Sixty-nine retired public school

Maj. Daniel J. Donovan. District

full public workers despite the failure
of Congress to enact the second de-

In passing the regular appropria-

Congress did not make the appro-

The Commissioners had approx
mately $1,000 inserted in the second

appropriation law becomes enectlve,
but the last minute filibuster in the
Senate prevented passage OF the de-

This was the word that the Hoosier
senator's hackers began today to pass
out after many quiet talks with dele
gates and leaders which lasted late
last night and were taken up again
today.
Another tip being passed by the
Ralston crowd is that the senator's

between McAdoo and other candi-
dates. They explain that several Of

STAFF Corresnondent of The Star

NEW YORK, June 26-The Demo-
cratic national platform, more prog
rcSSiVe" in form than any hitherto
ever put forward by the party, will
be presented to the Democratic ma
tional convention before adjournment
today and adopted by that body, if
the plans of the leaders are realized.
1t may be necessary, however. to
postpone such action until tomorrow.
The ku klux Klan issue, which
threatens to become the big issue of
the convention, and which some of
the party leaders in both camps fear
will end in partial disruption of the
party, is still awaiting solution. The
full resolutions committee will be
called upon to pass on the matter, II
was said today, the subcommittee
which for twenty-four hours has
been engaged in drafting the plat
form declining to take the respon-
sibility of acting on it. Two planks
full committee for its consideration.
One will name the klan, denouncing
such secret organizations, and the
other will not name it.
Following the demonstration in the
convention yesterday against the
klan when Senator Oscar Under
woods name was put in nomination
and his principal plank was declared
to be opposition to the Klan, the
klan leaders, some of whom are in
New York, have been engaged in
strenuous effort to prevent drastic
criticism by the convention against
the organization in the party plat
form.
Some Ofense Certain.
The charge is being made by some
OF the delegates that the Smith and
Underwood forces, in their effort to
defeat William Gibbs McAdoo by link
ing his name with the Khan and at
tacking the klan, have raised up a
Frankenstein that will GO a long
way toward defeating the party at
the polls next November. 1t would
take a miracle, however, at this time
to prevent a direct showdown on
the klan during the convention. With
the issue raised, it is likely that the
Democrats will offend some branch

The Ralston candidacy met a lot of
company at home and abroad yester-
day. 1t was the first time that Tag
gart had taken the infant boom out
for a walk away from his headquar-
ters, and he didn't do it then after
the manner of exhibiting his prodigy
He just called to pay his respects"
at the headquarters of various can
didates, and. of course, when some
body brought his child into the con
versation he blushed like proud
parent and thanked them modestly.
No more than that. Distinctly he was
not seeking f1attering comment about
the offspring. he made it plain, and
when there was talk at several places
about giving prominence to the In
diana senator, Taggart just smiled
his thanks and declared he would be
| mighty appreciative when the time
comes" But that was all.
At Taggart's headquarters in the
Waldorf the Ralston boom was on
display every minute that Taggart
wasn't out visiting.
Asks About Pledges.
A large rumber of delegates, some
of them pledged to other candidates
particularly from middle western and
western states, called to discuss the
Indiana senator. The first question
Taggart asked all of them was
whether they-were pledged. If they
said they were he urged them to
vote for their man untiI ha wac ,stt

Paint Small Part of House Cost.

Only about 1 per cent of the total
cost of a house today goes into the
paint and varnish used. This per-
centage is arrived at after an ex-
haustive study of houses of all types
by paint manufacturers, who found
that a house costing $4,000 used $50
or less in paints and varnishes, and
others in proportion.
