1t is the work of men concerned
more with material things than with
human rights. 1t contains no thought,
no purpose which can give impulse
or thrill to those who love liberty
and hope to make the world a safer
and happier place for the average
man.
THE Democratic party is an unen-
tangled party-a free party-oWing
no allegiance to any class or group
or special interest. We were able TO
take up and carry through to success
the great progressive program out
lined in our platform of 1872. Dur
ing the months which interviewed be-
tween March 4, 1913, and the out
break of the world war, we placed
upon the statute books of our coun-
try more effective, constructive and
remedial legislation than the Repub-
lican party had placed there in
generation.
1.-THE income tax was made a per-
manent part of the revenue prouuc-
ing agencies of the country, thereby
relieving our law of the reproach of
being unjustly burdensome to the
poor The eXtravagances and in
equities of the tariff system We're
removed; and a non-part1san tar1H
commission was established so that
future revisions might be made. in

the international waters came back
to us many fold. The great reaches
of Alaska were opened up TO CON-
diplomacy was destroyed. A corrupt
lobby was driven from the national
capitol. An effective seaman's act
was adopted. The federal trade com
mission was created. Child labor
legislation was enacted. The parcel
post and the rural free delivery were
developed. A good roads Dill ana
rural credits act were passed. A sec
retarv of labor was given seat IN
the cabinet of the president ElSnt-
hour laws were adopted: The cray
ton amendment to the Sherman anti
trust act was passed, freeing Ameri-
can labor and taking 1t from the
category of commodities. The Smith

agricultural conditions was enacted.
A corrupt practice act was adopted.
A well-considered warehouse act was

banks, postal savings banks and the
federal reserve system were es-

- THESE enactments, ana many oln-

ter, had a cleansing ana qulckehlls
effect upon the economic life Of our
country. The farmer was freed from
the deadening effects of usurlous
financial control Labor was given it's
Magma Charta of liberty. Business
and finance were released from the
thraldom of uncertainty and hazard.
The economic life of America was
refreshed by the vitalizing breath OF

SAN FRANCISCO.-Arthur J. Ell
Ter, who fought in France, filed suit
in the superior court for divorce from
a woman he says is his wife's twin
sister. VI
His complaint states he married
Mrs. Nellie Lenehan Eller in Liver
pool, England, April 10, 1919, and
three weeks later sailed for home on
a troopship, expecting to send for
her.
Last August Eller was hurt IN an
accident and went to hospital for
six months. His supposed bride ar
rived from Liverpool in September
and made her home for about a
month, he says, with his parents at
424 Cole street.
Then Eller says she became infat-
uated with his friend. Charles Qua
casco, and together they came to the
hospital and told Eller they were
going to get married. that Mrs. Eller
wasn't really his wife at ALL, but his
sister-in-law.
The twin he had married died, he
was told, and the woman he believed
to be his wife showed to him a pic
ture of the twin sisters together and
defied him to pick out the one he had
married. Later she and Guacasco
ran away to New Orleans and arc

"The Republican party was unsuc-
cessful in the elections of 1912 be-
cause it had persistently served spe-
the spirit of the time. Those who
controlled its destiny derived their
political inspiration from "the good
old days of Mark Hanna" and neither
to recognize a new day when it had
dawned. To each pressing problem,
they. sought merely to reappIy the
processes of antiquity
There were elements in the Re-
publican party which were intoIerant

to gain party control in 1912 and
again in 1915. They renewed the
hopeless struggle at the convention

Despite these efforts, the leaders
who have manipulated the party

The Republican platform, reac-

apotheosis of political expediency.
Filled with premeditated ISLANDERS
and vague promises, it will be search

