The progress SO far of the demo-
cratic convention is indicative Of q
course Of action that augurs well for
success at the polls, The keynote
speech of Homer $. Cummings was a
ringing appeal TO the conscience and
idealism Of the nation, and contrastcd
with that Of Henry Cabot Lodge as
the clarion tones Of trumpet to the
feeble squeak Of toy whistle. Tho
prospects are that strong League
Of Nations plank. calling for inter
pretative reservations only, will be
adopted; that the prohibition ques'
tion will be ignored; that the Irish
question will be considered proper
one for the league council rather
than a democratic convention; that u
sensible labor plank will be agreed
upon and that McAdoo will be NOM
mated. In such event the defnocrat-
ic party-despite the fact that il is
still the minority party--will have n
more than favorable chance for tri-
umph in November.
