Up DOCUMENT IS BIT VERBOSE Indorsement of League of Nations Is Feature That Commends It to Democratic Leaders. BY MARK SULLIVAN. Copyright by the New York Evening Post. Inc.. Published by Arrangement. SAN FRANCiSCO, June 24. (Spe cial.) Senator Carter Olass of Vir ginia is here and we all understand that he is slated to be chairman of the committee on resolutions, which writes the platform. He is an ad mirable choice for this very import ant post, being markedly a man of onscience and strict intellectual in tegrity. Mr. Glass brought a model platform with him. His model is what has come to have a kind of con ftitutional prestige under the slogan "The Virginia platform." It is the platform of the recent Virginia con mention and it derives Its vogue largely from the fact that it won high approval at the White House. Carter Glass wrote the Virginia platform himself. . He says with pride that he is responsible for every word of it. ditorium. California fruits and flow ers will be distributed.

PCRDY IS FOR CHA1BERIAI' Oregon Senator's Xame to Be Pre- . sen ted at Convention. SALEM. Or.. June 24. Will E. Purdy delegate-at-large from Oregon to the democratic national convention at San Francisco, will go to the con vention -with the avowed purpose of placing Senator George E. Chamber lain's name in line for the democratic residential nomination, he declared tcday. One of the country's greatest men has not been accorded public consid- ration for the nation's highest execu tive office." declared the Oregon del- rate. "This man is George E. Cham berlain, whose record of fearless de votion to public interests has caused his name to be known throughout the nation. Senator Chamberlain is the type of man the selection of whom would offset the machine-made blun ders of the convention at Chicago.". The Oregon delegate says he is un- er obligations to stand by McAdoo in line with the instruction of demo- ratic voters of this state, but expects that McAdoo's withdrawal from the ontest will afford him an opportu nity to advance Chamberlain's name n the presidential list. Platform Bit VrrbMC. Since It is likely to cut so much figure here, your correspondent has been at some pains to give a thor ough reading ot the Virginia plat form. It took some pains. The sen timents are all right, if you happen to believe in that kind of sentiment, but in the matter of length and cir cumlocution and especially excessive verbal ornatencss your correspondent ventures the prediction that the Vir ginia platform will undergo come condensation and some improvement in the direction of simplicity before it turns up as the national platform of the democratic party. The Virginia platform is of the 1880 torchlight procession and "starry banner" period of political contro versy. It acclaims "the president" in one paragraph, "commends" him in another, "indorses" in a third, "con gratulates" him in a fourth and re peats the spirit of indiscriminate adulation in all. Old - fashioned phrases like incomparable states man," "partisan envy and personal natred and masterly leadership' etick out on every page. League Approval Coalite.' But of course it isn't the verbal or namentation of the Virginia platform that gives it the prominence it has here. By the "Virginia platform" as it figures here is really meant merely ; that part of the Virginia platform which indorses the league of nations. The initial sentence of that indorse ment in the Virginia platform is: "We advocate prompt ratification of the treaty without reservations which would impair its essential integrity It is your correspondent's expectation that the spirit of this indorsement of the league of nations will be adopted here There was at one time much opposition among some o 'mocrats to such a generous indorsement of th league, but since the republican con vention the spirit of these objecting democrats has changed, for the re jublicana took a position which nearly everybody now Interprets as strong opposition to ratification. Th democrats are much more united upo taking a position of direct contradic tlon to the republicans. Jt is still possible that there may b some differences of opinion in the res olutions committee, but probably not more than to change the wording o the indorsement slightly. Bryan expected to have a plank of his ow on the league but prevailing nti ment here is decidedly in the direc tion of generous indorsement of th league and tor practically unre strained advocacy of the treaty. In other parts of the platform to be adopted here there will be little re semblance to Senator Glass' "Virglni platform." For one thing, the Vlr ima platform contains no referenc to prohibition and it is expected tha the national platform will say some thing about prohibition, either pro o con, but on that point also there are quiet efforts looking to harmony. This part of the platform, howeve'r, will be treated in a separate dispatch. Bryan hasn't arrived yet and no ne can write adequately as to what this convention is going to .do about liquor until he has first talked with Bryan.

