BAKER APPEALS
FOR RETURN TO
!. WILSON POLICY
Name of James M,
Cox Before Democratic
Convention,
BIZ United Press

By United Press
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
NEW YOPH. June ga call to
the Demo. ratio convention to stick
TO the principles of Woodrow Viii
son and renominate James NJ. Cox
Of Ohio as presidential candidate
was sounded by Newton D. Baker
in a speech placing Cox in nomina-
ton before the Democratic conven
ton today.
There is nobility in a defeat when
it is but a temporary setback in the
assertion Of principles eternally
true" said Baker at the outset in
referring to the overwhelming ma
jority piled UP against Cox in the
last presidential election, when he
stressed the a~dvisability of Ameri-
can entrance into the Wilson League
Of Nations.
Fruits IF Waiting
Those who have suffered such a
defeat, when they meet again, know
that they are 500 to gather the
fruits Of their waiting and their
faith.
TN national affairs we can be
neither reactionary nor radical. but
we must, in both platform and can
didate, satisfy that liberal senti-
Mpent which knows that growth is
NE law Of life.
Our task is to make a program
so constructive and inclusive as Will
draw men away from the petty and
TrrNf1a ord 1axraNa 4ha-0 ac 0r71Cad-
ers are devoted, TO causes which are
intrinsicaIly worth while"
Referring in conclusion to the fit
ness of Cox, he said:
0hi0's FavOrite Son
'fOhic has searched her heart and
finds a favorite son whom she con
fdently bids Inc name. 1t would
abuse your patience to recite again
the achievements which once led tho
Democracy of America to send him
forth to preach her faith and you
will bear witness with me that he
carried that faith throughout the
country with such zeal, intelligence
and courage that even in defeat he
stood a knightly figure, catching up
his falling arms ere they touched
the ground to renew the contest
relentlessly Until a bare day in a
clear light when a light hope shall
win our unconqUerable purpose pre-
vail.
Without hesitation or wavering
he fought the long 1920 campaign,
debating with doubt, appealing to
our higher emotions, battling back
the tide of ills which, rising out OF
the chaos of the world, finally in
cluded US with the peoples Of
Europe as the children Of despair

KHAN HOBGOBLIN
D|STURBS SLEEP
OF DEMOCRATS
Rumor KIuxerS VIII Support
Senator RaISton as Sec
ond Choice.
BY LOWELL NELLIE
Times Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 27.-The hood
ed hobgoblin of the Khan continued
to blight proceedings of the Demo-
cratic national convention today. It
literally destroyed the sleep of the
platform trainers last night and
filled the dreams of all the candi-
dates with fevered fear.
Until 1903 a. m. the hfty-four mem
bers of the resolutions committee
worked to reconcile their differences
on the language that should be used
in expressing Democracy's distaste
for any organization that doesn't
keep its nightshirts in IT'S boudoirs.
At that unhappy hour the fifty
four threw up their hands and
passed the job back to the sub-com-
mittee which is drafting the planks.
This subcommittee had earlier
passed the buck TO the full commit
tee.
Anti-klansmen Determined
The anti-Klan leaders have not re
Tented from their purpose to carry
the war to the convention floor.
They have ceased to expect the sort
of plank they demand. one naming
the enemy by its three-K'd title. so
there may be no mistake about what
they mean.
They say they have more than
enough votes. This now seems un-
likely. Test votes in the resolutions
committee show only ten out Of the
hfty-four members now favor nam
ing the Khan. In the subcommittee
only three out of the eleven favor
it. The claim that there is a ma
jority of 120 votes on the other side
in the convention requires consider
able discounting.
Meantime. the Khan DOGGY has
bobbed up in another manner. Sto-
ries are filing the air that Klans-
men and Khan sympathizers have
decided to throw their strength to
Senator Ralston if it becomes ap-
parent that McAdoo cannot win.
Ralston is on record as unsympa-
thetic toward the Khan, notwith-
standing that the Khan in Indiana
asserts it is responsible for his vic
tory over Albert J. Beveridge.
Taggart DiSpleased
The reports are botherfng Tom
Taggart. Taggart wants all the votes
he a get for R~alston, but he doubts
the valueh ar this stage, of having
the Khan label affixed 10 the Hoosier
statesman.
IT would forever prevent the ad-
herence of Illinois and New York to
the Indiana standard. Even If it
made Ralston's nomination possible.
TagRart doesn't want his candidate
to carry the Khan handicap in the
coming campaign.
He would nike t have Ralston con
tinue as the candidate that nobody
has anything against. on this issue
as we'll as others. If he succeeds in
keeping the Senator out Of the Jam
now threatening. he viii deserve all
the admiring things said about his
g~eneralship.
