San Francisco, July 1.-McAdoo on
the fifth or sixth ballot is the fore
cast now made at San Francisco
with/the bravest appearance Of con-
fidence. It is based on the inability
of the allied McAdoos opposition to
unite upon a candidate capable of
overthrowing Woodrow Wilson's
son-in-law.
Incessantly for the past "a hours
the quest for an alternative nom
inee has been in progress. It
dragged through the weary hours Of

day. Every possible and impossible
kind of combination was trotted out.

situation is like the one that pre-
ceded the selection of Senator
Harding by the Senatorial leaders
at Chicago. with the important ex-
ception that they discovered a

JULY FOURTH,
FRENCH FETE
Celebrated in Sympathy

Says Millerand.
By wYTHE WILLIAMS.


(washington Hersld-Public Ledger
Service. Special Cable Dispatch.)
Paris. July 1.-Just before leav-
ing this afternoon for the Brussels
and Spa continuation of the peace
conference. Premier Millerand gave
an exclusive statement on the sub
ject of Franco-American relations
based on the approaching anni-
versary of Independence Day. He
said:
The French nation is becoming
more and more in the habit of cele-
brating with the American people
the date Of July Fourth. Thus your
national fete- becomes q prelude to
our fourteenth Of July. Just as in
the past your battle for inde-
pendence preceded our fight for lib
erty. SO today your great ami
versary precedes our own. The
great war that united us in the
same cause suddenly revealed to
the French >populace as to the
democracy the fact that
we are very like one another. The
dawn OF this consciousness of pro-
found solidarity was q great good
fortune for the two peoples.

Irish Not Appeased
The Irish plank, approved BY
the committee on resolutions aftef
an intense fight, was satisfactory
only to the moderate group Of
Irish sympathizers.
1t was wholly unacceptable to
the radicals led by Eamou dc
and Frank P. Walsh, wha
wanted fiat recognition of the
Irish Republic" That portion Of
the original platform committee
plank declaring that the Americas
delegates to the league of nations
would bring the case of ireland to
the attention of the league, was
eliminated at the request of the
Irish, leaving the plank a simple
statement of American sympathy
with Ireland and a promise to
further Irish freedom in every
pOSSlDtC manner.

been settled by the resolutions conn

mittee .embodying an unqualified

was fighting to have that state
ment stricken from the platform.
although he lacked the optimism to
hope for insertion Of a substitute

Previous to its consideration of
the bonus issue the resolutions
committee, after sharp conflict at
almost every turn, overturned the
action of the administration plat

tant particulars. The full commit
tee voted against acceptance of the
Armenian mandate, as indorsed by

clared for ratification of the woman

A GOOD APPOINTMENT,

The Sentinel is pleased to learn
Of the appointment of its old
friend. Mr.. H. H. Gillespie, to
the position Of Levee Inspector
for Concordia. the place lately
filed by the late Iamented Chas.
P. Beard. Mr.. Gillespie is recog-
nized as a most successful plan
ter. He has had charge of some
of the largest plantations in this
parish. and only recently lost
out in this line through the sale
OF the place he was managing.
That he will as carefully look
after the levees, as he has the
interests Of the owners of the
plantations he has had in CHARGE
goes without the saying, and
the Sentinel congratulates the
Board on having made such an
excellent appointment.
