straightforward, common sense way
that it was a pleasant relief and re-
action from the flights of Bryan and
Cochran.
Glass and Colby supported the
platform as reported to the conven-

Cochran and others who were at
tempting to amend it. Colby especial
ly struck precisely the right note

and much missionary work was be.

Two ballots were taken before ad-
lournment last night without any cam
dldate receiving more than one-third
OF the requisite two-thirds to nomi-
nate. Just as Hardings name filled
the air on the final day of the Chi
cago convention, so McAdoo's name
appeared to be in the ascendancy to-
day. Friends of Palmer and Cox ex-
pressed no fear that McAdoo could
win the nomination in the face Of
the strong opposition of some of the
party leaders. Reports that New
York would throw most, if not all
its strength to McA loo we're heard
early in the day.
McAdoo, Palmer and Cox were the
leaders on the two ballots last night.
On the first ballot McAdoo had 266,
Palmer 256 and Cox 1874. On the
second McAdoo had 289, Palmer 264,
and Cox 159.
The crowds gathered slowly as ths

man Robinson called the body to or

Before the balloting, National
Chairman Cummings read message
from President Wilson, saying the
conventics's action on the League Of
Nations filled him with perfect con-
fdence that it would go from victory
to victory, until the traditions Of the
Republic are vindicated."
The roll call started with Alabama
and Palmer lost two there to Nc

first feal break to McAdoo, swinging

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-(By
Associated Press1 White with
fatigue, wet-eyed with emotion and
deafened by the roaring tribute of
thousands, William Jennings Bryan
last night stood before the Demo
cratic national convention at a new
crossing in his quarter Of century
of public life.
Silently he heard the chorus of
''noes," one by one, strike down the
issues he had raised.
But there was no gainsaying the
genuineness of the tribute he re-
ceived even in defeat. 1t was given
to the man with utter abandon, with
out-the aid of the band, organ or
other convention trapp:ngs. 1t
sprang from the galleries, but there
were others who sat unmoved. They
formed solid block in the center of
the floor, unheeding the sea of sound
and feeling which ragged about.
From the moment when the read
ing of the platform was finished and
he took his stand amid cries of "Bry-
an, Bryan" to present the planks for
which he proposed to fight, the old
leader was keyed for the effort of his
life. Against him. he knew, were
giants of sdebate. For that reason
he divided the time, swiftly present
ing the outlines Of his case, then
yielding to others who paved the way
for the climax he planned for him
self.
1t was plain that it was the bone
dry issue on which Bryan would CEN
ter his efforts to sweep the conyen-
tion off it's feet. He had something
to say for the League of Nations and
other matters. but it was plain it

Occasionally you see some of
the boys arm in arm, but most
of their meetings are hand to
hand.
Champ Clark" exclaimed a
Utah delegate. "Why Champ?
When did he ever meet Demp-
sey?"
One of these days a national
convention will be run properly.
Instead of being opened with
prayer it will be closed that way.
At the next Democratic con-
vention an effort will probably
be made to induce Tex Rickard
to bid for the meeting of the
resolutions committee.
The idea of adopting a plat
form before selecting a candi-
, date is a splendid one. 1t gives
the man who is nominated an
opportunity to forget the plat
form early.
All the women here take to
politics as naturally as Pryan to
water. And they declare that
when it comes to election day
they will have no more difficulty
in voting their ticket straight
than putting on a hat on
straight.
If the women keep on learn
ing in the next four years as
rapidly as they have in the past
four, they will pack the next Dem
ocratic convention as easily as
they pack a trunk.
In years to come San Fran
cisco will remember the encoun-
ter between Bryan and Bourke
Cochran as the Day of the Two
Big Winds.
Tammany gives as an argu-
ment in favor of Al Smith that
he will capture the Smith vote,
which will make his election a
sure thing.
They said it to Senator Reed
without flowers.

