We believe that this question of prohibition, when [. is put to the actual test and it's hypocrisy is un- folded in all its hideous features, will just as rapidly find hearty re- pudiation through the same measures that thoughtlessly and wantonly moved its inception. Therein lies not only the great opportunity of the Democratic Party, but the para mount supreme duty of this conven- ton is to decide whether self de- termination in our own governmental affairs is to be denied or our inner ent natural rights are to find their greatest enjoyment in the exercise of personal liberty.
 We seek no quarrel with the dis tinguished gentlemen who may op- pose us on the question, we do not doubt the sincerity of those who are committed to the cause of Prohibit ton, but we do most pOtently deny that our government now is or ever will be transformed from one of maj Ority to minority rule. If Prohibition is good thing for the American people, we maintain that the right of personal liberty and it's preserya- iOn are of far greater consequence and more in accord with the idea of justice and national honor. Ii Prohibition is possessed of all the virtues attributed to it. why not let the people decide for themselves wherein their own best interests lie and thereby give evidence of their proporaionate capacity or intelli gence for self government.

former Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, and himself one of the dark horses for the Presidential nomination, attempts were being made within the circle of old line leaders to prevent McAdoo's nom- ination at any cost
 It was understood that among those the combination hoped to enlist against McAdoo was William J. Bryan, although it was he who eh- compassed Clark's defeat for the Democratic nomination in 1912 at Baltimore.
 The leaders in the move planned to hold the lines over Atty. Gen. A. Mitchell Palmer, and Gov. James M, Cox of Ohio long enough to prevent threatened deflections to McAdoo, which it was feared might start a landslide To strengthen their plan, the leaders hit upon Gov. Alfred F. Smith, of New York for the Vice Presidential nomination
 McAdoo was nominated yesterday by Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City in one of the shortest nominating speeches on record. Dr. Jenkins who presented McAdoo's name after 1t previously had been announced that word had come from the East hat no formal nomination of the former Secretary of the Treasury must be made, told the convention that he had intended to make a for nal speech but because of persist ent request from McAdoo, had de cided not to do so.
 The nominating sneaker declared he had been assured that McAd0o would accept if drafted and thaf ali rumors to the contrary were false hoods.
