Jim Reed Kicked Out

San Francisco, June 29.-Adminis-
tration supporters strengthened their
hold on the democratic national con-
vention through a series of victories
in the credentials committee which de-
cided three hotly fought contests.
One of these was the denial Of a
seat in the convention to Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri. The Clark
Howell delegates in Georgia pledged
to Attorney General Palmer were
seated. Both actions were in accord
with previous decisions of the national
committee.
The credentials committee, however,
overruled the national committee in
the organization case where it seated
r. r. Turner and John l.. Schuyle-
ner. who was selected by the Oregon
state committee to fill a vacancy
caused by the death of George T.
Baldwin was forced TO yield half or
his vote to Schuyleman, described as
a strong Administration supporter.
Schuyleman claimed the seat on the
ground that he was the next highest
man in the primary. having been
fifth in the race for the four places.
Kansas City Alone Interested
All three contests were long drawn
out and were marked by acrimonious
statements and bitter personal at
tacks. Chairman Jameson of Iowa
maintained order with difficulty.
But the Administration group reigned
when the voting came on each of the
contests.
There was no indication from tho
Reed forces as to their next move. The
senator was not at the hearing, Fran
els NJ. Wilson, counsel, said the sena-
tors wishes would be consulted be-
fore further action was considered
He reminded the committee the fight
was being made entirely by the dele
cation from the Kansas City district
and that the senator never has and
does not make demand for the seat"

The Fights Now Imminent

San Francisco, June 2s.-The fight
over prohibition, the league of nations.
the Irish question and other subjects
which have troubled democratic dele
gates in pre-convention conferences,
was centered tonight in the commit.
tee room on platform and resolutions.
AS the committee sessions begin
some of the most experienced in the
ways OF platform building, predicted
1t might be three days before the
finished product would be ready for
submission to the convention and that
even then there probably would pe
minority reports bringing the pro-
hibition issue, at least, into 4 fight
on the convention floor.
Cosmopolitan Personnel
All elements were represented in
committee. which had one member
from each stage. There were ultra-wets
and ultra-drys, league advocates and
league opponents and representatives
OF nearly every other shade of opn.
ion on many other public questions.
William Jennings Bryan was there
to lead the fight for a bone dry
plank and James r. Nugent of New
Jersey was the field marshal OF the
vets. In the treaty fight, tho Ad.
ministrauon representatives included
Senator Glass of Virginia and Secre-
tardy Colby Of the state department.

Besides these thAre were many
Other distinguished democrats on the
committees roster, including Vice
President Marshall, and former Ma
tional Chairman Vance Mccormick.
One complete platform. many partial
platforms and enough loose planks
to last the party for many years to
come were on file as suggestions when
the committee met.
The platform submitted in its en-.
tirety was the one adopted by the
Virginia democrats, endorsed by Pres.
ident Wilson and brought to San
Francisco by Senator Glass The
other suggestions came from many
sources within and without the party
May Be Experience Meeting"
There was so much material de-
manding use. in some form that the
platform fashioners soon abandoned
hope of following the advice of Vice
President Marshall and writing the
platform on a postal card. 1t was
regarded as likely that before finai
decisions were reached on any issue
the committee would give interested
individuals and organizations an OPP
portunity to present their cases in
public hearings.

Nominated by Oklahoma Woman

Senator Robinson was placed in
nomination by Mrs. W. A. McDougal
of Oklahoma, and his nomination was
seconded by all the states and then
made unanimous. The committee de-
cided to recommend the addition of an
associate secretary OF the convention

Britton of North Carolina, private
secretary to Secretary Daniels. was
chosen for that office.

Bryan Acknowledges "Squashing"

Meantime. as observers study the
makeup of the subcommittee, it be-
came more apparent that the real con-
test over the platform would come
after the subcommittee report had
hcen laid before the full committee
for review.
William ]. Bryan, omitted by the
Administration leaders from member
ship on the subcommittee, said he
probably would not present his planks
on prohibition, the league of nations
and other subjects for committee con-
sideration ut all.

against over confidence by Mrs. Abby

party.
Although elated over the action OF
Tennessee's governor in calling a spe"
cial session of the legislature for Aug

that the fight for ratification of the wo-

be counted won until the final vote
is taken. Women workers arranged

Slate Makers Busy
San Francisco, June 2S-The lead
ers and candidate managers are all
under the same roof and although they
are engaged in committee business
they are not losing the opportunity
to confer and possibly get together
on the makings of slate of their
own, or, possibly, decide to accept
the one which draft among the delega-
tons. which may be forced on them.
McAdOo Wisely Silent
McAdoo boomers hoped all day that
their candidate would make some
statements, amplifying the declaration
of National Committeeman Love Of
Texas, that the nomination would not
be rejected. Some were disappointed
and others thought Mr.. McAdoo, in
view of repeated previous declara-
tons Of declination, was pursuing q
wise course in remaining silent.
| Palmer people continued their eff
forts to make strong showing on the
opening ballots, and the Cox people
were doing the same. About the only
point the three forces would agree
upon was that there would be no
nomination on the first ballot and most
Of them seemed to agree that there
would be no nomination in less than
three to five.
The "Bitter Enders"
The McAdoo people today agreed
upon Sam B. Amidon Of Wichita, as
their floor leader. and at the same
time began picking out a representa-
tive on each of the state delegations

