sideration Of propriety to bring this
speech to close.
We do not fear any comparison
which the opposition may make. We
meet their challenge In the open, face
to face. Democrats during the pres
ent administration have made a record
of great things accomplished. We are
not discouraged by the obstacles
which have been thrown in the way
Our opponents, paralyzed with fear, did
not attempt to overcome the results OF
their own mistakes and follies when
the collapse of 1929 occurred. Key
noter Steiwer complains that Mr.
Roosevelt after his election, did not
advise President Hoover and cooperate
with him in the hours Of the latter 8
extremity and failure.
Keynoter Steiwer denounces our
leader as a President without con-
science. President Roosevelt may not
possess the kind of a conscience with
which Republicans are familiar in
their conduct of public affairs. He
has. however, conscience which
takes note of the distress and help.

ing. A conscience keenly alive to the
necessity of maintaining the national
honor; of promoting national happi-
ness by repeating laws that have de-
stroyed it, and by advocating meas
ures designed to advance it.
William Allen White. sponsor Of the
Republican candidate. Gov. Landon,
characterized his favorite in the ar
ticle already quoted from as 'the
dumb, smiling enigma, who has
America guessing" That is not my
characterization. 1t is the statement
of the candidates closest friend, made
in an effort to prove that in making
demands to the Committee on Plat
form at Cleveland for the insertion
of certain planks and then in yielding
those planks. his candidate had sud-
denly demonstrated capacity for lead
ership.
Opponents sometime denounce Pres
ident Roosevelt as dictator. Nc
President has demonstrated klndlier
nature or more generous spirit than
President Roosevelt He has main
tanned amicable relations with every
department of the Government. II
he has been given extraordinary au-
thority by law, 1t is because the Con-
gress trusted him and regarded him
as the best agent 1t could find.

formed and under as gallant a lead

clared, in general terms, FOR the en-
forcement Of criminal laws and for
the enactment of additional legisla-
ton to prevent private monopoly.
These declarations would be re-
ceived with more confidence If the
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover admin
istrations had not neglected the en-
forcement Of criminal laws and fos-
tered the organization of trusts and
combinations tending to drive all
forms of business and industry under
the domination of monopoly.
The Democratic administration seeks
to protect small businesses against
those great combinations which crush
them and drive them out of existence.
1t has terminated the reign of gang
sters by destroying the kidnaper, the
national bank robber and the outlaw
who seeks refuge in flight to other
States from the place of his crime.
Our platform Is to be read in the
record of the best national law en-
forcement ever recorded in the history
of our Nation.
1t is, of course. impracticable to
make reference in this address to all
Of the features of the Republican plat
form which invite consideration.

attempt to attract support by the an
nouncement of principles which are
generally accepted. and concerning
which there can be no partisan divi-

On the contrary. unfair business

years on the Platform Committee. the

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-Awed
and amazed, woman delegaes to the
Democratic National Convention today
grasped gingerly new authority to sit
with the men in framing the party's
policies.
1T is the beginning for women OF a
chance to take an active part in shap-
ing political policy" said Miss Harriet
Elliott, dean Of women at the Uni
versity Of North Carolina.
While women have sat before on the
Platform Committee, not until yeSter-
day were they formally enrolled as
alternate members In such a number.
For each member of the committee
and there Is one from each State and

tion approved by the convention.
Watches Platform Drafting.
Immediately after the motion was
approved the North Carolina delega-
ton elected Miss Elliott, who. besides
being dean of women, Is professor OF
political science. A number Of other
States chose their members.
Soon afterward all Democratic ira
6ition was shattered when Mrs. Eliza
beth Graham of California entered
the innermost sanctum of the policy
makers and sat for a short time with
q subcommittee actually drafting the
platform.
She was batting for Mrs. Eleanor B.
MacFarland. alternate for j. Stitt
Wilson. Both Mrs. MacFarland and
Wilson we're absent.
When Mrs. Graham emerged, she
said:
They treated me wonderfully, but
I knew they didn't want a woman in
there"

You're going to see them in the picture If
you believe me, you're going to see a lot of

