BAKER APPEALS FOR RETURN 10 , WILSON POLICY iPlaces Name of James M. Cox Before Democratic Convention, By United Press MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW TOPS.. June 26.—A call to the D2mC‘ ratic convention, to stick to the principles of Woodrov. Wilson and renominate James M. Cox of Ohio as presidential candidate was sounded by Newton D. Baker in a speech placing Cox in nomination before the Democratic convention today. “There is nobility in a defeat when it is but a temporary set-back in the assetion of principles eternally true,” said Baker at the outset in referring to the overwhelming majority piled up against Cox in the last presidential election, when he stressed the advisability of American entrance into the Wilson League of Nations. “Fruits of Waiting” “Those who have suffered such a defeat, when they meet again, know that they are soon to gather the fruits of their waiting and their faith. “In national affairs we can be neither reactionary nor radical, but we must, in both platform and candidate, satisfy that liberal sentiment which knows that growth is pie law of life. “Our task is to make a program so constructive and inclusive as will draw men away from the petty and futile, and devote them, as crusaders are devoted, to causes which are intrinsically worth while.” Referring in conclusion to the fitness of Cox. he said: Ohio’s Favorite Son “Ohir has searched her heart and finds a favorite son whom she 'Confidently bids me name. It would abuse your patience to recite again the achievements which once led the Democracy of America to send him forth to preach her faith and you will bear witness with me that he carried that faith throughout the country with such zeal, intelligence and courage that even in defeat he stood a knightly figure, catching up his falling arms ere they touched the ground to renew the contest relentlessly until a bare day in a clear light when a light hope shall wlri our unconquerable purpose prevail. ‘ Without hesitation or wavering he fought the long 1920 campaign, debating; with doubt, appealing to our higher emotions, battling back the tide of ills which, rising out of the chaos of the world, filially included us with the peoples of Europe as the children of despair.” CONDUCTOR GETS S4OO Jury Awards Osa Coffin Small Part of $15,000 Request.

Bu XEA Service iMAHA, Neb., June 27. — OThey are even computing gasoline prices by mills here now. One dealer is selling it at 12.9 cents a gallon. Printed price tags no longer adorn the tanks at Omaha's 125 filling stations. Chalk is the only medium that can keep pace with a single day’s developments. Every half hour sees some new low cost sensation splashed all over the sidewalk to attract motorists’ attention. But still Omaha’s gas war rages! Starting at 20L cents a gallon in March the price at first dropped slowly, then rapidly—l 7, 15, 14, 12, 13. IS 3 *, 13V6. 13Vi, 13 cents.

Judge J. W. Woodrough. The subject of the hapless gas consumer arose during the meal. The dentistj a little Frenchman, Dr. F. J. Depescher, listened intently, but said little. That night, unable to sleep, the thought of the consumers' plight kept running through his mind. “All at once I realized that I hadn’t been listening to my friends * he says, “but to every motorist in Omaha! It seemed to me that if we would all speak out it would have to have some influence in bringing down the prices. "Now a man can’t always be talking about cheap gasoline. But he can always wear a little button in his coat lapel. So I decided that such a button, vith just the inscription, “:5c League,” would bi 5 * the thing. "So next morning when I got downtown I ordered 2,900 of them. Then I began passing them out to my friends.

“Wearers made signed promises not to use gasoline for pleasure purposes and to walk when the distances were short until prices came down.” A municipal election rolled around. Fire Commissioner John Hopkins, up for re-election, made cheaper gasoline a campaign issue. He was swept back into office by an overwhelming majority. He immediately began to make good his pledge. At one of the engine houses he set up a municipal filling station. Seventeen cents was his price.” In May. the “15c League” started up in business right next fixr, not with any intention of running the city’s station out of business, but to help u sell gas at 17 cents. Then the “15c League” brought its price down to 15 cents. Since then the cutting has been going on right and left. And the fever is spreading to other Nebraska cities.

KEAN HOBGOBLIN DISTURBS SLEEP OF DEMOCRATS Rumor Kluxers Will Support Senator Ralston as Second Choice, Bv LOWELL MELLETT Times Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 27.—The hooded hobgoblin of the Klan continued to blight proceedings of the Democratic national convention today. It literally destroyed the sleep of the platform framers last night and filled the dreams of all the candidates with fevered fear. Until 3:03 a. m. the fifty-four members of the resolutions committee worked to reconcile their differences on the language that should be used in expressing Democracy's distaste for any organization that doesn’t keep its nightshirts in its boudoirs. At that unhappy hour the fiftyfour threw up their hands and passed the job back to the sub-com-mittee which is drafting the planks. This sub-committee had earlier passed the buck to the full committee. Anti-Klansmen Determined The anti-Klan leaders have not repented from their purpose to carry j the war to the convention floor. They have ceased to expect the sort of plank they demand, one naming the enemy by its three-K’d title, so there may be no mistake about what they mean. They say they have more than enough votes. This now seems unlikely. Test votes in the resolutions committee show only ten out of the fifty-four members now favor naming the Klan. In the sub-committee only three out of the eleven favor it. The claim that there is a majority of 120 votes on the other side in the convention requires considerable discounting. Meantime, the Klan bogey has bobbed up in another manner. Stories are filling the air that Klansmen and Klan sympathizers have decided to throw their strength to Senator Ralston if it becomes apparent that McAdoo cannot win. j Ralston is on record as unsympathetic toward the Klan, notwithstanding that the Klan in Indiana I asserts it is responsible for his vicj tory over Albert J. Beveridge. Taggart Displeased The reports are bothering Tom Taggart. Taggart, wants all the votes he can get for Ralston, but he doubts the valuefi at this stage, of having the Klan label affixed to the Hoosier statesman It would forever prevent the ad herenee of Illinois and New York to the Indiana standard. Even if it made Ralston’s nomination possible, Taggart doesn't want bis candidate to carry the Klan handicap in the coming campaign. He would iike to have Ralston continue as the candidate that, nobody has anything against, on this issue as well as others, if he succeeds in keeping the Senator out of the jam now threatening, he will deserve all the admiring things said about his generalship.
