XLV.—NO. 311. 30,000 PARALE OMAHA STREETS T0 HONOR FLAG River of Flowing Flags Between Banks of Human Heads is Sight Long to Be Re- ) membered. MULTITUDE VIEWS THE SIGHT Twenty Bands Play Patriotic Music All Along the Line While Thousands Sing. SUSPEND BUSINESS OF CITY ( The greatest parade, in point of numbers, that Omaha ever saw was the Ilag day parade yesterday after- noon, Nearly 30,000 men and women were in Jine. Thirty thousand school children were grouped on the court house lawn, the postoffice steps and other places, singing songs and waving flags. A numberless crowd thronged the streets all along the twenty-six blocks that constituted ihe line of march. The windows of the buildings had their crowds and men peered down over the edges of the roofs. And such a parade! River of Flowing Flags. Viewed over the crowd it seemed to be a river of flags flowing between banks of human heads. Here and there came big flags borne by men, silken, gold fringed banners, topped by golden battle-eagles. Other big flags were borne in horizontal posi- tion by fair young women. But chiefly they were smaller, of size convenient for the hand. These constituted the great river of flags. Often a ripple would occur in the & river, as when one of the school chil- dren armies would burst into patri- otic song. Cheers were continuous. The music of twenty bands, sound- ing the well known patriotic tunes, made gay the marching army as it swung along the streets. The weather was perfect. Bright sunshine with a cool breeze from the west, just strong enough for comfort and to give a brave ripple to a million flags. Just in the middle of the pa- / rade a big, black, threatening cloud came up in the west. But when it saw that a patriotic parade was ig progress it quickly made off again to the south, refusing to attempt to spoil such a fair spectacle. Business Is Suspended. Practically all business in the city was suspended and employer and em- ploye, and employee (feminine gen- der), marched side by side in true democratic - style. Mayor Dahlman and the city fathers headed the pa- rade. Presidents of the big mercan- tile and jobbing enterprises of the city trudged along on foot beside their clerks, department heads and stenographers. Professional men were there. A company of trained nurses in their white caps and uni- forms were among the thousands of fair marchers. Various lodges, the railroads, the stock yards, clubs, schools and so on were in line. Oh, nearly everybody was either in line or looking on. The précision with which the mam- moth procession moved evidenced or- zanizing genius. Scheduled to start ‘rom Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets at p. m., it started right at that time. It kept moving, too. Sixteen Abreast. Sixteen abreast, the men and wom- 2n marched, with close ranks and at 1 brisk step. The marchers passed at the rate of about 380 a minute. The parade took an hour to pass. The route was from Twenty-fourth and Farnam to Sixteenth, to Capitol avenue, to Fifteenth, to Douglas, to Thirteenth, to Farnam, to Fifteenth, to Harney, to Sixteenth, to Leaven- worth, erybody in the parade walked, excepting only the Grand Army of the Republic contingent. These gray- haired veterans of the flag in the Civil war rode in automobiles with their wives. Their spirits, indeed, were willing to walk, but their “flesh” 1 is weak. But they waved their flags 4 as vigorously as anybody from their A flag-decked vehicles. The one thing in the way of a “fea- ture” in the parade was a group of threce men dressed to represent the famous “Spirit of '76” painting, sorely (Continued on Page 1 | y 2 £ Column 1.-)— The Weather Temperatures at Omaha Yesterday. 3 I e £5) Comparative Local Record.

