Syracuse, N. T., February 3.-The re- view of the legislative achievements of the democratic party, an attack upon the republican party for it's attitude toward the League of Nations, and a plea for harmony marked an address by Homer s. Cummings, national dem ocratic committee chairman, at con- ference here tonight of party leaders from central and northern New York.
 Chairman Cummings declared that "every democrat has a right to rejoice in the unparalleled record of our party. enriched as it has been by a leadership which has carried America to greater heights of prosperity and honor and glory than she has ever before known.
 Tt is literal fact" he stated. that during our control of the government. prior to the war, we placed upon the statute books more useful and con structive legislation than the repub- lican party had placed there in a gem eration."
 Mir Cummings said "the gentlemen who are now leading the republican party. criticising the President of the United States and warning the people against the League of Nations. are the bad advisers of old. whose counsel led to trouble and whose advice had to be discarded before America could make progress"
