ever the opposition of the leaden) of the,
' Republican party, enabled America to
withstand the strain of war without
shock or panic and ultimately mado our
country the greatest creditor nation of
the world."
Republican Record Darren
Turning to the record of tho Repub
lican Congress since 1018, Mr. Cum
mings snid it was "barren of achieve
ment, shameless in wuste of time nnd
money and without parallel for its in
competencies, failures and repudi
ations." President Wilson s two nppcnls before
Congress for legislation dealing "with
profiteering, reduction of taxation, aid
, for soldiers and laws to improve rela
tions of capital and labor were ignbrcd,
Mr. Cummings declared, and "after a
year of sterile debate our country has
neither peace nor reconstruction.
He dwelt particularly on nttacks
made upon tho President. Malice fol
lowed him to the peace tabic, he said,
and widespread propaganda made it im
perative when lie returned from Paris
to "make a struggle for that which
had been won at incalculable cost. This
atant wreck of health, sickness for
months on a bed of pain, and worse, the
flekness of heart which comes from the
knowledge that political adversaries nrei
r . . "i ...
tarageiy destroying not merely tnc worK
o men's hnnds, but the world's nope ol
settled pence.. This was the af
fliction this tho crucifixion."
Mr. Cummltigs continued that in ono
tense "it is quite immaterial what peo
ple say about the President. Nothing
we can say enn add or detract from the
fame that "will How down the unend
ing channels of history."
League of Nations
vie cited tho Republican and Progres
sive platforms of 1010 as part of the
icrnrd plnring this country in favor ol
the League of Nntlons.
"The Republican platform contains a
vague promise to establish another or a
different form of association among
nations of a tenuous and shadowy char
acter. Our proposed copartners In
such a project are unnamed an,d un

Cummings Sounds
Democratic Keynote
Thcso nre tho Issues on which
Chairman Cummings, of tho Demo
cratic national committee, in his
Itcynoto nddrcss, urges tho party to
wage the fight for President :
League -of - Nations ' covenant,
"Monroo Doctrine of the world."
Peace treaty's defeat blackest
crime against civilization in conn
try's history.
Republican 'platform reactionary,
visionary nnd filled with premedi
tated slanders.
Democratic Pty from 1013 to
outbreak of war has to its credit
more cffcctlvo and constructive legis
lation thaij, Republican party
achieved In a generation.
War carried America to greater
heights of honor, power and glory
than It had e.vcr before achieved.
All accomplished under leadership
of a great Democrat and great Dem
ocratic administration.
Congressional "smelling commit
tees" disclosed that It was the clean
est war ever fought.'
Peace achievements of party vast
ly beneficial to country.
President Wilson the victim of
Republican malice.
Party stands for realization of
ideals for which tho war was fought.
dissolve It nnd to begin anew, or
whether tho purpose Is to establish a
new association of a competitive char
acter, composed of the nations that re
pudiated tho existing league. The do
vitalizing character of such an expedi
ent requires no comment. Fntuous fu
tility could be carried no farther.
There Is no mental dishonesty more
transparent thnn that which expresses
fealty to n League of Nations while op
posing. tho only League of Nations thnt
exists, or is ever apt to exist. Why
close our eyes to actual world condi
tions? A League of Nations already
exists. It is not a project, it is a fact.
Wo must cither enter It or remain out
of It."
"Whnt nations stand outside? Rev
olutionary Mexico, Rolshevist Russia,
unspeakable Turkey and the United
States.
