Your Life Insurance

You insure your life for the
prOtectiOnn of your loved ones.
The same forethought should
also prompt you to surround
the proceeds with every safe
guard. Otherwise, the money
may be dissipated and your pur-
pose will not be fulfilled.
Many estates consist largely
of life insurance. The insur-
ance money comes into the
hands of the benefciaries at
time when they are least capa-
BILE of assuming new response
bilities. Also, they may be en-
tirely inexperienced in business
matters. Waste and sometimes
total loss of the money often is
the result.
You can forestall the mis-
takes of inexperience by arrang-
ing to have all or part of the
proceeds of your life insurance
placed in trust. Thus a perma-
nent income will be provided for
your benefciaries.
Ask for booklet, "The Equit-
able Trust Plan" for creating
and enlarging an estate, which
explains how your life insur'
ance can be safeguarded.

Mr.. Bryan threatened, 1t was sufficient
10 cause the committee, after being
all ready to make its report, to recon.
slider its decision and decide to hear
Mr.. Bryan at a further session while
the convention waited
Bitterly Attacks Administration
At this session, Mr.. Bryan. il is
said, continued his attack on the Ad.
ministration forces who pleaded with
him not to pursue a course which
would make for party discord and
endanger success in November. Mr.
Bryan, however, reports inside the
committee room said, was adamant
and the majority finally gave up all
hopes of conciliating him and decided
TO face the proposition Of an open
fight on the floor.
With those prospects before it, the
convention when it resumed today
faced the possibility Of program that
might carry it far into a night ses-
sion after probably brief recess
for dinner. Whether the floor bat.
ties could be ended in time to take
up balloting for a nominee before the
convention would have to quit from
sheer exhaustion was a question.
McAdoo's Lineup Stronger
The McAdoo boomers took advantage
Of the interruption in the program to
continue strengthening their lineup.
Although they had opposed suspen-
sion Of the rules and a proposition
to proceed to balloting ahead Of the
report of the platform COMMITTEES
early yesterday, they were ready -
accept that program last night, bu&
those who had agreed to the idea
cause the McAdoo forces had been
using the interim to strengthen their
position.
There We're intimations of the con-
vention being packed at last nights
session with an eye TO the possbili-
ties Of a stampede. Cox forces, while
sure Of their delegates standing firm,
acknowledged that they had not been
fortunate in making accessions, and
among the Palmer delegates the Nc
Adoo people were counting on addi-
tions to their candidate as second
choice. Tho McAdoo boomers were so
confident Of their position as to pre-
dict a nomination for him on the fifth
ballot, If not before.
Chairman Pugilist
Tie smouldering ticket scandal In
the convention broke out yesterday in
fist fight in which Chairman Robin
son had an encounter with Paul NJ.
Schwartz Of indianapolis. a stenogra-
pher to Thomas Taggart of Indiana.
When Senator Robinson, so the story
runs, called on Schwartz for his allot-
ment Of tickets, he was questioned
concerning his choice for the presi.
dental nominee and the senator re-
piled with his fists, and demand
for the discharge Of Schwartz by the
national committee from his place az

Ticket Scandal
Stories Of whole blocks of tickets

time in many years have American
lives and interest been so safe as they
are now"
To Recognize New Government
The new Mexican government should
be recognized when it had proved its
ability to maintain order, signified its
willingness to meet international obli-
cations and had given foreigners in
Mexico rights as well as duties" the
plank continued. 1t served notice,
however, that until that time, Mex.
leo must realize the propriety of a
policy that asserts the right of the
United States to demand full protec-
ton for its citizens"
Indictment Against Republicans
On one point throughout the plat
form committee men APPARENTLY were
III full accord. 1t sharply indicted the
Republican congress and the Republi-
can party on many counts, including
a warning Of well defined indica-
tions," Of an impending assault upon
vital principles" of the Federal Re-
serve System in the event of a Repub.
lican victory in November. The finan-
cial plank condemned the "pernicious
attempt of the Republican party TO
create discomfort among the holders Of
the bonds of the government" and to
drag our public finance and our bank
ing and currency system back into the
arena Of party politics"
Republican Corruption
Failure to enact sufficient revision
Iii
cowardice," also was charged against
the Republicans, congress having made
no move, 1t was asserted, toward a
readiustment of tax laws which 1t
denounced before the last election
and was afraid to revise by the next
election" Claims of Republican pub
lie economy We're branded as false
pretense"; but the attack on the Re-
publicans reached its climax in a
separate plank devoted to Republican
corruption"
Doodle in Repub Party
This section discussed the shocking
disclosure Of the lavish use Of money
"the candidates for the Republican
presidential nomination and the con-
viction of Republican senator from
Michigan charged with having vio-
lated campaign expenditures laws to
draw the inference that there is in
dicated "the re-entry, under repub
lican auspices, Of money as an influ-
entail factor in elections" and stern
popular rebuke" is invoked. The re-
publicans, the plank, adds, control the
senate only by virtue OF the Anchi
gan election mentioned.

