Wilson Message Puzzles.
1t had previously been announced
that former Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, despite the persistent urg-
ing of many friends who have been
grooming him for the Presidency. has
stated fatty that. he will not attend.
He will be many miles from Wash
ington tomorrow night. he said.
The most important announcement
concerning arrangements for the oc-
casion from Democratic headquarters
is a statement from Chairman Homer
S. Cummings to the effect that an
important message will be read from
President Wilson at both dinners by
the presiding officers. What the pur-
port of this message will be is causing
no little speculation among members
of both parties.
A vanguard of twelve committee
men from various States had reach
ed Washington yesterday morning.

cago. Kansas City. San Francisco,
Indianapolis. Cincinnati and Cleve-

to stand the best chance of being
chosen, with San Francisco, despite
its location, a close second. The
fact that San Francisco is being
favorably considered as a conven-
ton site is attributed by some COM
mitteemen to a desire for a change.
Many of the committeeman frankly
admit that the Frisco" trip would
make a nice junket. while the Cali

Fred W. Fleming heads the Kansas
City delegation, which arrived Mon
day night. The San Francisco dele

PIeases, But 1t Does Not
Quite Satisfy Senator Borah
Lowden's Stand on League

Senator Borah yesterday reiterated
his purpose to force the peace treaty
to become an issue In the next Pres
idential campaign. He made this
statement in commenting upon the
answer of Governor Frank o. Low
demanding to know where the gov
ernor stood on the treaty question.
The Senator was highly pleased
with the tone OF Governor Lowdens
reply. but expressed the opinion that
the governor had sidestepped the
real issue in stating that he favored
ratification of the treaty with reser-
vations. The real issue, Senator Bo-
rah asserted, is not ratification. but
the question of whether or not the
United States should enter the
league Of nations at all without the
consent OF the people.
Senator Borah said:
ut has not been my purpose to
enter into a debate with the Pres
idential candidates. I simply desire
their views; the debate will come
later when the primaries for dele
gates to the national convention are
at hand. In my opinion, Governor
Dowden VIII md II necessary 10
modify his views in some particu-
lars
He says: I do not believe the
time has come when we should aban-
don the policy of no entangling al
fances.' That is clear and frank.
but he also says that he favors rat
ification with the Lodge reservations.
The Lodge reservations do not pur-
port in any respect to preserve the
historical American policy of no en-
tangling alliences. There is no res
ervation or proposed reservation
which serves that policy. There is
a reservation which proposes to pre-
serve the Monroe doctrine. 1t Is inn
possible IL We plunge into the af-
fairs of Europe, but there Is no res
ervation which purports to keep us
out of the entangling turmoils and
conflicts of Europe.
That is where those opposed to
the league in any form and the res
ervationists part company. There Is
the parting or the ways; and that
is the fundamental issue which will
be brought in the campaign"
