It had the effect of satisfying all the potent factors of the party counsels, eveu though the ad ministration would rather have left it out since it did not originate in the White House, and ideas not emanating from that source have been like home less orphans out here. As a way of letting down easily the twenty -one Democrats who finally voted for rati fication of the treaty with the Lodge reservations rather than ve it com pletely defeated as Mr. AVilson'a stubbornness compelled. It was a far cleverer stratagem than the inane phrase of tbe Chicago plank praising the action of the Republican senators indiscriminately, though they were dia metrically apart in their attitudes. Incidentally the clause opens the way for graceful acceptance by the party and Mr. Wilson of ratification with compromise reservations. The effect of this pronouncement ought to be to call forth a fearless and ringing announcement from Sena tor Harding in accordance with the position be personally assumed as a re visionist in favor of ratifying the treaty.

Leaders in the Empire state delegation, however, would not discuss this except to say they would stick to their governor until further notice. Big Crowd on Hand Another big crowd was on hand to watch the delegates pick the party's nominees, the final act of the convention which has been in session six tinys. While predictions of n McAdoo vie tory on an early ballot fill the nir they are accompanied by a desperate stiffen ing of resistance against his nomina tion. McAdoo or Cox and McAdoo and Cox were the leading predictions, coupled with talk of McAdoo and Merc tilth. On the other hand the forces pitted against McAdoo pointed out in answer to the claims of a "glacier movement" toward President Wilson's son-in-law that be had failed in the three ballots already taken to make the gains that were claimed for him. The night was given over to confer ences and planning among the field marshals of the opposing forces. Efforts: to find u Harding for the San Fran cisco convention had been unavailing, but despite the fact that the movement in opposition to McAdoo bad failed to produce a rallying point, or to "coal esce." ns Its enemies declared, tho op position was still there, seemingly of formidable proportions. While it did seem to offer no slate for beating McAdoo, still it continued to occupy a position where tbe McAdoo forces had produced no tangible plan for beating it. McAdoo Leaders I.arh Authority One consideration which seemed to make it difficult for the anti-McAdoo forces to make progress was that there was no wav to trade McAdoo out of his position bv direct methods, ns none of the men in charge of his campaign here had nn.v authority nnd there was nothing to be offered him in way of a place thnt would interest him. The McAdoo -ippeol was today being directed to larger states, such as New York. Pennsylvania and Illinois, nnd much missionarj work was being done. .New loi-K was the greatest stum bling block. McAdoo supporters in the Xew York delegation faid to number anywhere from fifteen to thirty, did nothing in the opening ballots to antagonize the Tamman.v leaders. 'lhey voted solidlv for Governor Smith This situation, it was pointed out. gave all outside appearunce of Murphy being in control. Another consideration being capital ized by the McAdoo supporters was that Sunday and Monday are holidays and the tired delegates want to start home. A group of McAdoo delegates, de clared by McAdoo supporters to rep resent more than fnough votes to block the convention, at a meeting last night pledged themselves to vote indefinitely for their candidate regardless of any turn the convention might take. EDWARDS STANDS PAT Believes Convention Will Act on His "Personal Liberty" Stand Sea Girt. X. J., July 3. With news of the result of the first ballot at the Democratic Xational Convention in hand. Governor Edwards this morning decided to stand pat for the present. Xo word has been received from his supporters m the far West, and no mes-age has been sent to them. The gov n nor said he was surprised that he stood fifth on the first ballot, in view of the failure of the convention to put a wet plank in the platform. He still believes the convention will nomi nate a candidate who will take a firm stand one wav or another on bis per sonal libortv .stund and it was evident from this conversation this morning that he doubts whether ony of the three leading figures in the convention. Mc doo Co and Palmer, will be named He apparently thinks a dark horse se lection Is jot tn be made, but would not discuss bis personal chances With James R Xugent, of Essex countv. leaving San Francisco after his failure to force a wet plank into the platform, the Xew Jersey delegation will keep in close touch "with Governor Edwards here, It is understood.

