Montana Senator Says Stand

BY BURTON X. WHEELER.
United States Senator from Montana

Copyright, 1924, by International
News Service.
NEW YORK. June 26.-Two vital
problems, peaceful settlement Of
which viii decide Democratic sue
cess in November, came to the fore
front in the national convention to-
day.
One was the fight Of the progress.
s1ves against reactionaries over the
selection Of a Democratic standard
bearer, and the other was the injec-
ton Of the Ku Klux Khan issue in
the consi ration Of a party plat
form.
The Khan issue was raised despite
the hope Of many delegates that it
would be sidetracked. It was APP
parent that the progressive forces
in the convention are in a vast ma
Jortty, and it was just as apparent
that special interests were encourag-
Ing the move to bring the Klaa
issue to the foreground for the pur.
pose Of splitting the progressive
strength.
Every representative Of special
privilege, every boodler and every
one seeking to destroy the chance
OF democracy in the November cleo
ton Is here stirring up bitterness
ana hatred between the progressive
groups in the followers of both
William G. McAdoo and of Governor
AL Smith, in the hope of destroying
the progressive influence in this
convention.

couraged and spurred on to make
the khan the paramount issue in
the convention by the boodler.re-
actionary-standpat element, who
know no religion, no racial pride
and no party
The McAdoo forces are liberal,
most Of the Smith followers are
liberal and there is q scattering of
favorite sons with liberal followings.
II these liberal forces have the good
sense to concentrate upon any one
progressive candidate, they can
sweep the nation with their candi.
date. The reactionary forces at
work on the convention are not
honestly for either McAdoo or
Smith. They are encouraging the
candidates. of several favorite sons
merely for the purpose Of dividing
the progressives.
The convention, I feel, is made
up of men and women eager to
nominate progressive and an ag-
gressively honest candidate but their
strength is being rapidly shattered
by injection of the racial and re-
ligious issue by the selfish interests.
BY this move, the reactionaries
hope to nominate a standpatter,
who will be subservient to their
wishes.
The Wall street group then will
say to the voters of America, "pay
your money, take your choice be-
tween a reactionary Republican and
O reactionady Democrat. whoever
wins, the people lose"
> It is the same old story, the same
old game, played in the same old
way, and unless tne progressive

to be controverted that Davis and
Ralston have more potential strenth
in the convention than any other
pair Of starters.
Tom Taggart Waiting.
Taggart is playing a shrewd and
calculating waiting game. He is
friendly with both the McAdoo
and Smith managers, as well as
being extremely affable with every
delegate, great and small.
He has Kept himself and his can.
didate sedu1ously aloof from the re-
ligious bitterness involved in the
khan fight, and the whole platform
fight in general. He has advised
delegates who came to him to talk
estructions, whether those instruc-
tons be for McAdoo, Smith, Glass,
Cox, Silzer, Richie, or any OF the
other favorite sons.
He is simply waiting the deadlock
between McAdoo and Smith that he
believes to be as certain as tomor-
rows sun, and for the opposition
to develop against ]. w. Davis be-
cause Of the West Virginian's cor
porate connections.
Senator Ralston, meanwhile is be-
ing kept in his rural setting in IN
diana, unassailed and unassailable
because he is the only real candi-
date who is not here in New York
becoming involved in the rows,
fights and scraps that feature this
epochal Democratic gathering.
Walsh Or Dever Next.
II Smith ia beaten. Il Is regarded

Presidential nomination will go to

or wrongly, the party leaders here
believe that If Smith is turned down
1t will be impossible to convince
some 100000 Catholics in the
country that he was rejected be.
cause Of his religion. And they
don't want that, particularly in
view Of the fact that Catholics are
a dominant factor in the Democratic
party Of the North, New York and
Massachusetts, especially.
Walsh's friends were noticeably
active today in his behalf. They
were ostensibly aiming. Of course
at the presidency, but their eyes
strayed too frequently at second
place.
Not only walsh's own friends.
hut party leaders in general. feel
that the oil investigator would
bring a great amount of support
to the ticket, particularly from
the West.
The more optimistic among the
leaders here were inclined to be-
lieve today that the convention can
be wound up by Saturday night or
early Sunday morning, but they
were noticeably in the minority.
And the pessimistic ones were pre-.
dieting the show will run far Into
next week.
There was a poor prospect Of the
Platforms being ready for the con.
vention before tomorrow at the
earliest. And whichever way the
platform committee goes on the
khan issue, 1t Is considered certain
to be fought from the floor. And
1t will be fight, not skirmish
for stage purposes, IL things run
true to form. The feeling over it is
bitterly strong.
If the platform can be disposed of
by Saturday noon, the convention
managers will be well pleased.
And after that will come the ex-
pected deadlock over the nonina-
ton, as we'll as the selection Of a
vice presidential candidate.
One guess is as good as another
as to how long these tasks will take.
