COMMONER WILL ASK CONVENTION TO INDORSE LABOR BO ARM

BRYAN CHIDES CUMMINGS FOR DRY OMISSION Keynoter Ignored Greatest Achievement of Party, Commoner Says. CITES TREATY PRINCIPLE By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. Copyright, 1920, by W. J. Bryan, SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.—The convention opened In regular style, with Incidents calulated to unloose any lurking spirit of enthusiasm. The flag was unfurled when the “Star-Spangled Banner” was sung. When a large sized picture of the president was unveiled, the convention had its first opportunity to give vent to its feelings. The demonstration lasted for some twenty minutes, during which the delegates marched through the aisles carrying the standards of the states and cheering lustily. The applause was renewed when Temporary Chairman Cummings referred to the president and the treaty. Mr. Cummings’ speech was well received and it embodied, as such a speech should, a review of democratic achievement* —not a complete review, for singularly, it omitted reference to prohibition—the greatest achievement to which our party can lay claim. It woald stem imposlble, were it not true, that any democrat large enough to be considered for a keynote speech could be terrorized Into silence by the friends of the saloon, even after the liquor traffic has been barred by the constitutional amendment and that an amendment, enforced by criminal law*, sustained by the supreme court of the laud, should be avoided on the theory that it is dead. When did a corpse ever before possess such a power to frighten? If the avoidance of the subject is due to political expediency, what an indictment against the defenders of the home that their zeal should so little impress politicians. FIN'DS IT POSSIBLE TO EXCUSE CUMMINGS. But Chairman Cummings halls from

one of the three states that failed to ratify and a recent convention in his state declared for wine and beer. He may have thoughtlessly mistaken this for a state convention. The delegates from the remaining forty-five states may repair the harm he has done by adopting a dry plank congratulating the party on its honorable part in tUia great moral victory. Believing that compulaory arbitration is not compatible with American Idea*, but that the public has a right to know the facts In any dispute that affects the general welfare. I shall submit for consideration of the committee a Tery simple plan which* Is Identical in its general provisions with the principle embodied in t’ulrtv treaties with three-quarters of the world and afterward made the cornerstone of a league of nations. Even before I suggested It for International disputes. I endeavored to have it applied to industrial disputes. It eontnplates a permanent board of three members, one chosen from the workers, one assumed to be in sympathy with the employer, and the third selected with a view to finding a person as nearly impartial as possible. This commission should have authority to investigate an Industrial dispute at the request of either side or upon its own initiative. In each disputes two members would be added to the commission, one chosen by each side Li order t£at each side might be sure to have a representative on the commission A little time would be allowed for investigation, the report of the commission would not be binding on either side, but would be a guide of public opinion. Such a commission would not make strikes Impossible, but the fact that such Bn Investigation could be made would go far toward compelling conciliation and the establishment of such a means of adjusting disputes would reduce to a minimum the Influx of prejudice. Just as a peaceful means of settling international disputes Is calculated to lessen the partisan propaganda that. In itself, ineerases the probability of a conflict in convention. LABOR ASSURED OF FAIR ACTION. Mr. Gompers Is here and will doubtless be heard by the resolutions committee. He is not likely to haT# any difficulty in securing a recognition for all the rights of labor, for this is quite a different convention from that which assembled in Chicago three weeks ago. I shall ask the committee to include in t>t platform a provision for a permanent Investigating commission with a view to settling industrial disputes before they reach the strike or locknut stage At present the third party, the public, seems to be ignored, and yet It Is the public that furnishes the money for both employer and employes. The need for some such plan was forcibly emphasized last fall when a strike threatened to close the coal mines Just before the beginning of winter. The mine workers numbered between 500.000 and fIOO.OOO and the number of stockholders in the mines could not have amounted to many hundred thousand. The moat extravagant estimate would not put the number of indirectly Interested in both sides at more than 1.000.000. Counting five persons to a family, not more than 5.000,000 men. women and children could have been directly Interested in the controversy, and yet it looked for a while as if the remaining 95,000,000 of our people would have to freeze while the dispute was being adjusted.

