STORM ON HORIZON
as w-m
CONVENTION OPENS
ST. PAUL, Minn., .Tune 17. —
Charle E. Taylor, of Montana, was
elected permanent chairman of the
Farmer-Labor conven
tion here today, receiving 718 votes.
William Mahoney, of St. Paul, the
temporary chairman, received 115
votes, and A. L-- Putnam, of South
Dakota, 14 votes.
The convention swung into action
this morning with about 400 dele
gates attending and with a factional
light in sight and growing more in
tense hourly.
Efforts to pour oil on the troubled
waters and bring the opposing fac
tions together for a harmonious ses
sion were made during the night and
previous to the convention’s opening,
but both sides acknowledged that
the. storm probably would break
when the work of organizing the
convention is taken up, probably to
morrow.
A whole section was set aside for
Minnesota delegates. A dozen rows
were assigned to Illinois and half
that number each to South Dakota,
Pennsylvania and Indiana. Wiscon
sin was represented by a dozen dele
gates.
New York was given five rows in
which to seat 28 delegates. North
Dakota had three rows, but only
three of the delegates from that
state were in the hall and they were
not certain what had become of the
remainder of their delegation.
Washington found only 12 seats
assigned for the 26 individuals who
came from there. Three delegates
from Oklahoma, one from Texas, fif
teen each from Missouri and Mon
tana, and a score from Michigan
also were in evidence.
Other states assigned places in
cluded Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio, Ala
bama, Louisiana, California, Oregon.
lowa. Massachusetts, Kentucky and
Colorado.
Women in Delegations
A goodly number of women were
scattered through the convention,
several wearing wide purple, white
and yellow sashes, indicating their
membership in the Women’s Equal
Rights association. This organiza
tion sent a lobby to the convention
seeking i-’orsement of their pro
posed amendment to the national
constitution which would do away
with legal distinctions between
sexes.
Men In shirt, sleeves, smoke from
■numerous pines and cigarettes and
repeated match flares as the smok
ers lighted their tobacco were no
ticeable as the temporary chairman
was making his speech.
Preconvention facts showed these,
two elements in a bitter struggle for
control of the body. They split yes
terday on the question of definite
organization of a national party
with a ticket to present to the
voters. The communists favored this
course but the more conservative ad
herents of the movement preferred
that the convention indorse Senator
LaFollette as a presidential possi
bility and attempt a coalition with
the July 4 Cleveland conference.
Minority and majority reports of the
committee of arrangements, embody
ing these divergent ideas, will he
presented to the convention and
fought out on the floor.
The adherents of the Moscow In
ternationale were in the minority of
the committee on arrangements but
were sufficiently strong to block an
attempt to have only the majority
report given to the convention.
Red Strength Feared
William Mahoney, St. Paul labor
leader, acknowledged head of the
faction of the Minnesota Farmer-
Labor party, and temporary chair
man of the convention, openly fear
id that the ultra-Reds had edged
mtn the delegations from various in
dustrial groups in sufficient number
to control a. majority of the delega
tions. Their formal organizations,
the Workers’ party and the Federat
ed Farmer-Labor party, are entitled
to only five votes each out of a to
tal convention voting strength of
977.
The convention call gave definite
voting strength to each delegation,
but did not limit the size of these
groups. Members of some, there
fore, will cast only fractional votes,
but on the smaller delegations each
individual will have the privilege of
plural voting. It was this condition
which caused the conservatives to be
doubtful of the outcome of the strug
gle for control of L.e body as a
whole.
The real test of strength between
the conflicting elements is expected
Wednesday, -when the two organiza
tion reports are presented. The
fight will center on the form of or
ganization and whether a presiden
tial candidate shall be recommended
or definitely nominated.
The conservatives want a loose
state form of organization from
which a permanent national organi
zation may grow. The extremists
demand a centralized national body
that will function immediately.
The communists said they were
not. irrevocably opposed to La Fol
lette as a national candidate provid
ed be would definitely accept a nom
ination art the hands of this conven
tion. Otherwise, they would have
the St. Paul gathering select its own
ticket. Duncan McDonald, candi
date for governor of Illinois on the
farmer-labor ticket, was mentioned
as a possibility under this plan if La
Follette persisted in his refusal to
recognize the present assembly.