(UMir.HT) Continued fr0m Taut One on the camp of the opposition. Mc Adoo has become definitely the admin istration candidate. Mitchell Palmer is forced into the opposition. Palmer's weakness as a candidate was demonstrated on the early ballots. He fell fnr short of the vote he had been expected to obtnin And ns n member of the President's cabiuet lie ennnot long occupy the position of co operating with the opposition to the administration. Moreover, his own Pennsylvania delegation is aninus to go over to the suppoit of the adminis trntion candidate, Mr McAdoo. A fire has been built under Mr. Mitchell Palmer. Take Mr. McAdno's other chief rival. Governor Cox. His weakness with only 134 votes on the first ballot and l.'ft on the second has been plainly shown. It Is believed that McAdoo malingers will offer Governor Cox second place on the ticket with Mr. McAdoo. and that Governor Cox will accept it. Boss Taggart Mnrklng Time Furthermore. Mr McAdoo may make Inroads into the forces of the opposi tion nt other points. Bo's Taggnrt. of Indiana. . doet not think well of his prospects of election as senator, if by his nctions here, and in Chicago, he gets the anti-administration stamp upon himself.. At present he Is doing the perfectly innocent thing of supporting his state's favorite son. Vice- President Marshall. So long as he Is supporting a favorite son, his conduct is politically exemplary nnd nbove reproach. But when it becomes necessary to make n choice of supporting Mr, Mc Adoo or the opposition. Mr. Taggart will have to be shown that Mr, Mc Adoo is stopped or lie will be the best little administration man of them all and throw Indiana's vote to McAdoo. Indiana's going to McAdoo, or Penn sylvania's going to McAdoo, or Ohio's going to McAdoo is likely to start the rush that will lead to his nomination. Administration Convention It is an administration convention. It may pay splendid personal tributes to Mr. Bryan, but it votes overwhelmlnglv for the administration against him. It cast only oue vote for Mr. Bryan's queer plank favoring a government publica tion in which political candidates should air their views. And it onl.v cast a few more than that for Mr. Bryan's prompt ratification of the league covenant with reservations plunk. It gave him a tiemendous and spon taneous ovation when he finished his eloquent speech in behalf of his dry plank, one of the most eloquent speeches of his career, nn ovation in which the standards of all the states except a few' very wet ones like Xew York and Xew Jersey were carried in front of tho platform in Brjnn's honor. But a few moments later it gave him onl.v a few votes, IB." in fact, for his dry plank, although a majority of the convention is dry. Bread-and-Butter Votes Cast The convention is not bossed, nt least there is no perceptible bossing. It votes with the administration for brend-and-butter reasons. It contains ofilccholdeis. It counts its chance of success rs dependent upon supporting the ad ministration. The fact that Mr. McAdoo. without any sign from the White House, figures in every one's mind as the administration, is the strongest reason for his nomination. The Democratic convention is the greatest show on earth. Xothing like the debate on the platform yesterday afternoon has been staged by either party in u long time. Fight Made in Open The divisions in the Democracy on booze, the League of Nations, on Ireland antl on every pet idea of Mr. Bryan's were brought out in the open antl discussed before the free Demo crats in the auditorium assembled, the free Democrats being left to make their choice for themselves between Mr. Bryan's leadership and Mr. Wilson's. The occasion was brilliant. If Mr. Bryan had a powerful nnd sane intel lect along with his marvelous voice, his tremendous personality, his deep and abiding perception of the moral veri ties, he would be a very great man. But he hasn't and he is only a great moral showman, a political P. T. Barnum, differing from the circus producer only in rejecting the cvnlcal dictum that the people like to be fooled, Bryan gave a great show yesterday. It was a tremendous movie of virtue defying the powers of evil. The rich and powerful voice, undermined by the passing of twenty -four years since first it rang out against the cross of gold and crown of thorns, unrestricted by the fat which is being deposited about the chamber from which it comes, required no mechanical aid to fill the immense hall Mr. Bryan broke free from the great starfish of tin horns over the rostrum which carries the speaker's voice to the remote galleries lie did not have to stand in one spot for fear of getting out of favor with the great starfish and causing strange bellowings to echo through the tin monster. Was Able to Bait Tammany He could go to the front of the plat form and bait evil lu thu person of the Tammany delegation, defying it to show that It bad ever opposed the saloon until after prohibition hud been estab lished by constitutional amendment. The whole Tammany delegation rote and in sisted that it had been the only and original opponent of the saloou, Miss Elizabeth Morbuiy seizing some Tam many delegate's straw hot and waving it defiantly at virtue upon the plat form. Mr. Bryan passed lightly from the sauclnesa of Miss Marbury to a compari son of himself, to Hhf Bjophat Elijah and XI how MlkLAaKb1" tho veil ' r itmmif-'- . t and showed tho higher powers fighting upon the sltlo of Israeli Then Mr, Bryan drew back the veil, revealing the women and children fighting on bis side , and that of prohibition. He sat down after ono of his most striking perorations nnd one of his most dramatic speeches. And he was erected hv the most spontaneous and the great est demonstration ot the convention. one not aided by music or cucerlcad ing. There was a let of Armageddon spirit of the progressive convention of 1U12. These Democrats are likely to stnrt out, and sing "Onward. Christian Soldiers," at any minute. They hnvc followed so long the Old Testament leadership of Mr. Brvan, they have been so Impressed with the mornl earnestness of Presi dent Wilson, thev have fallen under the influence of women to uu extent that Republicans have not. Their emotional reactions are much quicker, keener than those of their rivals. They still have in them the crushing