In his opening address at the San
Francisco convention, Mr.. Cummings
of course roasted the republican reso-
lutions to a brown turn. This was to
be expected, and is q part of the po.
litical game. Some of his statements
made in his enthusiasm will hardly
bear investigation, and will probably
receive due attention during the COM
Ing campaign. In referring to the
peace time achievements of tho DEM
ocratic party he said the party freed
the farmer from the deadening effect
of usurious financial control. This
probably refers to the Federal Farm
Loan law, law that is now tied up
with court proceedings, and the farm
ers can not borrow dollar from that
: board. He, said Labor. was given
its Magma Charta Of liberty" A
liberty that labor does not seem to
appreciate very much, as there has
never been such an era of strikes and
bitter complaints from labor a. there
has been. during this administration.
Also he claimed that "Busineas aud

The democratic national convention
met in San Francisco Monday. Ho-
mer Cummings, chairman Of the ma
tional committee, was chosen tempo
rarv chairman and delivered the key
note speech. In the organization OF
the convention the administration
members were in full control. and
Mr.. Glass Of Virgins, . faithful
supporter os the president, ~ss made
chairman Of the resolutions commit
tee. This made it impossible for the
introduction OF any resolutions not
sanctioned by the president IN the
majority report, and they could only
be brought before the convention by
. minority report. The charge was
made when the republican convention
was in session. that it was controlled
by the senators, but with even more
reason the democratic convention can
be called cabinet members conven.
tion. Unlike the senators who were
divided on some of the important
questions, the members of the cabinet
at San Francisco are standing as q
unit. What the outcome will be It
is impossible at this time to predict,
but it seems evident that the wishes
Of the president will be carried out in
every important feature. This will
be satisfactory to the republicans. 40
they are anxious to make the fight on

tion.
