nv r.F.nnr.E NOX McCAIN
The flrrt six months of thr adminis
tration of Mayor Mooro are uow n
feiatter of history.
It la a history that has been made
Jn the open and before the eyes of all
the people.'
In vlow of the conditions under which
the Mayor came Into power It Is both
interesting and Illuminating.
With the massed opposition of n
powerful combine arrayed agalnsfcOjlnu
with a city Council operating on the
xsrrowest majority possible and often
opposing his plans and propositions a
review of the achievements of his ad
ministration as seen by himself is a
mightily interesting leaf out of the cur,
xent of municipal official life.
"The outstanding political as well as
economic feature of the present ad
ministration," said the Mayor, "was
that the grip of the old contractor ma
chine was broken at the outset. We
shall hear less and less of it as the
months and years go by.
City Jobholders Out of Polities
"Another, and T think It Is one of
the crowning achievements of the
past half year, is that the policemen,
firemen and other officeholders are out
of'polittcsT Ofcourse, it was a mandate
of the new charter, but Its nrovlsions in
lj"tliis respect have been obeyed. As a
result no political assessments were
levied during the last campaign upon
any of these men."
The Mayor took tip the matter of his
pre-election promise to policemen and
firemen in regard to increased wages.
He hod fixed $5 a day as a minimum,
but the condition of the city finances,
a legacy from the preceding Vare-Smith
administration, would not permit of the
additional expenditure.
The policemen are now receiving
54.351 day flat. Instead of the old $3.1)0
a day with a $70 bonus. Tho latter
has boon eliminated.
"If n nnliremnn trncn on rVin roMreil
lljt Jils pension is now computed at.
... instead ot $;i.ou a uay, winch is
quite an item In tho aggregate," ex
plained the Mayor. "I am pledged to
?" a day pay for these faithful city em
ployes and in the new budget that
amount will be included."
"An entirely new municipal enter
prise from which I expect the most sat
Jfactnry results is the municipal
asphalt plant. It will save the city
money and will .facilitate the rapid ic
pair of our streets.
Can Get on Job Quickly
"Heretofore where a break was dis
closed on one of our much-traveled
downtown streets it had grown to rlan -geinus
proportions by the time bids
eonld he taken and arrangements made'
ir repairs. With our own asphalt
I'lnn in operation, the man can be on
tho job and the repairs mode In it few
hmirs. Itesldes. It twill snvo the m
nlnpnllty large sums every year."
It is a well-known foct that for
works after his election the Mayor aro.e
at the most unusunl hours of the morn
ing and fared forth to examine the
condition of the city's thoroughfares
when Uicy were deserted. Mnrket

Auditorium, San Francisco, July
3. (By A. P.) President Wilson's
reply to the mesnge of appreciation
sent by the Democratic National
Convention was received today. It
follows :
"It was with the most grateful
appreciation that I received the mes
sage from th convention so kindly
transmitted by you. It Is a source
of profound pride with me to" re
ceive such an evidence of the con
fidence of the grcnt party which
derives Its principles direct nnd un
tainted' from the founders of the
republic who promised the world
the counsel and leadership of the
free people of the United States in
all matters that affneted human
liberty and the justice of law.
"That promise wc deliberately re
newed when we entered the grcnt
war for human freedom and we
now keep faith with those who died
in Flanders fields to redeem It.
"That I should have been ac
corded leadership In such great mut
ters fills my heart with gratitude
and pride and the course the party
has taken fills me with a perfect
confidence that It will go from vic
tory to victory until the true tra
ditions of the republic are vindi
cated and the world convinced not
only of our strength and powers,
but of our Integrity nnd our devo
tion to the highest idenls.
"This Is a conquering purpose nnd
nothing can defeat It.

