Combine Fails to Get Opponent to McAdoo Continued from rr One Utah announced that it seconded the nomination of McAdoo. Vermont passed and Virginia sent Representative Flood to the platform to nominate Senator Glass. Describing Glass as the "warm sup porter and close political adviser of Woodrow Wilson." Mr. Flood told the convention thai Senator Glass's home town, Lynchburg. Va., was a monu ment to his ability. Flood Lauds Glass Sir. Flood reviewed tho work of Chairman Glass In the House of Repre sentatives, the Treasury Department nnd finally In the Senate, and ended by dcclarlne he offered tn tho nnrtv Hm or. perlcnco nnd tho capacity of "n brave man whose Democracy will never wane ana wnosc patriotism will never be ques Honed." Washington was called and passed nnd west Virginia sent Uovcrnor Corn- well to tho platform to nominate John W. Davis, ambassador to Great Britain. Governor Cornwell told tho ronvon. tion that if tho campaign was merely a contest to keep control of the govern ment for the Democratic rinrtv. "to keen some people In political office and put others Into office, then I nm ready to quit now. The nubile record of Mr. Davis. Gov ernor Cornwell said, assured that if nominated lie would not be the can didate "of any class, any section or anv group." "You cannot nfford in tills conven- tlon." said he. "to nominate n man merely becauso he Is supposed to be popular with one particular group of people in the country at the sacrifice, of leadership. If you do that you make the democratic party a sectional organiza tion." Thrust nt McAdoo Boom Tho convention construed the gov ernor's remarks as a thrust nt the Mc Adoo boom. At tlie same time Governor Cornwell, by indirect reference, de fended tho labor record of Mr. Davis, which has been attacked. He closed with n reference to tho close relations between tho President nnd Mr. Davis and tho fact that during negotia tion of the peace treaty the President had kept Mr. Davis "at his elbow." Mrs. Julia Brown, of West Virginia, seconded the nomination of Mr. Davis. Mrs. Brown wns dressed in a white organdie gown with n corsage of roses and looRc,d like a debutante as slio stepped out to tuts speaker s pinec. Mrs. Brown, who before her mar riage was Ibetta Jewel, a stoek actress in the Hast, began by telllne the con ventlon n funny story which ran to tho effect that while man was asleep In the Garden of Eden the Creator took his brains to create woman. Tho men of the convention took the thrust nnd laughed heartily. Meets Women's Ideal "Women will select n man," said she, "whoso past life can stand the senrehllght test and whose present life measures up to women's ideals." "Tills man," said Mrs. Brown, "is not n preacher, although in his life he practices what preachers preach. lie is iioine-bred and n well-rend American statesmnn." Mrs. Brown made a hit with her nudlence and wiien she concluded the hand played "Oh, What a Pal Is Mary.' Cox, McAdoo, Palmer. Hitchcock. Cummings, Edwards. Smith, Meredith and Owen had been formally placed be fore the convention before it recessed lost evening. McAdoo Has Inside Track Frankly admitting that McAdoo seemed to have the inside track on the race for the nomination the inner cir cle of old-lino Democratic lenders work ed through the night devising means to stop his nomination and find n can didate who could command the neces sary two-thirds vote. Tiie answer of the McAdoo peoplo to the move for Clark was that if an inner circlo combination forestalled the nomi nation ot the former secretary of the treasury, thero would bo disclosed an other coalition which would produce a Wilson-hacked dark horse who could, make enough accessions to win. Managers for Cox and Palmer when they figured in theso discussions in variably demanded to be shown that their candidates were out of the run ning. Fonrler Representative Carlin, Palmer's chief of staff, refnsod to con cede that the nttorney general could not be nominated, and R. II.

