ton through which the business Of
the country can be carried on" T.
Senator Walsh declared that the
President was at odds with the ma
jority wing with which he Is sup
posed to be sympathetic, on the
World Court, the pension bill. the
adjusted compensation bill, and to
a greater or less extent, on the immi-
grafton bill, and that now to cap the
climax unseemly discussions rend the
party organization charged with the
conduct of the campaign about to
begin.
Upon the record of the Democratic
party through eight years OF glorious
history from 1913 to 1921, we submit
that 1t should again be entrusted
with the direction of our national af-
fairs. There is not a blot on our
record. 1t shines respondent. No
like period in our history is more
crowded with great events or has
presented problems more profound
1t is signahzed by the enactment of
more legislation for the common good
than is recorded in our annals for
any other equal number Of years.

the issue from honest government,
the repeal of the new tariff of abomi-
nations, relief for agriculture, and re-
lated reforms, to the League Of Ma
tons. It Is not so necessary that we
Immediately join the League, as 1t is
that we abandon foolish antagonism
to any world movement, however
commendable in itself, merely be-
cause it is in some way connected
with the League.
I'VE may confidently rely upon
general support of a policy of active
participation by our government in
any effort that may be made through
the League or any other channel to
bring about a restoration OF normal
industrial activity in Europe and to
establish a state of actual peace in
every case in which it Is reasonably
safe to do so without entangling our
selves in the quarrels of our con-
stituent nations or involving US in
schemes Of national aggrandizement
or controversies distinctly political In
character.
1.-THE honor Of our country, the
prosperity of our people demand that
we return to the ideals of Woodrow
Wilson. that we resume the place he
won for us-the moral leadership OF
the world"

McAdOO's Name "a
Presented by Ex- n
Sen. Phelan of Calf.

William G. McAdoo was placed IN
nomination for the Presidency at the
Democratic National Convention to-
day by former Senator James D.
Phelan of California, with the dec
larasion that he is the natural lead
er of progressive thought and
achievement"
This year demands the return OF
triumphant Democracy" said Mi
Phelan. 1.-THE progressives of the ma =
ton look TO the Democratic party for
their leader. Shall we give him to
them? There is room in America for
but one reactionary party, and the
Republicans have pre- empted that
depends upon it's choice for candi-
date for the Presidency of this man"
Tracing Mr.. McAdoo's career both
in the government service and in
private life, Mr.. Phelan declared that
the vast problems of the continent
are his familiar themes; the pros
perity of farm and forest and mine,
factors of natural growth and
strength and transportation and irri-
CATION, these are not strange subjects
born of restricted environment and
narrow outlook"
'In the broadness Of his vision, his
sympathetic understanding, his ag-
gressive personality, his burning pat
riotism, he is an ideal American"
continued the speaker. And so the
country will accept him."
1--WE honor President Wilson who
left a great heritage Of character and
achievement to the Democracy" con-
tinued Mr.. Phelan, "but we shall not
forget the toiler by his side, the in
spirer of ideas and the doer of
things, the great Secretary OF the
treasury in the most exacting and
soul-testing administration since
Lincoln's."
The speaker asserted that Mr.. Nc
Adoo understands the farmers prob
lens "far better than any aspirant
for the presidency-either Democrat
or Republican"
That "the workers knew his senti-
ments toward labor. He gave them
the eight hour rule and overtime and
otherwise ameliorated their condi-
ton. Assuming complete control. he
brought order out Of chaos, relieved
congestion, opened ports and. loyalty
supported by his men. successfully
moved to tide water-a vital opera
ton. the tied-up troops and supply
trains; that che gave labor a square
deal. nothing more"

Sen. Walsh's Address
Continued from PAGE ons)

Investigations on war expenditures
undertaken by political opponents
had revealed nothing culpable. the
inquiry collapsed under the scorn of
the gentleman who. two weeks ago.
was accorded by the Republican
party the second honor in its gift.
Referring to the Harding and
Coolidge administrations. Senat tor
Walsh asked: What clarion voice
has been raised from any high official
quarter against Forbes, the despoiler
of the disabled veteran, or Fall, who
bartered away an all -important ele-
ment of the national defense under
circumstance he dare not tell lest he
confess eriminality?"
The Republican revision Of the
tariff was called to attention, the
speaker asserting that the rates
mounted higher than ever before.
There is an exquisite harmony" he
said, between the policy of isolation
and of protective tariff as exem-
plified in the act of 1892. Why
trouble ourselves about the troubles
of Europe. Let her stew in her own
Juice. Let us not even trade with
her. or course, no such policy was
or could be pursued"
Mr.. Walsh stated that from the
harmony secured and the prosperity
enjoyed by the tariff beneficiaries the
farmers of the Northwest have paid
until bankruptcy among them is gem
eral He further said that although
conditions are more acute in the
Northwest. every product that must
find a foreign market is affected and
that the net change of population
from farm to town in 1898 was over
], 200,0 200, accelerating a movement in
progress in recent decades that has
already excited general alarm.
1t was the speakers contention that
in the face of an impending calamity
the Republican party Is impotent
and that held fast by great monopo-
listic beneficaries Of the tariff, it
dare not lower the rates even on
those commodities, reduction in the
price Of which would be of imme-
date benefit to the farmer. lest the
whole structure should tumble.
He contended further that the Re-
publican party dare not take step
looking toward the pacification of
Europe with q view to the restofat ion
Of its normal purchasing power lest
1t be wrecked by the passions 1t
aroused to accomplish the rejection
Of the Covenant of the League of
Nations for no better reason than it
was sponsored by a Democratic
President
