CUMMINGS IS
 ALPHABETICALLY
 A PROGRESSIVE

San Francisco, July 1---The name
 of Homer S. Cummings, chairman of
 the Democratic National Committee,
 was placed before the Democratic convention today for the presidential
 nomination by John F. Crosby of
 Connecticut, Special Assistant United States Attorney General, who de-
 clared that the national chairman stands four-square with that inspir- ed genius of Democracy and inn mortal prophet of worldwide peace," Woodrow Wilson.
 Chairman Cummings said Mr. Crosby, belongs to the Democracy of the nation. "For more than 20 years
 he has been Connecticut's official voice in the national executive council of our party" MT. Crosby continued, and if proof were needed to demon state how we'll he is admired and low ed and trusted by his fellow Demo-
 crats, that proof is to be found in his unanimous election to the powerful and all important post of chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee.
 Never a seeker after public off1ce he none the less has held his great talents always at the service of his country. In politics, he is emphatic ally a progressive. Through the last l quarter of a century he has fought valiantly for every great reform that
 marks a milestone in the vitaliziing process by which Democracy's ideals have been promoted and the purity of , popular government preserved. The transendent issue of the nation | is whether America shall hold fast | to the sublime ideal by which her 1 leader sanctioned mankind's great l sacrifice and reused to new aspiration l the hopes of a despairing world. There | can be no doubt of where our duty l lies. Woodrow Wilson is unconquera-
 ble in his hold upon the truth that
 America belongs to the world. Repub- 1 1ican leadership has made it's answer. l It remains now for us to deliver the 1 answer of America.
 l "Let us prove to the world that America has not forgotten. Let us i nominate a man through whom the l power of our country shall fulfill at
 last Isaiah's ancient prophecy: 1 Nation shall not lift up sword
 against nation neither shall they | learn war any longer.'
 | Connecticut offers you such a man
 a figure that rises up out of the tu-
 mutt of contending desires as the one l man upon whom all the factions o1 l Democracy can most happily and har- moniously unite."
