ROBINSON URGES
 TAX CUT PLANK
Arkansan Sets Forth Pol icy He Believes Party
 Should Adopt

NEW YORK, June 24.-Senator Robinson of Arkansas, whom former Governor Brough will nominate for president at the democratic national convention, set forth tonight at testl- monial banquet in his honor what he considered the blanks his party should incorporate in it's platform. He said {:
 "The main subjects to be given promi- hence include honest administration of the federal government; further reduc- tion of taxation with particular refer ence to inheritance or estate taxes and surtaxes on incomes; straightforward and conscientious restraint and proven tion of monopoly; legislation to secure equality of rights and opportunities for all citizens; prompt reduction in tariff taxes for lowering the cost of living and improving the foreign trade; substan- tial reduction in freig!-t rates and the elimination of the Pullman surtaxes i; strengthening the cooperative marketing system; the establishment of sound methods of financing agricultural ex- port and for the improvement of for eign market conditions.
 Tt is fair and just to accord agricul- ture relief from the present disturbed conditions, comparable to that which in emergencies has been granted other in dispensable industries. Ill-considered paternalistic schemes are to be disca rded because in the end they win result in more injury than benefit"
 At the speakers table were 13 Unit ed States senators, four governors and other public officials, including Mayor Hylan of New York.

TWO CONTESTS AREDISPOSED OF
 BY COMMITTEE
Oregon Woman Denied Seat And Minnesota
 Case Dismissed

NEW YORK, June 24. - Contests from Minnesota and Oregon were dis posed of in a colorful session tonight of the committee on credentials of the democratic national convention. Spon- sors of third petition from Pennsyl- vania failed to appear to state their case and the committee voted no con- test.
 Protracted debate and seasons of in- volved parliamentary wrangling marked the committee hearings, which were resided over by a feminine organiza- tion-Mrs. Leroy Springs of South Carolina as chairman, and Miss Dar- den Moose of Arkansas, as secretary.
 Eleven delegates, one less than half of the delegation, were involved in the Minnesota contest in which Mrs. An gie V. Kingsley, chairman of the Hen nepin county (Minneapolis) democratic central committee, branded the Mime sota state convention which selected the delegation as boss controlled, boss ridden and illegal"
 WOud Unseat Four
 She asked that the four delegates at large, the delegates from the fourth, fifth and tenth districts, and Ray G. Harrington, of the seventh district, be unseated. z. H. Austin, a member of the democratic state central commit tee, joined in the petition, but was not present in person before the commit tee.
 Representatives of the certified dele gates responded that the contested county delegations had been passed up- on by large majorities in the state con- vention. L. w. H. Hodges, commit tee member from Louisiana, suggested that "the internal political sQuabbles of Minnesota" were not within the jurisdiction of the national cOnven- tion and a motion to dismiss the con test carried almost unanimously.
 The, Oregon difficulty, viewed by the contestants as involving the organiza- tion of the delegation and to a large degree the McAdoo fortunes in the Oregon balloting, resulted in the seat ing of Judge Burke as alternate for gate at large.
 Woman Was Certified
 Miss Claire Pierce, daughter of Governor Pierce, has been certified by the state central committee as Myers alternate and the contest was on the question of with whom rested the power to name the alternate.
 The decision in favor of Judge Burke is regarded as having nullified the Oregon convention caucus today in which John Stevenson of Portland was named chairman after four delegates had bOlted and the delegation now is faced with the task of organizing anew, with five votes on the side of Steven son and five on the side of the bolting faction, headed by Charles A. Carter of Freewater, and Mrs. Alexander Thompson, of Portland.
 Will R. King, national committee man-elect, argued for the seating of Judge Burke, charging that the move to seat Miss Pierce was a subterfuge to weaken the McAdoo strength on the delegation. The vote to sAat Judge Burke was 20 to IA.

