SAN FRANCISCO. Calif July -.
With the platform out of the way
and two ballots already taken on
the nominee for president the Demo
cratic national convention went into
action today the sixth day of Its sit'
ting with the prospect pt concluding
its business before It adJourned.
looked as if William GIbbs McAdoo.
soninlaw of president Woodrow WP-
son. would be the nominee although
the anti-McAdoo forces contended that
they had sufficient pledged votes to
block the necessary two-thirds to
make him the party nominee.
The one thing tn favor of McAdoo
besides the belief that president Wil-
son and the minor federal office
holders want him was the fact that
the antls had not got together on a
man to oppose him. He was leading
on two votes taken last night and
quit 25 ahead of bis leading opponent.
Palmer and his managers were said
to be holding a considerable number
of votes In reserve as a part of their
strategy. These were to be sprung at
the . sycfaologlcal moment to make it
appear that a landslide was going
his way.
Expect to Break Combine.
This was expected to break the
an tl -McAdoo combination and bring a
rush to his standard for It was
figured that the antls could not bold
their men long unless they could offer
them another logical candidate with
prospects of winning Champ Clark
was persistently mentioned as the
man the antls might back to beat
McAdoo.
Iresfent WlUon sustained the
predictions of his domination of
the eon reiitlon fn puttlncr over a
platform Just as he wanted It and
It was admitted this morning as
the balloting was resumed that
he could dictate the nominee as
easily any time he dropped the
word. Lots of delegations were
hoping he would do so and thus
give an excuse for -quickly ending
the tpenventlon.
McAdoo has all along and still did
so when the convention opened today
held the solid support or an minor
government officials though not all
of the cabinet officers and senators.
It was said enough men from the pie
counter were for him however to make
it certain that his nomination would
not be distasteful to the white house.
The Democratic platform of 1929
will go In history as one of the most
unique documents of Its kind In the
world.
Instead of oronouncincr for some
thing. It is devoted more largely to a
denunciation or tne .Republicans ana
an attempt to saddle that party with
political sins. Instead of being a pos-
itive pronouncement it is a negative
defence pleading that "We didn't do
It the Republicans did or The Ke
nublleans didn't do It. we did.
Instead of a platform It was just
another "keynote" speech the fourth
or tne convenuon.
Even Democratic delegates com'
ment upon the unusual form of "the
Fiiaiiorn it iook up an 01 rriuay
n debate and It was one of the most
dramatic days In American political
mstorv. Tne ieaetn 01 tne document

index" of the Republican platform.
Glass Pull of Gestures.
Senator Glass read the documents
to the convention just as If he were
making a speech pounding the table
with his clenched hand pointing his
finirer like a revolver at his audience
or shaking bis fist at an imaginary
riepuDUcan as ne proceeaea.
The leasue or nations manic won
the Vreatest acDlause and showed the
convention thoroughly for the presi-
dent. The pronouncement for co-
operative marketing of farm products
and collective bargaining for labor
got a good round of applause.
When he said "labor is not a com-
modity; It Is human. he had to wait
quite a bit to even get a slight ripple
of applause. About 20 people ap-
niauded tne assertion tnat "iaoor as
well as capital is entitled to adequate
compensation.
The aeciarauon tnat -ite are
opposed to compulsory arbitra-
tion got just a small smaller of
applause but the declaration fol-
lowing that "We bold the rights
of the people paramount to the
right to strike" frot a thunder of
handclapplng. This convention
docs not seem as radical as pre-
dictions Indicated.

Applause Galore Is Given Bryan

S
AN FRANCISCO Calif Julj 3.-
William Jennings Bryan as usual
got a plethora of applause but a
paucity 01 rotes tnve times tne
Commoner was voted down over-
whelmlnTlr. sometimes by a record
of ballots of each state and some-
times by a noisy chorus. Friday was
a day of Impassioned oratory out-
bursts of fanatical enthusiasm and
cogent arguments in rebuttal. While
the battle was Intense eood nature
prevailed. Speaker after speaker
who argued xor changes in tne plat-
form said in advance that the judg-
ment of the convention would be ac
cepted. There were no threats of a
bolt. It was a lively dramatic ses
sion in which the effort to secure a
recognition of the Irish republic was
fought out in the ope and defeated.
Similar It the wet and dry Question
was debateed at length and both the
moist position taken by New York
and New Jersey and the bone-dry
attitude of William Jennings Bryan
were rejected. The overwhelming
majority of the convention favored
the view of the anti-saloon league
that the subject be not mentioned.

