Commerce to put it mildly, is de
tected in deliberately misrepresenting
the facts to the American people. I
am not a fanatical civil service re
former myself, but X abhor the hypo
crisy which characterizes this whole
transaction."
Senator Penrose charged the ad
ministration with a complete over
throw of the Civil Service. "Never
since the Civil War has there been
such brazen, unscrupulous raid on the
merit system as under this haloed ad
ministration," he said. "The Post
Office Department has been utterly
demoralized. The post office in Phila
delphia is in the worst shape it has
ever been. I have seen postmasters
in Florida who by their appearance
would hardly be competent physically
or mentally to sweep the streets."
Democratic Platform
Makers in Trouble Over
"Votes For Women" Plank
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Aug. 11.—
The adoption of a party platform was
the principal business of the Demo

to-day. Prospects that a contest might
develop over an attempt by supporters
of Judge Samuel Seabury, of the
Court of Appeals to force an endorse
ment of his candidacy for the guberna

maries appeared to have been removed
with the announcement of the Sea
bury leaders that they would refrain
from >such action.
The platform builders worked all
last night on the declaration of party
principles to be presented. The dis
cussion centered largely around the
"votes for women" plank submitted
by the suffrage party. National pre

Nothing ia ever gained by forcing a.
child to eat when it refuses food. Make ]
sure that nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growingchild docs nothave
a healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment if 1
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially it the patient is pale, languid,
! nervous, irritable, and without ambi
tion, usually means that the blood ia
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is demanded.
During her 'teens a girl lays the foun
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak a safe
tonic and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. Tin y make the blood
