Democrats Ring Wet,
State Platform Shows:
Full G. q. II. Harmony
Stokes as Peacemaker Brings
Together Different Factions
of N. ]. Republican Party
ARE NOW ALL FOR EDGE
Organization Is Completed
Platform Draft Submitted
Honors for Senator Larson

TRENTON, Oct. There Is more
harmony in the ranks of the Repub-
lican party In New Jersey today than
there has been for months. Thanks
to the deft handling of State Chair
man Stokes yesterdays session of
the state convention was turned into
somewhat of love-feast and al
though there are still smouldering
fires beneath the surface, at least for
the present campaign there is to be
cooperation by all the leaders for
the election of Coolidge, Dawes,
Edge and the rest of the ticket.
Among those who yesterday
pledged their loyalty to the senior
senator in his campaign for re-elec-
tion were Hamilton. T. Kean and
former Senator Joseph S. Freling-
huysen. Indirect promises of sup
port came from Mrs. Lillian f.
Feickert, of Somerset, vice chairman
of the state committee; Mrs. Lewis
S. Thompson, of Monmouth, member
of the national committee, and in a
telegram from former speaker of
the House George S. Hobart, promi-
nent Anti-Saloon League leader from
Essex.
The stage-manager of this har-
mony play was Mr.. Stokes, who had
Firman NJ. Reeves, of Cumberland,
presiding over the convention call
upon the different ones mentioned
for an address in which they
pledged their support. State Sena-
tor Emerson L. Richards, Atlantic
county colleague of Edge and who is
still at odds with the senior senator
because of the latter's failure to
whole-heartedly support the home
county organization in its local
fights for several years, was even
included in the Stokes scheme of
welding together the party ma
chinery.
The state chairman sent a mes
sage to Reeves to name Richards
with Senator Bright, of Cape May,
as the committee of two to escort
the senior senator to the platform to
make his address. When the COM
mittee was named Mr.. Richards was
unaware CT the move but accom-
panied Bright to where Edge was
sitting and proceeded up the con-
vention aisle with the senatorial
candidate. The delegates quickly
caught the significance of the move
and there was a good-natured laugh
all around the hall. Richards and
Edge, somewhat abashed. joined in
the humor of the situation.
In his address Mr.. Edge sensed
the movement for cooperation and
thanked both his supporters at the
primaries and his opponents for
their expressions of good will made
since the victory he won. He said
he stood four-square on the Cleve-
land platform of the party. but
recognized that he differed with
many of his Republican friends one
issue, meaning his stand for a
change in the Volstead act.

GERMANY'S LOAN ACTION
PROGRESSING FAVORADLY Y

LONDON, Oct. 1 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The negotiations be-
tween DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, presi-
dent of the Reischsbank, and the
American, British and Continental
bankers, in connection with the issu-
ance of the loan to Germany under
the Dawes reparation plan, have
proceeded so rapidly during the past
three days that only final settle
ment of details, including apportion-
ment among the various financial
capitals of the loan, remains to be
worked out, 1t was learned authori-
tatively today.
While nothing definite has as yet
been arranged, it is considered prob
able that the American share will
be in the neighborhood of 500, 0,000,-
900 but the actual amount cannot
be determined until the British
Dutch. Swiss and Swedish bankers
ascertain finally the amounts they
can handle.
In accordance with the wishes of
a considerable number of European
finaneiers who are concerned with
the issuance of the loan 1t is con-
sidered probable that it will be is
sued in two denominations-the dol
lar and the pound.

Leaders Agree on Soaking
Wet Stand, Receiving Ap-
provaI of Hague and SiIzer
HARMONY FOR THE PARTY
kIan to Be Denounced-Heher
Is Re-eIected-SiIzer Con-
fers with Hague and Others

TRENTON. Oct. 1.--When the
Democratic state convention recon-
venes in the Stacy-Trent hotel here
Tuesday next, the committee on res
oultions headed by James r. Nugent,
of Newark. will present draft plat
form calling for repeal of the state
Hobart prohibition law. branding the
Volstead act and Hobart law as fam
atica1 legislation and demanding that
congress permit legalization of light
wines and beer.
The plank has the endorsement of
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
yice-chairman of the national COM
mittee: Governor Silzer and State
Chairman Harry Heher. each having
a part in phrasing the plank. 1t
embodies all the ideas advanced by
Democratic State Leader Alexander
Simpson of Hudson, who attended
the convention and advocated the
repeal of the Hobart law.
Soaking Wet Sand
Next in public Importance to the
soaking wet" stand of the Demo-
Gratis Is the outspoken and vigorous
denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan,
which the resolutions committee will
present to the convention Tuesday
next. On the advice of Hague. Sill
zer and Heher. the plank was so
phrased to point out that the Klan.
branded as un-American. is opposed
to the Catholic. Jew and Negro and
foreign-born citizens attaining polit-
ical honor in the United States.
The ague-Silzer-Heher anti-Klan
plank Is a combination of their ideas
on the subject. Plus a proposed plank
submitted by Senator Simpson. The
anti-Klan declaration while not con-
tanning Simpsons verbiage promises
enactment of legislation that will de-
stroy the Klan's supposed powers for
evil.
Democratic Harmony
Outstanding in the deliberations
of the convention was the harmony
of Hague. Silzer. Jim" Nugent,
United States Senatorial Candidate
Donnelly and the complete subser-
vence of delegates to the wishes of
Mayor Hague. The Democratic re-
turn to the soaking wet" attitude
is in contrast to the "pussy-footing"
of year ago when Governor Silzer,
a candidate for President or Vice
President had the party's platform
of 1923 toned down to attract dry
support from south and southwest
ern states. Silzer's ambitions being
temporarily shelved. the party once
again Is "wringing wet"
