Interpret this anti-Klan demonstra-
ton as one may, it reveals one fact:
McAdoo will come very near break
ing his political neck before he will
be able to hurdle his Khan affiliations
as a barrier to his getting the nomi-
nation.
Charles H. Brough, of Arkansas,
followed with the nomination speech
for Senator Joe T. Robinson, a dark
horse, and native son. At the close
the crowd Jagged after the band with
vocal rendition of, Weep no More,
My Lady," in "My Old Kentucky
Home"
Banker dominates McAdoo.
The introduction of James d. Phe-
Ian, who has just hurried back from
the French financial alleys of the
Quay dOrsay, brot the California del
egates to their feet. They cheered
wildly. They waved small flags with
an imprint of bear, the state en-
blem. Phelan, who was chosen to
make the nomination speech for Nc
Adoo, is one of the biggest bankers
in the United States. Ex-senator Phe-
Ian is the president of the Mutual
Savings bank, a director of the First
National bank and the First Federal
Trust company of San Francisto, and
the First National bank of San Jose.
McAdoo For Big Business.
ut was he who made the United
States treasury the safeguard of hon
est business" said Phelan of the sham
progressive McAdoo. He quoted Will
son rather lavishly in favor of his
nominee. Phelan's speech was an arid
recitation Of the so.called favors of
McAdoo to the railroad workers, the
women and the farmers. He admitted,
however, that the workers were not
given all they deserved and remarked
in a rather embarrassed tone: What
will Wall Street say about that?"
The nearest the Californian came to
meeting the Khan issue was in paying
half-hearted, transparent respects to
thenabstract rights of freedom of re-
ligious worship, speech, press and as

was associated as a lawyer and as a
broker. Mr.. Phelan did not mention

Cow bells, goat bells, flag-flying,
jazz band exercises, straw-hat and

as nominee.
Four men bearing sweet looking
girl bedraggled with the red, white
and blue, with flowing golden hair,
native daughter of California, Holly
wood beauty casting her charming
glances promiscuously, headed what
is, so far, the best-staged performance
of the convention. The demonstra-
ton waxed hottest in each section as
the heroine approached the delegates
found there. 1t was the most cleverly
manipulated upsurge of the show. A
Negro, carrying the standard of
Texas, followed close behind Califor-
mia. Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Ore
gon and a solid group of southern
states, were trailed. Six Illinoisians
struggled along. Even Pennsylvania
joined in time.
McAdoo and Money.
There was loud, clear ring of
heaps of hard, cold cash; there was