Auditorium, July 2.--All set for the
battle of the vets and the drys the
democratic national convention as.
sembled this morning with everything
ready for battle royal The first
skirmish fight was set to come on
the submission of a wet plank by
James r. Nugent of New Jersey and a
dry plank by William ]. Bryan. There
was little prospect Of balloting for a
nominee before tonight, if then.
The music kept up but the crowd
manifestly was fast losing interest
in it, and kept up a rumble of specu-
lation about the coming fight.
Interest centered in the back stage
conference Of leaders was a suggestion
that all debate on the platform be
limited to three hours and that ballot
ing for a presidential candidate should
follow its conclusion. There was some
objection, however. and the consul
tations continued without immediate
fruit.
Lets Go. Let's Coz
At 1927 o'clock Chairman Robinson
Mr.. Glass and Mr.. Bryan appeared
together on the platform and there
was a scattered patter of applause.
Some cheers for Bryan followed from
corners Of the galleries and there were
demands that the convention get un-
der way.
Let's so, let's 60" the crowd yelled.
The band quieted it by striking up
over There"
Apparently the plan of procedure
had not yet been completed and Sena-
tor Robinson and the others on the
platform gathered in a little circle
and put their heads together while
the impatience of the delegates gath-
cred in the hail broke out again in loua
demands for action.
At 1895 Senator Robinson pounded
for order and the hall quieted dcwn
very quickly

Grape Juice or Suds

Midnight efforts to compose the diff
ferences over the wet and dry issue IN
the platform committee failed after
prolonged hours OF argument, acri-
mony and oratory. When all the
eleventh hour attempts at harmony
were given up, it was announced fin
ally that all proposals to include any
KIND of prohibition plank, whatever
had beaten by decisive votes, and that
the question would be brought to the
open floor of the convention.
To Chop Williams Periods
Last nights disappointed crown
which had packed the great civic au.
ditorium from floor to rafters, keen
on the spectacle OF William j. Bryan
setting off the fireworks, traied 10
the convention hall again determined
not to be cheated out of the show
by postponements or delays. Under
the program agreed upo- Nj. Bryan
will present his side Of the question
in a speech limited to 80 minues.
and cambridge Colby, secretary OF
state, will present the committee maa.
ayers side in another 80 minutes.
The argument, however, does not by
any means confine the discussion to
one hour. A number of persons de-
string to speak who may be presented
by Permanent Chairman Robinson, also
may be heard for 80 minutes each.
Bryan TO Rule or Ruin
In view of Mr., Bryan's well.known
fighting spirit and his demonstrated
staying qualities, no one is bold
enough to predict that the fight will
be a short one. Bryans repeatedly
announced determination for "a plat.
form no wet can run on" and his
announcements of last night assured
a prolonged struggle, and even though
the predictions Of the administration
forces that they would be able to
CHOKE Bryan off," were IL be ful-
filled there was no prospect that they
would be carried out quickly.

Reading the Platform

Senator Glass began reading at the
rate of Sc words n minute. The plat.
form exceeds 5000 words. Without
interruptions for applause of specially
appreciated passages. the reading
would continue an hour and forty
minues. The advance estimate OF
time to be required for the actual pre-
sentation Of the committees major
ity report was something fore than
two hours.
When the direct declaration for
ratification Of the treaty was reached
in the reading there was another dem
ons,ration, about half the delegates
again getting to their feet and cheer
ing the words of the platform.
When he finished the league plank,
Senator Glass departed from his manu-
script to say:
80 much for the league Of nations,
and my voice, / regret to say, is i'm
paired from fighting for that declara-
ton"
The remark was answered by ap-
plause from some Of the delegates and
spectators.

San Francisco, July 2.-Announce-
ment that the platform was ready TO
make its report caused delegates to
the democratic national convention to
look forward to a long, hard grind
with real action when they assembled
for the fifth days session today. In
anticipation of a lively time on the
floor over issues hotly contested in
the resolutions committee, crowds came
early to the great auditorium and
were prepared for a long stay.
Convention rules provided for the
immediate consideration of the party's
declaration on principles submitted by
the platform committee when the dele.
gates were called to order. The docu-
ment was completed last night and
Senator Carter Glass Of Virginia,
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee refreshed after a good nights
sleep following his long siege in com
mittee. was ready to defend the report.
Bryan Eager to Fight
William J. Bryan, the storm center
in thel committee room and around
whom tempest was expected to rage
on the convention floor, was eager to
fight some of the planks in the plat
form and also press for the insertion
Of some that the committee rejected.
The Nebraspan, who left the commit
the room last night, with q smile on
his face after his bone dry resolu-
ton had been defeated, was still de-
termined to urge the adoption of his
prohibition plank with all the vigor
that is in him.
Leaders in the convention said they
looked for a long debate despite the
fact that speakers are limited to 30'
minutes each in discussing planks.
Hundreds of delegates, however. have
become impatient with the delay the
platform has already occasioned and
many of them are ready to support
any move that will still further short
en- discussion Of the resolutions com.
mittee report. They fear deadlock
in the balloting and do not want the
convention TO run beyond tomorrow.
BallOting to Begin
Voting for a presidential nominee
will begin Immediately after the plat
form is adopted unless Il recess inter
venos to permit the delegates to re-
fresh themselves. There is talk Of
taking one or two ballots so as to
get the lineup OF the delegates and
then take recess in order to allow
the various managers of candidates
time to plan for the final drive.

AUDITORIUM, July 2.-The battle
of the vets and drys got under
way in the democratic national
convention this afternoon, when,
after the platform had been read
without making mention Of pro-
hibition plank, and VIM. }. Bryan,
was recognized TO offer a bone dry
plank as minority report.
