KEYNOTE LAUDS
WILSON REGIME
League Called ‘Monroe
Doctrine of World’ By
Cummings
(Continued From Page 1.)
exists or is ever apt to exist.
“What nations stand outside?
Revolutionary Mexico, Bolshevist
Russia, unspeakable Turkey and
the United States.
“It is not yet too late. Let us
stand with the forces of civilization.
The choice is plain. It is between
the Democratic party’s support of
the league of nations, with its pro
gram of peace, disarmament and
world fraternity, and the Republican
party’s platform of repudiation, pro
vincialism, militarism and world
chaos.”
It is not reservations that the presi
dent stands against, said Mr. Cum
mings, but nullification. He told
how President Wilson had published
the tentative text of the league cov
enant widely in 1919, asking for crit
icism and receiving suggestions from
Taft, Hughes and others that were
“actually incorporated into the re
vised draft of the League.”
Lodge Intolerant
Senator Lodge, he said, refused to !
offer constructive amendments at
any time. “So intolerant was his at
titude that he would not even con
sider a compromise proposed by For
mer President Taft of his own party
and which was assured of support of '
40 Democratic senators. Senator
Lodge knew that he controlled the
senate and that in his own time and
way he would destroy the treaty.”
“This is the sordid story of it's de
feat,” said Gummings, after review
ing the senate’s action in the mat
ter. “No blacker crime against civil
ization has ever soiled the pages of
our history. The last chapter was
written at Chicago.
“Let the true purpose of our party
be clearly understood,” he said in con
cluding his address. “We stand
squarely for the same ideals of peace
as those for which the war was
fought. We support without flinch
ing the only feasible plan for peace
and justice. We will not submit to the
repudiation of the peace treaty or
to any process by which it is whit
tled down to the vanishing point. We
decline to compromise our principles
or pawn our immortal souls for self
ish purnoses. We do not turn our
backs upon the history of the last
three years. We seek no avenue of
retreat. We insist that the forward
course is the ony righteous course.
“We seek to re-establish the fruits
•of victory to reinstate the good faith
of our country and to restore it to
its rightful place among the nations
of the earth. Our cause constitutes
a summons to duty. The heart of Am
erica stirs again. The ancient faith
revives. The immortal part of man
speaks for us. The services of the
past, the sacrifices of war, the hope
of the future, constitute a spiritual
force gathering about our banners.
We shall release again the checked
forces of civilization and America
shall take up once more the leader
ship of the world.”

Time Limit Nearly up for
Ex-Soldiers’ Insurance
Ex-service men have only until
July 1, three days hence, to reinstate
their war risk insurance, and their at
tention was being called to this fact
today by members of the local post
of the American Legion who have
been taking a particular interest in
this matter. It is said ‘here has been
wide indifference on the part of the
former soldiers to the mailer of re
instating their insurance, which may
be done without examination and up
on the payment of only two monthly
premiums. The insurance is co Avert
able and may be converted at once or
at any time within five years, it is
stated. ,
All interested are asked to commu
nicate at once with Gordon Howell,
local commander of the legion post, or
Jack Holst or Miss Ruth Clark, Red
Cross home service secretary, from
whom blank- and information may be
obtained.
C. S. Blake, J. A. Beall, T. M. Car

three of them ayway.” Rajendra
looked helplessly at the hurrying,
self-absorbed crowd, two or three cu
rious ones, their eyes caught by the
turban, paused an instant. Rajendra
shrank at the smiling question, but
answered courteously. |
He was a sikah from the Punjab in
America; eight years he lived in For-!
tola and was a workingman; he was
interested in political economy, and
had come to San Francisco in the
hope of seeing how a national con
vention was conducted.
He thought, with great embarrass-1
ment, that “maybe it’s all right” for
women to take part in politics. He I
had no favorite condidate for presi
dent. eH thought maybe prohibition
was a good thing. Personally he
Rajendra Singh, was dry, but he
would not presume to dictate to
others. “I’l tell you what to do,”
suggested somebody with a wink,
“you go and see Bryan; maybe he
can fix you up.”
So Rajendra departed to camp
hopefully before the door of the great
Commoner, probably much to the
latter’s surprise, if he saw him. And
there were thousands here who had
no more chance than Rajendra of see
ing the convention.
One Dead, Wounded in
Laurens County Feud
DUBLIN, June 28—H. L. Jenkins,
merchant and former mayor was kill
ed and fou’- other men were wounded
two probably fatally in pistol fight
between rival factions Saturday night
at Cadwell in Laurens county.
The wounded are Hiram Mullis,
mayor, postmaster and merchant, who
is expected to die; C. C. Cadwell,
farmer, dangerously wounded; John
Quilling, arm broken by a bullet, and
John Bedino'field, suffering from a
scalp wound from a bullet.
The trouble between the factions
is said to have grown out of an old
feud over the location of the depot,
which was heightened by charges af
ter the burning of negro houses and
a negro church last year and more
I recently through a police raid on Cad
i well's place for whiskey.

Burle>on’> Wet Plans.
Postmaster General Burleson gave
out a wet plank, as follows:
"The open saloon has been general
ly condemned by the American peo
ple as a menace to society and the
well being of the people and its
restoration should not be tolerated.
The validity of the Eighteenth
amendment to the constitution hav
ing been sustained by the Supreme
court, any law enacted under its au
thority must be strictly enforced.
However, the democratic party pled
ges its utmost endeavors to prevent
this new grant of federal power from
being exercised in such manner as
to become oppressive or deprive the
people of that individual liberty
which it was the purpose of the union!
of the states to guarantee and pre-!
serve through all time. The Vol-j
stead act, vetoed by a democratic |
president and passed over his veto!
by a republican congress, is an ex
treme exercise of the powers grant
ed by the Eighteenth amendmend
and it should be so amended in strict
conformity with the spirit and pur
pose of the constitution so as to
eliminate therefrom its drastic and
unreasonable features. We favor an
amendment to the federal constitu
tion requiring all amendments here
after nroposed thereto, to be ratified
or rejected by a referendum of the
qualified voters of the several states
of the union.”
