will endeavor to eliminate all unneces-j
,pary middlemen by the encouragement
i of organizations frmong producers that

"Wo have been preaching and en

giving them unrest and dissatisfac

they were foredoomed to disappoint

from satiety or indulgence, it comes
from achievement. Greater liberty
does not mean less responsibility, it
means more responsibility. If econ

"But If America Is to lead, her peo

"Whether we seize tho opportunity
to lead in a great advance depends
nololy on ourselves. We havo the re

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S. The'
lengue or nations covonant was cham-j
pioncd as tho "Monroe Doctrine of j
the-world" by Homer Cummings, tern- ,
poi-ary chairman of the Demcratle '
national convention, In his keynote (
address hero today.
Of the peace treaty's defeat in tr-c;
senate, he said; "No blacke crime;
r.galnsC civilization has ever soiled the,
pajres of our history."
He:haracterized the Republican .
platform as."reactlonay and provin
cial." Filled with premeditated
slanders and vague pvomUos. it w:li bf-:
searched .In ain for one constructive
suggestion for the reformation of th
conditions which it criticises and do-.
plorcs," he continued.
"Tlie oppressed peoples of the arlh
will look to it In vain. It cor.Uins
no message of hope for Ireland., no
word -of mercy for Armenia: ad it
conceals a swbrd for Mexico. It L ,
the work of men concerned more i
Titlr material things than with hu- j
man rights. . It .contains no thought.
anf U for-tf ch'Oft nKSve-inrpti Be -0 r
"thvlll to those wh.d love liberty and 1
hope to make the world a safer rnd
happier place for the average man,"
He declared that the peace tinu
record of the Democratic party from ,
March 1913. to the outbreak of the,
1 world war has to Its credit "more ef- j
' fsctive, constructive and remedial lec- ,
islation than the Republican party had
'placed upon tho statute boo!s .n a
j generation."
' Praising the administration's ru:, '
In he war he nald:, "We fought a
1 j;rentvwa.r. for a great cause and we j
j had a leadership that carried America ,
to greater helyhts of honor and now-;
cr and g.lory than she has ever known
j before in her entire history." i
I "Let no ono misunderstand us. ThfHe
great affairs were carried forward j
under the stimulus of Amerlcm pa-,
trlotlsm. suported by tho eoumire and
I spirit of our people. All this is freely '
I and gladly acknowledged, but surely
I tho time has come when, becone of
l the calculated criticism and premedl
1 tated calumnies of the opposition, we
are entitled to call attention to the
J fact that all of these things wero ac
icompllshed under the leadership of a
! great Democrat and of a great Demo
cratic administration. If the Republi
can Ieadera are not able to rejoice
with us in thl3 American triumph they
should have the grace to remain silent,
for It does not lie in tho mouths of
I those who conducted the Spanlsh-
American war to indulge in the lux
i ury at criticism."
j Smclllup; Commfctces.
, Referring to congressional investi
gations by "smelling committees." he
I said that over 80 lnvosM?aiionj have
I been made, over two million dollars
wasted' and "the result has been to
! prove that it wns the cleanest war ever
fought In the history of civilization."
"The Republican party became so
fixed In its incorrigible habit of con
ducting investigations that it finally
turned to the fruitful lask of Investl
' gating Itself. They discovered fraud
and graft kind gross and Inexcusable
expenditures. The revelations disclose
the fact that the meeting' at Chicago
was not a convention, but an auction.
The highest bidder, however, did not
get the prize. Tho publicity which
overtook tho proceedings frustrated
the Initial purpose- The Chicago con
vention left iho Democratic party as
tho solo custodian of tho honor of tho
eminlrv."
Tells of Wilson Stand.
It is not reservations that tho presi
dent stands apalnst, said Mr. Cuxn
mlngs. but nullification. He told how
President Wilson had published the
tentative text of the league covonant
widely In 1919. asking for criticism
and receiving suggestions from Tafl.
Hughes and others that wore "actually
Incorporated Into tho revised draft of
the league.'"
Senator Lodge, he said, refused to
offer constructive amendments at any
time. "So intolerant was his attitude
that ho would not even consider a
compromise proposed by Former
Prcsldont Taft of his own party and
which was assured of support of -10
Domocratlc senators.' Senator Lodge
knew that he controlled tho senate
and that in his own time and way he
would destroy tho treaty.
"This Is tho sordid story of It's de
feat," said Cumlngs, after reviewing
tho sonate's action in thn matter. "No
blacker crimo against civilization has
over soiled tho pages of our history.
The last chapter was written at Chi
cago," "Lot tho true purpose of our party
be cloarly understood," ho said In
concluding his address. "Wo stand
squarely for tho same Ideals of peace
us those for which the war was fought.
We support without flinching the only
feaslblo plan for peaco and Justice.
Wo will not submit to the repudia
tion of the peaco treaty or to any
process by which it is whittled down
to tho vanishing- point. Wo deellno to
compromise our principles or pawn

I June 2S. Thirty minuten before the
hour set for the opening of the con- IH
vention the brass band reside tho o.- IH
: gan loft was blaring popular airs and
I the delegates were beginning to trail
into the hall. Tho stood about in
groups discussing candidates and m- IH
. sues. None of the convention offlcltls IH
or leaders had urrlved at that hour
case with all conventions it probably
would be late in starting. A supply of
California redwood gavels made from iH
the celebrated burls of the redwood iH
trees wore brought to the platfo.ni jH
ready for use. Official photographers JM
and movie men were busy lookln" for
notables with little success. Wotnrij

all were supplied with words of pollti- IH

Completely refitted for the conven-

a fine picture of neatness and pollen IH
unusual in convention halls. jH
The big dome which hitherto had IH
been a handicap to acoustics was cut IH
off with a new false celling of drab
colored canvas decorated in blade nnd
while figures like an overgrown fancy
parasol.
The scats and gallery floors also
wero in drab and there was only
enough flags and bunting to complete
the harmony of the scene without a IH
touch of gaudlnoss.
It looked much different than when IH
President Wilson made his speech
here in September for the leaguo of
nations. On that occasion there was
nothing but confusion, tho acoustics IH
went to pieces and only a few of tho IH
many thousands who came in could
hear tho president's words, iosidea
