S Vote
Split; Half Goes
To Schuylennar

San Francisco, June 29.-Admin-
istration supporters strengthened the
hold on the democratic national con-
vention through series of victories
in the credentials committee which
decided three hotly fought contests.
One of these was the denial Of d seat
in the convention to Senator James
A. Reed Of Missouri. The Clark How
ell delegates in Georgia pledged to
Attorney General Palmer, also were
seated. Both actions were in accord
with previous decisions of the nation
al committee.
. The credentials committee however,
overruled the national committee in
the Oregon case where it seated r.
r. Turner and John l.. Schuyleman
giving each one half vote. Turner
who was selected by the Oregon state
committee to fill vacancy caused by
the death of George T. Baldwin was
forced to yield half of his vote to
Schuyleman, described as a strong
administration lupporter. Schuyle-
man 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.

|Keeney Says Party
:: Platform, ::
Made To Get In On
BY Patrick S. Keeney

Especial to Capital Journal)
San Francisco, June 29.-The lea
que of nations, prohibition and the
Irish question are the leading planks
being considered by the platform
builders Of the democratic national
convention here, and it now seems as
if prohibition may be eliminated.
But, then, political party platforms
are somewhat like street car plat
forms-they are not made to stand
on, but to get in on.
The convention got into action Mon
day with great keynote address by
Chairman Cummings Following
remarkable scene of cheering and pa
rading caused by the unveiling of an
1oil painting of President Wilson,
which lasted about 20 minutes.
The uncertainty regarding who will
be the successful candidate for the
presidential nomination is very much
like the condition which existed nj
Chicago. But it now looks very much
like stampede to McAdoo, despite
his refusal to become candidate
Other leading candidates are Palmer
and Cox and there arr about a dozen
favorite sons commonly known as
dark horses
The Oregon delegation organized
by electing Lee M Travis of Eugene,
chairman; R. r. Turner. Roseburg,
secretary; Judge T. HI. Crawford, mem
ber of platform committee.
Will E. Purdy, delegate at large
from Salem. is boosting Senator
Chamberlain and says that he will
place him in nomination.

Headquarters Of
McAdoo Informal

San Francisco, June 29. - Such
headquarters as William G. McAdoo
will have at the convention were open
ed here today. They consist of three
rooms rented by personal frienus of
McAdoo, and are to be used solely
for conferences. No one is in charge
of them nor is publicity campaign
from them being planned. Confer
ences nightly, perhaps will be held
by McAdoo's supporters during the
remainder of the convention.
No claims are being advanced by
the McAdoo supporters as to the
votes on the first or subsequent bal
lots. Reports made by men on dif-
ferent state delegations however
claim anywhere from ESQ to 39o-
These figures represent the minimum
and maximum reports
Mr.. McAdoos friends say he may
run third in the balloting on early
votes. They expect Palmer to lead be-
cause he has tremendous "complt-
mentary'' vote that will be cast Iot
him on the first ballot. Cox may run
second they say and after that the
break will be towards McAdoc.

Bryan Explains
His Labor Plank

r San Francisco, June 28.-William
J. Bryan today made public his plan
for the settlement of industrial dis
putes, which he proposes to submit
to the democratic convention.
'I shall submit for the considera-
ton of the committee very simple
plan which is identical in its general
provisions with the plan embodied in
thirty treaties with. three quarters OF
the world and afterwards made the
cornerstone of the league of nations.
Even before 1 suggested it for inter-
national disputes, | endeavored to
have 1t applied to industrial disputes.
1t contemplates permanent board
of three members, one chosen from
classes assumed to be in sympathy
with the employer. one from the
classes supposed to be in sympathy
with the employe and the third Sc
lected with view to finding a per-
son as nearly impartial as possible.
This commission should have author
ity TO investigate an industrial dis
pute at the request of either side or
upon its own initiative. In each dis
pute two members would be added -
the commission, one chosen by each
side in order that each side might be
sure to have a representative on the
commission. A limited time would be
allowed for investigation The report
of the commission would not be bind
ing on either side but would be a
guide to public opinion"

