THREW AWAY v.-P. CHANCES
Kansas Stuck to McAdOo. Refusing
Trades-Hodges High Man Now.

San Francisco, July by remain
ing loyal to McAdoo to the last ditch
Kansas twice threw away a vice presi-
Dental nomination, one Saturday and
another Monday, when the McAdoo
men on the delegation stood as a unit
against the Cox forces. There were
nine members of the Kansas deiega-
ton who were for Cox in the begin
ming, but they felt the state was for
McAdoo and did not press their views.
There were at least twelve members
of the delegation who favored Cox for
second choice. which gave a tremen-
dous sentiment for Cox in the delega-
ton. When Cox reached his first high
vote Saturday, the delegation stood
to II in favor of going over to Cox
George Hodges had been consistently
for Cox, but Jouett Shouse and Sam
AmidOn, McAdOo floor mana gers, held
the eleven votes faithfully to McAdoo.
and the chance was lost Saturday.
Then Cox sank down again to emerge
with McAdoo as one OF the two prin-
cipals on Monday.
The entire convention was watching
Kansas Saturday afternoon and Mon
day the Cox men began to bring real
| pressure to bear on the Kansas men.
| Friends of Hodges were told Hodges
could ahave the nomination for vice
| president if he could deliver the Kan
sas delegation. Hodges refused to
trade altho he said he personally had
| been for Cox. Ed Moore, manager for
/ Cox, made the OIISr TO hodges ana

stood with Shouse and Amidon and re-

The net result of the nomination of
Cox is that Hodges will be the big
force in Kansas if Cox should win in
November.
Dan Callahan. deiegate-at-Iarge in
Kansas, said that he and other dele
gates felt that there was nothing to
do but. to go down with the McAdoo

who were for McAdoo took the matter
very lightly. Mrs. W. A. CocheI. ma

did Mrs. John Keith, secretary of the