Mass., June 24. Har vard university today conferred hon orary degrees of doctor of laws upon General Pershing .and Franklin K. Lane, former secretary of the inte rior. The same degree was conferred upon Robert S. Brookings, banker and president of the board of trustees of Washington university, St. Louis, and upon Roscoe Pound, dean of the Har vard law school. The commencement exercises, in which 1096 men received degrees, fol lowed traditional form. Brief addresses were delivered by General Pershing, Mr. Lane and Gov ernor Coolidge. The governor, after saying that Harvard had performed a great mis sion, said that the mission of the commonwealth of Massachusetts had been "to lead the world into a larger liberty." The process adopted in car rying out that mission "began in the cabin of the Mayflower, where there was a renunciation, on the part of those about to found our common wealth, of their personal freedom, in order that they and the state which they founded might enjoy a larger liberty and that lesson there begun was carried into the revolution. "The great issue of that conquest was not the setting up of an Inde pendent government. It was the establishment of a constitution that provided for liberty under the law and it provided for it by a remission on the part of the individuals of some of their smaller ideas and their smaller freedom." . General Pershing'aid that "we have come to look to Harvard as a uni versity and to Harvard men for the solution of most of our problems." 1 At a meeting of the alumni asso ciation. Eliot Wadsworth. joint chair man of the lndowment fund com mittee, announced that 17,608 sub scrlptions had been received, amount ing to $12,157,764. He said that after the presidential election the campaign would be resumed in an effort to reach the goal at 115.250.000. be to put him forward for the con vention chairmanship rather than for the head of the platform committee. Wilson Dictation Scooted. Chairman Cummings and other na tional committee officials discoun tenanced talk of an open anti-administration fight and- protested vigor ously against loDDy gossip that Presi dent Wilson was attempting to dic tate either in regard to the canal date or the platform. - "I am aware," said Mr. Cummings, "of no intention by the president to communicate to the convention In any way, shape or form. I antici pate no olun'-ary suggestion from him." He added, of course, that there could be no restraint on the presi dent's friends in any communication they might care to establish witn the White House, though he said the whole attitude of the chief executive had been to let the convention woik out its own destiny. Glass He puled Spokesman. Senator Glass, who arrived last night from Washington as the com monly reputed spokesman of the White House, also denied that the president would seek to control the deliberations here. The senator came to make a fight favorable to the ad ministration.' but if he brought any word of White House praference be tween candidates, it did not show up on the surface in today's conferences. FIGHT OVER ERIX FORECAST ject from his conference with Presi dent Wilson. The senator's own views were not disclosed in such statements as he has made since his arrival. He has been generally classed, however, among those prominent democratic leaders who are strong believers in Mr. McAdoo's availability tor the nom ination. - Supporters of Vice-President Mar shall for the nomination looked at the situation today much as did the Davis adherents. They thought Mar shall would figure prominently If a deadlock developed as expected, and their plans were drawn with that in mind. . . The only presidential candidate on the ground today receiving delegates and visitors was Senator Owen of Oklahoma. He did not discuss his chances for the nomination, but was willing to talk about the platform. The party declaration should be short and should be written in the simplest English and should emphasize the "all-embracing" doctrine of popular government, he said, adding that it should declare for the faithful execu tion of the 18th amendment. Attorney-General Palmer will ar rive tomorrow, accompanied by Mrs. Palmer and personal friends. C. C. Carlin, a Palmer manager, said the situation so far as the attorney-general's candidacy was concerned was satisfactory. "It will be Palmer or somebody who has not yet been mentioned," was the way Mr. Carlin summed up the situation. The headquarters xyt Governor Ed wards of New Jersey, avowed wet candidate for the presidential nomi nation, showed activity today with the arrival of Walker Vick. chief manager of the Edwards boom. Dis appointment was expressed by many Kc wards supporters over the inability ot the New Jersey governor to come i l person. Preceding the arrival of the Ohio delegation there was no development in the campaign of Governor Cox. In fact, there was no great activity at ny of the headquarters, as the big ush of delegates will not begin until tomorrow.

