WILSON IS HAILED BY
 THE DEMOCRATIC HOSTS
Convention Swept off It's Feet by the Roaring Tribute to Chief; Cheers
 Follow Cheers.

San Francisco, June 2S.-From the shadow of the Golden Gate the hosts of Democracy sent roaring tribute across the country today to President Wilson,
 The national convention flung aside for the moment the business before it, while delegates carried on a demon stration that swept the great gather ing off it's feet.
 It was half an hour before the out burst evoked by a sudden display of the presidents portrait could be stified. Again and again as his name was mentioned the cheers broke out anew, to eliminate in the shout of approval that was adopted and sent to the White House tonight a striking testimonial of his party's faith and pride in the man who has led it through troublous years.
 Arrangements for the first national political convention to be held in the Far West had been we'll made. The great hall, it's clean architectural lines almost unamrred by added decorations, was ready, and througL c dozen wide entries thousands poured in with little delay or congestion, They found a wide octagonal space awaiting them, with a massive organ rearing its stock ade of pipes above tn platform, and the platform, and the other sides rising to far line of seats under high windows framing squares of Canifornia's bluest skies In the center of tn hall where dele gates sat railed within wide square of seats an nined ceiling was suspen- ded, colored in soft, old blue that rest ed the eye and lend something of quiet dignity to the scene.
 1 Below forest of standards bearing the names of states and territories was the only reminder of national con- ventions of the past. Perched high beside the organ in special gallery a military band whirled away the time

County Crops Show
 Further Improvement

The condition of the crops in this county are hard to estimate at this time with an degree of accuracy It is general conceded that there has been an improvemnt in all sctions un- der favorable weather conditions, There are so many kinds of soil with crops planted at so many different dates that one can be easily deceived by only short trip in the country among the farms. In one field you may see a crop of cotton knee high, thrifty and blooming and in an adjoining field small stuff being cultivated for the first time, We simply don't know what we have in a cotton crop yet. This great variety this year is due more to soil and kind of cultivation than ever before. Some neighbor- hoods, the Jones community for one, has good prospects for both corn and cotton. The Hicks neighborhood and the PeytonviHe communities average we'll, but they too have all sizes and ages. The close fiat soils and blackland belts are the most backward. You will even find on the rivers some of the most advanced crops and then some corn just being planted. In ordinary get line on the whole crop, but not so this year. We are just simply going to have to wait until the very last chapter. It is not uncommon to hear one farmer say that his crop is good and the man on the next farm say that his crop is very sorry.

PLATFORM FIGHT IS NOW
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
Battle Over Party Policy is Transfer ed to Conference Rooms. Long
 Session Expected.

San Francisco, June 28,-The fight over prohibition, the League of Nat ions, the Irish question and other sub- jects which have troubled Democratic were centered tonight in the confluence room of the Committee on Platform and Rsolutions.
 As the committee sessions began, some leaders predicted it might be three days before the platform would be ready, and that even then there probably would be minority reports bringing the prohibition issue, at least into the fight on the convention floor
 All elements were represented in committee which had one member from each state. There were ultra vets and ultra-drys, league advocates and league opponents, and represen- tatives of nearly every. other shade of opinion on many other public ques- tions,
 The Antagonists.
 w. J. Bryan was there to lead the fight for bone dry plank and James R, Nugget of New Jersey was the field marshal of the vets In the treaty fight the administration repre- sentatives included Senator Glass of Virginia and Secretary Colby of the State Department, while in opposition to the administration was Senator Walsh of Massachusetts with several others who voted in the Senate to ac- cept the Republican reservations. W. Bourke Cochran of New York was the leading advocate on the com mittee of an Irish independence plank
 Besides these there are many other distinguished Democrats on the com mittee's rostr, including Vice Presi- dent Marshal and former National Chairman Vance Mccormick. One complete platform, many partial plat forms and innumerable blanks were on file as suggestions.
 The platform submitted in it's en- tirety was the one adopted by the Virginia Democrats, endorsed by Pres ident Wilson and brought to San Francisco by Senator Glass,
 Bryan for Reservations.
 Ratification of the treaty of Yer sailles with such reservations as a Senate majority approves is proposed in the plank of William Bryan dealing che treaty and the League of Nations.

JOE r. ROBINSON IS TO BE
 THE PRESIDING OFFICER
Arkansan Selected as Permanent Pre-. siding Officer of Convention; Un-
 animOusly Nominated.

ts San Francisco, June 28.-Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas was un- animously recommended by the Com mittee on Permanent Organization to- night for the permanent chairmanship of the convention,
 Other temporary officers of the con- vention were recommended by the convention to continue their duties as 'permenent officers.
 Senator Robinson was placed in nomination by Mrs. w, A McDougal of Oklahoma, and his nomination was seconded by all states, and then made unanimous.
 The committee decided to recom- mend the addition of an associate sec- retary of the convention to the list of officers, and E. E. Britton of North Carolina, private secretary to Secre- tary Daniels, was chosen for that office.
 At the opening session of the com mittee former Governor Ralston of In
 
 Glass Heads Resolutions.
 Senator Carter Glass of Virginia was unanimously elected chairman of the Committee on Resolutions when the committee met for organization tonight. There was no opposition Sem ator Walsh of Montana seconded Sena- tor Glass nomination for the chair manship.
 The first test of strength proved the claim of the administration forces that they were in control of the situation, and they contended it forecast further control in the framing of the platform. Senator Walsh was supported by Will liam Jennings Bryan.
 Senator Walsh had been urged for the chairmanship by a group headed by Western delegations. They aban- doned the fight when a canvass of the committeee revealed majority against them. With the choice of a chairman the committee turned attention to the discussion of methods to hasten it's work,
 Senator Glass was not prepared to name the subcommittee to work on the platform at once and plans went forward for the full committee to hear some of those who suggested blanks to offer.

cAMDIDATES' LINEUP STILL
 SHOWS NO CHANGE
Supporters of "Big Three" in Still Hunt for Votes. McAd0O Remains
 Silent; Give No Word.

San Francisco, June 28.-There is more McAdoo talk in the air tonight, but there is apparently no change in the real situation among the various candidates,
 Tonight shows the first signs of movement among the leaders and managers to round up sentiment among the uninstructed delegations and compute the possibilities of nomi- hating somebody.
 Principally, tonight is given over to meetings of the four big committees in the great building which also hous es the convention auditorium. The leaders and candidate managers are all under the same roof, and although they are engaged in committee business they are not losing the opportunity to confer and possibly get together on the makings of slate of their own or pos sibly decide to accept one which the drift among the delegations may be forcing on them.
 McAdoo boomers hoped all day that their candidate would make some statement simplifying the declaration of National Committeeman Love of Texas that the nomination would not be rejected. Some were disappointed and others thought MT, McAdoo, in view of repeated previous declarations was pursuing a wise course in re- maining silent.
 Expect Several Ballots.
 Palmer supporters continued their efforts to make a strong showing on the opening ballots and the Cox forces were doing the same. About the only point the three forces would agree upon was that there would be no nom ination on the first ballot. and most of them seemed to agree that there would be no nomination in less than three to five.
 The McAdoo people today agreed upon Sam B. Amidon of Wichita, Kan. as their floor leader, and at the same time began picking out a representa- tive of each of the state delegations. Amindon was selected at conference of McAdoo supporters, who described themselves as bitter enders''
