Uy llio Associated Press
San Francisco, .Tune 24. Trollml
tnrles to tlio Drmocrntlc Nntlonnl Con
tcntlon got l"to t'ic tncvltnblo period
of hurry and scramble today with the
jppoarnnrc here of one after another
of Hie men who arc tp play leading parts
In the big quadrennial drama.
In the whisperings behind the scenes
the question of the party's policy to
ward bone-dry prohibition continued the
Mir theme of agitation, with prospects
for ft fight on the convention floor grow
Iris better and better. Arriving lenders
ml delegations also added some Impetus
to the dlicuxslon of presidential candi
dates but that subject still remained
Veil' In the background.
Tivo figures newly nrrlved on tho
urene attracted vpartlculnr nttentlon.
One was Senator Carter Olnss, of Vir
ginia, freih from Washington and gen
erally reported to hnvc brought Presi
dent Wilson's own draft of the plat
form. The other was Charles V. Mur
phy, of "('w York- tllc leader of Tntn
many Hall, who came direct from the
widely heralded conference of old line
jiartj strategists nt French Lick, Ind.
Leaders Busy as Heavers
Iloth of them were as busy ns beavers,
but as silent and cagey ns mice. Pri
vately, they took careful stock of the
situation and conferred earnestly with
other lenders from far and wide. Pub
uir liv refused to talk politics, out
line wha't they hoped to accomplish or
predict what the convention finally
would bring forth.
Mr. Murphy was tnc new center ot
inoculation on the subject of prohibi
tion. The declaration of tnc iSew lork
state convention ior repeni 01 mo
i-htppnth nmendmont and widely cir
culated reports of the patching of an
anti-lionc dry pinu at I'rrncn lick
helped to bolster tho Impression among
many delegntes that Tammany would
!ntl in the effort to write such a plnnk
bito the platform.
This plnnK, said to nnvc ueen urntteii
ftir rnuferences in Washington among
men high In the party councils, does not
mention beer or wined by nnme, but
makes n blanket declaration tor more
liberal interpretation by Congress of
the prohibition amendment. It is ex
pected that a strong effort will be made
by sponsors of the proposal to throw
the influence of the administration be
hind it.
No Other Fight Expected
Mnuv of the nnrty leaders. Including
Homer S. Cumminp,, the national chair
man, reiterated coutideiicc that no other
platform plank would lend to n fight on
the convention floor. The League of
Nations declarations, as (framed by ad
ministration supporters, was declared by
these lenders to be certain of acceptance
alter only a nominal squabble in the
platform committee.
senator uiass's nrst eoniereucc after
his arrival here Inte jesterday was with
Chairman Cuunnings. They had dinner
I together in the chairman hotel room
and afterward sjient most of the evening
In consultation.
William .Icnnlncs Ilrrnn. wiio is ex
pected to lend the attack on such n
treaty nlnuk as well as the ficlit aeuiiist
a prohibition liberalization declaration,
till wns missing today from tho con
stellation of leaders here. He will ar

pretended to know exactly what plan of

who will be temporary Vhulrmnu, be

TSe convention proceedings by dispensing
nun tne inrmnlities of n second con
tention organization.
Mr. Cuininlngs said, however, that
personally he did not favor the plan,
and hoped sonic one else would be given
the permanent chairmanship.
Tammany Chiefs Keep Mum
Not only the Tammany chief but all
of his lieutenant!! refused steadfastly
to discuss that subject or to say whether
aU nilti-nrnlltlilHnti nwumnnnt rnnllv
had been launched at the French Lick
oiifrrrnee. Thomas Tnggart, of Indi
ana, another principal in the confer
nie. was expected to arrive here late
today or early tomorrow, but it gen
ly was predicted that the lines of
om-lon on the prohibition Issue would
not be clearly drawn until the con
vention actually gets under way on
Monday.
,. 0nt element which tended to keep
tnc problem in flux was the uncertainty

Calgary, Alberta, June 24. (By A.

American Federation of Labor, passed
through here yesterday on his way to
Snn Francisco, where he will present to
tho Democratic Nationnl Convention' the
federation's program for inclusion in
the party platform.
"The Democrats nrc usklng for the
suffrage ot the people of the Pulled
States and the labor people, represent
ing so large a proportion of the popula
tion, certainly have the right to ask
the Democratic convention for the sun
port of tho construction program which

Kdwnrd I. Kd wards, n member of the

not attend' the San Francisco convcu

The governor gave no reason for his
action, but it is known tlmt pressure
of state business and other engage
ments prevented his departure with the
other members of the New Jcrtoy dele

