NOTED and actively aided in the in
vestigation of the executive depart
ment in conjunction with the demo-
cratic members and co-operated with
them in securing appropriate action
touching the revelations made by the
various committees. They revolted
against the choice Of the majority of
their party for the Craftsmanship of
one Of the leading committees Of the
senate and elevated a Democratic
member to that place."
Little Love for League.
In harping on the further differ
ences rending the republican party
such as the lack Of a uniform atti-
tude toward the world court and the
friction between Butler and Slemp
over campaign management, Walsh
let the delegates look thru key
hole, as it were, on the League of Ma
lions plank Of the democratic plat
form. He declared: 'It is not neces-
sary that we Immediately join the
league as it is that we abandon fool
ish antagonism to any world move
ment."
The address was closed with for
NAL plea for the return to the poll
cies of Wilson in the name of the
honor and the prosperity Of the coun-

Enright then ratified more skeletons
and came to the rescue Of the ex-
hausted audience with an invitation
to enjoy a thoro airing by taking a
buss ride to the grave of Samuel j.
Tilden, a dead democratic leader who
was once president.
Motions on the organization Of the
national committee, the adoption of
the rules of the convention with the
two-third provision intact, and vote
of commentator for the keynote
speech delivered by "the brilliant mil
liant Mississippian," were quickly
adopted.
Fireworks Begin.
Now it was time for the fireworks
to begin. Victor H. Hanson of Biz
mingham, Ala, was the first to go to
bat. His speech for Underwood was
scathing, tho covert, denunciation
of McAdoo. Underwood was hailed
as free from embarrassing or entang-
ling associations. His only employer
for the past rs years has been the
people of the United States. VERY
faint applause punctuated the address
Hanson assured the bankers seated
behind him and all around him that
Underwood would guarantee them
foreign markets. A lame defense of
Underwood's liberalism was the sole
mask for his reactionary record. Sen
ator Underwood is an open-shopper, a
labor-hating southern steel magnate,
Khan Denounced.
When Hanson played his trump
card, denunciation of the Khan by
name, a reading of the Underwood
resolution against the hooded hooli'
gans, there was a vigorous outburst
Of applause. However, it must be
stated that the demonstration was par
ticipated in by nearly all the state
delegations, among which there are
said to be at least 100 Khan members
It was most instructive piece OF
political camoufage and strategy to
see Louisiana, the scene of the Baton
Rouge Khan murders, Arkansas, In
diana, Ohio and other Ku Klux strong
holds cheering Justify. But when the
march started, Oregon, Washington
Idaho and Wyoming first kept away
and then were very slow to join
the procession at all. When the Colo
RADIO standard.bearer attempted to fall
in line he was pulled back into the
fold. The band FASTENED the end OF
the performance by playing "Amer-
ica."
