AGAINST him. He found himself in az
great disfavor as the President with tne
organization leaders In these Important
States. He had refused TO recognize
tho organisation In dispensing patronage
within his gift, particularly the thou-
sands of internal revenue Jobs. He had
preferred to build up his personal ma
chine with this patronage. He has the
personal machine, but In those pls
States the organization has the dele
gates, and the organization regards the
result as q Joke on McAdoo.
In this predicament 1t Is believed ne
decided that his best chance lay In max
ing himself a dark horse, available ior

withdrew his naIne from consideration
while Bernard Baruch. Thomas u.
Chadbourne and Daniel A. Roper VINO
were promoting his boom, cancelled
their reservations in San Francisco
not without some ostentation.
The Administration leaders decided
TODAY 10 substitute Senator Joseph T.
Robinson OF Arkansas for Bainbridge
Colby as permanent chairman or me
convention. Little Joe" is a great
friend OF Bryan, but he Is stalwar'
Administration senator. and doubtless ne
could come as near as anybody TO Keep
ing the peace. The leaders decided tney
needed Colby's oratorical powers upon
the floor of the convention when Bryan
gets to going. Therefore Colby Will rep
resent the District Of Columbia on the
resolutions committee and will be moor
leader, acting directly in the interests OF
woodrow Wilson and in constant COM
munlcation with the President.
The opposition to Carter Glass TOT
chairman Of the resolutions committee
has developed surprising strength.
Rebels Won't stand for Glass.
The Administration planned to boss
the platform Job through Glass, but the
rebels wouldn't stand for 1t. Rallylng
back to Senator Walsh OF Montana, the
Democrats who believe It is wise to at
tach reservations to the treaty and
League of Nations as the only way OF
procuring ratification, will make a hard
fight against the one thing that Wilson
seems to want most. Senator Walsh
said to-day:
"I believe I will defeat Glass. l have
sufficient pledges and promises to war
rant that statement There Is general
feeling here that the Presidents insist
ence must not be allowed to wreck the
party. Many Of US stood by the Presi-
dent until II became evident that there
was no way to ratify the treaty without
reservations. We preferred treaty
with reservations to no treaty at ALL
That Is the situation right here IN san
Francisco"
When the convention meets tomorrow

Coalition to He Permanent.
The coalition was formed after the
Westerners had dined as the guests OF
the California delegation at the Fair

was formed, with Gov. s. v. Stewart

Gavin McNab described the movement
as the long delayed union Of Western
interests" Gov. Stewart, in taking the
chair, predicted that the great West

It Is no longer a suppliant at she feet
OF the East and South.
