'he opportunity is before us. The duty, the responsibility, is ours. The nation expects, yea demands, of us a leader who exemplifies the prin- ¢Iples of government associated with the name of Thomas Jefferson, a lead- er whose heart is attuned to the pul- rations of those who labor on the farm and in the mines, at the desk and in 1he household, who heeds the cry of all the people for a larger life, rather than the plea of the few, the of fortune, who are eager to exploit their fellows: a leader who has the Vision to divine and the courage to the paths to which national honor points and that lead to national, distinguished from exceptional, Prosperity. Such a leader our party lately gave to the nation to guide its course and direct its energles in the Ereatest crisis that ever rocked the #lobe.

It was easy to pass from the idea expressed in very nation for itself” to the re- lated thought in “every man for him- ‘sl This recession to a lower moral standard was not a phenom- enon without an historic parallel. Example of Roosevelt. A little less than a generation ago a President of the United States re- peatedly declaimed, in what was by some regarded as intemperate lan- guage, against the sordid and corrupt influences that had become manifest n our national life. He did more. He invoked the penalties of the law rzainst malefactors, high and low, and if it be true, as charged, that he occasionally looked leniently on the offenses of his friends, it is equally true that his acts as well as his words contributed materially to a restored respect for the Mosaic command, “Thou shal: not steal’ as applicable 10 less to the affairs of government than to those of private life. There followed a period when a complacent President tolerated the return of the pirit partially exorcised by his pred- weessor, giving rise to the Ballin- £er scandal, a symptom of the re- surgence of the elements within his party that had used and were deter- rzfmed to use the agencies of the gov- crnment within, and, wherever safe, without the law, for private gain, 'he catastrophe which overtook the Republican party in consequence of the revolt in its own ranks against the sinister influence which dominat- «d it need not be recounted, but it is significant of the character of their protest that that organization was denounced by one-half of its former adherents as essentially and irre- trievably corrupt, and that they sig- nalized their severance from it by singing ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers.” Administration of Wilson. “T will say nothing of the period of Democratic ascendency which followed further than that after public mon- eys, in sums the magnitude of which the ordinary mind has and can have no adequate conception except by comparison, had been authorized and spent in the prosecution of the great- est war of all time by those who, during that season of storm, repre. sented us officially, and investigation after investigation, undertaken by their political opponents, had revealed nothing culpable, the inquiry col- _lapsed under the scorn of the gen- tleman who. two weeks ago, was me- corded by the Republican party the second honor In its gift. “When it is remembered that it was the same elements within it that con- trolled and wrecked that party in 1912 which retained the supremacy in 1920, over a more or less reunited organization, contemptuous of all as- pirations having a spiritual basis, either in national or international af- fairs, arrogant in victory, it is not surprising that its promises solemnly made in its platform to promote the organization of an assoclation of na- tions for the adjustment of intern: tional controversles, to supplant the league of nations with which the name of the greatest American Presi- dent, save only Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln, i8 8o intimately associat- ed, should be speedily consigned to obiivion.

Grant, though it left him untouched, was denounced by none more roundly or with great- er effect than by Willlam Cullen Bry- ant, William E.

They found no exten- uation of the crimes that in their day polluted the reeord of the party they had helped set on foot, in a Ssupposed after-the-war psychology. Instead of excoriating the un- faithful public servants of whose misdeeds the uttermost parts of the earth are not uninformed, to the dis- grace of the nation as well as of themselves, palliation is attempted in the absurd observation, emanating from the White House, that “men are involved who belong to both po- litical parties” a charge character- ized by one of the few leading Re- publican papers that have declined to condone the offense revealed as a ‘pal- try bit of political misrepresentation.’ ‘'ommenting further on the dis- closures touching the leases of the naval oil reserves, the same journal remarks pertinentiy that’the ‘matter of real concern is the corrupt proce- dure of a member of the cabinet and the connivance of two of his col- leagues,’ and that ‘it is incontesta- ble that responsibility for the scan- dal rests square upon the Repub- lican party. Peril in Tolerance. “It is in_ this easy tolerance of | turpitude in public office that the| real peril to free government lies rather than in its casual occurrence. “Touching the abuse heaped upon those through whose efforts the in vestigations were made effective and | the Congress which authorized them, | the president of the foremost wom- | an's college in America wrote: 1 am amazed, not at Congress, but at the people, who seem for th first time in history to contemplate | graft in high office with resigna- | tion’ The distinguished educator | must have meant some of the people, | for 1 cannot believe that more than a