A blockade in credentials commit
tee made for a slow assembling of
the convention. At the hour set for
the call to order, only 100 delegtaes
were in their seats, but the lobbies

SIXTY COUNTRIES
SEND DELEGATES
TO RED GONGRESS
MOSCOW, June 17.—(8y Associat
ed Press.) —Sixty countries, including
the United States, Mexico, Canada
and South America, are represented
in the fifth congress of the Third
Internationale, which opens today
in the Grand Opera house here.
This year's convention of the or
ganization founded by Lenine, Zin
ovieff and other Bolsheviks in 1919,
when communism was scarcely more
than an experiment has brought a
thousand representatives from every
habitable part of the globe.
America’s delegation comprises ten
youthful communists.
The congress differs radically from
the great national political conven
tion held in the United States in
that, instead of state delegations,
almost every branch of the human
race is represented. Every variety
of face and costume is seen and a
veritable babel of tongues is heard.
The delegates have come from re
mote parts of the earth not to choose
a president and vice president, but
to devise ways and means of “pro
letarizing and communizing” the
world.
There are no brass bands, no
press gallery, nd delegations to
boost “favorite sons,” no lady visi
tors in the galleries. There are no
microphones to carry the militant
voices of the Red prators into the
homes of the people, for wireless
telephony is an almost unknown art
here, and the average Russian peas
ant has never seen a radio set.
The sessions, which Wednesday
will be transferred to the Kremlin,
are expected to last three weeks.
The position of the communist
party in the United States, Canada
and South America will be discussed
by special commissions and steps
taken to extend the membership of
the Third Internationale In those
countries. The proceedings will be
reported in the government organs.
Rules of Success
For Georgia Farmer
In Just Twelve Words
JACKSON, Ga., June 17.—1 n a
stirring adress to the members of
the Kiwanis Club, J. W. Vaughn, of
Cartersville, successful banker and
merchant, summed up in twelve
words the rule of success for the
farmers of Georgia. These, he said,
are:
Study your job.
Work twelve months.
Feed the soil.
Live at home.
Soil fertility is one of the great
est needs of the country, Mr. Vaughn
pointed out. lie declared that the
present condition did not originate
in 1920, but had its origin forty
years ago. He'blamed the tenant
system, absentee landlords and a
deplted soil, brought’about by a one
crop system, for many of the •trou
bles of the farmer and business man
of today.
“The cheapest thing in the coun
try today is human life. The high
est thing is sweat. It is impossible
to legislate sweat out of labor,” Mr.
Vaughn declared. He said the curse
of the country is politics.
were jammed with delegates trying
.to convince doorkeepers that they
were entitled to admission. Only
those who had received official
’ badges were successful.
There was a. scattering of specta
j tors in the big galleries, peering

around the square of railing.

BREACH MAGNIFIED.
SLEMP DECLARES
CINCINNATI, 0., June 17. —
Published reports of any disagree
ment between him and William M.
Butler, Republican national com
mittee chairman, were overdrawn,
said C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
President Coolidge, on his arrival
here today from Washingotn.
“The published reports of any dis
agreement between me and Mr. But
ler were considerably overdrawn,”
said Mr. Slemp. "The statement that
I had gone to the president and
threatened to resign was also much
stronger than the facts in the case.
I wer:t to the Cleveland convention
merely to observe how things were
going on and to pick up what facts
I could that I believed should be re
ported to the president. 1 noticed
that there was some dissatisfaction
on the part of some of the Repub
lican leaders that they were not
> being consulted by Mr. Butler in
i the running of convention and it ap
' peared to me, as well as to them,
that he ought not to assume an in
dividualistic policy in directing af
fairs, especially in the management
:of the coming presidential cam
, paign.
“I believed that he ought to be
surrounded by a group of advisers
representative of the leaders of the
party from the various sections of
the country and I so reported to tha
president. However, the president
himself already had decided that
such a course should be pursued.”
Mr. Slemp came here to see his
cousin, P. W. Slemp, an appendi
citis patient in a local hospital.

ACETATE SUPPORT
FOB STATE SCHOOLS
URGED BV WEB
.
ATHENS, June 17.—(Ry the As
sociated Press.) —With a plea to “let
the dead past bury its dead; fight
free from the slough of despond of
the past four years; join hands as
patriots of peace in a fight for the
final realization of the vision of
the fathers through a program of
better schools, better colleges, better
highways, better health, better
homes and better churches,” Gover
nor Clifford Walker, in an address
before the Phi Beta Kappa fraterni
ty of the University of Georgia, last
night sounded the keynote of his
address, “The Building of a Greater
Georgia.”
