 sue in the Campaign, and is Against Soldier Bonus.

 The national platform was not men, toned directly by the president though he wrote that the Virginia Democrats had set forth the attitude of the party On the League of Nations and other important issues.
 The Knox peace resolution, vetoed by the president yesterday, also was condemned.
 In the field of finance, the Federal Reserve System was commended and the Republican Congress was con- demned for failure to revise wartime tax laws.
 The presidents letter follows:
 The White House, May 28, 1920:
 My Dear Senator Glass: Thank you for sending me the copy of the platform recently adopted by the Dem- ocrats of Virginia. Aside from the purely personal references, which oi course, deeply appreciate, let me say to you, my dear senator, that the sen- timents expressed in this notable docu- ment are in full accord with my own views, especially the statements which set forth the attituce of the party on the League of Nations and the press ing problems of peace, finance and reconstruction These are the clear cut, unequivocal principles of patriotic men who know how to serve their country and mankind. Surely this platform recites re- cord of achievement in which all Am ericans have just cause for pride and congratulation.
 Cordially and sincerely yours Woodrow Wilson"

Declares Failure to Ratify Was Result of Venting of
 Political Spleen

CHICAGO, March 25.TSpeaking to- night before the IroQuols Club, Dem ocratic organization on 'Good Faith in Government" Governor J. A. Cox of Ohio, Democratic candidate for presi- dent. said that defeat of the peace treaty was due to senate party conspir- acy.
 The governor also deprecated alleg- ed histeria over so-called Bolshevism and urged protection against running to any extreme. He advocated repeal of the excess tax profits law.
 Discussing the senate's failure to ratify the treaty, Governor Cox said: Upon that body will descend either condemnation or approval because 1t responsibility cannot easily be de nied fo1 the state of affairs world wide"
 Though charge and counter charge have been made, the governor said, it is easy to recall, the bad faith eX- hibited early in the argument. A dissenting group of senators violated every precedent maintained through out the years in an effort to vent per sonal and political spleen.

Board of Officers Meet to Investigate Dismissal
 On Sims Order

WASHINGTON, March D. Leigh c. Palmer who, as chief of the bureau Of navigation during the war, was re- sponsible for distribution of officers and men, said that shortage of per sOnnel was the American 'navy's mi tial handicap in the war"
 Appearing before the senate commit tee Investigating Rear Admiral Sims charges against the navy department, Captain Palmer said Secretary Daniels was responsible for the alleged short age because of his procrastination pri- or to the entry of this country into the war;
 Mir. Daniels consistently opposed the enlisting of a strong naval reserve force before the war, the former navy chief asserted, although naval officers had warned the secretary that after war was declared it would be too late to obtain and train the men necessary.
 The secretary, however, always iaV- ored and strongly supported recruiting for the regular navy and after wal was declared did everything p->51oIe to stimulate it, the witness said. He added that this, however. was very different from the policy Air. Daniels adopted toward the reserve force."'
 Illustrating what he declared was a refusal by Secretary Daniels to look forward to the navy's tremendous war time expansion, Captain Palmer cited the construction of barracks at the Great Lakes training station. After Secretary Daniels had failed to act or his recommendation, Captain Palmer said he ordered the barracks built or his own authority and then told con gress about it Later and even great CT expansion was found necessary al this station, he said.
 Captain Palmer said he could moi agree with MT. Daniels, primarily be cause the secretary could not set things from the view point of the nav al man.
 Captain Joseph K. Taussin and Real Admiral c. P Plunkett will testify to morrow.

Wootton. first of the 2O9 defendants in the Bisbee depor- tation cases to face the superior court on charse of kidnapping, today reached the stage where the defense was preparing to launch an ava lanche of evidence 10 back mp it's claims that the deportation of HOO alleged I. w. w. members and sym pathiZerS from Bisbee on July F, 1917, was necessary, while county at torney R. N. French declared that if the introduction of certain testimony concerning the l. w. w. was allowed by the court he felt that it would be useless for him to prosecute any fur ther.
 Court was in session only an hour this morning. The greater portion of this time was spent by Judge Pattee and attorneys for the state and de fense in discussing the admisSibtlity of evidence concerning the l. w. w.
 The argument between opposing counsel arose when Frank E. Curley, assistant chief counsel fo rthe de- fense. submitted to Judge Pattee. in court chambers, the statement with which the defense intended to open it's case before the jury MT. French vigorously objected to parts of the statement concerning the l. w. w, which he claimed had been barred by the ruling of the court yesterday.

French issued the following eX- planatiOn:
 ''I have made a special study of the case for more than twelve months, have turned over all the other busi ness in my office to my assistants I have borrowed money on my in ! dividual note to allow me to be pres ! ent at Chicago, Rockford, Spokane | Seattle and other places for the pur pose of objecting to the injection into l this case of tEe l. w. w. organization ! it's purposes and propaganda and ! naturally have made a specially oi 1 the admissibility of such evidence 1 having studied the same during al ! that time.
