SHOALS PLANK i. NOT TO MENTION
 FORD PROPOSAL
Would Be hndorsed But For Fact Author De-
 clared For Coolidge
(By Staff COrrespOndent)

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 27.-If Henry Ford, having played with the heart strings of the democratic party, had not declared for the reelection of President Coolidge, the platform ulti- mately to be adopted by this conven- tion would contain plank declaring for the acceptance by Congress of the Ford offer. for Muscle Shoals.
 It was regarded by the majority of the members of the committee, however, ass incongruous to write, in the platform of4party principles the name of ,an in disidual who was urging the defeat of the democratic ticket.
 The Muscle Shoals plank will declare for the complete development of Muscle Shoals for the production of fertilizer.
 It will be regarded as innocuous in- asmuch as there is in Congress no op- position to the provision it contains, and will receive the commendation of as many republican members as demo- cratic members. Had the Ford offer been adopted as plank, a real con troversy would have been precipitated of advantage to the party, as it is gen. erally known the farmers of the west are as enthusiastic for the Ford offer as the farmers of the south.
 Mrs. W. B. Edmondson of Decatur, who sometime ago in Washington, caused a sensation by reviving the kissing episode in which Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, was involved, appealed to the committee for the Ford offer, as did Gray Silva of the American farm bureau federation.
 The members of the Alabama delega- tiou who reside on the banks of the Tennessee, are disappointed that the Ford offer is not approved by name.
 They are reconciled, however, by the fact that Muscle Shoals, once generally ignored, is now of sufficient fame to intRude itself into a national platform.

SMITH COHORTS ARE DENOUNCED

Declares New York Mad With Selfish Prop

By TMADDEUS H. CARAWAY { Copyright, 1924, for the Age. Herald)

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York, June 27.-Whether .or not the Democratic party is to be allowed to make a sane and considered selec- tion of a presidential nominee or of a platform upon which that nominee can go before the people is a question that trembles on the partisan scales in a .city mad with selfish propaganda in favor of local candidate.
 So far this convention has demon strated little except that to hold such meeting in city so universally. and pugnaciously .prejudiced in the inter- est of single candidate is almost flu. tile. Despite the presence here of 16 candidates of graduated prominence there has been effected single cleoy. age which divides this convention into but two factions.
 There are those who are for Al smith and those who are not and the Smith workers are battering down every other differentiating barrier in their mad efforts to seek out and con. vince men and women who came here tn

see for themselves and to determine their own choices
 It is embarrassing to the delegates. Each of them, who maintains the here tofore questioned privilege of at least treading the path of personal con- science until the balloting has prog ressed bit, is the focal point of an organized drive of influence.
 Merely Harasses
 This campaign of force and pressure is intended to win to the Smith candi- dacy the two-thirds ma jority which never can win, but the purpose it act ually serves is to harass and harry to the point of distraction.
 Revulsion at these blatant, untaste- ful methods of vote seeking is spread ing throughout the delegateship and the harm it already has accomplished for the candidacy of the New York governor is as nothing to the hurt it may do the convention.

nominated James Cox of Ohio, who has lot of running equipment left over from the last election. Charles chances look slim if he can't carry his own brother.
 Mfr. Baker called upon the delegates to live and work in the high spirit of 1776, 1881 and 1917. They applauded the idea of living but not the working. The band played "oh, Didn't He Ramble." It denied it was any refer ence to Mir. Bakers speech.
 At 8 o'clock it seemed that all the states had been heard from, including such was not the case.
 Not until nearly 6 o'clock was the roll completed. The delegates heaved q sigh when Alaska, Hawaii, the Phil ippines and the Canal Zone passed.
 The New Hampshire delegation nominated Fred H. Brown. Inquiry re- vealed Me. Brown is governor of New Hampshire and has been for some time. He may have chance. There must be as many Browns in this coun- try as fhere are Smiths. At one time in the proceedings a crayon portrait with the name Hull" On 1t was lowered from the gallery. One eye was thereA inches higher than the other. This gave h1s supporters to claim something for him that no other can didAte could boast.
 
 An Al Smith rooter at once moved one of. the eyes on his Al Smith banner up foot or two in case there is any stampede for that type.
 There was an air of confidence in all the camps at sunset Either that or it vas the poor ventilation. ,. Virginia staged A big demonstration for Carter Glass.

LADY DELEGATES STRONG AGAINST
 WASTING SHEETS
May Pull Hair And Slap Faces When Klan
 Fight Breaks
By MAXINE DAVIS Copyright 1024.l

NEW YORK, June N-White hoods and shrouds are not popular with the ladies. They think it's no way to waste sheets.
 Feminine delegates to the democratic national convention, are almost unani- nous in eondemning something they are not invited to join and are ready to fight, for a good strong anti-ku klux Klan plank. ..re
 Even in states where the sentiment is largely divided, the women stand solidly for an emphatic expression of opinion on the secret order, although they are hesitant about announcing 1t.
 Lead Opposition
 The women took the lead In an nouncing their position on the klan when Mrs. Franklin Roosevelts wom- ems advisory committee, composed of the leading women in public welfare and civic activities in the country, wrote a strong anti-klan plank into the platform they presented to the resolu- tions committee, although they did not call the organization by name.
 Texas has sent strong klan dele gatlon to the convention ana here the women stand by their menfolk, present ing the argument that the democratic party has no right to have any opinion whatever on any individual organiza' tion.
 McAdOO Woman Joins
 Mrs: Kellogg Fairbank, of Chicago, Q McAdoo woman, joins the other women of her delegation in opposing the klar and the Ohio delegation has it's women lined up solidly for a vigorous anti klan statement.
 Politicians are speculating on just what part the women will play if thu fight is carried to the floor. Whether they will be able to make themselve: heard above a. possible uproar, ol whether they will have to resort tt ancient feminine tactics of hair pullini and face skipping is wondered.
 Hatpins, fortunately, are out O. style.
