Marion, Ohio, where he will spend the
summer He plans to motor leisurely
over the National highway and to
reach his old home town Monday aft
ernoon.
The republican nominee today put
the ban on brass band and special
train, with which the presidential
candidate has been accustomed to
leave the capital, He has planned to
take this trip, accompanied by Mrs.
Harding and his secretary, for recrea-
ton and according to his custom of

find the road excellent, the scenery
beautiful and the air invigorating.
The party will leave the National
highway at Cumberland, and Senator
Harding called attention to the fact
that this is the first great highway
built by this government stretching
westward into Indiana.

mentS at Paris involved in the adop-
tion of a league and treaty so near
akin to previously expressed Ameri-
can ideals and so Intimately related to
the aspirations of civilized peoples
everywhere.
We commend the President for his
courage and his high conception of good
faith in steeadfastly standing for the
covenant agreed to by all the associated
and allied nations at war with Germany,
and we condemn the republican Senate
for its refusal to ratify the treaty mere
ly because it was the product of demo-
cratic Statesman nship. thus interposing
partisan envy and personal hatred in the
way of the peace and renewed prosperi-
ty of the world.
By every accpeted standard of inter-
national morality the President is justi-
fled in asserting that the honor of the
country is involved in this business, and
we point to the accusing fact that before
it was determined to initiate political
antagonism to the treaty the now re-
publican chairman of the Senate foreign
relations committee himself publicly
proclaimed that any proposition for a

ALLIES" HOLDING

T0B[0CK NJ 'AD00
Favorite, at Same Time, Has
Strength Far Above His
Nearest Opponent.
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Friday
morning finds al presidential candi-
dacies still facing an impasse. The
allies" hold intact a sufficient num-
Der Of votes to prevent McAdoo reach
ing two-thirds. BY the same token,
| MeAdoo is far too strong for either
of them to hope to progress. Even if
all the anti-McAdoo votes could be
concentrated upon one candidate it
would still be deadlock, the allies
kept back by McAdoo.
The question. then, is how long will
the convention be satisfied to remain
in deadlock with one candidate-Mc-
Adoo-with finger tips almost touch
ing the coveted two-thirds? And is
the opposition to McAdoo so deadly,
SO deep-seated. so irreconciliable, as
to warrant expectation by his op-
ponents that they defeat him finally
obstinacy in refusing the compare
lively few votes necessary to consti-
tute the two-thirds?
McAdoo's managers confidently in
sist that the second question should
be answered in the negative. They
declare they are assured that in some
of the delegations which are holding
out against McAdoo there is latent
McAdoo support anxious to be freed
from further restraint and to come
to him.
Battle Lines Stand Intact.
McAdoo's battle lines are found
standing intact. His situation in the
convention yesterday was this: He
was a definite candidate before the
convention-nothing nebulous, unde-
fined or uncertain about it-backed
by the positive assurance that he will
accept If nominated. Moreover. he
commanded a greater number of votes
than other. candidates; actual votes,
ready to stay with him to the end,
and with scores of additional votes
favorably inclined to him, awaiting
only the psychological moment to reg
lister for him.
Opposed to McAdoo stood the forces
of Palmer, Cox and other anti-McAdoo
men, the aggregate of them claimed
to exceed one-third of the convention,
sufficient to prevent McAdoo's nom
| ination. But their weakness lay in
, the fact that they were not combined
upon any individual candidate to
| stand up against McAdoo. Moreover.
| within their ranks were delegates
ready and willing to go to McAdoo
| when released from further obliga-
| tions to their own candidate.
Boomers Listen Patiently.
| The McAdoo boomers listened pa
| tiently to all criticisms of their can
didate and then asked. IF you won't
| take McAdoo. name a man who you
