of a nomination before midnight, but
it was without result. The leaders
were willing to pick dark horse, and
the attempt was made to put over
Ambassador Davis, but the delegates
refused to follow the leaders, and
continued to vote almost to man as
they had before the adjournment, and
they continued to do so until midnight
forced an adjournment to Monday.
1t was the caucuses of Sunday and
Sunday night that made the final
nomination possible.

fort at painting a word picture or the
Democratic convention of 1920. 1t
was a convention that will be reme.H
bered as one of the most fiercely
fought political battles, one of the
most picturesque political gatherings
in the nations history. There were
hundreds of exciting incidents that
appealed strongly to the great audi
ence of every session. and in these in
cidents, and also in the important at
fairs of the convention, women played
u prominent and conspicuous part. The
party doubled the membership Of Its
national committee, giving to women
an equal representation in each state.

important convention committees.
San Francisco did its full part as
host to the Democratic throng. and
every arrangement for the entertain
ment and comfort of the city's guests
was perfect. The great auditorium.
seating some $4,000 people, was filled
TO capacity at each session, but there
was neve, any discomfort. and never
any undue crowding. Despite the dis
lance that many Of the delegates
travelled 1t is safe to say they will vote
for San Francisco as national politi-
cal convention city Of the future.

was nominated for vice president by
reclamation at the Tuesday afternoon
session.
1t was a real convention, and more
especially a real Democratic conven-
lion that adjourned on Tuesday. II was
a convention that was run by the
1904 delegates and an equal number
Of alternates. 1t was leaderless, and
In fact if 1t may be said to have had
a fault at all II was this lack of lead
ershlp that for many weary hours
made 1t seem impossible for the neces-
sary two-thirds to reach an agreement
on the choice of candidate. During
these hours and days there were a
number of men who were quite will
ing to assume leadership, but no one
Of them, or no group of them, could
find a sufficient number of followers
to make their leadership effective
The delegates insisted that they, ant
not any self-appointed group of lead
ers, represented the rank and file o.
the Democratic party, and each dele
gate insisted on voting the way h
believed his people at home wished
him to vote, and regardless of an.
| plea for a compromise.
The opening of the great gathering
was as featureless as all such open
ings are. There was an air Of eX
pectancy in the vast audience fc

audience had looked for fight star
ing with the fall of Vice-Chairma

than the masterful keynote address G

lined the issues on which the DEM
cratic party would ask the people fC

the majority report was adopted with

While the platform as adopted may
be said to represent victory for the
administration forces as led BY Sem
ator Glass. II WAS not adopted with
out giving all a chance to secure such
changes as a. majority Of the delegates
favored. On the liquor question Mr..
Bryan pointed out after the session
that the vote for his dry plank and
the Cochran wet plank combined did
not represent a majority Of the dele
gates. which was an evidence that
the party was determined TO ignore
the subject.
Much as the great audiences had
appreciated the oratorical displays,
and the keen competitions that had
marked the efforts to secure party
endorsement for opposing ideas. the
one great feature Of the national show
far which all had waited was the bal
loting on candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination, and when Chairman
Robinson. of Arkansas, announced
the next order of business as the call
of the roll of states, Immediately after
the adoption Of the platform. he was
greeted with mighty roar.
All realized that the first ballot
taken on Friday night, would merely
show a general lineup of the forces
and that no decisive result was pos
sible until such time as the contes
could be narrowed down to the rea
leaders. The McAdOo, Cox and Pal
mer forces were all claiming Ger
tain victory, while the adherents o
such candidates as Senator Owen, Am
bassador Davis, Vice-President Maj
shall and National Chairman Cum
mings, were certain that no one Q
the three leaders could be successful
and that their candidate would b

UNSUCCESSFUL IN
ATTEMPT ON LIFE
Schnellie Walks From Ambu-
lance Before Emer-
gency Run.

Frank Schnellie, 1922 Napier St.
may have had reasons for wishing
to commit suicide but as a judge
Of poison he would not rank high
as a pharmacist. His idea Of the
amount of concoction necessary to
end life was that aoout a teaspoon
full of a mixture Of chloroform and
Glove oil would turn the trick.
Soon after s o'clock Friday night
the police department received an
ambulance call from Schnellie' S
home and an ambulance was hur-
riedly sent to the scene. Motor
cycle officer Mcintyre was also
assigned 10 investigate the case.
Schnellie was seemingly uncon-
scious upon the arrival OF the am
bulance and the officer and he was
loaded in the machine to be taken
10 the hospital. Everything was
ready for the emergency run when
suddenly the patient arose and
walked out of the ambulance.
Family trouble. the officer report
ed, was responsible for Schnellie's
action.