Wilson's Hand Seen

will be added to make tho league dec
laration ngreeable to the Irish voters.
In addition the President Is likely to
address a message to the convention
nnd in the end the President will prob
ably seek to choose the candidate.
.Like Chicago Convention
The convention is like the Republican
convention at Chicago. A small group
of state leaders who were defeated at
Baltimore in 1012 are auxiou8 to come
back to power. They are like the Re
publican leaders who got behind the
Lowden candidacy at Chicago. No
Democratic leaders would like to nomi
nate Mitchell Palmer, for they fear that
he cannot be elected. Their real choice
is Governor Cox, of Ohio.
But they were easily beaten by Bryan
nt Bnltimore nnd they can be beaten
by Wllsou If Wilson will, at the proper
moment, produce a candidate ns the Re
publican senators produced Harding at
Chicago.
If McAdoo is reallv eliminated. Gov
ernor Cox is the leading prospect. But
the Ohio governor's fate is tied up with
that of the wet plunk. The wet advo
cates are making much noise today.
What they want Is n declaration in
favor of an amendment to the Volstead
act permitting the stntcs to make laws
enforcing the eighteenth nmendment
which will toko precedence over that
act. Such an nmendment would vali
date laws like the 3.C0 per cent beer
law of New Jersey. The resolutions
committee, will be strongly dry. the
vote in it being probably about ,3 to
20 for the Volstead act. On the iloor
of the convention the situation will be
different, but even then the drys nre
likely to have n majority unless the
southern prohibitionists should voto for
tho nmcndingNnf the Volstead act on the
ground that this act is an Invasion of
state rights.
A wet plank would probably make
Cox the Democratic candidate, but
without such a plank he could not bo
nominated.

hits Democratic ossism
A landslide vote, the Blgns of which
nlrcady are being evinced throughout
tho country, will carry Senator Warren
G. Harding into tho "White House.
This Is tire thought of Scnntor Pen
rose, expressed In a statement made
fiubllc -today. He Is a ni'mbcr of the
tcpublicnn national executive commit
tee which will have charge of the cam
paign. The Rtampcdc of Roosevelt followers
nnd other Progressives to the Harding
banner, the general dissatisfaction with
the Wilson administration and the fact
that Mr. 'Wilson will have n big finger
in the Democratic convention pic arc
set forth as his reasons.
The solid South. Senator Penrose be
lieves, may be made over Into a solid
bulwark of Republicanism because of
the nntl-Wilson feeling there.
The Isunnce of the statement occur
red simultaneously with the return of
Lclghton C. Taylor, Senator Penrose's
secretary, from Washington, where he
conferred with Republican lenders.
Gives Out Hays Telegram
In his telegram of acceptance of the
appointment to the national executive
committee, Scnntor Penrose tells Mr.

rugged health" and that he will soon be
able to alve his full time to the work. ,
Mr. Taylor added that the senntor, in
n few days, would, bo seen riding about

The following telegram, sent to the
senntor from Mr. Hays in New York

"WILL II. HAYS, chairman."
All Will Bp Harding Republicans
The statement Issued by Senntor Pen
rose in conjunction with the announce
ment of his acceptance of the executive
committee seat, Ih ns follows:
"Since the Chicago convention I
have been lu communication with the
members of tho national committee and
others 'prominent In tho pnrty, and
tho reports coming to me from these
sdurces show that Harding nnd Cool

"In the coming campaign there will
be no progressive Republicans nor any
other sort of Republicans except Hord

"The nomination of the Ohio Sen-
Uitor unuouuicuiy nns mei wiin n nenrty

Governor Henry J. Allen, of Kansas,
who, tftorc than any other man, speaks
for the western Progressives, nnd was
himself prominently discussed an an

Burn Less Coal
And Get More Power
POWER plants using the Automatic Combustion
Control (Gray System) accomplish both. Savings
in fuel cost are guaranteed to be from 5 to 20.
At the same time greater power is obtained because
the Automatic Combustion "Control makes nearly
perfect combustion possible.
The Automatic Combustion Control was perfected
after years of scientific research.. Several industrial
plants have had it in constant operation for eight
years since it was first put on the market. It has
never failed.
So nearly does this appliance make possible per
fect combustion(that you can bum the smallest sizes
of prepared Anthracite or River coal and still
maintain maximum combustion efficiency.
Every owner, manager or superintendent should
be familiar with this scientific development. Upon
request we will forward you full information in

ncdite tho ultimata completion of the
badly needed high-speed lines."
A bill framed for thnt purpose was
passed by the Senate in amended form
when the last Legislature was in ses
sion. Tho bill wns "pickled" In a
House subcommittee.
Mr. Twining nlso urged that means
bo provided for the city to share In In
creased property valuations due to high
speed lines.
Ashs Right to Tax Property
"I recommend," ho stated, that the
city procure tho right in the ncwtate
constitution to assess property bene
fitted by the construction by the city of
rapid transit lines and other large pub
lic improvements.
"I cnniiot urge, too strongly the im
portance of this matter, which Ls in line
with modern IdenH of rlty development
that the city should share in the profits
resulting from the development of the
city."
The trolley service provided by the
Rapid Transit Co. was criticized
severely by tho director lu his report.
"Although the service wns notori
ously inadequate nt the beginning of
1111'J," he asserted, "the company did
not increase its facilities to any ap
preciable extent, and in October ngnln
submitted to Councils an appeal for
nssistaucc, requesting the city's help
and co'opcrntton in caring for the
trnfile for which Ita facilities were
again admitted to be Inadequate.
To Place Responsibility
"In this letter, also, tho company
again endeavors to place responsibility
for the inadequacy upon the shoulders
of the city. It Is moreover readily ap
parent that with the city's system in
operation nnd carrying sufficient pas
sengers to relieve the situation thcscotn
pnny's Income would be reduced to a
point where its solvency would bo seri
ously threatened.
"The company's claim that the city's
system is responsible for present con
ditions is wholly without foundation,
and the claim Is made for the purpose
of directing attention away from the
real cause of the inadequacy, namely,
the company's Inability to furnish ade
quate service and pay its present flxed
charges out of the existing rates of
fare."
