New .York, May 19.—The “funda mental problem now facing us is the restoration of high purpose in Amer ica,” said William Gibbs McAdoo, for mer secretary of the treasury, at- a meeting today of the independent Democratic national convention en- tertainment committee. Tt was his first address here since entering the campaign for the Deniocrateic presi dential nomination. “For the last three years, we have had a complete degradation of ideal ism in America,” he said. “That 'Idealism that marked tile lead ership of Woodrow Wilson, all the ideals, he represented were jeered at during the last election, an exalta tion of materialism.

Well, the essence of the difference is this: The Republican party stands for ’special privileges for some, equal op portunities for none,’ while the Demo cratic party upholds the principle of ’equal opportunities for all, special privileges for none’.” McAdoo’s speech was preceded by an introductory address by Hotner S. Cummings of Connecticut, who said that all “the forces of progressive Democracy” were gathering about the former secretary of the treasury. Mr. McAdoo told newspaper meh after his speech that he would out line his attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan and his views on the advisabil ity of nominating a presidential can- didate bp* Majority n>te in the Demo- wntion in later speeches or statementa.
