PALMER AND PALS
DROP. P.'DRY' PLANK
FROM PLATFORM
Mccormick Sits in at Demo
cratic Meeting Which
Dodges Prohibition
CANDIDATES ARE SHY
Repudiate the Repudiators by
Steering Clear of Hall;
Rupp in the Chair

The Palmer Mccormick faction in
control of the state Democratic com
mittee meeting at the Board of Trade
this afternoon, adopted a platform
making no mention fprohibition.
This was the issue on which the
Palmer Mccormick bosses split with
Judge Bonniwell, the wet" Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, and
when the platform draft was reld
and 1t was apparent that Palmer aud
Mccormick meant to dodge the dry"
issue, amazement was apparent on
the faces of the committeeman.
The committee to-day ignored the
candidacy of Judge Bonniwell, and
endorsed all other candidates on the
state, congressional and legislative
tickets. This action was taken after
a vitriolic denunciation of Judge Bon
niwell by National Committeeman A.
Mitchell Palmer, ten days ago made
the charges against the Judge which
led to the committee sulnmoning the
gubernatorial candidate to come be-
fore 1t and show cause why he should
not withdraw from the ticket. Judge
Bonniwell did not appear and in let
ters sent to members declared that he
would not withdraw.
Speakers at the meeting were Ma
tional Chairman Vance C. Mccormick
and EX-State Treasurer William II.
Berry in addition to Mr.. Palmer and
the Judge and Senator Penrose were
denounced for their course in Penn
sylvania politics.
The platform eXtolling President
Wilson and calling for election of
Democratic Congressman together
with a number of labor and state
planks was adopted and action taken
to bring about the candidacy of only
one Democrat for the supreme bench
so that the party will not lose it's
epresentatation
Just before the meeting adjourned
a Pittsburgh member made an effort
to have the committee endorse a plan
to vote for Mr.. Berry for governor
by stickers. but the chairman held
that such motion had to go to the
resolutions committee and the mat
ter was not pressed.
The start of the meeting was not

new ones is to remove the wrongs.
To call upon Democrats and Repub-
licans to unite in the name of Amer
lea will avail little. If such a union
could be effected it would be only to
rise higher the dam and invite the
greater disaster when the flood waters
do break through. The names Repub-
lican and Democrat have come to
mean little to the poor who feel that
they are not getting square deal un-
der present economic conditions, and
who are striving in their poor way to
find the cause.
Enlightened statesmen will not
waste time in denouncing unrest, but
will set about removing the cause. It
is not a time for name calling, but for
earnest thinking. And the Nonparti-
san league of northwestern farmers is
causing political leaders to re-examine
their own position.

Wrongs Must First Be Righted
(From the Public)
(From the Public)

The Nonpartisan league is not the
cause of unrest among northwestern
farmers; rather, it is the effect of
unrest. It is the natural and inevi-
table effect of legislation that has
given over the boundless resources of
a continent to the keeping Of a few.
1t is the effect of unrest among labor,
among tradesmen and manufacturers,
among all industries unsupported by
legal privilege. -a
It would be utterly futile to- combat
the Nonpartisan league by denuncia-
tions and appeals to patriotism.
Nothing but redress of grievances
can successfully meet them. Glass
movement though it may be, it is a
protest against intolerable wrongs;
and as those wrongs afflict the poor
in all classes and callings, the only
way of stopping the continual transfer
of voters from the old parties to the
