, By 11 Stair Correspondent
San Francisco, July 2.- As the sit
tiation Mauds with (lie Pcuii'.Uvnntn
delegation today Attorney General
Palmer has to remain n candidate for
President or lose control of n majority
of his scvcnty-elx votes.
The jmlnute lie releases them from
their caucus pledges to his candidacy
this majority will lioir into line for
McAdoo. The state leader will not
be nblt to swing the delegation to any
other candidate in n block. Notice to
this effect was virtually served on the
attorney general laJe last night as u
result' of n lot of sectional caucuses.
There were meetings of groups otdcle
Bates in informal serious to ifioeusi
the outlook nnd arrive at nomc decision
concerning what would be best for the
interests of the Pennsylvania Democ
racy. The Philadelphia delegate? got
togethtr in one room, the. Allegheny
wen In nuother, the men from the
northern tier in (.till another, and so
on until almost the whole delegation had
been sounded.
This was done by the nction of the
delegates themselves, and uot as u re
milt of a call by State nnd Delegation
Chairman Bruce Sterling. Th" result
showed how surprising! strong McAdoo
was with the I'cnnsylvniiinns ; it con
firmed the forecast sent in these
dispatches yesterday. It mut have
given tho attorney general food for
deep thought nnd is certain to have
a reflection in his course, of nctlmi after
the 'early complimentary balloting.
Once it is seen that Palmer cannot
attract additional strength, the break
will come. The nttorney general is In
a curious position. As one of the lead
ing members of tho Wilson adminis
tration he will iind it awkward to op
pose ony course dictated from the White
House beyond standing as a candidate
for the nomination himself, which, of
course, lie has an unquestioned rlglit
to do. That is where he is on delicate
ground. Ilcport generally credits Palmer
with membership in or nt least mi un
derstanding with the nnti -McAdoo coali
tion, jvhlch includes the old-line bosses
like Murphy, of Tammany ; Taggart. of
Indiana ; Brcnnau. of Illinois, and Cox,
of Ohio.
Word was carried to the group
caucuses that this coalition, including
the votes of Pennsylvania, controlled nt
least 4(M) votes, quire enough to hold
up the McAdoo avalanche if they could
be held together. Hut there's the
pinch. With to ninny members of the
Keystone crowd champing to Hop into
the McAdoo line-up, the likelihood of
maintaining a deadlock over mauy bal
lots seems remote.
Palmer is not going to antagonize the
administration. lie has not done so
at any time during his campaign, and
if the word to jump comes from Wash
ington, it is rnsy to bee where wise
'policy would force him to laud. No
body can criticize him for holding his
delegates to their pledges to him per
sonally as lone as he is ablt. lint
trying to shift thnt solid block of
seventy-six, the tccoml highest state
delegation in the convention, would be
quite u different story.
The Peuu.slvnnians are standing pat
regarding the plntform squabble.
"V'nnce Mcforniick. the Pennsylvania
renrcscntntivc. while nersonnllv n
k-'strong prohibitionist. Is said to be re
jecting the views of l'nlmcr nnd the
majority nction of the caucus in pro-
iernng a noncommittal liquor plunk.
This is what Bryan has termed the
"dodger" attitude, but it is the only
one which can be maintained strategi
cally with a dozen dripping wet dele
gates nnd n lot of damp ones, to 6ay
nothing of a few parched ones.

Continued from I'ner Onp
rules of the game as they play it. Hut
it is doubtful if they ever really ex
pected to prevent his nomination. They
dont want to have nnj thing put over

