Suspect subtle Sam.

Thomas B. Love. National Committee
man from Texas, who has been very de-
termined in his statements that the con-
vention should nominate McAdoo, was
one of the first men that Gihboney
sought a conference with to-day. 1t is
understood that Gibboney's mission Is
still all pre-convention booming and TO
urge that the delegates make their
choice with the understanding that Nc
Adoo stands 'by his statements in the
Milledgeville letter" rightly or wrongly.
Many people here suspect that very
subtle game is being played in MoAdoo's
interest And there are few that
think the Presidents silence has to DO
with the Presidents desire to see his
| Eon-In-law nominated. In the general
survey OF the curious situation two
facts, aside from the convention prob
lens themselves. are very apparent. One
is that the first flush Of Democratic
exultation over the nomination of Har-
ding at Chicago 10 subsiding. The talk
of week ago that Harding would be
easy to beat his disappeared. II has
been succeeded by the fear on the part
of the shrewder of the men of the party
that Harding was about the best can
didate the Republicans could have named
in the present state OF things.
The other is that the Democratic party
would be the big sufferer II the third
party movement becomes serious. As d
matter OF fact, the possibility Of a third
party which would appeal to the vets.
to the Irish vote and to radical labor is
the biggest worry the Democratic chief
tains here are laboring under. A good
many Of the chieftains enjoyed them
/, selves at Chicago while the Republicans
were wrestling with party problems. but
they are not lanughing so gayly nova
days.

BY the time Peary reached civiliIa-
ton. however. he had decided upon
still another trip. With the special
ly designed ship Roosevelt Peary
drove further into the frozen ocean
than navigator had ever been before
On foot he advanced until his record
for this seventh trip stood at see.
where starvation and cold again
checked the party.
Started Final Trip at 81.
The explorer was 80 years old
when In July 1905. he set out on his
eighth and successful invasion Of the
polar region.
Captain Bartlett. the veteran navi-
gator for Peary, shouted TO Colonel
Roosevelt, as the ship was leaving its
wharf at New York Its the Pole OF
bust this time. Mr.. President"
The method Of attacking the Pole
was in five detachments. pushing
north in the manner Of telescope.
At the Eighty-eighth parallel Peary
parted with Captain Bartlett. IN
charge o. the fourth detachment. and
he with one member 81 his crew and
four Eskimos made the final dash.
They covered the 1856 miles in FIVE
days.
Thirty hours from April 6 to :
were spent az and around the Pole-a
great tract Of frozen ea-none Of
the land which DIR. Cook reported.
The weather was cloudless and flaw
less. The temperature ranged from
33 below 10 - below Where open
places permitted soundings 5000 feet

Congress Voted Its Thanks.
when he got back 20 civilization
Pcary was surprised To find such a
fierce controversy raging over him
and his rival. Doctor Cook. but he
easily established his claim before
scientific bodies throughout the world.
He was raised TO the rank Of Rear
Admiral Of the United States Navy
and retired on pay, Congress voted
him its thanks in special act and
gold medals. decorations and honors
Of many kinds were showered upon
him.
4 scientific and popular narrative
Of his success he wove into a book
called The North Pole. while his