BRITISH WATCH ’FRISCO MEETING London Declines to Express Preference, but Likes Davis. LONDON, June 29.—Newspapers and British officials hero manifest considerable Interest in the democratic national convention at San Francisco. The Dally News said: "ff on this side of the water would be accused of prejudice were we to express a preference among the aspirants for the democratic nomination for president. “Therefore. It is unn®oesary for us to say more regarding the claims made for American Ambasador John Davis than that he has shown good judgment and the power of Inspiring respect for both himself and the great nation he represents. “This will Insure a high place even In the notable list of distinguished men who during the last 125 years have filled this office. - ’ The same newspaper declared hostility of American labor would defeat A.

Democrats in Melee Open Up Jack Pot n’Joy Scrap Over N. Y. Sign Gives .4. Mugg and Chelsea Mcßride Only Thrill So Far. By A. MUGG, Delegate to the Democratic National Convention Per Damon Runyon. (Copyright, 1920. by International News Service.) SAN FRANCISCO, June 29,—A1l of us democrats are very much pleasured up and full of speed because we got our convention going most successfully, what with a battle and one thing and another. Os course it is not much of a battle, but still and all. it is a battle end anyway people can not expect too much of the first day, even from us democrats, especially when you figure this prohibition business. In fact, if it is not for little old New York we will not have even as much of a battle as we do, because tip to some everybody is certainly pretty much sunk. There are practically no battles In sight anywhere, and nobody to throw out of our convention except maybe Jim Reed, so it Is commencing to look as if the meeting is more or less of a bust when little old New York weighs in at the battle. DIG UP BATTUE ANY OLD PLACE. One thing about New York guys you can always depend upon them to dig up a battle no matter where they go, because they generally 'arry their own battles with them so as to be sure and have some on hand. In fact, this battle this morning la one of their own hattleß, although they do not try to keep it private, and one and al! are welcome to take part in It at all times. What the battle Is about nobody knows, but the chances are it is about nothing much in particular, for New Y’ork guys do not have to have anything in particular to battle about. Anyway, everybody is very grateful, indeed, at this time to New York for putting on this battle and jazzing up our gathering no little. As near as I can figure out. one of the lads gets all steamed up while we are cheering for President Wilson's picture, although It is not a picture to cheer so much about, at that, and he tries to snatch the New York sign so he can Join In what la called a demonstration. NOT WORTH MORE THAN TWO BUCKS. Well, of course, nobody cares a darn about the sign, or what he does with tt, because it is not worth more than two bucks at the most, but as there is noth Ing else in particular doing one of the other lnds triea to put the tap on him. which is a way of saying he tries to slug him. Well, naturally, some of the other lads Join in because it Is very tiresome sit ting around a convention where there Is nothing doing, and soon it Is very good, indeed, and getting better right away, especially as fast aa the lada can get rid of their coata. Abont tbie time a San Francisco cop comes up. and, of course, one and all atop trying to put the slug on each other, and figure to put the slug on the cop. for there la nothing any guy loves to slug more than a cop, and nothing a op loves to slug more than a New York guy. But it aeema the cop is no aucker. anl he does not wait to get slugged, so the boys go back to slugging each other. Sly friend, Chelsea Mcßride, claim s that while it is going on he aees some of the lads trying to get a few tiepins and kettles, a kettle being a way of saving a watch, but the chances are the boys for get they are among themselves and not among strangers, and no doubt all prop erty will be returned in good order as soon as possible. Well, the battle stops after a while, hut not before a pleasant time Is had by one and ail and they let the guy take the sign and go where he pleases with it, because nobody cares a whoop about it anyway and furthermore everybody forgets by this time that the sign ig the cause of the battle. I am going back to the hotel with my friend, Chelsea Mcßride, and this Goofy Beers, tho nut. and I am saying to them that after all New York Is as good a state as yon will find anywhere, and that the committee on resolutions is entitled to thank the New Y'ork guys for what they d-> for this convention, when Chelsea Mcßride says to me like this: "Yes,” he says, “they certainly do grand work today, and,” he says, “I am certainly glad I am there to see H come off. “For several years.” Chelsea says, “I am wondering about certain guys around New Y’ork, and especially about how they can sock. "I get a chance to see some of them sock this morning, and.” Chelsea says, “I now know who 1 am going to match myself against them right away.” Harding to Reply to Cummings Talk WASHINGTON, .Tune 29.--Senator Warren G. Harding intends to reply to the keynote speech of Homer S. Cummings to the democratic convention In his acceptance speech next month. Harding read the democratic broadside catefullv today, but declined to comment. Tl- epublican nominee was back on the Job today fresh from his vacation in New .T'ersey.