“I am not here to sound a pessimis
tic note,” the governor declared, "I
have no dark, no dismal, no depres
sive or destructive sentiments to ex
press. I see the dawn of hope in
the future.
“I come to ask this practical
question: Have we, in fact, builded
here a nation which measures up to
the standards fixed by our fathers?
Have we here a state which real
izes even approximately the visions
of our fathers?
Items of Progress
“Today our schools and colleges
are crowded. In 1906, there were
sent out from toe accredited high
schools in Georgia only ninety-three
graduates; in 1923 there were 8,000.
Only five years ago the attendance
in one of our leading colleges num
bered only 260; today it numbers
1,013. . . . Our highways are won
derfully improved. A modern state
health department has been devel
oped. Our people are placing em
phasis upon things that really count.
“While all this is true, justifying
pride in the accomplishment of those
who have gone before us, we must
not be blind to the fact that the in
spiring and uplifting agencies of the
state are seriously in need; that some
of them are all but gasping for the
very breath of life . . . and that
before we ever approximate the
vision of our fathers we must double
and then quadruple the facilities and
equipment of the state institutions
to which we look for the training of
the thousands of youths who follow
after us.
“We have not measured up to the
vision of out 4 earthly fathers,” Gover
nor Walker declared.
Bondage of Ignorance
“Again to the practical question:
How can we hope to realize the
ideals, how measure up to the vision
of our earthly fathers, our Heavenly
Father, of modern America? By the
education of our people. Drive out
ignorance, superstition and preju
dice. Train the people to think
straight, and all our problems, civic
and political, will be solved, and
more—they will not rest until neigh
bors treat their neighbors justly—
until all peoples and all nations share
in common the blessings of freedom.
“We have yet failed to measure
up to our obligations until we give
a real chance to every boy and girl
in Georgia. However free from des
potism and tyranny in government,
we are still only half free if we re
main in the bondage of ignorance.
Co-operation Needed
There has been too much division
within the borders of Georgia, Gov
ernor Walker declared. “Factional
ism has saddled heavy penalties on
our beloved state of late. For twen
ty years a destructive and not a
constructive spirit has held sway in
Georgia. As a result, Georgia bad
and not. Georgia good has been adver
tised to the world. There has not
been cooperation and co-ordination
in building a state.
“For the final practical thought, I
suggest that the time has come
when Georgia must turn from the
business gloom and commercial de
spair of the past four years. . . .
W$ have tarried in the wilderness
long enough. ... I congratulate
myself, as I congratulate Georgia,
that I can look for leadership in
thought and sentiment and action to
you intrepid sons of those glorious
fathers, blood of their blood, bone of
their bone, as I point to the dawn of
a new and brighter day in Georgia
and bid you turn your eyes to the
east!
Call to Ser,/ice
"I come with my final word," the
governor declared in conclusion, “to
ask you, blessed of men, leaders of
public sentiment, the hope of Geor
gia—what are you going to do with
your lives? . . . Will you sell
your soul by shriveling yourself into
the sordid shell of selfishness, hoard
ing your wealth to become a curse
to you, and worse than a curs© to
your children after you are gone?
Or will you, with your feet planted
on the solid rock of faith, with your
hand openly and boldly and without
apology placed in the hand of the
Master, with your life consecrated to
the glory of God, to the service of
your fellow man and to the building
of a greater Georgia, build of your
life a tribute of love, an honor to
your beloved Alma Mater, to your
.state and to your native land?"

FRIENDS OF M’ADOO PLAN
TO PUBLISH DAILY PAPER
AT NEW YORK CONVENTION
“Progressive Democrat” Will Be Devoted to News of Great
Meeting and Distributed to All Delegates—To
Contain Official Statements
The Atlanta Journal Bureau,
Vanderbilt Hotel.
RY RALPH SMITH
NEW YORK, June 17.—The Pro
gressive Democrat —that's the name
of a daily paper that will be issued
during the Democratic national con
vention in the interest of William
G. McAdoo’s candidacy. It will be
edited by the publicity bureau of
the McAdoo campaign committee,
and will be the chief medium through
which the public, and especially con
vention delegates, will be informed
of developments in the contest for
the presidential nomination.
The issuance of the daily paper
will mark an innovation in the field
of political activity, and it is be
lieved that the Progressive Democrat
will furnish a service that will be
distinctly useful to convention dele
gates and visitors, without regard
to their political predilections. It
will publish, in abbreviated form,
all the news of the convention, and
its motto will be “Accuracy, Fair
ness and Truth.”