PALMER N|EN WIN
FIRST SK|RM|SHI|V
GEORGIA CONTEST
ny ROGERS WINTER

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-By
unanimous vote in executive session
the Democratic national committee
this afternoon seated the Palmer
delegation from Georgia on the tenn
tional convention.
The action of the committee was
not a surprise TO the members of the
regular Georgia delegation elected by
the state convention. They quite ex-
pected that Editor Clark Howell
would win his fight before the ma
tional committee. He has been a
member CT the committee for twen-
ty-f1ve years, making him it's oldest
member in point of service, and is
immensely popular with his col
leagues, most of whom address him
by his first name. He has been in
San Francisco for nearly a week in
behalf OF the Palmer delegation.
1t was not surprising, therefore,
that on a personal issue between him
and a delegation of strangers I'M
known to the national committee,
the decision should go in his favor
The seating or unseatlng of the reg
ular delegation involves his continu-
ance on the national committee, ana
so long as that issue is left in the
hands of his colleagues, they will
keep him where he is.
Assured Minority Report
The principal fight involved in
the Georgia contest will come be.
fore the credentials committee,
which will not be made up of old
Howell. but will represent practical
ly all shades of political opinion in
the convention. 1t is expected that
the credentials committee will hear
contests on Monday afternoon. The
regular Georgia delegates will prob
case than they did today, when only
thirty minutes were allowed to each
side.
In the event Of an adverse decision
by the credentials committee, the
regular delegates have assurances
which will take the fight to the
floor of the convention, and when
it gets there for an ultimate de-
cision some of the biggest oratorical
guns of the Democratic party are
not not unlikely hdkely to be numbered in
The action of the national com.
mittee on the Georgia contest was
taken at two o'clock Saturday after
noon by San Francisco time, which
is the same as four o'clock by At
lanta time. 1t came at the close of
lengthy hearing of the Georgia
contest and the Missouri contest in
volving the credentials of Senator
James A. Reed. At the outset of the
hearing the committee had voted to
go into executive session when the
arguments were finished, but be-
fore going into executive session
there was an effort by Committee
man E. H Moore, of Ohio who led
the fight yesterday for the regular
delegates to get them a hearing be-
fore the whole committee to recon
slider the previous action and have
the contests decided in open session
This motion was lost by a vote oil
thirty-three to fourteen. The vote
of the committee on the Georgia
contest was taken in less than ten
minutes after going into executive
session

Judge Who Sentenced
NJ cNamara Will
Make Intercession

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 26.-Judge
J. E. Richards, who sentenced AL
len J. Mcnamara to death after his
conviction in criminal court here on
charge of criminal assaults
which sentence was affirmed today
by the Tennessee supreme court. an
nounced that he would intercede with
Governor Roberts to have the penalty
committed to life Imprisonment.
Judge Richards said he had de-
cided to ask clemency for the youth
because of conflicting statements
made by the young woman, now the
wife of McNamara's brother. who ap-
peared as prosecuting witness.
Mcnamara was found guilty after
a trial last October which continued
seventeen days and aroused more in
tense public interest than any SINH
lar court hearing in years. A few
days after his conviction the young
woman he was alleged to have at
tackled was married to his brother.

add or detract from the fame that
will flow down the unending chan

pay their tribute of honor to the man

The Requirements of Honor
There are men who seem to be
annoyed when we suggest that Amer

test, and that good faith requires
that we should enter the League of

may, with honor, do as we please
about this matter and that we have
made no promises which it is our
duty to redeem. Let us turn again
to the record.
1.-The Republican party in it's plat
form in 1916 had declared for a world
court, for the pacific settlement Of
international disputes" The Pro-

"On December IS, 1916, the presi-
dent addressed an identic note to the
nations at warfi requesting them to
state terms upon which they would
deem it possible to make peace. In
this note, he proposed the creation Of
a League of Nations, saying:
In the measures to be taken TO
secure the future peace Of the world,
the people and government OF the

and even eager to cooperate in the

America entered the war.

powers answered evasively, but the
allies, in their reply dated at Paris.

BIG SLUSH FUND
TO FIGHT LABOR,
SAYS MORRISON
100000 in Pool to Under
mine Unions, A. F. of l..
q. Secretary Declares.
BY Universal Service.

Washington, July Unpublished d
reports that a huge fund is being
raised by. big business interests to
combat union labor, under the guise
of maintaining the open shop, were
corroborated today by Frank Nor
rison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Morrison asserted that the
fund already amounted to $5,000,-
600 and would be greatly increased.
The real purpose OF this fund, he
declared, was to break the power of
organized labor. In formal state
ment, he said:
Such tactics are not new. Among
certain large employing interests
there is a stronger opposition to Or
ganized labor since the time the
late David |. Parry was president
of the National Manufa cturers as
sociation and the late Charles Post,
head of the citizens alliance.
While these movements are dis
credited their anti-trade union pur-
pose survives. The so-called open
shop has been supplanted especially
in the west and middle-west by the
American plan the same thing with
new name. In both the theory OF
individual bargaining is stressed"
Mr.. Morrison said that the fund
was chiefly contributed by seven
large industrial interests and evil
dence of their activities is in the
hands of the American Federation