Neither Wet Nor Dry
The talk on candidates tonight IS
almos. where It was last week, with
out any appearance of strength enough
for nomination at any corner OF
the triangle. Mr.. Bryan, and some
others, still feel that the question
of candidates cannot become a thor
oughly active one until the platform
issues have been disposed Of.
Administration supporters said to-
night they were confident that the
platform would be written in thorough
going terms of support for President
Wilson and his administration and
many Of them predicted that 1t would
contain neither wet nor dry plank.

that no minority report on the treaty
plank could carry.
Word OF Cheer for Ireland
Other planks may cause some dis
cord, but there was word of cheer
for Irish sympathizers in Mr.. Cum
mings' speech. The only issue he
did not deal with directly in his key
note address, was that over a party
statement on prohibition enforcement
In that issue may be wrapped up
the fate of some aspirants for the
presidential nomination. The battle
has come to the surface in a caucus
Of the New York delegation, which
voted without roll call to urge modi,
fication Of the enforcement law.
Charges of Gag Rule BY Vets
The session left behind it echoes
OF gag rule" charges and assertions
that If a floor battle were insisted
upon, by the New Workers, the party's
chances at the polls would be ruined.
Events so far have showed no mark
ed action overnight on discussion of
nomination booms. There seemed to
be general feeling that prospect
Of Mr. McAdoo's selection had in
creased, but there was no definite
development upon which it could be
based by those who took this view.
President Has No Choice
With a member Of the presidents
cabinet in the race. in the person Of
Attorney General Palmer, and a former
cabinet member. Mr.. McAdoo being
urged just as vigorously, no candi-
date has yet been formally charac-
terized as the choice Of the president.
Administration forces, machine line
in their unanimity Of action on other
matters, are at odds on candidates,
each group supporting its own man.
the reflex on their joint victories is
therefore not easy to trace in the
nomination fight

NOTORIOUS GERMAN PRoPA-
GANDlsT AGAIN ACTIVE.

"Viereck's, The American Month
~" is the name of a publication ed
tide by George Sylvester Viereck, of
New York, who became notorious
during the world war as the publisher
Of 'The Fatherland," a paper that was
devoted to the most vicious pro-Ger-
man propaganda and which was fin
ally suppressed by the government. If
a recent issue of Viereck's present
publication may be taken as a fair
sample, this should also be suppress
ed The issue in hand is devoted to
a large extent to prove the bad faith
Of our government in dealing with
Germany prior to our declaration of
war, and to attacks upon the British
and French governments. 1t is charg-
ed that the government of the United
States, through its ambassadors to
France under Roosevelt Taft and
Wilson, had agreed to enter the war
on the side of France and England "as
soon as the requisite spirit of resent
ment could be aroused against Ger
many" to precipitate the war. An
insert is devoted exclusively to ma
igning the French both in written |
matter and cartoon, and the paper /
is a deliberate affront to |
he people of those countries who /
through great sacrifice succeeded in
'idding the world of the German
menace. Viereck's paper is a renew
Il of German propaganda that was
'arried on so successfully in this
country during the period before the
var and after war was declared. and
n view of that experience, this at
empt to poison the minds of German
md other citizens in regard to the
-ttitude of our government should be
suppressed.

HOW WILL OHIO GO IN NoVEM-

Ohio republicans will say 'republi-

situation western republican head
quarters has compiled a brief and in
teresting political history of Ohio
that points strongly to a republican
victory this year.
Records of the Ohio secretary of
state show Ohio has gone republican
in every presidential election since
1860 but twice. 1t went democratic in
1912 when the republicans were split
and again in 1916 when "he kept us
out of war" proved TO be an effective
slogan. These records show Govern
or Cox has never polled so per cent of
the vote in the state; that twice his
election was due to a schism in the
republican ranks, and the third time
to a republican DETECTION in Hamil-
ton county, the largest in the state
and which includes Cincinnati. If
anything near a normal Hamilton
republican vote had been poll
ed, Cox would have been defeated

SEPARATE PEACE WILL NOT IN
JURE OTHER NATIONS.

In his denunciation of a separate
peace" Mr. Cox uses the words in an
unfair attempt to create prejudice.
During the war. it would have been an
act Of dishonor for any one of the ma
lions arrayed against the central pow
ers to make a separate peace, for that
would have weakened the cause of
the allies. For the United States to
have made a separate peace then
would have been a moral wrong. But
actual peace has now been arrived at
so far as the nations involved in that
struggle are concerned, and the only
reason why the United States was not
a party to the peace treaty was that

RANTINe OF ROOSEVELT.
(St Louis Timesl

Perhaps the American nation should
really not lay it up against Franklin
d. Roosevelt for making an honored
name so ridiculous by the things he
says and does while doing it. Not all
the fellows named Solomon behave
wisely, there are George Washingtons
galore in jail, and Abraham Lincolns
have been known to steal chickens.
STILL Candidate Roosevelt should have
a keener appreciation of the ethics of
the hour. If he can not utter sober
and sensible sentiments, he might at
least keep silent on momentous occa-
sions and subjects Then the annoy
ed public would be willing to grant
him proper intentions, though contin-
ling to deny that he possessed any
such capability as one bearing the
lame of Roosevelt is naturally ex-
,ected to show.
