 This opposition led prominent resi- del.t of Pawcatuck to remark: Its pity that the William Clark mill of the American Thread company, the c. B.

for acceptance of the mandate the
subcommittee had recommended.
The action was taken despite defin-
itc recommendation to congress by
the president that the United States
take Il mandate, resulted, commit
tecmen said, from the general feel
ing the country does not favor the
Armenian mandate or any interfer-
ence by the United States in the
affairs of foreign nations.
Despite the ultimatum served on
the committee by a committee agi-
tating for an Irish plank pledging
the democratic party to recognition
OF the Irish republic, the committee
refused to make the Irish plank
anything stronger than Il reaffirma-
ton OF previous expressions of SYM
pathy for Ireland. Proponents of
Irish independence declared they
would attack the plank on the con-
vention floor They were warned
that if they did the cnvention would
probably eliminate all reference to
Ireland.
In general, the platform consti-
tutes enthusiastic praise of the Will
son administration, coupled with the
charge that the republicans in con-
troll of congress have done every
thing in their power to hamper and
harass the president.
The labor plan\., virtually writ
ten by Samuel Gompers, met labor's
demands regarding collective bar
gaining, opposition to anti-strike
legislation and. compulsory arbitra-

the democrats would try to evolve
some fair, comprehensive method"
of voluntary arbitration of indus
trial disputes.

raging against the profiteers' and
the high cost Of living without any

Two persons were perhaps Iatally
in njured, one suffered Il fractured
arm, and two more sustained severe
bruises and cuts when two automo-
biles crashed together at the corner
of Montana and Mercury streets at
6:15 yesterday evening. The ma
chimes were driven by Charles Dock
stader and A. ]. "Curley'' Darragh,
Four OF the injured persons were
on foot, and were about to cross
Montana street from the east side.
Those injured are:
Lois Dickson, aged 8 years, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Loena Gleason of 2l3
West Mercury street, concussion of
brain, fractured jaw, serious.
Mrs. v Brown, 215 West Mercury
street, c0ncussion of brain, bruised
about body, serious.
D. ]. Mccarthy, Al Miners Bank

Mrs. Leona Gleason, 213 West

Mrs. Darragh, cuts about face.
Reports from st. James hospital
today stated the Dickson girls con-
dition is serious and she may die
Mrs. Brown is also at st. James hos

The cars were both totally
wrecked, but none of the occupants
were injured except Mrs. Darragh
who sustained cuts about the lips
when the windshield in front of he
was shattered. The drivers were
both thrown from their cars, bu
escaped without injury.

machine, and when they realize their
helplessness, they become absolute
sycophants and obedient for ever
after.
Boss Murphy and his New York
block of 80 votes are still a factor
for this reason. Their voting strength
makes them a kind of bell COW that
can make bit of trouble by straying
present case, it is more simple and
convenient for the Burleson-M McAdoo
machine to give Murphy his price
rather early in the game, knowing
that when his delegation flops to
their program the other stragglers
will come galloping in, and not have
to be approached separately with
many and expensive bags of meal.
What New York wants in the way
of federal patronage if the democrats
win in November is not known. But
MuIphv's price is pretty high or he
would have got it sooner. And,
when the administration machine
yielded to Senator Walsh on the
League of Nations plank Thursday
afternoon, it was obviously done to
bring Massachusetts and some other
states into camp and thereby frighten
Murphy into cheaper sale of the
New York votes.
If, for some unknown reason, New
York should adopt the strange course
of not making deal with the ad-
ministration, it would not change
the final result Ninety votes are
not enough to block the machine,
and all the rest are to be had for a
price that the dynasty now in office
at Washington can afford to pay and
will pay if it has to.
AS this dispatch goes off the au-
ditorium is filling for the session at
which the committee draft of the
democratic platform will be read.
We shall know within an hour what
the administration thinks it can get
by with in regards to the cost of liv-
ing. the right to strike, the League
of Nations, prohibition, Ireland and
Mexico.
If there is any row on the floor
it will be over the league and prohl-
bition fixed beyond hope OF altera-
ton, these two themes will serve ex'
cellently to distract public attention
