ABOARD THE OVERLAND LIM
ITED. OGDES, Utah. June 23. (Spe
cial.) McAdoo or Marshall, so the
signs read as -viewed from this train
which might be called the William
Gibbs McAdoo special because it is
carrying- to San Francisco Stuart G
Gibboney, who is authorized to derail
the McAdoo candidacy.
Mr. Gibboney, however. Is the only
McAdoo man on this train who talks
about stopping the McAdoo boom, and
sometimes I wonder if he is in earn
est about it. Failure of news dis
patches in today's papers to record
any action of Mr. McAdoo releasing
the ten Oregon delecrates, th'e only
delegation under definite instruc
tions to support him,, caused his
friends themselves to doubt if he
meant what he said when he sent a
telegram of withdrawal a few days
ago to Jouett Shouse of Kansas.
Last Saturday, when several of his
New York friends left for the conven
tion. Mr. McAdoo assured them, they
Bay. that he intended setting free the
Oregon delegation but up to this hour
they have received no indication of
any such move. It is McAdoo or
Marshall, the McAdoo men all say,
but all of them name their own choice
first.
Only One Copy Carrie.
One significant fact is that, while
the McAdoo representative is carry
ing to San Francisco only one copy
of the McAdoo withdrawal telegrams
sent to Shouse, he has scores of extra
copies of the letter written by Mr.
McAdoo last February to A. Milledge
ville. a Georgia man, saying that "I
would regard it as the Imperative
duty of any man to accept a nomina
tion if it should come to him unso
licited." The prospects, therefore, are that
many a delegate will have his mem
ory refreshed as to the Milledgeville
letter who will never hear again of
the Shouse telegram. There arc two
men whom It is very apparent the
McAdoo boosters are against. One is
Governor Cox of Ohio for the presi
c.cntial nomination. They are also
opposed to giving any more authority
into the hand of Homer S. Cummings,
the national chairman.
I am told by a McAdoo leader that
Cummings is a "reactionary" and a
"designing politician."
This feeling toward the national
chairman is intensified further by
Chairman Cummings having taken to
himself the honor of calling the con
mention to order and delivering the
keynote address.
It is clear that if McAdoo fails
Jiis supporters intend doing every
thing In their power to beat Cox.
In turning to Marshall they see a
chance to take some New "York sup
port away from the Ohloan because
Marshall has considerable following
In that section of the country and
Is not objectionable to Tammany.
Joseph F. S. Fitzpatrick, assistant
Tnanager of the campaign of Gov
ernor Edwards of New Jersey, who
with two or three other Edwards
shouters has been keeping under cover
on this trip, could not contain him
self today when the morning- news
papers told of Postmaster-General
Burleson's declaration for hamstring
ing the Volstead prohibition enforce
ment act.
Kdvrard Mas Feels Easier.
"That is water on our wheel," said
Mr. Fitzpatrick. "Burleson is simply
indorsing the Edwards position in
this campaign. This makes it easier."
Bourke Cochran, Morgan J. O'Brien
and other noted Tammany men on this
train decline to be drawn into any
discussion of candidates. All they
know is that they are against McAdoo
and that they are going to San Fran
cisco to resist the threatened efforts
of Franklin Roosevelt and other Mc
Adoo men to upset the unit rule, by
which several McAdoo men on the
New York delegation are about to be
V forced to vote with the majority for
Cox or some one else.
The Tammany fellows were pleased
with the Burleson wet. statement.
Bourke Cochran is to be the New York
member of the resolutions committee,
which will place him where he can
make a fight for an Irish plank in
the platform.
Former Senator James Hamilton
Lewis is keeping on good terms with
the friends of all the presidential can
didates. Jim Ham took keen pleasure
in telling everybody in his car this
morning how a Chicago minister, bit
terly opposed to him, has indorsed
his vice-presidential candidacy. Lew
is an ideal candidate for vice-presi
dent," the minister was quoted a
saying, "because he represents vice
of all the presidents.
