PLANkS
ARE NUMEROUS,
WIDELY VARIED
Several Proposed Which
Conflict With Views
of President.

San Francisco, June 27-Several
League of Nations planks. conflicting
more or less violently with the admin
istration views, have been perfected for
presentation to the Democratic resolu-
tions committee when it begins its de-
liberations
The volunteer proposals were almost
as numerous and varied as were propos-
ed reservations to the peace treaty
when the drive for senate compromise
was at its height Three or four of
them, however, stood out because of
their authorship as forecasting the prin-
ciples around which the convention fight
will center.
Walsh (Mass.) Has One.
One prepared by Senator Walsh. of
Massachusetts, who supported the Re
publican reservations through the SEN
ate fights, would omit any declaration
for ratification of the treaty in any
form. but would declare faith in a league
of nations along defined lines, accord
ing with American interests.
Another, said to have the backing of
A number Of senators who supported the
president at the start of the ratifica-
ton debate. but in the end voted to take
the Republican program, would declare
for ratification with reservations inter
preting the meaning of the league cove
nant and protest in American interests.
From Bryan Supporters.
Still third suggestion, which came
from supporters of W. J. Bryan. would
put the party on record as favoring rat
ification with whatever reservations 1t
was necessary to concede.
All of these proposals were unsatis-
factory to administration leaders be-
cause they approached the subject with
the assumption that reservations are in
evitable. The Virginia plank, endorsed
by the president, puts the case the other
way by declaring for ratification without
destructive of the vital pur-
poses of the covenant.

ice and crime; assassinate some to ele-
yate some one else"

FORMAL NOMINATION
Of NJ 'ADOO OPPOSED
BY HIS SUPPORTERS
Friends Working to Keep in
Touch With Delegates How
ever; No Organization.

San Francisco, June 27.-Strong sen
timent against having William G. Nc
Adoo placed in formal nomination crop
ped out Saturday night at an informal
meeting of McAdoo delegates and sup
porters. While the matter was not
brought formally before the gathering,
the subject was discussed at length by
groups.
Despite the efforts of Mr.. McAdoo
to prevent his name from being brought
before the convention. his friends are
working as an informal group to keep in
touch with delegates, No regular or
ganization has been effected thus far.
Florida delegates discussed candidates

await the convention roll call without

Srecial to The Daily Tribune.

SPECIAL TO Inc DaNy IrlDune.
San Francisco, June 27.-Saturday
and Sunday have been busy days with
the Montana delegation at the national
Democratic convention. All the dele
gates are here excepting Judge Ayers
of Lewistown. He sent his proxy to
Governor Stewart, who is acting for
him. Judge Erickson was made chair
man of the delegation. Governor Stew
art has commodious headquarters at the
st. Francis hotel.
Senator Walsh was selected as the
Montana member of the resolutions
committee and George Ramsey was Sc
lected as a member of the credentials
committee. James p. Bole is one the
committee of rules. &. ]. Kelly of Butte
will notify the president of his nomi-
nation and Judge Ayers will notify the
vice president.
Mrs Hathaway is secretary of the
delegation. OF course interest cpnters
around the candidacy of Governor Stew
art for the vice presidency so far as
the Montana delegates are concerned.
Chairman A. f. Spriggs. of the indus
trial accident board. is in charge of the
governors vice presidential boom and
is in very optimistic frame Of mind
over the chances of winning second place
for Montana.
On Saturday evening banquet was
given by the California delegates to all
the delegates of the northwest. After
the banquet was over the delegates of
the northwestern states formed a sort
Of organization and a get together move
ment was launched. Governor Stewart
of Montana was honored by being cleo
ted chairman of this organization and
made speech which was received with
ah1 nf Ea
ganization is to get united action by the
northwestern states in matters that are
of particular interest to this section Of
the country.
No formal action was taken by the
Montana delegates in either the question
of platform or the selection of the head
Of the ticket IL is understood that
views are divided on these questions, as
indeed they are with the wisest of the
unpledged delegates, Montana being
typical of many other states in that
respect.
There are we'll defined booms here at
present designed to name either Cox,
Edwards or McAdoo in spite of the
fact that McAdoo's nearest friends con-
tinue to assert that he is in earnest in
not desiring to be considered by the
convention and emphatically repeated
messages asking his friends not to per-
NIT his name to be put before it.
Mr.. McAdoo seems to be the second
choice Of almost every delegate that
has some other first 'chOice for presi-
dent and is also the first choice of
good many. Il is deemed quite likely
that he may sweep the convention after
few ballots have demonstrated that
the favorite sons cannot get the needed
two thirds majority.

638 Ships Wanted
By Navy to Meet
World Conditions
Admiral Coontz Bases Pro-
pOsals ON Economic Situa-
ton and Diplomatic Ad-
vices, He Tells Congress

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-A naval
force Of 63s ships as compared to 231
In 1915, was recommended to the House
Naval Affairs Committee to-day by
Admiral Coontz. chief Of operations,
who based his proposals, he said, on
world conditions. the economic situa-
tion and diplomatic advices."
Appropriations for 1921 were esti-
mated at $575,000,0OO as compared with
$61S 100000 in 1920.
The navy still has 2e1 vessels to
sell. Admiral Coontz said, mostly sub
marine chasers. but including several
pre-dreadnaught battleships, old cruis-
ers, gunboats and monitors, in order
to get down to the strength estimated
to be necessary. A general "house-
cleaning" Of ships Of doubtful military
value is in progress, he added, the
force to be retained including II
dreadnaughts. 13 pre-dreadnaughts, 8
armored cruisers, 1S cruisers, IA gun
boats, 299 destroyers, 141 submarines.
IL destroyers' tenders, SIS Eagle"
boats, &c mine sweepers, mine layers.
submarine tenders, hospital ships,
8 feet repair ships. and number of
auxiliary vessels.
To keep this force at sea, or ready
to 60, with only IS per cent compile
ments, would require 91,OO0 men, Ad-
miral Coontz asserted. Great efforts
are now required to keep going on less
than half compliments for all ships,
he added.
There are ships that on paper are
part Of the Pacific feet that are still
on tho Atlantic coast because We simply
cannot get men enough to send them
to sea-" Admiral Coontz said. adding
that tho navy was unable to bid against
the United States Shipping Board and
private companies. He added that the
Navy Department will ask authority to
order $4,000 naval reserves to active
duty the coming fiscal year.
Assembling Of the Atlantic and Pa
sific fleets in the Atlantic next Septem-
Der, under maneuver plans already
worked out depends entirely on enlist
ments, the operations chief said. No
crews are available for four dread
noughts Of the Pacific feet now under
going repairs.
