 REAL OBJECTIVE
Silzer Warns Against Over-Em-
 phasizing Minor Matters

NEW YORK, June 25.-Delegates to the democratic national convention were reminded by Governor Silzer of New Jersey in a formal statement issued this afternoon that the real objective of the convention twas Coolidge and Dawes"
 "The danger that I see in these early stages of the convention is that minor matters may be so over-emphasized as to temporarily obscure the real purpose of the gathering" said the New Jersey governor, himself a candidate for the presidential nomination.
 That purpose after all is to beat Coolidge and Dawes. And the conven- tion should not permit any side-track- ing of that purpose"

democratic party was that it stood for the protection of human rights by pro- tecting public officials against organ ized oppression and intimimation."
 Senator Underwood had requested he said that his position be made clear on this grave issue and added:
 with CandOr And Dignity"
 He believes that unless the issue is met with candOr and dignity in this Campaign you will not only invite the disintegration of the party but will take a backward step so wholly incon- sistent with basis of a modern liberal government as to be too unthinkable for the democratic party to accept or condone.
 The speaker described Senator Un- derwood as one whose ''only employer for more than a quarter of a century has been the people of the United States.
 "If a man ever lived in modern times apart from embarrassing or entangling associations or invironment, it is the man we now propose" Mir. Johnston declared. ''If any citizen of concern is found guilty of offense against the federal laws involving moral turpitude there is no reason, personal, profession al, or otherwise, why his administra- tion should not press the prosecution to the point of penal servitude.
 "The one indispensable requisite of your choice Is that it fall on a man of such exalted character that neither Wall street nor Main street, boulevard or alley, neither partisan journal nor a.. character without earning immediate decision; and such a man is this demo- crat whom we now place in nomina- tion."
 Taking up in his opening remarks the need that the democratic convention nominate a man who can restore confi- dence, Mir. Johnston continued
 "The republican party organization misunderstood it's victory in 1920 which was nothing more than the instihctive reaction of the people against the ad- ministration immediately responsible for war taxes and for the unavoidable exercise of abnormal federal powers incident to war.
 "Its officials came into power in 1921, exultant, over confident and in a state of suspended morals as a result of that victory and their party organi- zatiOn promptly lost it's conscience and it's capacity to analyse men and mo- tives or to reconcile in the public in- terests its internal conflicts over the use of the powers of government. As a result of the condition at Cleveland the nation has discovered the complete breakdown of republican morals and the loss of its courage.

Resolution Cited By Bir- mingham Man In Nom-
 mating Senator CITES BREAKDOWN
 OF G. o. P. MORALE Alabamian Held Above Reproach In All Pub lie Dealings N

/ NEW YORK, June 25.-The demand kof Senator Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama at the democratic national convention to condemn by name the political activities of the Ku Klux Klan was voiced to the convention today by Forney Johnston of Alamaba, as the keynote of his speech placing MT. Un- derwood's name before the convention for the presidential nomination.
 "No bare reference to the constitu- tion or the bill of rights, actually men tioned in the klan oath is adequate in this connection, "Mr. Johnston declared. 'aThe bill of rights are limitations only upon the state and federal governments and not upon private conspiracy. That is why the candidate of my people has insisted upon plain words.
 The Question
 "The question before this party is whether secret organizations shall be given powers immune from the bill of rights and superior to those delegated to the elected representatives of the people. ~ ss@
 Above all, does the candidate we represent condemn the massed action of secret political orders in furtherance of any objective which is plainly contrary to the spirit of the constitution. |. t.In order to express squarely his opinion on this question, have at his request, introduced a resolution reciting the established position of our party on that precise issue, referring to the res olution of 1856, and concluding with this resolving clause:
 Resolved, That we do reaffirm
 the principles set forth in the said resolution of the democratic plat
 form of 1658 and condemn as un-
 American and un-demOeratiC pOlit-
 ical action by secret or quasi-secret
 organizations fin furtherance of any
 political objective whatsoever; and
 in particular do we condemn such
 action for the purpose of preScrib-
 ing the political rights and priv.
 iIeges of citizens of the United
 States as is now proposed, prac-
 ticed, and publicly acknowledged
 by the organizations known as the
 Ku KIux KIan and as may now or
 hereafter be proposed or practiced
 by any. organization whatsoever
 Senator Underwood, MT. Johnston said, had no word to say against these who join any order, secret or other wise, organized for lawful purpose or to advocate openly any principle with in. the scope of legitimate public dis cussion.;-
 "What, he does condemn is the par ticipation in politics by any secret or ganizati0n whatsoever" the speaker con- tinued. He believes that such action intimidates public officials and en- courages political or oath-bound pledges contrary to public policy" \, At another point Mir.

