STILL IN RUNNING
McAdoo Is Strongest, But
Doubtful II He Can Win
TWo.thirds Majority.
Continued from First Page.)


Fourteen names are before the Demo-
cratic convention, counting Vice
President Marshall. who declined to
permit formal use of his name. but
he will get Indiana's solid thirty on
the first ballot.
No man has the fight cinched. Any
avowed candidate may be selected or
may be forced to stand back in favor
Of one unsung in nomination oratory.
The air is thick with claims and
counter claims, but political prophecy
is cheap and entertaining. After two
or more ballots have been taken.
probably late this morning. sensible
estimates can be made of the respec-
tive strength of the candidates.
william Gibbs McAdoo's position Is
about the same as during yesterday.
He doesn't possess two-thirds ma
jority, but he is the leader Of the
pack He will begin to show his
actual strength on the third ballot.
Many sincere and capable political
observers are convinced that he can
not secure the necessary two-thirds
majority.
The pack is fghting McAdoo des-
perately. There is concerted effort
to put into the minds of the delegates
thoughts concerning popular opinion
regarding "inherited Office and the
term crown prince" is now being
banded about freely.
The coterie of Washington office
holders who are here battling for
McAdoo, every last one of them Will
son men, came out of hiding and went
to work like beavers when McAdoo's
name was presented. There is or
ganization behind his movement now,
though the effort is to concel 1t from
view.
The gentlemen, IL you stop to
listen, would make you think that
McAdoo and his distinguished father
in-law do not even speak as they pass
by. All sorts of weird combinations
are being used to discount Grown
Prince" disparagements, especially
the familiar anti-McAdoo argument
that the former Secretary OF the
Treasury would assume all OF the
Wilson Administration liabilities
without it's assets, were he to go be-
fore the public. But can McAdoo
raise the wind for 72S votes? The
answer to that question will come
from the convention floor.
cox STRONGER THAN PALMER.
The Palmer and Cox booms arc
running under forced draught The
Ohio governor is unQuestionably tne
more popular. Palmer seems to have
in no substantial way cashed in on
his supposed Wilson's o. X. on his
candidacy. He will show well on the
first ballot.
Palmer and Cox men may get to-
gether to hold McAdoo back. but there
is no love lost twixt these forces, and
trading is irksome.
John, w. Davis, ambassador TO Great
Britain. remains in the background.
There Is sentiment for him. He con-
tinues to be worthy OF sharp glances.

Presidents of Roads Decide to
Establish Central Commit

Virtual unincation OF the trans

the Interstate Commerce Commission
as a result of the decision of the
railroad presidents in New York yes
terday to establish central com :

The committee is regarded as pro-

terminals and junction points in other
parts OF the country.
Daniel willard. president OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
chairman of the new committee rep

probably will be recognized by the
Interstate Commerce Commission as
its agent in dealing with the traffic
tangle. and powers are conferred
upon him to act for the commission
in attacking the congestion on the
railroads.

member Of the committee on car
service OF the American Railway As
sociation here today to take charge Of
the distribution and movement of the

He will exert efforts to facilitate the

be recognized as the agent of Mr..

OF the railroad problem. Mr.. Spangler
acted in a similar capacity for the
Railroad Administration two years

at meeting Of the Federation of

appeal to the women of their parishes

She declared tha, in writing the
letter she was not trying to influence
women of her church to vote for the
Democratic candidates. and she wished
that every woman of e4ery faith would
write just such a letter 20 her nastor
or rabbi. Her own letter was non-sec-
tartan, she said, and her only purpose
was to inspire women to take keen
interest in politics and vote according
to their consciences. Religion could
be injected into politics with consid

Regime for Extravaganza
Senator Says Democrats Planned
to Continue Reckless
Expenditures
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

OSWEGO, N. y, Oct. Ex-senator
James W. Wadsworth jr. in a speech
here to-day attacked the Administra-
ton fo~ extravaganza in conducting
the war. He declared the Democrats
had sought to continue the reckless ex-
penditures this year.
The Senator said he voted against
the Eighteenth Amendment because
he was reluctant to force any citizen
to DO anything by a constitutional
amendment. He justified his vote to
override the veto of the Volstead act
on the ground that this amendment
having become a part Of the Consti-
tuition was sacred to him. This con-
sttutional section would have become
joke lad it not been supported by
an enforcement act, he said.

ATLANTA. Oct. 9.--In his fifth week
ly campaign statement issued through
his attorney. Eugene V. Debs, Socialist
candidate Tor President, urged working
people to "look out for your leaders.
Some so-called "leaders," he said, are
often the "chief betrayers" of labor.

vote against me-" the candidate said
ethan give me his vote like a sheep"
After declaring the miners union had
been betrayed by men who headed it,
and who, he said, were rewarded for it,
Debs asserted that this is the logical
result of the Gompersonian policy of
remembering your friends and punish
ing your enemies, by steering the work
ers into the shambles of capitalistic
political parties on Election Day.
"The labor leaders of the kind re-
ferred to-" Debs continued, "are all for
Cox and Harding that is to say, for
capitalism and wage slavery"
