AUDITORIUM, SAN Francisco, JUNE 80.
The second days session of the Demo-
cratic National Convention passed off as
did the first day-and the third day open
ed-wlthout the slightest reliable visible
evidence bearing directly upon the out
come of the Presidential race. 1t is still
"snyone's fight, with few exceptions. =
The McAdoo campaign certainly took
on more form during the day, if not more
substance. 1t gave evidence of direct
management, instead of the unorganized,
though pushing and energetic movement
that had been previously apparent. IL
evidently has been taken IN charge by q
few capable leaders, who are giving
orders, and the day was marked by evi-
dences of working committees on the
front for McAdoo votes among the mem
bers of the uninstructed delegates. Wheth-
or their more systematic efforts were pro-
ductive of results remains TO be seen.
