From Delegates.
BY Associated Press


AUDITORIUM, SAN FRAN
CISCO. June 3O.-After hearing ten
candidates placed in nomination for
the presidency. the democratic ma
tional convention, after an eight
hour session Wednesday. recessed
until II o'clock Thursday.
John w. Davis. ambassador TO
Great Britain. was the only man on
the list OF those for whom nomina-
ton speeches were TO be made who
was not reached on that days pro-
gram. The candidates placed in
nomination were: Sen. owen, of
Kentucky; Atty Gen. Palmer; Sen.
Hitchcock. OF Nebraska; Homer s.
Cummings. chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee; William
G. McAdoo: Gov. Smith, of New
York; Gov. Edwards, of New Jer-
sey; Sec'y Meridith; Gov. Cox, OF
Ohio, and James w. Gerard. former
ambassador TO Germany.
Big Demonstrations
The big demonstrations of the
day came with the presentation of
Palmer, Cox and McAdoo, although
there was a spontaneous outburst
with the presentation OF Gov. Smith.
The Cox and Palmer demonstra-
tions were fully expected and looked
for but the McAdoo nomination,
coming after days OF uncertainty as
10 whether a nominating speech was
TO be made for him or not, added an
element Of interest and surprise. II
was easily the loudest, longest and
most tumultuous one and kept the
convention in an uprOar for the
best part of an hour.
Dr. Burris Jenkins, OF Kansas
City, who was ready TO Ilace the
former secretary OF tile treasury IN
nomination, finally decided TO yield
TO the wishes of Mr.. McAdoo and
not make a nominating speech for
him. He simply explained the sit
uation TO the convention in one of
the shortest speeches on record and
merely announced that he placed
Mr.. McAdoo in nomination, fully
assured that If drafted for the serv-
ice of the country he would not re-
fuse the nomination"
Convention AdjOurns.
1t was fully expected that all the
nominating speeches would be made
Wednesday and when an adjourn
ment was taken until Thursday the
convention would have a clear track
to begin consideration OF the plat
form. But after eight wearying
hours of continuous session that
were jammed with nerve strain, the
convention felt IL had enough after
IL heard nominating speeches for
ten candidates, concluding with Gov.
Edwards OF New Jersey, and on mo-
ton OF Rep. Floyd. of Virginia. sus-
pended its rules and took a recess
until II O'Clock Thursday morning.
At that hour the business OF placing
candidates in nomination will be re-
sumed with the prospect that the
name of John w. Davis, ambassador
TO Great Britain. will be the only one
presented. The platform commit
tee. the convention leaders hoI e,
will be ready 10 report az that time
and the convention can then dis
pose Of the platform and proceed TO
balloting for presidential nominee
possibly Thursday night or Friday.

seconded by Mrs. Florence 7. Cot
nam, of Little Rock, Ark. who
praised the candidates record on
woman suffrage and said that he
had made himself the friend of all
mothers and children by lighting
against anarchy and profiteering.
Still another secOnding speech was
made by Mrs. George Q. Ormsby. of
Oakland, Cal. She said women
would always recember that the at
torney general was the father of the
child labor law and had stood for
equality of rights for women.
The delegates apparently liked TO
listen to the women speakers and
they got a lot of applause.
The roll of states continued, the
chairmah of the Georgia delega-
tion said his group had seconded in
Palmer's nomination. In order the
states up to Iowa passed and then
Claude r. Porter. OF Iowa, took the
platform and presented the name
of Sec'y Meredith
He was greeted with cheers, but
the delegates were apparently get
ting their full of oratory and when
the speaker prefaced his speech
with remark that he would Occu-
py only a moment, there was wave
of laughter and applause.
YcIp Of Enthusiasm.
There was a yelp of enthusiasm
when Mr.. Porter in recOunung the
achievements of the democratic ad-
mlnistratiOn, mentioned the prohibi-
tion amendment. Il was the first
time the subject had been named
on the convention floor. Meantime.

