ABOARD A WARSH|P
Secretary's Convention Home
to Be New Mexico-''Biq
Men" His Only Plea.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-Secre-
tary Daniels arrived today aboard
the battleship New Mexico, flagship
of the Pacific fleet. where he will re-
tain quarters during the convention.
He called on Chairman Cummings of
the national committee and at head
quarters of the North Carolina dele
cation. His only public statement
was a plea for affirmative declara-
tions in the party platform and big
men to head the ticket.
Mr.. Daniels was accompanied from
the south by George Creel, head of the
committee on public information dur
ing the war.
tion If you can tell me whether the
people this year will vote against
something and against somebody, or
for something or somebody"
Says Congress Failed.
majority of the people had voted
affirmatively "for Wilson" in 1916, Mr..
Daniels said, and against a democratic
Congress in 1918, induced by promises
that republican Congress would re-
duce taxes and living costs and bring
quick readjustment when the war
ended.
"The Congress failed to keep every
promise made in 1915" he added, "and
the Chicago platform presents not
even single clean cut, explicit plan
for any constructive policy"
The democratic convention" Dan
iels said, needs to bear in mind that
while in 1918 the majority voted
against something, they can be won
this year only by constructive and
definite program for Something, and
that something must appeal to the
sense of justice and the national re-
solve that the fruits of the war
against war shall not be lost. Our
declarations must be affirmative and
must appeal to the aspirations of men
and women who believe in American n
idealism and in America living up to
it's responsibilities and obligation
Wants Short. Ringing Platform.
II would like to see a short plat
form, so clear and ringing that no
casuist would place two interpreta-
tions upon any deliverance, and l be-
1ieve the convention will give us such
a platform and name candidates
whose records will be guarantees of
performance"
Regarding the prohibition-e enforce
ment discussion, Mr. Daniels said that
order 99," the Navy order, which
carried prohibition into the ward
rooms and shore stations of the serv-
ice, still expressed his views.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 26 tby the
Associated Press) Secretary Meredith

cratic nomination for President. He
has been among those for whom NOM
ination work was in progress at the
convention, and plans for presenting his
name to the convention had been made.
The Secretary's formal statements did
not say whether these plans had been
Cancelled.
Joint headquarters for Meredith and
former Ambassador Gerard, also a con-
tender for the nomination, had been
opened here. Their names were MIXED
in the sign announcing the WHEREABOUTS
of workers for the twin boom.

tradition of the party-unbroken un-
til 1912-that the man who gets a
majority gets the necessary two

Ignore, McAdoo's Declaration.
There are out-and-out McAdoo del
egates who disregard wholly the for
mer Secretary's declaration that he
does not wish his name to be pre-
sented. and claim that the convention
will need to take only a few ballots
to topple it's majority into their
column. The claims of adherents of
other candidates are full of conf
dence and hope.
There is the same talk of deadlock
and compromise candidate that was
heard at the republican convention.
In the compromise talk among the
gathering delegates McAdoo general
ly is brought out in the end His
supporters. seeing majority for
neither Palmer nor Cox, feel that in
such an emergency the former Sec
retary would be drafted" and could
not decline to make the race.
The twenty-four hours preceding
the assembling of the convention,
however, will produce something
more definite. Delegations will be
caucusing and making their first and
second choices and there will be in
dications of which way sentiment is
turning.
At the moCent however. attention
is centeing largely on Mr.. Bryan and
the delegates are wondering how
much of an old-time rumpus he may
kick up. Mr.. Bryan himself is not
oblivious to this speculation, and is
saying nothing.

PLAN TOCAPTURE
CONVENTION POSTS
Administration Choices for
Executive Positions to
Meet Opposition.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26 (by the
Associated Press).-A movement to
upset administration choices for i'm
portant executive positions in the ma
tional convention attracted much at
tention among delegates today, but
apparently did not get beyond the
nebulous stage.
The chairmanship of the resolutions
committee, which will frame the plat
form, and the permanent chairman
ship of the convention itself were
the places for which it was said the
principal contests might be waged.
Senator Walsh of Montana was urged
for both of these places, and those
who we're backing him seemed unable
to get together on a plan to concen-
trate on either position.
Bryan Backing Walsh.
William J. Bryan indorsed Senator
Walsh several days ago for the per-
manent chairmanship, for which the
administration forces now are expect
ed to put forward Senator Robinson
of Arkansas. The Montana senator, it
was said. might have support for that
place from western delegations and
from some of the fasteners who are
not particularly friendly to the ad-
ministration.
A group of western delegates in CO.
operation with some western senators
seemed to constitute Senator Waish's s
principal support for craftsmanship of
the resolutions committee, a post for
which Senator Glass of Virginia is
the choice of the administration
leaders.
Glass Presidents Choice.
Senator Glass commonly is regarded
among the delegates here as the per-
sonal choice of President Wilson,
with whom he conferred just before
he left Washington. He also is the
author of the Virginia platform, in
dorsed by the President as a model
for the party.
Senator Walsh was a consi stent adj
ministration supporter during the
first league of nations fight in the
Senate, but on the. second ratification
vote he left the lead of the President
and supported ratification with the
republican provisions