Bold Bid for Progressive Votes Explains Plat
form and Appointment of Colby to Cabinet
Party Ignores Old Dogmas
By DAVID
Editorial comment on tlir Ilemorrntlc pint
by the editor of the. Kv
San Francisco, July .'1. The Demo
cratic platform is a bold bid for the
progressive vote. It is an invitation to
every liberal in the country to come
into tho party ranks. In ninny re
spects it is likely to become historic
for Its departures from traditional
bourbonism and the stolid renctlonary
ism of the solid South.
Topic nfter topic reveals this fact.
Nobody familiar with the course of the
Democratic party since the Civil War
can read the platform adopted after
three dajR and nights of travail and
strain in committee, and four hours of
stormy debnte on the floor, without rec
ognizing the effort to turn the eyes of
the party from sectionalism of the past
toward a broader nationnl nnd inter
national vision of the future.
The reason for President Wilson's
unprecedented nnd nt the time puzzling
appointment of Bninbrldgc Colby as
secretary of state now becomes clear.
While it was suspected as a move to
placate the men who hod followed and
shouted progressivism with Colby In
1012 nnd 1010, It was not expected that
he would be such a potent factor in dic
tating policies this year. Perhaps
"dictating" Is too strong a word to
describe Colby's part here, and "in
fluencing" would be better. But
whether he is responsible primarily or
as agent for President Wilson, there
Is no doubt about the outcome.

Yankee Pitcher and Bryan
Hayes Shake Hands and
Step Back All Even
TWIRLS AGAINST OUR A'S
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL,
The great argument, entitled Hayes
vs. Mays, has been settled.
Carl Mays, of New York, met Bryan
Hayes, of Philadelphia, in a one-round
talking contest this nfternoon and nt
the cud It wns the consensus of opinion
that it wns a good draw.
The battle by rounds follows:
Mays was first to enter the ring,
which was pitched In Connie Mack's
private office in Shibe Tnrk. He looked
the picture of health and wild he had
trained fajthfully for the event. He
was seconded by Miller Huggins nnd
Sam Crane, of New York.
Five minutes later Bryan Hayes
made his appearance. He had just
"inio in off the road and Billy Richard
son, the referee, acted ns guide and
pacemaker. Hayes was seconded bv
Bnder, mayor of, Atlantic City, nnd
Lawyer Somers. who looks nfter lr;r:il
affairs.
This was the setting for the" public
apology to he mnde by Mays in pri
vate because on Decorntion Day. 10111.
Carl threw a baseball Into the crowded
grandstand and bounced off the bean
of nn innocent stiectntor who happened
to lie Hayes. His fresh Mackin was
shattered and then Haves decided to
swear out a warrant. This was done.
As n result Mays did not nppear here
any more. When the club mndo Its
customary visit Carl was told to take
a vacation becuuso If he didn't he had
a swell chance to learn all about the
interior decorations in tho hoosegow.
Time passed as only time can pass
and Bryan Hayes, who is a fairm'Iiiiled
sportsmnn; snidjie would oall every
thing off if Mays would apologize. That
brings us back to the plot of the ston .
Both, men left their corners (milling.
Heferoc Hichnrdson said a few words,
which consisted of the following:
'Everybody makes n mistake some
time in his life, but when that happens
the -only thing to do Is find the man
wJiom you have imposed upon, shake
hands and say jou are sorrv; that's
what is to be done todnv. Mr. Muvs

"No, sir," replied Mr. Mus po

"I made a mistake," said Mavs. "and

heat of passion and now 1 want to
apologize to Mr. Hayes.'
"It Is n generous thing fnr Mr. Hayes
to do In dropping the case against mo
nnd I want to say I nin grateful."
Hayes then led off and finished witli
this:
"I accept your apology, .Mr. jjajs,
and from now on the Incident Is
closed.