New York's governor was placed before tho Democratic National Con vention yesterday as a candidate for the presidential nomination. Ho will havo tho support of Tammany. There Is talk nlso of naming him as a candidate for second placo on a ticket bended by cx-Spcahcr Champ Clark tlon, but I haven't been Informed as yet that any of the Cox delegates are going to jump." Nevertheless, the report persisted that there was some kind of nn understand ing between the Cox nnd Palmer men. and that the managers of these -andl-dates favored the nomination of any one rather than McAdoo, and they counted the New York and New Jersey delegations as sympathetic with their view. How Leaders' Claims Stack Up Claims of strength for the leaders ranged about this way when tho con vention began business today. Irreconcilable opponents of McAdoo claimed a block of nt Ieost 400 bitter enders who would stand to the last and prevent his nomination. McAdoo leaders claimed to have with in fifty votes of the necessary two thirds and declared they were sure of accessions attracted by their showing of strength, which they were sure would stimulate n "band wagon" movement. In contrast to this the opposition to McAdoo claimed his vote never would exceed 4fi0. They conceded to Palmer 203 votes, which they predicted would stick with tho Pcnnsylvanian through out the opposition to McAdoo. New York was being counted on to cast seventy-five votes of her ninety against McAdoo from beginning to end. and with votes from New Jcrticy, Indiana, the New England states and some others, the MoAdoo opposition counts up about 475 votes against the former secretary, exclusive of the votes in the Cox block. It requires 728 to nominate. Bryan Backing No Man Bryan's help is being counted on in the movement against McAdoo, but up until today, so far as could bo learned, his only answer to overtures hns been that he must for tho present concentrate all his energy on the platform fight. One of the leaders In the opposition to McAdoo epitomized tho situation by snying there was an effort uuder way to Hardingizc the convention, but up to the present moment no Harding could be found. Some of them foresaw pro longed balloting and negotiations be fore an agreement could be reached. Despite the growing organized op position to McAdoo, his supporters ex pressed confidence that he would win before the tenth ballot. They based their assertion on the ground that the opposition was unable to center on any one strong candidate. A break to McAdoo, his supporters say, will begin to come after the second or third ballot, when the favorito sons havo been eliminated. McAdoo's friends want to force con- tlnous ballotlug once it starts, but they expect the t ox adherents will oppose it Davles ns Running Mate Talk on the presidential nomlueo was mixed with n current of discussion as to tho Vice Presidency. Platform dc velopments undoubtedly will influence that question, but discussion turned toward picking n running mate for ale Adoo should he bo "drafted" for scrv ice. Tho name of Joseph E. Davlcs. for mer representative in Congress from Wisconsin and first chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, was sug gested for a McAdoo ticket, as was that of Secretary Meredith. The namo of Victor Murdock, of Nebraska, a leader in the Progressive revolt In Congress, which opened the way for Republican disaster in .iui-', also bobbed up. The discussion of second place with McAdoo continued to emphasize the namo of Governor Cox. At Cox head quarters whispers that the Ohio gov ernor was prepared to accept a second place nomination were resented. DELEGATES JOIN IN ROARING CHORUS Auditorium, San Francisco, July 1. Galleries filled early today for the re sumption of tho Democratic convention. The delegates came raoro slowly, and at 11 o'clock, the hour set for resuming tho session, the floor and delegate spaces, as usual, were only partly tilled with chatting members. The band, the organ and the singers, ns usual, cnter talned tho crowd while things' were waiting to be started. The band went back to some of tho oldtlmc airs that had put the big audi ence in carnivnl spirit. The bandmaster tried "Tho Sidewalks of New York," but tho spirit was lacking, and ho got no response, but when ha switched to his stock demonstration producer, "Dixie," he drew the usual crop of ells. The delegates who were present wanted to talk rathor than como to or der, and f'halrmiiu Rohlnsnii had to do souio vigorous nnd continued whuck ing with the gavel. "Why in the world should It tako n mnn five minutes to sit down?" he re marked to some of his assistants. Sends Pollco Through Aisles After sending tho police through the aisles to clear them, the chnlrmnn got tho delegates seated and called the con vention to order nt 11 :20 o'clock. Bishop Nichols, of tho Episcopal dloceso of Bnu FniHciwo, offered a prayer, con cluding by leading the convention in a recital of the Lord's Prayer. Then tho organ pealed off the "Star Spangled Banner," nnd tho convention chorused ln the straius of tho majestic air, At tho close of the singing Judge Murnskv. of San Francisco, took n place at the speaker's stand and recited the "Rattle Hymn ot tho Republic," while 1110 KlXUl.

Then the audience joined In the roll ing chorus and tho great auditorium was filled to tho very roof with song. Throughout the rendition of the im mortal hymn tho couventlon heard first tho soft-voiocd tones of the man recit ing tho lines with the soft treinblo of the organ, then the echo from the gal lery as the soprano voice joined In nnd sent back the refrain, and then the roaring chorus of the convention. It was an impressive rendition which pulled nt the heartstrings and nroused the firo of patriotism in every heart. At the conclusion of the singing the secretary of the convention continued the cnll of tho roll of states for nomi nating speeches.

