BY ROBERT MINOR

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 27
Slapped in the face by President
Coolidge, who ignored it's re-
quest that he state his position
on the Ku KIux Khan, and for
gotten by the Republican mayor
of Philadelphia who failed to
show up to deliver the promised

the Railway Brotherhoods be-
cause of the Railroad plank,
%slch is pledged to the abolition
of the Railway Labor Board, the
party does not think it necessary
to make promises against in
functions.
Not Warned About LaFoIlette.
The donkey leaders have decided to
risk the rivalry that LaFollette may
offer since Brotherhood leaders have
shown such active interest in the
Madison Square Garden conclave.
AS for the uncompromising Farmer
Labor opposition the Democrats are
CHANGING that on the strength of the
purses of their campaign contribut-
ors. This Farmer-Labor opposition is
expected to cost them several states
at least but the platform builders dare
not bid harder for workers and farm
ers' votes without losing their present
conservative backing.
Rotten Graft Plank.
Filling up much space in the plat
form structure win be the plank de-
nouncing republican graft But tho this
plank is bulky it is of rotten timber.
An examination of the phrases en-
scribed on the anti-graft plank shows
no demand for the falling of the graft
ers. This fits in neatly with the fact
that the federal grand jury summoned
to punish the guilty" has not yet re-
turned indictments against Fall, Sim
clair and that trusty democratic con-
tributor, Edward l.. Doheny, and is
not likely to before the Grand Jury
term expires June 30.
The democratic party does not con-
slider that republican grating is GRIM
inal. 1t is only good campaign mate
rial.
Hollow PHILIPPINE Plank.
The plank on independence of the
PHILIPPINES brings back the memory of
the anti-imperialism campaign of 1900
when Bryan called for the freeing of
the islanders enslaved by McKinley's
troops. But this plank rings hollow
as Bryan drops into the platform now.
Eight years of democratic administra-
ton passed without loosening Of the
Chains about the 100000 brown folks
in the eastern hemisphere. And the
plank itself is of the most unsubstan-
tial material. There is no specific
promise to free the islands immedi-
ately or within specific time such as
the term Of the next administration.
Thin Planks.
The promises to revise the tariff,
give government aid in reclamation,
employment to labor, control Missis-
sippi floods, develop highways, amend

mean anything.
Berry Vocal About Vets.
In connection with the matter OF
veterans aid, however, It is interesting
to note that Major George l.. Berry,
A. f. Of l.. candidate for the vice-presi-
dency, who is lobbying for himself at
the convention has had something to
say. Berry is vocal on the subject OF
veterans aid and quite silent on the
subject of labor planks. For Berry's
role now is more that OF the Legion
aire than of the unlonists.

SUB COMMITTEE
AGAINST
NAMING XII KLUX
Spells of Office Causing
Catholic Compromise


MADISON S UARE GAR
DENS, June 27.-The produce
ton of white sheeting will go up
after the jackass circus is over,
the wizards are averring. The
convention barometers presage
an easing of the storm against
the Ku KIux Khan. Wilson DEM
ocracy is not expected to out
law the hooded order.
This was indicated when the
sub-platform committee voted
10 to to submit a plank to the
full committee, denouncing the
principles of the Klan but NOT
naming it.
Unless the full committee of the
convention does the unexpected the
Knights of Columbus and the Knights
of the Fiery Cross can fight together
for the spoils of office. Many of the
Tammany braves and Brennan bull
lies are realizing that if this compro-
mise is not effected, the prospects for
getting the lucrative Morgan posts at
Washington are Simmer.
Concessions to Catholics.
McAdoo forces saw this afternoon
that they would have to make conces-
sions to the Catholics present if they
wished to save what was left Of the
chances of the lean Wilsonian. So
]. f. T. O'Connor, of Montana, in his
speech seconding McAdoo's nominal
ton, announced that he condemned
the Khan but in the same breath ar
gued against the raising Of religious
issues in the convention.
kIuxers Narrow Eyes.
Wellknown Kluxers in the Indiana
delegation narrowed their eyes at
OConnor's speech and whispered con-
ferences followed. The convention
strategists were explaining to their
followers why it was necessary to
take little spanking to avert a big
thrashing.
Following the McAdooite, AL Smiths
forces put forward a protestant, Mrs
Carol Miller, of Philadelphia, to say
few happy words for AL. Mrs. Miller
boosted that her mother was a Pres
byterian and she married a Presby-
terrain, but she regarded Alfred E.

.seconding, as "a true Christian and
true American"

the ccSvention could not forget that
Cox received one of the worst trim
mings in the political history from
one of the --LATEST personalities the
opposing party had ever entered in a
