BEHIND THE SCENE AT CLEVELAND

There are many versions of what transpired 8 Cleveland. Those coming from Republican source end to show that there great mass movemer ack of Governor Landon, the nominee. There ar liners who have different view of it. Among ther the Republican Senator from Nebraska, George W Torris who has spent 30 years in Congress. Hi ersion given in recent address is especially inter sting in view of the fact that it is in such marke ontrast with most Republican interpretations: Sena ,r Norris said:
 The people must not forget that in this program of humanity in which President Roosevelt is engaged, he has incurred the bitter hatred of all monopoly, of all special interests which are trying to get financial advantage out of legislation and which are financially interested in shifting the burden of government from their shoulders to those of the poor whose rights they have so long trampled under foot. The interests behind the eminent gentlemen at Cleveland have long escaped their just share of the tax burden
 I want you to remember that these emln- ent gentlemen will attempt to buy the cleo torate at the coming Presidential election The only question they will ask is how can their subscriptions be used for bringing about Roosevelts defeat. They will be very careful; they will not appear in the open. They will wrap themselves in the American flag, cry out for liberty of contract, denounce the govern ment for being in business" and do all they can to maintain the strong hold they main- tained under Hoover upon which Roosevelt has gradually but surely loosened their grip.
 We should consider not only the Cleveland platform but the men who made it. We should not forget that the leaders of these eminent gentlemen, most of the members of the platform committee, belong to the reac- tionary element of the party Some of them have had experience for many years in Con- gress and the record shows they have bent all their great abilities in the direction of pro lection of monopolistic principles, against the welfare of the common man.
 These eminent gentlemen behind the smoke screen at Cleveland nominated a man for President whose greatest asset is that nobody knows him and nobody knows what he stands for It does not necessarily follow that the nominee is not good man But it does mean that if he will not take orders from the disclosed bosses who made him. then these eminent gentlemen have been deceived The very fact that reactionary alleged leaders from Maine to California. from Minnesota to great country tumbled one another to endorse man they did not know is conclusive proof that somewhere behind the scene the representatives of special interests issued the commands that percolated down through the reactionary organization to the lieutenants in local control and they obeyed the recognized voice of their masters

THE TWO-THIRDS RULE OUT

Abrogation of the two-thirds rule at the Phila- delphia convention stamps the Democratic party as national party no longer concerned with section of the nation AS the Philadelphia Record said dur ing the convention in that city, it is indicative of new spirit within the party. Commenting further the Record feeling the tone of the convention said;
 The two-thrds rule for Democratic Pres- dental and Vice Presidential nominations is undemocratic and dangerous.
 The two-thirds rule first imposed in the Democratic convention of 1882, as fac tiona maneuver Andrew Jackson, sure of two-tlnirds for the Presidential nomination, had the rule adopted to apply to both the Presidential and Vice Presidential nomina tions. The importance in the latter.
 Jackson wanted Van Buren his running mate At least half the delegates seemed to favor Calhoun. The two-thrds rule elimin- ated Calhoun and insured the nomination ot Van Buren for the Vice Presidency
 Thereafter the rule dagged along from convention to convention. Most Democratic leaders admitted it to be bad practice But i'll every past convention abrogaton of the rule would have given an unfair advantage to candidate another. So it was re- tained
 The rule also has been supposed to pro- tect the special position of the South in the Democratic party. Since the Solid South IS too Democratic to be debatable territory, it has long been recognized that it is extremely un- likely that Democratic candidate for Presi- dent would be chosen from a Southern State
 Democrats naturally have gone outside the South for their candidates and, in recom- pense the two-thirds rule continued to give the South veto power over the nomina- tions Today, however, the Democratic party is great deal more than the old rivalry be- tween the Democrats of the South and the Democrats of the Eastern cities It is a na- tional, not sectional party.
 The philosophy of the New Deal finds much of its enthusiastic response in the progressive tradition of the Midwest and West. The base of the party's appeal has been broadened until even typically Republican Pennsylvania has become Democratic State
 Under the circumstances, it would be un- wise and defeatist to continue to give any group section a veto power over the Presi- dential and Vice Presidential nominations
 It is especially heartening and indicative of the spirit within the party that many of the Southern delegates have come to Phla- dephia committed to abrogation of the two- thirds rule

Grimes, a former member of both
the Brooklyn and Cardinal clubs, was
visiting at the st. Louis home Of Andy
High, a former teammate, when no
tilted yesterday Of his appointment.
II know there's been much said
about Mungo and Dizzy Dean"
Grimes stated. "Td like to have
Dizzy, sure. Any manager would. But
I want to say this about Mungo: I
like his type. He's big, strong. fass
and young. He should last a long
time; longer than Dizzy. I'd say, as
he's little younger.
with Mungo on the team, have
only him to contend with, but when
you have Dizzy Dean you have more
than just a star pitcher to think Of.
He's great pitcher, no doubt about
it. but if you ask me as between
Mungo and Dizzy, I'll be honest with
you. like 'em to be like Mungo.
And in saying that do not wish to
reflect any on Dizzy, a fine fellow"
Grimes said. III not even think of
trades" until after talking with Brook
