EXCITING Times IN
FRISCO CONVENTION
Platform Builders Having
Much Trouble-Nomi-
nee In Doubt

AS we closed yesterday evening,
and at press hour, IL was apparent
that the committee on platform build
ing were having much trouble with
three proposed boards in that struc-
ture, viz: The so-called wet plank,
the Irish question and the League of
Nations. The Committee was work
ing behind locked doors with all
spectators and others being kept at
the respectable distance of so feet.
The prospects appeared to be good
for the nomination of most any one
of half dozen or more, with McAdoo
Palmer and Cox as the three out
front. Lots of Wilson talk is afloat
and Homer S. Cummings. being
touted as a likable darkhorse. In
New York the President was favored
in the betting to land the one big
plum to be dished out by the con-
vention.
The Subcommittee having in
charge the drafting OF the tentative
platform killed prohibition enforce
ment resolution by a vote of to 4.
Up to the time of balloting on the
various candidates, 1t was distinct
ly Wilson convention, his hand has
been seen in most every act worthy
of note. The ousting of Senator
Reed, of Missouri and the delegation
from Georgia headed by Smith and
Watson was smoothly handled by
administration leaders and followers.
In fact Wilson has six or seven cabi-
net officers and representatives upon
the ground, to say nothing of the ex-
members of his cabinet and the le-
gion of Federal officeholders. We
wish we could give the happenings
up to this morning but news of the
conventions doings of yesterday was
impossible of attainment

$500 HAUL MADE
BY TRAIN BANDITS

Augusta. Ca, June 3O-An express
car on the Charleston & Western
Carolina Railroad was reported rob-
bed near here early today by bandits
who gagged and bound an express
messenger and an armed guard and
made away with s5s.725, constituting
the payroll for the marines at the
Paris Island, S. c. station.
The money had been expressed un-
der guard from Atlanta and was
transferred here to the Charleston &
Western Carolina train which left
Augusta at 5:15 a. m. When a few
miles out Of the city in the Savannah
river bottom, 1t is claimed, the hold
up men entered the express car, ov-
empowered the messenger, Il. r. Der
rick, and the armed guard, w. M.
Roberts, and then threw the safe
containing the money out Of the door.
The robbery was not discovered
until about thirty minutes later after
the train had crossed to the South
Carolina side of the river. One Of
the train crew passed through the
car and found the express man and
the guard bound and gagged.
Officers are searching the river
swamps.

SCHOOLS CONSOLIDATED

The special election held in Oak
Grove, Graham and CROMWELL Com
mon School districts last Saturday
upon the question of consolidation,
levying a special tax of so cents per-
haps. and the transportation of pu-
pills living at remote distance from
the site of the proposed school build
ing resulted in victory for the PROPOSE
tion of about three to one.
1t is presumed that the project will
be put in operation during the com,
ing school year and as this first at
tempt meets with success or reverses
the minds of patrons in many other
districts in the County will be made
up upon the advisability of CONSOLE
dalton of other schools.

WILSON YIELDS
BLOODY CUDGEL
Reed And Georgia Delegates
Get Boot-Not a Chance
To Stay
(Courier-Journal.)


San Francisco, June z9.-Senator
James A. Reed, Missouri, chief Demo-
cratic opponent of the League of Ma
tions, and the Smith Watson ant
league faction of the Georgia Democ-
! racy went up against the Wilson or
ganization again today after having
been thrown off the roll of delegates
was submitted to the National Con-
vention, and this time they have been
flattened out completely.
1t was the Administrations
ed Committee on Credentials, to
which Mr.. Reed and the anti-Wilson
faction of Georgia made their Sec
ond appeal, but that committee, after
hearings which were little better than
a joke, voted to unseat them.
The Credentials. Committees report
was submitted to the National Com
vention this afternoon and adopted
Reed Loses 80 to o.
In the case of Mr.. Reed the vote
in the committee, during the early
hours this morning, was 95 to Q
against him. The delegates from
Georgia representing Senator Hoke
Smith and Tom Watson were ordered
unseated by vote of AZ to 4, and
by the same motion the twenty-eight
Georgia delegates who favored the
nomination of Attorney General Pal
mer and the Wilson League of Ma
lions were ordered to be seated.
Arguments of the Administration
forces against. Mr.. Reed and the
Smith Watson delegation were thin
ly disguised appeal to the committee
to throw out of the convention any
contested delegation which was not
favorable to the Wilson policies.
Legal technicalities were discussed
at some length, but everybody rec
cgnized that blind adherena to the
League of Nations was the test that
was being applied in both instances.
Arthur Lucas and several of the
ousted Georgia delegates declared
the action Of the Credentials Com
mittee was a severe blow to the
Democratic party in Georgia In view
of the fact that the Smith-Watson
delegation had polled two thirds OF
the popular vote.
IT have no doubt that the high
handed methods that have been en-
ployed tn throw us out Of this con-
ventioa ard thwart tn, will of the
majority of the Democrats of Georgia
will have a tendency to drive many
good Democrats in our State into the
Republican party this year." said Mr..
Lucas.
May Cost rarty State.
Mr.. Reed has decided not to carry
his fight any further in the conven-
ton He realizes, like the Georgia
men, that the ADMINISTRATOR big
stick is too powerfully welded at
this time to be withstood, and he will
abide by the results for the present.
His spokesman before the Creden-
tials Committee, in the early hours
of the morning, asserted with great
emphasis that the unseating of Mr..
Reed night mean the loss of more to
the Democratic party this year, be-
cause of the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict, which unanimously sent him to
the convention, was by far the strong
est Democratic district in the State
and was absolutely necessary to the
Democratic victory.
