it got under way. Glass said he llved
in a section (which is relied upon TO
furnish the electoral votes but not
the candidates. 1t was also pointed
out that McAdoo's strength came
from labor and that Glass could not
hope to inherit this. The name OF
Secretary Colby was also on NUM-
Der of democratic lips and there was
squirt in talk Of John w. Davis, am
bassador to Great Britain. The Nc
Adoo withdrawal coming on the heels
Of the Wilson interview brought re-
vival of reports that President VIII
son would seek third term. TWO
democratic senator's denied that Will
son would seek third term and Ge-
clared that the reports were started
to injure Wilson. Both these sena-
tors are close to the white house
Senator Glass is slated to head the
resolutions committee on which al.
ministration hackers believed they
are assured a majority OF the mem
bers.
The Glass platform calls for ratif-
catSon of the treaty without reservn-
tions which injuries its essential IN
tegrity," condemns the republican
congress, praises Wilson. calls for a
reduction in the cost of living and

Looks For Third Term.
CHICAGO, June 19.-James Hamil-
ton Lewis, former senator from 1lli-
nois and a candidate for the demo-
cratic nominee for vice president.
today saw in William G. McAdoo's re-
fusal to run for the presidential
nomination, intimations of a third
term campaign for President Wilson.
Lewis coupled McAdoo's statement,
issued last night, with the interview
with President Wilson printed in the
New York World. His intimation
was that McAdoo received grape
vine" information that Wilson would
be a candidate. He pointed out that
in the World interview President
Wilson made no declaration that he
would not accept the nomination and
that McAdoo and Wilson would be
supported by similar elements.
Chicago democrats today called on
McAdoo to practice his preaching
that no man could refuse the nomina-
ton il it came to him unsolicited.
Twenty-one democrats here signed a
telegram addressed to McAdoo de.
iclaring, "Your personal wishes can.
not be permitted to weigh against
the welfare Of America" The tele-
gram declared, they would proceed on
the theory that mo man can refuse
he nomination. .

| An anomaly was presented III the
fact that Hoover, a candidate for
| the republican nomination, probably
would get all Of Michigan's thirty
votes on the first ballot-more than
he obtained at any time during the
| republican convention-by virtue OF
having carried the presidential pri-
