HAYS REPUBLICANS
FOR TREATY DEFEAT
CUMMINGS SAYS NO eLAckER
CRIME EVER eoIlEo PAGES
OF OUR HISTORY.
Democrats In National convention
Hear Praises For Party and Lead
ers and Rebuke OF Critics
Of Administration.

San Francisco.-Homer s. Cum
mings, temporary chairman of the
national Democratic convention, de-
livered the keynote speech at the open
ing session. The high spots in the ad-
dress follow:
"The league of nations covenant Is
the Monroe doctrine of the world"
mo blacker crime (the defeat Of
the treaty. against civilization has
ever soiled the pages of our history"
Revolutionary Mexico, Bolshevist
Russia, the unspeakable Turk and the
United States are the only nations
standing outside Of the league of ma.
tiOns."
I'VE will not submit to the repudia-
ton of the peace treaty or to any pro-
cess by which it is whitfield down to
the vanishing point"
THE Republican platform is filled
with premeditated ISLANDERS and vague
promises and it will be searched in
vain for one constructive suggestion
for the reformation of conditions
which it criticizes and deplores."
"The Republican platform contains
no message of hope for Ireland; no
word OF mercy for Armenia, and con-
ceals sword for Mexico"
"We fought great war, for a great
cause and We had leadership that
carried America to greater heights Of
honor and power and glory than she
has ever known before in her entire
history"
IF the Republican leaders are not
able to rejoice with us in this Ameri-
can triumph, they should have the
grace to remain silent, for it does not
lie in the mouths Of those who con-
Quoted the Spanish-American war to
indulge in the luxury of criticism"
"The Republican party became so
fixed in the incOrrigible habit Of con-
Quoting investigations that it finally
turned to the fruitful task of investi-
eating ITSELF"
Revelations disclose that the con.
ventiOn at Chicago was not a cOnven-
tAOAA Out Oh ouNNiOhs 4AC uiSHCSt
bidder, however, did not get the prize"
"Peace achievements of the Demo-
cratic party freed the farmer from
the deadening effects of usurious
financial control; labor was given the
Magma Charta of liberty; business and
finance were released from the thrall-
dom of uncertainty and hazard.
"The federal reserve system, passed
over the opposition Of the Republican
party, enabled America to withstand
the strain of war without shock or
panic and ultimately made our nation
the greatest creditor nation in the
world"
president Wilson's two appeals be-
fore congress for legislation dealing
with profiteering, reduction of taxes,
aid for soldiers and laws to improve
relations of capital and labor were
ignored"

New York.-A cable from n special
correspondent at Paris OF New York
newspaper declares that week.
searching inquiry has revealed the fact
that not single member of the French
diplomatic corps is able 10 deny that
there are thorough-going plans afoot
for moratorium" Of the allied debts
owed to the United States.
Needless to say, extreme re.
ticence Is being observed I'm official
quarters here toward all efforts to OBJ
tain flat confirmation of the plan.
Its promoters. 1t is believed. prefer to
launch II as a bombshell at the forth
coming interallied conference at Brus-
sells.
Allies Unable to Pay.
The United States will only be un.
officially represented at that con
ference. While 1t Is not believed that
actual reputation of the entire total
Of s10.OOO,0OOOOO owed the United
States is contemplated ut present, II is
learned from the highest sources that
the interallied economic commission
now In session IL devising plan
under which 1t Is intended to urge
the Brussels conference to inform the
United States In the plalnest possible
language that the allies are unable TO
pay the American loan when 1t is
due, In October, and to request" the
Washington government to renew the
issue, probably for two years. BY that
time, 1t is hoped sufficient funds will
have been collected from Germany by
way Of reparation installments to set
tie the debt to America.
Passive Resistance Planned.
Should the United States again re-
fuse to listen to such proposal, 1t is
understood the allies will adopt a
policy of passive resistance" simply
taking their own time in repaying
whatever they owe America. In diplo.
matte circles the theory Is advanced
however. that the United States will
be obliged to accept the proposal be,
cause. they argue, 1t would not be
practicable for America to enforce
payment.

5 JAIL BIRDS
ESCAPE FROM
SECOND STORY

Five prisoners by a clever ruse
made their escape from second
story window of the county Jail at
II o'clock last night Working
silently with a Stison wrench
which they had managed to get
early in the day. they twisted the
bars in one of the windows until
they became loose enough to slip
out. They next broke open sew
eral water pipes and flooded the
upper floor. The guard on duty
outside the Jail was called in to re-
lieve the inside guard so he could
stop the leak. AS soon as the out
side guard entered the building the
men began TO climb out of the
window. Five had made their
escape before the ruse was dis
covered.
The five who escaped are: NAL
quies, Rafael and Fidel MARTINEZ,
brothers, convicted recently of
stealing a horse: w, II. Garden
hire, who pleaded guilty on the
charge of forging a check in his
brothers name; Alfredo Domingo,
serving a 90-day sentence on va
grancy charge. Sentence had not
yet been passed on the three Mar
ttnez brothers, nor on W. II. Gar
denhire.
There are not enough cages i'm
the county jail to accommodate all
the prisoners and those held on
light charges and short sentences
are kept on the upper floor.
