WAR CRY
(By Tho Associat ted Press.)

San Francisco, June 2S-The League
of Nations covenant was champiOned
as the Monroe Doctrine of the world
by Homer Cummings, temporary chair
man of the Democratic national con-
vention, in his keynote address here to-
day.
OF the peace treaty's defeat In the
senate, he said: ''No blacker crime
against civilization has ever soiled the
pages of our history"
He characterized the Republican,
platform as "reactionary and provin-
.cial." ''Fillcd with premeditated
ISLANDERS and vague promises, it will be
searched in vain for one constructive
suggestion for the reformation Of the
conditions which it criticizes and de-
plores," he continued.
"The oppressed peoples of the earth
will look to it in vain. 1t contains no
message of hope for Ireland; no word
of mercy for Armenia; and it con-
ccals sword for Mexico. 1t is the
work of men concerned more with ma
terial things than with human rights.

Decorations of the convention hall
were simple and tasteful, with the
stars and stripes as the dominant fea
ture of the beautiful display.
The seats of the 1882 delegates were
assembled close to the platform and
stretched almost across the width of the
hall. Here and there stood the state
standards made of California red
wood, showing the locations of the del
egations. Directly behind were the
seats Of the alternates and all about
them in an almost perfect circle were
places for more than 10000 other per-
sons.

An innovation at the opening Of the
was the silencing Of the
gathering by bugle call instead Of by
the gavel. AS the bugle notes came
to an end and the conversation on the
floor ceased, detachment of marines
standing in front of the platform
raised the national cOlors and present
ed arms as the band, high up behind
the chairman, played the star
Spangled Banner" The formal call to
order by Vice Chairman j. Bruce
Kremer followed.
With the perliminaries over, the four
big convention committees will prompt

mittee on resolutions where the party
issues will be fought out with good

the convention floor for final decision.
Draft Several League Planks.
San Francisco, June 2S-Several
league of nations planks conflicting
more or less violently with administra
ton views were perfected today for
to the democratic resOlu-
tions committee when it begins its de.
The volunteer proposals were almost
as numerous and varied as were pro
posed reservations to the peace treaty
when the drive for a senate comprO
mise was at its height. Three or four
of them, however, stood out because
Of their authorship as forecasting the
principles around which the conven-
ton fight will center.
One prepared by Senator Walsh, of
would omit any declar
alton for ratification of the treaty In
any form, but would declare faith in II
league Of nations along defined lines
according with American interests.
Another said to have the backing of
a number of senators who first sup
ported the president but in the end
turned to the republican program
would declare for ratification with
reservations Interpreting the meaning of
the league covenant and protecting
American interests.
Still third suggestion which came
from supporters Of William J. Bryan
would put the party on record as favor
ing ratification with whatever rcserva
tiOns it was necessary to cOnccde.
All of these proposals were unsatis-
factory to administration leaders be-
cause they approached the subject with
the assumption that reservations are
inevitable. The Virginia plank endors-
cd by the president puts the case the
other way by declaring for ratification
without reservations destructive of the
vital purposes Of the covenant.

Hear Cummings.

The big fight over prohibition and
the fights over the League OF Ma
tions and the Irish question were laid
aside but not forgotten while the party
chiefs and the delegates met in the
auditorium to hear National Chairman
Cummings sound the keynote to which
they hoped to hear the country re-
spond.
More than 1000 delegates and more
than 10000 alternates and spectators
iammed in the big convention hall for
the spectacle Of a great national con-
yention getting under way.
Assemble at Noon.
San Francisco, Calf, June 2S. As
.ssembiins at noon today for their first
session, delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention heard key note
speech by Nationa Chairman Cum
mings and perfected preliminaries,
clearing the way for the real work of
finding presidential candidate.
Field Marshal for McAdoO.
The McAdoo boomers at meeting
early this morning selected floor mana
gers from many state delegations aud
field marshal for their whole group
whose names were to be announced
later.
The attitude of the Cox managers
toward publication here on the eve OF
the convention of the governors
divorce of ten years ago was to ignore
it entirely.
Assurance of election of Senator
Robertson as permanent chairman was
indicated today when w. J. Bryan met
him at breakfast and extended con
gratulations stating that he was glad
the Arkansas senator's choice was to
be .unanimOus."
Presidential Candidates.
In the meantime managers of the
presidential bOoms were keeping IN
touch with the delegates and working
for positions in early balloting.
The latest turn in the McAdoO boom
furnished a new angle to the conven-
ton preliminarics, but its precise af-
feet on the relative leads of candidates
was not yet clear. Announcement that
the former secretary OF the treasury,
dispitc his declaration that he did not
want the nomination, would be willing
to accept it, was variously accepted by
the several elements in the fight
BY some it was declared the devel-
opment meant that McAdOO, whose
supporters hitherto had planned to
keep in the background for several
ballots, now would he an active con-
tender from the start and that in con-
sequence the convention, like that of
the Republicans in Chicago, would have
n big three running close together on
opening roll call.
Meredith for Vice President?
There are frequent mentions of Sec
retary Meredith Of the agricultural
department as possible running mate
for McAdoe.
Mr.. Meredith's presidential campaign
headquarters closed Saturday when he
announced he was not a candidate.
Discussion of candidates maifestly
still was subordinate in the minds OF
many of the delegates to the prohibi-
ton issue.

element of popularity in his
make up. He is young. person.
ally affable, man of strong

and with two terms of Govern
or of Ohio to fit him for eXecu-

He is an eloquent and attrac-

pecially appeal to the senti-
ment of Kentucky democrats,
during the heated campaigns
of recent years he has always
made il convenient 10 come to

nominees and has done telling
service.
We don't take any stock i'm
the plea for an uninstructed
delegation from this state when
the Democracy of the Common

should the unanimous opinion