 J. I. ROBINSON AS REAL LEADER
Declares Arkansas Crusa- der For Immortal Prin-
 ciples Of Democracy

NEW YORK, June 25.-The candi- daey of Senator Joseph T. Robinson for the presidential nomination of the dem Ocratic party, today was launched be- fore the national convention by c. H. Brough, former governor of Arkansas, who eulogized his candidate as "a prov en leader, who can unite all factions of our party, heal all party wounds; a Twentieth century crusader for the im- mortal principles of democracy and Americanism."
 The former governor said in part:
 Arkansas offers to the nation today her most distinguished and brilliant son.
 "The gentleman whom I have the honor, on behalf of the Arkansas delegation and who 1s the real choice of hundreds of thousands of friends and admirers, throughout the nation, to pre- sent to this convention for it's earnest and we trust favorable action, merits the stately eulogy of Senator COnckhng upon Senator Grant, Great is the ar duous greatness of things done
 "This great American and tribune of the rights of the common people enjoys the respect, love and admiration. of the American people. Since. he reached his majority 30 years ago he has taken an active part in every presidential cam paign; and it is significant fact that in every doubtful state in which he spoke during the last national cam paign, at least one democratic United States senator and several democratic congressman were elected.
 His Sservlces as national cam paigner have been in constant demand, and he has measured up to the highest tradition of America oratory and American statesmanship. In the prime of life with an unbroken record of 9 years of public service, he would bring to the high office of President the ma turity of experience and rough going knowledge of every great public ques- tion.
 T have the honor of presenting to this convention a great American who combines all the qualities of leadership that have enumerated, proven leader who can unite all the factions of our party, healing all party wounds; the Twentieth century crusader for the im- mortal principles of democracy and Amerieanism-SenatOr Joseph T. Rob- inson."

McAdoo dealt fairly with labor. Mo Adoo gave railroad labor a square deal, nothing more.
 To-day another great problem which demands solution is the lowering of the freight rates and improvement of rail- road regulation. What man is better equipped for this job than the man who for the entire war period operated all the railroads of the country"
 Fiber Of Fortitude
 As one of eight children, Mir. McAdoo the delegates were told, "has known privation and has practiced self-denial understands the problems of the poor has the fiber of fortitude and never quits"
 He is grounded in American prin. ciples, the constitution and the law He opposes any discrimination on ac' count of religious belief. It is repung. nant to his sterling Americanism.
 America was the protest of the free men of the world against religious bigotry and prosecutions of the past and it is a matter of constitutional principle and precept to protect the freedom of thought and free speech-oi religion, of press, of assembly.
 'McAdoo stands for the supremacy of the law and for the enforcement oi the law-the solemn duty of the exc cutive. The treaty-making powers and the congress under the constitution and bill of rights, prescribe the law and the ready weapon of the republic for it's defense against the ignorant ol intolerant."

 A fight had existed in the Iowa dele gation ever since it arrived here, the clash being between a majority group favoring McAdoo led by E. T. Meredith former secretary of agriculture and a Smith and anti-McAdoo group led by Wilbur W. Marsh former deocratic treasurer but not delegate.
