Mitchell Palmer to win the Democratic nomination for president is laid by many of his sup porters to his activities In prosecut ing the profiteers. They say that he has made en'?nies among "big busi ness" not only it the RepubUcan party but within the Democratic party itself. Criticism of Mr. Palmer is not confined alone to Riepublicans or "big business" but to Democrats and the small fry as Well. Th'e conplaint agairut '\r. -Palmer is bot against his accomplishmnts but his failures. .He has created a great deal of-noise, and stirred u11) mIuch opposition to legiti mate busi's.S but he has not made good in most of his campaigns and has utterly failed -in others, Take the case of the packers, to which .t. Palmer as wvell as The Advertiser seems to be overly interested in. If Mr. Palmer had attempted to prove that the pack ers are getting more Hian their share qi this world's goods lid had sought to make a more equal distribution of these profits, he might rightly have claimed a share of pulplic praise. Your and our' share of the distribution would have been very sinall. bt that is beside th le oint. .\Mr. 1P'a )ler, how ever. sought. to lav at tie packer's doors the clartre ? of rofitoetina an the high cost f I:fing. charges he has not made goowl !in spihe of all the ma chi nery of the govetnmetit which ie had at his back. The most that his investigators have been able to prove is that the packers' proilts now are about $58,000,000 Ja year, a hutge smi to be sure but if divided among the 1141.100,000 people of the country does uot amontit to so mutch after all. A loss of 5o cents a year petr person to the packers certainly has no bearing oni the high cost of living. The ir sistence of Mr. Pa nlmer and his inves tigators in bringing such ttnwarranted chtar-ges against legitimate business lost him the confidence of a large part of the public and took away from him whatever chances he had for the nom ination. llEO('Rit31 rRT S 0.llT WV E'T PLA NK P'ltf11orn Ailopted at Callforit After Fuirious Fitrht Over P'rohibition Is ,,yn, Jillernisco, July 2.-The Demo cratic platform is framed in the reso lIttions committee, declaring for the peace trea-ty, expressing sympatly for Irelatd and sayitig nothling at all about prohibition, came tuscatled throttgh a friotts floor light today antd was aldoited Without atmendttent in a great avalanelfe of applause.