Another lie . nailed Jim Ham does
not do his hair up on kid curlers at
night, as reported. A committee com
posed of Stuart G. Gobboney. Bourke
Cochran and two disinterested person
was named to visit Jim Ham at his
berth last night and investigate. They
tried to be fair, they said in their re
port exonerating the former senator
and Beau BrummeL He said he let
them take his hair out under the light
and examine it to make sure of the
facts.
Throats Parched in Desert.
The Edwards' party grows bolder as
the train gets further into the desert
and. taking advantage of the parched
gcondition of several throats, it is not
inconceivable that some delegates may
be inveigled into pledging their votes
to the "wet" candidate from New Jer
sey under the stress of terrible cir
cumstances created by the combina
tion of sand, coal dust and the Vol
stead act.
Mr. Gibboney. the McAdoo repre
sentative, got in long-distance com
munication with the leader of the
Alabama delegation from a point
along the line for the purpose of re
questing the Alabamans not to press
the McAdoo nomination. "What an.
Peace Treaty, Profiteers and Iilquor
Likely to Cause Trouble.
LINCOLN. Neb., June 23. Predic
tion that the democratic national con
vention at San Francisco will witness
fights over the peace treaty, the prof
iteer and the liquor issue Is made in
an article by W. J. Bryan in his news
paper, the Commoner.
After declaring that the convention
fights are likely to be over these
questions, Mr. Bryan says the chances
are in favor of ratification of the
treaty, with reservations, and against
the profiteer and the saloon.
"The overwhelming opposition to
the policy of ratification without res
ervations as shown by the vote at
the primaries," he asserts, "will prob
ably defeat any effort to make the
treaty an issue in the campaign."
The article also says the democratic
Tiistrnrm la xcrtsiin to declare against
universal compulsory military train
ing; that the convention will nave io
deal with the subject of "private
monopoly"; that the democratic party
will "insist upon the toilers' right to
equal treatment," and that woman
suffrage will be indorsed.
Discussing possible democratic can
didates for the presidency, the article
declares that former Secretary of the
Treasury William G. McAdoo is hand
icapped as a candidate "by his close
relationship with the president," while
President Wilson himself, he says.
"need not be considered."
Asserting that Mr. McAdoo is also
handlcanDed bv "his silence on the
peace treaty." Mr. Bryan declares Mr.
McAdoo is unable to call to his sup
port "those to whom the president s
candidacy appealed with special force"
and that he would "furnish an easy
ark for all of the president s ene
mies.".
The article says, however, that Mr.
McAdoo has considerable strength
among wage earners.
Referring to President Wilson, Mr.
Bryan says that, "while vague hints
and suggestions have been thrown
out occasionally, no one claiming to
speak . for the president or near
enough to him to be assumed to ex
press his wishes has announced his
candidacy."
Herbert Hoover is eliminated from
the list o.f candidates whom Mr. Bryan
considers "available," while Senator
Owen of Oklahoma and Secretary of
Agriculture Meredith are described
as being "among the few available
men thus far mentioned." To be avail
able this year. Mr. Bryan asserts, a
candidate must be known to be for
woman suffrage, for prohibition and
"against Wall street."
As to Attorney-General Palmer, Mr.
Bryan says he entered the campaign
in a position "to deal sternly with
the profiteer and an expectant public
stood ready to applaud, but the prof
iteer seems to have things all his own
way and the attorney-general is now
suffering from the reaction." He adds
that the attorney-general is "unfor
tunate," too. in having to espouse the
ratification of the treaty without res
ervations.
Former Speaker Clark of the house
of representatives is mentioned as
having his own state behind him
while opposition to Governor Edwards
of New Jersey and Governor Cox of
Ohio is reiterated.
Governor Cox' friends, the article
declares, will urge him as a com
promise between the wets of the Ed
wards type and the "bone drys."
