Ten of II Candidates Put Before Convention in the Nominating Speeches Yes terday-Palmer, McAdoo Favorites, Judging from Outbursts
[Republlcan A. p. Leased wlreJ

AUDITORIUM, SAN FRANCISCO, June 30-After hearing ten candidates placed in nomination for the pre5t- dency, the Democratic national conven- tion, after an eight-hour session today, recessed Until II o'clock tomorrow
 John ". Davis, ambassador to Great Britain, was the only man on the list of those for whom nominating speeches were to be made who was not reached on the days program. The candidates placed in nomination were Senator owen of Oklahoma, Attorney General Palmer, Senator Hitchcock of Nebras- ka, Homer Cummings, chairman Of the Democratic national committee; Will jam c. McAdoo, Governor Smith of New York, Governor Edwards of New Jersey, Secretary Meredith. Governor Cox of Ohio, and James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany.
 OVations for Cox, McAdoo, Palmer
 The big demonstrations of the day came with the presentation of Palmer, Cox and McAdoo. although there was a spontaneous outburst with the pres entation of Governor Smith.
 The Cox and Palmer demonstrations were fully expected and looked for, but the McAdoo nomination, coming after days of uncertainty as to wheth- CT 9 nominating speech was to be made for him or not. added an element of interest and surprise. IL was easily the loudest, longest and most tumult- ous demonstration of the lot and kept the convention in an uproar for the best part of an hour.
 Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City. who was ready to place the former sec retary of the treasury in nomination. finally decided to yield to the wishes of Mir McAdoo and not make a nonli- hating speech for him. He simply ex- plained the situation to the convention in one of the shortest speeches on record and merely announced that he presented Mir. McAdoo in nomination, fully assured that if drafted for the service of the nation, he would not refuse the nomination.

would bring to the high office of president qualities that would make the success of his administration an unfailing certainty"
 Much for the veal or woe of gen. erations to come will depend upon the leader chosen here,'' declared Mir. Por- ter "Out of turmoil and tribulations of the recent past, new conditions have arisen. old nations are passing and new ones are arising. Unsolved industrial, economic and social prob lems are pressing fast upon us for so- lution. Society everywhere appears in active ferment, and amidst all this kaleidoscopic cataclysm, America must not think herself immune. The four years just before us are certain to be crowded with events of the first mag nitude and to call for statesmanship of the very highest quality. The re- sponsibility resting upon this conven- ton is great.

been heard on this tremendously vital issue. We feel that the American peo- pie have been defrauded of a treas ured right that was always their proudest possession. and we propose to undo the wrong by the installation of a congress and a president who will protect and not destroy popular gov ernment as was witnessed in an in famous measure passed by a Repub- lican congress. We believe that this issue has been only temporarily ad- indicated and not completely and per- manently decided, and no great ques- ton ever yet was settled until it was settled right.
 "We believe that this question of prohibition, when it is put to the actual test and its hypocrisy is unfolded in all it's hideous features. will just as readily find q hearty repudiation through the same measures that thoughtlessly and wantonly moved its inception. Therein lies not only the great opportunity of the Democratic party, but the paramount supreme duty of this convention is to decide whe ther determination in our own govern mental affairs is to be denied or our inherent natural rights are to find their greatest enjoyment in the eXer- else of personal liberty.
 Much has been said about the issue of personal liberty but neither savant nor doctrinaire, philosopher nor states men, no matter how learned or eXten- sive his treatise might be, could ex- press it's import clearly or succinCtly than in the homely. yet eloquent phrase

 WASHINGTON. June 30-Business is passing through a period of read justment, and, in many instances. of depression. the ederal reserve board declared tonight in it's June review of the business and financial conditions.
 There is. however. every indication that this transition period will not last long-indeed that the turn toward new conditions has already been taken" declared the boards summary of re- ports of its agents who, taking the country as a whole, found considerable variation in business conditions.
 Reduction in retail prices begun in May became universal during June, it was said in explanation of the con- tinued large volume of retail trade. The price cutting movement, the board said. had been aided by the refusal of the public to pay high prices although the tendency of wholesale prices to maintain current levels was declared to have been a counteracting influence.
 Except for clothing and shoes, all essential commodities. including food stuffs. show little indication of reduc- tion, but luxurieS and none essentials in many lines have been distinctly cut"
 Quite generally there is a tendency to settle down to a readjustment basis and to proceed with business upon a new level of prices and demand" the board asserted. Control of credit and discrimination between non essential and speculative borrowing are produc- ing some results although these are reported as developing themselves slowly and gradually. The present price situation is unsettled and is be- ing closely watched. While some price reporting agencies show a reduction. others show increases

 SAN FRANCISCO, June 30-Seem- ingly in agreement that William G. Me Adoo has the inside track on the Dem ocratic presidential nomination tonight, attempts were being made within the inner circle of old line Democratic by the convention. The plan includes prominent consideration of Champ Clark, former speaker of the house of representatives. as a candidate.
 It was understood that efforts were being made to get in touch with MT. Clark to learn if he would accept the nomination if rendered, and that among those that the combination hoped to enlist in it's support was William J. Bryan, who encompaSsed the defeat of Clark at Baltimore in 1912 after a ma jority had voted for him and offered the nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
 Seek 5rysn's Support
 Bryan's acknowledged veto power over any candidate through the oper ation of the rule which requires two- thirds of the delegates for a 1omina- tion, made his support to the plan a factor sought by it's managers.
 Conferences among the old line lead CTS were going on actively immediately after today's session of the convention, and they made it plain in their private expressions that they were going to any possible lengths to beat EIcAdoo.
 Those forwarding the plan were using as one of their arguments for Clark as the strongest man to put Gp against McAdoo, that the party really owed nomination to the former speaker in payment for it's action in Baltimore when it deprived him of the prize after repeatedly having given him a maj majority-something which never had been done before in the history of the party.

 "All the world felt that Democracy, freedom and friendship has a new meaning in the earth.
 The American people must now de- eide whether that proud position which our soldiers and our people won shall be abandoned or whether we shall show oprseIves worthy of the inheritance we have enjoyed"

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Senator Harding, Republican presidential nom inee. will base his campaign Ion an appeal to restore party government as a constitutional substitute for personal government" The Republican candi- date made this announcement this aft ernoon after a conference with Gov ernor Coolidge, his running mate, and Chairman Hays of the Republican na- tional committee.
 Simultaneous, Governor Coolidge de- fined the nations most pressing need to be a return of public opinion toward a self-control by the people; toward a greater and overmastering desire to observe the laws.
 The conference, which opened with a breakfast at Senator Harding'S home, was the first meeting between the nominees since the Chicago convention and occupied most of the day, w1th campaign plans the principal subject Of discus ssion.
 Governor Coolidge left tonight for Boston, where he plans to remain sew eraI days before departing for short vacation before his official notification July 27.
 Says Nation Needs CooIidge's Counsel
 In his announcement of the cam paign issue he proposed to present, Senator Harding praised Governor Coolidge, whose counsel, he said, the country needed. The vice president said MT. Harding, should be more than a "mere substitute in waiting and should play big part in maintaining l friendly relations between the chief executive and the senate.
 l While various phases of the cam paign were discussed at the confer | ence. Chairman Hayes later said the question of conducting "front porch campaign had not been mentioned | Senator Harding, however, in his con ference with newspaper correspondents expressed the opinion that while there might be some difference of opinion as | to such a campaign, he believed the | country was calling for deliberate ut terance" and for that reason the ''front 1 porch'' campaign proposition, appealed to him. He added that present plans
 were tentative and were not 'unalter- able.'
