STILL FIGHTING OVER
 CANDIDATES AT FRISCO
Fourteen Candidates Placed ill NOmir nati0n-PlatfOrm Taking Shape.
 To be No League Fight.

San Francisco, July 1,-One brief session early today brought the Dem ccratic national convention to the end of the tedious business of hearing nominating speeches. With John w. Davis, ambas sador to Great Britain, Senator Glass of Virginia, Senator Simmons of North Carolina, and Fran cis Burton Harrison, governor general of the Philippines, added to the list of those formerly presented, the conven- tiCn, at the end of it's midday session, found itself run out of business. A Resolutions Committee framing the platform was not ready to report. and sent word it would not be ready before 8 o'clock tonight.
 On motion of Wilbut w Marsh, q delegate from Iowa, and treasurer of the National Committee, an effort was made to suspend the rules, which required the plaform to be adopted prior to balloting. and go ahead with the voting for nominee. Such a suspension of the rules required two thirds vote of the delegates, and it was quickly apparent, from the shouts of disapproval coming from all cor pers of the hall, that the prevailing wish was to dispose of the platform be- fore the balloting.
 Many Are "MentiOned." When it disposes of the platform with contests over prohibition, the Lea que of Nations and the Irish question and goes on with the business of bal letting, the convention will have be- fore it a field of IA candidates, headed by Big Three-McAdoo. Cox and Palmer-a scattering of lesser lights and including several dark horses. Unless some of the expected plat form fgl.ts peter out there seems little prospect fer the convention get ting to the business of nominating 8 candidate at the night session, unless | it proposed to remain at work unti daylight
 The movement to perfect combi nation against McAdoo still was going on when the convention went into the night session, but consideration o1 the cadidates still was obscured in some measure by the platform fight and the question or whether w J Bryan was going to win or lose o1 his prohibition plank,

AFTER THE TURKEY DINNER
A Thanksgiving Meditation.
By E. A.. Trommer.

A Thanksgiving Meditation.
By E. A.. Trommer.
Truth to tell, I do not know
whether it is going to be a turkey
or even a chicken dinner. In point
of fact, I was told that both these
birds that don't do much flying, as a
rule, are soaring rather high just
now, or at least their price does.
Nevertheless, I am sure of a pretty
good Thanksgiving dinner next
Thursday, consumed in more or less
pleasant surroundings pleasant
as the rent which is also soaring, al
lows a mere newspaper man to en-
joy. I am certain that no one will
disturb my after dinner nap, unless
it be one or more wrong" telephone
rings. am reasonably certain not to
be molested when take walk, after
my nap, unless reckless automobile
driver will exceed the speed limit
and try to run away with it. In a
word, am reasonably certain to
spend the holiday in perfectly safe
and sane way.
And the word "safe" Immediately
makes me think of it's antithesis, my
humorous or almost humorous mood
vanishes at once. and before nv eyes
arises quite different picture.
imagine myself the city where l was
born, in South Russia, where my sis
tiers and brethren have undergone
such unspeakable sufferings, even
death itself, at the hands of blood
thirsty beasts in the image of man.
I shudder when I imagine where I
would be now, how I would feel-if I
still were among the living. For
who knows where I, my very re-
mains, would be now. :.
When say I, mean all of us
who came to this country-long ago
or recently, or who were born of i'm
migrant parents. What I wonder at
at times is-why don't we, the Jews
of America, use more imagination
translated into action, why don't we
do more for our sufferers abroad, in
whose place a goodly fifty per cent
of us would be today if not for the
to come to America at one time or
another?
And is there more appropriate
time for this sort Of meditation than
on Thanksgiving Day? For we,
AHeTIcdH jews, nave Only Zoo many
things to be grateful for. I say this
without any f1attery to America, be-
cause to me, love precludes flattery,
cringing, crawling or servility. I
love America not alone because of
her fesh-pots, not alone because of
the safety and opportunity she gives
me and my people, but because Amer
lea is an embodiment of all the
beautiful traditions handed down to
humanity by it's great men. I feel
grateful that there is at least one
country in the world where human
ity is nearer perfection than any
where else. And I am grateful that
even this country is far from being
perfect.
1t may sound like paradox, but
this Thanksgiving feel grateful,
even for Ford's unjustified and

the holiday is over, let us be again
