LEAGUE THE BIG THING Prohibition and tho Irish Problem to lie Straddled Aims to Please Labor. uu n oio i orrr jpoiineiu or the Ht.N ami new oaic Heiald. San Francisco, June 29.- -- President Wilson, through his chief lieutenants, Senator Carter Glass of Virginia and Secretary of Stato Balnbrldge Colby, Is in complete control of tho resolu- tions committee of tho Democratic Na- tional Convention. And tho platform which will be adopted wfll be of his dictation. Kvents.of last night and y make this outcome a dead cer- tainty. Never was political steam roller In better worklnc order than the ono that iho Administration Is using at the convention. Not only was Senator Glass forced into the position of chair- man of tho resolutions committee against the protest of leaders who wanted to see the platform made the embodiment of the common counsel of the party but William J. Uryan, chief opponent of the Administration's de- mand for unqualified indorsement of tho Lcaguo of Nations, was not oven mlttco of ulna appointed by Senator Glass to frame the platform. Although Secretary Colby was not elected to- - any office by the committee, he Is 'sitting at tho right hand of Chairman Glass at the platform dur ing tho hearings that are now In progress, and Is giving his approval or disapproval on behalf of the President to every proposal that Is being made. The Wilson dictation Is being carried on In tho open, without the slightest attempt at concealment. Tho Adminis- tration .forces havo manoeuvred them-teli- Into a position where they can laugh at their opponent, and they are golr uliead regardless of consequences. Platform Already Written. The meeting of the subcommittee to draft a tentative set of planks for the approval of the full resolutions com- mittee is a farce. Mr. Glass has the Wilson platform, word for word. In his Inside coat pocket. When the time comes he will present It to thesubcommlttee and then to the full committee, knowing full well that he has enough votes to put It through without the change of a sin-gl- e present word. A correspondent of The Sun and New York Herald, who talked to-d- with Senator Glass and other Wilson adher- ents on the resolutions committee, ob- tained the substance of the Wilson planks which arc to be Incorporated In the platform. These outstanding features of 'he platform wilt bo ns follows; 1 Unqualified Indorsement of the treaty of, Versailles, Including the League of Nations, Just as tho President brought It back fro-- n Europe. No protection will be afforded those Democratic Senators who voted for. mild reservations to the leigue covenant. The Republican ma- jority In the Seriate, will bo bitterly de. nounccd for preventing President Wilson from having his own way with the treaty. 2 Prohibition : A general declaration in favor of law enforcement, without any specific reference to the Volstead enforcement act. This planu will be an avoidance of the wet and dry issue, and will satisfy neither the extreme wets nor the extreme drys. 3a Irish question: A broad Indorsement of the principles of of small nations and peoples without any reference to tho recognition by the United States of the free gov- ernment of Ireland or the Irish republic demanded by New York Stato delega- tion and' pro-Irli- h leaders generally. A Labor: Radical declaration In favor of the unlimited right of labor to strike, and by legal decrees; recognition of the principle of collective bargaining, and virtually all of the other labor planks approved by the American Federation of Labor a few weeks ago In Us platform. g Industrial relations : A separate plank which will declare In favor of volun tary arbitration of disputes between employer and employee will not Indorse the Idea of an Industrial court. Instead a commission of Investigation will be proposed which will depend 'for Its suc- cess upon popular opinion after all ot the facts In each-cas- have been brought to light. Government ownership of rail- roads will not be Indorsed. Profiteering: A general declaration against profiteers and for the of existing laws against the profiteer, with the promise of additional legislation If this should become neces. sary. 7a Education and child labor: Strong plank In favor of new child labor legislation and Federal aid to State educational Institutions along the lines Continued on Second Vast.

The General, giving particulars of his capture, says all three officers tried to escape from their car after a hurried confab In Arabic which the Sinn Felners could not understand, and adds : \I am glad to learn from the newspapers that Col. Danford is not seriously wounded.' Col. Danford was shot at as he escaped, and struck In tho arm. The letter from the British General was delivered by an unknown man to the house ot a retired British army off I cer living' near Fermoy, who for warded it.

It was sought to despatch soldiers thence by a train passing from Kilkenny to Dublin. The engine driver refused to carry them and the soldiers remained on the .train, blocking up the line. Subsequently trains from Athlone and Thurles for Dublin were similarly boarded by soldiers and blocked. The soldiers have orders to board any train available, so the situation cannot be relieved by the despatch of trains from Dublin. While the Government has had offers of assistance of men from Be- lfast to operate the trains.