Multitude Waves Old Glory in Its Applause. PRESIDENT'S PICTURE LACKING | BY E. C. SNYDER. St. Louis, Mo., June 14.-—(Special Telegram.)-—The keynote speech of 1916, so far as democracy is con- cerned, has been delivered. Former Governor Martin Glynn of New York is some keynoter, you can take it from me. There was one thing about the speech that impressed me pro- foundly and that was that at least | President Wilson would be nomin- ated. That one thing stood out pre- dominantly and commanded the en- tire situation. Of course, there were other features in Governor Glynn's address, particu- larly with reference to the glory that was big enough to go around. In fact, there was glory enough to go around several times, to go around the nation, or the world, for that matter. Campaigners in the country districts will be able to carve out whole sections of the keynote and spread several layers of it over the surrounding country and then go back again and find an inexhaustible sup- ply of good carboniferous fuel left. Measured in Long Tons. If the coal supply of this continent was as deep and broad and wide and long as Governor Glynn's keynote, the geologists would hasten to cast their estimates that the Pennsylvania coal fields are good for a million cars a year. No one imagined that Mr. Glynn, who is slightly built, could sound a keynote that would last most of the afternoon. The keynote showed that this campaign is going to be fought out with an inexhaustible supply of words; and that after the keynote, when the diapason of the full-toned political organs of the country begin to rumble, the dome of reason will begin to totter. on't forget, however, that there will be forty-eight speeches to sccond the nomination of President Wilson. Flags in Evidence. Of course the convention’s opening was a great joyfest for democracy, and .whooping big time for the demo- crats who have come here undivided for their president and glad to' be given a chance to let loose. The city of St. Louis, or the con- vention managers, or some one saw to it that the American flag should be in evidence. Boy Scouts with great sheaves of flags went through the convention, early, giving a flag to ev- ery man and woman there, so that when a cheer started, there would be a sea of waving flags, and it was a most beautiful sight indeed owr our flag’s natal day. There were flags in the galleries and ‘bunting hung from every niche and corner and projec- tion, and the inevitable convention band, seated in a sort of bird cage high up at one end, played merrily on all kinds of wind instruments capable of producing martial airs. No Portrait of Wilson. There is but one thing missing in convention hall, and that oddly enough is a picture of the president. | Nowhere is there a portrait of democ- racy’s leader. There are several fine plaster medallions of Grover Cleve- land, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, but none of Woodrow Wilson. A round of the various headquarters fails to disclose a single Wilson portrait, with one notable exception, and that is, strangely enough, the Tammany headquarters. This is quite possibly due to the fact that in many instances portraits, dodgers, buttons and badges are brought to the convention by the manufacturers of the commoditics. At this convention, there being no contest for anything except the vice presidency, there is no great neces- sity for buttons, badges and pictures of the leader. In the national committee head- quarters there is a large box full of Wilson buttons with the slogan, “America First.” A man on the out- side of the hotel is selling buttons marked “Safety First.” Take your choice. O’Keefe True to Traditions. While the clans were assembling in the hall, and a mighty fine hall it is, too, a fine old Irish gentleman, whose name is Patrick O'Keefe, and whose long residence in the state of brought with him from the Emerald Isle, amused the crowd with an clabo- rate Irish reel. As the band played, Mr. O’Keefe, who admits to at least |05, astonished everyone by leaping {over a four-foot barrier and dancing |like a 16-year-old. He spun around | on one foot and then jumped up and cracked his heels together and shout- ed. He did this three separate times. His enthusiasm could not be con- |tained. He endeavored to keep it within himse!’, but while Bishop James W. Lee of the Mcthodist Epis- copal church, South, was reciting the words of an opening prayer, the spirit within Patrick O'Keefe burst forth, and he yelled at the top of his lungs: “Go to it, old boy, you said something then!” Had it not heen in the midst of a prayer it is likely that the Coliseum would have exploded with laughter, for everyone was in an explosive mood, Bishop of Cork is Dead. Cork, Ireland, June 14.—The most Rev. Thomas 'Cnllai an, Roman Catholic bishop of Cork, died this morning. He was born in Cork in 1839 and educated at Minerva college, Rome, and was appointed bishop of Cork in 1886. ! | flag THE OMAHA DAILY BEE OMAHA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1916—FOURTEEN PAGES. PRESIDENT FLAYS HYPHENATES WHO ARE FIGHTING HIM Wilson Charges Foreign-Born Citi- zens of United States Are Try- ing to Levy Political Blackmail, |'DISLOYALTY MUST BE CRUSHED) Chief’s Flag Day Speech Keynote of Issue He Washington, that foreign-born s of the United States are trying to levy po- litical blackmail and to undermine the influence of the national government was made by President Wilson in a speech today. His assertion sounded the keynote of one of the foremost issues on which he will go before the country for re-clection, and