MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 24.—Rolling along on a great wave of party enthu- siasm despite its deep dif- ferences over candidates, the Democratic national convention at one brief session today gave It- self over to cheers for the party and roaring approval of temporary Chairman Pat Harrison's lambast- ing of the Harding-Coolidge admin- istration. — / $ § While the contest over delegates and rlatform princ'ples temporarily was laid aside, the thirteen thousand delegates and visitors at the conven- tion gathered under the sizzling roof of Madison Square garden-—home of many a great show but none efeater than this—to go through the formal- ities of getting the conveiit'on "under way. . Shakes for Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland rose in a’ growing cres- «endo until Chairman Harrison men- tioned the name of Woodrow Wil- son. That was the signal for the first demonstration and everybody went to it regardless of Sympathy for Smith or McAdoo. — State stand- ards came up quickly from fheir places find soon the floor was jam- med with a mass of milling, march- g delegates prancing about chant- ing the songs which became famous jn the war days of Wilson. It was nearly a° half hour before the great audience was quieted again. and Chairman Harrison went back to his keynote address. Closing with a plea for harmony and a united democracy whatever the decisions of the convention might be, Chairman Harrison said: It would seem that we can hear the voice of sweet reasonableness coming to ys from) Monticello; the volee of Old Hickory coming across the blue ridge; and from the historic crypt of St. Albans we hear the mighty voice of Woodrow Wilson calling to us ‘tp you from falling hands we throw the torch; hold it high; carry on; carry on; keep the faith; keep the faith.” In succession and while the con- vention cheered each new point of attack, Senator Harrison turned the guns of his best oratory on the Re- publican administration for all its Policies ranging from foreign to domestic and centered. his attack on the developments of the congres- sional investigation at Washington. The delivery of the keynote ad- dress was. the principal part of to- Nay’s business in the convention. The remainder of the, proceedings Was prefunctory and connected with the organization machinery. Until} the convention re-assembles tomorrow, various committees will cont!nze thelr work.

It might have reduced liv- ing costs, redeemed pledges to the soldier, followed a definite domestic program, and adopted a broad and statesmaniike forelgn policy, but even then, it would have availed it nothing with its carnival of corrup- tion. “The least that,the American peo- ple expect of their public servants is common honesty. They will for- give thelr passivity, overlook their indiscretions, and, too often, forget their ingpotency, but to them corrup- tion is inexcusable, graft is‘ inde- fensible,” : Referring to senate “inquiries, Senator Harrison was ufisparing in his criticisms of former Secretaries Denby ‘and Fall, former Attorney General. Daughérty, Charlies R: Forbes, former head of the Veterans’ Bureau and former Senator New- berry of Michigan. He paid high tribute to Senator Thomas J.

HALF MILLION POUNDS OF NATRONA WOOL SOLD; NEW CLIPS NOW MOVING Prices of 36 and 36 1-2 Cents Paid Here for.Some and Others at Smaller ‘Amounts; Wind River Sales A half million pounds of wool in two clips was sold here several days ago. The A. J..Cunningham clip of 250,000 pounds brought 86% cents, while the combined Grieve and Ef Ell clips of 250,000 pounds went at 36 cents, In addition to these two large sales, several smaller clips were marketed at the same time at prices ranging from 83 to 86 cents a pound. In the Wind river section ‘of the state Silberman and son turned down car of wool at Riverton of- fered to them for 35 cents, These buyers then purchased at that place several. cara of small clips, mixed Jot gist ~-fyem® farmerfockmasters, at 32 cents, During the week the Silberman company loaded out the Arthur Groft and John Piggott clips which had been purchased earlier in the season by contract at prices of 42% and 40% cents. The 70,000- pound clip of Lon J. Poston was shipped to Hallowell, Jones and - Donnell of Boston. This company contracted some time ago for Pos- ton's clip, giving him 42 cents. Many of the 1924 clips still re- main in the hands of the growers who are balking at present prices. This is particularly true in Fremont county. Those who did not let loose when buyers were active and bids were comparatively high, are sitting back and waiting for a reaction that will stir up the market. At Lander the Yellowstone Sheep company has just @ispored of 15,000 flesces at 35% .ecnts.

It was Attorney Hemingway's opinion as presented to the mayor and-counci! last night that the city Police force should not be asked to do more than treat Mquor violations as a nuisance, remembering that there are plenty of teeth in the state and federal laws and that the state and federal government can Inflict penalties commensurate with the seriousness of the violation, an impossibility for the city.
