Mgr. P. L. Ryan Concludes
Invocation With Lords
Prayer.

San Francisco, June 2S.-FoIlow-

Ryan, vicar general of the diocese
of San Francisco Catholic Church,
delivered at the opening session of
the Democratic convention yester-
day:
Almighty and everlasting God, in
whose power are the destinies of
nations, whose wisdom surpasseth all
understanding. graciously vouchsafe
to this assembly light to see Thy
way and strength to follow. Grant
we beseech Thee, that its delibera-
tions may be inspired and directed
by the eternal principles of truth
and justice which Thou hast laid
down for the right ordering of peo-
Piles.
I'VE recommend also to Thy un-
bounded goodness all our fellow
citizens throughout the United
States that they may be blessed in
the knowledge and sanctified in OBJ
servance of Thy holy law, that they
may live in union, peace and pros
perity, and that after enjoying the
blessings of this life they may be
admitted to those which are eternal
These petitions we humbly make in
the name of Tho divine Son, who

in the United States in 1919, the con-
vention's acclaim rang out loud ard
long.
DeIuge of Bouquets.
Then the temporary chairman
deluged the Democratic party with
bouquets for its achievements in
the world war. He denied the right
of "the party that conducted the
Spanish American War to play the
role of critic of anything that was
done in the late war" There were
shouts- of "embalmed beef" at that
juncture. Mr.. Cummings admitted
that the war had been expensive,
but he asked IL it were not better
to prepare for a long war and
make it short than to prepare for
short war and make it long"
The convention liked that pithy
aphorism and shrieked it's approval.
Now Mr.. Cummings came to the
piece de resistance of his address
President Wilson's part in the end
ing of war.
He declared that Woodrow Will
son had been stricken down in his
fight for world peace as cruelty and
mercilessly as "those other mar
tyred Presidents, Mckinley and
Garfield and Lincoln, had been cut
down." The Republican opposition
to the treaty of Versailles was
based, Mr.. Cummings affirmed, pri-
marily on the fact that the treaty
was the work of a Democratic
President. He denounced senatorial
hostility to the treaty as arbitrary,
malicious and dog-in- -manger
opposition. He branded the Re-
-N,rs.
ical League of Nations as down
that a League of Nations already
actually exists"
Scores Lack Of Ratification.
Mr.. Cummings now made effective
play with a tabulation of the ma
tions that have already ratified the
Treaty of Versailles. including the
covenant of the league cataloging
arst the countries being at war with
Germany, which had made peace
with her and Joined tbe league, and
then the list of neutral nations that
acceped invitations to join the
league.
Mr.. Cummings was the recipient
of very flattering ovation who
he SAT- down. He had spoken, he
told US later. only "2.5oe words less
than Senator Lodge"
When the cheers for the tempo
rary chairman cubsided, Gov. Fred
erick Gardner. of Missouri. intro
duced a resolution proposing that
the convention telegraph IAN ex-
preston of cheer, and congratula-
tions" to President Wilson. The mo-
tior was enthusiastically and unan-
imously carried. Then the conven-
tion adjourned until o'clock Tues
day afternoon.

was ]. Bruce Kremer. of Montana.
! vice chairman of the Democratic
committee. whose duty it was to
make a >semi-keynote speech while
presenting the national commit
tees plan for temporary organiza-
tion of the convention. Mr.. Kre-
mer fairly exuded platitudes in de-
nunciation of Republicanism and
its works, particularly those re-
Gently wrought at Chicago.
He termed the Chicago platform
"a mastery exemplification OF the
art of evasion" He declared that
"our opponents speak to the people
in the language of yesterday and
see only through the lenses of re-
action" Mr.. Kremer, amid accom-
panying cheers, affirmed that "the
Republican party, through years of
retrogression, has now reached the
CGcadent stage"
Says G. o. p. Is Out of Tune.
Alluding to the league of nations,
he asserted that the rival organi-
zation 'is out of harmony with the
worlds desire" Evasion such as
that practiced at Chicago, said Mr..
Kremer, had now made the Demo-
cratic party the leader and cham
pion of world hopes" and he pron-
ised that 1t would not be evasion
that would make "the nominee of
this convention the next President
of the United States" Mr.. Cum
mings, having been proclaimed the
national committees choice for
temporary chairman, was then es-
corted to the platform to be greeted.
by hearty cheers from delegates
and galleries.
He has an attractive presence and
an agreeable oratorical style, and
promptly won the heart of his great
audience. For the hour and a frac-
tion that he was on his feet, the
Connecticut leader effectually held
the conventions attention. He, too.
like his predecessor, shot holes
through the Republican national
platform.
He pilloried IL as "reactionary,
provincial and the very apotheosis
of political expediency." 1t was
hlled, Mr.. Cummings averred, with
"premeditated obscurity and vague
promises"
Manifestly with the approval of
his hearers, the chairman claimed
the. Republican platform will be
searched in vain for one single con-
structive suggestion for reformation
of conditions which it criticizes and
deplores.'
After Mr.. Cummings had riddled
the Chicago platform to his hearts
content. he devoted himself to a de-
fense of the Wilson administrations
record before the nation and rhe
world. He catalogued the numer-
Gus pieces of constructive legisla-

