world to q brotherhood of man, as she
led the other nations to victory in
1918.
Van Kirk is touring the country in
the interests of world peace. He be-
longs to no organization, but is act
ing independently, preaching the

 The third, or so-called Alabama plank is lengthy, reviewing the history of organizations of that character and making specific references to the know nothing party" of 1856. It declares that the democratic party openly op- posed the know >nothings" and that there is no reason now why it should not specifically oppose the Ku Klux Klan. e..
 Taking the floor under the same five minute limitation rule on speakers that obtained when the league was un- der discussion, William Jennings Bryan made a stirring address in opposition to naming the Invisible Empire in the party declaration.
 The great commoner declared that four years hence the klan organization will have been forgotten and he plead ed with the committee to avoid any ac- tion that would divide the democratic party. He said he could support no movement which would array one set of men against another.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The demo- cratic convention has met not to choose candidate but to name a president, and it behooves us to consider well the character of the man we name, declared John H. Holt, of the West Virginia delegation, today, in placing the name of John w. Davis, of that state, before the convention as candidate for the presidential nomination.
 During the coming election" he continued, "the American people will not vote their personal or party preju- dices, but their citizenship and in the hope of safeguarding and perpetuatlng institutions that have meant so much tc them, and will mean more to their children and to the, world. klans and creeds will be forgotten, and a. trium- phant democracy take up its march to victory" .s.-
 Denounces G. o. P. Failure
 Mir. Holt denounced the republican rarty for it's failure to lower taxes, de- claring the administration needed as much money in time of profound peace as Woodrow Wilson required to wage world war;" for petty politics, Tn the department of justice, and for its efforts to destroy or weaken the Amer ican navy, our only hope of security and best hope of peace"
 Tn this country, of all others, and at this time, most of all, the people will demand, and the democratic party must find, a candidate who stands for America and understands her institu- tions, who along the lines of true pro- gressiveness, will strike the chains from industry and lift the leaden mace from of the breast of individual enterprise, to the end that young men and young women may go forth and forward with untrammeled hands in the development of this great country and the better ment of it's people, with the just ex- pectation of a proper reward for their personal initiative" .......'
 The democratic candidate must stand 'flat-fOoted on the Constitution in all it's parts and amendments" Mir. Holt declared. In his administration, he con-

KU KLIJX PLANK WOULD BE LEFT
 TO CANDIDATES
Majority Of Platform
 Committee Favors Pass ing Over Issue
fStaff Cnrrasnnndentl

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 27.-The ma jority of the members of the plat form committee would ignore the proposed Ku Klux Klan plank if they thought fight in the con- vention could be avoided.
 The majority, because of doubt as to the foregoing, are inclined to limit their aggression against the klan to reiteration of the religious liberty section of the constitution.
 The committee further is under stood to be considering the advis- ability of suggesting to the conven- ton that the plank regarding the klan be written after a presidential candidate is nominated, with the understanding that the candidate would have the power to get on the plank what he desired to get on.
 The committee further is understood to be considering the advisability of suggesting to the convention that the plank regarding the klan will be writ ten after a presidential candidate is nominated, with the understanding that the candidate would have the power to get on the plank what he desider to get on.
 Fight Is Certain
 The convention itself, is so turbulent in respect to the religious differences which prevail that there is no possible way, in the opinion of the most expert observers, to prevent a fight on the floor if the committee does not, in the proposed platform. denounce the klan by name. Inasmuch as it is held high ly probably that the committee will not refer to the ,klan by name, the fight is anticipated by. the several fac tions with delight and dread, as the case, affecting each, might be.
 A large following of W. G. McAdoo, it is indicated, would avoid the fight on the ground of its repeated declaration that it would not be salutary for the country were religious differences em- phasized in the campaign to the exclu- sion of almost everything else. The equally as large following of the other candidates want the klan denounced by name. This school of delegates holds that the issue for the good of the coun- try and the success of the party must be met in positive, uncompromising manner. This school alleges that the hlcAdoO .uelegaClonS WouIu aVOlQ the fight because the klansmen in the con vention are supporting the Californian's candidacy.
 Result Is Doubtful
 There has already developed such i'm tense bitterness that the fight, if it is joined, will be more passionately waged than any other to feature this convention of democrats. No one ven lures more than guess as to what the result would be-.
 To those who believe that ma ajority of the delegates favor the denunciation of the klan by name, doubt intrudes itself as to the result, nevertheless. This is due to the fact that William Jennings Bryan would take the stand and make his first convention speech against a proposed action, which he declares would be as intolerant as the klan,, by its enemies. is alleged to be.
 It is the most universal opinion that when the anti-klan tide is riding highest, MT. Bryan will endeavor to stem that tide by his passionate eloquence. He may or may not succeed, in the opinion of most observers.

