SILVER ADVOCATE
CHARGES GAG RULE
Says Resolutions Group at
Convention Barred Talk
of Monetary Reform.
BY the Associated Press.

ny tlc ASsoNAdtGa EIGS1s
CHICAGO, July 4. Compton I.
White. Democratic nominee for Con-
gress from the first district of Idaho, is
on record today with a charge that
the Resolutions Subcommittee of the
Democratic National Convention barred
its doors to any advocate of monetary
reform that included any plan touching
on silver"
AT heart the great majority Of the
delegates, with a few notable excep-
tions." White said in q statement, were
for silver. There was in the convention
an overwhelming sentiment for the
adoption of a constructive financial pro-
gram that would include the remoneti-
zation of silver.
That sentiment never was afforded
an opportunity for expression. A little
clique OF reactionary leaders captured
control of the powerful Resolutions
Subcommittee, instituted TO conduct
hearings and to give expression to party
sentiment.
The doors Of the committee rooms
were barred to any advocate Of none
tary reform that included any plan
touching on silver. All attempts to get
hearing by silver advocates were
barred
White said he believed that the silver
advocates, because Of lack Of orgsniza-
ton, lost great opportunity in the
convention to crystalize sentiment for
the only monetary reform that can lift
the country out of depression by en-
hancement and sterilization Of the
value Of silver"

True Picture Of Purpose

BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. July 4-The new Demo-
cratic platform was declared to be the
shortest party declaration in SO years
today by A. Mitchell Palmer, former
Attorney General, who whipped to-
gether the pieces.
1T is designed to present a true pic
ture of the purpose and capacity of the
Democratic party to deal with big prob>
lens in big way" he said. 1T con-
tains no historical illusions, indulges
in no abuse 1t does not mention the
Republican party nor the present occu-
pant of the White House.
We do not apologize for the brevity
OF this platform. We glory in it. If a
platform is to serve to acquaint the peo-
pie with our purpose. it must be read; to
be read, it must be short. If we are to be
successful in our honorable ambition to
serve our country in this crisis, our plan
must be understood; it must be in plain
and simple language, not negative, cir
cuitous or facing both ways.

in history as the last OF the old-fssh-

Still it was a sad sight" Mr. Gloom
admitted, "and l only seen one sad
der-the unhappy fate of my friend
from Indiana and their sister State Of
Illinois. When Roosevelt finished the
third ballet only 80 votes short they
saw their opportunity; they could put
him over on the fourth, and thus earn
the right to name a few ambassadors,

uppermost in the minds of Pennsyl-

Throughout the day, as their special
train sped eastward through the State,
the delegates speculated as to whether
the Governor-long a friend of Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt-would bolt the
Republican party and support the DEM

Il have nothing at all to say about
politics at this stage of the game" Pin
chot said last night at his Milford home.
Rumors that Pinchot would go over
to Roosevelt, which began to circulate
IN political circles last Winter. buzzed
anew this week when Senator George

Democratic nominee. Pinchot, Norris
and Roosevelt have many liberal politi-

We are hopeful that fate will be

the tension in district affairs, that
the vote of 81 per cent favoring
the bonds indicated a very gratify-
ing support. They failed by only
5 2-3 per cent. We think, too, 1t

that most of them have the spirit
and courage to undertake the nee
essary improvements so important

COURT DISMISSES COUNT ONE
IN HART INSURANCE TRIAL

moments of the usually drab trial
was expected this afternoon, when
Lewis Hart was 10 take the stand
in his own defense. with the as
serted intention of delivering before
the jury the same lecture he gave
at numerous meetings in churches
and other public buildings in I'M
perial Valley.
BY Judge Mundo's ruling last
night Bert Bane was automatically
eliminated as a defendant in the
present trial, since the first count,
which charged conspiracy to COM
NIT grand theft, was the only one
applicable to him. Bane was de-
Tended by Ernest r. Utley and H.
w. Judson, who also defended M.
Penn Phillips before the charges
against him were dismissed.
Judge Mundo's ruling was the
more startling in the face of an ar
gument before Judge Lloyd E. Crit
fin before the trial started, when
Judge Griffin refused to refer the
count back to the grand jury. 1t
was contended at that time, as it
was last night. that the language
of the count was insufficient to
constitute an offenSe.
Defense attorneys also we're vic
toriouS in efforts to have several
states exhibits stricken. A total of
46 were stricken from evidence, and
the jury will De instructed to dis
regard any testimony regarding
them.
OF the counts still contained in
the indictment, 81 now refer to
Lewis Hart, four apply to Louis
Rogasner, seven apply to Arthur
Goldberg, seven to Bernard Phil
lips, five to Simon Newman and
five to Percy pickerell.
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald
did not say today whether he will
take up with the present grand
jury a re-drafting of count one OF
the indictment, although 1t was
thought he will do so. Should the
jury convict the defendants, they
probably will not be tried on the
conspiracy charge.
Five more counts OF the indict-
ment, originally petty theft, had
been stricken today after they were
reduced to petty theft. Judge
Mundo held the sums named in the
five counts were not sufficient to
warrant a charge of grand theft.
After the charges were reduced
to petty theft, the counts were dis
missed on the grounds they come
under the statute of limitations
governing the offense of petty
theft.
