.M'ADOO IMPLORES HIS HENCHMEN
 TO STAND FAST
Effort To 'Becloud Issues Laid To New York
 Press
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER. (By Leased Wire to Age Herald.

NEW YORK, June 22.-"Stand Fast" William G. McAdoo implored his supporters in a speech before a mass meeting at the Vanderbilt hotel, Sum day night.
 Declaring united front would de- feat those who are seeking to defeat the McAdoo candidacy by '.beclouding the issues," McAdoo attacked the New York newspapers and charged they were seeking to misrepresent his cam paign.
 McAdoo outlined ten points of his platform, beginning with an attack on corruption and graft. The Real Issue
 He referred to the Ku Klux Klan only by inference, declaring his oppo- nents were raising racial and re- hgious issues to prejudice popular gov ernment" The real issue, he said, was progressive democracy against reaction.
 If we stand fast they can't beat us from now to doomsday," he told his packers.
 McAdoo's speech was a reply to the effort which New York newspaper have made to create an atmosphere hos tile to him and to counteract reports that his delegates, after voting for him on few initial ballots, would turn to second choice.
 McAdoo outlined his platform as fol- lows:
 T. To rid the government of spe- cial privilege, corruption and graft, and to prosecute all persons guilty of conspiracy to defraud the government.
 "2. To remove the influence of in visible government from the treasury and the federal reserve system.
 "3. To repeal the Fordney- -McC Cum Der tariff, which taxes the common people for the benefit of special inter- ests, and to substitute tariff bill which will held reduce the cost of liv- ing.
 A. To repeal the obnoxious features of the Esch-Cummins railroad act ant to set up instead a measure for railroa,

NEW YORK, June 22.-Recognizing the probability of prolonged sessions the democratic national convention man agers have only arranged a tentative program for the first three days. These arrangements will carry the machinery of the convention past the adoption of the platform and to the beginning of the nomination for President. After that the program will be dictated by the events.
 In order to give the platform commit tee plenty of time for its work the plan is to hear the nominating speeches for President while the committee is working then to adopt the platform and then proceed to the balloting for nominations. This same plan was fol- lowed in San Francisco four years ago.
 The tentative program for the first three days is as follows:
 FIRST DAY
 Convention called to order by Chair man Hull.
 Invocation by Cardinal Hayes. Official photograph
 Brief address by Chairman Hull. Reading of the official call for the convention.
 Recommendations for temporary off cers and their election.
 A committee will escort Senator liar rison, temporary chairman, to the plat form.
 At this point, Chairman Hull expects 10 ask the convention whether it de sires Senator Harrison to deliver the ad- dress or take recess until night. Should the address he postponed, Chairman Hull expects the convention to proceed with organization by the adoption of rules and the reference of resolutions to the committee on plat forms and resolutions. Should the con. vention insist upon speech being de. livered immediately, the organization will follow the speech.
 Adoption of n resolution providing for the organiza tion of committees on resolutions, credentials, permanent or. ganizations, rules and order of business to notify nominee for President, to no. tify nominee for vice president, and statement of time and place of meeting
 Transaction of sundry miscellaneous l business.
 Adjournment.
 SECOND DAY Convention called to order by Senator Harrison.
 Prayer.

and sea armaments to the lowest point compatible with national safety.
 =. To protect the natural resources of the nation, particularly water pow CTS.
 ''S. To abolish child labor and estab- fish equality of rights, civil, economic and social for women.
 "9 To practice genuine economy in government, and progressively reduce taxes to the lowest basis consistent with efficient government and Justice to de- serving employees in the public service.
 "10. To vigorously enforce all laws.y
 Referring to the attitude of the New York newspapers, ,McAdoo declared he was confident these clumsy attempts to becloud the issue are quite futile.. New York, he reminded his audience, was the- seat of an invisible govern ment," reactionary and interruptions and represented by the forces of if nance and industry.
 His opponents, McAdoo declared, were setting up .,.straw man issues.n But McAdoo predicted that his deli gates would remain behind him just as the delegates of Woodrow Wilson had stayed with him at Baltimore, de- spite the enemy's efforts to wear them down.

 Adoption of rule limiting nominating speeches for President to 20 minutes and seconding speech to five minutes and limiting latter to three in number, also limiting nominating speeches for vice president to ten minutes for each nominee and seconding speeches to five minutes and not to exceed two in num- Der.

 THIRD DAY
 Convention called to order by Sena- tor Walsh.
 Prayer.
 Announcements by the secretary.
 Call of states for candidates for presidential nominee.
 After the nominating speeches have been made the convention will pro ceed to the adoption of platform.
 From this point the program is in definite.
 It seems probable that Ill the nomi- mating speeches in prospect may not be delivered in one day or night ses. sion may be decided upon. After nominating speeches have been disposed of, the adoption of the plat form becomes the order of business, and if there be a contest on the floor on any of the blanks, as now seems prob able, consideration of the platform may consume the sessions of an etire day and night.
 The platform out of the way, they will proceed to the balloting for the presidential nominee. Estimates of the number of ballots which will be taken before an agreement is reached run all the way from ten to fifty. Nominations for vice president vii be made after the first place on tht ticket is filled.

that President Coolidge has done nothing to indicate that he either cared or comprehended.'
 In the League of Nations plank drafted by former Justlce Clarke, the democratic party "renews it's decla- ration of confidence in the ideal of world peace and in a League of Ma tions and a whole court of justice to- gether affording the only practicable means of realizing that ideal by sub stituting cooperation and justice and law for strife and force and war among nations"
 If the democratic party wins in No vember, it is pledged in the Clarke plank to bring the United States into the league and the world court on such terms as the administration and the Senate may consider necessary to adapt. these two institutions to our pc culiar national situation and needs, provided only that they be consistent with our Constitutio nand with the dignity and character, the moral re- sponsibliity and power of our repub- lie"
 In an address at the Church of Heavenly Rest here Sunday night, Clarke declared American entrance to the league was demanded by moral, economic and political reasons.