Vice-President Marshall is accused
of making "a feeble bid for the wet
vote."
"Judge Gerard's candidacy has
South Dakota's support and he has
many personal friends among other
delegates," Mr. Bryan says.

DELEGATES WAXT WET PIANK
Tammany Pleased at Defeat of
Representative. Volstead.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 23.
Tammany delegates to the democratic
national convention at San Francisco,
breaking the monotony of a trans
continental trip by a day in Los An
geles, today declared themselves in
favor of the manufacture of light
wines and beers and pleased at the
defeat of Representative A. J. Vol
stead for renomination as the repub
lican candidate from the seventh con
gressional district of Mnnesota.
"Young man, ald James J. Hagin,
New' York City fire commissioner and
Tammany delegate, addressing a
newspaper Interviewer, the demo
cratic platform will be concise, pre
cise and explicit.
"There will be a wet plank in that
platform the people of the country
favor a wet plank a plank providing
for the manufacture of light wines
and beer."
"Yes, indeed," agreed Charles W.
Culkln, also a New York City fire
commissioner and also a delegate,
"the people of the United States have
had enough of positive prohibition.
Mr. Culkln and Assemblyman Louis
A. Cuvillier predicted the democratic
convention would pledge itself to a
soldiers' bonus.
Mr. Hagin predicted a plank favor
ing equal suffrage would be adopted
in "unmistakable terms."
He declared "too much talk of a
third term would result in a plank for
one term of six years.
"Poor losers always discuss new
parties." he said.
Members of the delegation laughed
when they heard of the Indictment of
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader,
by an extraordinary grand jury in
New York.
"That's fine," they exclaimed
"We're used to indictments. We have
them for breakfast, dinner and sup

WASHINGTON, June 23. Senator
Harding, republican presidential nom
inee, continued his conference with
republican leaders today, discussing
with them plans for his campaign and
subjects with which he will deal in
his speech of acceptance.
William Cooper Proctor of Cincin
nati,. manager for . Major-General
Leonard Wood in his campaign for
the presidential nomination, wrote
the senator promising his loyal sup
port.
senator Harding today received a
letter from Theodore Roosevelt Jr.,
congratulating him on his nomination.
Republican leaders generally ex
pressed approval today of the per
sonnel of the executive committee
which will conduct the party's presi
dential campaign. Twenty-one mem
bers, including, seven women, will
constitute the committee and the
names of 20 of these were announced
last night by Chairman Hays of the
national committee.
The one name, eaid to be that of a
national committeeman, was omitted
because Mr. Hays had not had time to
communicate with the appointee.
Leaders claimed that every group
of the party is represented in the
committee membership and that this
amalgamation insures' harmony with
in, and a solid front against the dem
ocrats, there was no statement as
to what the committee's immediate
plans are, or when or where activities
will be initiated.
JOHNSON TO CONTINUE AVAR
"Traitors to Be Held Up to Public
Obloquy aud Scorn."
LINCOLN, Neb.. June 23. Frank A.
Harrison of Lincoln, manager for
Senator Hiram Johnson's Nebraska
presidential preference campaign,
who recently charged that "the
treachery and desertion of the dele
gates from instructed states broke
the heart of the Johnson movement,"
today made public a personal note'
from the senator in which the latter
says he wishes to take steps to "hold
up to deserved public obloquy and
scorn" those who he said "broke
faith" at Chicago.
Senator Johnson said he was going
to do this in every state where the
"crime" was done, "so that the peo
ple may be protected in the future
when they express their choice for
president."

The charge against Edmunson is
the result of a dodger alleged to have
been circulated on the streets by him
a few days ago in which he accuses
the chief of police and the two news
papers here of attacking his charac
ter. Edmunson has been arrested
twice lately, once for alleged failure
to move on when told to do so by the
chief of police and only a few days
ago on the charge of unlawful pos
session of liquor. He was found guilty
of both charges.
