THE BEEr 'OMAHA;v FRIDAY, ' JUNE 16, 1916. UR. JAHES SOUNDS SECONDKEYNOTE Kentucky Senator, Who it Per manent Chairman, Eeviewi Work of Administration. " "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.

':.;''" 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. which was pigeon-holed by a republi can secretary-of the navy, and the other by President Wilson ht his ad- , dress to congress last December. "Bat .what happened when 'this : matter was under consideration in the naval affairs committee of the house, . continued the senator. , "Every repub- scsa mcBiocr uu mc commuter ue- cded to oppose the president s 'con' tatnoas program' and. would vote for bo orocram lonaer than one year.

At half- past twelve (note weil the memorable hour), astonished bv a nile-drivins signal from the retiring, in one sense, cnairman or tne national committee in atmosphere which the esteemed St. Louis Republic avers was oul:no- with red-blooded Americanism the demo cratic national convention of 1916 be gan to write history, as the chairman quaintly put it.

Mr. Bryan is not quite a liurke, but in comparison with contemnorarv "leaders": who have no more tierson- ality than a goldfish, he looms like a great rock in the weary land. He is unlike them, also, in that he is sin cere, and his sincerity does not pain 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 ing adoration, were directed toward the familiar figure in the black alnaca coat, "a mere looker-on in the press s-and, but Triton amoie the min. nows, to coin a pnrase.

Ihen the oratory began. It wat pure jargon and Mr. Martin Glynn 1 considerable jargonaut The audi ence was admonished, according to formula, not to forget the facts of History, as it one could forget' some' thing he never knew. In exploring the past Senator Harding, the repub lican jargonaut, stopped with George 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 first demonstration, aa wild as the Mississippi and as effervescent a its waters. At this point 1 observed that Mr, Ted Phillios. his unlia-hted clear at the usual angle, had dropped asleep so I returned to the hotel to take refuge in Plato. Quite at random I opened to the following dialogue: "But who are these elected kines and priests who now come into view with a crowd of retainers as the for mer class disappears and the scene changes?":, ", 1 : v- : i ' Whom do they mean? "How strangely they look." "Why strangely?" . 1 HA minute aao I thought that thev were all sorts of animals,' for many of them are like lions and centaurs and many more like satyrs and the weak ana versatile sort of animals perotean shapes. ever changing their form and natures; and now Socrates I, began to tee who they are." ; "Who are they? You seem to be gazing on some strange vision." "Yes; everyone lo-ks strange when you do not know him; and at first sight suddenly coming on him I did not recognize the politician and his troop. "Who is he?" "The chief of sophists and most ac comptished of wizards, who must at any cost be separated from the true king or statesman, if we are. ever to see daylight in the present- inquiry." "That is certainly not a hope to be t!nh.l.. - . I " Can we see any more daylight to. day than the Athenians hoped for? 1 heard a short but good speech the night pctore. A Wisconsin delegate, not quite too full for utterance, ad' dressed a irroup of gentlemen in the adjacent chairs. He said in part and in whole, for he was not allowed to proceed: "This country, gentlemen. has went through more prosperity in the last four years, than this world has ever saw." , "Among the great achievements of the democratic party," Mr. McCombs ioiq us loaay, is rnis; iv unmasKcu the "bogus fraud" of protection. No doubt you have wondered what the paramount issue is to be. Mr. Glynn disclosed it midway of his ad dress. The paramount issue, ladies and gentlemen, is thii: "Thank God for Wilson." Here is a story S. Angus McSween of the Philadelphia North American ha been telling with great success except with Mr. Harry Hyde, wno, although he has heard it seven times, is still groping for the point: "It was in the elevator of the. Kaiserhof in Chicago." relates Angus as he stoppeth one of three. "It was late ana tne elevator man was aieepy. 'Vote floor, plees,' said ha, 'Seven teenth.' Just then another passenger entered. 'Vote floor, plees?' asked the e. m. 'Eighth,' said the passen ger. 'Veil,' said the e. m., 'you air.'t got far to go; I take the other man up first'" Representatives of the American Union Against Militarism waited on 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 Herbert Friedman asked me to say somehting about the subject, and I am more than commonly happy to oblige. . ..' ' I little Marjorie in the audience?

Kural Credit BUI, . 1 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. i he senator also replied to republi can criticisms- of the administration's shipping bill' which, he declared, would Save given the United States an adequate merchant marine by now bad it not been killed at the last ses sion of congress by a republican fili buster.' .. . .

"It is a perfectly easy thing," he continued, "for the president of the united Mates to plunge nis country 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 march an army of widow and or. phans, an army of cripples and men broken in health, an army of pension era, and an arm of tax collector gathering up the earnings of the peo ple to pay the great war debt .

""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.

He has elevated himself to that lofty but lowly eminence occupied by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson, the three worst abused and best-loved Americans the republic ever grew."

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. plRtrooolns Cough Curat.

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. BnU Mooee for Horhee. WaeWntton, June IS.