negligible number regard with un- concern either the ignominy uncov- | ered or the palpable falsehood of the Republican platform in its assertion | that ‘the recent congressional inves- | tigations have exposed instances in both political parties of men in pub- lic office who are willing to sell of- ficial favor’ If one Democratic of- | ficeholder has beei. involved by the investigators for anything he did while in office let him be named. But if it be true that the moral tone of our people has been so debased as to contemplate graft in high office with resignation, at whose doors shall the blame be laid if not at those of the Republican party, whose spokesmen, appalled at first by the disclosures, rallied to level their guns, not at those guilty of the derelictions mads public, but at those who laid them | bare. Shielded by President. “The President of the United States himself has not hesitated to endeavor to shield the delinquents from the public odium to which their derelic- tions have subjected them by joining in the hue and cry against the in- vestigations that have been conducted under the authority of the Senate and against that body for authorizing | them. His message on the subject had for its plain purpose the suppres- sion of an inquiry into the official conduct of a member of his cabinet. 1t is true he has historic warrant, if precedent be a warrant’for his attitude. ‘When the British House of Commons sought to investigate the profiigate and corrupt Duke of Buckingham, in connection with the ill-fated descent upon Cadiz, Charles wrote that body: 'T see you especial- 1y alm at the Duke of Buckingham. T must let you know that I will not allow any of my servants to be ques- tioned among you, much less such as are of eminent place and near to me.! Charles lost his head and Cal- vin_Coolldge may profit politically by his example! “I repeat I cannot admit the ac- cusation that the people of America are indifferent to the corroding in- fluence of corruption in office, high or low. But we shall see. They are on trial. If notwithstanding what has transpired the party now in power in the nation is continued in control by the choice of the people of the United States, apparent, or real, what judgment must be passed upon them by the world? They en- joy the distinction of having erected and maintained a government whose officers are as froe from suspicion of venality as those of any nation on earth, and they will not, I ven- ture to predict, forfeit it. Revision of Tariff. “In the hour of the triumph of materialism and selfishness, when the policy «i isolation was said to have been ovarwhelmingly indorsed; when, as stated, every sordid interest came clamoting to Washington, the Re- publican party entered upon the task of revising the tariff. No porten- tous voice now dispersed the In- vidious lobby overnight. The sche- dules show its handiwork. Higher than ever before mounted the rates. It T had my way, sald Senator Good- ing of Idaho, ‘I would make the duty s0 high that there would be a com- plote embargo agalnst every manu- factured article that can be produced in_this country.’ “There is an exquisite harmony be- tween the policy of isolation and of a protective tariff as concelved by this statesman. and as exemplified in the act of 1932. Why trouble our- selves about the troubles of Europe? Let her stew in her own juice. Let us not even trade with her.” Of course no such policy was or could be pur- sued. “A decent respect for the unfortu- nate ultimate consumer placed some restraint upon the rapacity of the tavor eeekers. The promptings of a common humanity no less than the distress of agriculture relying upon markets across the sea forced a grudging attention to conditions prevalling and _events transpiring thore.

It has no remedy, it offers no relief from the paralysis that affects agriculture, threatening every form of industry. Moreover, it finds jtself plagued with repre- sentatives in both houses of Congress, representative of current thought among their constituencies, holding views so radically antagonistic to those of the dominant faction in the party as to preclude the possibility of uniting on any program of legis- lation. Its frantic effort to rid it- self of the embarrassment of these insurgent members is as ludicrous as it will prove futile, They can- not be shaken off. They have the indorsement of people. No regular or standpat Republican could make head against any one of them. They Tepresent a revolt in a region over- whelmingly Republican against the policies of the Republican party. ‘With their aid the Democratic mem- bers of the Congress wrote the rev- enue act lately approved in _defi- ance of the recommendation of the President and his Secretary of the Treasury, a chapter in the history of congressional legislation without, it is believed, a parallel. They en- couraged, promoted and actively aid- ed in the investigations of the exec- utive departments in conjunction with the Democratic members and co-operate with them in securing ap- propriate action touching the revela- tions made by the various com- mittees. They revoited against the choice of the majority of their party for the chairmanship of one of the leading committees of the Senate and elevated a Democratic member to that place. The Republican party has ceased to be an organization through which the business of the country can be carried on. Nor is that the end of the antagonisms within the party. At Odds With President. “The President was at odds with the majority wing, with which he is supposed to be sympathetic, on the world court, the pension bill, the ad- justed compensation bill and, to a greater or less extent, on the immi- gration bill. And now to cap the