pcrfectV good and effective hutred.
The cWomU'"! lender quoted above
describeuVthe thing in fervent Anglo
Saxon. Vithout the thing which he
unid the ofkpohition was without, it is
" impossible t cherish und maintain nn
implacable hitred nnd without an im
placable hatriM a trifle more than a
third cf the cofiieutiou is not likelv to
stand long ngitinst a trifle ie.s than
two-thirds of the convention. It is not
hitman nature for it to do o. In place
.of an implacable (hatred, which is, nfter
nll.ydnc of the rarest nf human virtues,
theopposition hah onlv a desire to cet
i-ouare with a mln who has treated it
dyfcspitefully. This probably is uot
yenougn.
And it is weak in another way, too.
It hasnt 0 candidate. Conference after
conference has failed to produce a ian
1. didatc for it. Mr. Tnggart is inter
. csted in Vice President Marshall, but
Isonce Mr. Marshall is disponed of it is
);ot clear that he will not prefer n
scat In tho band wngon to the doubtful
advantage of revenge. The John W.
Davis candidacy for some unexplained
reason has more latent Htrrnutb thun
that of any other dark hore cnudidncv.
Curiously enough this .tienuth extends
to the galleries, where .Mr Davis, as a
personality, must he unknown.
Put how to bent Mr. McAdoo with
Mr, Davis This convention Is not like
tho recent Chicngo convention. Among
the Republicans existed n strong desire
on the part of the majority of the
delegates to get rid of the candidacies
of Wood. Lnwdcn and ,Tohunn. A ma
jority of the convention hail made up
Its mind against each and ecry one of
those candidates. The three had no
special strength and each had his weak
ness. This convention has not made
up its mind against Mr. McAdoo.
On the contrary a majority of the
convention is determined to nominate
him. A majority of the convention is
impressed with the great strength of
McAjloo ns a candidate. It thinks his
strength is so great that it can ignore
his weakness as n bon-in-inw of Pres
ident Wilson.
Such a state of mind on the part of
a majority of the convention is hard
to resist. The determination of the
f, 'majority to nominate is stronger than
the determination nf the minority not
to nominate. The opposition is un
certain. It is bitter, but it probably
Is not bitter enough. It has not raised
any Issue, effective against McAdoo nnd
It lias no candidate against him. It is
in 'U position in which opposition tends
to disintegrate. It may hold together,
but the chances arc against it being
able, to do so.
Less is being heard of the crown-
mined Issue, Evidently tho delegates
finvn made un their minds that Mr. Mc-
Uf-Adoo ,wlth his weakness as 'tho Presl
uvint's son-in-law is stronger than any
raauuniain iney can nominate. ine

Vermont Women Telegraph
Their Thanhs to Harding
SI. Albans, VI., July 2. (Hy A.
P.) Taking notice of press reports
that Governor Clement will call the
Vermont Legislature In speiul ses
sion to make possible ratification of
the woman suffrage amendment, the
Vermont ICqunl Suffrage Associa
tion today sent to Senator Harding
a tclcgrnm snylug:
"Extremely grntlfied at the hnppy
outcome of your conference with
Oocrnor Clement."
The message, which was sent by
Mrs. Lillian II. Olzcndnm, chair
man of the association's committee
011 ratification, expressed confidence
thnt "the special session will give
n splendid vote for ratification."
A somewhat similar message wns
vent to Chairman Will II. Hnys, of
the Republican National Committee.
Platform Draft
Silent on Liquor
Continual from Fnite One
ixpre.ssions of the Democratic party of
sympathy with Irish aspirations for
self-government.
The Armenian plank also expressed
sympathy, but was silent on the ques
tion of acceptance by the United States
of a mandate over that country for
which the President nsked authority of
Congress. Consistent with the con
stitution and American principles, the
committee plank said, the government
should lend "every possible and proper"
aid to the Armenians' effort to set up
a government of their own.
Among other international subjects
touched upon was nouadmlsslon of
Asintic immigrants, declared to be as a
national policy, "n true expression of
the judgnieut of our people." Support
was pledged to states whero enforce
ment of that policy wns of particular
concern.
Hope to Recognize Mexico
The Mexican plnnk asserted that the
administration, remembering In nil cir
cumstances that Mexico was an Inde
pendent state, had been "unwilling
either to profit by the misfortunes of
the people of Mexico or to enfeeble
their future by imposing from the out
side a rule upon their temporarily dis
tracted councils." Order was "grad
ually renppearing" there as a result, it
added, and "nt no time In many years
have Amerirnn lives and interests been
so snfc as they are now."
The new Mexican Government should
be recognized when it had proved its
ability to maintain order, signified its
willingness to meet international ob
ligations and had given foreigners in
Mexico "rights as well ns duties," the
plank continued. It served notice, how
ever, thnt until that time "Mexico
must realize the propriety of n policy
that asserts the right of tho United
States to demand full protection for its
citizens."
On one point throughout the plntform
committeemen apparently were in full
accord. It sharply Indicted the Repub
lican Congress nnd the Republican
party on many counts, including n
warning of "well-defined indications"
of an impending nssault upon "vital
principles" of tho Federal Reserve sys
tem in the event of a Republican victory
in November. The financial plank con
demned "the pernicious nttempt of the
Republican party to create discontent
ninong the holders of the bonds of the
government" and to "drag our public
finance tyid our banking and currency
system back into the arena of party
politics."
Scores "Republican Corruption"
Pniluro to enact tariff revision meas
ures "through sheer political cowardice"
also wns charged against the Republi
cans. Congress having made no move,
it was asserted, "toward n readjust
ment of tax laws which It denounced
before the last election and was nfraid
to revise before the next election."
Claims of Republican public economy
..ere branded as "false pretense," but
the attack on ,tho Republicans reached
its climax in a separate plank devoted
to "Republican corruption."
This section discussed the "shocking
disclosure of the lavish use of money"
by candidates for the Republican presi
dential nomination and "the conviction
of n Republican senator" from Michi
gan, charged with having violated cam
paign expenditure laws, to draw the in
ference that there is indicated "the re
entry, under Republican auspices, of
money as an nilliieiitial factor in elec
tions," und "stem popular rebuke" is
invoked. The Republicans, the plank
adds, control the Senate only by virtue
of the Michigan (lection mentioned.
The platform pledges relief to dis
abled soldier-, hut makes no reference
to the bonus question.

