in the North Carolina delegation
over possession Of the state stand
ard when a demonstration was start
ed in the democratic convention over
reference to the religious issue by
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas, per-
manent chairman.
Half a dozen police broke through
to quell the row once, but it broke
out again a moment later and the
North Carolina standard was broken
to pieces in the struggle. The po-
lice used their black jacks. but there
seemed to be no bloodshed.
Five police finally were swinging
black jacks and clubs in attempts to
stop the fight and the state parade
was almost broken up as the battle
ragged in the front aisle just before
the speakers stand.

Preference Of James Eads How,

pals Of the road rather than his
own fireside and a dinner cooked
By his wife is set forth in the d.

The suit charges that the wealthy
man would rather live the life of
a hobo than make home "and live
there in decency and cleanliness"
Not only that. according to Mrs.
How, but he tried to convert her
also to the hobo's life.
The suit discloses that the "mil-

probably falls considerably short Of
that mark. The community prop

also has an income that varies
from $500 to $500 month from an

CHAIRMAN
Warning Against Wet
Plank Sounded and
Plea Is Made For
Farm Aid Program

HOUSTON, Tex, June Ex-senator
Joseph t. Robinson Of Arkansas as
sailed the republican administration
of the last seven years, warned
against inclusion Of a wet" plank
in the democratic platform, and made
a bid for farm support in his speech
accepting the permanent chairman
ship of the democratic national con-
vention here today.
The text is as follows:
The responsibility as well as the
honor associated with the chairman
ship Of this convention is fully recog-
nized. The obligation to serve with
patience and impartiality is readily
acknowledged. Seldom, if ever, have
the Representatives of the national
democratic party gathered under
more impressive conditions. We face
a notable political crisis. The exer-
else of sound judgment and common
sense in the nomination of candidates
and the demonstration of fidelity to
recognized party principles constitute
a sane way to harmonic our differ.
ences and are essential to success in
the approaching campaign.
airy -utrciDH
The democratic party has a mission
which has not materially changed
since the days of jefferson. The ne.
cessity for political reform is greater
now than ever before. Our party
from its birth, has safeguarded the
rights of the masses. 1t has cham
pioned personal liberty and opposed
Capitalization. Jefferson sought tC
protect the unselfish against the en-.
ployment of laws and government
agencies for private profit.
Jackson aroused the public to the
menace of plutocracy. Cleveland
voiced resentment at the abuse of the
taxing power to enrich favored
groups by the exploitation Of the
masses. Wilson defined snew the
democratic ideals Of justice and
equality. Since its formation the
democratic party has labored to es.
tablish the doctrine that the funda-
mental function of government is tc
secure equality of rights and oppor.
tunities for all citizens.
In this campaign the republicans
cunningly seek TO raise false issues
through which to win their way bach
into public favor.

the last seven years is indefensible
from any standpoint. For corruption

WALKER Wins
RULES FIGHT
Nominating Speeches
To Precede Action
On Platform

HOUSTON, Tex, June 27.-tPJ-
The democratic conventions COM
mittee on rules and order Of bus
mess threatened to split wide open
on the wet and dry issue today until
Mayor James Walker of New York,
his states representative on the COM
mittee, stepped in with persuasive
eloquence and turned charges Of
steam rolling" into a unanimous
vote for the resolution he had pre-
sented.
The committee finally adopted the
New York resolution which placed
the presentation of candidates for
the presidency before the report of
the platform makers. the point upon
which Judge N. A. Morris, Of Geor-
gia, chairman OF the rules commit
tee, and Mayor Walker divided. With
the mayors consent mis- resolution
was altered to bring out the five
minute speeches of nomination sec
onders only on the call Of the roll
Of states.
The debate developed heat early,
Judge Morris demanding that the
platform issue be disposed Of first
as the real issue of the eonven-
tion and the presidential candidates
presented later"
II. o. Everett, of North Carolina,
chosen as secretary of the commit
tees, sounded a note Of warning OF
coming strife on the convention floor
as he addressed himself TO tine
Smith people" He said: The only
possible basis upon which YOU and
we Of the South can get together
is for you to name the candidate and
for US TO write his platform. II
this is not done there is going to
be a real fight in the convention
on the wet and dry matter"
Lynch Davidson Of Texas followed
with the opinion that "there is 60
ing TO be a Kilkenny cat fight in
the convention over the prohibition
question. To my sorrow IT seems IN
evitable that Governor Smith will be
nominated. I have seen no evidence
of the steam roller tactics mention
ed here. But | do believe the can
didate should know on what plat
form he is expected to stand before
be is nominated"
New York's mayor assumed the
mantle of peacemaker with the stG.e-
ment, II hope that he convention
will end in the same good temper IN
which il opened
"The order Of business was fix
ed IS it was in my resolution for
