SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S. - To-
night shows the first signs of move
ment among the Democratic conven-
ton leaders and managers to round up
sentiment among the uninstructcd
delegations and compute the possibili-
ties of nominating somebody.
Principally, the night is given over
to meetings of the four big committees
in the great building which also houses
the convention auditorium. The lead
ers and candidate managers are all
under one roof and, although they are
engaged in committee business, they
are not losing the opportunity to con-
fer and possibly get together on the
making of a slate Of their own or pos
sibly decide to accept one which the
drift among the delegations may be
forcing on them
About the only point upon which the
Cox, Palmer and McAdoo forces would
agree was that ,here would be nc

of them seemed TO agree that there
would be no nomination in fewer thar

A letter written by William G.. Nc

against the reestablishmenr Of reaction
in America" was made public here.
The letter, under date of June II, was
in reply to communication from Johr

cinity, which informed Mr.. McAdoo thai
more than 5000 wage earncrs repre-

could possibly name
After thanking Mr.. Munholland fo1
this unsolicited and unexpected in
dorsement," the letter continues:
eve are facing problems in this
country and in the world which re-
quire not only the highest order Of
craftsmanship, but the most patriotic

"Men and women are thinking thcs'

them vigorously and sincerely, whic
will command the respect and secur

Of Connecticut. chairman, and imme-
diatelv took up the question Of whcthe er
the convention should proceed to the

New-York tribune., 1920-06-29

Even though William G. McAdoo may
decline the Democratic nomination. his
private secretary, Miss Ethel Van
Speenbergh-a vivacious, brighteyed
girl, hardly in her twenties-will be a
candidate for the job of private sec
retary to the next President, provided
the next President is Democrat.
Miss Van Speenbergh wears tortoise
trimmed spectacles, and in explaining
the spelling of her name announces
that she is "Holland Dutch" Her job
recently has been not SO much writing
letters for her employer as keeping
strangers from obtruding them selves
into his private Office.
When reporter for The Tribune
called at Mr.. McAdoo's Office, Room
1455. 120 Broadway, yesterday after
noon, Miss Van Speenbergh catapulted
herself right up TO the mahogany rail
ing. Then adjusting her spectacles
she looked the reporter squarely in the
face
"Mr. McAdoo is in. but he is not

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-State
commissions similar to the Federal
trade commission to prevent prof.
teering are a feature of a plank on
profiteering proposed by William j..
Bryan. II is as follows:
The Democratic party pledges the
nation to rid it of the profteer and to
close the door against his return. II
will endeavor to eliminate all unneces-
saly middlemen by the encouragement
of organizations among producers that
will bring those VINO sell and those
who use nearer together. 1t will enact
and enforce laws that will effectively
prevent excessive charges by such
midldemen as are necessary. To this
end it will demand legislation subject
ing to the penalties of the criminal
law all corpVation officers and en-
p,oyees who give or carry out instruc-
tons that result in eXtortion; 1t Will
make it unlawful for any one engaged
in interstate commerce to make the
sale of one article dependent upon the
purchase of another article and it will
require such corporations to disclose
to customers the difference between
cost price and selling price, or limit
the profit that can be legally charged
as the rate of interest IS now limited
It will also endeavor to create in the
several states trade comm ssions witt
powers as ample as those of the Fed
eral trade commission, and to enac
laws authorizing each local community
to create. as needed, similar commits
sions for the investigation of loca
charges Of profiteering"
The clause to punish profiteering b.
corporation officers, Mr.. Bryan said, is
designed to meet court decisions pre-
venting prison sentences being imposed
on corporation officers.
