MADISON SQUARE GAR
DEN, New York City, June
23 Reaching the height of the
argument over the Ru Klux
Rlan plank, the National Demo
cratic Convention '.at midnight
tonight heard the argurr.e us of
the chosen leaders of both sides,
Bainbridg Colb for the minori
ty report asking specific mention
of the Klan, and William Jen
nings Bryan for the majority
plank, denouncing religious and
political intolerance without
mentioning the Klan. .
"Both those resolutions are
aimed at the Ku Klux," said
Celby, opening his address, "but
one is singularly deft in avoid
ing the name of the' Ku Klux
Klan. One of them said1 noth
ing about the purpose. What
sort of a committee, on resolu
tions is thid un-American, tnis
poisonous, this alien thing in
our midst, abhorrent to - every
American, hostile to the genius
of our institutions, inlhe pre
cepts of Americanism I have
no sympathy with a group of
gentlemen who move- only at
the dead of night in the protec
tion of pillow cases and shrouds.
Those are not the habiliments
of sportsmen or courageous men
and thank God they are not the
uniform of and Americanism of
which I am familiar.
I am opposed to the majority
resolution report. It is an obvi
ous stuttering and stammering
LTun falling thing. . ItTdoesn't
satisty my thought, it doesn't
satisfy, my manhood It is no
credit to the Democratic party.
It is a party that cares for noth
ing if it knows it is right. I ap
prove the minority report be
cause it is simple, lucid and
true and expresses the thought.
The Ku Klux Klan is composed
of either vicious or foolish peo
ple. It is one of those tempo
rary things of history which
manifests itself like a distemper.
There isn't a man here who
would not regard a membership
in the klan as a reflection on his
character. - That's why tney
move at night under cover and
skulk away. They are asham-
ftd I venture to predict tnat in
a short time you will not find a
Ku Klux Klan members; you
will not even find the man wno
remembers he was a member
"It would be a retreat, a De-
traval. a desertion of democracy
to do less than adopt this mi
nority report and put this simple
and unmistakable declaration in
our platform."

Opinions Worth Noting
Hon. Carrol Beedy, member of
Congress, from Maine "said in a
speech on Russia on the floor of
the House: ''Religious worship
is not encouraged in Russia. It
is more accurate te state that it
is tolerated. While In Moscow
I saw, near the gate which leads
into the Red Square, that
notorious sign. . "Keligion is the
people's opium." Prior to my
arrival in Petrograd the figures of
Christ and a capitalist in effigy
were dragged through the streets
However, despite, the fact that
religion is tolerated rather than
encouraged, the Russian people
as a whole are apparently very
reverent. The Russian working
man or peasant rearly passes a
catherdal without doffing bis hat
and crossing himself many times
We attended divine services in
the Russian churches which were
uniformly well filled with worship
pers' and in which elaborate ser
vices were being conducted with
out interference by the govern
ment. The communists party ofJ
Russia, consisting of . 400,000
members, id in absolute control of
the soviet government. To its
membership are admitted only
thoe who, having been put upon
probation, are found to be wholly
trustworthy. But irrespective of
his other qualifications, it is a fact
that no member of a chnrch will
be admitted to membership in
the communistic party. Aye,
more! A man not a church mem
ber will nevertheless be excluded
from the communist party if be
marries a moiun who belongs to
church. And, again, more!
Though neither man nor woman
belong to a church, should their
bhild be christened in, a church
the man is barred from member
ship in the communist party.
And "since, generally speaking,
only communists attain to high
position in the government, ' it is
a fact that the policies of the
soviet government in Russia are
determined by men who are pro
fessed atheists and agnostics.
For this reason, if for no other--
although I am not prone to boast
of my religious scruples, .poses
sing merely as profound a rever
ence for things spiritual and re
ligious as the average man for
this reason I shall never raise my
voice within the walls of this
chamber elsewhere o urge my
people through recognition to
put the stamp of American ap
proval upon this godless govern
ment of Russia." .
