CUT OUT ARTICLE
10 AND RANFI
That, Says Hoover, Should
be Republican Party's
Program.
rpv Associated prsssl

NEW YORK, June 25.-The ratiti-
cation Of the Treaty Of Versailles after
the elimination Of Article Ten Of the
League Of Nations covenant was urg'
ed by Herbert Hoover in a statement
published here today in the New YORK
Evening Post as the platform on
which the Republican party should
stand in the coming presidential elec-
ton.
Mr.. Hoover took the stand that the
implied threat Of employment Of mill:
tary force to guarantee the integrity
Of foreign states was out Of place IN
a league which he declared "is the
product Of the liberal ideals Of the
world" The Leagues power, he de-
clared, would be more potent II the
threat Of military force was removed
and the League relied wholly on Its
moral and economic powers.

[By Associated Pnssl

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-First
guns Of the Democratic National con-
vention were to be fired today when
the National committee met ia draw
up the temporary roll Of delegates.
Three contests have been called to
the committees attention but only
one Of them that involving efforts to
give Senator Reed Of Missouri a seat
with the delegates from that state
promised more than routine interest.
Only one contest, that from Georgia,
has been officially filed with the CON-
mittee.
The Georgia contest results were
expected by party leaders to be set
tied in favor Of delegates In sympathy
with the candidacy Of Attorney Cen
eral Palmer for the presidential nom
ination. An effort to place Senator
Hoke Smith on the floor Of the con.
vention was expected and because Of
his attitude toward the administration
during the senate battles over the
peace treaty 1t was said to be poss-
ible that strong resistance would be
met before the committee.
The first contest from Oregon was
not regarded as a serious case and
might not materialke at all.
Over night developments showed
two matters that have ben IN a neb-
|ulous stage since the first Democratic
leaders arrived hereto be approach
ing more definite shape These were
the mysterious and persistent boom
for the, nomination Of WEGs McAdoo
even against Ms Hat tlihation and
the conflict as prohibition enforce
ment plank IN the platform.
McAdoos' adherents were said early
today to be shaping their plans to
withhold his name from the ballot
INK throughout the early stages.
They have learned that the former
secretary Of the treasury still has
strong following. but are said to feel
that IN view Of his attitunde 1t would
not be expedient to present his name
unless the expected deadlock between
the leading candidates and Governor
Cox Of Ohio should develop.
In that event ther apeared to be
little doubt that McAdoo would be
put forward to break the blockade
with the assurance Of considerable
strength at the sttrt.
On the prohibition enforcement
question, the most prominent sub
ject Of discussion thus far there de-
veloped yesterday a sudden movement
to ignore the question entirely in the
platform. Suggestions along this line
came to Chairman Cummings from
the National committee, representing
various shades Of opinion ranging
from bone drys to almost as complete
w wet.
