"DEMOCRATS HAVE HADE GOOD"
St Louis, June 15. The 'achieve
ment of the Wilson administration
in enacting beneficial legislation and
in keeping the country at peace with
out sacrifice of the national; honor
were pronounced epoch-making in
American history by Senator Ollie M.
June of Kentucky in his address to
day as permanent -chairman of the
democratic national convention.
"During three years of it national
control,' said Senator James, "democr
; racy has enacted into law more pro
gressive remedial legislation than the
nation has ever 'had' written upon its
statute , books since its birth. In
former national contests in- the last
two decades our party came as a
prophet Today we come with deeds,
not words; with performance, not
' promise. The democratic party has
kept its word with the American peo
ple, we nave maae gooa. r
. The chairman reviewed at leneth
the legislative record of the adminis
tration and eulogized the president
for his direction of foreign affairs.
The democrats, he said, had enacted
a tariff law under which monopolies
were curbed and unexampled prosper
ity attained; a banking law taking the
money control out of the hands of an
oligarchy and making panics no long
er possible, and many reform meas-
ures of lesser importance.
Mexican Policy Approved.
He declared President Wilson's
Mexican policy and his course in pro
tecting American rights against the
enchoachments of European bellig
erents had shown all the world that
the president "neither bullies the weak
nor fears the strong."- - f 1 . ;
In a concluding appeal for the tri
umph of patriotism above politics,
'Senator James said the renomination
of such a president in partisan con
vention ought not to be necessary,
and that to discredit him might palsy
the hand that could write the peace
treaty of the world.
At the outset the senator referred
briefly to President Wilson's $ cam
paign against lobbying in congress
and pointed out. that under this ad.
ministration the constitution had been
amended for the first time since the
civil war, when "we freed the senate
from the control of the great interests
by making it elective by the people at
the polls." He then eulogired the
Underwood-Simmons tariff act as one
of which the party was justly proud;
"Not a schedule in it fosters 'a
monopoly." he said. Our republican
friends told us it would close the fac
tories, fill the streets, with .idle men,
produce a panic, create soup- houses
and distress would reign everywhere;
bat we rejoice today to point to an
unexampled prosperity in the nation
' with labor more generally employed,
at higher rates, shorter hours and bet
ter conditions than erer before. Our
republican friends tell us that after
the war is over poor, stricken, pros
;. trate, torn, bleeding Europe will take
our home market from us. I have no
such fear. America is going to take
the markets of the world. But we
shall cut from them the last hope of
having even a false issue, for we shall
pass a bill creating a tariff board to
gather the facts created by new war
condition," v, , ;. ... ;,v ftV-.
Kederal Resource Law Good.
Turning to the federal reserve law,
Senator James declared that it alone
averted a panic at the outbreak of the
.European war.t- .V -r-
"What would have been the result
if the old republican system had been
in effect?" he asked. "The stock ex
changes in every city in the world
were closed. Europe poured it vast
holdings in plethargic streams upon
our shores. Who thinks that the old
republican system of finance under
the guidance of those patriotic guard
ians would have been able to with
stand this mighty cataclysm? ' But
what was the result? Not a bank
closed its doors; not a laborer was
thrown put of employment not a bus
iness was forced into bankruptcy; but
there stood strong, serving the masses
of mankind, this great legislative
achievement of the democratic party.
As the muter achievement of Wood
row Wilson, to my mind,- next to
keeping a hundred million people at
peace with the world, the historian
will record the federal reserve law."
Declaring that "self defense and
preparation for it is as necessary now
as ever before," the speaker pointed
to the administration's preparedness
program as a proof that the party be-'
- Jieved in "preparedness without mili
tarism." ,
"In 1908," he continued, "I attended
the great peace conference held in
London. I thought that the millen
ium of peace had come and such a
thing as the world's war was impos
sible; but that day when the Christian
heart shall rule the world is hot in
sight . We must not mistake dishonor
for peace, as we fnno( mistake op
pression for peace. ' Woodrow Wil
son" and the democratic party advo
cate an army big enough to make ag
gressors think the second time before
they strike a blow. . Democracy wants
an army and a navy in keeping with
the dignity, preservation and worth of
this great republic, W do not want
a foot of anybody, else's soil, and,, by
the eternal God, they shall not take a
foot of our, ''"""i". i,'.,;:','.';.'-. v'"
Army and Navy" Growing.,
"During thi administration " we
1 have done more to build up an army
and navy in three years than the re
' publican party did in forty years of
its existence. 1 More has been done to
give the American people a navy and
army in three months than Colonel
Roosevelt and Mr. Taft did in eleven
'Tear ,. : if:-.: ... ':.;''"
Senator James spoke of the repub
f Bean platform declaration for "a con
tinuous doIkv of national defense.'
declaring that only two propositions
for a continuous policy ever had been
made in American history, One by the
sreneral board -of the navy in 1903.