and before Mr.. Porter was half
through tho old convention cry of
tired delegates, Name him, name
him." was heard for the first time
from scattered sections of the hall.
During the speech Sen. Robinson
called Mrs George Bass TO take the
chair and there was a roar OF cheer
ing as the delegates saw n woman
for the first time in this country's
political history holding the gavel
over the national convention Of a
big party.
Iowa delegates the roll Of the states
was continued and Kentucky yielded
to Ohio. In "A deafening roar OF ap-
plause. Judge j. c. johnson. OF Co
lumbus, took the platform 10 nomi-
nate Gov. Cox.
The Cox band away up Dy the
rafters struck up a campaign song
and a cheer leader in a lower gal

burst of cheers for COX. Cox, James

Quiet was soon restored, however,

on, Rhode Island. Florida and Ha-

and went in the line.
The standards of Maine and Porto
Rico also got irtO the parade as it
churned around the convention
floor.
Woman Stirs Delegates.
After it had been on for fifteen
minutes. the demonstration showed
not a sign of diminishing in en-
thusiasrn or the volume Of the noise
II produced. A woman with {. bright
green skirt got on the speakers
platform and stirred q new tempest
of noise while the cheer leaders
kert up their work in all parts Of
the hall.
The demonstration had b6n on
for 35 minutes when Sen. Robinson
leaned over the edge of the plat
form and told the demonstrating
PENNSYLVANIA delegates TO put lap
their state standard and sit down.
They did so and with that the fire.

They're all candidates. too. g cry

about the same chance for the NOM
ination which is no chance at all.
Blu. what they don't know about
what Mr. Wilson wants is positively
amazing
Could Call sIceting.
OF course. Mr.. Colby. as ranking
member. could call a cabinet meet
ing right here in san Francisco and
give the convention the orders that
IL is so eagerly waiting for
But-the last secretary OF state
who called a cabinet meeting land
ed very soon thereafter on his neck
and ears i'm the exact middle Of
Pennsylvania av.. which is a way
OF saying that he stopped being sec
rotary OF state right off the reel
So. Mr. Colby. who has never held
great office before. is going 10 be
extremely conservative about call
ing any cabinet meetings, or about
making any definite statements
about what the president wants the
convention 70 do.
OF course these abiuet mem bers
could. II they wanted 90, all get to-
gether on one man and put him
over.
Two Reasons.
The reason they do not IS two
fold. First. each one OF them is a
candidate himself and If he sup
ported one OF his colleagues, and
said colleague got the nomination
where would he be? Second II the
l~e as cabinet mem bers happened
- name man the president didn't
want, and they probably would. in
would drop into the Office Of each
and tell them coldly that he was
The new boss OF the department.
The position of these cabinet Of
rcers has therefore been extremely
embarrassing When they are ap-
preached on the hypothesis that as
the presidents advisors they know
what he wants. they have 10 ad-
NIT they do not know
ON the Inside.
And when they are asked what
81 is that the president wishes.
they've got 10 be evasive and stall
and pretend they are too deeply in
his confidence 20 be allowed 10 tell.
In all conventions that have gone
before this, the gathering OF such
great number OF cabinet members
would have settled the works right
from the jump.
In Baltimore. OF course. there
Nve.e no cabinet officers. for the
de&oCrats az that time were un-
hfpiiy on the outside looking in.
But IN ST. Louis they appeared in
n body and told the convention TO
Tenominate Wilson. and sure
enough the convention did exactly
Nvhat they said.
They could tell the convention TO
Nominate Wilson today but the only
reason they don't is because the
tonvertion wouldn't do IT,

Have Good Time and Win Every
thing.

The Dolores baseball team went out
to Utah last week to help the Mormons
celebrate. The first game they played
was at Lockerby and here they won by
score of Is to 4, on Saturday they
played the Monticello team at Monti-
| cello and won by score of ID to l,
then on Sunday they drove distance
of 50 miles, over rough roads, to Moab
and played the Fruita team at that
place winning by score of 10 to 6.
The Fruita team is one of the strong
teams of the Western Slope and this is
the second time that 1t has been
defeated this season. Bay and Hughes
were the battery for the Lockerby
game, Grantham and Hughes for Mont
icello, Bay and Hughes for the Fruita
game.
The Dolores team was represented
by A. S. Miller, Grant Hughes. F. l..
Smith, VIM Womack, Clint Schaaf,
John Thomas, Joe Grantham, VIM.
Bay, Charles H. Rash and George
Rees. Newell Martin had charge of
the transportation. Mrs. Grant
Hughes accompanied her husband on
the trip. The journey was made in
the Martin and Miller cars.
The boys returned Monday evening
and are loud in their praise of the
treatment they received while they
were away. Every courtesy possible
was shown them. AT Monticello they
were taken into homes and treated as
guests. The boys they played against
were genuine sports and the best of
feeling existed everywhere.
The boys are now looking for bigger
game and if some manager who thinks
he has team that can play ball will
communicate with A. S. Miller he ia
/ likely to secure date
