declared it was an honor to address

“Now that the enemies of democra-
cy have been defeated within the party,
it will be easy to defeat those on the
outside,” he declared.
He outlined his reasons for maintain-
ing martial law at Galveston and was
cheered. Galveston delegates had
brought a resolution against martial law
to be included in the platform. It has
not been presented and so far as could
be learned, the resolutions committee
would shy at reporting such a plank.
The report of the platform commit-
tee is expected thia afternoon. As
drawn so far, the platform supports
both the Wilson and Hobby administra-
tions; endorses the constituional amend-
ment pending to raise the school tax

the passage of a corrupt practice act,
modeled after the Wisconsin law, and
punishment qf all candidates who circu-
late false statements.
The tentative draft also recommends
the redistricting of the state into sena-

districts to conform to the 1920 census,
and that employees insurance be placed
in the hands of the state.

north of Florence, which was severely
shaken Ly • an earthquake yesterday
morning. As reports from the stricken
area come in over faltering telegraph
and telephone lines the extent of the
disaster seems to be growing and there
is a possibility that the damage done
was much more seriotis than at first be-
lieved.
There is evidence that the shock was
a severe one and rejiorts from cities in
the earthquake zone state that build-
ings crumbled under the strain of the
convulsions of the earth.

voicing a plea for cultivation of the
spirit of tolerance and lofty persistence.
He recalled that the federal constitu-
tion supported by Washington and Mad-
ison, was as bitterly fought as the
covenant of the League of Nations,
sponsored by Woodrow Wilson, and that
even Franklin had opposed it in great
fear of consequences on state rights,
but that Franklin yielded his personal
views in order that the “new scheme
that has become our great bulwark
might have a chance.”
“Oh that we had had a Franklin in
place of the black spiders in the sen-
ate” He arraigned Senators Knox and
Exxige severely for their part in oppo-
sition to ratification of ths peace treaty
of Versailles and the covenant of na- .
