Two Tklrds Bnle ? Senator Pat Harrison Delivers Keynote Speech New York, June 24. ? Forgetful for the moment of its bitter rivalries over candidates and policies, the Democratic National Convention be gan its sessions In Madison Square Garden today with a militant demon stration of party enthusiasm. Meeting only' to go through the formalities of effecting a prelimi nary organization, "the delegates in dulged in a twenty minute old-time demonstration in honor of Woodrow "Wilson and cheered to the echo a keynote speech In v hich Senator Pat Harrison pleaded for party harmony and a reconsecratlon to the funda mental principles of Democracy. Prepare (or Battle Then, after three hours of oratory and noise making, the convention ad journed until tomorrow, leaving its committees to work out details of its organization while the managers lor the score of candidates for the 1 residency continued their prepa j_..ons for battle. .".it a single voice was raised in i . . or debate at any stage In the. proceedings. Picking their worLs, md making their plans wari ly, party officials steered the conven tion away from the dangerous pas sages that lie in its course and left It to the committees and to later | sessions to develop the full force of the conflicting currents that are moving beneath the surface. Aside from the fight over the nom ination, which appeared to have un dergone no material change during the day, the most difficult of the con vention's problems rests tonight in the hands of the platform committee, which began its labors immediately after its appointment at the opening convention session. Far into the night Its leaders battled over prohibition, farm relief, foreign policies, and the Klan issue, with no agreement In sight. Ends Kules Fight The rules committee speedily put an end to the much discussed move ..to do away with the old rule requiring a two-thirds vote of the convention to nominate. Like many similar abro gation proposals In the past, it col lapsed when It reached the stage of action. Only three votes ? all from States instructed for McAdoo ? voted to throw the long established rule into the discard. ji ?? . - Before the credentials committee the McAdoo forces won a victory by se curing a convention seat for a McAdoo alternate whd will vote In the absence of one of the delegates from Oregon. A contest involving II delegates from Minnesota was thrown out after only brief consideration. A project to follow the precedent set by the Baltimore convention of 1912 and continued at San Francisco four?years ago and listen to nominat ing speeches for President before ac tio!) on the party platform, was ap proved by the rules committee and convention officials Indicated that som of the great flood of nominating ora* tory would be loosede at tomorrows con ventlon session. There will be no bal loting for a nominee, however, until the platform has been completed In committee and approved by the con vention. Walsh Speaks Today In addition to reading the reports of Its rnles and credentials commit tees, the convention tomorrow wlU perfect its permanent organization and listen to the speech of Its per manent chairman, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana. That will clear the calendar of all the preliminaries, and wll leave the way open for the exepcted floor fight over the platforu and finally for balloting for the party nominees. Both William O. McAdoo and A1 Smith, who will lead for the Presi dency on the first roll call, remained away trom today's session of the con vention In conference with their po litical advisers. Both reiterated their confidence of victory, but the threat of a prolonged dead lock -led to a quickening of efforts by the managers for other candidates. America seeds a Paul Revere, "not a sphinx," in the White House to call It back to duty and high resolve, Sena tor Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, de clared today sounding the keynote at the Democratic National Convention. In an address condemning the Re publican administration ? Its polloles, both domestic and foreign ? the tem porary chairman oalled ofi Democrats everywhere, "with victory within their grasp," to nnlte against a, common enemy. s "Oh for one In the White Rohm," he said, " whose heart might be melted and courage aroused to ?yna pathlxe And fight.

Frissell The success of the organized to bacco growers in protecting their con tract in the courts Is setforth In tha latest statement from the legal de partment of the Tobacco Growers Co operative Association which shows that the association has won 82 per cent of the cases that hare gone to the Supreme Court of North Caxollina and more than S3 per cent o fthe cases contested before juries in the Caro linas and Virginia, no cases having yet reached the Supreme Courts of Virginia and South Carolina. The associated growers have taken Judgment in 172 cases and have ro celved permanent injunctions in 126 cases, having settled 131 cases with out trial upon the terms of the asso ciation which include the collection of liquidated damages, attorneys' fees and court costs. In upholding the Iron-clad contract which 95.000 tobacco farmers have signed to insure the orderly market ing of their crop, the tobacco associa tion has met and overcome every con ceivable defence including unconstitu tionality. restraint of trade.' mismanage ment. failure to secure requlstVc sign up. fraud, mistake, denial of signa ture. denial of ownership of tobacco, wife's tobacco, minor son's tobacco, daughters tobacco, judgment, lien and mortgage, and by repeated success in the courts of three states has strength ened Its legal position during two years of operation. "The loyal member is entitled to protection against the contract breaker and it is the present policy and plan of the association to insure such pro tection by litigation wherever neces sary" is the statement made this week by Col. W. T. Joyner, resident attorney of the association at its Raleigh head quarters. Col. Joyner further declared "There never has been and never will be a truce with the man who has join ed the association and continues to [market his tobacco outside of the asso 1 elation." \ ' I MOKE KID ISO ?CXTITATOKS BEING USED Raeligh, June 23. ? "With the rapid I progress being made In every direction. ' in North Carolina, the use ot labor ! and time saving machinery has been I holding a secondary place," says EL | R. Raney, extension farm engineer for the State College of Agriculture. "Man and horse labor constitute from 80 to 90 per cent of the total 'operating expenses in crop cultivation. The other items are fixed expenses ani can hardly be reduced with profit. By using a one-row cultivator the man labor is reduced more than one hi If over the old method. At the same time two horses will cover more ground than the same number when pulling the old cultivators which takes one I side of a row at a time. You pay for the machinery you need whether you ! get it or not in the use of labor sav ing machinery." Mr. Raney reports, however; that on a recent trip to Eastern Carolina it was gratifying to see riding cultiva tors being used in field after field. The old scare about laborers going to sleep on riding cultivators has been en tirely dispelled as could be seen in the presence ot a negro farm hand on a majority of the machines. "To see one of the half-row walking cultivators of yesterday in an adjoin ing field with one weary mule and man plodding along reminded me of the days before labor saving machinery was available on southern farms "say* Mr. Raney." or a mule and buggy on a long Journey over the former North | Carolina roads.