DRY PLANK URGED
BY BAPTIST CLERGY
Telegram to Democrats, Ad-
dressed Care W. J. Bryan
Also Pleads V0Istead Act,

BUFFALO. N. Y, June IS (by the
Associated Press).-The Northern
Baptist convention today authorized
the sending of telegram to the DEM
ocratic national convention in San
Francisco protesting against the in
clusion of a wet plank in the party
platform. The authorizing resolution
instructed the secretary to send the
,message to the convention lin care of
William j. Bryan"
The message read:
THE Northern Baptist convention,
with 1000 members present, repre-
senting a million and half communi-
cants, strongly and hopefully call
tom to make in their platform an un-
equfyocal declaration for the enforce
ment. of the eighteenth amendment to
the Constitution and the Volstead act
of Congress"
The Rev. Robert Jones of Bueyrus
Ohio. moved that a written copy of
the resolution previously adopted by
the convention bearing upon the
friendly relationship of this country
with Great Britain be sent to David
Lloyd George, prime minister of Great
Britain. The convention voted to
ca BILE it.
Unanimity on every resolution
marked tine days session. A report
that a stand would be taken by con-
servative delegates against the boa rd
of promotion proved groundIess, no
objection being offered to the board s
budget of 100000 for the coming
years work.
Approval also was given unanimous
ly to a budget of upward of 10000
900 to carry on. the work of the vari-
Gus societies and boards of the con-
vention for the year, including the
expenditures for educational and mis-
Sionary work.

N. Y. DELEGATES MEET.
Adjourn Without Transacting ANY
Business.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 2s.-The
New York delegation met today, but
adjourned until tomorrow night with
Smith. chairman of the delegation,
said the postponement was due to the
non n-arrival of a number of delegates
from upstate districts.
At tomorrow nights meeting it is
planned to re-elect Norman E. Mack
as the member of the democratic ma
tional committee, and to assign w.
Bourke Cochran to the committee on
resolutions.
Enthusiasm was aroused by the
reading of a resolution adopted by the
French Democratic Club of New York
city urging the delegation to work for
the nomination of Gov. Smith as the
presidential candidate.

be taken as nothing more nor less
than an effort to exclude from the
councils of the party a man whose
democracy is unchallenged and un-
questioned. solely upon the ground
that in the United States Senate, act
ing under his oath of Office, he op-
posed the league of nations"
The Missouri senator said he will
carry the case before the credentials
committee, hoping and expecting that
different spirit will prevail there.
Senator Reed said he did not seek
the seat in the convention. Il was
elected in the first instance during
my absence in Washington" he said
land felt that j could do nothing less
than respond to the request of the
largest democratic district in the
United States. The objection to my
credentials was purely technical No
one was here claiming the seat; in
deed. the alternate refused to take
the seat to which / had been elected,
and sent me proxy authorizing me
to take his place"
Continuing. Senator Reed said: The
unfortunate part of il is that if the
impression gets abroad that men ought
to be excluded from participation in
the democratic councils because they
are not for the league of nations as
Mr.. Wilson delivered il, then large
percentage of the democratic party
throughout the nation may feel that
they are in like manner to be ex-
cluded
Says Claim Is "Absurd."
II similar policy is to be pursued
of excluding those who do not agree
with everything the machine of the
party desires, it might result in the
exclusion of a man because he was a
wet or because he was d dry or be-
cause he was in favor of woman suf-
frage or against it. The result would
be minority party.
ANY claim that | was rejected be-
cause of any technicality arising
over the character of my credentials
sinks into absurdity in view of the
fact that the national committee
seated two delegates from the Pan
anna Canal zone merely because they
came claiming to represent democrats
of the zone who had assembled on
their own motion. without any call or
authority from the national commit
tee.
Having done this act of Justice
TO the democrats who were in the
Canal Zone. and not represented
having disregarded all technicalities,
the committee proceeded to deny me
seat, although I came as the un-
disputed representative of a district
containing 1000 white inhabitants $
and which regularly gives a majority
without which the democratic party
cannot hope to carry the state of
Missouri"