of 1094. Bryan mustered only 155
votes for his dry plank while New
Tork managed to rail up 3S6 rotes
for liTht wines and beer out of a
total of 1094.
Neither ballot however was a true
test of strength because many dele
gations voted against both the wet
and dry planks preferring to keep
the prohibition issue out of the cam-
paign Just as the Republican conven-
tion decided to do.
Perhaus the most sursrislnsr
strenirth was shown by the friends
of Ireland They mustered 402 votes
n favor of recoimislne the Irish re
public as against 676. The Repub-
lican convention had omitted all ref

Into a discussion of details and the
aseemblr resembled a deliberative
body rather than a convention.
Throughout the day the sympathy
of the convention with tbe alms and
policies ot president Wilson was un-
mistakably emphatic
It was nearly 8 oclock. Pacific time
when the platform was finally agreed
to by unanimous vote. Without giv-
ing a recess for dinner In fact there
was none for lunch either the con-
vention proceeded to the ballotins.
As was anticipated the early vote
was largely complimentary and cast
for favorite sons who have no chance
of winning.
On the first ballot the differences
between the three leaders. Palmer.
Cox and McAdoo were so slight as
to carry no sgtsiflcance. Kaeh man-
ager was saving votes for the finish.
Ready to Get On Band Wagon.
Fears of a stampede for McAdoo on
the fourth or fifth ballot permeated
the Cox and Palmer camps early to-
day and the balk of the delegates
thinking the same thing held them-
selves in readiness to climb on the
McAdoo band wagon.
Kons ot the managers was. or
course absolutely sure. The neceS'
sary two-thirds still lingered as i
vairns expectation rather than a con
crete mathematical actuality. Efforts
have been made to form a combina-
tion to stop McAdoo's progress bat
Inasmuch as the opposition to blm
has selected no candidate the situa-
tion was really not unfavorable to
McAdoo for the friendliest feeling
Drevalled between the Palmer and
McAdoo leaders. It attorney general
Palmer couldn't win his strength was
slated to go largely to McAdo. not
necessarily at the behest of Mr. Pal-
mer but because of the belief that
McAdoo was the logical alternate.
The McAdoo forces have Insisted on
talking ot Cox for the vice presidency
notwithstanding the announcement of
the Ohio governor that he would not
take the nomination under any cir-
cumstances. If McAdoo should be
nominated a serious 'effort was plan-

On that ballot tbe three leaders stood- unofficially: McAdoo. 384;
Cox. 295J2- Palmer. 26
The changes on the seventh ballot shewed Cox gained IOOJj votes;
McAdoo gained 15J4 votes and Palmer gained 2. This put Cox in second
place for the first taae. AH the gains were made from the field.
The delegates working for the combination against McAdoo kicked
up a great demonstration in which the standards of New Jersey. Indiana.
Mississippi Kentucky. Ohio and Maryland joked. It was the first demon-
stration of a slide to anybody when New Jersey also broke to Cox. it
threw the convention hall into a tumult again.
"Hell beat Harding in Ohio" was the cry that rang through the con-

Four Words Dropped
From Soldiers' Plank
SAX FRANCISCO. Calif July 2.
Chairman Glees obtained per-
mission to strike four words
from the platform plank relating
to treatment of service men in the
late war after the platform had
been adopted by tbe Democratic
convention. He declared that the
resolutions committee did not
think the change of signal Impor-
tance but R. C Murchle. national
committeeman from Hew Hamp-
shire who argued for the minority
plank on the subject which the
convention had previously turned
down by a close vote asserted that
the correction carried the plank
far towards meeting the view of
the service mtn.
The sentenced altered originally
read:
The fine patriotism exhibited
... by American soldiers sail-
ors marines . . . constitute a
sacred heritage of posterity the
worth of which can never be
recompensed from the treasury
and the glory of which must not
be diminished by any such expedi-
ent." The words "by any such expedi-
ent" were eliminated bat the pre-
ceding portion of the sentence was
left unchanged.
ballots the Virsrlnla delegates went
out of the hall to caucus and decide
u they should leave Glass and to
whom they should throw their 21
votes. The McAdoo forces were wait-
ing and hoping for the block. The
inviasible combination against Mc
Adoo got a groat deal of satisfaction
over the gain of Cox but was forced
to concede that McAdoo was still
leading. Iowa waa expected also to
break up on the next ballot throwing
a majority from Palmer to Cox and