shook hands with each other and the
great case, entitled Hayes vs. Mays,

FIRE HAS BEEN STARTED

Pennsylvanian, For cod Into
Anti-Administration Ranks,
Shows Weakness Early
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Copvrtoht, USD, 01 FubHo Ltdaer Co.
Sun Francisco, July 3. Picking of
the Democratic candidate for President
went on In conferences at the hotels
last night. The convention ndjourned
suddenly nfter two ballots at 0 o'clock
in order to give Mic leaders a chance to
reach an ngrceracnt. The leaders wanted
this chance.
The motion to adjourn after the
second ballot came from the antl-Mc-Adoo
group, Mr. Fitzgerald, of New
York, making It.
But Mr. McAdoo's supporters did
not oppose it. They evidently did not
have the confidence In their own
strength to go ahead and force the vot
ing during the night until a nomina
tion was made or a deadlock reached.
Both Sides Lacked Confidence
Nor did the other side show any
greater confidence. If they had felt sure
of stopping McAdoo they would have
had two or three more ballots to prove
to the leading candidate that he could
not gain, nnd then would have called
for an adjournment to pick a substitute
for him.
As matters stood the opposition
leaders wero afraid and the McAdoo
supporters did not dare. And although
the roar of noes easily exceeded tho
bleat of" ayes when Mr. Fitzgerald's
notion to adjourn was put. Chairman
Robinson's ruling that the ayes had it
brought no protests.
No one asked for a rollcall. Every
one hurried away from the ten -hour
session to give the lenders time to
mnke terms with McAdoo or agree upon
plans to defeat htm.
Moral Advantage With McAdoo
Tho moral advantage of tho two
early ballots was with McAdoo. Ho
proved stronger in the first voting than
had been expected and his opponents
weaker. He led the field, the rather
large field, of Democratic candidates ou
both ballots. The vote of the three
leaders on the first ballot' was:
McAdoo. 200; Palmer. 2."0; Cox,
1,",4; and on the second, McAdoo, 289;
Palmer. 201; Cox, 15!). It had been
expected that Palmer would develop
about 300 votes and lead on the first
two and perhaps even on tho first three
ballots.
But McAdoo's stepping nt once into
first place as a candidate meant little
or nothing. He disclosed no strength
that was not known to bo his; his vote
merely coming to him a little sooner
tliun was expected.
Afraid to Fight It Out
It did not Inspire his managers with
sudi confidence that they wanted to fight
it out at once.
Tho lenders of the opposition say
that they can see only 100 more votes
foi McAdoo than he got on the second
ballot, but thev wero not ready to
demonstrate his limit's by having two
or three more ballots.
If they con HI have shown last night
that McAdoo, after four or five ballots,
had lesa than 400 votes they might hnve
adjourned with confidence of picking
some other candidate than he in the
night's conference.
And the truth is that neither they
nor the McAdoo people felt at all sure,
though the latter uro iu tho btrongcr
position.

The McAdoo supporters had, dur

Total delegates. 1004.

By the Associated Press
Auditorium, San Francisco, July S.
The Democratic National Convention
cast its third ballot for a presidential
candidate today without making1'- a
choice.
There was no break to any candidate
on the ballot and there was but little
change in the standing of the candi
dates. The convention was called to order
by Chairman Robinson at 0 :45 o'clock. '
A message from President Wilson was
rtad and then the roll call began. Jn
Alabama, the first tate called. Palmer
lost two votes to McAdoo.
Slow in Starting
The chiefs of the McAdoo, Palmer
and Cox forces conferred constantly
throughout the night and during the
early morning almost up to the hour of
the meeting of the convention. At 0:30
o'clock, the hour set for reconvening,
the emptiness of the convention hall re
flected the sleeplessness of the night for
niders nnd delegates, for all were slow
In arriving.
Despite that it was the last day of
the convention, if plaus did not mis
carry and every one was trying to speed
up, it was a slow start. The band and
organ filled in during the wait.
And the favorite air for the band
boomed to be "I'm Forever Wowing
Bubbles." Hvery one of the enthusi
asts seemed to feel that the air was
particularly appropriate for the other
fellow. There certainly was a crop of
bubbles being blown in the convention
for somebody, but nobody was wise
enough to forecast whose bubbles were
going to burst today.
Conference After Conference
There was conference after confer
ence on the floor as leaders and dele
gates came In. but apparently they were
fruitless and to all outward evidences
the convention stood exactly where it
did at the close of the second ballot
last night; there was not a man on the
floor who could show any evidence to
support his prediction of what was going
to happen today.
At 0 :45 o'clock Chairman Itobinson
was on the platform with others of
the convention ninnagers nnd the dele
gates' spaces were filled. The .chair
man then called the convention to order.
Before the roll call of the states was
resumed, Chairman CiiihiniiigM read to
the convention n telegram from Presi
dent Wilson.
The message predicted that the
Democratic party would go from vie-
tory to victory and declared nothing
could defent its conquering purpose.
Just ns Harding's name tilled the alr'"
as the probable Uepublirnn nominee,
three weeks ago this morning, on tho
linnl dny of the Republican convention,
so William (J. McAdoo's appeared to
be in the nsceudcucy today with tills
difference that the Ohio candidate had
been agreed upon by the eleintits In
