to both, to consent to the candidacy of
one whose distinguished father in law
is taking such prominent part in franz
ing the platform of this convention.
So the McAdoo forces have taken on
life, and have rearranged their
lines. They are not convinced McAdoo
deliberately withdrew and failed to en-
courage any movement for himself sim
ply because he believed the only way the
nomination should come to him, if at all,
would be after the convention had spon-
taneously chosen him without regard to
his own wishes or any suggestion direct
or indirect from the White House. He
would be in an infinitely stronger posi-
ton before the country if 50 nominated
and would not be obligated either to his
distinguished father-in- law or anyone
else and would be absolutely free from
pledges or convention promises.
With the single question of i'll health
removed which, by the way, troubled
McAdoo's friends more than anything
else for it was the only way they coulc
account for the suddenness and mys
teriousness of his tactics, there is
change from dependency to enthusiasm
in the McAdoo camp. They are now de
terrphled to 60 ahead, and the announce
meutI that DR.. Burris Jenkins of kansa
| City will place McAdoo's name in nomi
nation without his consent has serve,
to concentrate attention upon the nomi
mating speech.
4 Mr.. ,McAdoo, incidentally, in his lates
statement, appears to be laboring unde
| the impression that the story about hi
| having serious illness was inspired b.
| sources unfriendly to him for he says
after denying the published report, tina
lit would be impossible for me to pub
licly characterize such despicable meth
ods.'
1 There was no effort to iniure McAdoo'
chances of nomination. The story wa
on the lips of many good friend c
] McAdoo and was the principal item c
| gossip among the McAdoo supporter
some arguing it was true and some cor
i tending it wasn't. Mr. McAdoo's refer
enee to 'despicable methods" suggests t
some observers here that the former SCI
rotary of the treasury is sensitive abot
his candidacy and believes there is SON

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-William
Gibbs McAdoo's declaration that he was
not quitting the presidential race because
of i'll health strengthened his position
with his many friends here who had
come to the conclusion that the advice of
a physician had something to do with
his abrupt refusal to have his name pre-
scented to the Democratic national con-
vention.
But the statement made no reference
to the second theory generally advanced
here that President Wilson and his
former secretary of the treasury have
concluded that it would be embarrassing
