lican publicity association, through
It's president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
il, today. gave out the following
statement from its Washington head

"In IN ancient fable which con-
tains q wealth of wisdom, the story
Is told o. tailor who! pretended to
have discovered a process by which
a textile could be produced which
would be visible only to those who
are honest. The story OF this inyen+'
ton was brought to the ears Of the
king who saw, Immediately the use
FUN esss or sush a material. He ca,ls-
ed all of his chancellors and men In
high positions to be taken to the shop
Of the tailor and clothes made tor
them of this marvellous fabric;' and
when the clothes were made caused
officers to be brought into his pre-.
sence and the clothes fitted upon
them. ,,
The tailor went through. the mo-
tions of putting the garments upon
the chancellors,< each of whom ex-
pressed adm Ira ton for the product of
the tailor art. The king found that
the clothes were invisible to him, but,
being unwilling to acknowledge the
fact, also Joined in the praise. After
this process had been applied to many
OF his official employees, the king de-
cided to try a suit for himself.
e SIN due time a suit was made for
the king himself and on a great state
occasion he stood up before the popu-
lace to have the robes placed upon his
person. AS the tailors went through
their usual performance all OF his or
ficials and the populace in general
were loud in their acclaim of the
beauty of the celors and designs. No
one would acknowledge that he could
see no clothing on the king, until at
last q child exclaimed, but he has
nothing on Whereupon all the peo-
pie realized that each had been un-
dertaking deception, that none ~of
them had seen any clothing on any
Of the officials. and that the tailor
was monstrous pretender.
''The fable is not without applica-
ton in our own country and our own
time. Seven years ago the American
people elected as president man who
to have discovered a new
new and more perfect
'democracy'-a democracy which In
Guided pitiless publicity-government
In the open--an executive who took
counsel with the legislative branch OF
the governments. democracy In
which the people should be close to
their chief executive.
Events in recent weeks have SUI
feed to demonstrate to the country
thatthe much proclaimed democracy
does not exist in fact. The effort OF
the president to dictate to the senate
the ratification of treaty
and his rebuke of Secretary Lansing,
in which he declared that. nothing
can be done without me-" awoke the
to the fact that not one shred
Of democracy; exists in the Wilson ad-
ton. Unless all present signs
shall fail the punishment meted out
to this pretending maker Of 'democ-
racy' will be as complete as that
which was accorded the tailor who
pretended to make fabrics visible only
to the eyes of the honest.

"If you try to do these things you
are sowing the wind from which the
whirlwind will come. This is not

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June g.
Delegates began streaming into the
Coliseum for the second session OF the
republican national convention an
hour before Chairman Henry Cabot
Lodge was to gavel for order, and
the galleries were slowly filing
The early arrivals were entertained
with voice magnifying device over
the rostrum, with which experiments
were conducted to get the best effects
for today's speeches. The device was
regulated to various volumes of sound,
at times the low tones Of one speaker
rolling and reverberating through the
huge Coliseum like thunder
Before the Coliseum began to fill
I'D the air became oppressive, and it
was evident that the day would be
hotter than during the opening SEES
sion.
A Gordon of police was drawn up be-
fore the Coliseum to control the
crowds which We're disgorged from
street cars and taxicabs.
The delegates whilled away the time
reading newspapers and putting their
heads together between musical num-
bers. The musical program took on
the aspect of a vaudeville show.
The delegates were apathetic and
their applause was practically noise
less.
Eleven o'clock, the hour set for
opening the session, passed with no
effort being made to bring the meet
ing to order. The aisles were choked
with people hunting seats, and there
was an ever increasing roar of talk.
