have a chance to vote later on weak

came. They stand on record as op-
posed to a dry plank.
In the resolutions committee II was
announced that tho subcommittee
stood five to four against any plank
at all. Senator Glass, chairman or
the subcommittee. stated that TO be
the policy preferred. In fact, II was
understood that the president thought
it best that the platform should be
silent on the subject and the tuli

lie did not urge tho adoption OF
the wet plank. since there was no dl-
rect issue made between him ana
McAdoo.
II McAdoo had come out squarely
in favor of a dry plank, he would
have made 1t difficult for the dele
gates from the dry States to support
any candidates less outspoken for
prohibition than himself But he did
as candidates usually do; gave MS
entire thought to nomination and no
mention to the platform.
PALMER POSITION SAME.
Attorney General Palmer was in
the same position. Not a word or
support given to the dry cause and
drys indiscriminately mixed. A con-
siderable majority of his delegates
voted against the dry plank, and quite
number OF them voted for the wet
plank. IL he had come out and made
n fight for the platform instead OF
conining his efforts to the promotion
OF his own candidacy, he would have
compelled the delegates to support
him or some one else as strongly
committed to the peoples side on the
various propositions submitted. He
was described as a Fighting Quaker"
and yet he gave no support to the
effort to declare against universal
compulsory military training. He
knows OF the profteering that is
going on, and yet neither he nor his
representatives showed any interest
in securing defnte and specific
plank on this subject.
And so with other questions before
the convention. The platform seemed
to the candidates a negligible auanti-
ty all interest being centered in glor-
flying the personality OF canA Aidates.
Governor Cox could hardly .be eN-
pected to be as bold In presenting
his case as the others.

REED.
CALLS LEAGUE.
Says Convention Rejected Him
Because of His Attacks on
Wilson Plan.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. July G-The
League of Nations was denounced as
league of treason and covenant OF
national DEATH" by Senator James A.
Reed, who returned here yesterday
from San Francisco, where he was re-
fused a seat as delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention.
Senator Reed, addressing a mass
meeting in convention hall here, de-
clared, he was privately assured by
grapevine messages" while his case
was being heard. that the credentials
committee OF the convention would
seat him IL he would agree to keep
silent in regard to the League Of
Nations on the convention floor. His
refusal to make such an agreement
was responsible for his being denied
a seat, he said.
"If there is one lesson that this
country needs to learn" Senator
Reed said in his speech, "it is that
this is not a one-man country. 1t
is a 110,O0O.000 men country. If you
would keep this republic safe' you
must do your own thinking. You,
the people, are the source OF all
power. The sooner you exercise it
the better it will be for you and for
the country" Senator Reed denounced
tne at
Francisco "a convention afflicted
with international blind staggers.'
Without direct personal reference
to anyone. Senator Reed declared
there was little difference between
the doctrine Of thu divine right OF
kings "and the modern doctrine that
man elected to office becomes
thereby a leader. and that all who
differ with him are eXcommunicatcd
and outcast."
Robert Lansing, ex-Sccretary of
State. he described as the only man
the President took to France with
him who knew anything about inter
national law "and about the only one
who had ordinary common sense" and
he asserted that Lansing's removal
from office was the result Of his in
sstence upon warning the people of
the true meaning of this league with
treason, this covenant of national
death"
Senator Reed declared that this in
formation in regard to what the
league really means is going to the
people and they shall know the
truth"
Reed was received with enthusiasm
and a resolution adopted by a rising
vote denouncing the action of the
Democratic national convention in
denying representation to this conn.,
munity in refusing to seat Senator
Reed" and indorsing the Senator's
stand was telegraphed TO the Demo-
cratic convention.
Senator Reed said that the Demo
cratic convention on independence
Day, 1920, 'is sitting. not to deter
mine it will never surrender any
American rights, but that 1t will sur
render all the American rights 1t

the place.

PRAISE FROM BAKER.

out the following statement:
"In his three terms as Governor oi
Ohio, Governor Cox has demonstrated
his great executive ability and his
forwsrd-looking and aggressive de
mocracy. He is fearless and high.

resources OF his office and his per.
sonal talent into the struggle and
stood unwaveringly with those who
were making and keeping America

pride In Ohio, and the country will
flnd him an aggressive Democrat with

the navy, the Department of Com
merce and the Interstate Commerce
Commission would be called in. The
conference, Mr.. Ames indicated. has
to do primarily with the production,
movement and price of coal, but he
said that the strike situation would
be discussed.
THE present price of bituminous
coal is unjustifiable," said Mr.. Ames
yesterday, "and IL will be the pur-
pose of this department and the
conference which will be resumed
in New York Monday to determine a
fair price for coal. This does not
mean that a government price for
coal will be fixed but it does mean
that some price will be decided upon
beyond which coal should not be
sold.
The government is banking
strongly upon the cooperation of
the coal industry. both dealers and
producers having shown a disposi-
ton to get together with US in re-
lieving the situation. A great part
of the price advance is due to the
general belief that there is to be a
big shortage of coal this winter and
people have become psnicky. Coal
is being bid up to prices unwar-
ranted by the amount of coal which
has been mined in this country this
year"

then that the next morning at 5

was late, as these unthanked work

was forced to wait until s o'clock
