proper use of the potentiometer,

NEW YORK. Juno 2b.--A slender
man OF medium stature. gray-haired
and with piercinS. cold bite -y-s
took charge OF the Democratic ma
tional convention today. Many of the
thousands who attended the session
had never before seen the man who
lifted the lid" of Teapot Dome
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh Of Mon
tana-
There was as much interest in the
personality Of the man AZ there was
in his speech. He 10 known as q
tegrity and character. a successful
lawyer. an enemy OF great mining in
terests in his own state. He has been
mentioned as a possible selection for
the presidential nomination. Religion
has been the principal bar to aotive
interest in the suggestion. .
He was presented to the convention
as the man who uncovered the COR
ruption in the Republican admins
trat1on and thereby made the great
est issue in the coming campaign.
Docs Not Spare Coolidge.
In clear and penetrating voice Sen
ator Walsh proceeded to tell the dele
gates and the world just what he
thought of the Republicans in power.
He did not spare President Calvin
Coolidge in his arraignment. Even
the late Theodore Roosevelt was the
target for some OF his remarks
though he pictured that Republican
leader as somewhat whittier than his
successors.
Turning to the Harding regime,
Senator Walsh declared:
What galaxy-Forbes, Fall.
Daugherty, Jess Smith. Warrington.
Fielder, Darden. Kramer. with Roxie
Stinson and CASTOR B. Means in the
back ground
Next he paid his compliments to
President Coolidge. He said:
In nstead of excor1ating the un-
unfaithful public servants of whose
mIsdeeds the uttermost parts OF the
earth are not uniformed, to tho dis
grace of the nation as we'll as of
themselves. palliation is attempted in
the absurd observation. emanating
from the White House. that men are
involved who belong to both political
parties A charge characterized by
one of the few leading republican pa
perS that have declined to condor e
the onenSeS revealed as q paltry bit
of political Misrepresentation"
May Help McAdoo Boom.
In some quarters this was inter-
preted as In measure entering upon
the defense of William Gibbs McAdoo.
But IL it was, no mention was made
of that presidential candidate by
name.
The Democrats howled when Sena-
tor Walsh hkened the attitude of
President Coolidge toward the Senate
in his message denouncing the in
vestigation of Secretary Mellon of the

SMITH TRIES FOR QUICK WIN

ny WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.

NEW YORK. June 25.-There seems
York Democratic leaders to hurry
the convention proceedings along. De-
lay evidently is considered bad for
the forces which are trying to name
Smith. Smith will, of course be Nc
Adoo's chief antagonist in the early
voting. He is expected to defeat
McAdoo not later than the fifth bal
lot. Then if Smith has any chance 1t
will be upon quick rebound of SEN
timent for him that will come as Nc
Adoo fails and Smith begins to rise.
The Irish of all the cities in the
land, scattering minority units from
San Francisco to Boston, are expected
to rush to Smith. giving his boom
impetus which will carry him over,
if it ever goes. If Smith fails to win
McAdoo's decline Smith is doomed to
join McAdoo.
Loyalty to Wilson.
Another feature of the convention
was the fine display of loyalty for
Woodrow Wilson.
When Grover Cleveland died, in
1908, his farewell in the Democratic
convention came amid factional divi-
sions. which made at least half of the
convention SIT IN QiSdppfONlH6 ST.
lence. Bryan was in command OF the
Democratic party when Cleveland
died, but Wilson still is the leader of
his party today. and from the tomb he
holds more Democrats loyal to his
ideals than any man now living.
There can be no doubt that the
second line of attack upon Republi-
can forces will be from the Wilson
position. The Democrats in their
platform and their campaign will no
more be afraid to speak out the
words, league of nations" than Pat
Harrison was to use the word ''reac-
tionary" The taboo of four years
will be lifted from the phrase, and
we shall go into this campaign for
the league of nations with the Demo-
Gratis demanding our entrance and
the Republicans asserting they have
something equally good. The issue
that was supposed to be buried in
1920 will become the one live, con-
structive issue of the campaign Of
1924.
