Now Living in
A New Age.

Plainly, it is a new age. The tonic
of such a time Is very celebrating. It
requires self-restraint not to attempt too
much, and yet it would be cowardly to
attempt too little. The path of duty So
berry and bravely trod is the way to serv-
ice and distinction, and many adventurous
feet seek to set out upon it,
THE platform is not program. A pro-
gram must consist Of measures, admins
trative acts and acts of legislation.
What is there to do? 1t is hard to
sum up the great task, but apparently this
is the sum of the matter: There are two
great things TO do. One is to set up the
rule of justice and of right in such mat
tiers as the tariff, the regulation of the
trusts and the prevention of monopoly,
the adaptation of our banking and cur
rency laws to the varied uses to which
our people must put them, the treat
ment of those who do the daily labor in
our factories and mines and throughout
all our great industrial and commercial
undertakings, and the political life of the
people of the Philippines, for whom we
hold governmental power in trust, for
their service, not our own. The other,

The next rule was an innovation. 1t
provided for representation in conven-
lions based on the vote for the party at
the preceding election. The basis was a
delegate to every 10000 votes for the
Progressive having the highest number
of votes.
The announcement on primaries was
equally strong. 1t directed that dele

be chosen by primary in states having
such laws, no matter whether the law
was mandatory or optional

committee laboTed all night and made
the changes he had suggested. The
new draft was turned over to the colo
mel about 9 o'clock. At 10:45 O'Clock
he gave it back to the committee, sug-
costing changes that required the re-
writing of five paragraphs. The mem
bers of the committee, already worn
out with the work of the night were
disposed to adopt crouch, but they
went to work again.
The convention took a recess from
1928 p m. to l o'clock

the time set for converting Chairman
Beveridge called the convention to or

The Journals Prediction
of Two Weeks Ago.

Two weeks ago today, The Journal
predicted that the advocates of Gov
ernor Harmon in Florida, seeing the
futility of trying to carry this state
for him, were preparing to drop the
Ohio man and swing over to the sup
port of Underwood.
BY a singular coincidence, or as a
fulhllment of the prediction, on the
following morning the Jacksonville
s Times Union announced editorially for
Mr.. Underwood and proclaimed him
Z the proper man for the democratic
nomination.
And when 1t comes to reactfonary
politics. everyone Of course knows
where the Times Union stands and
what kind of candidates it supports.
Next comes the Sanford Herald with
the following preliminary movement
toward the Underwood column. The
Herald says:
While the Herald has been disposed
TO favor the candidacy of Governor
Harmon for the democratic nomination
for the presidency, we also think that
in Oscar Underwood the south has an
will narrow down to Harmon and I'm
5erwood rather than Harmon and Will
son.
Now in further evidence of the cor
rectness of The Journals prediction,
last weeks issue Of Dixie says:
When Gov. Albert Gilchrist, Thomas
J. Appleyard and others announced
] their candidates. as Harmon delegates
TO the. national. democratic convention
the leaders of the reactionary forces
proclai ned an aggressive campaign for
the "Bdckeye Statesman"
The progressive sentiment. with
Woodrow Wilson as the standard
bearer, became too strong. and led by
\ 1naugurated TO switch from Harmon
20 Underwood in the hope that the CRY
for southern man would check the
Wilson boom and enable Florida tt
seuc delegates to Baltimore who al
heart we're for Harmon.
Leaders of the Harmon movements
have abandoned his fight in Florida
but hope to have Harmon delegates
through the cry Of Underwood whom
they would desert for Harmon.
These leaders in Jacksonville have
this week said that Harmons name
would not appear on the ballot anC
that Harmonites would all be urged tc
support Underwood.
This is the scheme of the Specia,
Interests. The Wilson newspapers
should sound the warning. Watch the
line up.
All Of which The Journal commends
TO the candid consideration of the
democrats of Florida.
Harmon cannot carry Florida and
Underwood cannot by any possibility
be nominated. 1t would seem there
fore folly for any practical Florida
democrat to waste his vote on either
of them