Irisli Freedom Advocates Want Ac tion, Not Controversy. SAN FRANCISCO, June 24. The friends of Irish Freedom, whose rep resentatlve came to San Francisco to urge a plank in the democratic plat form pertaining to Ireland, announced tonight that because of the activities of the Irish sympathizers under the direct guidance of President De Valera of the Irish insurgent govern ment they would not propose any declaration to the convention resolu tibns committee. The announcement generally was regarded as aggravating the possi bility of a determined fight over the Irish question. Privately the offi cials of the Friends of Irish Freedom had advocated a plank which they said they regarded as less pronounced than the declaration which will be requested by Mr. De Valera. He rived lyre Sunday to lead the fight ior democratic support ior lnsu in dependence. Daniel T. O Connell, who eaid ne spoke for the national council of tne Friends of Irish Freedom made to night's announcement. Democratic leaders here, while not willing to ' predict the language or substance, said they believed an Irish plank would be incorporated tn the platform. They resented any sugges tion that Irish-Americans as a group were opposed to the league of na tions. In his announcement O'Connel said: "The decision not to offer a second plank makes clear that those direct ing the activities of the 20,000,000 Americans of Irish blood, who look to the duly accredited officers of th Friends of Irish Freedom for guid ance, will not permit themselves to become parties to any controversy, They believe the cause is bigger than the views of any group f men. They are determined, furthermore, that no factions shall be created." SAN FRANCISCO, June 24 paign headauarters for Edwin T. Meredith, secretary of agriculture, as candidate for the democratic con vention nomination for president. were opened here today. L. W. Drennan, Shenandoah, la.. newspaper publisher, will direct the campaign of Mr. Meredith, who is ex pected here with the Iowa delegation omorrow. We will push Mr. Mere dith's campaign on the theory that he will make the most acceptable com promise candidate," said Mr. Drennan. 'Iowa's delegation is solidly for Mr. Meredith and he is personally accept able to every faction of the dem ocratic party." HONOLULU MAYOR TO ATTEND Russell Sage Foundation and Pub lishers Must Pay for Wrong Done to Youth. NEW TOKK, June 24. A supreme court Jury decided today that William McCue wa not "the toughest kid in Hells Kitchen, and awarded him $3500 damages against the Russell Sage foundation and publishers of a book entitled "Boyhood and Law lessness." in which his picture ap peared over this caption. In asking $30,000 damages, the boy's complaint set forth that in 1914 a photographer appeared in the Hell's Kitchen district, where he lived, and took his picture on the gorund that he wanted "Boy Scout pictures." McCue, who is now of age, said he was an altar boy in St. Ambrose's church at the time and had never been arrested or charged with de linquency in any form. In denying a motion to set aside the verdict Justice Ford said: "There is not a scintilla of evl- office and had not decided ren ; , l w, .f loUKU ac " la zl wickcq nuei. That is the great trouble with these movements. They think that where there is poverty there must be criminality.

F.ncrgles at Convention to Be Con fined to Duties as Delegate. SAN FRANCISCO. June 24. Vice TTesldent Marshall made it known to night that his activities during the democratic national convention will be directed toward working as a delegate-at-large from Indiana for a "safe and sane" platform. ' Put a good man on it and let him fro to it," he added. On his arrival today the vice-president said he was not a candidate for any for whom he would vote in the con vention. He said he would like to have the platform brief and explicit. Disclaim ing knowledge of any mfve to place him on the resolutions committee or make hlra chairman of it, he said: "If 1 were making up the platform I'd write it on a postcard and in such terms that if we were wrong the whole country would know it." Mr. Marshall said he did not antici pate any serious prohibition issue. "My personal views on this question are unchanged," he continued. "1 was not in favor of prohibition orig inally, but now it Is incorporated in the constitution and it should be ob served." PLAXKS PREPARED BY WOMEN Welfare of Children in Industry Now Being Considered SAN FRANCISCO, June 24. Planks on welfare of children and women in industry that a meeting of democratic women tomorrow night may ask the democratic national convention to in corporate in its platform were taken xxd todav by the women's democratic club of California. One ot these proposed planks rec ommended that federal government schools be established for children ot American men killed in the war. Each day next week a breakfast for convention women is to be held and the various aspirants for the presi dential nomination have been asked to speak. Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma is to address the first breakfast on Monday. Entertainment plans include after noon and evening receptions each day at California headquarters at the tu-J Yellow Fever Reported. WASHINGTON. June 24. An epi demic of yellow fever in the north western ' part of Salvador near the Guatemalan border was reported to the state department today by the Salvadorean legation, it was an nounced at the pan-Amei lean health bureau. Advices to the legation said 49 cases had been discovered and of these 17 had proved fatal. The in fected district, the advices said, had been isolated. Indebtedness Not Discussed. LONDON, June 24. The British treasury department today authorized the statement that no proposition for dealing with the allied Indebtedness to the United States was discussed either at the Hythe or Boulogne con ferences. Neither have any of the governments represented at thos conferences ever suggested the re pudltation of their obligation, it was added. Mexico Exports Crude Oil. MEXICO CITY, June 24. Seventy thousand barrels of crude oil were exported from Mexican gulf ports during the month of May, it wu an nounced officially today.. SUPPORTERS ARE HOPEFUL McAdoo Expected to Be Named 1 Case of Deadlock. SAN FRANCISCO. June 24. De spite W. G. McAdoo's announcemen that he would not be a candidate for the democratic presidential nomina- ion, his name recurs very frequently in gossip in national convention cir cles. The McAdoo boom, for the roots and war chests of which the senate campaign investigating committee sought in vain, appears to thrive even gainst the frosty attitude of Mr. McAdoo himself. Its chief character istic continues to be the same intangi ble quality that daunted the sena torial boom investigators. On the surface McAdoo supporters ave accepted his dictum and publicly transferred their allegiance to other candidates. There is something about their alacrity, however, that make ther democrats here wonder whether they will "stay put" in their new affiliations. Privately 6ome of these former Mc Adoo supporters admit they have not lost hope that he will be the nominee. They state their case bluntly. The business of the convention is to nom inate a man who can be elected, they say. They regard the republican ticket and platform as "encouraging' from a democratic point of view, and believe that the brass tacks of poll tics will dictate McAdoo's nomination as the man who could be elected They are shaping their present course. they admitted, in anticipation or deadlock between Attorney - General Palmer, Governor Cox and other nrominent aspirants, and a. general swing to McAdoo at that point which would result in his nomination. Meanwhile representatives of other candidates have been busy mapping out their campaigns. They also fore see a deadlock In the balloting, and it was indicated today that some thought was being given to the num ber of ballots supporters of partlcu lar candidates would be asked to stick by him and to whom their bup port would go after that time. Neighborly considerations, ll l said, are apt to play a part in th course or delegates rrom j-ennsyi vania. Ohio and West Virginia when the expected break comes. Bach state has a candidate in the field Palmer from Pennsylvania. . Cox from Ohio and John W. Davis from West 'Vir srinia. Should the early balloting make it apparent that the necessary two thirds majority to nominate could not be obtained. for Palmer or Cox, Davis supporters claimed today that he would inherit the Pennsylvan and Ohio delegations. They antici Dated a general surge toward liavi under the impetus furnished by these powerful blocks of votes. Arrival of Senator Glass of Virginia added nothing today to the discussio as to candidates. There was nothin to Indicate that he had brought an message, or suggestion p.u that eub John II. Wilson, Brought Up In California, Attended Stanford. HONOLULU, t. H.. June 24. (Spe cial.) Mayor Johnny H. Wilson ot Honolulu .and two members of his civic administration staff will attend the democratic national convention which opens in San Francisco towards the latter part of this month. Mayor I Wilson has little Hawaiian blood in ' him. Furthermore, he was brought up in California and was a classmate of Hoover at Stanford. James Bicknell. city auditor, and R. A. Vitousek, assistant county attor ney, are accompanying him. FACE ISSUES, SAYS BURLESON Party Can Win With Right Man, Asserts Postmaster-General. TUCSON, Ari.. June 24. "If the democrats meet all issues squarely and select the right man at the San Francisco convention, victory is as sured them."

"But if we dodjsre issues in a cow ardly manner and select a colorless candidate, as the republicans did, we will meet with defeat. FLEET ATTENDS CONVENTION Battlers of Pacific Steam Into San Francisco to Greet Bourbons. SAN FRANCISCO. June 24.

