PROPOSE OTHER ISSUES 10 CLOUD KU-KLUX FIGHT Democrat Leaders Working to Divert Minds From Klan Plank, By FRAZER EDWARDS (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, June 24. —In their desperate efforts to divert the minds of delegates from the bitter fight over th* Klan, Democratic leaders succeeded in bringing to the fore the League of Nations, taxes, tariff and farm relief. To this end Chairman Cor'dell Hull of the national committee made public a letter from Col. E. M. House, urging the adoption of a plank in the platform pledging the Democratic party to advocate the United States joining the League as an associate member. Taggart Steps While the McAdoo and anti-Mc-Adoo factions continue to quarrel Over the proposed plank mentioning! the Klan by name, other leaders, who j are looking for a winning issue in ! the campaign, put forward further tax reduction, adjustment of the j tariff so as to lower the cost of liv- ! ing. and practical farm relief. This ; program has the support of Tom Taggart of Indiana, who has thus far held aloof from the. bitter Klan fight. Party leaders favoring the emphasis of domestic issues believe the party should get back to fundamental economic issues—the things that touch the pocket nerve of the voters. They fear the Klan issue has already been overplayed. While E. H. Moore of Ohio and George Brennan of Illinois have entered \ a last ditch fight for an antiKlan plank, naming the organization. neither they or Senator Underwood, Alabama, will say that they will carry the fight to the floor of the convention. This leads to the belief that the issue will be fought out in the resolutions committee. Aid to Kian Seen * There is a growing feeling among ! the leaders that the injection of the Klan into the campaign would not destroy it hut advertise it. With a bitter religious issue they fear it j would add to the membership of the Klan. Newton D. Baker, as a member of the resolutions committee from Ohio, plans to offer a League of Nations plank with reservations similar to the Lodge reservations so as to forestall Republican attacks. - Agricultural planks have been drafted by fr.e association for the national relief for agriculture headed Iky B. F. Yeakum, and at a meeting if the newly formed Democratic rrn bloc, led by Carl Voorman, Cornier assistant secretary of agriculture in the Wilson administration.

POLICE ASK NEW CITY ORDINANCE ON LAY-WALKING Rikhoff and Glenn Launch Drive to Regulate Pedestrian Traffic, Contending that the majority of downtown accidents? in which pedestrians are injured results from jaywalking, Police Chief Herman F.

In the meantime it was announced a drive on jay-walking wilt be launched. “Speeding motorists,” said Inspector Glenn, “have held the spotlight during the last two weeks, but in my estimation, the jay-walker condition is far worse than speeding. Drivers' Troubles “Any point along the downtown streets is a crossing point for the pedestrian. The automobile driver i and street car motormen are in con- ; slant suspense. "When the pedestrian realizes I that street cars do not run on -übber tracks and automobile drivf rs are human and can' only go i so far in avoiding striking persons, ; accidents in the downtown district will i e minimized. Speeders are not to blame for accidents downtown and : statistics show that the greater per- ! rentage of accidents occurs in the mile square that bounds the business section.” What Not to Do Michael Glenn issued these rules: 1. Watch the semaphore and the light in the traffic tower. 2. Don’t cross in the middle of : the block. 3 Enter and leave safety zone from the street intersection. Don't walk to the middle of the zone from i the curb. 1 When automobiles have the I right of way, don't dodge between j cars. 5. Keep to the right on sidewalks. Motorists drive that way; walk that way.

Said NORMAN E. MACK, national committeeman from New York, as he mopped his brow: “The weather is hot enough; but the convention will be hotter.” Whereupon PR. W. H. CONLEY. medical director of the convention, rubbed his hands and said: “Maybe my business will pick up.” Caught in the corridor rushing in to confer with Mack, DANIEL F. RYAN, executive secretary of Tammany Hall, whispered confidentially: “Watch Smith—that's all." And GOVERNOR ALFRED E. SMITH, having just finished some corn beef hash for breakfast, looked out upon the horizon, and sighed: “Good day for swimming. Guess I'll go." And he went.
