This was the last day for such bids to

This will, in many respects, be one
of the most important enterprises es-
tablished in Columbia since the an
nouncement that Camp Jackson

given an immediate and added value
when Col. +. G. MauldIn of the Coast

Sentiment In Ohi0an's Favor
Grows With Arrival of Con-
ventiOn Delegates.

May Be Asked to Hands Off.
MANAGERS ARE ACTIVE
(Hy Il. N. RIcKEY.)

San Francisco, June 25.-Governol
Cox. of Ohio. is threatened with the
presidential nomination.
This is not only the opinion Of the
Cox managers and workers, but it is
the judgment of many of the most ex-
perienced disinterested observers. The
most satisfactory indication from the
standpoint of those who want Coz
nominated. is that sentiment in his
favor seems to increase with the ar
rival of the delegates.
This is really the first day there
has been enough delegates on the
ground to base an analysis OF the sit
uation upon what they are thinking
about and saying. s
After all, as the delegates are the
ones who do the nominating. their
views are quite as important and in
teresting as the speculations of the
so-called political experts.
There is no getting away from the
fact that in almost every state dele
CATION which is not already instructed
for Cox, there is lot of second choice
sentiment for the opinion of the gov
ernor.
In a convention such as this, where
it requires two-thirds to nominate
and in which no candidate will have
even one-third of the votes on the
first ballot. second choice strength is
the most valuable asset that any can
didate can have.
The Cox managers. under the lead
ership of E. HI. Moore. the Ohio nation
al committeeman, who is a past master
in the art of practical convention pol
itics, are busy night and day getting
second choice pledges for the Ohio
candidate.
Their claims as to results are OF
course rather extravagant. but after
full allowance has been made for this
the fact remains that there is very
basis for their hopes.
The Cox people have the distinct
over the managers of the
other candidates in their ability to
urge his nomination on the basis OF
logic and reason.
Cox is the only candidate who is in
sight of the goal who does not have

Program Calls for Ruling Out
Reed and Hardwick; Fight On
Glass Apparently Collapsed.

San Francisco, June 25.-So far as
surface indications are concerned, at
least, friends of President Wilson and
his administration appeared in COM
plete control of the political machinery
of the democratic party today as the
actual preliminaries of the national
convention began.
Their domination was not without

that on show down the anti admins

minority but lacking in organization

the program for the NATIONAL commit
tee to decide contests. The commit
tee met with the stage set for a
ruling calculated to keep out of the
convention Senator Reed, of Missouri,
and former Senator Hardwick. OF
Georgia. two OF the bitterest critics
of Wilson policies.
Another development pointing in the
same direction was the apparent coll

the resolutions committee. for which
he was commonly reported to have
been selected by the president him

In addition there is accommodating
evidence that Bryan will find the cards
stacked against him in his attempt to
put in a League of Nations plan in
disagreement with the presidents
views and prohibition enforcement
plan, framed without acquiescence of
the administration.
San Francisco, June 25.-Regarding
prohibition, however, there is consid-
erable uncertainty with the trend ap-
parently toward its exclusion from the
platform entirely though extremists
on both sides have threatened to carry
the fight to the convention floor. Pres
ident Wilson has not made known
where he stands on prohibition or
candidates.
San Francisco, June 25.-The demo-
cratic national committee tonight de-
cided to take up the Georgia delega-
tion contest tomorrow and adjourned
until 10 a. m, after seating, r.. r..
Turner. Of Oregon, delegate at large,
was selected by the state commit
tee to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of G.. T. Baldwin.
John L. Schuyleman, who contested
his seat with Turner announced he
would carry the fight to the creden-
tial scommittee. Some leaders planned
to have sub b-committees hear contests
but on roll call being demanded the
committee voted 26 to 20 for full
committee to hear them.
An important action by the COM
mittee was the unanimous adoption
with recommendation to the national
convention that each state and ter
ritory be represented in the national
committee by one man, and one
woman. The committee also decided
TO give the Panama canal zone rep
resentation in the convention.