INTEREST RAPT AS CUMMINGS GIVES KEYNOTE Unqualified Stand in League Defense and Prompt Pact Ratification Taken. TREATY ATTACK IS SEEN By DAVID STARR JORDAN. Copyright, 1920, .by International News Service. SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.— The first day of the democratic convention was marked by the eloquent and masterly keynote address of the temperarv chairman, Homer S. Cummings. Spoken in a full, clear voice, it held the unflagging attention of the great audience and frequently moved it to genuine applause. Its salient points were: A review, deservedly scathing, of the obstructive attitude of the republican senatorial cabal. A statement of the effective domestic legislation brought about by the democratic party. An account of the great achievements of the war, admittedly the work of the whole American people under democratic leadership. A brilliant eulogy or the president and his Inspired world-vision of a league of nations, together with a moving appeal to the heart of America for the keeping of the faith. The speaker thus took unqualified stand for the party. In defense of the league, as submitted by the president, admitting no validity in the criticisms so profusely directed against it. LEAGUE PLANK PREPARED. According to the press, the administration forces, now apparently in the lead, have prepared a platform plank, deslg nating the present league of nations as "the surest If not the only practical means of maintaining the peace of the world and terminating the Insufferable burden of great military and naval establishments.” Cotlnulng. It pays a very high tribute to the president for his achievements in the war and peace. Prompt ratification of the treaty 1s demanded nnd with .“no reservations which would Impair Its essential integrity."

It is, however, commonly believed that the first serious contest In the convention may take the form of an attack on this position. Its opponents demand reservations of a more votal character. Senator Wash of Montana, In co-opera-tion with Mr. Bryan, is fearful that the country may be entangled In an agreement which will deprive us of all we have gained through sacrifice. ' The proposed amendments are listed under four beads which I may here briefly summarize: The United States shall make no pledge to engage in foreign wars nor to arbitrate questions of vital interests. The nation shall be its own Judge as to its need of .defensive armament. The United States shall have as many votes in the league as any foreign state or empire. It shall aceppt no covenant that endangers or Impairs the Monroe doctrine or which prevents withdrawal from the league on proper notice. r WHAT IS COVERED BY RESERVATIONS. The first of these reservations covers the much discussed Article 10. But -it seems almost certain that no such clause Is necessary, as under our constitution the country can not wage war without positive aetton by con grass. The phrase “vital Interests" has never been explained, and can not be ac cepted without exact definition. As to the second, the ehtef function of the league should be to bring about disarmament and in this movement the United States should naturally take the lead. Regarding the third Item, the pro posed change as to representation In the aserobly In which nothing of Importance Is decided by majority vote. Involves an impossibility and can be urged only to destroy the league; Canada, Australli, New Zealand nnd South Africa are self governing common wealths bound to Groat Rrltaln by ties of affection only. They aro already members of toe league, and can not be expelled; neither Is it possible to form anew world leagae more acceptable to financial senators. These dominions are surely hh well entitled to separate voice as our own proteges, Hawaii, Santo Domingo, Nicaragua and Panama. Lastly, as to the fourth, if by the Monroe doctrine we mean the actual pronouncement of Mori roe to the effect that we would not look with favor on further conquest or colonization tn America by European powers, that doctrine Is fully safeguarded In the league. MOULD PREVENT JOINING LEAGUE. These reservit’ons. for Hip most part Individually innocuous or needless, would ns a whole virtually prevent our entrance into the leagu?. The question of wet or dry ia a very real one and may lead to an open contest. The delegates from the Atlantic sea board seem to be pledged to a modification of the Volstead act. But the courage of the thirst has abated somewhat since they crossed the desert and they are satisfied with a very slight degree of inoist.ness. The present alternatives are the bone dry proposition, eloquently urged by Mr. Bryan or absolute silence on the question. A plank mildly facing both ways—im pllclt obpdienep to the constitution, yet with hopes of future relaxation —is under discussion. But in this matter wet. is wet. Such a plank is certainly bad politics