spirit which Presi dent Wilson invoked in the whole world bv his advocacy of the League of Xa tions. I Among them it is no mistake to soy ! that a peace that will end all war Is n vital nope, net ODScurea oy tne cynic ism which has chnnged the heart of so much of the world. The League of Xations Is to them n real issue on which they have no doubts. Bryan can play upon their emotions like n Billy Sunday before n lot of people waiting to hit the cinder trail', but they stick to the true faith "the political evangel of Wilson." nnd they Intend to nomi nate a Wilson candidate, divining the renl desires of the White House with out waiting to be told. Mayor Reviews 6 M.onths Progress Continued from t'nee On tions work had commenced when the era of vastly inflated prices for labor nnd material set In. It was decided to complete this portion of the work and then wait the inevitable reduction thnt must come In cost of material be fore proceeding further with the ac cepted plan. Civil Service Classified "Classification of the civil service which we hnve established Is n great nnd needed reform." the Mayor further "" cuy. ivvery cmin urougnr against explained. "When It Is completed It the municipality for damages is Inves-vv-lll standardize the work of thousands gated, and nil the facts brought to of citv emploves nnd equalize wages. , . It is no longer possible to put We shall 'classify all departmis and over J shady or fraudulent olnir .and all of the county offices tiiat win suu mlt tn classification." To understand just what this means it should be known that wages for the same class of city employes varied In different departments. It wns n regu lar plgs-in-clover puzzle. Tho new charter provided for reclassification and the work was undertaken by Grif fenhngen & Associates ond is still in progress. ruder the new sjstem the wages of carpenters, watchmen, stenographers. etc.. will be unirorm mrougnout mo departments. ' "We nrc, going ahead with our plans and estimates, looking to the work of the city taking over the ash and rubbish collection nnd the cleaning of the streets." the Mayor went on. taking a new tacit in the interview. "I shall have a report on the subject of how this is done In other American munici palities lu n short time. I hove had investigntors gathering nil available data. Later on I may have something very definite to say on this matter." What the Mayor referred to was the tour of Chief Morden. of the bureau of street cleaning, undertaken recently. He wns accompanied by one of the engineers of the Department of Public Works nnd on expert furnished by the bureau of municipal research. One of the keynote declarations of Mayor Moore during his primary cam paign was his determination ' to break the strangle bold of the contractor com bine in street clenuing. His statement was gratifying evidence that the matter Is still uppermost in his mind : evidence thnt he proposes to carry tho charter provision and his promises to comple tion. Work on Frankford "L" "I desire to direct attention to tho work of the administration in the mat ter of the Frankford 'L'," snid Mr. Moore. "Through great discourage ment and repented disappointments I have kept eonstuntlv before me the ono idea that the road must be put into operation in the shortest possible time. "In our attempts to make contracts for rails we sufferer interference from the railroad administration. I finallv overcame this. We have let contract's for the stations, and shall soon open bids for u $4.0n0,n00 loan to complete the work. "Xegotiatlons. ns evervbodv knows, are in progress with the Rapid Transit Co. for the operation of the road. All in nil, I think the verv best has been done thnt could be done, considering nil the circumstances. The administration has fought to secure everv ndvantago for the cit.v, ond particularly for the northeastern section, and shall continue to do so. "In this some connection are the projected lines nlong Roosevelt boule vard and other thoroughfares, which will be feeders frr some of the greatest industrial enterprises in Philadelphia; the Sears, Roebuck & Co.'s plant ond the Klectrlc Storage Battery are con tiguous to these extensions. ' "Two million dollars' worth of con tracts have been let for the improvement and extension of our water svstexn," continued the Mavnr. "It is in line with mv desire to ctve thn cltv ni nrlo. quote and pure-vvater stipplv. Much of this money has been spent for im provements ana replacements in ma chinery. "There is under advisement at this moment the question of a commission of experts to undertake a complete survey of our water supply and to examine and report upon an expansion of the pres ent system, with a new and greater field w,i,nbl' " h'.Pw,,s f th0 cl in th0 years to come. There is one episode in connection with the Water Bureau that concerns the Mayor poi6onnlv, as well as offl clolly. Governor Coolldge, of Massachusetts, was mado the vice presidential nomi nee largely on the basis of the fight he made and the defiance lu launched against the police strikers of Boston. And yet Major Moore went tho gov ernor one better and there were merely a few brief newspaper lines to give the bare farts. A few months ago a delegation of water bureau employes, members of the union, called on the Mayor aud de manded an increase of wages. The Mayor tolked to the men and explained the impossibility of granting the re quest at that time. Ho expressed himself in favor of a rise nil around, but told how the city was handicapped by lack of funds. There were statements then mado by some of the men that unless a rise was given the employes would striko and thus cut off the city's water. Instantly tho Mn.vor replied, firmly and brleilv, after pointing out the dan ger and disaster that would follow the shutdown of the water system w Ith the announcement thnt no matter what tho men did the .water pumping stntions would be kept running and that no man who struck would ever get back in the city's service as long as he was Mayor. No Genera! Striko Although a few men walked out there was no general strike, and the number of employes involved was three or four times as many as the policemen who truck jn Postoi,, Tho courageous ae- What Moore Regime Has Done Hi 6 Monfts Policemen, firemen ond office holders out of politics.