touchgd upon a platform declara- tion which will be submitted by the administration to the St. Louis con- vention. The president spoke before a crowd of thousand gathered at the foot of the Washington monument, ~fter he had reviewed for five hours a great preparedness parade, at the head of which he himself had marched down Pennsylvania avenue. He de- clared that not since the civil war had it been tested as it now is being tested whether the Stars and Stripes stood for any one united purposc. Disloyalty Active. “There is disloyalty active in the United States, and it must be abso- lutely crushed,” declared the presi- dent, speaking emphatically. “It pro- ceeds from a minority, a very small minority, but a very active and subtle minority. “It works under ground, but it also shows its ugly head where we can see it; and there are those at this moment who are trying to levy a species of political blackmail, saying, ‘Do what we wish in the interest of foreign sentiment or we will wreak our vengeance at the polls” That is the sort of thing agamnst which the American nation will turn with a mighty triumph of sentiment which will teach these gentlemen once for all that loyalty to this flag is the first test of tolerance in the United States.” Outlines Predominant Issue. The president’s words were taken as an-open challehge to foreign-born Americans, who, he had learned from foreign-language newspapers and other sources, are opposing him for re-election. Officials close to him said he was outlining his stand on what he had determined to make a predominant issue in his campaign. While the democratic convention was being opened at St. Louis Mr. Wilson devoted the entire day to the flag day and preparedness demonstra- tion. Carrying a large American flag he walked from the capitol to the White House at the head of more than 50,000 marchers, including many high government officials, employes of all the government departments and of the capital’s business houses, companies of cadets, national guards- men, union and confederate veterans and members of commercial and so- cial organizations. Goes to Reviewing Stand. The parade started from the capi- tol grounds, and as its head passed the White House the president dropped out and took his place in the reviewnig stand. He was joined there by Secretarics McAdoo, Red- field, Lane and Wilson, Postmaster General Burleson and Attorney Gen- eral Gregory, who had marched at the head of employes of their depart- ments, and by Secretary Lansing. As soon as the last marchers passed the stand, five hours later, the president went to the monument grounds, where his address formed the principal part of an hour's patriotic audience. Almost every man and woman in the president's audience carried an American flag. Before he began speaking cannon fired a national salute of twenty-one guns and the| marine band played “The Star Spangled Banner” while a huge flag was drawn slowly to the top of the white monument, 555 feet above the ground. Lansing Presides. ccretary Lansing presided, and in infioducing- the president emphasized the duty of present-day Amreicans | to preserve unsullied ideals handed | down by the founders of the re- public. Speaking of disloyalty in United States, the president said: “It proceeds from a minority, a very small minority, but an active and subtle minority, working under ground, but also showing its ugly the head where it may be seen, and it ig| this minority that at this very moment is striving to levy a kind of political blackmail or wreak its vengeance at the polls. That is the sort of thing against which the American people will turn. That is the lesson which I come to remind you of today.” \Flag Day Exercises At Betsy_@ss House Philadelphia, June 14.—Speaking at the Flag day exercises at the Betsy Ross house here today, Dr. C. J. Hexamer, president of the National German-American alliance, declared that true Americanism knows no dis- tinction of race or creed and does not take sides with any foreign nation. “True Americanism,” le said, “de- mands a true neutrality, solely for the defense of American rights and in the best interest of the United States against any aggression from whichever side it may come. It fol- lows faithfully and loyally where our flag leads.” lened to do a better job later on. AT THE HEAD OF THE WOMEN’S SECTION—Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, Mrs. Warren Rogers and Mrs. Z. T.

Reply to Carranza Will Rebuke Him Por@e of Note Washington, June 14.—The United States answer to the last note from General Carranza probably will not be made until after the St. Louis con- vention ends this week, it was said in administration circles today. The de- lay was considered advisable ¢ elim- inat- chance that any action toward Mexico at this time might be inter- preted as prompted by political in- fluences. That course has been laid out par- ticularly in view of Carranza’s strong intimations that the the United States’ dealings with Mexico have been determined by questions of in- ternal politics in this country. The answer which Secretary Lans- ing is preparing will rebuke General Carranza sharply for that insinuation, | it is said. X ministration officials are still visibly worried over the possibility of serious anti-American outbreaks in Mexico, but they are determined to take the initiative in any aggressive action. Newly Elected | Officers of Rotary | Club Installed The newly elected officers of the | Omaha Rotary club were installed at | the weekly meeting and luncheon this | noon at the Henshaw rathskellar, The | new officers are: Dr. E.

