Vice President Gives Hoosier
Delegates Consent to
Fight for Him.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 29SThe In
diana delegation has decided to present
Vice President Marshall's name to the
convention. Mr.. Marshall. in a speech
to the Hoosier delegates, said that
not wish to make the fight even with
assurances of nomination, but desired
to aid state and national democracy.
Mr.. Marshall said:
II have told Senator Taggart and
Gov. Ralston and told them truthfully
that had no desire to be nominated
for the presidency; that my one polit-
ical desire was to restore Indiana to
the democratic column; that ! was
not sufficiently conversant with the
situation in Indiana to know what
would best aid in bringing about that
result. said IL Gov. Ralston desires
the nomination for Vice President l
would gladly go down the line for
him. Then l said il 1t would help the
democratic cause in Indiana, the del
egates had my permission to vote for
me in the convention for President.
Does Not Want to Make Race.

are free to do as you please. with
the one proviso. that you are DONG

my solicitation"
FORMER senator Salisbury Of Della
ware. came out for Vice President Mar
shall as the most available man for the
presidential nomination. He predicted
deadlock-McAdoo. Cox and Palmer:
I'm that event, he said. the Vice
President occupies a position OF great
advantage owing to his official position
and his well known merit as cam,
paigner and a public official. He would
make an admirable compromise candi-
date, and in case Of tie-up l think
his chances will prove to be equal to the
best"
Senator Salisbury said the Vice Pres
ident would be placed in nomination and
his name kept before the convention to
the end of the baaloting.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.-wiIliam
Gibbs McAdoo's wish that his name shall
not be placed in nomination at the dem
ocratic convention will be respected. His
friends and followers here have agreed
to defer that much to the former Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. but they insist
upon voting for him when the balloting
begins.
DIR. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City,
who was originally selected to make the
nominating speech, has finally been per-
suaded not to do so.
This completes one Of the most ex-
traordinary chapters in pre-conventiOn
politics. For the man who is evidently
most desired by the body of delegates to
take the presidential nomination has
kept his hands absolutely of the con-
vention, and has refused to permit his
closest friends even to go through the
brief formalities which would put him
alongside active candidates.
OF course there will be skeptics who
will always doubt not merely the sin
certify of the McAdoo men here. but who
will believe there is some sort Of collu-
sion between the man whose name is on
every lip here and the active workers fol
his nomination.
Has Sent No Messages.
The writer has just made an exhaust
i've investigation of the McAdoo situa-
ton, and. after several days of inquiry
among the men who are most active in
advancing the name of Mr.. McAdoo for
the presidency, these facts stand on,
conspicuously:
1-McAdoo has not sent single
message to any delegate or leader
here encouraging activity in his be.
half. Nor has he expressed his views
on any questions being considered Al
this convention. either of strategy o.
platform policy. He has literally KEEP

Nobody outside Of San Francisco

Efforts to draw Daniel c. Roper, Nc
Adoo's chief political adviser, into
convention matters has proven futile
3-No message Of any kind, oral o.
written, has come from the White
House, either from Secretary Tumulty
or President Wilson, or any one IL

rectly, with President Wilson, bearing
in the remotest degree upon candi

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s.-Actual
preparation of the democratic plat.
form, delegated to a subcommittee OF
nine under administration leadership
waited today while the platform com.
mittee of fifty-three kept open house
to hear Anal suggestions and argu.
ments from many sources.
The subcommittee appointed by
Chairman Glass to draft the platform
follows:
Senator Glass. chairman: Senate,
Walsh. Montana: Vance Mccormick
Pennsylvania; Secretary Colby: M. NJ
Crane. Texas; Senator Mcclellan
Tennessee. Horace Hawkins. Colorado
William r. Pattengal, Maine. and
George H. Hodges. Kansas.
Labor. liquor and the Irish question
all subjects Of disagreement among
party leaders, were up for debate al
the committees public hearings. Be.
sides there were many speakers on is.
sues Of lesser controversy, and there
seemed little prospect that the long
list could be finished until late in the
day.
Meantime, as observers studied the
| makeup of the subcommittee, it be.
came more apparent that the real con.
test over the platform would come
after the subcommittee report had been
! laid before the full committee for re.
view.
T Bryan May Be Silent.
William ]. Bryan, omitted by the
administration leaders from member
ship on the subcommittee, said he prob
ably would not present his planks on
other subjects for subcommittee con-
Sideration at ALL
Selected by Senator Glass of Vir-
ginia, after he had been unanimously
chosen chairman of the platform CON-
mittee, the subcommittee was ex-
pected to show a majority of admin
istratfon supporters and a majority
also against inclusion Of any wet
plank in the platform.
Senator Glass, understood to be
President Wilson's own choice to head
the committee, made his selections
after long conference with Secre-
tary Colby of the State Department
a member Of the committee from the
District of Columbia, and the admin
istration manager on the floor Of the
convention. s..
Others Overlooked.
Secretary Colby was one of those
given membership on the subcommit-
tee. Besides Mr.. Bryan. Senator Walsh
of Massa who advocates a
treaty plank out of accord with ad-
ministration views: w. Bourke Cock
ran of New York, a leader in the fight
for Irish recognition. and James R
Nugent of New Jersey. who wants a
wet plank. were left off the list OF
nine.
In the public session today a dele

was granted a hearing on the Irish
recognition proposal and representa-
tives of the Anti-Saloon League were
among those to appear on the prohi-
bition issue. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor. was granted a hearing on the
requests OF organized labor.

to be a candidate because of ill-health
is not true. 1t was at first credited BY
this correspondent and other people
here because of the abruptness of the
McAdoo announcement and because
men high in the councils of the party
expressed belief that McAdoo was sufy
fering from tuberculosis of the throatN,
The writer is convinced that the story
is wholly wrong and that no matter
whether McAdoo is nominated or de-
feated here. any unjust impression
which the publication of the rumar
may have given should be erased from
the minds OF readers who like fair
play in politics. Persons in a much
better position to know than those
who originally vouched for the story
have assured the writer in unQues-
toned ways that McAdoo is in good
health and that his reason for declin-
ing the nomination has nothing what
soevef to do with physical fitness.
Cannot Check AdmirinE Friends.
The fact is that Mr.. McAdoo couldn't
stop his admiring and almost fanati-
cally loyal friends in this convention
| from trying to nominate him even IL he
issued a dozen statements They sim-
ply recognize him as the best candidate
available and are absolutely sure he
will serve If drafted. Although Thomas
b. Love, national committeeman from
Texas. issued a statement saying he
was sure McAdoo would accept II
named. there is absolutely nothing TO
show that Love received any such as
surance from McAdoo since this CON-
vention began. but that it was merely
a personal opinion Of Mr. Love. based
on Mr.. McAdoo's statement at the time
of the Georgia primaries several weeks
ago, to the effect that no man should
refuse a presidential nomination.
1t all sounds like a game and there
will be those who will say 1t il incredi-
BILE, but the odd part OF it is that II Is
| true that both President Wilson and Mr..
McAdoo are not influencing the selection
| Of candidates by the we'll known under
| ground methods Of politics or any other
! way. II McAdoo is named. and II looks
as il he will be, 1t will be because the
bulk Of the delegates here believe in the
| Wilson policies and want a candidate
/ who stands for them 1t win not b
because Mr.. McAdoo happened to marry
the Presidents youngest daughter two

cause he has shown sympathy with the
wage-earner and has administered the

| ing the war in a way that two-thirds
Of the delegates believe flts him for the