St Louis, Mo., June 15. At half-

great rock in the weary land. He is
unlike them, also, in that he is sin

me so much as perhaps it should. I
watched him during the ample invo
cation of the divine blessing and his
half-closed eves and movintr Ims were
not I felt, mere mummery. Hundreds
of other eyes, many of them express

the familiar figure in the black alnaca

Washington, but Mr. Glvnn took us
bark to Caeser and Hannibal and with
enexorable logic proved that the dem
ocrats are the people and all wisdom
will perish with them. A reference
to victory in November evoked the

Mr, Ted Phillios. his unlia-hted clear
at the usual angle, had dropped asleep
so I returned to the hotel to take

"Who are they? You seem to be

"Yes; everyone lo-ks strange when

not recognize the politician and his

"Who is he?"
"The chief of sophists and most ac

Here is a story S. Angus McSween

Representatives of the American

the resolutions committee today to
work against something which the
democratic party has not the least in
tention of doing i. e., providing an
adequate military establishment. The
committee is asked to "declare
"against" five things, but that is not
the democratic way. The democratic
way is to declare "for" a thing, and
then chuck it. Kristal Eastman and

The republican plank, declaring for
"an effective 'system of rural credits
as opposed to the ineffective law pro
posed by the present democratic- ad
ministration," was assailed by Senator
James,- who declared that almost
every republican in the house and sen
ate had voted for the administration's
rural credits bill and that none had
charged that it was ineffective or had
proposed a substitute.

can criticisms- of the administration's

For the first time in the history of

after reviewing' briefly democratic
legislation which he declared had
made prosperity possible, "the United
State leads the world in exports. We
are more prosperous than ever, and
mill which have not turned a spin

laborers of the United State are em

"It is a perfectly easy thing," he
continued, "for the president of the

into war if he is a politician before
he it a patriot. He would seek his
own re-election as he came upon
horseback up the bloody highway of
contending armies. Of course, our
army could invade Mexico and march
in triumph to its capital, but after
the war was over other armies would

""No" president during the life of
this republic" (aid the senator, "baa
ever had to deal with so many deli
cate and dangerous problems as those
which have confronted President
Wilson. With more than half of the
world in arms in Europe, with Mexico
in revolution at our border, these
difficult, and complicating problems
have confronted him almost daily,
and he has handled them as becomes
a patriot and a statesman. When
the Lusitahla was sunk the militant
voice of. Theodore Roosevelt cried
out for war, and if he had been presi
dent of the United States, at that time
today 500,000 brave American sons
would be contending around the forts
of Verdun in this mighty maelstrom
of blood thousands -would have
been buried in ditches. ; Our presi
dent, patient, patriotic, far-sighted,
the real statesman, handled this ques
tion with the greatest ability and
won fof America its greatest diplo
matic victory. There are happily two
kinds of courage, the courage of the
man who is willing to undertake the
dangers himself and the courage of
the man that sends others to the
conflict. Woodrow Wilson has both
kinds of courage the courage of con

called Woodrow Wilson the school

American life and American rights
under international law. And with
out orphaning a single American
child, without widowing a' single
American mother, without firing a
tingle gun, he wrung from the most
militant spirit that ever brooded
above a battlefield, an acknowledge

agreement to American demands. He
has elevated himself to that lofty but
lowly eminence occupied by George

WILSON TELEGRAPHS
ANTI-HYPHEN PLANK
President Wire It to St Louis for
Insertion is the Party'
Platform.
WILL PKOBABLY BE EDITED
St Louis, Mo., June 15. President
Wilson's plank on Americanism for
the democratic platform, practically
charging a ' conspiracy by some for
eign-born citizens to influence foreign
and internal affairs for the benefit of
other governments and condemning
any organization countenancing such
movements, as well as any political
party, which, by failure to repudiate
such a conspiracy, receives the benefit
of it at the ballot box, was telegraphed
last night, from V Washington and
placed before democratic leaders.
It was understood tonight that
from the following ten men will be
chosen the subcommittee which will
put the platform in terms for submis
sion to the convention: . '
Senator Stone of Missouri, Senator
Hollis of New Hampshire, Repre
sentative FitzGerald of New York,
former Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer of Pennsylvania, Senator Mar
tin of Virginia, Governor Stanley of
Kentucky, Senator Pomerene of Ohio,
Representative Rainey of Illinois,
Senator Walsh of Montana and Sen
ator Pittman of Nevada.
Subcommittee Named.
The following subcommittee to
draft the platform was named: Sena
tor Stone of Missouri, chairman; Rep
resentative Rainey of Illinois, Senator
Walsh of Montana, Senator Hollis of
New Hampshire, Representative Fitz
Gerald of New York, Senator Pomer
ene of Ohio, former Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, Sen
ator Martin of Virginia and Governor
Stanley of Kentucky.
One tentative form for the wording
of the plank which w;s being con
sidered tonight, but which was sub
ject to change by the committee, was
as follows: ,
"Attention is called to certain or
ganizations which have been attempt
ing to influence the course of Ameri
can lives and policies in the interest
of foreitm oowers. Such organiza
tions are condemned and any political
party which seek to take advantage
of such influence is denounced."
This would be followed by a decla
ration to make it clear that the plank
is in no way to be taken as a reflec
tion upon the great body of natural
ized citizens, irrespective of their race
or origin. r
Representative Rainey of Illinois,
who is, leading the administration
fight in the house for tho tariff com
mission bill, will u.-aw the tariff plank.
Besides praising the present tariff law
it is planned to declare for a protec
tive tariff for the dyeatuff industry
for. a. period of probably five years.
some ot the democrats expect a con
test in the committee over such a
protective feature, but it will be
oointed out that no dyestuff industry
of nronortions now exists in America
and that'the .duties are intended solely
to protect the new industry trom the
dumping of European dyes which is
expected to follow the' war and the
resumption, of ocean transportation
from the. central empires. .: ; -,
Will Lay Off Mexico.
Conferences' among leaders which
have followed the arrival of Secre
tary Baker with first hand words
trom r resident wnson on many tea
tures of the declaration of principles
broueht the Status of the democratic
platform tonight to a point where
aside from the all-important issue of
foreign affairs, it stood substantially
as follows: .
No specifc mention would be made
of Mexico and that subject will be
covered by implication in general dec
larations outlining relations of the
United States with other govern
ments. This portion of the platform
would declare unequivocally for the
right of every nation to regulate its
own internal affairs and would point
out that this government would be
satisfied with nothing less for itself.