climax unseemingly dissensions rend the party organization charged with the conduct of the campaign about to begin. If these be not the signs of dissolution at least disaster may be read in the formal severance of any allegiance which may subsist on the part of the so-called progressive wing of the party about to duplicate the revolt of 1912 and effect an in- dependent organization. “Upon the record of the Democratic party through eight years of glorious history from 1913 to 1921 we submit that it should again be entrusted with the direction of our national affairs. There is mo blot upon that record. It shines resplendent. No WALSH, like period in our history is more crowded with great events or has presented problems more profound. It is signalized by the enactment of more legislation for the common good | than is recorded in our annals for any other equal number of years. The xigencies arising from the sudden utbreak of the war in 1914 and the collapse of the world's system of ex- change were met in a fashion that defied criticism. Record In War. “When the nation eventually be- ame involved in the sanguinary con- flict its resources in men and ma- terial were marshaled in a way that astonished our allies and brought consternation (o the ranks of our enemies. The financing of the great enterprise reflected the highest credit upon the party that undertook its direction. True, the towering genius, the rival in intellect of Jefferson, who held the helm in that period of stress and storm, is no more. The stricken statesman ' rests secure in the rever- ential regard of his countrymen. But his high ideals, his lofty purposes, his trust in the judgment of the plain people remain our heritage. Though he saw plainly and pointed unerringly to the evils in the body politic, it is in no sense derogatory to his fame that the legislation conceived to meet the situation which gave luster to this administration was the work of other more practiced and perhaps practical, if less brilliant, minds. The mutations in their ranks have in nowise operated to impair their effi- clency as a body or make them less responsive to the heart throbs of the plain people. ~ Witness the revenue law of the last session before re- ferred to. Had it suited the purpose ©of those who sought at such trouble and expense to secure a popular ver- dict in favor of the Mellon plan to invite an expression on it as against the plan embodied in the law, the former would have been condemned as emphatically by the test as it was by both houses of Congress. Two Tax Plans. “The two schemes of tax reduction afford an illuminating answer to the intimation often carried in the in- quiry as to the difference between the Republican and the Democratic party. Each accomplished substan- tially the same reduction. Each re- leased for investment in productive enterprises approximately the same amount of capital. But the plan of the President and his secretary gave the greatest relief relatively to the few overrich, the Democratic plan to the many of small or moderate means. And this in strict accord with the principle of the Income tax that those should pay most who have the most with which to pay. “In the process of the sums as we recede from the war period further reduction in taxation is to be expect- ed. It is an idlo boast that five years after the cessation of hostil- ities a substantial reduction in our annual budget is noticeable. “I know how eager the managers of the campaign for the re-election of President Coolidge are to switch the issues from honest government, the repeal of the new tariff of abom- inations, relief for agriculture and related reforms. to the league of nations. It is not So necessary that we immediately join the league as it is that we abandon foolish an- tagonism to any world movement, however commendable in itself, mere- ly because it is in some way asso- ciated with the league. We may con- fidently rely upon general support of a policy of active participation by our government in any effort that may be made through the league or any other channel to bring about a restoration of normal industrial ac- tivity in Europe and to establish a state of actual peace in every case in which it is reasonably safe to do so without entangling ourselves in the quarrels of its constituent na- tions or involving us In schemes of national aggrandizement or contro- versies distinctly political in char- acter. “The honor of our country, the prosperity of our people demand that we return to the ideals of Woodrow Wilson—that we resume the place he won for us—the moral leadership of the world —_—— PRESS RITCHIE’S CAUSE. Special Dispatch to The Btar. BALTIMORE, June 25.—Leading citisens here today formed an or- ganization to further the candidacy of Gov. Ritchie for the Democratic presidential nomination.. Plans were made to take part actively in the fight for Ritchie when the moment arrives at the convention, and all other organizations and individuals favoring the governor's candidacy were invited to join. Former Chief Judge Henry D. Har- lan was named temporary chairman of the assocliation pending comple- tion of a permanent organization. Frequent meetings are to be held to perfect plans outlined today. It was suggested that a committee or a del- egation of 1,000 members of the as- sociation go to New York to make a demonstration for Ritchie in the con- vention hall at the moment deemed most favorable to him. The member from Texas did not urge his motion with any degree of vigor, and announced that it was submitted only because his delegation was un- der Instructions to do so from the Texas state convention. His delega- tion, he said, would not bring the question to the floor. The committee