"It Is not yet too late. Let us stand
with the fbrces of civilization. The
choice Is plain. It is between the Dem
ocratic party's support of tho League
of Nations, with its program of peace,
disarmament nnd world fraternity, and
the Republican party's platform of re
pudiation, provincialism, militarism
and world chaos." '
Wilson Against Nullification
Declaring the "foolish Invention"
thnt the President had refused to per
mit the dotting of an "i" or the crossing
of a "t" had been so often repeated
that many honest people believed in its
truth, Mr. Cummings said:
"In every speech made during his
tour;, tho President stated entire will
ingness to accept any and all reserva
tions not incompatible with America's
honor and true interests. It is tho
plain intent of tho covenant that the
Monroe Doctrine is excluded, thnt do
mestice questions are exempted, that not
one American can be sent out of the
country without formal action by Con
gress and that the right of withdrawal
is absolute. If there arc words which
can make these meanings clearer, they
will bo welcomed. It is not reserva
tions thnt the President stands ngalnst,
but nullillcatlon."
He told how President Wilson had
published the tentative text of tho
league covenant widely in 1010, asking
for criticism nnd receiving "suggestions
from Taft, Hughes and others that
were "actually incorporated into the
revised draft of tho league."
Senator Lodge, he said, refused to
offer constructive amendments at any
time. "So Intolcjnnt was his attitude
that ho would not even consider a com
promise proposed by former President
Taft of his own party and which was
assured of support of forty Demo
cratic senators. Senator Lodge knew
that ho controlled the Senate and that
In his own time and way he would de
stroy tho treaty.
Story of Treaty's Defeat
"This is the sordid story of its de
feat." said Cummings, after reviewing
the Senate's action in the matter. "No
blacker crime against civilization hns
ever soiled the pages of our history.

To Keep Eyes to Front
"The Republican party would turn
backward, unmlndfurof tho hopes and
aspirations of forward-looking men and
women, and would have us restore to
power reactionary forces which could
only result in ruin and disaster, but wc
will continue to keep our eyes to the
front and will hold to tho path that
during eight glorious years has ed
America to prosperity, peace and world
leadership.
"Our opponents speak to the people
in the language of yesterday. They
sec only through tho lenses of reaction.
Through years of retrogression their
party has now reached the decadent
stage. The Chicago' platform stamps it
as a party of destruction. Its declara
tion of principles condemns but sug
gests no remedy either for real or fan
cied ills. It is out of tune with free
people everywhere ; It Is out of harmony
with the world's desire; it no longer,
as in the days of its' rebirth, stands as
a giant championing the cnuse of free
dom, but, dwarfed by loss of principle,
it has developed into a vicious, crabbed
old scold.
"America will not look for leadership
In that party ; America will not tolerate
tho leadership of tht party. Never
mora than now does our country look
to Democracy to save it from the course
nf national degradation prescribed by
Republicanism, or to save it from ab
ject humiliation before the nntions of
the earth.
"Never an Evasive Party"
"Our party is almost as old as the
nation itself. It was created when tho
forces of popular government assumed
for tho first time In the world's history
the direct conduct of n nation. It has
progressed In thought as our nation
progressed in growth and attainment. It
hns kept paco with tho time and has
measured the tread of tho advancing
host of liberal government.

party. It was not evasion that ma'dc

sion thnt made Andrew Jackson tho per

It was not evasion that made the Demo
cratic party of today the champion of
tho world's hopes, and neither will It
be evasion that will make the nominee
nf this convention the President of the
United vStatcs.
"Our party will present policies In a
direct and constructive way; the Re
publican platform Is but an ingenious
device meant to conceal trreconcllnble
differences. '
"In delivering our message to the
American peopje our party will raise
Us anchor upon the shores of honesty
and steer unfalteringly through the
straits of courage.
"With civilization's existence Jeopar
dized in the recent Inferno of world
chaos. America reached out its hand to
stay destructive fojpes. We placed her
once more, in her exalted position and
raised again the fallen torch
whence radiates the light that tempers
brutish hearts and softens human souls.
The world is wnitlne to hear the de
cision ot the American electorate upon
the covenant of the League of Nations;
a war-worn world Implores America to
take the lead In' this great movement,
nnd humanity's voice cries out implor
ingly to our great nation.
