REEDS FRIENDS vENeEFuL,
Say His State Will Help q. o. p
Nominees.

Kansas City. July 1.-Refusal OF
the democratic convention at San
Francisco to seat Senator James A.
Reed, Of this state. was regarded by
some of the local democrats as a
sign that the republicans would win
the state in November.
This is the widest breach ever
opened in the state" democratic
leader said. Reed will be avenged
and 1t will cost us the state ticket to
do 1t. 1t will not interfere with our
plans for the county ticket, but the
state certainly will be affected and
possibly the national ticket"
Republican leaders considered the
rejection of Reed as profitable to
them and estimated that approxi-
mately four-fifths of the Jackson
county democrats will "go republi-
can" on the state ticket this fall.
The activities Of Mrs. w. w.
Martin, delegate from Cape Girar-
deau, Mo-, against Senator Reed in
censed many women Of the democ-
ratio party in Kansas City.
These women say Mrs. Marr,u rep
resents a district that it strongly
republican.
Mrs. Martin has her hands fun at
home" a leader among the democrat
tc women Of Kansas City explained.
The Fifth district was satisfied with
Reed and needed him to help put
over the tickets In the fall election
Mrs. Martin has been misinformed,
as her work before the credentials
committee showed"
In the face Of questions and sug-
gestions as to how the Fifth district
could best show its displeasure, min
or party leaders in the absence of
Tom Dendergast and Joe Shannon,
were not disposed to decide.
What will be the effect of the
treatment accorded Reed and Shan
non on the floor Of the convention 2"
one minor chief was asked.
Better ask Reed and Shannon" he
retorted. They'll tell us, anyway"
Another took up the discussion:
"You know what'll happen They
can't slap Jim and Joe in the face
and get away with 1t. Wait until they
count the ballots for governor next
November"

will not oppose him openly.
A break to Mc4Adoo, his supporters
say. will begin to come after the
second or third ballot, when the
favorite sons have been eliminated.
McAdoo's friends want to force
continuous balloting, once it starts,
but they expect the Cox adherents,
will oppose it.
Delegates at Sea.
Reaction from the scenes of yes
terelay had thrown the delegates lin
to a maze Of speculation and gossip
on what would he said for the de-
mocracy on the league of nations, the
irish question, the labor problem and
the prohibition issues. Talk on the
presidential nominee was mixed with
current Of discussion as to the yic,,
presidency. Platform Developments
undoubtedly will Influence that ques.
tion, but discussion turned toward
picking running mate for McAdoo
should he be drafted for service.
The name OF Joseph A. Davies,
former representative in congress-
from Wisconsin and first chairman OF
the federal trade commission, was
suggested for a McAdoo ticket, as
was that OF Secretary Meredith.
Many Mentioned For Second Place.
The name of Victor Murdoch, OF
Nebraska, a leader in the progressive
revolt in congress- which opened the
way for republican disaster in 1912,
also bobbed up.
The discussion Of second place with
Mc4Adoo continued to emphasize the
name OF Governor Cox. At Cox head
quarters whispers; that the Ohio gov
ernor was prepared to accept Sec
ond- place nomination, were present
ed. In fact. it was said among Ohio
delegates, that Cox's adherents were
more likely t6 he found allied with
Palmer delegates to block McAdoo
drift In the voting.
Another night Of maneuvering and
bidding for support among campaign
managers promises to intervene be-
fore the balloting clarifies the situa-
tion and sets at rest claims and
counter claims ON the strength of
the candidate.
