Montanan Who Voted for

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27. - The
fight against Senator Glass, of Vir-
ginia, the Administration choice for
chairman of the Resolutions Commit
tee, remained an indefinite quantity
tonight, but was attracting increasing
attention in convention gossip.
Administration leaders declared there
was no doubt of the outcome, and
some of them even asserted that the
movement against Senator Glass would
collapse entirely before the committee
meets me-, late Tomorrow to organize.
Those active in the opposition were
less positive in their claims, but de-
clared 1T was real fight.
Senator Walsh, Of Montana, who re-
jected President Wilson's advice and
voted last March for ratification of
the peace treaty with the Republican
reservations, was the candidate urged
against the Virginia Senator.
A group of Western delegates seemed
TO form the backbone of the Walsh
movement, but those in charge of it
concededly were making their fight
under cover and said they did not care
to tip their hand by revealing who had
promised support.

announced tonight, will take personal

Chairman of the Resolutions Commit
tee in the face of the fight being made
to elect Senator Walsh.
While Senator Walsh's supporters
disclaim that theirs was an anti-Admin-
istration fight, the Administration
forces, in selecting Mr.. Cummings to
take charge of their interests, declared
they regarded the movement as an
anti-Administration one led by W. J.
Bryan. although they did not consider
Senator Walsh an anti-Administration
man.
William J. Bryan, expected to be the
center of platform disputes in the CONF
mittee. said he had no candidate for
advocated Senator Walshs selection as
permanent chairman of the conven-
ton, however, and the general predic-
ton was that if roll call were taken
in the committee BRYAN would line up
against Senator Glass.
The movement to make the Montana
Senator permanent chairman apparently
has been abandoned, although it was
thought some Eastern states which
might nave supported him for that
place probably would not be for him
for the resolutions Craftsmanship.
Advocates of Senator Walsh's candi-
dacy to head the committee insisted
that the fight would not necessarily
mean overturning the Administration
program or declaring for the peace

They declared they were conducting

Resolutions Committee
From q Staff Corresnoude,,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27-The
National Democratic Convention will
adopt its platform before nominating
its candidates for President and Vice.
President, according to leaders of all
factions, who declared to-day that the
fight launched by the Palmer forces
last week to have the Presidential
nominee selected before the platform
is adopted has been lost
Administration forces, flushed with
their victory of Saturday, when the
national committee seated the Palmer
delegates from Georgia and refused to
permit the name of United States SEN
ator James A. Reed. of Missouri, to 90
on the temporary list of delegates,
are preparing to make hard fight on
the principal planks.
The Administration will propose a
plank on the dry issue tna1 is accept
able to the extreme wing of neither
side. The vets declare that it is
"straddling" the question of light
wines and beers, while the drys are
condemning it on the ground that by
refraining from declaring for strict
enforcement of the Volstead prohib-
tion enforcement act it silently gives
the vets an opportunity to push their
case.
To Straddle Irish Question
On the Irish question, the Admins
tration will propose another straddle,
according to present plans The plan
to have the question of the freedom
of Ireland taken care of in a plank
indorsing the League of Nations and
calling upon the league to free Ire
land has been abandoned, and in its
place Administration forces plan to
propose a plank expressing sympathy
for all oppressed peoples.
On the League of Nations issue the
Administration will fight to obtain an
emphatic Endorsement of President
Wilson's course in the treaty fight.
Senator Carter Glass, Of Virginia,
who is acting as the Presidents spokes-
man in the platform negotiations that
have been conducted, in 'ah effort to ar
range things so that the Resolutions
Committe can function smoothly when
it meets Tuesday night or Wednesday
does not express confidence that he
will win the fight on the treaty plank,
but he is confident that the convention
wll follow the Administrations lead

there is every evidence of row.