ANTI-KLAN MEN SUREOF VICTORY
 IN OPEN FIGHT
Closed Farley Only Thing Feared By Enthu-
 siasts
By HERBERT COREY { Especial To The Age-Herald.) )

NEW YORK, June 24.-Fireworks start Wednesday. So far the powder has been wet, for this has been, para doxically, both A dull and lively con- vention. Dull because it is almost lost in New York. The band contests, red fire, parades of delegates, shouting of rooters, have been missing, the big town deadens the show. Lively because it is any mans race, with a possibility that the lucky may not have appeared yet in the news. Hot under the sur face because of the intensity of the fire over the klan. A religious and radical issue has been rejected in a political convention. We all know what such issues do to good temper.
 Lacks Manslaughter
 The first days session was filled with counterfeit enthusiasm. Not that the enthusiasm was missing. That isn't my meaning. But this is a wise crowd. formal proceedings must be gone name. Pat Harrison's sharp points, Mayor Hylan's appearance. The stand ards were toted around as they always put lnC CuCCl1uS 4dCACu9 lhC crash and cackle that will come when the fighting begins. It was good na- tured and will ing but it lacked man. slaughter.
 a, Governor Ritchie of Maryland began to be heard from in the Hobbies. That means nothing as yet. McAdoo and Smith must be eliminated-as old timers believe they will be eliminated before the mention of any other candi- dates name will have any real meaning. The thing that every one is talking about is klan and anti-klan. That is the outstanding issue of the convention. There win be a league plank and a labor plank and plenty of other blanks, but the battle comes on the klan.
 Seeing Red
 The professionals are soft-pedalling and pussyfooting whatever they feel toward the klan they think an attack is bad politics But the anti-klans- men have blood in their eyes. They see red. Such men as Underwood say it must be fought out on the floor. With such big delegations as New York, Illinois and Ohio backing them, there is no way to keep them from making good. They say
 Tn the open we can win. Only be- hind closed doors can they beaut us"
 Each delegation has been sounded. Whether the figures are reliable or not, the important fact is that the feud will go to the floor with whatever conse- quences that may entail. There are some who argue that a re-alignment of American parties may follow. With the republicans conservative and LaFOllette radical, they urge that it isn't in demo- cratic nature to play in the dust of the middle of the road. They urge break ing of new ground in an issue that has assumed greater importance since this convention began than it ever had be- fore.

perched close to the open windows that rank behind the galleries on the north ern and southern sides of the old as- sembly place alone escaped the furnace like air of the draped holl that kept fans and straw hats waving vigorously on platform and floor throughout the brief opening session in vain efforts to stir up little cooling breeze.
 But nobody minded trifles like that. Democrats from north, south, east and west were assembled again after four mighty busy and eventful years. If anybody in the packed ranks of the party's official and very large family thus damned together in brief reunion had the slightest doubt that what he or she was here for was to select the next president of the United States, that he or she kept the fact to him. self or herslf

NEW YORK. June 24.-The name of Woodrow Wilson again was the spark that fired the magazines of demo- cratic enthusiasm and sent the parties 1924 convention rearing on it's way today.
 Once again, as four years ago in San Francisco, a mighty chant of ap- proyal swept up from the crowded floor as his name fell from the lips of a party spokesman. But this time it was a greeting to a leader, dead and at peace amid his honors. Four years ago, it was to a stricken. painracked chieftan prisoned in the White House by his infirmities.
 Nothing Of Sadness
 Yet there was nothing of sadness in the uproar his name evoked today. From the moment the vast oval of Madison Square Garden began receiv- ing it's great company of men and wom- en' of democratic faith, long before Chairman Hull banged down his gavel to begin the writing of new chapters in party history, there was a little touch of rollicking mood abroad among the delegates that augurs, perhaps, of wild times to come. The seats filled slowly; the galleries, remote in the vast hall never were entirely occupied. There were whole banks of empty seats behind the clustering thousands of flags along the gallery rails that make the hall a riot of red and white and blue.
 At the various headquarters the struggle for tickets went on even after the convention was in session and the air of half the country was pulsating with radio waves that bore the sounds of its doings to far listerners-in. Be- lated ones came steaming in,s sclutching the tickets so dearly won by argument and pleading even up the moment when Temporary Chairman Pat Harrison de clared the recess for the day in memory of Woodrow Wilson.
 Literally Steaming
 And they were literally steaming, those late arrivals for it was hot in the f1ag-crowded hall with blaze of sunlight pouring down through an acre of glass overhead. The lucky few
