STRONG DISTRICT
DEMOCRACY CITED
John Walsh, Seconding Nom
ination, Speaks of Lack
of Franchise.
BY J. A. O'LEARY,
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.


PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-The
District of Colunbia's six votes in the
Democratic National Convention went
toward the unanimous selection of
President Roosevelt as the party's
candidate last night, after Delegate
John Walsh had seconded the NOM
ination on behalf Of the District del
egation.
Walsh, brother of the late Senator
Thomas F. Walsh of Montana, took
occasion in his seconding speech to
remind the convention again that,
while Washingtonians are not permit
ted to vote In November, the city has
a splendid and militant" Democratic
organization, comprised of men and
women who. withougt thought of
public Office or favor, unselfishly and
effectively promote in various ways
the best interests of our country
through the instrumentality of the
Democratic party"
Pointing out that residents of
Washington observe the administra-
ton of governmental affairs at close
range, Walsh praised the record of
President Woodrow Wilson, and crit
icized the three Republican admin
istrations that intervened between
Wilson and the election Of Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
He dwelt in detail on the eviction
OF the bonus marchers from Washing
ton near the close of the Hoover ad-
ministration.
Never was nation so much In
need of a leader as in the dark days
OF 1882" Walsh said. Never was it
so plain that without a leader of
courage, purpose and understanding.
our national affairs would develop
into chaos ="
Now that the depression has fairly
run out and confidence has been re-
turned, and the normal processes of
agriculture and manufacture have
been set in motion, all through the aid
given by this administration, we find
arrayed against our President not
only those hungry for governmental
privileges and immunities, but also
every shred of private grudge and
every resentful special interest shorn
by the official shears of executive and
legislative justice. And much to our
regret, men who have been honored
by our party in the past and who
should be leaders of public opinion
and progress, are now to be found
skirmishers on the march of political
and economic progress giving vent to
shallow criticism"
Referring to Gov. Landon, Walsh
said the Republicans "chose a candi-
date without record of any national
public achievement or prominence"
THE Republicans have INDUCED in
extensive rhetoric, charging usurpa-
ton Of executive powers and the abro-
CATION Of constitutional rights" he
continued. mo reasonable and un-
derstanding man believes that any
possibility exists under the Constitu-
tion Of interference with fundamental
rights of individuals or sovereign
States.
I'm my humble judgment, there is
no call for any amendment to the
Constitution"
