touch once more the hidden springs
of the spirit and reveal us to our

Let the true purpose of our party
be clearly understood. We stand
squarely for the same ideals of peace
as those for which the war was
fought. We support without finch
ing the only feasible plan for peace
and justice. We will not submit to
the reputation of the peace treaty
or to any process by which ut is
whitted down to vanishing point.
We decline to compromise our prin-
ciples or pawn our immortal souls
for selfish purposes. We do not turn
our backs upon the history of the
last three years. We seek no ave
ward course is the only righteous
course.

it to it's rightful place among the ma
lions of the earth. Our cause con-
stitutes summons to duty. The
heart of America stirs again. The
ancient faith revives. The immortal
part of man speaks for us. The serv-

stitute a spiritual force gathering
about our banners. We shall release

else. The McAdoo and. Palmer men
are very friendly, so far as their
feeling for President Wilson is con-
cerned. 1t is about the only point
IN common which they have, but
enough to keep Brother Bryan and
others from throwing the convention
into the hands of anti-administration
elements.
The Wilson forces solidified their
ranks when they agreed to eliminate
cambridge Colby as permanent chair
man and accepted Senator Joseph
Robinson, of Arkansas. The latter.
by the way, did not vote for the
Lodge reservations but stood by the
president throughout the treaty fight.
Colby was too new Democrat to
get. the important job of permanent
chairman, though the Wilson leaders
who suggested it thought it was a
good way to catch the eye Of such
Progress1Ves as may have been dis
appointed at the Republican national
convention at Chicago.
There is, however, a noticeable I'M
dercurrent here to go back to the
good, old-fashioned Democracy"
which is analogous to the conspicu-
Gus tendency in Chicago to return to
good old Republicanism" This prob
ably will yield a liberal platform, but
only after a hard fight, because the
conservatives are significantly nu-
merouS.
Chances for Cox Good
Whether 1t was the war, or reac-
ton against experiments in kgovern-
ment measures and proposals, there
are reactioniaries here as there were
IN Chicago, and they will make theip

Continued from Page 0ne.)
It seemed foregone conclu

1t seemed foregOne conclusion
that the question would be settled
only after a stubborn fight on the
floor, bringing into play the best
oratorical and strategical fireworks
of typical Democratic convention.
The League of Nations and the Irish
question also threatened to get out
of control of the resolutions COM
mittee and shower the convention
floor with pyrotechnics. There were
many expressions of hope, however,
that both might be threshed out to
satisfactory conclusion behind the
committee doors.
In the organization of the resolu-
tions committee itself fight was
brewing, though it was not apparent
how serious it had become. Sena-
tor Glass, of Virginia, chosen by
the administration as its candidate
clared by his friends to be certain
of election, though movement
against him had been started by
western delegates.
The candidate of the anti-G1ass
element was Senator Walsh, of Mon
with the Republican reservations.
Those favoring him declared their
fight was not an anti-administration
movement, and was based primarily
on the belief that the northwest had
not been accorded proper recognition
in the convention. No one from that
section, they declared, was on the
slate of convention officials or was
prominently mentioned for either the
presidency Or the vice presidency.
Election of the resolutions commit
tee chairman was expected late in
the day, and at the same time the
newly-formed credentials committee
was to take up the Georgia and Mis-
souri, contests while the rules COM
mittee was determining on a list of
ton. Senator Robinson, of Arkan-
sas, had been selected by the admin
1stration group for the permanent
chairmanship, and his Endorsement by
the committee seemed assured
Bryan Saying Little
Contrary to the expectations Of
Bryan was having little eS to sag ssAa abont
the permanent organization of the
convention and it's committees Busy
with his fight to put dry plank into
the platform, he apparently was in
terposing no active opposition to the
administration organization program,
though he was credited with lending
encouragement to the candidacy Of
Senator Ser Walsh for the resolutions
AS in more than one previous ma
t1onal convention, Mr.. Bryan was
looked upon as an unknown quantity
which might turn out to be the de-
Gliding factor in almost any of the
political equations now confronting
the party leaders. No, one professed
to know what new and unexpected
element he might bring into play at
the critical time.
j. Bruce Kremer, of Montana, vice
chairman of the national committee
had been selected to call today's ses-
sion to order and to present Chair
man Cummings. At the conclusion
OF the keynote address of Mr.. Cum
mings, all that remained to complete
the days program was to approve

COTTON
BY BUD FISHER

NEW YORK, June 26-There were
rallies in the cotton market today
which brokers attributed largely to
covering for over the weekend after
recent more or less general selling.
4 October contracts sold up to 1881, or
Is points above the closing price OF
yesterday and As points above the
low level of yesterday afternoon
That delivery closed at 1898 with
the general list of closing net I'M
changed to Ii points higher July
was relatively firm on covering ana
buying by trade interests.
THE market opened steady at a de-
slime of 6 to II points owing to 1aNor-
able weather reports and continued
unfavorable trade advlces. The Iat-
fer included Manchester cables re-
Isortins that stagnation of tE2de was
sven more pronounced during the
.past week, with more buyers wanting
10 cancel orders and with manu1ac-
ti1rers' engagements running down
rather rapidly. The small business
report in domestic goods markets
also was a factor, but the hrmef
fechnical position of the market as
serted itself, and after showing de-
Wines of about 10 to 20 points the
market turned steadler.
July was relatively hrm, a TACT
which had a sympathetic influence on
t4ne later months, but there was sun
d good deal of bearish talk around
the ring and the rally to S2.o2 for
December, or about 20 points above
last nights closing quotation, met ct
scattered offerings. The advance IN
July was we'll maintained, but later
months showed closing reactions OF
some 10 to II points. A New Or
1sans authority places the condition
of the crop at 70, compared with
SIS last year, the figure being nearly
enough in line with reports published
earlier in the week to create no
fresh sentiment. The amount OF cot
