Edwards of New Jersey. in Chicago on
his way to San Francisco. declared in
a statement that there would be not
less than seven hundred delegates in
the democratic national convention in
favor of modification of the Vol
stead act, permitting the use Of light
wines and beers in such states as
wish to do so, with state control or
regulation under a general and lib
eral federal act
Opposition to the eighteenth
amendment is not today a political is
sue" Mr.. Tick's statement said, but
the Volstead act is open to amend
ment. as has been pointed out by Gov.
Edwards and by such distinguished
republican authority as Senator Knox
of Pennsylvania
THE Volstead act is so extreme that
it has placed in the criminal class
millions of women who make the
homegrown fruit light wines for
domestic use, millions of farmers who
make and mature cider from their
orchards. 1t places under a ban mil
lions of our citizens who for genera
tions have regarded light wines and
beers as much a part of their daily
food as the bread upon their tables"

that they are now confronted by the

Movement to Nominate
Glass Gains by McAdoo's
Refusal to Enter Race

The refusal of William G.. McAdoo
TO allow his name to be presented to
the san francisco convention will re-
suit in the waging of an active fight
for the nomination of Senator Garter
Glass of Virginia" declared Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Shouse last
night.
Mr.. Shouse expressed his views rel
alive to the candidacy of Senator
Glass after receiving Mr.. McAdoo's
telegram. Testimony recently pre-
sented to the Senate campaign ex-
penditures Investigating committee
identified Mr.. Shouse as one of those
participating In conference here
several weeks ago at which the candi-
dacy of Mr. McAdoo was discussed
Mr.. Shouse declared that the move
ment for the nomination of Senator
Glass has already reached formid-
able proportions, and his supporters
assert that he will occupy from the
nrst ballot a commanding position in
the race at San Francisco"
Senator Glass has been among the
most enthusiastic of the McAdoo sun
porters," said Mr.. Shouse. 1T is true
that the Virginia delegation was in
structed to support its senator. but it
was understood that Senator Glass
expected to throw his support to Mr.
McAdoo.
News of the McAdoo withdrawal in
lowed by the announcement ON the
part of a number of the most loyal
McAdoo men that they would exert
themselves to the limit on behalf Of
Senator Glass. They predict that the
suggestion of Senator Glass will meet
with instant response and favor. NOT
only in the south. but in many sec
tions of the east. north and west.
The senator was brought promi-
nently before the public by his sue
cessful handling of the victory loan
during his tenure of Office as Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Previous to his
appointment to the cabinet position,
he had already achieved national
reputation through the authorship of
the federal reserve act and the federal
farm loan act. He has been regarded
as one of the most loyal and one OF
the ablest of the administrations sup
porters in the Senate"
Senator Glass, in a statement to the
Associated Press last night declared
he still favored the nomination of
William G. McAdoo by the democratic
party for President, Notwithstanding
Mr.. MeAdoo's decision not to permit
his name to be presented at the
partys national convention.
Even If l could measure up to the
the convention should really nomi-
nate" he said, Il live in section that
is relied upon to furnish the electoral
votes. but not to supply the candi-
date"
Representative Flood, one of Vir-
ginias four delegates at large, said:
MIR. McAdoo's withdrawal adds
greatly to the strength of Senator
Glass and the Virginia delegation will
push Mr.. Glass chances earnestly and
enthusia stically in great hope of
success"

Democratic Success.