ACTION AT ONCE IS BRYAN’S IDEA Commoner’s Treaty Plank Cal is for Basic Change. SAN FRANCISCO. .Tunc 29. -The treaty plank which W. .1. Bryan will endeavor to have adopted by the democratic convention was made public today. It. calls for immediate convening of the senate to adopt a constitutional amendment for ratification of treaties by majority vote for ratification of the treaty with Germany “with such reservations as a majority of the senators may agree upon reserving for the future, the making of such changes as we may deem necessary and appointment by the president of American delegates to the league of nations, to serve until regularly chosen delegates are elected and qualified." Flection of permanent delegates should be by direct vote of the people, the plank snvs. and they should he Instructed not * . —e- war except on specific lit; stmetions by congress or the people. These delegates should be instructed the plank says, to Insist on wo;#4 disarmament as tha foundation of .enduring peaca.

DEMOCRACY’S FAIR SEX BEST (Continued From Page One.) const who had been fooling men in politics until he had grown gray as a fox, put up a nea**’lttle game by which he Intended to get all the best seats in the convention hall for the men and keep the women In the background. He put down his wires with skill and confidence and when he had everything aet pulled away and found a local woman had been before him and copped off every choice seat for a woman. But I know better Instances than that. I have seen here some of the most accomplished artists In political flimflam talk to a bunch of women for half an hour and apparently make the right impression and go away and then I have heard the women talk about him and I wouldn’t for big money be In that faker's place. They tore nil his tricks to pieces and hung them on the fence and they did it with a merciless sarcasm that to tell you the tru'h made me shudder. I don't want any of them turning that kind of scalpel on tne. believe me. There are thirty eight women dele gates and two or three hundred women alternates in this convention, and I don't know why or how. being unschooled In these mysteries, but they certainly do have the women In the republican con vention beaten several ways for Sunday. There's no comparison. At Chicago the women alwnys seemed to be scared abont aomethlng, I don't know what, being In a strange place, or too many millionaires, maybe, or all that society lug. you never can fell. But you can bet the women here aren't scared; here it's the other way about. They've got the men rattled and guess lng what's going to happen next, and no wonder. THEY GET WHAT THEY GO AFTER. Here the women settled down right on the start, for certain things they wanted tn the platform. Wise business. They wanted to get the party natled hard and fast to a program of social reform laws to protect children, to fur ther education, to reduce the cost of living, tn protect working women, to improve the public health and that sort of thing So they went after these reform* and never let up until they got them. Now, you see, that's the kind of a platform they wanted, and if It Isn’t a million times better than the old punk stuff men have been feeding to superior male voters these forty years. I'm a clam. So here's one thing about having women In this game. Brass taeka —see? Cut out the guff and get something that, has a meaning. And now. here's another. A good many folks thought, or said they thought that when women got. Into polities they would be Just, another lot of reactionaries and God knows we don’t need any more than we’ve got. Well, come to now and get hold of the facts So tar anyway the women have shown themselves a heap sight more radical than the men; more radical, more prac Heal, more direct and landing what they wanted every clip. So far they have shown so much more of natural good sense and wit and pep and the art of getting things done that, if this democratic platform bears out Its promise and comes anywhere near hit ting Ihe democratic opportunity It will be partly due to the new spirit the wemen have brought along. There is so much of novelty about all Hits that even the old stagers are be ginning to wonder what a national convention will be like four years hence, when probably 50 per cent of the deljgates will he women.

