HARRISON GIVES KEYNOTE SPEECH Senator From Mississippi Sounds Keynote Os i Democratic Convention (By Robert J Bender, United Prose staff correspondent) Madison Square Garden, New York June 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—ln an addr OSB (bounding in j humor, satire ami invective. Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi sounded the keynote speech of the Democratic national convention here today establishing clean government us the foremost issue upon which the Democrats will go before the people next fall. I "Forty-eight years ago in St. Louis” he said, "the hosts of Democracy met in convention to dedicate themselves to purging corruption from the • pub- ( lie service. We meet today for a rededication to'the same purpose.” That was the outstanding theme of his utterance —and woven through it was renunciation of the Mellon tax • plan, ridicule of the admin stratitm 1 foreign policy, sallies as a situation in 1 which "congress does not lead the ' president and the president does not ' lead congress"—and scathing references to oil. “There was corruption then—fortyeight years ago." he said, “there Is a saturnalia of corruption now. There wen* disgraced public officials then. 1 repudiated by their party and under arrest; but today Fall goes unmolested on his ranch In New Mexico; Daugherty sat with presidential approval at Cleveland and Daugherty's attorney was chairman of the com-j mlttee created to oil the steam roll-' er cf th< worst boas ridden conven-' tion ot a generation-" And aga,’n. Harriwn said: "Oil has become the open sesame of power.. I Show the administration an oil' well and it will show you a foreign ‘ policy. ' “Crooked business needs only to I gesture or special privilege to wink to make this administration under-’ s'*nd and do. It 4s against this brutal thing that we will wage relentless w»r In Hits campaign.” I Denouaz ing the Republican party las having a cornet stone of "special | privilege," Harrison declared “the I doc trine of equal rights to none and I special favor* to some was never | mute firmly embodied than in the I Fordney McCuniber tariff law.” I* Os the Mellon tax proposal he said; "What is this mellou that Mellon | ought to cut? It would have given 12o«) of the 3.585.985 taxpayers in I America 51 per cent of the total reI duction. Under ita provUioua an inI come of 13,oc»o would have received I only $8.75 reduction.
