Thomas J. Walsh injected today an eloquent plea for
unity Of purpose that will "eturn the ideals of

He dealt gently and reverenty with the late President

would be immediate abandonment Of "that foolish an

No greater opportunity has ever been afforded the

throw out of control Washington the mpoten greedy

McAdoo is fighting grimly to hold
his undeniable lead. In half a dozen
States, where his margin OF control
is slight, the Smith managers, the
Davis boomers, and the Ralston

What success has attended their
efforts is problematical, but on the
surface they appear to be making
some progress. McAdoo's managers
admitted today they have lost a

NEW YORK, June 25-The
fate of the Democratic party in
the 1924 campaign was virtually
at stake today when an inner
circle Of fourteen master minds
met to draft an official platform
for submission to the national con.
vention.
The platform conferees faced
one of the bitterest fractional
fights in the history of the party
over the adoption Of Ku Klux
Khan and League Of Nation
planks.
All hope Of settling the issues
peacefully in secret session were
abandoned after the opposing fac
tions formally served notice they
would carry their fights to the
convention floor if defeated in the
committee deliberations.
The actual drafting Of the Of
fictal platform was given over to
the fourteen party chieftains by the
full platform committee. Their
recommendation must first pass
the test of the full committee before
a final verdict is rendered by the
convention itself.
The conferees were Homer L