It will not of course name a candidate, obnoxious to the White House. It will have a polite purpose to choose one highly favored there, provided, of course, that the president does not name himself. There may be some mystery about the Wilson intentions as to the third term, but there is none at all about the attitude of the convention. It will not be for a third term. The delegates do not think that Mr. Wil son is a candidate. They, or the great majority, certainly do not want him to be. They might find some em barrassment in settling the question if it should be put up to them, bui it cannot be seriously doubted what Born of the dilemma they would seize. They are under no Illusions as to the painful facts about his illness and the distressing impression any serious plan to make him president again would have upon the country. That eventuality may as well be dis missed now from serious considera tion, notwithstanding all the talk about it. The persistent gossip is either part of a deliberate plan to keep firm the Wilson hold in the democracy or it is , the misguided fancy of sundry overzealous admirers of the president. It is both, perhaps. Chtcaaco Parallel Seen. But since it will not and cannot be Wilson, who will It be? There is certain parallel here with the Chicago convention. There it was Wood, Low den and Johnson against one another and against the fleta. Here it is Pclmr and Cox, and a large coterie of lesser lights, among whom shines with somewhat diminished -luster the name of McAdoo. The convention is in a curious per plexity about McAdoo. It is disposed to accept in good faith his protesta tion that he is not a candidate and does not want the nomination, but there is a wide difference of opinion as to whether his announcement has eliminated him or enhanced his chances. Som persons who think McAdoo is after It say he has bungled as badly as Hoover did and they talk aoout the rank amateurishness of the McAdoo move: some others think that It is deepest strategy. But delegates ror the most part, whether they are merely guileless themselves and think no guile of others, or whether they are for some other candidate, insist that McAdoo be taken at his word. At the outset, that is what the con vention will do, except for a few like the Oregon delegates, who are in structed for him, and for some others who have , their own reasons for re fusing to count themselves out of the McAdoo ranks. Llstatelnar Fltcured On. From the first McAdoo will have votes, say BO to 100, whether or not he is formally placed in nomination, After Palmer is out of it and Cox Is out of it they figure that the light ning will strike McAdoo. Much tha same thing occurred at Chicago. Pal mer is the Wood of tho situation and Cox is the Lowden; nobody is the Johnson, but somebody will be the Harding. It may not be all over in 10 ballots because of the awkward and very for midable two-thirds rule, but sooner or later the break will come and some body will win. The sorrowful truth about Mitchell Palmer, who has at the present time more votes pledged and accounted for than any other, is that nobody wants him but the professional political talent. They would like to see Palmer president because he has a way with him that is most agreeable to the politicians. You can sit down with him and talk to him. they say. It would be a most refreshing and novel experience, indeed, for the democrats to have a president who would be a good fellow with th boys. They are not knocking the unseeable and non-pliable Woodrow, of course, when they eulogize th social gifts of the amiable Palmer but everybody cannot be like Wilson and get away with it and they would 4t II.

Now here comes along Cox, wno also has certain qualities which ap peal to the fellows who have to bear the heat and burden of the struggle in practical political effort, and who ia otherwise available. uoi is wet. but not very wet, it is said; yet he is wet enough to suit the wet New Yorkers, who are nominally here for Governor Smith, but really for some one who both fills the Tammany ideal of a president and who also starts with a certain national prestige. .Be sides, there is the important consid eration ot geography. Cox comes from Ohio and unless he is named to op pose Harding Ohio is surely lost, it Is a pivotal state which has lately shown decided democratic tendencies. It will be difficult to win without Ohio. It will be possible to win with Ohio. The power of the Cox argument is admitted, but there are certain dis advantages which will cause the con vention to hesitate. Admittedly tne delegates are i.ot ready to take a headlong plunsra into the anti-prohibition pool with a wet plank: but will it be any safir to do the same thing with a wet candidate? The nomina tion of Cox would precipitate the wet issue, no matter . what the platform says or fails to say. This would be acceptable enough to these delega tions which are notoriously wet ana which by the same token show lean irgs toward Cox; but it is an expert' ment which excites the apprehensions of those who are not converted to the bold idea that the true mission of democracy is to challenge the dry sentiment of the country. Besides, there is Bryan. He has been against Cox and presumably will continue to be against him. Bryan Is not to be ignored. He will not per mlt It. Whatever Bryan s reasons for opposing Cox, they will be suffl cient for a considerable element. but nobody who has ever seen the commoner in action tn a democratic convention will minimize his power. Democrats who do not admire him. vet are bound to listen to him. and it will be a surprise if this convention declines to heed him, unless Indeed, he runs counter to the greater au thority of Woodrow Wilson. Bryan will not have his way on the league of nations, but he will have it in other matters and one of them is his great hostility to any wet or quasi wet plank. Thus the difficulties in the way of Cox are obvious: but that he will be used to defeat Palmer is equally ob vious. Then the field is likely to turn against Cox and what will happen nobody knows.
