until nearly daylight this morning
over the league plank and then
sought few hours rest before re-
sumIng deliberations at,A0 o'clock.
FIGHT IS EXPECTED ON THE
FLOOR OF CONVENTION.
Members OF the committee ex-
pressed the hope they will be able "a
make a report to the convention late
to-day. but as fight is in prospect
I'm the committee on the Prohibition
and Irish questions, with anotheS
battle on the floor OF the convention
over these planks leaders In control
OF the convention have stopped ny.
uring as to when the first ballot viii
be taken. Voting for President wiz

adopted.
Blunt frankness and spirited clashes
marked the debate in the Platform
SCommlttee in which Senator Carter
Glass, the Chairman. William ]. Bryan.
Senators Walsh Of Massachusetts.
Walsh of Montana Pomerene OF Ohio.
and Vice President Marshall took
part
The action Of the COMMITTEES

according TO authoritative sources.
the plank adopted recommends &
ratification Of the treaty and the
league covenant without rsssrva-
tions which would impair its %.
ssntial integrity. To this was :
added an amendment by Senator
Walsh Of Massachusetts, that the
Democrats do not oppose reserVa-

specific the obligations Of the

nations In the world war.

ONE MORE CANDIDATE TO &c
PRESENTED TO DELEoATEs.
The convention proceedings to-day
called for the final nominating speech-
es. Ten candidates were placed before
the delegates yesterday ia an eights
hour session that was fun OF oratory
and stirring demonstrations. The one
set speech on the programme was that
Of Gov. Cornwell OF Virginia. placing
in nomination John w. Davis. Ambas-
sador to Great Britain.
Whether the name OF any other
candidate would be placed before the
delegates was not known as they
assembled, but there were reports
that one or two other names might
be presented.S Among them was that
of Champ Clark, former Speaker Of
the House OF Representatives. who
has been mentioned as a dark horse
candidate in the event the convention
finds itself in a deadlock.
During the long session Of tho
Committee on Resolutions the
plank on labor presented BY the
sub committee was approved. II
declares against compulsory srbi-
tration, but dsplores strikes and
Ioekouts and advocates that some

MOVEMENT FOR CUMMINGS ONE
OF THE SERIOUS FACTORS.

ITnquestionably the movement for
Homer Cummings OF Connecticut IL
the most serious factor affecting the
chances of William Gibbs McAdoo.
Scattering strength for Cummings is
making its appearance in delegations
from. practically every section OF the
country. Men pledged to McAdoo
are reported to be saying that II their
own candidate cannot win, thay will
he clad TO go over to Cummings at
the psychological moment.
This is a species of convention
strategy not unfamiliar to organlza-
ton politics. 1t Is the effort at trad
ing delegations for expected patron
age II the nomination OF the conven-
ton should win the election. Dele
gates who have been In politics for
years rarely play just one candidate.
They always throw an anchor TO
windward and get in on the ground
floor with an expected winner, es-
| pecialIy a dark horse. Then they
usually insist that the nomination
was due TO their strategy. Woodrow
Wilson has been told again and again
how the deciding votes were cast for
him in the famous 1912 convention.
So "a great deal OF the talk of a
dark horse can be attributed to an
early desire to begin trading on the
future, especially II a deadlock Is In

right. 1920 o).--Combinatio work both
ways One hears It outlined In men
acInE proportions that a combination
OF votes has been collected which will
prevent McAdoo from getting the
necessary two-thirds. This sort OF
talk proceeds naturally and Inevitably
from the camps Of the opposing can
dldates who recognize that McAdoo Is
in the lead and that said lead must be
cut down before balloting actually
starts in order to brighten the pros .
poets OF their own men to accumulate
votes in progression as the successive
ballots are taken.
But as the veto on McAdoo Is con-
siderable, so is the veto held by the
NcAdoo forces over any other candi-
date. The strength OF the former
Secretary of the Treasury in this con-
yention Is of the crusadlnB klhu lHuI

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am Is
years old and l like . certain boy
very much. He used to live about
q mile from my home. but he moved
over BY our house couple Of days
ago. He is very. bashful and he
never asks me to go places with him
and he never writes to me. Do you
think that is caused from his BASH
fitness?
Would it be all right for me to
invite him to 60, ice skating with
me?
How could l make him invite me
to 60 different places with him?
For the boy to write to you would
be ridiculous when he lives % near.
Bashfulness would not stand in the
way of his inviting you to 80 places
with him If he took an interest In
you. Probably he is Indifferent.
Do not invite him to 60 skating
with you and do not try to make"
him ask you to 90 places with him

mother to support L am truly glad
that l have her. but l realize the

they give her a dollar or two q

much and sometimes she will say,
When l am gone I will be out of

She thinks she is q burden, but as
long as she lives she is real happi-
ness and sunshine to me.
L hate to see her SO sad and i'll
when as little as five or six dollars