Signs of Orderly Quiet Everywhere
Mark the Proceedings at St Louis
BY EDGAR C. SNYDER.
St Louis, June 15. (Special Tele
gram.) Fifty members of the Dahl
man Democratic club and their friends
were entertained today by the grain
dealers of St Louis with a ride about
the city and a dinner at Sunset inn,
one of the most picturesque spots in
the whole west, according to those
who know.
Richard Lee Metcalf of the Nebras
kan, who arrived in St. Louis today,
was a looker-on at the national con
vention from me men's box. He be
lieves Governor Glynn's speech is
a campaign document in itself, and
will be widely used throughout the
country. Of the Chicago convention,
Mr. Metcalf said: "I am glad as a
newspaper man and a friend that Mr.
Victor Rosewater's judgment as to
the nominee was endorsed by the
convention. I believe this makes Mr.
Rosewater the real leader of the re
publican party in our state. He cer
tainly deserves it, for his consistency
and his ability t size up a complicated
and his ability to size up a compli
cated situation.
Lee Metcalf, business manager of
the . Nebraskan, will arrive in St
Louis tomorrow to attend the big
show.
The Cook county democracy, the
heaviest aggregation of democrats in
the city, had considerable to do with
the tumult and the shouting. This
organization from Chicago comes
here bent on stirring up a boom for
Roger Sullivan for vice president
Mr. Sullivan himself says he knows
the 'boys don't want him down in
Washington, and his political oppon
ent, Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
has this to say of all vice presidential
booms in St. Louis:
'They come here as candidates for
the vice presidency of the United
States, and then use the noise to
help them run for their state legislatures."
Jack Sullivan of O'Neill, who was
at one time thought to be a contender
for the heavyweight championship of
the world against Jess Willard, was
a caller at Nebraska headquarters today.
. Mayor Dahlman -is expected' to ar
rive in the morning and the boys will
meet Jim at the union station with
a band. Some doings here.
The Mule Bend Jubilee singers last
night sung "hee-haws" and other
vocal mystries while the Iowa delega
tion captured Olive street, walked
right into the Hotel Jefferson, turned
around, and marched right out again.
"We ain't goin' nowhere, for we've
been there, and are just coming back,"
one of the leaders shouted, when
asked where they were going.
The delegation back-tracked to the
Planters hotel, presented their noisy
compliments, and started out again.
The ready answer of the marchers
was: "We haven't anything yet, for
we're just getting limbered up."
At midnight they were still going.
Looking over the list of delegate:
for names, one is struck with certain
peculiarities in the Massachusetts
delegation as these: Wall, O'Neill,
Sullivan, Ryan, Conifer, , Downey,
Welch, O'Connetl, Q'Rourke, Sully
O'Connor, Crowley, Doherty, O Bnen,
Donohoe, Hennessey, Ahearn, Mono
han and Curran.
In the Wisconsin delegation are
Messrs. Wolfe, Stahl. Webber, Weiss,
Litza, Grutsa, Schmitz, Borchers,
Schultz, Pfiffner, Pietrowski and
Strouse. . .
In the Hawaiian delegation are
Messrs. Picheco, Uluisi and Keoho
kalole. In the Virginia delegation are
Messrs. Stuart, Flood, Early, Boyds,
Lee,x Thorn and Buchanan.
From Minnesota are Messrs. Larn
berton, Nygreen, Helweg, Jenswold,
Olsen, Williamson and Pederson.
In the Nebraska delegation: Pla
cek, Bossie, Piatti, Gooch.
Whether Governor Morehead's
name is to be presented to the con
vention as a vice presidential candi
date is a mooted question. Governor
Morehead is undecided. Tomorrow
will determine. My judgment is that
he will not go before the convention
and "Bill" Price will be left with an
undelivered speech. Sad, isn't it.