"Our country did not falter in its
duty to silence the guns of war; our
party will not falter in its duty to
perpetuate peace."
Dry Dattlo Impends
Tho subject of keenest interest to the
delegates manifestly was the impend
ing prohibition fight, but talk of can
didates was gaining moro and more
attention as the rival managers got
down to cases with the big body of
unlnstructed and unpledged delegates.
The latest turn of the McAdoo boom
furnished a new angle to the conven
tion preliminaries, but its precise effect
on the relative situation of the candi
dates was not yet cldar. Announce
ment that despite bis. declaration that
he did no want the nomination he
would be willing to accept it, was vari
ously accepted by the several elements
in the fight.
lly some ft was declared the develop
ment meant that 'McAdoo, whose sup
porters hitherto had planned to keep
him in the background for several bal
lots, now would be an actlvo contender
from the start and tliaKin consequence
the convention, like that of the Re
publicans at Chicago, would have a big
three running close up to the roll call.
The possibility of such a development
brought renewed claims' of consistent
gains from tho 'Bupporters of Palmer
nnd Cox and set the dark horses champ
ing impatiently as they realized what
happened to the big tbrcc at Chicago.
Active for Palmer and Cox
The Palmer nnd Cox managers sought
to discount the apparent significance
of the McAdoo announcement, which
was made by National .Committeeman
Love, of Tcxns. withoutsaying whether
he had any direct authorization from
McAdoo. It was apparent, however,
that many of the McAdoo workers, who
have been canvnssing for votes without
much organization or system, accepted
the statement of Love at itfl face value.
Among the best-informed politicians
the general opinI6u was that it still was
too early to definitely forecast what
would happen. They suggested that
the Love statement only put the techni
cal situation back where it was whin
McAdoo announced recently that he
did not rare to be considered a candi
date. At that time both Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and Governor Cox were ac
tive candidates and their supporters
were claiming victory.
McAdoo Delegates Return
In tho pre -convention scramble for
delegates many of .those who had been
McAdoo supporters promised to vote
for other candidates, but the McAdoo
men declared today that virtually
every one of these could be brought
back into the Told. .
There was frequent mention of Sec
retary Meredith, of tho Agricultural
Department, as a possible running mete
foy McAdoo. Mr. Meredith's presiden
tial campaign headquarters were closed
Saturday when he announced bo was
in no seiise a candidate.
Discussion of candidates manifestly
still was subordinate in the minds of
many delegates to the prohibition issue,
and they regarded the inevitable pre
liminaries of the opening sesblon with
impatience as they waited for the time
when the differences of the wets and
drys could bo threshed out. It seemed
a foregono conclusion that the question
would be settled only after a stubborn
fight on the floor, bringing into play
the best oratorical and strategical fire
works ot a typical Democratic con
vention. The League of Nations and
the Irish question also threatened to
get out of the control of tho resolutions
committee and shower tho convention

floor with pyrotechnics. There were
many expressions of hope, however, thnt
both might be threshed out to a satisfac
tory conclusion behind the committee
doors.
Glass Supporter Confident '
Confidence thnt Senator Glass, of
Virginia, had moro than enough votes
to elect him chairman of tho resolutions
committee, was asserted today by his
manngcrs. ,
"Wc have several votes to spare,"
said Senator Harrison, of Mississippi,
who has been active in support of tho,
Virginia scantor.
Friends of Senator Walsh, of Mon
tant, brought out In opposition to Sena
tor Glass, would not concede the Vir
ginia's lead, however, and still claimed
a majority.
Tho resolutions committee was to
meet soon after adjournment of today's
convention session nnd it wag agreed
by both factions in the chairmanship
contest that the issue would be settled
quickly.
The credentials .committee will
tako up the Georgia rind Missouri con
tests, while the rules commltten is
determining on a list of permanent
officers for the convention. Senator
Iloblnson, of Arkansas, had been se
lected by tho administration group for
the permanent chairmanship and his
indorsement by the committee seemed
assured.