Purchase of $300,000 worth of new motor fire npparatus. tion of the Mayor ended what' might have turned out to be a crisis in the city's affairs. , "Kvery possible means has been de vised to prevent waste of the taxpayers' money," the Mayor said further. "By improving the Chestnut street pier so that it can be utilized, in part, as of fices for the Department of Wharves, Dorks and Kerrles. we will "nvp an an nual rental of $10,000 now paid for quarters elsewhere. "We are advertising the city's advan tages as the finest port In the United States. Wo are negotiating for more piers nnd pier spoce. Tho commerce of the port Is greater now than ever in Its history. "These are some of the major thirgs we havo undertaken. Of the in(nor matters thnt attract little attention, but which are big in their way. is the conversion of Brown's Farm into n homo for indigent children. It is n great step forward in the care of these helpless little wards of the city,. "The ofgnnlzation of a bureau of claims- in the city .solicitor's office has already saved thousands of dollars to collect on It. There was never such nn official scrutiny. . Conducted Like a Big Corporation "Still further along that Hue." con tinued the Mayor, "is the new rule that every attorney handling damage and claim cases must mnke n report on it to the city solicitor himself. The city so licitor's office Is run on the principle of a big corporation and with the snme at tention to detail in the city's interest." While the Mayor did not refer to the snbjert directly it is asserted with the utmost positlveness that there is less gambling in Philadelphia nt present than nt any other period In the last ten years. "Within the Inst few days 1 have signed contracts for tho repaving of Ridge avenue, from Lament street to tho Montgomery county line. We nro preparing plans for the extension of the city's sewerage system, and hnve opened streets in various sections of the city to permit of greater building nnd housing facilities ; nil of which follows upon my expressed purpose to do all po'ssible in that direction." There will be n new loan asked for this fall of $0,000,000, for the pressing necessities of the city nnd a share of this will go to still greater extension of the sewerage and water systems. Xew parks and breathing snots for the people will also come in fdr a shore of it. In past years it was difficult to se cure more than two or three bids for supplies for the cit.v. It was the result of an established belief among business firms thnt favoritism was practiced to an extent thnt barred all but the few. Today, with an expert in charge of the department, and on the basis of the square deal, scores of bids are sub mitted,, where the few was tbe rule in tbo past. Wasto of Money to Rush Now Throughout the interview the Mayor emphasized, in matters demanding the expcndituio of the city's money for new contracts for building and other city improvements, the necessity for going slowly. His idea Is that it is n waste of public money to rush ahend and pay exorbitant prices, in contracts, when a little later the same results will bo at tained at far less cost. Where, however, the need is immedi ate and imperative, as in the matter of new fire npparatus, for which $300,000 has been appropriated for motor-driven vehicles to replace the antiquated horse drawn apparatus, delay, despite the in creased cost, would be disastrous. "Ono other innovation." snid the Mayor in concluding his talk, "which will bo of pronounced valuo to many of our people is the establishment of a bureau of legal aid. Attorneys nnd in vestigators will be nt the serviro of our people who cannot afford to employ lawyers, and who aro too often the victims of sharpers, to assist them in their troubles. It is one of the legiti mate functions of a municipality to help those who cannot help themselves. "This administration." said the Major, "was put in power to benefit the wholo peoplo, and that shall be its solo aim until Its close."
