IRISH ROW BREWING

The convention went into the night session with a row on the floor brewing over the attempt of Irish sympathizers among delegates to force into the plat form a plank declaring for recognition of the Irish Republic.
 In a caucus of the pro-Irish faction ists, held in a room next to the resolu- tions committee room, plans to carry the drive to the floor were made after caucus rltimatum had been ignored by tne committee, which voted not to hear
 Frank r. W alsh of Kansas City in fur ther presentation of the case of the Irish Republic.
 There was some question as to how convention rules would affect the pro- posed attempt to plunge the convention itself into the Irish fight. As member of the resolutions committee. Senator
 Walsh of Massachusetts. spokesman for the caucus during the day, could bring in minority report, which would let down the bars for the struggle. it was said Chairman Fitzgerald of Proyi- dence. R. l.. heading the executive com mittee created by the caucus. said it would be possible to move an amend ment to the committee report, however. should other parliamentary means to preeipitate general debate be lacking. The caucus demanded action on the recognition plank. It voted not to con- siderN a platform approach to the Irish question from any other angle.

.
 It may be stated as fact that or succeeding ballots the McAddo strength will grow. The delegation agreed to postpone consideration of it's plans re- specting Senator Underwood until such time as the convention became dead locked to the extent that a dark horse" might be able to "gallop in"
 The caucus of the delegation today brought out spirited speeches respect ing the availability of Underwood by C.. W. Taylor of DemopoIis and M NJ Solly of Ozark. After declaring that the Alabama senator was "great democrat. one among the few great democrats, Mir. Soily proceeded to charge him with partial reaction. Mr Taylor. who loves Underwood as a democrat" but who opposes him on ac- count of his attitude respecting pro- hibition. said:
 Underwood, with whom I served ir Congress for many years, is a leader of men. lie was the first democrat in many years to lead in the direction of victory. Joe Bailey, with his power full intellect failed. Richardson of Ten nessee and John Sharp Williams oi Mississippi couldn't handle the demo
 
 them solid, enthusiastic phalanx and they proceeded with that legislation which resulted in the election 0. Woodrow Wilson.
 Underwood is man of real ability and character. He thinks for himsei and is capable of filling any position but I do not think that he can be nominated"
 MT. Taylor stated that he voted for Underwood over Richmond Pearson Hobson and that when he informed the hero of the Merrimac that he would so vote, "Hobson came very near weeping, and his wife did weep.' In the last cam paign MT. Taylor stated that he did not support MT. Underwood. He did not say for whom he did vote. The friends of Senator Underwood on the delegation are aware that ar injection of his name into the con. troversy is not desired-by him. For that same reason, they will not vote for him in convention prior tf a deadlock. Nevertheless. MT. Smith ol Selma will cast his first ballot for the senator

IA REGUL ARS AND
 MANY DARK HORSES BEFORE CONVENTION
Brief Morning Session Held When Adjournment Is Taken in Hope That Platform Would
 Be Completed
By Associated Press

San Francisco, July Lone brief session today brought the democratic national convention to the end of the tedious busi- ness of hearing nominating speeches.
 With John w. Davis ambassador to Great Britain, Senator Glass of vir- lima and Francis Burton Harrison, governor general of the Philippines, added to the list of those formally pre- scented, the convention al the end of its mid day session found itself run out of business
 The resolutions committee framing the platform was not ready to report and sent word it would not be ready before 5 o'clock tonight
 On motion of Wilbur w. Marsh, a dele gate from Iowa and treasurer of the na- tional committee, an attempt was made to suspend the rules, which required the platform to be adopted prior to balloting, and go ahead with the voting for a nominee.
 Such suspension of the rules required a two-thirds vote of the delegates and II was quickly apparent from the shouts ot dlsapproval coming from all corners ot the hall that the prevailing wish was to dispose of the platform before proceed- ing to ballotng.
 MT. Marsh, therefore, withdrew his mo- tion and the convention recessed until $ 0 clock while the platform committee

FOURTEEN IN FIELD

When 1t disposes of the platform, With the inevitable contests over prohibition. the League of Nations and the Irish question and goes on with the business of balloting, the convention will have be- fore it a field of fourteen candidates headed by a big three''-M McAdoo, Cox and Palmer-a scattering of lesser lights and including q paddock of dark horses nearby.
 Unless some of the expected platform fights petered out, there seemed ntfie prospect of the convention getting to the business of nominating candidate at the night session, unless it proposed to remain at work until daylight. The movement to perfect a combination against McAdoo still was going on Whea the convention went into the night Ses- sion. but consideration of the candidates was still cbscured in some measure oy the piatfoi m fight and the question or whether William J. Bryan was going to win or lose on his prohibition plank.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-02

While the convention marked time down in the big hall, tucked away in one corner of the big building the plat form committee continued it's effort to harmonize it's report. After practically closing up the question once, the com : mittee decided to give William Jen- nirgs Bryan another opportunity to prt tent prohibition plank.
 Apparently MT. Bryan made such headway with his arguments that
 the committee, which it was once
 thought would soon make its report
 with majority determined to leave
 the prohibition issue out of the
 document, found itself unable to
 make report at all.
 Permanent Chairman Robinson had a conference with Senator Glass of the resolutions coinmittee and it was finally announced that there was little pros poets of the committee being ready to make its report before tomorrow morn

NAMES OF S[ACKERS WILL BE PUBLISHED BY GOVERNMENT
Harding Already Embar- rassed By League Atti- ,tude-Gorgas' Remains
 Arrive Tomorrow
By HUGH w. ROBERTS
 Washington Bureau The Age- Herald 50l b lauidsnn RniIdi


 Washington, August e.-<special)-- The War Department is preparing to arrest about 100000 men throughout the United States on charges of hav- ing evaded the war drafts
 It is a gigantic task, and the indi- cations are that while fair percentage will be brought to justice. the great bulk will escape. The war depart ment, on account of the obvious diff faculties involved, is already hedging on its original plans. For instance. it has withdrawn it's offer of $50 for the arrest of each of the so-called slackers. The great list has not as yet been published. In order to avoid doing an injustice to any man, the department has issued notice that the list will soon be given to the public, and that any man who thinks that, through any circumstance, his name might be included, and unjustly included, should call at the department and ascertain the facts. The department intimates that in some cases it is quite possi- ble that Zines of men who did actual service are included
 The department for the capture of the vast army of slackers is proceed ing on the theory that the men, when made known, will be held in such con- tempt that any acquaintance swill feel in duty bound to make their addresses

work on and to present to the cits Commission.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-08-10

known, and thus make their arrests certain. As to whether or not this plan will work out in practice remains to be seen.
 It is said that in a general sense the alleged slackers are well propor- toned among the several states of the union, and that no section has mo- nopoly on the possession of the un- faithful. It is said to be true, how ever, that the majority of those whose names are in possession of the depart ment are apparently of foreign birth. Tn each case formal court-martial will sit, and the hearings, if the entire list of slackers is presented, will be extended throughout many months, it is indicated.
 But to do justice to those who served. the department feels that it should leave nothing undone in efforts to bring to justice those who refused. through fear or indifference to the issue al stake. to heed the call to arms.

in the open against the league in any form. and done this with the approval of Senator Penrose and even Senator Lodge, the mass of republicans see the insincerity and hypocrisy in the repub- lican senators attitude.
 It is said that a great percentage of the letters received by Governor Cox from republicans arc written by preachers~and others holding an ab- solute horror of war and willing to take any reasonable step to proven. other hostility in any country of the world.