TE’e Progressive Democrat will
make its initial appearance next
Monday morning, the day before the
convention meets, and thereafter un
til the presidential ticket has been
nominated it will be issued at 10
o'clock every morning.
A Big Feature
The big feature of the Progressive
Democrat, of course, will be the of
ficial statements of William G. Mc-
Adoo and his campaign manager,
David Ladd Rockwell, but space will
be devoted to a fair and accurate
presentation of the progress of all
candidacies before the convention.
In addition, it will publish such side
lights on the convention as may be
interesting to the delegates and visi
tors.
A standing feature of the publica
tion will be a roster of the delegates
and alternates, together with the
personnel of the standing commit
tees, the temporary and permanent
officers, members of the national
committee, and the hotels in which
the various delegations are located.
It is the plan of the McAdoo com
mittee to publish 5,000 copies daily,
and to see that every delegate re
ceives a copy just before the con
vention assembles.
Phil Painter, of Birmingham, will
be in charge of the paper. He is
widely known in Alabama,Tennessee.
Georgia and Mississippi, as editor
and publisher of the Advance, and
is one of McAdoo’s warm personal
and political friends. He has con
tributed generously in time and en
ergy to the McAdoo campaign in
the south, and is now in New York
as a volunteer in the McAdoo head
quarters in the Vanderbilt hotel.
The Confusion at Baltimore
The conception of a daily newspa--
per during the convention in the in
terest of McAdoo’s candidacy dates
back to Baltimore in 1912. At that
memorable convention, delegates,
alternates and the general public
were in a state of confusion and
uncertainty much of the time, be
cause they were deluded and de
ceived by the plethora of unfounded
rumors that were circulated with
the design of weakening and dis
heartening the Wilson delegates.
And at Baltimore, Wilson was not
wholly without newspaper represen
tation. The Baltimore Sun was out
spoken in its advocacy of him, and
it is unquestionably true that the
Sun did much to counteract un
founded rumors and stiffen the back
bone of the Wilson contingent in the
convention.
In New York, McAdoo is wholly
without newspaper support. Many
of the leading newspapers are un
friendly and unfair, and, while none
would engage in wilful deception,
none is likely to give his canddacy
much encouragement. The anti-
McAdoo coalition counts largely on
the friendliness of the New York
newspapers in deadlocking the con
vention and preventing McAdoo’s
nomination.
But the McAdoo managers are not
going to be caught unawares. They
are going to profit by their knowl
edge of conditions at Baltimore.
They intend that the delegates,
friendly as well as unfriendly, shall
be given the facts in the presiden
tial contest as they develop, and
they are going to publish the Pro
gressive Democrat.
New York Still Excited
Orville Poland’s attack on Gov
ernor Smith’s candidacy and his ex
pose of the alleged methods and mo
tives of those behind him continue
to be subjects of lively comment in
New York. The Anti-Saloon league
leader only smiles at the denuncia
tory exclamations his letter to con
vention delegates has provoked.
The anti-saloon league is the pet
aversion of the press and public in
New York, anyhow, and Poland’s
sensational charges have only inten
sified their hatred of the organiza
tion.
But there are those in New York,
and among the number are many
delegates to the convention, who be
lieve there is more truth than poetry
in Poland’s letter to the delegates.
The campaign against McAdoo is
a “good fellowship” campaign. There :
is no denying that. The vanguard i
of delegates is being treated with ]
the utmost hospitality, regardless
of their presidential preference. :
Cordiality is the watchword. Every ■
courtesy and consideration is being ■
shown them, and no harsh or unknid j
word is being said concerning Me- |
\doo or any of the other presiden-I
tial aspirants. New York is getting
;cquainted with the delegates.
But, and'this is said advisedly,
he local entertainment committees
are pro-Smith, very much so, and |
in their preliminary meetings much |
thought has been given to the best
means of making votes for Smith
among the delegates upon their ar
rival in New York. ‘ ;
I know personally of the daughter j
of a former senator of a southern I
state, who is now resident in New
York. She is a member of a wom
an’s committee on entertainment.
The other night she attended a meet
ins’ of this committee, expecting to I
offer suggestion as to how the worn- I
en in the delegation should he en- j
:ertained, but instead of a commit I
conference, she found an Al I
rally.

EDITORIAL COMS
OF GEORGIA DAILIES
JNOORSEMB.NJRBIS
Many newspapers throughout
'Georgia have given strong editorial
indorsement to the candidacy of
United States Senator William J.
