New York, Jane 82.—Assailing the metropolitan press, which he declared was “clumsy attempts to be cloud the iseee," WilHam G. McAdoo tonight, at a rally of delegates sop- porting him, asserted that “when ever special privilege is threatened by a popular outburst of public indig nation, it sets up a straw man issue to divert the people's attention from the real profctems of the dfcy.* “That deceit,” he added, “is being attempted nowr”- „ r T ^ a- Mr. McAdoo prefaced his prepared address with a statement that he felt compelled to read from manuscript “because of the hostility of the New York newspapers.” Declaring he had interposed no ob jections to the selection of Near York as the convention city, Mr. McAdoo said he had been assured that both delegates and candidates would be treated with hospitality and fairness. “From some of the things which have been printed here about tlie for ward looking men and women who make up the progressive Democracy America,” he declared, “It would ap pear that some editors have the idea that the people who come from the south and west and from smaller cities than New York are easily fool ed. They are wholly wrong. We may look less sophisticated than New Yorkers because we live far away and in smaller places, but we haven’t lost the faculty of thinking for ourselves, and knowing when we see it, the gen uine from the false. I am confident that their attempts to becloud the issue and reflect upon the intelli gence of the great mass of delegates is quite futile.” Mr. McAdoo summed up the “real issues” of the 1924 campaign, which were in part: “To rid the federal government of special privilege, corruption and .graft and to prosecute all persons whether civilian or official, guilty of conspir acy to defraud or cheat the govern ment. "“To remove the influence of invis ible government from the treasury and the federal reserve system. “To repeal the Fordney-MeCumber tariff bill which taxes the common people for the benefit of special in terests and to substitute a tariff which will help to reduce the cost of living and do justice to all inter- FRANK M’DOWELL IS FOUND GUILTY YMtk fete Mercy. Te Motion For New Trial. Clearwater, Fla., June 20.—Motion for a new trial for Frank McDowell, convicted here today in Circuit Court of the murder of his mother, Mrs. J. M. McDowell, at St. Petersburg, last February, will be made tomor row before Judge M. A. McMullen, it pas announced by J. L. Kelly, chief counsel for the defense, after the jury had returned a verdict of guilty of first degree murder with a recom mendation for mercy, tau vmdietiWSS-JM the case had been in the hands of 1 the jurors two hours and twelve min utes. McDowell received the verdict calmly although he showed nervous ness as,the jury filed back into the court room. A smile played over his face as Deputy Cleric of Court Payne received the sheet of paper from the hands of the foreman of the jury, and read with emotion: “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree and desire to recommend him to the mercy of the court, so say we all.” The verdict carried with it a life sentence in the state prison. McDowell’s first comment on the turn of the case was, “I don't care now what they do with me.” After he had been carried back to his eell, however, he stated Gilt he wanted a new trial, and wanted it had. He declared there had been a lot of mis representations by the state. He ex pressed the belief that the “only thing that saved me this time was the fact that I went on the stand.” After completion of arguments ofj counsel the fate of the youthful slay er of his family was placed in the hands of the jury at noon, imme diately after which the selected men went to lunch. Returning at 1 o’clock they were given final instructions by the court. are here in full strength and already have appeared before the woman’s Ad visory committee, of which Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, is chairman. That committee makes recommendations in writing on the women’s rights and other planks in which women’s organisations are in terested. The question of where to park hus bands of women delegates while their wives are discharging their conven tion activities, once acute, having been settled by furnishing the hus bands stage tickets, most of the fam ily problems in the women’s sections are out of the picture. There was much concern, however, when it was found that the women delegates and alternates had been invited to a din ner tomorrow night, but that no offi cial entertainment had been provided for their husbands. When this news reached the husbands little agitation was shown, so it now appears that the husbands will have tomorrow off. Three delegations boas£ husband and wife as members. They are: Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Springs of South Carolina, Mr. and Mrs. John McFad- sean of Colorado, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Dooley of Puerto Rico. The only states which did not send women delegates are Louisiana and Florida. If You Don’t Bead . TUB CHRONICLE You Don’t Get The N*ws.

New York, June 22—Backed by 416 women delegates and alternates, or almost one-fourth of the convention membership, Democratic women lead- era today inaugurated a determined fight to gain two major committee chairmanships.

Mr. M. B. Crisp, Walter F. Lynch, llgr. Up i i.J less airplanes have proved iuc- in their first tryout at Me- Field, Dayton, Ohio. Equipped the new silencers the machfex than three per cent of their the chairmanships being done in a professional way. First, the women decided it would be poor policy, because of their inexperi ence in things political, to attempt to gain either the rules or resolu tions chairmanships, so they passed them. Not, however, without sending word to men leaders that they would not ask for the places and explaining why. Then, under the leadership of Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, of Joplin, Mo., vice-chairman of the national committee, they began canvassing delegations for pledges to elect mem bers of the two committees whose chairmen they hope to name. If the women have thelff/way, they also will have a woman majority on each com mittee. Women leaders base their claim for recognition on the fact that they have almost 40 -per cent more representa tion in this convention than they ever had before. In 1920, there were 298 women in the convention. There were 16 in 1916 and only two from Wash ing and Colorado, suffrage states, in 1912. Sixteen women made speeches fn the 1920 convention. The number who will speak this year Will be much larger, it is said. Other than the fight for chairman ships there promises to be np out standing feature of the women’s ac tivities.
