POLISH WELCOME TO LEGIONERS DELAYED | Defenders of France to Be Feted in i October Instead of July 4th.

July 4th is distinctively an Ameri- can holiday and with American prin- | ciples and ideals enshrouding its very thought, it was the decision of the | Polish committee that no interference | should take place in as much a a, celebration of the day would be plan- ined by Americans of the city. The change in plans for the wel- come home celebration was made | some time ago when the city started | preparations for a celebration.

Polish ‘ people expect the assistance of local World War veterans in planning the welcome home. Many of the Polish Legion members are still in Europe ,and the change of the date of the celebration will afford an opportunity to welcome a greater portion of these fighters back. Many of them are now planning to return - to the United States and some members of the | legion expect they will all be home by ‘ September. WAS WHISKEY “RUNNER” l"“l(-n\l Officers Declare Joseph B.

The attack on the separate plank devoted to republicans “republican corruption,” reached its - cli in “shocking disclosures of the lavish use of money” by ¥ i for the republican presidential nomination and the co a republican senator from Michigan of violating the expenditure laws. The platform is silent on the question of the Us accepting a mandate for Armenia as urged by Wilson, but expresses sympathy with Armenia. A plank on Mexico says American lives and pj been not so safe in Mexico for years as they are ng San Francisco, July is the text of the platform submitted to the democratic convention today: “The democratic party, in its na- tional convention now assembled sends greetings to the president of the United States, ’&)odrow Wilson aad hails with patriotic pride the great achievements for country and the world wrought by a democratic ad- ministration under his leadership. “It salutes the mighty people of this great republic emerging with imper- ishable honor from the severe tests and grievous strains of the most tragic war in history, having earned the plaudits and the gratitude of all free nations. “It declares its adherence to the fundamental progqressive principles of social, economic and industrial justice and advance, and purposes 1o resume the great work of translating these principles into effective laws, begun and carried far by the demo- cratjc administration and interrupted only when the war claimed all the na- tional energies for the single task of liberty. League of Nations. “The democratic party favors the League of Nations as the surest, if not the only, practicable means of maintaining the permanent peace of the world and terminating the insuf- ferable burden of great military and haya] establishments. It was for this that America broke away from tradi- tional isolation and spent her blood and treasure to crush a colossal scheme of conquest. @& was upon this basis that the president of the United States, in pre-arrangement with our allies, consented to a suspension of hostilities against the imperial Ger- man government: the armistice was granted and a treaty of peace nego- tiated upon the definite assurance to Germany, as well as» to the powers pitted against Germany that ‘a gen- eral association of nations must be formed, under specific covenants, for the purpose of affording mutual guar- antees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.” Hence we not only con- Zratulate the president on the vision manifested and the vigor exhibited in the prosecution of the war: but we felicitate him and his associates on the exceptional achievements at Paris involved in the adoption of a league and treaty so near akin to previously expressed American ideals and so in- timately related to the aspirations of civilized peoples everywhere. “We commend the president for his courage and I izh conception of good faith in s stly standing for the covenant agreed to by all the as- ted and allied nations at war with Germany, and we condemn the republican senate for its refusal to ratify the treaty merely because it states- manship, thus interposing partisan envy and personal hatred in the w: of the peace and renewed prosperity the world.
