"KEYNOTE" IS LENGTHY AFFAIR CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND, June 10.—Pointing backward with a prideful finger at Republican accomplishments during the past four years, and peering ahead into the future with a promise of further constructive administration if President Coolidge is given the necessary working majority in congress, Representative Theodore Burton formally opened the Republican national convention here today and in doing so uttered a warning to Republicans that there is no room in this country for a third party. The speech of Representative Burton did more than merely open the convention amid all the familiar color and panoply of great political gatherings—it set down with considerable definiteness the issues upon which President Coolidge will seek the sanction of the electorate. The reference to a third party on every hand was construed as a thinly veiled admonition to the insurgents within the party. "A tendency toward third party movements is manifest wherever parliamentary government exists," said Representative Burton, after a lengthy review of the party's record in Washington. "This has been true of most of the countries in continental Europe for years. The effect is inevitably demoralizing, involving failure in constructive policies and often times control by a minority or combination of minorities." If we should tread the path which so many other countries WHERE REPUBLICANS WILL NAIL MILLER AND TALKS TO PARLIAMENT PARIS, June 10—President Millerand, who is fighting the efforts of the left bloc to force him from office, addressed a message to parliament this afternoon ask- CONVENTION PERMA IS CONSERVATI "A tendency toward third party movements is manifest wherever parliamentary government exists," said Representative Burton, after a lengthy review of the party's record in Washington. "This has been true of most of the countries in continental Europe for years. The effect is inevitably demoralizing, involving failure in constructive policies and often times control by a minority or combination of minorities. If we should tread the path which so many other countries have trod with disastrous results, inefficiency and confusion would be the outcome and there would be an expression, not of majority will, but the will of groups and sections." This was all, there was no direct reference to menace of a third party presented by the LaFollette and allied insurgent groups within the party, but none of his hearers had any doubt as to what this particular portion of the keynote speech referred. Further on he expressed the party's resentment at "blocks" and "roiferous minorities" and said that much of the blame that is visited upon Republicans in the present congress is not deserved because of many major questions their party had not controlled a majority in either branch. There was a marked allusion to the balance of power held in the present congress by LaFollette and its militant band of insurgents. "Let us not for a minute forget." Burton continued, "the importance of a Republican majority in the next congress, made up of members tried and true, who will stand united." The country, Representative Burton said, looks to President Coolidge for leadership. As a candidate for the presidency, and this in the midst of temptations stronger than those by which the angels fell, he has shown no truckling no scheming for votes but has gone calmly and steadily on his way unaffected by the lure of expediency or the promise of success." Burton declared. In prosperity after a period of business and economic depression which followed the war. Peace with all the world, "The Democrats could not make peace," he said, and the Republicans did.

The budget law and economy in government which he said has saved the nation hundreds of millions of dollars. A turf law which he claimed has protected industry and added businesses of millions in revenue to the treasury. Abolition of the 12-hour workday by the late President Millerand TALKS TO PARLIAMENT PARIS, June 10—President Millerand, who is fighting the efforts of the left bloc to force him from office, addressed a message to parliament this afternoon asking the members to "respect the constitution and not make the presidency a plaything of the parties." Premier Francois-Marshal read the message in the chamber; former minister of Justice Ratler read it in the senate. The president asked the parliament not to begin the session with a revolutionary act. Rejection of the presidential message, it was expected, would be followed by the president's resignation. Millerand suffered a snub and a defeat in the senate when that body adjourned, on a motion by the left bloc, immediately after the message was read after refusing to discuss it. The adjournment vote was 154 to 144, the opposition having a majority of 10. LAGUNA BEACH MAN VISITS AUSTRALIA E. E. Jahraus, pioneer real estate man of Laguna Beach sailed from San Francisco today for a stay of five or six months in the South Sea islands and Australia. For more than 20 years Mr. Jahraus has been actively engaged in business in Laguna Beach. During that time he has seen it grow from a small community of half a dozen houses to a thriving and prosperous small city. Due largely to his efforts several thousand feet of water front between Boat Canyon and the center of the town has been dedicated to the public and will be held as a public park forever. This gives Laguna unique advantage over most beach cities and is a feature that will be more and more appreciated as time goes by. president's inauguration from March 4 to the preceding January 1, in order that the public will may earlier accomplish its result in the halls of congress.

Miss Darcy, according to a deposition in the case, broke her engagement to a British navy officer after she charged Sully had he said, and the Republicans did.

The budget law and economy in government which he said has saved the nation hundreds of millions of dollars. A Griff law which he claimed has protected industry and added budgets, of millions in revenue to the treasury. Abolition of the 12-hour working day by the late President Harding. Tax reduction. Passage of a foreign debt funding law, which has already successfully insured the collection of nearly half the billions loaned to Europe during the war. An immigration policy that will protect future generations and at the same time permit a steady influx of desirables from the world. The Dawes plan for settlement of the controversial reparations problem which he declared now bids fair to accomplish the highly desirable results of stabilizing Europe. For the future, he charted this course for the party: Further tax reduction and reform, along scientific lines as laid down by Secretary of the Treasury Melion. Street law enforcement. Conscription of wealth and labor in time of war as well as human life. Advancement of the date of the president's inauguration from March 4 to the preceding January 1, in order that the public will may earlier accomplish its result in the halls of congress. Another arms conference as soon as Europe is stabilized and in that state of tranquility that will make possible international agreements. Adherence to the world court advocated by Harding, Hughes and Coolidge, with the reservations written by the former. Continued opposition to government ownership and "paternalism" in government, and continued adherence to "sane regulations." There was no direct reference to prohibition, or to the Ku Klux Klan, and as for the bonus, Representative Burton merely stated it was now on the statute books and should be accepted as such. Concerning the investigations at Washington, which resulted in the unearthing of so much scandal, he said: "I must enter a solemn protest against the impression that there is widespread corruption at Washington? It is an infamous crime to seek to destroy the confidence of the American people in their government." Undoubtedly, he said, instances of bribery and corruption had been disclosed, but these were matters of personal, not party responsibility, he declared and should be punished as such, irrespective of politics or partisan considerations.

These included Secretary of State Huges; Secretary of War Weeks; Theodore Roosevelt; Secretary of Commerce Hoover; Representative Theodore Burton, of Ohio; Senator Smoot, of Utah, and C.