Harris, who recently announced for
re-election, subject to the Democrat
ic primary this fall. The senator has
qualified with the state executive
committee, but has not announced
whether he will conduct an active
speaking campaign throughout the
state.
Among the papers recently in
dorsing his candidacy and urging
that he be returned to the senate
for another term, is the Athens Ban
ner-Herald, which says, in part:
“Georgia has had in the past a
number of able representatives in
the United States senate who have
reflected credit upon their state and
made for themselves records which
are living today on the pages of the
history of this state. None, however,
rendered more conscientious service
or accomplished more for- the inter
est of the state than has William J.
Harris, the senior senator from Geor
gia.
“The people of Georgia will act
wisely in returning him to the senate
without opposition; he has earned
their support; he has made a faith
ful servant; he is entilted to the
support of the people on his un
blemished record as a man and as
a representative in the highest coun
cils of the nation —the United States
senate.”
Augusta Herald for Him
The Augusta Herald, commenting
on Senator Harris’ candidacy, says:
“The unusual record made by the
senior senator from Georgia, William
J. Harris, has, in the opinion of the
Herald, precluded any opposition to
him. Although some talk of opposi
tion has been going around, it is
not believed that it will materialize.
“His service and ability has not
only been recognized by the Demo
cratic administration, but even under
a Republican administration he has
been given some of the most impor
tant committee assignments. If he is
returned to the senate he will be
given a number of other important
committees carrying with them the
chairmanship.”
The LaGrange Reporter says:
“Senator William J. Harris —still
‘.Bill Harris’ among Georgians—has
not climbed upon the capitol dome
in Washington to broadcast his
achievements during his years in the
United States senate. He has applied
himself diligently, without ceasing,
to the task of finding ways to serve
his people; and he has served them.
“If we had ,to describe Senator
Harris’ attitude in congress we would
merely say that he is not the enemy
of any class, but he is the farmers’
friend. His record of service to the
farmer, as well as in the fair and
just in'erest of every other class of
American people, suggests a de
scription of that kind.”
Macon Telegraph In List
Pointing out that Senator Harris
has been diligent and useful in the
five years of his service in the sen
ate, the Macon Daily Telegraph says:
“Senator Harris has completed the
first five years of his term in the
senate. He is a. member of the ap
propriations! and immigration com
mittees. He has proven a diligent
and useful senator to the state. Pos
sibly no other senator in the history
of the state has maintained closer
personal relations with the people
of Georgia than Senator Harris. He
has no machine; he is not the agent
of any faction or group—he is a
hard-working ambassador for his
state in the halls of the United
States senate.
“If the Democrats win the senate
next November, which seems as
sured, Senator Harris will become
chairman of the senate appropria
tions committee, as Senator Over
man, of North Carolina, who is the
; only member senior to Senator Har
| ris, will take the chairmanship of
! the judiciary committee. Senator
I George would move up on his as
signments and gain the chairman
-1 ship of one of the important com
' mittees.”

TRIAL OF PHILIPS >
IS SHORTENED BY
LEGAL AGREEMENT
WASHINGTON, June 17.—The
prosecution at the trial of the alleg
ed lumber fraud conspiracy case to
day shortened the length of the trial
by se.veral days and avoided the in
troduction of more than 35 witnesses,
by agreement with counsel for the
defense in connection with a num-
L of checks and drafts passing be
tween John L. Philips, of Georgia,
and Frank T. Sullivan, lumber mer
chant, of Buffalo, N. Y. Both men
are on trial. The total of payments
from Sullivan to Philips under the
agreement is given is $237,438.78.
Under the stipulation, counsel for
the defense admitted that the gov
ernment can introduce witnesses,
competent to testify, who would
show that Sullivan's bank account
was changed with the checks and
drafts in question, and that the
checks and drafts were received by
Philips, who acted as selling agent
for the government’s surplus lum
ber.
In addition it was covered by
the stipulation the government of
fered testimony showing a transfer
of $49,000 from Sullivan’s account at
the state bank of Kenmore, near
Buffalo, to Philips’ account with a
private banking firm in New York.
The prosecution claims that the
total of these two amounts, $286,-
438.78, was a "secret” payment by
Sullivan to Philips.
The stipulation is expected to
Ing the case of the prosecution to
a close tomorrow. The defense will
ask for an instructed verdict and
an extended argument on the mo
tion is expected.