Nationalized Education To the Editor nt the Lvenlno i'ublls Ledoer: Sir Your editorial "Nationalized Education," seems to mo to bo a danger ous trend toward centralization a tear that has been openly expressed In many quarters, that wo as a nation are drift ing moro and more every day from state Independence and looking to Washing ton ns tho center from which nil things should cmenate. Admitting for tho sake of argument that tho educational system of the coun try Is loosely organized, "that It 1b a welter of unrelated and inefficient units, and that It functions Inefficiently In moat placeB and falls ln many," are wo ready to accept a theory that by nationaliza tion these loose units can be brought to gether and welded Into a compact body? It sounds good, but unfortunately ex perience, which Is our greatest tcachor, advises caution nnd suggests that we make an analysis and to Inquire u national politics Is airy dlffoient from local politics, and In any discussion of the matter politics cannot be separated or left out of tho discussion. You nlso say that tho "present condition of the schools In this city proves clearly enough thnt a stimulus of some aort Is needed." Are you ready to say that mitlonanzen education 1b the sole remedy? Tho nationalization of education, It seems to me, would place In tho hands of the party In power tho whole school system of tho country, and like nil other departments of tho Federal Governmenv would In tlmo become a great big political machine. Political lnftuenco would affect tho appropriations as well as appointments. Tho schools could oo used to spread tho Ideas favorable to tho dominant party. Take for Illustration the present discussion of the Lenguo of N'atlonB. Were wo at the present time under nationalized system of education and knowing how Bqt President Wilson Is on this subject, . what would pre ent the spreading of hla views on this subject In every school of the country? Aside from this, In the mat ter of tho distribution of appropriations, Is It not reasonablo to nssume thnt the present Bystem of tho distribution of publlo funds Bhould nlso opply under a nationalized educational department? We Phlladelphlans know of tho great ness of our own city, yet why Is It we nro denied, for instance, funds to develop our harbor? Why Is it that all tho an tiquated federal buildings In our city aro not replaced with modern, up-to-date Htructurcs llko othor cltleB? Tho answer Is obvious. Is It not reasonablo to as sume, thoreforo, that with nationalized education our fair city would be as shnmetully treated In. the distribution of pntronago for our educational Institu tions? Standards nnd policies formulated In tho sereno seclusion would bo Imposed without dobate or appeal upon nil In stitutions In all parts of tho United Stntes. Is thero anything moro likely to foster bureaucratic tondencles? With our educational system on a national basis. Is It unlikely that tho next step would bo to nationalize our hospitals, orphan asylums, reformatories and "Nothing Whatever to Say," McAdoo Tells Reporters Huntington, N. Y., July 1.

A PHILADELPHIA TEACHER. Bryan Battling for "Dry" Plank Continued from Fare Ont Inst night and ended with recess at 3:30 this morning. The committee adopted thn labor and several other minor planks, however. Treaty Plank Amended As submitted to the committee, the administration treaty plank according to authoritative statements nrovldod ; "Wo recommended ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations covenant, without reserva tions which would impair its essential integrity." Tho words added by Senator Walsh's amendment were : "But we do not oppose reservations which make more clear or specific our obligations to' tho associated nations." In tho treaty debate Vice President Marshall was reported to have criticized the administration plank becauso dt gave no information to the public re garding what reservations would fall within the class described as not im pairing the covenant's "essential in tegrity." Mr. Marshall was said to hove de clared he would rqthcr go to the coun try with n plank for unnuolified rati- i fication than be asked to define indc- structivo reservations. Chairman Glass, Scnhtor McKellar, of Tennessee, and othor administration chieftains strenuously opnosed the Walsh amendment. Tho significance of its adoption was indicated by sharp assertions from the administration side that it would play into the hands of the Republicans, be regnrded as n, weaken ing of the Democratic position nnd be support for tho position of Republican senators led by Senator Lodge. Some administration spokesmen even de clared, it was said, that it would work to defeat tho party in November, and Senator McKellar was declared to have denounced the Walsh amendment ns the "doctrine of hell." Another administra tion member said it would appear ns If the Democrats were "coming to terms" with tho Republicans. Still another opponent of Senator's Walsh's amend ment said that its defeat was tanta mount to defeating the Lodge reserva tions nnd that if the committee adopted the Walsh addition it "ought to put Sennor Lodge in nomination" here. Pomcrcno Supports Amendment Senator Pomcrcne supported the Walsh amendment, dcclnrlng thnt the treaty hnd