SAY TABOO EXECUTED
 KEENEST STRATEGY
(By United Press)

New York, June 22.-Some political writers profess to see in the state ment of w. c. McAdoo one of the consummate pieces of political strat- egy shown in either party. By plac- ing himself as non-receptive can dldate, these writers believe MT. Me Adoo has immeasurably strengthened his already strong position, and that he can now count almost a certainty a landslide toward his candidacy when his name is presented at San Francisco.
 Well informed politicians do not credit implications that his statement and the interview given the New York World by President Wilson are evi- dences of collusion, by which Mr McAdoo withdrew his name to make way for President Wilson. To the contrary, it is held that Mr McAdoo has freed himself of any charge that President Wilson's influence has been used to help him, and at the same time has placed himself in the strong est possible position as a candidate.

 TOF0RM PLAN
 OF CAMP PA|CN
(By United Press)

San Francisco, June 22.-Indca- tlons as the Democratic hosts com mence to gather are that Candidates Row" will be the scene of as much activity as during the Republican convention at Chicago. All candi- dates for the nomination will have their convention headquarters, and their packers will work ceaselessly in the interest of their favorites.
 Attorney General Palmer apparent ly will take the lead in staging spec tacular demonstrations to attract the crowds to his candidacy. His boost CTS are planning a prolonged demon- stration when his name is presented to the convention by John H. Bigelow of Pennsylvania. Backers of the at torney general claim more than 800 votes already pledged on the first ballot, and predict showing of such strength that a landslide will develop. Under the two-thirds majority rule, FPS votes will be necessary to a choice by the convention.
 Until Vim. J. Bryan arrives, oppo- sition to General Palmer will not be manifested, it was said today. MT. MT. Bryan is expected to lead the fight the dry forces will make against can- didates favored by the Wilson admin istration and especially General Pal mer and Senator Hitchcock. The struggle for control of Nebraska Democrats, long continued between MT. Bryan and Senator Hitchcock, is expected to find it's way on to the floor of the convention.
 Another administration friend said to be in line for MT. Bryan's oppo- sition is Homer s. Cummings, chair man of the national committee, and for whom boom for president is un- der way. Political observers say that the candidacy of MT. Cummings would meet the open enmity of MT. Bryan should it reach considerable size.
 Friends of W. G. McAdoo are as yet undecided whether to keep his name from the convention or to go ahead on the chance that he may ac- cept.