BY the Associat ted Press.
NEW YORK, June 19.-WiHiam G.
McAdoo, who has been considered by
party leaders as one of the principal
candidates for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination, announced last night he
could not permit his name to go before
the San Francisco convention.
This decision" he said. lis irrevoca-
BILE, as the path of duty seems to me
clear and unmistakabie."
His decision was made known in a
telegram to Jouett Shouse, democratic
delegate at large from Kansas, who had
telegraphed Mr.. McAdoo that sentiment
throughout the country was rapidly
crystallizing in his favor; that his
friends would like to have him permit
his name to be presented to the conven-
ton and that they were certain he could
be nominated and elected.
Mr.. McAdoo's Message.
Mr.. McAdoo's telegram in part fol-
lows
Your telegram of June II requires
an explicit and immediate answer. l
am profoundly grateful to you and my
other generous friends, who with such
spontaneity and unselfishness have with
out my solicitation advocated my nomi-
nation. To cause them disappointment
distreSses me deeply, but l am unable to
reconsider the position 1 have consistent
ly maintained namely, that l would not
seek the nomination for the presidency.
/ cannot therefore permit my name to
go before the convention; this decision
is irrevocable, as the path of duty seems
to me clear and unmistakable.
( THE considerations which compelled
me to resign as Secretary of the
Treasury and director general of rail-
roads, after the armistice in 1918. in
large measure still prevail. I mus:
have reasonable opportunity to re-
habilitate my private affairs and to
make that provision for my family
which, in time of peace. is at once the
sacred duty and the cherished desire
of every right-thinking man. Having
been out of office less than eighteen
months. | have not yet been able to
accomplish these objects. Moreover.
presidential campaign imposes upon
the candidate unavoidable expenses
which | am unable to assume and
which l do not want my friends to
assume.
Record of Republicans.
The record of the recent republican
Congress and the platform and can
didates of the republican national
convention make democratic victory
in the next election almost certain.
Victory will be certain if the demo-
Gratis adopt a straightforward, une-
Iquivocal. unevasive. honest and lib
eral platform and put forward candi-
dates who will command public con-
fidence. We must stand squarely for
ratification of the league of nations
without facilitating reservations and
We must be direct and explicit on the
important domestic issues.
The times are not propitious for

JOE WRIGHT PRAISES
4 WINNING YALE CREWS
Smooth, Powerful and Well
Coached, Says Quaker
Tutor of Victorious Blue
Odrsmen
SHIFTS ARE LIKELY
BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK


"TWo of the best Yale crews I've
ever seen, smooth, powerful and
well coached"
This was the comment of Joe Wright,
Penn's coach, after the Blue, of Yale,
flashed down the choppy waters Of the
Schuylkill Saturday afternoon to a
double victory over the aquatic athletes
of our University.
Twice the New Haven oars asserted
their supremacy over the Red and Blue.
and both were by margins that left no
doubt as to the respective strength of
the crews. The Yale varsity swept over
the Henley course Of mile and five.
sixteenths in minutes and Al seconds,
with Penn almost full length behind
and the Blue y. V. So led the Quaker
junior varsity over the same stretch by
more than a full length in minutes
and 3-5 seconds.
Penn Bow Weakens
II was in the bow that Penn weakened
and it may be that the famous Canadian
tutor will make some shifts in the
Quaker shell before the season is very
old. In the stern the Quakers held up in
great shape and Stroke Carl Thomas set
swift, powerful pace that was too
much for the boys at his back to follow.
Weather conditions favored the Nick
alls coached crew. for Yale was on the
west lane Of the course. protected some
what from the brisk wind which swept
from out Of the southwest. The choppy
waters also suited the Blue shells. 1t
was the first time this season the Red
and Blue has rowcd under conditions as
bad as they were on Saturday.
But Yale won and no glory can be
detracted from the splendor OF the New
Haven triumph. Weather conditions
Notwithstanding. there were few of the
1000 who banked the course who did
not believe that the Blue would have
been victorious even on smooth lane.
Penn Leads at Start
Penn uses a higher stroke than Yale,
and 1t was no surprise when the Qua
kers. pulling at So to the minute, took
the lead over the Ellis, rowing at "a
shortly after the start Of the race. The
Red and Blue stroke later dropped to
SO and Yale to "a. and the Penn shell
pushed its nose still farther in front
of the New Haven craft.
At the trolley bridge the Quakers
still were leading, but then the steady