CHAIRMAN M'COMBS CALLS FOR ORDER Head of Democratic National Com- mittee Says Convention Meets in Atmdsphere of Victory. TAKES SHOT AT ROOSEVELT St. Louis, Mo., June 14.—In calling the democratic national convention to order at noon today Chairman Wil- liam F. McCombs of the demogratic national committee, spoke as follows: “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Con- vention: “We are in an atmosphere of vic- tory. 'We have not a feeling of guess, but a spirit of certainty. We meet to celebrate the marvelous achievements of the democratic party since it came into power and to place a milestone upon the path of its future success. “Over 2,000 years ago, an old slave related the fable of the frog who wanted to grow to the size of an ele- phant. Such was the ambition of his soul that his body was swelled to a marvelous proportion. Indeed, Aesop went so far as to predict that the frog, upon reaching the size of the ele- phant, would burst. I commend to your notice the wisdom of Aesop. It took over 2,000 years for his prophecy to come true. , Only last week the frog-clephant—or the elephant-frog— exploded. Republicans Deceive Themselves. “The republican party for years succeeded in deceiving the country. Now it is successfully dec ng it seif. In its platform it offers pul- chritudinous promise—but with vacu- ous intent. It promises the country in the main, what the democratic party has already done or is in the Ernccss of doing, saving always, the ogus god—protection, 3 . "It has cloaked its iniquity with a judicial robe, but the ctoven hoof of special interests still protrudes. The board of directors hay sat in Chicago and again is resolved that they are the country. They have adopted the doctrine of foreordination and pre- destination, but have made it applica- ble only to themselves. “The rest of the people are their wards—for profit. “Ambition is a noble attribute, btu when it is adulterated with greed, a cataclysm is inevitable. ~ We have recently witnessed the painful specta- cle of two great American parties of ideals; seli-glorificatton m place of national honor; republicanism and progressiveism, so-called, in place of our only ‘ism’—Americanism. “Wt have witnessed the drab spec- tacle of two groups of men, trading principles like competitors in a fish market, in the hope that some com- promise would win public support. They have not come together—they have fallen out over the ‘swag.’ For the sake of victory, many of these men, essentially opposite in principle, | have been willing to hecome friends with false masks. The result is in- evitable, ‘divided they fall’ We are proud in the thoughe that ‘united we stand’ We welcome Americanism of the progressives, in- our them a haven, in a principle.

Martin H. Glynn, former gover- nor of New York, opened the demo- cratic national convention here today. Declaring that “Americanism and peace, preparedness and prosperity, cratic party stands, and the heart of democracy swells with pride that is more than a pride of party, as it hails the man who has asserted this Amer- icanism, assured this peace, advocated this preparedness and produced this prosperity,” he predicted the re-elee- tion of President Wilson, Taking up our foreign relations, that has been called into emphatic promi- nence by the world-wide war, the speaker declared that “We have en- tered this hall as democrats; we shall deliberate as Americans.” * * The policy of neutrality, he argued, is as truly American as the American flag. For 200 years neutrality was a theory; America made it a fact. “In his policy of peaceful negotia- tions today the president of the Uni- ted States follows the example set him by the greatest presidents which e O 8 S s e g Tl il (Continued on Page 4, Column 1.)

GLYNN PRAISES THE PRESIDENT Coliscum, St. Louis ,Mo., June 14.—® With the keynote of “Americanism and peace, preparedness and prosper- ity,” the democratic national conven- tion began its first session shortly after noon today with not a single clement in sight to disturb the har- monious renomination of President’ Wilson and Vice President Marshall, When National Chairmarr Mc- Combs called the convention to order 12,000 delegates, alternates and spec- tators packed the big coliseum to the roof. Members of the national commit- tee, members of President Wilson's cabinet and party leaders from all over the country had places on the platform. Plaster medallions of Washington, Jackson, Jefferson and Cleveland looked down upon the dele- gates from the decorations, which consisted uniformly of nothing but the American flag. The only pic- ture of President Wilson in the hall hung in front of the speakers’ desk inscribed “American First." Vice presidential baoms wilted by President Wilson's direct word that he desired the renomination of Vice President Marshall, were brought to the .onvention hall, but only as fa- vorite son compliments, Kremer Reads the Call. When National Chairman Mc- Combs had called the convention to order the next business was the read- ing of the call by Secretary J. Bruce Kremer. Former Governor Glynn of New York was next with the keynote speech, Down under the speaker’s stand di- * rect telephone and telegraph wires to the White House carried momentary reports of the proceedings in the hall.

Reviewing President Wilson's con- duct of foreign affairs, he declared the president had stood with Wash- ington, Adams and Grant, who had preserved peace with honor. “For vain glory or for selfish pur- pose,” Mr. Glynn declared, “others may cry for a policy of blood and iron, but the president has acted on the belief that the leader of a nation who plunges his people into an un- necessary war, lifle Pontius Pilate, vainly washes his hands of innocent blood, while the earthquakes and the heavens are darkened and thousands give up the ghost. S1f e\lzshington was right, if Jef« ferson was right, if Hamilton was right, then the president is right to- day,” he declared. Delegates Arrive Late.