READ REED AND GEORGIA GANG OUT_OF_PARTY (Continued From Page One.) vi>le, Tcnn., and Mrs. T. T. Cotnam of Little Rack, Ark. Although tired from the excitement of the first clay's session am' heavy eyed at the long vigil, they .Vwely stuck it out in the tobacco-smoked atmosphere of the stuffy room and listened attentively to the presentation of evidence. In both cases they voted with the administration supporters. WOMAN STICKS TO HAND BLOW. One other woman sat through most of the long session was Mrs W. W. Martin, an alternate from Cape Girardeaux, Mo., and she stuck it out tn order to make a speech against Senator Reed. She got her ham e long after midnight and it was due to a great extent, to her convincing argument that the vote against seating Reed was so large "Kansas City and the Fifth district, from w hieh Senator Reed comes. i so boss ridden that it needs a good cleaning. she told the committee. "It is not-only boss-ridden, but it has two kinds of bosses—‘rabbit bosses' ant,' ‘goat-bosses.’ "The Fifth district needs to be taken in hand by Missouri and attended to. “You have ail seen a spoiled child get stubborn and say, ‘I want that or nothing at all.* "Weil, In this rase Ma Missouri said to the Fifth district, ’you will have to take soaudblng else besides Senator Reed or go hungry.' "Now the bad child is trying to steal down to the pantry and tuke what has been forbidden. "If no one sits In Senator Reed's seat the Fifth district and Missouri herself is better off, because they are better rep resented by nobody at all than by Jim Reed.” Senator Reed's side of the argument was presented by Francis P. Wilson, dls triet attorney of Kansas City; Joseph B. Shannon, a political associate, and by Emil P. Rosenberger of the Ninth district. He was opposed by E. F. Goltra. Missouri national committeeman and by Col. John Gosgrove, an S2-year-old veteran of Boonevllle. Mo. Shannon declared Senator Reed was being denied a seat solely because of his opposition to Mr Wilson’s policies, partlcu’arly the league of nations. "Since when. ' Shannon demanded, "has :he democratic party held a convention and resd out of the party every man who does not indorse the league of nations? “Renumber, gentlemen, that at Chicago two men holding as widely divergent views a* Murray Crane and Bill Borah got together on the same platform on this question. "Why can't we apply the same principle here?” Shannon's pleas, however, fell on deal ear*. The membe's of the committee. 75 per cent of whom were advocates of the league, were determined that the senlot United States senator from Missouri should get out and put him out they did, v-tth considerable gusto. HECKLED BY GALLAGHER. Col. Cosgrove was "heckled” by Gab lugher of New Jersey. Cosgrove declared he believed tn "stick Ing with the organization," which he charged Senator Reed with falling to do. Cosgrove also was an ardent supporter of Wilson. "You believe in going along with the organization, eh?" said Gallagher. "Then, tell me, do you ever know of Woodrow Wilaon sticking with the organization in all bis life?” "I don't know," replied Cosgrove, “i think Mr. Wilson Is too broad, too big, too much of a humanitarian to be bound by a machine. "He is a friend of hirmanlty." Senator Reed himself did not attend the hearing, leaving on his friends the task of looking after his Interests. The smlth-Watson Palmer case was more easily disposed of than was the Reed contest. The Insurgents were represented by ex Senator Thomas U. Hardwick of Georgia and by Col. 11. 11. Perry of Gainesville. STRESS TIIEIR STRONG rOINT. They presented the facts of the threecornered Georgia primary to the committee. stressing the fact that the Talmer delegation represented but. one third of the democratic voters of Georgia, while the Smith Watson combination had received the votes of two-thirds The Palmer delegation was represented by Albert Howell of Atlanta and by H. H. Dean of Gainesville. They declared the Georgia law gave Mr Palmer the right to send a delegation to the convention, as he had polled a slight plurality over both Smith and Watson in the primary. Dean drew many laughs from the committee by comparing the case to a three-handed poker game. Palmer, he said, had shown down a pair of aces; Watson a pair of kings and Smith a pair of Jacks. By all the laws of Hoyle, he declared, rnlmer was the winner, hut after the showdown Smith and Watson had combined their hands, making two pair and claiming the pot.