RHEUMATISM LEAVES
 YOU FOREVER

Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
 Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison
 Starts to Leave the System Within
 Twenty-four Hours.
 Every druggist in this county is au- thorized to say to every rheumatic suf- ferer in this vicinity that if two bottles of Allenrhu. the sure conqueror of rheumatism, does not stop all agony, reduce swollen joints and do away with even the slightest twinge of rheu- lmAtic pain, he will gladly return your money without comment.
 Allenrhu has been tried and tested for years, and really marvellous results have been accomplished in the most severe cases where the suffering and where the patient was helpless.
 Ailenrhu relieves at once. Immedi- ately after you start to take it the good work begins. It searches out the uric acid deposits, dtssolyes the secre- tions and drives rheumatic poison out of the body through the kidneys and bowels
 It's marvellous how quickly it acts. Blessed relief often comes in two days, and even in cases where the suffering Is most painful all traces disappear in few days.
 MT. James H. Allen, the discoverer of Allenrhu, who for many years suffered the tormentS or acute rheuma tism, de- sires ak sufferers to know that he does not want cent of anyone's money unless Allenrhu decisively conquers this worst of all diseases, and he has instructed Lee & Osgood Co. to guar antee it in every instance.

Davis Theatre.

Ladies. How would like to buy your spring hat from Bill Hart. That's not as improbable as it seems, for the noted two-gun man is proprietor of a modiste shop in his new Paramount Artchaft picture, John Petticoats," {" which is at the Davis theatre today. The filming of the story took the fa- nous star from the great north woods to the old Creole section of New Or leans. He starts as a luInberjack and is surprised to learn that he has in herited a modiste shop from a de- ceased uncle in the southern city. De- termined to investigate, Hardwood" John Haynes, the hero, played by MT. Hart travels to New Orleans and there becomes involved in serio- comedy of big dramatic scenes, laughs and a pretty little romance. The second big feature on this programme is Billie Burke in Sadie Love-" a delightful comedy of the better class. The story was adapted from Avery Hopwood's s well known Broadway farce by the same name. It centers around a viva
 cicus girl who shortly after her mar riage to handsome Italian count i'm
 agired herself in love with twin soup with whom she had had an af-
 fair some time previous. A funny Rainbow comedy completes the show.

Breed Treatre.

How one crooked deal inevitably leads to others is dramatically visual ized in vitagraph's new picture 'In Honor's Webb" which will be the feature attraction at the Breed thea ire today. Harry T. Mercy is the star. He plays the role of Frank Powell, a wealthy manufacturer, who falls in love with a beautiful woman, only to be defeated apparently in courtship by his younger brother Bert, a weakling. Rodney Foster, a rascally social para site enters the lives of the chief char acters with an intrigue for the love of the governors wife. The black mail ing process of Foster leads, one aft CT the other, to greater deeds of evil and inspire criminally in his servants. There is a final solution of the tangles that are woven around the characters and a smashing climax occurs.
 Grace Davidson will also be seen in Suspicion" This is one of the most dramatically powerful pictures ever screened, the story being exceptional ly tense, vivid and strong. Oother pie tures on the bill include Snub Pollard in a roaring comedy entitled Order in the Court" and 'Prizma," the pie ture beautiful.

BIBLE CLASS SUPPER
 WITH THREE SPEAKERS

>,The Mems class of the First Bap- tist Bible school, Rev. George H. Strouse, teacher, held one of it's en- joyable socials at the church Tuesday evening.
 Promptly at 1880 o'clock forty or more members with a few invited guests were seated at attractively laid tables where was served the follow ing menu: Beef soup, rolls, dill pick les, celery, banana salad. saltinea squash pie, doughnuts, cheese, coffee.
 Serving were Miss Grace Stetson, Miss Rose Thomas, Miss Mildred Fili- more, Miss Bernice Wiley, Miss Lil- lian Cross, Miss Mazie Stamm and Miss Vera Stetson.
 The pleasure of the class at having as it's guests Rev. Alexander H. Ab- bolt and Principal Henry A. TirreI of the Academy and former Mayor AL lyn L. Brown was expressed by Wal ter M. Cowan, who acted as toast- master in his usual pleasing style.
 Mir. Cowan introduced Rev. Mr. Alb bolt, who spoke most interestingly up- on Democracy What Democracy has a right to demand of the church.
 In developing his subject Mir. Ab- bolt introduced these three points: First, What the church in it's make up must be democratic in it's organi.