Effort Being Made to Pla-

Support in Campaign
BY Carter Field

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.--
The Democratic Convention will
meet at noon tomorrow, and yet to-
night not a single leader down in his
heart is sure as to the outcome. One
thing is certain, however: President
Wilson will have his own way un-
trammeled as to platform planks.
He can have almost anything else
he may want except a denomination,
and there are plenty who say that
he can have that if he will only in
dicate that he wants it.
Delegates who arrived last night
and to-day were astcunded at the
strength Of the Administration ma
chine and the confidence of the
steam roller chauffeurs, as indicated
in the actions of the national COM
mittee yesterday.
The Georgia case, in which the
delegates favorlng Palmer and rep
resenting one-third of the Demo
cratic voters of the state were seat
ed, did not cause so much surprise.
Every one realizes that twice as
many Democrats IT. Georgia opposed
the Presidents desire to have the
treaty ratified without reservations,
but there was at least legal case
which could be presented in favor Of
seating the Palmer delegates.
Direct Issue in Reed Case
But in the Missouri case nothing
prevailed in the refusal of the com
mittee to seat Senator James A.. Reed
except the belief that President Will
son would not like it if an opportunity
is given Mr.. Reed to make a fight
against the peace treaty on the floor
OF the convention. That was the OBJ
vious guiding motive of the Missouri
State convention. 1t was the frank
motive of the national committee in
refusing to seat a Democratic member
of the United States Senate of un-
questioned party loyalty, who had been
selected unanimously by the Demo
cratic representatives to the state con-
vention from the heaviest Democratic
district in the state.
The concluding sentence of Senator
Reeds statement printed in the morn
ing newspapers to-day, which, men
toned the refusal of the national com
mittee to accord representation in the
convention to a district in which there
were 100000 white people and without
whose normal Democratic majority the
party could not hope to carry Missouri,
was read with knitted brows by many
delegates in questioning the wisdom of
the national committee.
Loss of Missouri Threatened
1t is generally realized that Mis-
souri, is no longer a part of the solid
South, politically. Missouri is Writ
ually an anti-League of Nations state.
Only one newspaper in the five largest
towns of the state. "The Kansas City
Post" advocates the ratifca of the
treaty without reservation. Two years
ago Missouri elected Republican
Senator, Spencer, to fill the seat of
William ]. Stone. This year not only
are her eighteen electoral votes likely
to be thrown into the Harding column

Club, Finishes Second;
Field of p Starts

All Sands, of the Morningside A. C.
and G. C. N. Y, scored double sue
cess yesterday in the Harlem Athletic
Leagues handicap cross-country race
at Van Cortlandt Park, the first Inter-
settlement A. C. handicap hill-and- dale e
event ever held over the uptown course.
Sands, who was allowed a handicap of
3 minutes 80 seconds. flashed over the
finish line winner and in attaining
his victory registered the fastest time
for the course. The Morningside A. c.
runner was clocked in the actual time
Of 33:46. At the finish he had lead
of about $50 yards on W. Gladding, of
the Glencoe A. c., who, with a strong
from w. Miller, of the Harbrook
Heights A. c..
field of twenty-five runners start
ed, all but five completing the full
course. Miller, allowed the limit
handicap of six minutes, showed in the
van in the early running, following a
stiff pace up the golf links and
through the woods on the backstretcn
Sands, who was in exceptional form,
cut out a surprising pace from the out
set and the result was that before two
miles mad been covered he was chal-
longing for the lead Up to the point
where the runners start climb OF
Cemetery Hill Miller retained his posi-
tion at the head of the field, but here
Sands displaced the Glencoe runner
and set the pace thereafter
Completing the first lap Sands had
an advantage of about fifty yards on
Miller, who gamely clung to the stiff
pace followed by his rival. Round the
course, until thd second ascent of
Cemetery Hill was made Miller dog
gedly followed short distance in the
wake Of Sands, but the latter called
into play his reserve strength at this
stage of the race and went away in a
burst of speed which gave him an easy
victory Miller weakened perceptibly
in the last 800 yards and had to be con-
tent with third position when Gladding
closed strongly and trailed Sands over
The line.
The Glencoe A. c. hung up set of
members prizes to be competed for as
part of the race Gladding won the
token for being the first Glencoe man