WOMEN ENTHUSE OVER OPENING OF CONVENTION Approve Recognition Given Them by Democrats at San Francisco. By MRS. GEORGE BASS. SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.—1f ‘‘well begun is half done" were really the truth, I the delegates to this greatest of ail con- { ventions would be starting homeward tonight instead of enjoying themselves in this wonderful city for the rest of the week, for never was a better beginning, aud surely never has there been a more inspiring keynote speech than that of the chairman of the democratic national committee. At a caucus of the women called afterward to discuss other matters one enthusiast moved that this speech be no cepted as voicing the spirit and sentlj ments of all the women present and another announced that the national com- : mittee might as well save itself the expense of a handbook as all the Informa- , tlon neceasaryy to go out and win the campaign was contained in this pro- : nouncement of the achievements and principles of the democratic party. WOMEN REPRESENT MANY PUBLICATIONS. Old convention campaigners say this is one of the most comfortable, so far as arrangements, accouatics and weather arc i concerned, that has ever been held. Notable among the hundreds of corre- | spondents gathered from the four quarters of the country are a number of i women representing dally papers, weeklies and women’s magazines. I am told that only one of the leading women’s magazines had the courtesy of a press sent In Chicago—only one woman ; representative, that is, for there are still editors abroad in the land who think tb* last "cub” reporter is entirety capable of writing up anything for or about women. However, it is to be hoped on this occasion that the editor who wired his rep. resentative "cut out the politics and send us ‘sob stuff.’ " is in the minority. FOR POLITICS, NOT "SOB STUFF.” For women are here for politics, not I to supply Mtonal thrills to that porj tlcular kind of editorial sanctum, and j they have very definite ideas, fsr removed ! from "sob stuff" and lovely abstractions. Nothing more fiercely downright and i concrete than a woman bent on political ' action has ever made its advent in ; American life. i No sooner had the women adopted a resolution of thanks to Gov. Roberts of j Tennessee for calling a special onvention I In order to urge ratification than other women called attention to the need for j haste, since tie women of eight states will lose their primary votes I prompt action is taken. ft | Once wo would have been content with I the mere announcement that the so*aion ! would be called. No, everything except politics is adJitrned as far as the women of this convention are concerned and they are content to leave fuss, feathers and frivolity i to the visitors who are making the city gay with their red caps as they flock | homeward from their recent meeting in | Portland.

Palmers backers this morning the eonv-ntion was called to order claiming 320 votes on the first against the claims of 200 by the Adooers. Gov James M. Cox’s boom today seemed about stationary, no marked variation being observable since yesterday. The Palmer crowd reported a certain weakening in the ranks of Cox's army, backing up this assertion with the one that some of his cohorts were talking "second choice" for the first time since their arrival in San Francisco. ’FRISCO NEWS IS BEST TONIC President Pleased Over Results of First Day. WASHINGTON, June 29—President Wilson today was described as “highly pleased" over the results of the first day of the democratic national convention. rn One official at the whitehouse said the convention news was the best tonic the president has had since his illness. The story of the convention was received over a United Press leased wire running into the whitehouse and carried to the president. Copies were made for other officials also and throughout the day a little group sat in the executive offices reading the United Press dispatches. Probably the most pleasing feature to the whitehouse was the effect of the keynote speech of Homer S. Cummings. But what officials regarded as of more practical significance was the apparent willingness of the convention to indorse the president and his administration. It was said that if this sentiment at the convention continues to prevail, it is probable that Wilson will have nothing more to say for publication until the convention has finally adjourned.
