Wilson Not Conside red.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 23-President
Wilson need not be cons idered" as
a. candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for president, William Jennings
Bryan declared in an article in his
"Commoner" printed here today.
William G. McAdoo, former secre-
tary of the treasury, "by his close re-
lationship with the president" has
seriously handicapped his chances of
securing his nomination, the statement
declared
Senator Owen and Secretary of
Agriculture Meredith deserve to be
mentioned for the nomination among
the few men available" declared
Bryan. "To be available this year
a candidate must be known to be for
woman suffrage, prohibition. and
against Wall street. By this stand
ard, Senator Owen and Secretary Mer-
edith are 100 per cent available
Compared to the hair pulling and
fighting of the republicans, the demo
cratic party presents the situation of
''everything as peaceful as a pink
tea" Bryan asserted.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23-The
'McAdoo candidacy, bearing marks OF
rough treatment and with the "irre-
yocable" brick still tied about its
neck, was back from its premature
watery grave today and meowing as
loudly as ever about the democratic
back door.
Every time it's tormentors cons1gn

friends and protectors hastily unpack
the old pulmotor, shoot little oxygen
into it and it's as good as new.
The situation regarding McAdoo
and the democratic presidential noml-
nation varies almost hourly. }. but 50
FAR It has always resolved itself back
to the position that certain of the
former cabinets strongest admirers
will take the bit in their teeth and
nominate him by main strength.
Each day the outward signs indi-
cate more and more plainly that Nc
Adoo and his personal coterie of
friends are determined that he shall
neither acquire the nomination or
have it thrust upon him. For IN
stance, Daniel c. Roper, who was to
have been drum major for the Nc
Adoo band wagon out here, has can
cellod his hotel reservations, appar-
emily accepting his former chiefs
verdict as final.
Politicians who were supporting
various of McAdoo's rivals for the
nomination outwardly are satisfied
that he is through and that any I'M
organized attempt to put him over
would fail dismally, but privately,
many of these same politicians have
1t figured thus: s
McAdoo is the most astute politf'
Can in the country. He realized that
ne would be in the same position as
General Leonard>,Wood at Chicago;
that is, that all of his opponents
would unite at the start to eliminate
him. Because of the two-thirds rule
in democratic conventions, the
chances were all in favor Of bis
rivals deadlocking the convention
against him and forcing his with

other candidates deadlock themselves,
then with the convention impasse,

convention over into landslide
All Of the foregoing, of course, is
The merest surmise on the part Of
persons who refuse to believe Nc
Adoo is sincere in his retirement
from the race but many political OBJ
servers see in it the essence Of logic,

night quietly offering even money on

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-Ihe

faces deadlock.
Leaders today declared that the
Palmer and Cox forces would control
more than four hundred votes
piece, with McAdoo not figuring, and
that a compromise between them
would be out Of the question.
With McAdoo in it making three
leaders instead of two, compromise
would more easily have been ar
ranged, it was argued.
AS a result of this situation. dark
horse talk is increasing Vice Presl-
dent Marshall, Ambassador John
Davis and Senator Robert Owen being
the most prominently mentioned.
The expected deadlock, however,
probably will not carry the conven'
ton over the week end. Leaders are
making reservation to leave San
Francisco Saturday, July 3rd.
Although McAdoo's repeated decla'
rations that he does not want his
name TO go before the convention has
caused many McAdoo supporters to
swing to other candidates, leaders
are not counting him entirely out.
Different constructions continue to be
put on his message. Some regard It
especially significant that he has not
vet fatty said he will not run even
if nominated. Friends of Senator
Robinson, Arkansas, today started a
boom for him as permanent chair

LOS ANGELES, Calf, June 23.--
Today started off with another earth
quake which caused Los Angeles and
, vicinity to tremble.
It occurred at 20 this morning and
was sufficiently strong enough to
awaken sleepers, but apparently did
no damage. 1t was not as heavy as
the shake at 1896 yesterday after
noon.
Many persons claimed to have felt
slight tremors during the night, but
there being no recording instruments
here it is impossible to authenticate
these reports If there were other
shakes, they were slight In Ingle-
wood a large proportion of the people
slept outside last night, while many
others left the town to stay with
friends in places more removed from
the disturbed center. Men, deputiZed
by the town marshal, stood guard dur
ing the night, watching chiefly for
fires. No fires occurred.
Scientists attributed the series OF
uuakes to a local slip of the Pac1hc
coast earth fault, which extends al
most the entire length of the coast
They did not look for more heavy
shakes and considered the quake per-
iod about over.
The Inglewood cemetery today pre-
sents probably the most striking sight
in the shake district. One tail monu-
ment is snapped off about four feet
from the ground. A large mausoleum
is cracked and twisted and numerous
headstones toppled over.
A private school for chGaren is
holding it's classes today in grain
field.
Many odd occurrences are coming to
light.
In the chapel of Saint Mary's acad-
emy at Inglewood. the shake broke
candles on the altar and threw
statue of St Joseph from the wall. 1t
rolled down a stairway but was not
even scratched.
At Venice, $500 worth Of kewpie
dolls were broken in concession
aires shop. Nothing else in the shop
was harmed.
Reports from Inglewood this morn
ing were that nothing untoward had
occurred during the night The work
of clearing up wreckage was started
efore daylight. Town officials sent
messages to the mayor Of Los Angeles
and the Los Angeles chamber OF COM
merce thinking them for proffered aid,
but saying Ingiewood needs no assist
ance.

Only one earthquake shock was felt

rocking Los Angeles and suburbs.
This quake was at 4:20 this morn
ing and was sufficiently heavy to
cause sleepers-numbers of whom
were taking their rest in the open
a air-to jump from their beds.
The vibrations, however, were not
sharp. the movement being slower
than previous major quakes OF the
series. Those who were on guard
duty in tho town at the time said
thew failed to find as much as tot
tering brick shaken from wall. The
