DID McADOO WIN?
TT IS odd to hear that Mr. McAdoo
- received the news of his defeat nt
San Francisco with nn extlamatlon of
gcjiulne pleasure. It has always been
clear, that he did not desire the presi
dency. Hut lie Is the first man In his
tory to deliberately nud consistently
avoid the office and tp 'feel that when
lie lost he won. This state of mind In
BOoA and gifted cltlr.cn nppears come
how ominous. McAdoo knows hat the
job at the White House Is llko nnd what
it Is likely to be for some years to come.
He moved nt the heart of the storm In

The presidency will never lie refused,
of course. The nomination is a Com

The pure nir mid the outdoor life did
wonders for hini. mat was twenty-
eight years ago.
Finally, with restored health, he
began dabbling in politics. It was in
his blood and bones; for, like most ot
the ward and division workers in Phil
adelphia, politics was bred in him. He
became popular, was, elected sheriff,
nnd introduced into the hill nnd valley

of political organization nnd work.

Major R. II. Ilogan. late of the

the hitter. Today he is associated in

His experience with the corps dates

"The reason for the great demand for

anil navy is that commercial pursuits
offer greater inducements to ambitious
young men," said Major Hogau, speak
ing on the subjeit the other day.
"Thrie is not much prospect nt

JOHNSON PLEDGES
SUPPORT TO PARTY
Republicans Urged to Stand by
Ticket Nominated in
Chicago
By the Associated Press
San Francisco. .Tulv 7. Sunnort ot
tho Republican narty "with a candi
date standing four-squnro upon the
piatrorm is the only choice left "those
who believe iu safeguarding, protecting
nnd preserving our Americanism." Sen
ntor Hiram W. .Inhnsnn, of California.
declared in a statement nt his home
here today.
"For more than n year the con
test over the President's League nf
Nations hns been waged iu Congress."
Senntor Johnson's statement snid, "it
has been the all-engrossing nnd pnrn
mount issue. Of necessity, this issue
enme to the conventions of. the grent
political parties. Roth Republicans nnd
Demoernts, in their plat forms, havo in
dulged in the usunl polltienl verbositv.
but nevertheless these platforms, hi di
rect opposition to each other, sharply
define nnd clenrlv niesenr the question
lor decision in the November election.
Republicans Against Peace Treaty
"The Republican party declared that
the President's covenant 'fniled signally
to accomplish' its nurnose. and con
tained stipulations not only intolerable
for nn independent people, but certnin to
produce the injustice, hostility and con
troversy nmons nations which it pro
posed to prevent and 'repudiated to n
degree wholly unnecessary and unjusti
fiable the Hmo-hntiorid policies iu favor
of peace declared bv Washington, Jef
ferson and Monroe.'
"The Republican party stands, there
fore, firmly against the President's
covennnt ns presented, denounces It ns
breeding wnr rather than promoting
peace, nnd reaffirms the time-honored,
nation-old policies of Washington, Jef
ferson nnd Monroe.
"The Dcnim-rath: paily. on the other
hnnd. rejected every effort to mo!i(y
or qunllfy the President's proposed
League of Nations, indorsed the Pres
ident's nttltude and took its position in
favor of the league ns presented. It
is true thnt the Demoeints in effort
to plncnte say something about reserva
tions which might niuki clearer or more
specific tlic obligations of the. 1'nltcd
Suites-, but .he language is meaningless
nud does not nt all alter the cvaentinl
position of the Deimierutio party for
the league us ue--entrd.
"Tho two panics acted iu similar
inshlon in one respect, hut from differ
ent motives and for dilTerent icasons.
Roth rejected the plins fo,- adoption of
the league with reservations, the Demt
ocrnts becnuse they were for the league,
ns presented, and the Republicans be
cause no reservation devised by the hu
man mind could anticipate the contin
gencies which might nrNe in the future
from nn instrument of such potential
possibilities for harm.
Issuo Up to People
"Thus the issue finally comes from
the forum ot Congress to the final ar
bitrament of the American people. The
oversnnuowing quest ion in the enm
P.'liail. therefore, is whether we enter
llhc mueldtrnui of Ruropean mid Asiatic
politics and iiipiomnev and become a
part of the cynical imperialism of the
old world, or whether America fholl live
her life in her own wav , independent,
unfettered, mindful ulways of her obli
gations to humanity nnd civilisation,
but free to net as ench crisis shall arise,
and maintaining nlvvnys the policy of
Washington nnd Jefferson nnd Monroe,
of friendship with all nations, entan
gling alliances with none,
"With n cnndidale standing four
square upon the platform, the Issue
leaves those who believe in safeguard
ing, protecting nnd preserving our
Americanism but one choice, and that
Is to support the Republican rnty."