Gale marvelled at Janet She seemed so
genuinely confused and shy and girlish. And
under it all that dead-Sureness.
Folks - it's wonderful to be here - to be
seen playing with wonderful people like Ros-
coe Fleming. And Gales wonderful too Such
fine partner. Gale say word too
He was saying it. Just Hello - I'm ter
ribly happy He choked He couldn't have
said any more. And it wasn't true anyway.
But it was as though the words had been
pumped out of him by force over which he
had no control. And suddenly he felt it for
the first time - the dangerous heady sense
of his power to draw people to himself He
felt their smiling sympathy that was almost
a tenderness.
Their turn was over. He was sucked into

The moment came at last when Lois
Graham sat with Leslie in the tensely crowded
movie house and saw Gale come over the
crest OF hill and down to the gate where
girl waited for him. 1t was like the gate by
the big field and Lois recognized the way he
walked, all his dear familiar attitudes. He
held Janet Courteney's hand in his and smiled
down into her eager. upturned face. They
made lovable pair his dark boys beauty
setting off her fair innocent girlhood. BY
comparison the two stars seemed lustreless
When the lights came on, there was a burst
OF involuntary applause. The crowd pressed
out. chattering excitedly. 1t seemed that every
one had known Gale. They all had stories to
tell of him. But all Lois knew was that Gale
had gone. For always.
Leslie had her by the arm and was plotting
her like helpless child through the milling
crowd and across the street to the drug store
He made her sit down and ordered coffee and
sandwiches for them both. She wanted to
laugh. 1t seemed funny that he should expect
her to eat and drink as though nothing had
happened. But she didn't protest She didn't

she looked at him at last, drawn by his in
sistent hungry eyes she saw something in him
that she hadn't known before 1t was almost
frightening. His small deiCatcly featured face
looked violent and reckless But he spoke
very gently.
Il know how you've felt about him." he
said. But it's no good. He's gone And he
won't come back If he did, it would be the
worst thing that could happen He doesn't
belong to us any more. You wouldn't --"
Lois shook her head. And yet she knew it
must be true. Gale had gone on and left them.

She picked out the words slowly, unwill-
ingly, like child learning to read.
"A little bird perched on HOLLYWOOD

love scene between Janet Courteney and Gale

though ne is, couldn't have put all that heart
into it. Maybe another well-known director,
with his bow and arrow, did his bit and that
we shall hear more of the results anon. "
Lois went on reading. She didn't know what
she read but anything was better than meet
ing Leslie's eyes. In the end she had to. They
startled her. They looked desperate.

All that meant nothing to her.
But when he said brokenly with
sort of defenseessness, Lois
I've tried but can't live

awoke in her compassion
and even gratitude that
Just at that moment
anyone should need her.
Loving Gale gave her
understanding OF
Leslie's unhappiness.

was nothing in the
world that could

And a month later that Gale
Thornton was coming home
Gale asked for two weeks leave of
absence before the start of the new

Janet knew where he was going and
laughed. "You think you're going home

went fifty miles inland to the Fenshaw ranch
which was expected to evoke authentic feeling
To Gale it was near enough to what he haC
lost to hurt. 1t brought him up hard agains
the fact of his loneliness among these strange
difficult people. Catherine Fenshaw was like
someone he d known from childhood; and sht
was young as Gale and Lois were young He
spoke to her only once, because she held her
self shyly apart from the fantastic avalanche
that had descended upon her home 1t was or
their last day of outdoor work. Gale came
upon her nursing sick puppy on the ranch
house steps. He stood there, in his fake farm
clothes. looking down at her wistfully. feeling
the full impact of his homesickness.
Il guess you'll be glad when we've all
gone" he said
She looked up at him, kind and smiling
II like the pictures, she said. They mean

world to us. I'm grateful for them. So I'm
glad we've been able to do our bit to help.
But I'll be glad to be quiet again"
I'D like to be quiet too" he said.

1t was monotonous - the way he said that

should be TO misunderstanding. She stood up
with the puppy under one arm and gave
him her hand.

There wasn't anything to be said to
