The preponderance of sentiment among
the delegates in favor Of straightforward
Endorsement of Wilson and his teaching
as exemplifed in the opening session has
forced a reluctant Tammany into line aud
the masterful harmony speech of Bourke
Cochran was at once a splendid eulogy of
Wilson and a notice 70 democracy that

AWAKENED OTHERS
TO REAL FACTS.
In what Judge Dan Link of Auburn
declared was the only spontaneous DEM.
onstration of the day. the delegates gave
voice to their real sentiments when
Burris jenkins told the convention Me-
Adoo would not refuse to make the race
The demonstration awakened the man
ayers of all candidates to the fact that
there is an overwhelming sentiment in
Frisco, and that sentiment is all for the
former secretary of the treasury.
Its echoes had hardly ceased before the,
few ''antis,' lead by the Hearst element,
were planning to unite in opposition to
McAdoo rather than to nominate an
other.
Opponents Of McAdoo claimed ability
TO hold 452 votes from him.
They included in their lists ninety
from New York, where MeAdoo managers
were assured of at least thirty five with
the breaking of the unit rule.
They included thirty from Indiana,
when twentyone are known to be wait
ing for a chance 10 help AieAdoo.
They included all of Illinois fifty
eight, when that delegation il fighting
in its own ranks to go in a body to
McAdoo.
They overlooked the Meredith controls
of Iowa. where twenty-six votes are
awaiting McAdoo.

The only hope of the anti -McAdooo
forces now lies in railying the field
about one man. and there Is no one man
big enough for the task.
Every effort is being made to start a
stampede for some other candidate,
but the delegates viii not stampede
Thomas r. Marshall has arranged tes

cepted by Indiana delegates as evil

striking him.
Cox managers are working hard to get
Indianas vote on the second ballot and
may succeed as It is regarded as good
politics to help Cox in a fight against
Palmer
But all this preliminary jockeying is
merely intended to make it easier for
McAdoo to obtain the required two
thirds and there was not man in tho
Indiana delegation who did not agree
that eventually the entire thirty would
be lined up with McAdoo, perhaps in
time to make the states vote the vote
