CHARGES SHAMELESS WASTE
Turning to the record of the re-
publican congress since 1918, Mr..
Cummings said it was "barren of
achievement, shameless in waste of
time and money and without parallel
for its incompetencies, failures and
regulations"
President Wilson's two appeals be-
fore congress for legislation dealing
with profiteering, reduction of taxa
ton, aid for soldiers and laws to
improve relations of capital and labor
were ignored, he declared, and "after
a year of sterile debate our country
has neither peace nor reconstruction
He dwelt particularly on attacks
made upon the president Malice fol
lowed him to the peace table, he said
and wide spread propaganda made it
when he returned from
Paris to make struggle for that
which had been won at incalculable
cost. This meant wreck of health
sickness for months on bed of pain;
and worse, the sickness of heart
which comes from the knowledge that
political adversaries are savagely des-
troying not merely the work of mems
hands, but the worlds hope of settled
peace. This was the affliction-this
the crucifixion."
Mr.. Cummings continued that in
one sense sit is quite immatetial
what people say about the president.
Nothing we can say can add or detract
from the fame that will flow down
the unending channels of history"

gressive platforms of 1916 as part of

at is not yet too late. Let us
stand with the forces of civilization.
The choice is plain. 1t is between the
democratic party's support of the
league of nations, with its program of
peace, disarmament and world frater~
nifty, and the republican party's plat
form of reputation, provincialism,
militarism and world chaos"
REBukESs LODGE
1t is not reservations that the pres
ident stands against, said Mr.. Cum
mings, but qualifications He told how
President Wilson had published thu
tentative text of the league covenant
widely in 1919, asking for criticism
and receiving suggestions from Taft,
Hughes and others that were "act-
ually incorporated into the revised
draft of the league"
Senator Lodge, he said, refused to
offer constructive amendments at any
time. so intolerant was his attitud"
that he would not even consider q
compromise proposed by Former
President Taft of his own party and
which was assured of support Of 10
democratic senators. Senator Lodge
knew that he controlled the senate
and that i'll his own time ana way he
would destroy the treaty.
This is the sordid story yof it's de
feat" said Cummings, after reviewing
the senate's action in the matter. NO
blacker crime against civilization has
ever soiled the pages Of our history.
The last chapter was written at Chi
cago."
Let the true purpose of our party
be clearly UNDERSTOOD" he said in
concluding his address "We stand
sQuarely for the same ideals Of peace
as those for which the wa1 was
foughts We support without flinching
the only feasible plan for peace and
justice. We will not submit to the

decline to comprimise our principles
or pawn our immortal souls for self
ish purposes. We do not tour our
backs upon the history Of the last
three years. We seek no avenue of
retreat. We insist that the forward
course is the only righteous course.
SEEK VICTORY
eve seek to re-establish the fruits
of victory, to reinstate the good faith
of our country and to restore it to
its rightful place among the nations
of the earth. Our cause constitutes
summons to duty. The heart Of
America stirs again. The ancient
faith revives. The immortal part of
man speaks for US. The services Of
the past, the sacrifices Of War, the
hope of the future, constitute a sp!r-
itual force gathering about our BAN
ners. We shall release again the
checked forces of civilization and
America shall take up once moro the
leadership of the world.

CONVENTION
Continued from Page One)

sion the delegates TO the democratic
national convention heard the keynote
speech by National Chairman Cum
mings and perfected preliminaries
clearing the way for the real work Of
finding a presidential candidate.
Twelve o'clock was the hour fixed
for the opening but hours before the
ticket holders had gathered before the
spacious building which seats more
than 10000.
Those who did not hold tickets were
barred from approaching the mann en-
trance by fences hidden by screen
of California evergreens.
The decorations of the hall were
simple and tasteful with stars and
stripes the dominant feature.
PROHIBITION AN ISSUE
Seats for the 1892 delegates were
compactly assembly close to the plat
form and were stretched across the
width of the hall.
With the preliminarles over the four
big convention committees will
promptly get to work. Greatest in
terest centers in the committee on
resolutions, where the parry issues will
be fought with good prospects that
some of them will reach the conven-
ton floor for final decision.
The delegates were prepared to fight
over both platform and candidates.
The livest subject in the minds Of the
delegates was the prohibition fight but
the talk of candidates was gaining
more and more attention.
MANY SUPPORT MADOO
The latest turn to McAdoo's boom
furnished new angle. The announce
ment that the former secretary OF the
treasury despite the announcement
that he did no want the nomination
would be willing to accept it was var
iously accepted by the several elements
OF the fight. BY some it was declared
that this development meat that Nc
Adoo, whose supporters hitherto had
planned to keep him in the background
/ for several ballots now would be an
active contender from the start and
/ that in consequence the convention
would. like that of the republicans at
'Chicago, have big three running
close together from the start. The
possibility of such development
brought renewed claims of consistent
4 gains from supporters Of Governors
Cox. and Edwards and Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and set the dark horse to
champing impatiently as they recalled
what happened to the big three at
Chicago.
Managers of Palmer and Cox sought
to discount the apparent significance
of the McAdoo announcement made

he had any direct authorization from
