SAN FRANCISCO, July with
fourteen candidates IN nomination,
and almost an equal number of re-
Iceptive dark horses In waltlhg,
There is no one here who can tell
when the Democratic National Con-
vention will select its candidate for
the presidency, or which one of its dis
tinguished sons will be given that
high honor.
1t is the field against McAdoo evil
IDENTIFY, with odds in favor of the
field. Many well-posted delegates
predict that another day will pass
without a single ballot being taken
for the presidential nomination. We
are told that cambridge Colby and
William J. Bryan will stage a tight
before the convention over the wet or
Try plank on the platform.
Mr.. Bryan will oppose a wet
blanks adoption. If the platform is
90 dry or dry enough to please Bry-
an. then Colby will oppose it,
The reports of the convention pub
llisbed in the San Francisco newspa-
Iuers have been so unfrlendly. SO
lbiased in many cases, so paipaoly
untrue, that the delegates and others
,ere have lacked entirely the usual
means of knowing what was going on.
rwo of the big newspapers, the morn
Ing Chronicle and Evening Bulletin
l. are staunch supporters of the hepup-
ican party.
The Morning Examiner and Even
ng Call, both owned by William Kan
iolph Hearst, have been claiming 10
Ibe Democratic in their policies, but
have lost no opportunity to bellttle
tine convention, to denounce and dis
credit the President and his follow
| ers. and to create doubts and discus
sion among the delegates.

sissippi, in an eloquent speech, sec-
ionded the nomination OF Governor
Cox today, he roundly denounced the
newspapers of San francesca for their
treatment of the Democratic conven-
zion.

1.-The entire audience to ats feet WIN
laundering applause, that continued
for several minutes. The Senators
,peech was one of the best delivered
aurine a day given entirely to
peeches.
| ,the democratic women have every
eason to be proud Of the showing
hey have made here. For time to-
iay, a woman presided over the con-
yention. AS delegates and as mem
lbers of all the important commit
Itees, women had unusual opportunl-
lties to show their ability as practl-
Ical politicians; and constructive
statesmen and the splendid showing
Ithey have made has pleased and as
ltonished the old-timers of the oppo-
site sex. In almost every important
hearing before the resolutions, Gre
l1entials, or other committees, the
eading parts have been given to wo-
men or have been taken by them and
lways the women have made good
Through the courtesy of William

handsomely entertained in other
vays. D. D. MOORE.