Governor George S. Silzer of New Jersey was placed in nomination to- day flor the Presidency of the United States by John A. Matthews of New Mir. Matthews told the convention del egates Governor Silzer had proved a leader of incomparable value" and de- clared, 'that if we had such vigorous, such intrepid leadership at Washington when the thieves of our national re- sources were discovered in the very household, of the government, there would have been no platitudinous pronouncement that guilt would be pun ished regardless of party there would have been help wanted signs on the doors of the cabinet"
 f The Oil Situation
 Translate such craftsmanship" he said after describing the New Jersey governor's record in office, into the

oil situation at Washington. I could not of course have even remotely, imag- ined our governor sitting idly by while the very bowels of, our national do- main were bartered away. But were he to have only learned of the situation when he came to executive power, in stead of code telegrams and secret sec retarial pilgrimage we would have had summary removals instead of cowardly fence building, we would have had viz orous American prosecution.
 On the question of law enforcement, Mir. Matthews said: ss
 "There can be no law enforcement that is not a mere gesture where gov ernment is used to pay party debts; there can be no law enforcement which chases after the shadow of lawlessness while the substance of corruption taints the laws very source"

 In conclusion, Mir. Matthews assert ed that the New Jersey executive had all of the traits of availability of his competitors" and came with the man tie of victories of Cleveland and Will son, New Jersey sons, upon his worthy shoulders"

END ALL STRIFE, SWANSON URGES,
 OFFERING DAVIS
Asks Party To Obliterate Questions Of Sectional ..r. Differences

NEW YORK, June 27.-A call upon the democratic party to discharge "all factional, party and personal differ ences and obliterate forever all questions of sectional differences" was sounded by Senator Claude Swanson before the democratic national convention today when he placed the name of his col league, Senator Carter Glass of. Vir- ginia, in nomination for the Presidency. 7 'The democracy of Virginia" Senator Swanson said, moved by these hopeful anticipations and animated by patriot ism that is national and not local, has directed me to present for the high of izen, whom we hold to be the most avail most efficiently and satisfactorily dis charge the vast responsibility of that exalted office.
 For Public Honor
 With the lowering of governmental standards, with many looking to the government only as a means of self-en- richment, with unbridled corruption in high places, we need man who feels, as our fathers felt, that public honor is private honor, and public disgrace private disgrace, that public failure Is private failure, and that public sue cess is private success.
 We need a man whose conception is like that of Thomas Jefferson, that a life given absolutely to the service of the country, though it may end in fi- nancial bankruptcy, is far preferable to a life devoted to the accumulation and employment of wealth.
 We need a man too honest to be corrupted, too right and too brave to be coerced by demagogues, who will keep the temple of our government free alike from the greedy money changers and the plundering rabble. present to you, as measuring up to all these needs, Carter Glass of the Old Domin- ion."
 Reviews Career
 Senator Swanson reviewed his col leagues long service in the House, where he fathered the federal reserve act, his service in President Wilson s cabinet and his activities as a member of the Senate, He described MT. Glass as a liberal and progressive without being destructive radical" with a sym pathy for labor, and agriculture.

tinued, there must be no room or hid ing place for crooks. He must stand for a navy that will uphold the Monroe Doc urine and command the peace of the world.
 Simple Tax Machinery
 Give us a man who will rescue the department of justice from the scorn of an indignant people, protect the pub lie domain with the flaming sword of common honesty, relieve the people from unnecessary taxation, and, in heavens name simplify the machinery by which these taxes are levied and col lected. If the rules and regulations now in vogue emanate from the so- called best minds of the present admin istration, let us in the future have a little less genius and little more common sense.
 Our candidate must strike the shack les from business and hold the scales at equipoise between capital and labor.
