SOCIALISTS ADOPT RATFORM TODAY 9 ijiomas Assails New Deal Jand G. 0. P. in Accept ing Nomination. Br the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, May 26.--Delegates to the Socialist National Convention, vreary from three days of intra-party controversy, assembled today to adopt the party's 1936 platform--admon ished by Norman Thomas, presidential nominee, "to win men and women to *r new hope and a new way of life." In his formal speech of acceptance, Thomas declared the Roosevelt ad ministration has failed and predict ed the Republican party would have "SOothing positive to offer." »*It is a great thing we dare to do," Thomas told the convention banquet last night. "We oppose the massed resources of Republican captains of industry, the political power and the public purse in possession of the Dem ocrats, facing them with the might ol a gTeat faith, of a logical analysis ol the diseases of our time and a sure philosophy for building the co-opera tive commonwealth in which is oui hone." Claiming "the New Deal has not worked/* Thomas said "there is not a single economist or social analyst of repute who dares to affirm that there are now in operation political and economic forces to make new wai unlikely or the danger of fresh eco nomic catastrophe remote." Citing the phrase, "Roosevelt oi reaction," the standard bearer of th< dominant Leftist Socialist party asked "What does that phrase mean t< the exploited peons of the cottoi fields or to the slaves of Florida'; flogging belt, whose first rays of hop; have come not from the rising of an; Democratic sun?" $The Republicans," he continued "will curse Roosevelt and the Ner Deal with all the stupidity of Frenc) Bourbons who by some concession might have prolonged their ignobl dynasty before the fall of the Bastile But they will have nothing positive t offer. They cannot agree on any thing." Of George Nelson, Wisconsin farmer the Socialists' nominee for the vie presidency, Thomas said: •*His name on the ticket is a guar antee that Socialism is not the hop metely of workers in the cities, bu also of those who toil in that moe elemental of all human occupations the raising of the food by which w live." Thomas, the party nominee In 192 and 1932, was selected by an over whelming voice vote. Against hi choice, there was low cry of "no" fror sortie members of right-wing delega tiofis--evidencing the bitter week en dispute over the New York contro veiay, which ended in the seating c the Leftist Thomas delegation ant the- organization of a new party by th Ne»' York "Old Guard" after its dele gabion was turned down by the con vention. Demonstrations, begun with th nomination, reached an uproariou climax when Thomas was escorte; into the convention hall by Mayo Daniel Webster Hoan. The hall was a mass of red flag as delegates paraded about the aisles with the standards of their States. Thomas led the delegates in the sing ing of the "Internationale." READING, Pa., May 26 UP).--James H. Maurer, twice Socialist candidate for Vice President, said last night he would not bolt the party "at this time," to head the group of Social Democrats to be organized by Louis Waldman of New York. Maurer said: "My sympathies are with the old guard, and I want it understood I am a rightist, but I will be guided entirely by the reports of the Reading delegation when It re turns."