HARDING URGES ACTION

fer the honor of enfranchising the
tvnmnti nf tlm tintlnn In l.n . ttmt
.--..... .,1 nit (turn in tiiut' i'i mill
participation In tho November elections
todny appeared probnble.l The two
parties, the Indications Were, would
work through Legislatures in which
each hns a majority, the Democrats
through the Tennessee Legislature nnd
the Republicans through the Vermont
lawmaking body.
Governor Roberts, of Tennessee, In
response to an npneo.1 from President
Wilson, announced several days ago
that he would call the Legislature of
his state in special session to act on
the federal suffrage amendment.
Governor Clement, of Vermont, nfter
n conference here last night with Sena
tor Ilnrilinc. intlmntcrt he would call
the Vermont Legislature, known to bo
favorable toward the suffrage amend
ment, in session to act on n ratification
resolution.
To Call Tennessee Body
The Teunessee Legislature will be
called to meet August ft, Governor
Roberts Informed the National Wom
an's party last night.
Governor Clement did not state
definitely when the Vermont Legislature
would Mie called, but the impression
prevailed among those informed ns to
his conference with Senator Harding
that the session would be convened nt
nn early date. The Vermont governor,
In n formal statement Issued after his
conference with Mr. Harding, In fact
did not openly state that he contem
plated calling nn extra session, but de
clnrcd that despite his reluctance to
permit a change in the fundamental
iaws without deliberation "thcrs wns
n preponderance of Republican advice
in favor of a special session.'.'
Senator Harding, in n statement Is
sued simultaneously with thnt of Gov
ernor Clement, said the Vormpnt gov
ernor "understands I wns not tres
passing on his nuthority."
Jinny Calls for Vermont to Act
"I have been calling on Senator
Harding." said Governor Clement nt
the conclusion of the conference, "aud
we dlcussed the state of the Union
ngreeably, you can bo sure, nnd we
discussed the suffrage rntlflcntion of
Vermont. Our state Republican, com
mittee convention asked ino to call
the xtra session, Chairman Han has
uvgi'd it on behalf of the national com
mittee, aud many requests havo come
to me from delegations of tho national
convention.
"Naturally, I wanted Senator Hard
ing's views and he suggested an early
call. My reluctance is due to a feel
ing that Vermont prefers to change, tho
fundamental laws very deliberately. We
can only change, our state constitution
by direct appeal to the people and fa
vorable action by the Legislature. We
are reluctant, therefore, to ratify by
a Legislature which was elected at a
time when suffrage was not an issue."
Senator Harding's statement re
garding the conference wns noncommit
tal as to Governor Clement's future
action. Senator Harding said:
"It gnve moan opportunity to sny to
Governor Clement that I was deeply in
terested in the hnal disposition of the
question of ratification," said Senutor
Harding, "and I told the governor
frnnklv that if my ndvice were wanted.
I would be glad to ste Vermont Repub.
licaus close un the urent franchise r-
form. The women throughout the nation I
are deeply interested In the national
campaign and the ratification must be
closed soon if they are universally to
participate in the federal election. I
would be gratified, of course, to havo
Republican Vermont close the gap, but
Governor Clements understands I wn
not trespassing ou his nuthority In
giving him such nn opinion in the course
of our conference."

