ated, and the convention nominated
him.
Palmer Boomers Active
That is why McAdoo is not out of
the race by any manner of means, and
that is why the Palmer forces are
making so little headway, though they
are doing at least as much work here
as friends of all the other candidates
combined, and Palmer press agents and
workers are arriving on every train.
Frank P. Walsh, of Kansas City, a
town which is sorely troubling the
Democrats this year, is due to arrive
in few days to fight for plank call
ing for recognition of the Irish re-
public" Daniel T. O'Connell, of Bos-
ton, is representing Judge D. F. Coha-
favoring a plank which would merely
express sympathy with aspirations of
the Irish people for independence.
1t is the same fight, virtually, which
was made at Chicago, except that at
Chicago no plank at all was included
in the platform.
Threats Of third party were made
to-day by Abby Scott Baker, of the
Woman's party, unless the Democratic
party forces Governor Roberts. of
Tennessee 20 call an extra session Of
suffrage amendment.
Statement BY Edwards's Manager
Following is statement by Mr..
Roy, who opened Governor Edwards s
headquarters:
1--WE are absolutely certain, not only
that Governor Edwards will be nomin-
ated, but also that he will win the
election in November.
Governor Edwards's candidacy is
winning strength every minute, and
there are pledged. to him more dele
gates than any one has as yet be-
lieved it would be possible for him to
obtain.
There is tremendous Edwards SEN
timent throughout the Southern States,
which will be expressed in votes at the
convention next week We will have
a big majority of the New England
States. In the Central West and Far
West Governor Edwards will get vote
that will give William Jennings Bryan
the biggest surprise of his life, and
when it comes to the election Governor
Edwards will make virtually a clean
sweep in the East, getting there enough
votes in the electoral college to put
him in the White House"
There are 531 electoral votes Of
WuiCu GOO COuSClIOI0 HadJOAiIy. HC
Solid South, with its 166 votes, will go
Edwards without doubt and the Gov
ernor, on q sound Jefferson platform,
including the state control Of domestic
questions, will carry New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
West Virginia and Oklahoma These,
with the Solid South, will give him
more than enough votes for the Presi-
dcncy, and in addition he has a fight
ing chance in such states as Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Idaho, Ohio, California and
New Mexico.
Claims Strength in East
Governor Edwards is the only can
didate who can go to the East and
carry any Of the states named. He
proved his strength in New Jersey last
year, when he overturned a Republi-
can majority of $4,000 and carried the
state by majority of $4,000.
"He can win New York on his lib
eral platform and he can do the same
throughout the New England States.
1--WE maintain that Governor Edwards
will get more Republican votes than any
other candidate that could be nominated
by the Democratic party. We are GER
tain of this because the poll taken by
"The Literary Digest" showed that Gov
ernor Edwards received 1858 Repub-
Ecan votes, or more than all the other
Democratic candidates combined.
Governor Edwards is the only man
whom the Democrats can nominate who
will win in November"
