Democratic leaders will determIas
the part the President will play IN
the cox-Roosevelt campaign. The
President desires TO step aside until
called upon to aid In the campaign.
Named for the nomination without
the especial approval OF the Presi-
dent. Governor Cox's attitude toward
the Administration Is awaited with
keen interest here. Several Admin
istration leaders who left San Fran
cisco before balloting was finished ar
rived here today. They seem enthu-
siastic over the ticket, but apparent
ly are not reconciled to the defeat of
McAdoo. They all predict the party
Will line up solidly behind the ticket,
however.
Secretary Tumulty is one OF the
most confident OF the Administration
men. At the morning conference
with the newspaper men he contin-
ues to add to his list OF Democratic
States day by day.
"Our only trouble will be overcon-
fidence." he continues to say. Tumul-

employees, which will boost the Gov

APPEAL COURT.
Latest Issue of Reolassifica-
tlonlst Points to Need Of
Tribunal for Workers.

The second Issue OF The Reclsssi-
ficationist, published by the joint con-
ference on reclassincation "for the
reclassifcation and regeneration OF
the civil service" will appear tomor-
row.
The paper takes up In detail. under
the heading, THE Enemy at Home,
the controversy between the Bureau
OF Efficiency and Edward Keating
chairman OF the reclassincstion COM
mission. In this story occurs the
following paragraph:
MT. keating made the very ex'
plicit statement at the meeting OF
the Joint Conference on Reolassinca-
tion on the evening OF July 2 that the
chief OF the Bureau of Efficiency was
responsible for 90 per cent Of the op.
position to rehabilitation legislation
The acting chief of the bureau came
out the following day with \ partial
denial. which. read in conjunction
with Mr.. KeatinG's statement
amounts to an admission by the bu.
rcau of the very thing which 1t pur-
ports to deny.
I'VE question whether the chief OF
the bureau would thus have convicted
himself out of his own mouth. and II
Is altogether probable that when he
returns the Acting chief will have q
very bad half hour. In the meantime,
however. we have been aided in our
work. because the acting chief Of the
bureau has disclosed the truth as to
the bureaus attitude, which all OF us
should know"
Admiral Decker charges Secre-
tary OF the Navy with dishonesty.
What would happen to you II you
made similar charges against the
head of your office or Department.
Ia the heading on another story. In
connection with this story the COM
mission points out the necessity OF a
civil service court OF appeals for the
betterment of the civil service.
The story closes by saying: "Mr.
Daniels cannot, of his own volition,
dismiss Admiral Decker. nor can he
dismiss the newest ensign come out
OF Annapolis. But Mr.. Daniels can
dismiss any civilian employe Of the
Navy Department, and the employe
has no tribunal to which he can ap-
peal his case. He should have such a
tribunal"
In next weeks issue Of the Re-
classiflcationist the commission will
discuss Boots and Spurs OF Militar-
ism in the Treasury Department" In
connection with which II Is stated
that almost any very pronounced
wrong situation can be made to cx-
list under the present conditions Of
the civil service.

FEAR MISSING BANKER
SLAIN FOR $500 ON HIM

NEW YORK. July "a reward has
been offered today for information
concerning James r. Blake. wealthy
banker and broker who has been
missing since last Friday night after
putting out from Clason's Point in a
small launch. He Is believed either
to have been lost in a severe storm
which swept the sound last Friday
night or to have met with foul play.
Blake started from Clason's Point
in a nearby shipyard to have an en-
gine installed in small launch.
Neither he nor the launch has been
seen since.
Because Blake WAS an expert swim
mer. his friends doubt he was drown
ed They say he could have reached
shore by swimming. Blake is known
to have had 5000 with him, and this
has given rise to the theory he may
have been robbed and slain.

OLDEST MAN In WORLD
DIES AT AGE OF l26

man in the world, died here recently
at the age of 126 years.
In his possession was an old family
Bible with the record Of his birth in
North Wales, January 10, 1874.
Morris remembered the Battle OF
Waterloo and the only reason for his
not being in the English army at that
time was because Of deformed foot.
He distinctly recalled seeing the
Duke OF Wellington upon the latter's
return following the great victory
over Napoleon.