Convention
Work Today
Only Routine

Auditorium, San Francisco, June
29.---Assembling an hour later than
usual today, the democratic nationar
convention had before 1t only a routine
session. necessary time killer to
give opportunity for committee work
on the outside and the final perfec-
tion OF its Organization machinery.
A second keynote speech BY Senator
Joseph T. Robinson OF Arkansas, tha
successful administration candidate
tor permanent chairman. was the
principal event on the program.
Credentials Fight Looms
Prospects for spectacular fight on
the floor over the action OF the creden-
tials committee which sustained xne
democratic national committee In ita
refusal to seat Senator Reed OF Mia-
Souri, as delegate were hedged about
with uncertainty. There were pre-
dictions that the contest would not be
carried further unless Reed deter
mined to attempt to force himself In
to place with the Missouri delegation
by proxy. The Georgia case also. in
which the credentials committee sus-
tanned the national committee and
seated Palmer delegates to the exciuS-
ion of the Smith -Watson faction ALSO
,seemed to have bsefi settled with
finality, although there was always
the chance of aslast minute outburst.
Dry Problem Waits
While the full membership OF tho
platform COMMITTEES continued to
grind away hearing Interested persons
who had planks to suggest. the sub
committee Of nine which actually WIN
whip the planks into shape and decide
whether William J. Bryan is to nave
a bone dry plank or whether the party
shall accept some sort Of compromise
such as that suggested by Postmaster
General Brrleson. was laying back
waiting for the hearings to end before
it takes up it's task OF actually builr-
ing the platform. In the meantime
the subcommittee were not losing
the opportunity to get preliminaries
out of the way.
The McAdoo people came on to the
convention floor today for the first
time with a working organization in
cluding a floor leader and q repre-
sentative on practically every staAe
delegation. Their problem was to find
enough supporters to round up two
thirds vote. Cox and Palmer forces
were active rounding up a showing
for the opening ballots
Control Is Complete
Administration forces were In full
control OF the convention machinery
and seemed little doubt Of their power
to guide the adoption of platform
entirely satisfactory to them. They
were also apparently in position 20
exercise a veto power over any candi-
date unsatisfactory to them. There
was still today no indication OF whetn-
err any word might be expected from
the White House as to administrator
preference on candidates.
Inevitably this situation led to dis-
cussion of dark horses because no one
knew if the White House would fa~or
any particular candidate. Leaders In
the dark horse paddock are Vice-Pres-
ident Marshall, Chairman CUMMINGS

BOXING
SHOW PLANNED
Affair Will be Held in Audito-
: rum on Tuesday Night,
Dec. Il, for Benefit of Poor

The two local promoters Of the
boxing carnival to be staged in the
Auditorium on Tuesday night. De-
cember 81, for the benefit of the
poor, have succeeded in securing
John NJ. O'Toolc, cashier of the
First National Bank, to look after
the financial end of the show. III
securing Mr.. O'Toole to do this work
the promoters are of the belief that
the carnival will be all the more a
financial success.
Both Edward Poulsen and Ernest
Hunt, the two men who decided on
running this show for the benefit of
the poor children of Perth Amboy
are spending a great deal of their
time making preparations for this
show, and there is no reason why
some people in this city should not
lend a hand in making money so
that the poor children can enjoy
Christmas day as well as their more
fortunate neighbors.
Poulsen has started preparing the
program of vents for the carnival
and from all reports the card should
be one of the best ever u off in
this state. Arrangements have been
made with the Auditorium Sporting
Club to secure the hall and ring for
use on this night, DIR. John v. Smith
has agreed to give his services to
the cause free of charge. and it is
likely that a number of boxers in
this vicinity can be secured to aid in
the campaign for the poor.
The various sporting clubs and
teams in this city should aid Messrs
Hunt and Poulsen in their under
taking by bringing this carnival be-
fore their members and the public
as much as possible. 1t is likely
that the tickets for the carnival will
be out in a short while, and anyone
desiring to aid in the distribution OF
same should call on Edward Poul-
sen, 223 Market street.