Mr. Farley declared It was not a question of how many votes the organi- zation would loso In breaking the unit rule, because in any' event all of the ninety delegates, except eight or ten, would vote together, but that the prin- ciple of the unit rule was as old In the Democratic party as that of the two- - tMntu rule for the nominnuuu - Pres.dentlal candidate He stated u.au . . ... -- mIo In New an orUcr to wean me u.m -- York, especially when no such action nnntpmnlated with rcgaru io aw other State, would be a slap In the face of the New York democracy and make.

Under the operation of the unit rule, to which he seeks to subject this delegation, his power Is magnified ninety . times more than that of any other delegate. Yet this gross attempt at usurpation of power Is sought to be defended on the ground that It Is In nccord with Jeffersonlan principles and the precedents and traditions of na- tional conventions for the last fifty years. Nothing comes further from the fact. No Democratic convention ever has recognized the right ot an official con vention or a majority of the delegates elected to limit the freedom of actloh of delegates elocted by tho people pursuant to statute and to require such delegates to repudiate and nullify the will of the constituents electing them.

Rowl of Missouri, chief Democratic opponent of tho- - League of Nations, nnd the Smith-Watsj- :i anti-lcuf.- faction of the Georgia Deruc-rac- y vent up against tiu Wilson steam 'roller again y after hav- ing been thrown off the roll of dele gates of the Democnt'.o National Commltteo, and this time they have been flattened out completely. It was tho Administration controlled commit tee on credentials to whlcn Senatcr Reed and tho anti-Wilso- n faction ot Georgia made their second appeal, out that committee, after heaririga tvhlrh jyere Httlq better than a Joke, voted to unseat them. The credentials committee's report was submitted to tho National Con vention this afternoon and adopted. In the case of 'Senator Reed the vote in tho commltteo during tho early hours this morning was 35 - D against him. The delegates from Georgia representing Senator Hoke Smith and Tom Watson were ordered unseated by a vote of 43 to 4, and by the same motion the twenty-eig- ht Georgia dele- gates who favored the nomination of Attorney-Gener- al Palmer and the Wll-ijo- n League of Nations were ordered to be seated. The arguments of tho Administration forces against Senator Reed and the Smith-Watso- n delegation were a thinly disguised appeal to the committee to throw out of the convention any con- tested delegation which was not favor- able to the Wilson policies. Legal tech- nicalities were discussed at some length, but everybody recognized that blind to tho League of Nations was the test that was being applied In both Instances. Arthur Lucas and several of tho other ousted Georgia delegates declared the action of tho credentials committee was n severe blow to tho Democratic party in Georgia, in view ot the fact that tho Smith-Watso- n delegation had polled two-thir- of .the popular vote. I have no doubt that the high handed methods that have been employed to throw us out of this convention and thwart the will of the majority of the uemocrats or Georgia will have a ten dency to drive many good Democrats in our State Into the Republican party una year,\ said Mr. Lucas. Senator Reed has decided not to carry nis ngnt any rurther in the convent on, He realizes, like the Georgia men, that the Administration's big stick Is .too powerfully wielded at this time to be withstood, and he will abide by the re- sults for the present. His spokesmen Derore tne credentials committee. In the eariy nours of the morning, asserted with great emphasis that the unseating or need mignt mean the loss of Mis sourl to tho Democratic party this year. because the Fifth Congressional district, which unanimously sent him to the con vention, was by far the strongest Demo- cratic district In the State and was ab- solutely necessary to the Democratic victory.

June 29. in confirm- ing the persistent rumors that McAdoo's name would go before the convention, Samuel L. Amldon, Kansas National Committeeman and floor leader for the McAdoo forces, declared the former Secretary's friends had decided to yield to the \thousands upon thousands of letters, telegrams and personal calls\ urging the nomination. There was no way to avoid votes being cast for Me- - Adoo, he said, and therefore It was de cided \that the strength might as well bo bunched.\ Confirmation of tho report of tho dp. clslon to nominate McAdoo came Just ahead of'the opening of the second day's session of the convention. McAdoo workers Immediately began \passing the word along\ to mos iney Knew were In accord with the plan. The effect of the announcement, however, has not yet had time to develop, but It was apparent that every effort was to be bent In tho direction of advising Individual dele- gates ot the programme and ascertain- ing the ttresrth of the vote.