Catering to the Drys.
Cox is undoubtedly at the mo-
ment somewhat in disfavor. Be-
yond doubt the original vital force
of his candidacy sprang from the
fact that he was accepted by the
vets as their loyal candidate. But.
as the fact that the convention Is
essentially dry became more ap-
parent, the Cox managers sought
to cater more and more to that
element. As a result his wet sup
porters have taken alarm and the
governor finds himself in the pre-
dicament common to those who try
to carry water-firewater- both
Shoulders.
Bryan Announces Plank.
While the convention was COM
pleting the preliminary details OF
the organization Mr.. Bryan, in his
room. was giving out and defend
ing the much discussed plank on
the league and the treaty. which he
will urge on the convention.
The full text follows:
The Democratic party demands
an amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution providing for ratification
of treaties by a majority vote. So
that 1t will be as easy to end
war as IL is to declare war. Plant
ing ourselves upon the most funda-
mental principle of popular gov
ernment. namely. the right OF the
people to rule-a doctrine In sup
port of which we have recently
spent over s25,000, 100000, and for
which we have sacrificed 100000
precious lives-we favor an imme-
diate reconvening of the Senate that
this principle may be applied to the
treaty controversy and ratification
secured with such reservations as
majority of the Senators may agree
upon. reserving for the future the
making of such changes as We may
deem necessary.
Favors League Delegates.
I'VE favor appointment by the
President, with the consent Of the
Senate, of delegates to represent
this nation in the league until reg
ularly chosen delegates are elected
and qualified.
I'VE favor the selection of the
nations delegates in the league of
nations by popular votes in districts,
in order that the people may speak
through, representatives of their
own choice in the august tribunal
which will consider the welfare Of
the world.
These delegates should be in
structed not to vote without specific
instructions from Congress, or from
the people, given by referendum
vote.
Our national delegates should
also be instructed to insist uSon the
disarmament of the world in or
der that the burden of militarism
may be lifted from the shoulders of
those who toll and the foundation
of an enduring peace laid in friend
ship and cooperation.
1t is probable that no solution
to be presented, perhaps not even
the plank dealing with the liquor
question will awaken more general
discussion than this. In a confer
ence today Mr.. Bryan defended 1t
as being the only method by which
anything effective could be accom-
plished this year toward getting the
United States out"

As the greater share Of his ac-

that the President. whom he repre-

day of most of the delegates, and
as a result the McAdoo name at the

of the day, but may be wholly re-

City Mo-, recently. Mr.. Webster is a
valued employe of the F. w. Wool
worth five and ten-cent store. Con-
tinuing, he said:
s"For the past four years I have suf-
fered with stomach trouble and nerv-
Gus indigestion. My appetite has been
exceedingly poor, and the little 1 did
manage to eat would cause me intense
misery, as gas would form and press
against my heart so it would palpitate
something awful, and 1 had great diff
ficulty in getting my breath. My
nerves were in such bad condition the
least little noise out of the ordinary
would completely upset me. I had
bad headache nearly all the time and
at times became so dizzy it was all
could do to keep from falling. 1 had
lost so much weight and was in such a
badly rundown condition I had to lay
off from work for two or three days at
a time quite often, and just before
started taking Tanlac L had come to
the conclusion I would have to quit
work entirely as 1 could hardly get
about at all I was so weak.
II had spent hundreds of dollars for
different treatments and medicines,
but none of them did me any good,
and I had just about lost faith in all
medicines, but as I had seen SO much
praise of Tanlac by people who had
been benefited by it 1 decided to give
it a trial. Well, you can imagine my
surprise when I began to get better
while taking the first bottle. I con-
tinued taking it. until today am
well man and all my troubles are gone.
My appetite is good and I can eat any
thing 1 want without any bad after
effects, and my nerves are in perfect
condition. I have recommended Tam
lac to any number of friends and ac-
quaintances and they all praise it as
much as I do, and that is saying a
great deal. for think it is the grand