delayed peace more than n year and that tho honor of the nation nnd its participation in tho league plan for world peace should rcqulro prompt ratification. He declared tho league was such an advanced and important step toward world peace that it would I be disastrous to ioso the great oppor i tunity by disagreement over reserva tions. I Although Sennton Walsh is said to I have conceded that Article X of the league covenant would be destroved by the Lodge reservations, ho and Senator Pomcreno told tho committee that most if not all othor important features of the lenguo plan still would remain. Sen ator Pomerene incidentally declared he had no npologies to make for his vote for ratification with tho Lodge provisos. The Democrats. Mr. Pomerene de clared, could not justify a position kill ing the treaty. Both he nnd Senator WaNh made It clear that the admin istration plank, plus the Walsh amend ment, did not go ns fnr ns they desired, but would present a better issue to the country. An nssertton by Senator Walsh that without IiIh amendment tho treaty would be lost, and that with it the treaty's ratification would be assured, was met by a statement by former Governor Mc Corkle, of West Virginia, that he was opposed to action for mere expediency. "God helii tho Democrntic party," Govern. ir McCorklo exclaimed. "You will lose tho respect of tho American people." , During the debate Senator Glass nnd Mr. Bryan clashed over Mr. Bryan's published criticism of tho subcommittee ns a "secret" body. When Senator Glass objected to it Mr. Bryan replied that he would use it ngnlu or nuy other word he might choose. Chnlrmnn Carter Glass and other I members refused to give out nuy infor- I mntion concerning any action by the i committee, but it wns indicntcd that, dissatisfied with tho treaty plankap proved, a minority report for nppeal to the convention wns under consideration. The labor plunk adopted declared nguinst compulsory arbitration, but de plored strikes and lockouts and ad vocated that somo peaceable way bo found to settle industrial disputes. Tho committee nlso put its approval on a declaration for legislation which would permit collective bargaining by farmers. As reported by tho subcommittee the Lenguo of Nations plank followed closely that adopted by the Virginia Democrnts. Senator Walsh, of Mon tana, submitted n minority report auJ led the fight ngnlnst tho Virginia pro posal, which had tho backing' of Pres ident Wilson. Bitter Feeling Developed In the debate, which loosed n flood of bitter feeling Seuator Walsh was seconded by Mr. Bryan, Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, and Senntor Pome rene. of Ohio, while tho battle for the administration wns led by Senator Glass, of Virginia, tho committee chair man. Senntor Walsh's minority report provided for a plank pledging the noml ueo of tho convention nnd Democratic senators to mako such concessions as might bo necessary to secure ratifica tion of the treaty. All of those who mwfUd,it told, the couualttcc bluatlf cation might as well be abandoned and wnnt the wiso course wns to compro mise. Mr. Bryan nnd several others wanted modifications of the wording of the Wnlsh plnnk, nnd ns the discussion rnged throughout the night the hopes of mem bers thnt tho question could bo kept off the convention floor diminished. Irish Plank Submitted The Irish piank sunmitted by the subcommittee reiterated In general terms l'residcut Wilson's principle of sell tlon Z I J5Enll,T fir ,"" but ndds n "totcment bf opposition .Vt' r Pii t i .HymPnt.hy fo?'to compulsory arbitration. Favors re '"tL"',!;18: ,'l?,?nr, .."'t ""-ics tf government (icterminatic the nsnlratl suggested that the Irish problem could legitimately be brought later berorc the League of Nntlons. That is unsat isfactory to some of tho commlttco mem bers who' ore making a fight for n plank pledging tho party to rccognlzo the Irish republic. In bis fight against the administra tion's League of Nations plnnk, Sen ntor Walsh declared that, although he had been for the treaty without reserva tions, n year of effort had demonstrated that such a ratification wns Impossible. In the coming campaign, he asserted, the Democrats could not hope to gain enough senators to make up the neces sary two-thirds, and if the administra tion declaration was adopted the coun try might well ask what the Democrats possibly could hopo to do to carry it out. Mr. Bryan argued that the party should not go on record nn opposing reservations to which a mnjority of the senators hnd agreed, but should take the Issue out of the politics by declaring ior an immediate ratiucation compro mise. , High Lights on Platform The Democratic platform, as sub mitted to the full committee, declares for ratification of the peace treaty as n requisite to prcscrvo the honor and in tegrity of thn nation : suggests that tho Irish question can be brought legiti mately before tho League of Nations for settlement, nnd is silent on the subject of prohibition.

OILBEKT) Continued from Titer One him that he will decline to run if nom inated. Ho has strength in every one of the big delegations which the state leaders hoped to head against him. In the demonstration which took place after his nomination, the Illinois banner went about the hnll.