Rryan Has Littlo to Say
Contrary tojhc expectations of many
delegates William J. Rryan was having
little to say about the permanent or
ganization of the convention and its
committees. Ttnnv with hln ficht to tint
a' dry plank into the platform he nppnrl
cniiy wns interposing no active, oppo
sition to the administration organiza
tion program, though ho was credited
With lending encouragement to tho can
didacy of Senator Walsh for the reso
lutions chairmanship,
As in more than one previous na
tional convention Mr. Brvan was look
ed upon as an unknown quantity which
might turn out to be the deciding lac
tor In almost any of the political equa
tions now confronting the party lead
ers. No one professed to Know what
new and unexpected clement he might
bring into piny at tho critical time.
Buglo Replaces Gavel
An innovation at the open
nlng of tho Democratic National Con
vcntlbn today was the silencing of the
great gathering by a bugle call instead
of by the usual pounding with the gavel.
As the "bugler's notes came to an end
and the buzz of conversation on the
floor ceased a detachment of marines,
standing iri front of the platform,
raised the national colors and presented
nrms while the bond, high up behind
the chairman, played the "Star Spangled
Banner." The formnl call to order by
Vlco Chairman J. Bruce Kremer was
to follow.
The arrangement was mnde by Sec
retary of the Navy Danlehnat the sug

Bryan's Profiteering Plank J
State commissions, similar to the
federal trade commission, to prevent
profiteering, are a feature of a plank
on profiteering proposed by William J.
Bryan. It is as follows:
"The Democratic party pledges tho
nation to rid It of tho profiteer nnd to
close the door against his return. It
will endeavor to eliminate all unneces
sary middlemen by the encouragement
k '
JUNE 28, 1920
of organizations nmong producers that
will bring those who sell nnd thoso who
use nearer together. It will cnac and
enforce laws thnt will effectively pre
vent excessive charges by such middle
men as are necessary. To this end it
will demand legislation subjecting to
tho penalties of the criminal law cor
porate officers and employes who give
or carry out Instructions that result in
extortion ; it will mnke it unlawful for
any one engaged In interstate com
merce to mnke the sale of one article
dependent "upon the purchase of" an
other article, nnd it will require such
corporations to disclose to customers
the difference between .cost price nnd
selling price or limit tho profit that
can bo legally charged as the rate of in
terest Is now limited. It will also
endeavor to create in the several ntntcs
trade commissions with powers as am
ple as those of the federal trado com
mission nnd to enact laws authorizing
each local community to create, as
needed, similar commissions for the in
vestigation of local charges of profiteer
IrJg." The clause to punish profiteering by
corporation officers, Mr, Bryan said,
is-designed to meet court decisions pre
venting prison sentences being im
posed on corporation officers.
Another plank dealing with the
treaty of Versailles and the League of
Nations is to be made' public tomorrow
by Mr. Bryan.
Edward W. Quinn, mayor of Cam
bridge, was elected national committee
man from Massachusetts by the dele
gation from that state.
Withdrawal of Daniel F. Dohcrtv.
Springfield, from the contest at the last
minute, resulted in seven delegates re
cusing to cast their votes, it was Raid.
'lhe caucus named Senator -Walsh to
the resolutions committee, and selected
him to head the delegation.
The six District of Columbia dele
gates, including Balnbddgc Colby, sec
retary of state, adopted a resolution
pledging their support to Attorney Gen
eral Palmer for President. Secretary
Colby was selected as ajneniber of the
resolutions committee.
Virginia delegates elected Represent
ative II. D. Flood chairman of their
delegation, and named Senator Carter
uinss to be a member ol the resolu
tions committee.
Ratifying the instructions given them
by the state convention, the delegates
resolved to cast a solid vote on the first
ballot at least for Senator Glass as
presidential nominee, but took no bind
ing action as to further votes.
