PPI to send rs
to notI convention

AS pro- war Democrats
flocked to Philadelphia for
t h e ir national convention,
more than ITS Illinois liber-
ais made preparations to at
tend as delegates the national
New Party convention in the
same city July 1925.
For every delegate to the Wal
lace convention, there will be
at least one other Illinois pro-
gressive who will attend as an
alternate or observer, Progress
sive Party Spokesman disclosed.
Among them will be women,
Negroes, unionists, youth, farm
ers, artists and professionals,
business men, and members of
nationality groupings.
Most were expected to leave
July 81 or %.
+
ANY resemblance between the
New Party Convention and the
conventions of the two old parties
is likely to be very superficial
indeed.
Like the others, the New Party
will select its standard bearers,
adopt a platform and put on a
good show. But there the resem-
blance ends.
Delegates to the New Party
Convention (more than 1000
delegates and alternates are ex-
pecteO will be ordinary Ameri-
cans with no patronage to offer
and no deals contemplated.
PROBABLY half the delegates
will be women, if they reflect the
makeup of New Party forces in
the various states. Again in con-
trast to the old Parties, a high
percentage is likely to consist of
young people in their early 20's.
Members of Americas minority
groups, granted only token repre-
sentation by the Old Party Con-
ventions, are expected to appear
in great numbers to form the
New Party. There will be few
bankers but very many workers
and large delegation of profess
sional people is expected.
State New Parties and Wallace
Committees will be entitled to
send eight delegates for each
Presidential elector in their state.
Other organizations supporting
the candidates. of Wallace and
Taylor viii be seated as OBJ
servers.
The Conventions job. besides
nominating its candidates and
adopting platform will include
giving the New Party a name,
adopting its rules, and CONSOLE
dating ranks for the crucial cam
paign ahead.
THE New Party's Provisional
Platform Committee Chairman
Rexford Guy TugweH has issued
call to hundreds Of organiza-
tions to appear at open hearings
before the Committee July 21-22
in Philadelphia. New Party Con-
vention headquarters are at the
Bellevue-Stratford.
Dramatic hiehlight of the Con-
vention will come Saturday eve
ming JuluY "a at 1880 pm. when
Wallace and Senator Taylor will
deliver their acceptance speeches
TO an unprecedented mass politi-
cal rally in Philadelphis's Shibe
Park Seating capacity is $4,000.
Immediately following the New
Party Convention, some 1900
youth leaders will complete the
job of sweeping Convention Hall
clean of machine hacks and Wall
Street politicians.

gram Of Gen. Lucius D. Clay, United

Il don't believe he can make that
bond, your honor" Mr.. Scott ex-
planned.
But the judge was not satisfied.
There has been such a wave Of
these offenses lately that it's be-
come a real community problem" :"
he declared. He added he, would
not consider such an insufficient
bond" and set the higher figure.

the mother of small child, testi-
fed she was assaulted in her home
last Thursday.

of her husbands, ended two-hand
card game he was playing with
her, while awaiting the husbands

by the throat and threatened to
hurt" if she kept screaming.