McAdflO.H Rtrcneth in the Missouri delccntldri showed itself in a fight over the standard ' of that state. In the struggle the ban ncr was destroyed. r Will Swing From Palmer In Pennsylvania there nre many del egates who wnnt to vote for Mr, McAdoo as soon ns Palmer is eliminated. New York has McAdoo votes which will come to him after supporting Gov ernor Smith for n while. Tnggart hopes to be senator from Indiana nnd he wishes his stntc's vote to bo cast for the win ncr. It Is Impossible to figure the two thirds vote for McAdoo at present, but tho will of the convention Is pinln. And the weakness of those who seek to dead lock It and prevent McAdoo's nomina tion Is equally obvious. The spirit of tho convention wns ex- traordlnary. The delegates and the gal lcrics did not tire. They were as gay and full of energy nt 0 o'clock on they hnd been when they took their scnts ot 11. They enjoyed themselves' every moment of seven hours of dull orntbrv. This wns partly due to the physical comfort of n co61, well-ventllatcd ball Heat and' bad nlr exhausted the ener-' gics of nil nt Chlcngo. And It 'wns partly due to the music in tho Audi toriuin, which hns a splendid pipe organ. 'For moving mnsses of men, for giving depth nnd volume to the demonstration, nn orgnn js tremendously more effective thnn a bnnd. The orgnn tones .seemed to gather up mm carry with them every body in the hnll. . Bourko Cochran's Magic , A half an hour's outburst of singing, cheering and parading did not become the boresome thing it usually is at conventions. It relieved tho tedium of tiresome speeches nnd long sitting nnd refreshed the spirits. Every great party convention should be held iu n hnll with an orgnn. Without the' organ the extraordinary demonstration In be half of Governor Smith, of New York, would probably not hnvc happened. Governor Smith is merely a favorite son candidate. His church affiliations make his nomination for the presidency In expedient. Ho wns put in nomination mainly to hold the New York delega tion together, or perhaps in tho hope thnt he might be named for tho vice presidency. W. Bourke Cockrnn, n favorite orator of Democratic convene i tions, put him in nomination, his famous voice somewhat spoiled by the metallic system of nmpHflcntlon, which is now used to mnke sneakers heard throughout vast halls, but which causes a voice to sound ns if it came" out of n phonograph. Mr. Cockran told how Governor Smith had risen from being n peddler to being the chief executive of the greatest state in the Union and how even his political opponents bore wit- ness to the fine character of his nd- ministration. But for tho rcliiriniis is sue, Governor Smith would undoubt edly be the nominee of this convention. When Mr. Cockrnn finished, Tammany started waving flags, which every New York delegate carried The great organ boomed out the song, "Tammany, Tammany." And without any one's realizing how it nil happened, every stnto standard on the floor began to move in a procession nbout the hall. It was a scene such ns is only witnessed after n nomination is made, when ovcrybody joins in nnd makes it unani mous. Hnd not n certain disqualification been operating against Governor Smith, no such universal display of admira tion could have taken place nt this stage of the convention. The delegates' committee to other candidates wonjtl have refrained from participating and their banners would have stayed still in their places on the floor. But with the governor not a serious contender everybody could afford to join in show ing him honor and the party delighted to honor him. He is that thing 'which they esteem above all else, a straight party man, who hns mnde good in the eyes of the public without forgetting ' regularity. Moreover, tho delegates wanted to show their sympathy for him In his virtual disqualifying lor nomina tion. J Organized Enthusiasm The Cox demonstration was the other great demonstration of the day. It did not represent as many delegates as did tho earlier display of pumped-up en thusiasm for Attorney General Palmer. But it was more effective than tho Palmer demonstration because it was better organized; In fact, it introduced novelties in organization, un one side of the hnll in the galleries the Cox people had a cheering section for all the world like the cheering section of a college at n football game. In this section were young men wear ing straw hats with red. white and blue hatbands about them. And behind them' sat a red-clad band which had accom panied tho Cox boom from Ohio nnd which hod been marching nbout from hotel to hotel hero convincing the. toyvn of the reality of Cox's chance of nomi nation. In front of tho cheering sec tion was a cheer leader who led ifio singing and music. After Cox had been put in nomination this band broko loose and the 100 per cent American' straw-hatted young men sang the Ohio eong and shouted tho cheer, "Cox, Cox. James Cox." And tho doublo-jolutcd cheer leader, youthful. In shirt and trousers, with ins sleeves rolled up. mounted the speaker's rostrum nnd led. the Cox demonstrators on the floor, where they were soon joined by tho whole Cox cheering section, which de scended from the galleries, red, whlto nnd blue straw hats, red -clad band nnd all. With all tills going nt once and the grent orgnn gripping nt the vitals of the crowd tiie Cox demonstrations was tremendous. It was forced, but It had tho air of not being forced. Thcru were not many votes in it, but it wni good fun until Chairman Robinson's gavel brought it to an end. for that ! W ? I J I .
