SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. (Ed
itorial Correspondence.) The great
McAdoo mystery continues to per
vade the atmosphere for the advance
guards of the democratic convention.
Mr. McAdoo is not a candidate, but
the presidency is a public duty, not
a private perquisite.
He demands that his name be not
presented, but a nominating speech
is a mere formality, anyway.
He has canceled his engagement
for headquarters, but maintenance
of an expensive establishment might
injure rather than enhance one's
chances.
He has authorized no one on the
ground to speak for him, but there
is more than one self-appointed cus
todian of the McAdoo boom to stir
around and keep alive the interest
in the McAdoo availibility.
Brake Increases Speed.
All the activities of McAdoo to
suppress or head off the movement,
whether genuine or not for him, have
served to stimulate it, so that it is
here, a headless, formless thing, yet
a stern reality.
It worries the Palmer contingent
and the Cox faction. They do not
know what to make of it; nobody
does. They do not know what will
come out of it; nobody does. It may
be that the very persistence of the
McAdoo vogue among delegates not
committed to others will serve to
crystallize the opposition to him so
that there will be a combination
against him.
The McAdoo strategy is to keep
him in the background, but yet in
sight, so that the demand for him,

When Looking Through Ber
Foam, Is Assertion.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. "I ex
pect to eee a dry plank in the demo
cratic platform," said William J.
Bryan on his arrival here tonight.
"I have not thought that a wet plank
can be put into it."
He refused to comment on the re
port that there was widespread senti
ment in favor of ignoring prohibition
entirely. He added that he cared to
make no statement on the league of
nations covenant nor as to the can
didacy of the individual.
"Platform first," he added.
"If the wet forces in this conven
tlon had a single vote to" spare," he
said, "they would force in a wet plank
even though it would dissolve the
democratic party."
On being told that wet forces were
claiming from 600 to 700 votes in the
convention, Mr. Bryan said:
"It is hard to calculate with mathe
matical accuracy when looking at i
proposition through the foam of a
glass of beer. The stimulating effect
of alcohol always makes a drinker
an optimist."
Mr. Bryan discussed briefly the de
feat of Senator Johnson at Chicago
and said:
"I think representatives of big busi
ness have moved from Chicago to San
Francisco, but I don't think they will
have as much influence over our con
vention as over the republican con
vention."
Mr. Bryan expressed hope that the
Tennessee and Georgia legislatures
would ratify the suffrage amendment.
'Sueh an announcement," he said.
"would give us a great demonstration
in the convention."

next week. Sixteen is the score at

Failure to Keep Pace With Pre
vious Decades Attributed Also
, to Influenza.
WASHINGTON, June 25. The popu
lation of continental United States is
estimated at 105,000,000 by J. A. Hill,
chief statistician for the census bu
reau. His calculation is based on the
combined populations of 1406 cities
and towns for which statistics have
been announced.
The increase over 1910 is placed at
about 13,000,000. showing the growth
of the country has not kept pace with
previous decades. Almost complete
cessation of immigration during the
war is the chief reason assigned for
the falling off in growth. Other sug
gestions were the two influenza epi
demics, return of aliens to their native '
lands and deaths of soldiers abroad
and at home during the war.
The aggregate population of the
cities and towns on which the esti
mate was made is 41,029,354. This is
an average gain of 26 per cent, com
pared with 35 per cent in the previous
decade.
Census announcements today were:
Fall River, Mass., 120,485; increase
1109, or 1.9 per cent.
Grand Rapids, Mich., 137.634; in
crease 25,063, or 22.3 per cent.
Reading, Pa.. 107,784; increase 11,