thirds vote to nominate but as the
delegates assembled for what s ex-
pected to be the final session of the
cosvsfittea predictions were made
that a nomination would come n ith-
ont a protracted struggle.

on the final day of the Republican
ooaveatioa. so William G. McAdoo's
appeared to be In the ascendancy as
the delegates assembled today with
this difference that the Ohio can-
didate had been agreed upon by the
elements in control of the actuation
at Chicago while the New Xor -. s
supporters here had still to fight a
stubborn opposition with no definite
assurance of success.
Cox and Palmer Firm.
Friends of attorney general Palmer
and supporters of governor Cox took
into careful account the reported
strength of McAdoo. but expressed no
fear that he could win the nomination
in the face of the strong opposition
ot some of the party leaders. Cox
men wonld concede nothing. McAdoo
men admitted their candidate bad tne
opposition of certain leaders but
pointed out that It Is not well or-
ganized and therefore not effective in
holding down what they call the con-
stantly gathering strength of the for-
mer secretary of the treasury

The rest of tbe boys will tell yon
all that went on out to tbe con
vention hall. Personally my heart
won't stand tbe excitement of the un-
aumerable sessions and I can't only
remain in tne anaitorlum a abort
while. As we sink to press I am told
that the delegates have trepan to bal-
lot but whenever I been In the hall
all as they do Is ballad.
The balladlnE" Is acconiDanled on a
pipe organ by a person named Uda
WaJdrop. which you might think was
a biscnlt or a piece of candy bat all
be Is is a organizer and he plays a
pretty fair organ and I haven't been
able to find out nothing; r him
which is more than yon can say
about tbe rest of the candidates. At

you get a man named TJda Waldrop
playing the organ yon can't deny
that this convention Is a pretty name
conclave and to be sure of it look at
the guy they put in nomination yes-
terday namely. Senator Furnlfold
M. 'Simmons of North Carolina. If
Furnlfold had of changed his middle
name to Per he certainly would of
romped through.
The boys who have the nominating
so far havo been very brief not only
because the committee on resolutions
told them ttsat their speeches had to
be limited to 20 minutes but afso
because If they run longer than that
they would half to begin stating
facts which would be fatal The
committee on resolutions added an-
other good resolution yesterday.
They read somewheres that Gamaliel
Harding was going to make his
campaign on the front lawn so they
decided that whoever is nominated
out here will run their campaign on
the back stoop and go the g. o. p. one
better..
Speaking about Gamaliel titers an
organized endeavor on the part of
the Democrat party to trace hU name
down to the origin and see if theys
anything against him but so tar they
haven't been able to get nowheres
which Is typical of this here conven-
tion. Tour correspondent met candidate
James tv". Gerard on the oolja board
this a. m. and asked him If be was
going to write a book called "My
Four Tears In the IThita House."
"No. sir" he says.-
"Why notr I asked him.
"Because I can't write fiction." h.
says.
So far I have Investigated and can't
find out why they's any reason for
holding this convention except to
show tbe boys the climate and bar
senator Reed out of the seat I gave
him and try to ruin the newspaper
boys financially but on the latter
plank I have got them licked so far.
as I have been In San Francisco a
week and haven't spent a nlckle yet
on account of Bill La&ge and CoL
Daniel C Jackltn. I have been In
Mr. CoL Jacklln's room most of the
time and I'll say that Daniel Is some
Hon Id his own den.
About all the news that's left Is
that Riley Wilson missed another
train back to West Va yesterday
and now holds a world's record of
missing more trains by 24 hours In
one week than anybody that ever
tried not to catch them. (Copyright.
