only the strong desire for grabbing off
many political plums and the convic-
ton that this year offers such an op-
portunity that has kept the delegates
together.
Then, of course, the khan issue has
not helped he party spirit an iota.
The animoSty aroused by this matter
will not blow over for some time, if
it ever will. There is no doubt that
this question got out of the hands of
the bosses: They never thought that
the anti-klan forces could marshal so
much strength. One of the leading
wheels of the Smith machine told the
writer, on the eve of the khan battle,
that he expected to lose from so to 100
votes.
Had the leaders known that the
vote would be so close, or had they
realized that what was primarily a
nomination fight would arouse so
much feeling amongst the delegations
they never would have allowed the
fight to get to the floor.
This test of strength has weakened
the Democratic party substantially.
The number of khan delegate members
is now estimated conservatively at
243. Some say it is even higher.
How deep the resentment over this
matter is can best be seen from the
fact that many southern delegates
told me that if the anti-klan plank had
carried they would be compelled to
knife the Democratic ticket and in
desperation vote for LaFollette. A
good number of these delegates still
say that If the almost impossible hap
pens and AL Smith is nominated they
will cut him in November and vote for
LaFollette or stay away from the
polls.
Jackass Getting Tame.
In conclusion, everywhere there is
evident feeling of listlessness in the
ranks Of the Democratic henchmen and
officials here. They have lost their
fighting spirit. They have lost their
confidence. They seem to have lost
much Of their clans or esprit de corps,
as one would put 1t in the terms Of
military strategy.
Whether this feeling of depression
will stay with the Democrats thruout
the campaign one cannot tell at this
time with certainty. Yet it's very ap.
pearance during convention is a
source Of grave weakness that will
play its part in the decisions and re-
suits Of the coming months in poll
tics.

BRYAN'S RED MENACE
SPEECH MOST EXCITING
Time IN JACKASS MEET
BY JAY LovEsroNE.

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, July 7.-"Russia has a
class government, England has la
Dor government and France has a
socialist government" was the key
note of the speech made by William
Jennings Bryan in behalf of McAdoo
and against John w. Davis. This
address still stands as the high
watermark of excitement In this
convention.
The unexpected strength shown
by the muItimiIIionaire, John w.
Davis forced Bryan to take the ros-
trum in behalf Of his sturdy steed,
McAdoo.
Bryan minced no words in tell
ing the delegates that the nominal
tlon Of Davis would kill their chano-
es of playing progressive" in the
coming election. Of course, pro-
gresslve pretensions are the bed
rock Of democratic political strategy
for the coming few months.
Mr.. Bryan raised the bugaboo of
Soviet Russia, England and even
France in order to force Wall Street
itself in line. The object of his APP
peal was to convince Wall Street
that in it's own interest it ought to
slow up with Davis and let the con-
ventlon 90 ahead with picking some
one whose reactionary hide was not
so thick. The great defender of the
Khan went ahead to declare that the
nomination Of anSsgne who could not
be labeled progressive would be
disastrous in the sense that II would
insure the rise of third party to
upset the two-party system on
which American capitalist govern
ment structure Is based.

cause IL meant a complete re-
pudiation of the policies of the
Grand Chief who has been the
mainstay of the LaFollette
movement.
In accordance with this decision,
the convention, despite the deter
mined opposition of President Warren
IS. Stone, chose Mr.. Wills of the
Brotherhoods Washington office to
serve on the McAdoo committee now
operating here.
Try to Hush 1t Up.
The adherents of Stone and LaFol-
lette have done their level best to
keep this matter a secret in order to
save the prestige of the labor leader
in the brotherhood.
But the feeling amongst many of
the railway officials is running strong.
They bitterly resent this attitude on
the part Of Stone.
One who has been highly instru.
mental in rounding up labor union Of
ficials for McAdoo and who has been
materially helpful in launching the
McAdoo boom has told me that there
are many labor men who are aching to
spill the beans against Stone, and that
it is only their fear of the dangerous
factional strife in the union that such
a move might cause that has prevent
ed them so far from making public the
action of the last convention of the

Strawberry Growers

We are in the market for
Strawberries and will this year
handle them under a revised me-
thod. We are not going to have
strawberry crates as in the past,
but a new model container. This
can will be more convenient to
the grower and to the packer as
well. 1t will also do away with
rehandling and in this way save
shrinkage. In dealing with us
there will be no crate to buy and
no handling charges. The price
of strawberries will be eight cent
per pound, shulled, at roadside,
and cash paid the following day.
We have contracted for about so
per cent of the strawberries on
the island, but hope more of the
growers will take advantage of
this opportunity. We know this
is the best offer Island growers
have received and we think they
should make the most of it.
