CONVENTION IS
OPENED; GLASS
SEES VICTORY
Expects to be Quick
Choice as Platform
Chairman

] SAN FRANCISCO, June 28-Con-
fidence that Senator Glass would
have more than enough votes to elect
! him chairman of the resolutions COM
mittee, was asserted today by his
managers. The committee was to meet
soon after adjournment of the con-
vention this afternoon and it was
agreed by Glass followers and the
! supporters of Senator Walsh to set
tie the Craftsmanship contest quickly.
The delegates and leaders were pre-
pared for fight over both platform
! and candidates as the convention as
sembled for its opening session.
Today for the first time the entire
convention personnel was here and
the opposing elements taking definite
bearings. The preliminaries of the
opening, as planned, were a bugle
call by detachment of Marines: pre-
senting colors; call to order by j, S,
Kremer, of Montana, vice-chairman
OF the national committee; invocation
by Monsignor Ryan, of San Francisco
Diocese; address by Kremer, present
ing Homer Cummings, as the tempo
rary presiding officer and the kew
note speech by Cummings.
Hours before the noon hour. fixed
for the opening, ticket holders were
gathering in the spacious building
which for the occasion seats twelve
thousand. The seats of the delegates
were compactly assembled close to
the platform and stretched almost
across the hall. Directly behind were
seats of the alternates and all about
them in almost perfect circles were
places for about ten thousand others.
With the exception of the patriotic
touch at the start the opening prelim-
inaries were not unlike those of prior
conventions.

This committee will select a success
sor to Rev. George F. Brown, who
recently resigned as pastor of the

County Equalizers Foot
Up Results So Far
/; Finished

Taxable values in Sumter coun-
tv, exclusive of the 9th district,
which includes the City of Americus,
have been increased approximately
$516, 800, as a result of the work
to date of the board of county tax
equalizers.
The work of equalizing tax re-
turns for the 9th district was be-
gun this afternoon, and with indi-
cations that additional large increas-
es will be placed uuon the digest.
The 9th district, in addition to be-
ing one of the largest district in
the county, is by far the richest
much of the farm lands located in
other districts being owned by resi-
dents of Americus, who return their
taxes in this district.
A large number of corporations
which HAYS ks8e, sums invested in
loans and solvent account as well
as stocks of goods are also located
in Americas, and the returns of all
of these are to be increased in pro-
portion as values throughout the
county have been raised.

ganized the board of county commits
sioners called them into conference
and the tax equalizers were instruct
ed that in accordance with the in
creased value of all things, and in
view of a demand made by State
Tax Commissioner Fullbright that
taxable values in Sumter county be
raised 40 per cent, and the further
consideration that the county must
have additional funds with which to
meet its expenses, they should raise
values equitably and without favorit-
ism to ami amount sufficient to pro-
1duce revenue necessary for the need
of the state and county, having al
WAYS in mind the fact that the law
provides that every man shall pay
upon a fair market value of his
properties.
With these instructions in mind,
and with due regard to the necessity
for making all raises equitable and
lust. che members of the board have
worked very energetically and con-
scientiously at the task of revising
tan returns, with the result that half
a Mnillion dollars has already been
added to the taxable values in the
county outside of .Americus. The
raises made have been consistent and
in accordance with the raise in real
values. the members of the board as
sert. and they feel that they have
done their duty conscientiously and
insofar as possible, with justice to
all concerned.

raises made in other districts were
footed up this morning, and these

questions on the tax return blank in

that such returns should not in the

that each class of property owned is

A careful canvas of the commit
tee on resolutions shows a dry ma
pority.
May Fight ON Floor
This insures a majority report
drawn by VIM. ]. Bryan endorsing
the prohibition amendment and de-
claring for its strict enforcement.
There will also me minority re-
port recommending a change in the
constitution in favor of excepting
beer and wines.
The presentation of these two re-
ports will start a debate on the floor
and end in roll call which will line
up the vets and drys.
No one has been able to predict.
even approximately, what this vote
will be. 1t is believed to be rather
close.
On the outcome of the wet and dry
contest will depend other event. The
vote will show to what extent Bry-
an retains control of the situation.
A decisive defeat of the majority
or dry, report of the 7latform com
mittee, would open the way to the
nomination of a wet candidate-per-
haps James M. Cox of Ohio. On
the other hand an overwhelming dry
vote in this test would show Bryan
to be in almost complete control,
with the probability that no candidate
disapproved by HIM could be nomi-
mated.
Little Interest in League.
This is where the Owen candidacy
would begin to figure.
The wet and dry issue is receiving
more attention than the League of
Nations plank. AIthougl. here two
distinct and opposing views on this
subject, the topic is one on " .ch
there is an obvious lack of interest.
1t is regarded by many as rem, te
and becoming more so. The local
issues are crowding it out.
President Wilson's views will be
pressed by Senator Carter Glass of
Virginia, in a plank modelled on that
of the Virginia state convention. The
Bryan views will be embodied in a
plank which Bryan drew.
To Have Tryout.
The Virginia plank endorses the
treaty of Versailles and the League
of Nations draft and calls for its
ratification without mutilation. The
other view comedies the possibility
of reservations to the league draft
On this question there will be q
try-out between the Bryan and the
Wilson control in the convention and
the result again will be significant
as to what kind of a candidate will
be chosen to stand on the platform
If, for instance, Bryan should bim'
self come into the running a can
didate (and this is not IMPOSSIBLE
the first thing he would require would
be a platform with these two planks
in it conforming to his ideas.
On the other hand, the adop
ton of a moist plank and Wilson
plank would almost ALLEVIATE Bryan
and his following.
Bryan yesterday gave out his dry
plank, for which he will conduct {
fight as follows:
