RY y. O. MESSENGER.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Demo
cratic leaders comparing notes on
Wednesdays proceedings concluded
that developments did not warrant
either of the three leading contest
ants, McAdoo, Palmer or Cox, in
claiming certain victory. The more
conservative among them were eau
tious about translating the ovations
and demonstrations into prospective
votes. because of their knowledge of
the split conditions in many of the
delegations participating.
The partisan leaders were loud in
claims McAdoo boosters insisted
goal This claim was generally
secuted.
The combined anti-McAdoo forces
insisted they had McAdoo stopped
One big, salient fact stood out un-
contested-that President Wilson had

ton itself. The climax of bouquet
throwing for the President was
reached when Bourke Cochran so
graciously and eloquently rendered
the homage of Tammany. :
No Discounting Of Ovation.
There could be no discounting the
fervor of the ovation given McAdoo
by the galleries and the delegate
body. The abstention of some of the
states with large delegations was the
only fly in the ointment.
McAdoo supporters are regretting
that the order of business did not
permit rushing to an immediate bal
lot and capitalizing the enthusiasm
into votes.
Conferences are going on among the
anti-McAdoo clans to take advantage OF

the interim before balloting commences
to try to head him off.
The question asked by the delegates
as they foregathered in convention
hall was, ANY news from the White
House?" Having reference to the gen.
eral desire to know whether the Presi-
I dent had intimated a preference as to
candidates.. Nobody could answer.

Hied with boots and jeers at the bare
idea So. as the convention opened for
the fourth days session the situation
showed but negligible change from form
of previous days. save in the stiffening
of the opposition to McAdoo by a minor
ity. All the pros and cons of his candi-
dacy had been talked threadbare in the
past three days and now were fast be-
coming set on their convictions and
prejudices.
General Desire to Ballot.
In this situation there was general
desire to "go to the mat with ballot
ing. but impatience had to be curbed
for there were several hurdles yet to be
taken. The nominating speeches had to
be delivered, allowing the enthusiasts to
blow off steam. and there was still the
big talk-fest over the platform to come
off
Delay however. was welcome to the
anti McAdoo forces, as they figured that
every hours postponement added to op-
portunity to undermine McAdoo, but
realizing also that too long a delay
would threaten the situation most per-
ilous to them in a deadlock. with the
insidious influence of the band wagon"
to start a stampede for that candidate.

SUGGESTED
ASPARTY LEADER
Clique Is Seeking Bryan's Aid
in Boom for Former
Speaker.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1 (by the
Associated Press) 1t was under
stood that efforts were being made to
get in touch with Champ Clark to
learn if he would accept the nomina-
ton if rendered, and that among those
whom the combination would hope to
enlist in it's support is w. J. Bryan,
who encompassed the defeat of Clark
at Baltimore in 1912 after majority
had voted for him, and forced the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
Champ Clark talk was particularly
discounted by the McAdoo forces be-
rause they thought that under no cir
eumstances could Bryan be attracted
to him. Rather than oppose McAdoo.
the former Secretarys friends say,
they think eventually Bryan will come
to his support if necessary. AT least,
they insist, he will not oppose him
openly.
A break to McAdoo, his supporters
Say, will begin to come after the sec
ond or third ballot, when the favorite
sons have been eliminated.
McAdoos friends want to force con-
tinuous balloting once it starts, but
they expect the Cox adherents will
oppose it.

McAdoo boomer. it was only neces-
sary to mildly suggest that McAdoo
is riding the crest of the presidential
wave of popularity. 1t is sore sub
ject with them, and the antis never
fail to rub it in hard at every oppor-
tunity.
The Cox boomers started early in
the convention session to do some
stunts. They slipped a brass band
and some singers into galleries who
broke into frequent demonstrators,
one of which was to serenade dele
cations by playing such airs as .Oid d
Kentucky Home and maryland"
illinois, and other state anthems.
When nominations were announced
in order, the galleries whooped with
delight for they, wanted oratory ana
lots of it. The lobbies became popu-
lar with smokers and were too hard
boiled to fall for nominating fiub-
dub.
The nominators of the lesser lights
among the candidates did not succeed
in raising much of a hullaboo for their
men, the audience apparently being
intent upon waiting for the speeches
for the more prominent candidates
such as Palmer, Cox and Edwards.
But however unreSponsive the au-
dience might have been to the praises
sung for the candidates presented,
there was always one stage in the
orators effort when he could get a
hand" and that was to mention Presi-
dent Wilson's name. Instantly there
would come the response always
shared in by the delegate body.
Which goes to show that the dele
gates feel that in this situation of un-
certainty they have one anchor to
windward, one resource always avail
able-the President to nominate-for
this is undoubtedly the prevailing
feeling.
1t was noted that the man who
placed in nomination Cummings of
Connecticut vented as much of his
speech to eulogizing the President as
presenting the virtues of his candi-
date. and the greatest demonstration
of the day uD to that hour was made
in the Presidents favor.
The nominator of Cummings very
deftly pictured him as the Wilson
type" of candidate, much to the OBJ
vious distress of Charlie Carlin and
other Palmer boomers sitting directly
under the platform, who have boosted
Palmer as the administration man.
Then the band further tagged the
Cummings boom by playing the ma
tional anthem and making everybody
stand up.
Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Sa-
loon League predicted during the aft
ernoon that the convention will ig-
more the liquor question in the plat
form as adopted. He said it is futile
for Bryan to hope for a dry plank
and is positive that no matter what
the committee on resolutions may
propose the wet plank cannot possi-
bly, be adopted.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The
District of Columbia delegation has
a 'gentlemens agreement" with
Alaska. Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines to stand together on
questions of policy and principles
such as support of the administra
ton. the league of nations. etc. This
comprises a block of thirty votes and
they look to Costello as their bell

While they will divide over candi-
dates on the complimentary ballots,
it is probable that when the voting
gets down to brass tacks the thirty

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-This is
an emotional convention. 1t has the
same flights of idealism and the same
outbursts of impa aSSioned enthusiasm
as marked the famous Bull Moose
convention in 1912.
Song, oratory and adu1ation for the
leadership of Woodrow Wilson are
evident here in the same spontaneous
strains that came forth at Chicago
in 1912 for Theodore Roosevelt
Even Tammany Hall. supposed to
be lukewarm toward Woodrow Will
son, offered a most eloquent trlpute
TO the President which swept the en-
tire body of delegates from their
chairs and sent them parad1ng the
hall with cheers for New York state.
Every mention of Mr.. Wilson, every
reference to the league of nations
every worshipful gesture as speaker
after speaker pointed to the brightly
lighted portrait OF president wilson
hanging over the rostrum, was met
with outbursts of applause and noise
making.
Few DiscOrdnnt Notes.
The discordant notes are few. In
the Missouri delegation, disappointed
supporters of Senator Reed, who was
denied a seat in the convention,
sulked in their chairs and refused to
parade for any Wilson man Other
possession of the Missouri standard,

artificial manufactured, spontaneous
and real-everything from the lit
ing songs of decades ago to cheering
; led by ambidextrous leaders of the
collegiate type.
1t would be difficult to assess the
value of demonstrations They had
them at Chicago three weeks ago, and
it was noticed that the galleries yelled
themselves hoarse for Hoover while the
delegates sat unmoved. Here the gal
leries shouted loudeSt for McAdoo and
while delegation after delegation
marched around shouting, the best
showing made by any of the candidates
was that developed by the supporters of
Gov Cox of Ohio. Led by its own band,
the Cox people stirred up the most COM
motion.
Great Tribute to Smith.
Perhaps the most spontaneous thing
of the day was the tribute of the con-
vention to Gov. Al Smith of New York.
After Bourke Cochran had nominated
him, saying New York would not let him
be candidate for Vice President. as he
would be wanted to run for governor
of New York a third time, the famous
orator from the empire state began talk
ing of the achievements of Woodrow
Wilson.
Coming from Tammany. it made hit
and bespoke harmony in the coming
campaign. Without question the demon
stration for Smith was calculated to
have an effect on the folks back home,
but even Charlie Murphy did not dream
the convention would rise to the occa-
sion the way it did.