discussed at some length the subject of bringing in a rule to cover the subject of unit votes among delegations. but finally disposed of it by leaving it altogether out of its report. The past order of procedure was changed to allow for nominating speeches ahead of the platform re- nort, the rules committee foreseeing a long-drawn-out fight in the plat- form committee over a number of the planks. Objects to Change. There was considerable objection to departing from precedent in this regard, especially on the part of Lew Ellingham of Indiana, who was elect- ed chalrman, on the grounds that it constituted a discourtesy to the plah[ form committee. Mr. Ellingham de- clared that nominations might be put first by the convention itself, which could suspend the rules in the event the platform report was delayed, but this view was overruled by those who said they were certain the re- port would come in late, and that the rules committee might as well recog- nize that fact. The procedure decided on for rec- ommendation by the rules committee today is as follows 1—Report of the credentials com- mittee 2—Report of the committee on permanent organization 3—Ratification of members of the new Democratic national com 1ittee, except that all contests shall be left to the new committee itself. 4—Presentation of names of can- didates for President 5—Report of platform committee, and action on report. 6—Presentation of names of can- didates for Vice President, and bal- loting for Vice President. 8—Presentation of miscellaneous motions and resolutions. | Half Hoar for Speeches. At the suggestion of members who expressed the fear that the conven- tion will be a long one the commit- tee recommended that all speeches in general debate be limited to thirty minutes, and that all seconding speeches be limited to five minutes. A proviso was added that this rule might be changed by unanimous con- sent of the convention. A proposal to limit nominating speeches drew little support. Although there was almost an en- tire lack of sentiment for changing the two-thirds rule, there was consid- erable support for making it apply 8o that to nominate a candidate a full two-thirds vote of all accredited delegates would be necessary, but this proposal was dropped when it was argued that no body of delegates, it they left the convention, should be permitted thus to tie up the procedure. It was declared, too, that to require a two-thirds vote of all accredited delogates would be a distinct depart- ure from customary parliamentary procedure, and that such a thing might be held to be fllegal. ‘Although the question of unit rule were presided over by a feminine or- ganization—Mrs. Le Royd Springs of South Carolina, as chairman, and Miss Darden Moose of Arkansas, as secre- tary. Eleven delegates, one less than half of the delegation, were involved in the Minnesota contest in which Mrs. Angie V. Kingsley, chairman of the Hennepin County (Minneapolis) Dem- ocratic central committee, branded the Minnesota state convention, which selected the delegation, as *'boss-con- trolled, boss-ridden and illegal.” She asked that the four delegates at iarge, the delegates from the fourth, fifth and tenth districts, and Ray G. Farrington of the seventh district be unseated. Oregon Dispute Settled. Z. H. Austin, a member of the Dem- ocratic state central comimittee, join- ed in the petition, but was not pres ent in person before the committee. Represcntatives of the certified d cgates responded that the contested country delegations had been passed upon rge majorities in the state convention. L. W. H. Hodges, com- mittec member from Louisiana, sug- gested that “the internal political squabbles of Minnesota” were not within the jurisdiction of the national convention and a motion to dismiss the contest carried almost unanimous- 1y “The Oregon difficulty, viewed by the contestants as ‘nvolving the organi- zation of the delegation and to a large degree the McAdoo fortunes in the Oregon balloting, resulted in the seating of Judge T. C. Burke as al- ternate for Frank S. Myers of Port- land as delegate at large. Miss Claire Pierce, daughter of Gov. Pierce, had been certified by the state central committee as Myers' alter- nate, and the contest was on the question with whom rested the power toyname the alternate. he decision in_ favor of Judge Burke is regarded as having nui- lified the Oregon organization cau- cus today in which John H. Steven- son of Portland was named chairman after four delegates had bolted and the delegation now is faced with the task of organizing anew, with five votes on the side of Stevenson and five on the side of the bolting fac- tion, headed by Charles A. Carter of Freewater and Mrs. Alexander Thompson of Portland. Fight to Be Renewed. Will R. King, national committee- man-elect, argued for the seating of Judge Burke, charging that the move to seat Miss Pierce was a subterfuge to weaken the McAdoo strensth on the delegation. The vote to seat Judge Burke was 20 to 14. The Minnesota contest will be car- ried to the floor of the Democratic national convention today, Mrs. Angie V. Kingsley announced after a con- ferenoe with counsel. was ignored, it appeared certain that it would come up in the convention when voting begins. Some members of the committee were particularly desirous that there be a ruling on whether a majority of a delegation can commit the delegation to a uAit vote if there has been no instruction through primary or convention ac- tion, but it was decided that this should be left to the convention to determine. «From_the AVENUE of -NINTH* Men’s Light-Weight Pajamas sl.ss You need pajamas materials for sultry summer nights as much as you need thinner clothes for daytime wear.