SAN FRANCISCO. June 25. So far
as surface indications were con
cerned at leastf the friends of Presi
dent Wilson and his administration
appeared In complete control of thfa
political machinery of the democratic
party today as the actual prelimina
ries of the national convention began.
Their domination was not without its
complement of grumblings and com
plaints among scattering insurgent
elements, but there was every evi
dence that on a showdown the anti
administration forces not only were
far in the minority, but were lacking
in organization and leadership.
The ascendancy of the Wilson sup
porters showed Itself in striking fash
ion in the programme for the national
committee, meeting to decide between
contesting delegates.
Hebeln Will Be Barred.
Many committee members expressed
the opinion when a recess was taken
until tomorrow, without the Georgia
contest or the Missouri case having
been reached, that the ruling to be
made in those cases would be shaped
so as to keep out of the convention
Senator Reed of Missouri and former
Senator Hard-wick of Georgia, two of
the bitterest critics of the Wilson pol
lcies.
Another development pointing In
the Kume direction, was t lie .apparent
collapse of a fight against . Senato
Glass of Virginia in his candidacy for
chairman .of the resolutions commit
tee, a post for which he Is commonly
reported to have been selected by the
president himself.
Carda AcitnM Mr. Rrjmn.
In addition there was accumulating
evidence that William Jennings Bryan
would find the cards against him In
his attempt to put into the platform
a league of nations plank In disagree
ment with the president's views and
a prohibition enforcement plank
framed without the acquiescence of
the administration.
With regard to prohibition, how
ever, the situation remained in
state of considerable uncertainty with
the trend apparently toward exclu
sion of the subject from the platform
entirely. Those who want a liberal
ization plank continued an activ
campaign and some members of th
New York delegation declared they
would carry the fight to the floor of
the convention itself, but a feelin
gained headway that in the end both
Mr. Bryan's bone-dry declaration and
that of the anti-bone drys would b
voted down.
Wilson Stand TTnreTenled.
Just where President Wilson stands
on that subject has not been mad
clear but increasing significance was
attached in the day's conferences to
the absence of any reference to pro
hibition in the Virginia democratic
platform, unqualifiedly indorsed by
the white house.
Neither has the . administration
tipped its hand in regard to presl
dentlal candidates, and. tonight the
relative standing of aspirants re
mained apparently unchanged. - Attorney-General
Palmer arrived dur
ing the day to take personal charge
of his campaign and by tomorrow the
gunning candidates and their man
agers among the uninstructed dele
gates is expected to be at its height.
Those who originally had suggested
a fight against Senator Glass for the
platform committee chairmanship, ap
parently had turned their efforts to
night toward selection of Senator
Walsh, who quit President Wilson's
lead in the senate in March to vote
for the treaty with reservations,
heretofore was urged as the logical
opponent of Senator Glass.
Walsh Mny Be Cnnirmnn.
It was said tonight that the admin
istration chiefs had reached no deel- I
sion as to the permanent chairman
ship and that in the end they might
accept Senator Walsh without a con
test. There also was talk of select
ing Senator Robinson of Arkansas for
the place.
The trend for no plank at all on
prohibition apparently had Its great
est support today from some of those
previously counted on to stand for a
liberalization plank. Some of the best
informed were predicting tonight that
the fight to be made for such a dec
laration now would resolve itself into
a nominal effort designed to put the
co. mention on record. It was ex
pected, however, that Mr. Bryan would
be more insistent in nis work for a
bone-dry plank and would take hi
fight to the convention floor if the
platform committee snowed him
under. '
Mr. Bryan reached San Francisco
late today and led off with a predic
tlon that the platform would contain
an affirmative dry plank. He d-

'We Are Proud of Our Canadian

Governor In Welcome.
Side by side at the head of the pre
cession which departed from the
auditorium late yesterday floated the
Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes.
Side by side with Governor Olcott on
the platform In the great hall sat two
mayors from two countries, each de
lighted to extend the hand of fellow
ship the mayor of Vancouver, B. C,
and the mayor of Portland.
The spirit of the Catherine, which
I was intended as a reception to visit

was a concerted effort to demonstrate
the comradship that exists between
the United States and her northern
neighbor.
The people of both countries," de
clared Mayor R. H. Gale of Van
couver, the speaker of the day,
"should strive to strengthen and fos
ter the ties of friendship that ex
ist." This sentiment was empha
sized by both Mayor Baker and Gov
ernor Olcott, who officially welcomed
the visitors.
P rises Awarded Visitor.
Frank McCrlllis, as chairman of the
meeting, delivered to Mayor Gale the
two prize ribbons won by the Cana
dians taking part in Thursday's pa
rade. The latter in turn called upon
Captain T. II. Irvine of the Royal
NorTrTwcst Mounted" Police and the
standard bearer of the Vancouver
kiltie band to receive these. Cap
tain Ifvine, whose famous "Mounties"
have come across the border for the
first time to take part in an American
festival, spoke briefly his apprecia
tion of the honor.
The programme opened with an in
vocation by Rev. Edward Constant
of the Highland Congregational
church. Addresses by Governor Olcott
and Mayor Baker followed. The for
mer told of his admiration for the
"Mounties," saying that they have)
stood for law and order and clean
citizenship 'and secured it.
Governor Speaks for Stnte.
"We are proud of our Canadian
brothers and sisters and of their ac
complishments," said the governor.
"Thousands of our people have gone
from the states to make their homes