WHILE LEADERS PARLEY
Dcmocraiic Host, Though Annoyed by Delay, Smilingly Aivaits
Moment When Convention
By Iho Associated Press
San Francisco, July 2. Delegates
nnd crowds were slower than ever In
arriving nt the ntidltorium for the fifth
day's session. When the monster pipe
orgnn began Its recital, thirty min
utes before the hour set for convening,
Its harmony surged out Into nn nlmost
empty aiiaitorium,
for nwhile the organist eonfincd
himself to opcrn, but ns tho crowd be
gnn to gather he switched to a livelier
air anil got some of the early arrivals
singing and whistling. There seemed
to be n holiday spirit In the galleries
and their occupants looked forwnrd to a
real show.
The hour of 10 came nnd went with
hardly a handful of delegates on the
noor nnu with great empty nntches In
the galleries. Only n few of the big
leaders hail come in.
The delegates seemed good-nnturrd
ns they gathered on the convention floor.
despite tho trouble that was brewing
neninu the scenes. Thry tiled In Joking
nnd Jnughing ns they nsked ono another
what the fireworks were going to be
like. Meantime the band, thn organ and
n-iauies- trio Joined In "Smiles."
Ten fifteen saw most of the delegntes
assembled, but on the plntform there
vvas not a sign of the convention officials.
They staved in the background working
out details of procedure with the op
posing leaders. The music kept up, but
the crowd manifestly wns fast losing In
terest in It nnd kept up a rumble of
speculation obout-the coming fight.
At 10:27 Chairman Robinson, Sen
ator Glass nnd Mr. Bryan appeared to
gether on tho plntform nnd there wns n
scattered patter of applause. Some
cheers for Bryan followed from corners
of the galleries nnd there were a lot of
impatient demands that tho convention
get under wny.
"Let's go, let's go!" the crowd
yelled. The blind quieted It by striking
up "Over There."
Apparently the plan of procedure had
not yet been completed nnd Senator
Robinson nnd tho others on the plat
form gathered in a little circle and nut
their heads together, while tho im
patienco of the delegates gathered In tho

on the speaker's table and it went down

hall broke out again In loud demnnds

Thcro wnsN nn outburst of npplnusc
when Senator Robinson presented Sena
tor Glass, who began reading the plat
form. A ripple of applause followcde
the reading of every plank., although
the declarations were not new to many
of the delegates. In the most part they
becamo restless before hc reading wns
hnlf completed. The monotony of the
proceeding apparently was too tnmefor
them nnd they showed In many ways
thnt they were anxious for the floor
fight to begin.
Senator Glass worked hard at the
reading and paused many times to wipe
the perspiration from his face.
"It's a hot Job," he remnrked just
after ho hnd read the agriculture plank.
"It's a hot platform," shouted n
delegate, nnd there wns a rlnple of
laughter and cheering. Wo far the con
vention wns going smoothly enough.
When ho finished the lengu plank,
Senntor Gloss departed from his man
uscript to say:
Jfco much for tho League ot na
tions; nnd my voice, I regret to snv,
Is Impaired from fighting for that dec
laration." Tho remark was answered by ap
plauso from some of the delegates and
spectators. '
Chairman Glass rend the Mexican
plank to some applause. When became
to the Irish plank there was a prelim
inary demonstration by the Irish sym
pathizers 'among the delegates nnd In
the galleries.
"I'll have to read It In my own
brogue," said Chairman Glass to the
accompaniment of a roar of applause
and cheers.
When the applause died down he
added :
"My American brogue.'
There was another wave of applause
to that.
The plank merely expressed sympathy
for tho aspirations of Ireland for self
government Jind made no mention of
recognition of tho Irish republic. It
wns read and passed without any great
demonstration of approval or disap
proval. Shouts of "Okeh" and "good" an
swered the reading of the plank on Ar
menia. thirty minutes on n suspension of thej
rules, uhalrmnn Robinson recognized
Bryan for one hour, and the real fight
stnrted off.
The profiteering plnnk offered by
Bryan proposes the elimination of "un
necessary middlemen," forcing of dis
closure of cost nnd selling price nnd
recommends creation within the states
ot commission similar to the Federal
Trade Commission.
Tho minority report by Tom D.
Lyons, made no mention of n bonus,
but declared for n system of farm and
homo loans for soldiers.
Cheer Rcfcrcnco to League
Galleries and delegates listened at
tentively to Chairman Glass when he
rend the report of the resolutions com
mittee and interrupted the opening ref
erences to President Wilson with hnnd
clapping. At the point where the
plntform declared for the League of
Nations, Senator Glass put the empha
sis on the word "the," nnd the conven
tion stood up nnd cheered for a min
ute whilo the band struck up a rollick