zation. Second, The church must gather up all the latent religion in the world and make it both interesting and contagious. Third, That, the church must interpret every phenom- enon in our civilization in terms of the progress of God.
 Measurement of Time, YVES the thought of Principal Tirrelrs address, which was heard with great interest.
 All enjoyed hearing MT. Brown who, while not expecting to speak, re- sponded to an invitation to do, so.
 The evening closed as one of the most enjoyable given by the class.
 The committee of the evening was LeRue Bliven, chairman; Walter M Cowan and George Auburn, assisted by a supper committed, Mrs. Le Rue B1iven, chairman, Mrs. Louis Wheeler Mrs. Frank Davis, Mrs. Frank Robn- son, Mrs. J. E. c. Leach. Mrs. Chas Cross, Mrs. Charles Pearce and Miss Mary Dolbeare.

played Some of the messages that comey over the wires are not sug- gestive of the great life of which we believe our selves capable. Life in these messages seems keyed to a lower note than we are striking here now.
 Little that suggests the great dec laration of the Christian creed, The souls: of believers are at death made perfect in holiness and do immedi- ately pass into glory"
 II. We protest against the publici- ty given to many revealings of this cult. If messages come to us from loved ones we should regard them too sacred and too personal to exploit them and should resent the intecven- tion of the professional medium.
 III. We protest the commerciaiz- ing of these messages for wide dis semination.
 ". We protest on account of the wide contrast many of these messages bear to the majestic portraiture of the future which the scriptures present. We prefer the reserve and dignity of these scripture promises. The house of many mansions. The home prepar- ed. The assurance of eternal fife. The white raiment washed in The blood of the Lamb. The far more exceed ing and eternal weight of glory. The glory of things unutterable. The things that eye hath not seen nor heard nor entered the heart of man. The city of God The heavenly Je- rusalem. The great becoming the progressive march of redeemed spirits, as powers of an endless life. The re- covered image of God the Spotless Spirit. The height and depth, length and breadth of the love of God. These find echoes in the human spirit and fit into all the innermost folds. And resting in these promises we wait the dawn of the great day. in whose sky no clouds will float and no shadows of evening fall.

Cadillac works have not pro- duced a car which equals 1t. The added exterior beauties are plainly apparent but the greater beauties are those which await you Tn an ease of control and a softness of operation beyond our ability to describe.
 The car has accomplished prodigies of long, hard travel, with an absence of even the most usNal adjustment.
 Even while our eyes are fixed on a Cadillac steadily and progressively improving, we cannot help feeling that there has been attained, in this Cadillac, a secure supe- riority which is reward enough for a lifetime of jealous labor.
 And that is what this Cadil- lac actually represents the life-work of the same group of craftsmen, giving today, as they have for years, the very best that is in them to make a greater and 2 ~r' Cadillac

IT Is our desire to be as temperate as possible in dis cussing this new Cadillac. But 1t Is not easy to tell even the plain facts in an entirely dispassionate way.
 For we have knowledge of this Cadillac, in actual per- formance, which prompts us to almost unmeasured en- thusiasm.
 It is the climax and the culmination of more than eighty thousand Cadillac cars, of the same type, which have preceded 1t.
 It embodies and expresses the best thought, and the best practice, of nearly six years of concentration on this type.
 And it gives life and action to all of the refinements and improvements which the past year in particular has brought forth.