No causus was held by Wisconsin
delegates, but an informal agreement
made en route to tho convention, by
which Joseph E. Davies, former federal
trade commissioner, becomes chairman,
and Judge J. 0. Carle, of Milwaukee,
resolutions committee member, has been
accepted. 4
Delegates said McAdoo sentiment
predominated in the delegation, though
all of the principal contenders for the
presidential nomination would be rep
resented on early ballots.
McAdoo Considered
Best Vote Getter
Contmard from Pace Ono
clans like Arthur Mullen, of Nebraska,
and Senator Simmons, of North Caro
line, Is not to put the McAdoo name In
nomination, but just to vote for him.
Thus they wilt obey the letter of the
-secretary's statement declining to
have his nnme formally presented to
the convention. Mr. McAdoo is to be
a candidate in spite of himself, a can
didate whose name will not go before
the delegates and a candidate without
an agent or a spoKesmnu at this con
vention. VoleBroall on Early Ballots
And thp.McAdoo volunteers ar going
to bo discreet about casting their votes
for their candidate. They will reveal
his strength gradually. They will cul
tlvato as few antagonisms as possible.
The vote for McAdoo, according to their
plans, will be less than 200 on the first
ballot. They will eliminate Palmer
and Cox in the early balloting, if they
can.

who is moreover burdened with the
charge of setting up a dynasty ns the
President's son-in-law, would obviously
not succeed if it were not for the
weakness of his rivals, but Palmer Is
Impossible, nnd the convention, having
looked Cox over, has apparently said
no to his nsptratlons.
The bosses who pinned their hopes
upon Cox apparently forgot the woman
voter. And one hears more of her
here than at Chicago. The Democrats
would like to be wet, or at least moist,
nnd they would like to nominate Cox.
But they aro afraid of the women vot
ers In the dry states nnd of tho women
voters' attitude toward a candidate for
President who has been divorced by
his wife.
Only McAdoo's final nnd unequivocal
withdrawal .irom tnc race could lead
to the'nomlnatlon of Cox. That might
do it or it might result in the choice
of a dark horse.
The woman vote Is n big factor, too,
with regard to the platform. The
declaration regarding prohibition will
be dry, or it will be a meaningless
straddle It won't be wet. The lib
eralizers of the Volstead act are up
against the same difficulty as,thc anti
prohibitionists in Congress. Many del
egates would like to nut a little molstura
In the platform. They can point ta
states that might be won by holding
out some faint hope of light wines and
beer. But they always face the loss
of the West and that uncertain factor,
the woman voter. In tho states which
they might think possible to carry by
nuttinz a little moisture In the nlat-
form. For political reasons, the liquor
plank will probably be' a straddle, but
It will be so by grace ot the drys, espe
cially the southern drys, who think that
votes may be gained in the East by
straddle.
See President's Shhdow
Over the convention hangs not only
doubt of Its leading candidate's inten
tions, but doubt about the Whte House.
The Democrats would like to get Mr.
Wilson out of the way. They think
that this would leave tbem nil free, in
cluding Mr. McAdoo, for they impute
his hesitation to Rome doubt about the
President's intention and feel sure that
in some way, directly or indirectly, the
White House was responsible for the
McAdoo statement of withdrawal.
The administration forces here are
divided. Senator Walsh, of Montana,
always a faithful administration man
in Washington, is here set down as an
anti-administration candidate for per
manent chairman. He lends a faction
which is restless over the President's
keeping himself constantly in the pic
ture. This faction thinks that the
President ought to declare himself not
a candidate for a third term and thus
set his pnrty free. There is much re
sentment hereit tho administration's
silence. No one here thinks for a
moment that Mr. Wilson will be nomi
nated again . The delegates will not
tako him.
But many here believe that the third -term
idea is cherished in or near the
White House, and that it came near
wrecking the McAdoo candidacy, and
may yet do so.
