dent Wilson was pursuing a hands off
policy added confusion to the situation
10 every argument advanced for some
dark horse objections were heard in op-
position. Those opposed to Cox argued
the Ohio governor had reached the max
lmum of his strength and lost his op-
portunity when the suspension of the
halloting was permitted for the recess
McAdoo and Palmer forces were i'm
portuned by each other to find a way to
stop him.
Cox Forces Insistent.
Despite the statements of some ad-
ministration leaders that 1T cannot go
to Cox the Cox forces pointed out that
the dark horse movement had found no
rallying point and that Cox still re-
mained potential force which from
small number at the start, had taken the
lead in the balloting and nosed McAdoo
out of first place.
McAdoo Forces "Pat".
McAdoo supporters had conference
and according to their announced plan
they decided TO stand pat" and attempt
to hold all the votes they could They
SAID no attempt would be made to
coalesce with the Palmer people tonight
because they felt q breaking of the
Palmer block would turn votes to Cox.
III suofI, the COX people were deter
mined to beat MeAdoo, and the McAdoo
people were no less determined to beat
Cox. Leaders planned to hold the con-
vention in session through the night if
necessary and said they were sure there
would be nominee before daylight.
At 8 p. m. the hour for reassembling,
the leaders and delegates. as usual were
late in arriving. Thousands of San
Francisco people who had tickets to the
convention were deprived of seeing the
session tonight because of the recess.
The galleries were packed indscrimin-
ately because of lack Of tickets.

order. Vance Mccormick chairman of
the Democratic national committee re-
calling that Democratic national con-
vention never sits on Sunday and pre-
dieting no nomination before midnight,

making drive to get back some of their
lost strength as the convention was COM

Administrators Full Control
of Convention Is Evidenced by
Adoption of Platform Report

Kelly and Ramsey voting for this amend
ment and the rest of the delegation
aginst it.
The feeling in the Montana delega-
ton. as indeed in many other delegations,
was that they should stand by the
majority report as presented BY Senator
Glass because once they started IN 90
optng amendments TO it there was no
telling how far the convention might go.
That sentiment resulted III the over
Whclming defeat Of every change pro
posed. including those so powerfully ad-
vocated by Mr.. Bryan.
The Montana delegation started I'D the
baIloting for president by giving all their
votes in the first ballot to Mr.. Gerard.
except the vote, of Senator Walsh. VINO
wished his cast for McAdoo.
On the second ballot the Montana
delegation scattered their votes between
the leading candidates, with the purpose
Of making friends in various dclega-
tions which might later reciprocate by
voting for Governor Stewart for vice
president. On the third ballot one vote
was east for Governor Edwards Of New
Jersey by James F. Bole, and the other
votes were divided between the leading
candidates From that time in the vote
Of Montana was cast solidly for McAdoo
until about the twelfth ballot. when the
Montana went four for Cox aud four
for McAdoo.
It is however. well understood in the
Montana delegation that all of them
favor McAdoo for first choice and that
he can have the solid vote Of Montana
any time that it will serve to bring him
the nomination.

Davis Unexpected Gains.
All through the 16 ballots Governor
Cox had made steady gains until he had
taken the lead from McAdoo and was
heading toward a majority. Then on the
". Davis, American ambassador to
Great Britain, whose votes from West
Virginia had been standing steady all
day, suddenly loomed up with new
strength which he drew from all the
others. He figured in the center of the
dark horse talk.
The language of the parleys between
McAdoo and Palmer was in effect Now

made no secret of their fear of its pro-
portions.
Chairman Glass of the resolutions
committee who spoke for President VIII
son in the framing of the party platform
declared in talking with friends that sit
must not be Cox" and when asked what
would happen if Cox got the majority of
the convention and according to custom
expected the two-thirds vote. Glass repl-
ed that Champ Clark had majority
at Baltimore" How Mr., Clark got
majority. but failed of nomination is only
recent political history.
Several things seemed to stand out
above the noise and clamor and discom
fort of the days balloting Principal
among them was the fact that the Nc
Adoo movement had not taken on the
"glaring movement which its boomers
had predicted for it. and that the Cox
people who were openly very discouraged
a day or two ago picked up and made
constant and consistent gains which
amazed their opponents and the conven-
tion.
Palmer Also Disappointed.
The Palmer vote dwindled away much
to the dismay of the Pennsylvanians
who Loyalty stood by the ally all the way
for dinner, really gave the opposing
forces the much needed opportunity to
find sort OF a common meeting ground.
Dark Horse Certain

of get together movement between the

were that the successful forces would
be obliged to concentrate on dark
horse.

out of consideration. Franklin d. Roose-

COURTPROVES

Women's S Separate Tribunal
Points Way to Leading
Better Lives.
MENTALITY PASSED ON
New 's, York Judge Advocates
Probation m Preference
To,Sentences.

Practically. every device known as
an aid to justice. mercy and law is
being used in the .women's Separate
Day Court OF New York City. pre-
sided over by Judge Jean Norris.
The latest Innovation of the court
is the establishment Of a psychia-
trist who passes, on the mental
status of women who come before
the court when the Judge, is in
doubt as to their mental capacity.
The procedure Of the court is diff
ferent from that of the ordinary
Municipal Court into which women
of the streets are hailed.
Girl IL Given Choice.
When a girl is brought into the
Women's Court, before her plea. of
guilty" or mot guilty" is taken,
she is given an opportunity to se-
cure counsel IL she wishes, to get
bail. to communicate free of charge
by telephone or otherwise with her
friends or she Is given the. option of
an immediate trial or an adjourn
ment suiting her convenience.
After a girls case Is heard. and
il she is convicted. Judge Norris
has one of seveIa Ial options. If the
girl is a first or sometimes a Sec
ond offender, she is placed on pro-
baton for six. months and allowed
to go home. II she is i'll. she is
sent to the hospital for treatment
before being sent home. II she is
not what is termed a probation"
case. then she is sent to the House
OF Good Shepherd or Inwcod House.
More hardened offenders are sent
to the prison or Blackwell's Island.
The drug addicts are also sent to
the hospital for eight weeks treat
ment
"I do not believe that any wom-
an who is arrested as a drug addict
is entirely responsible for her act"
says Judge Norris.
1T would be inhumsne to try
them when they arc aTraigned. and
it is the policy of the court to ad-
journ the case for eight weeks and
in the meantime give the girl the
very best possible care at our hos
pital before she goes to trial. 1t
is astonishing the difference in the
appea rance of the girls when they
return frem the hospital after treat
mcnt. They are then mentally and
physically fit to be tried.
Broad Probation System.
A broad system of probation and
follow up" work is being instituted.
Girls are being sent back to their
homes all over the United States and
reunited with their families. In 9TH
er cases where the environment is
wrong. efforts are made to have
parents move. change the girls en-
ployment, or get her away from bad
Probation officers go out and
check up the statements the girls
make to them.
Judge Norris said that "notwith-
standing the outrageous statement
made recently in the public press by
a woman, Mrs. Hortense Lersner.
that 1 was railrosding women to
Bedford Reformatory, 1 have never
committed one single girl to Bed
ford since 1 went on the bench in
October of last year: and the court
records will show that I place the
largest percentage of girls on pro-
baton. I am not at all in sympathy
with reformatory methods"
