All winter the War Risk worked
half-an-hour more each day than
other Government departments, and
we get only one-half the bonus paid
others. At this time the insurance
division is working an hour extra.
Much of this is due to the big guns

Now that Irwin Cobb, favorite son
of Paducah, Ky, has been so highly
honored by the Democratic party. IL
surely seems up to Trixie Friganga,
favorite daughter OF the old town of
the Pennyrile, to come across with
something to electrify the folks.
In the dim and misty distance the
Peerless Loser declared it vns the
crime OF the ages to cruelty mankind
on cross OF gold, but during the re-

reversed himself completely and with

SAN FRANCISCO, June % To- days Democratic national conven- tion's program was called to order at o'clock this afternoon. Prayer was made by Rev. William F. Nichols, Episcopal Bishop of San Francisco. The report of the committee on ere detials and the committee on pcrma- nent organization was submitted.
 Senator Robinson was made per mancnt Chairman and he made an ad, dress.
 The resolutions committee was hold ing sessions and was not ready to re- port. The platform committee made a report and this report, this afternoon, is being discussed. The debate on the various blanks and the subsequent de- velopmcnts will determine the time of the nominating speeches which are next in order after the platforms adoption.
 The assembling of the convention delegates an hour later than usual put the delegates facing time killing space but it gave the committees plen- ty of time for work.
 The second keynote of the conven- tion was that of Senator Robinson, permanent chairman. Senator Robin son assailed the Republicans and the Republican platform, and made espec- ial mention of the disclosures of the Republican expenditures of large sums of money in pre-convention con tests, particularly did the speaker at tack the Republican Senators who fought the ratification of the treaty.
 The principal event of today's pro- gram are the prospects for a spectac- ular fight on the floor over the refus- al to seat Reed, hedged about with the uncertainty of the Georgia case.
 While the platform committee has it's report and this is being discussed, the subcommittee of nine administra- tion supporters, who will ultimately prepare the real platform, are wait ing results from the convention floor.
 The McAdoo people appeared this afternoon for the first time with a working organization in practically every delegation. The administration forces are in full control of the ma chinery and apparently able to dic- tate the platform and the nominee.
 McAdoo's name will be placed in nomination at the earliest possible op- portunity by Jenkins supporters. This was decided upon today.
 The rules committee has adopted rhe motion rejecting the unit rule in states in which the laws requirs the election of de.egates by districss. This vii split the New York delegation if tha report is adopstd.
 The defeat of :!lc 5rys on the first votc will not affect the attitude Il the convention it is cia'red by th' dry s,;.,orters. Ti.v ua;m the Women: Christian TempsranGs Union. Aeti' Saloon League, prsbyterians, Pich- ard Pearson do5son tnd oth 1T dry re- presentatives have appeared here