reading there was another demonstrn

the
words of the platform.
One of tho biggest demonstrations
wns given tho suffrage plank, cabling on
the legislatures of three southern Dem
ocratic states to ratify he suffrago
amendment. Led by the women dele
gates, virtually every one on tho con
vention floor got to their feet nnd
cheered, whilo the standards of Ten
nessee, Florida nnd Nortlf Cnrollnn, the
three stntes specifically named In the
appeal for ratification, were carried to
the speakers' stnnd nnd held high up
before the delegates.
Soon nearly every other standard
was brought up and put Into the cluster
while the bnnd played "Oh, You Beau
tiful Doll."
Scramble Over Standards
There wns n disagreement over both
tho New Jersey and Louisiana stand
ards, but nfter n little shoving nnd
tussling both of them were carried out
ol place and put with others up In
front.
Mrs. John Sherwln Crosby, of New
York, got tho Louisiana standard
started forward over tho protest of some
of the Louisiana delegates, but after she
had carried It a little way a man took It
and put It into place with the big as
semblage around the platform.

the standards Joined wns orgnnizcd
when tho demonstration had been going
for llvo minutes. The marchers tramped
around the hall to the tune of "There'll
Be n Hot Time In the Old Town To
nieht" and then the organ drouned Into
"Smiles" and most ot those on tba floor
took up the words of the song.
It wns n thlrtcen-mlnutc demonstrn
tion when it had concluded, but the suf
frago leaders dccllncdto regard it as a
bad omen.
There wns some more hurrahing a few
minutes Inter when Senator Glass, nt
the end of the long list of tilings the
party proposed to do for women, said
aside to those near tho platform:
"If we have omitted anything, we
mean thnt, too."
One of the nlnns considered in the
back-stnge conference of leaders was a
suggestion that nil debate on the plat
forms be limited to three hours nnd that
balloting for a presidential candidate
should follow its conclusion. There was
somo objection, howover, and the con
sultations failed to bring immediate.
fruit.
Plan for Test Ballots
Votintr for n presidential nominee will
begin immediately after tho platform Is
adopted unless a recess intervenes to
permit tho delegates to refresh them
selves. There is talk of taking one or
two ballots so ns to get the line-up
of the delegates, and then take a recess
in order to allow the various managers
of candidates time to plan for the final
drive.
B.ilnbridco Colby, secretary of state.
will present the committee managers'
side of the prohibition debate.
The McAdoo boomers continue to
strengthen their line-up.
There were intimations nf the con
vention being packed at last night's
session, with an eye to the possibilities
of n stampede.
Cox forces, while sure of their dele
gates standing firm, acknowledged that
they hnd not been fortunate In mnk
ing accessions, nnd among the Palmer
delegntes the McAdoo people were
counting on additions to their candi
date os a second choice.
The McAdoo boomers were so confi
dent of their position as to predict a
nomination for him on the fifth ballot,
if not before.
Stories of whole blocks of tickets
disappearing have been current, and
nt last night's session, although the
convention hnll was packed, moro than
fiOOO people with properly Issued
tickets could not get in. How their
places came to be filled by others was
not explained.

TO DECIDE TAX BOARD SEAT
Attorney General of New Jersey Is
Asked to Give Ruling
Trenton, July 2. When the state
tax and assessment board met yester
day, there was a clash between Isaac
Bnrbcr, formerly senator, of Phillips
burg, nnd Alonto D. Hcrrick, of Haek
ettstown, as to which was entitled to
membership In the bonrd. By resolution
of tho board tho question was referred
to the attorney general for nn opinion.
The confusion at to membership dates
back to 1018 when Governor Edge ap
pointed Mr. Ilcrrick nnd Harry Mutch
ler, both Jor full terms. The fact was
that one of the annolntmcnts should
have been to fill the unexpired term
of Frank B. Jess, of Camden, who re
signed as a member to become presi
dent of the board, to which position
he was appointed by Governor Edge.
Governor Edwnrdn nominated Doctor
Barber to succeed Mr. Herrlck, who In
sists he is entitled to nerve out the
full term for which he was appointed.
Mr. Herriel; Is unnble to see why he
should have been selected by Governor
Edwards instead of Mr. Mutchlcr ns tho
appointee for the short term.
