(Continued From First Page.)
among several men who were not out
standing. Mr. Davis would have
made a good president of the United
States at any period in its history,
and if he were made president now
would stand shoulder to shoulder
with any president the democrats
have ever named. He could be one
of the democratic deral-gods, like
Cleveland or Tilden.
Davla Unknown to Delegate.
Unfortunately, Mr. Davis as a prob
ability in this convention does not
rank equally ' with Mr. Davis as a
statesman. Democratic leaders, who
admit Mr. Davis" outstanding quality
in a spirit of generous and friendly
admiration give three objections to
choosing him. The first is that "the
fellows don't know Davis." By "the
fellows" they mean the delegates. It
Is quite true that Mr. Davis' career
as congressman several years ago, as
solicitor-general of the United States
and as ambassador to Great Britain
has not brought him into clbse con
tact with the rank and file of the
party workers. It is natural enough
that the delegates should be unlikely
to choose a man of whom they know
ao little.
But this is far from a final objec
tion. Scores and hundreds of dele
gates will vote for candidates of
whom they have no personal knowl
edge but whom they accept on iaitn
at the behest of the leaders. If some
atronar leader were to put his heart
into the Davis movement the dele-s-ates
would not resist him. The sec
ond objection "made to Mr. Davis is
that he is not known to the public
. at large. That also Is true. If Mr.
Davis were nominated the business
of the democrats during the cam
paign would be to make Mr. Davis
known to the public. But that is
what a campaign is for, and the four
months of a campaign is ample time
for it. That also is not a final ob
jection.
PtcayunWh Spirit Evident.
Aside from these, other minor rea
ons are given against choosing Mr.
Davis. One is that as congressman
he voted against woman suffrage.
But there is no candidate as to whom
some such objection cannot be made.
Objections of this kind arise out o
the spirit which is too prevalent in
determining a choice, th
minutely examining the record to see
whether a candidate would oe accept
able to this group of voters, or that
group of voters, or the other group
of voters. This spirit of approach
toward naming a candidate will never
arrive at an outstanding person. It
tends to arrive at a neutral person
: ality, who merely has the negative
merit that there are no strong objec
, tions to him. The net of the situa-
tion as regards Mr. Davis is that he
is only likely to be nominated in case
some powerful leader or group 6f
leaders rises high enough to consider
bis nomination from an elevation
greater than now prevails.
Next to Mr. Davis, that one among
the candidates who probably has the
best title to be described as a big
man Is Attorney-General Palmer. It
is true that after leaving Davis you
travel a considerable distance down
the line before you arrive at Mr,
I Palmer. Nevertheless, Palmer's asso-
" elates in the cabinet and in the man
agement of the democratic party con-
. cede to him qualities of breadth and
wisdom which distinguish him from
most of the other widely discussed
candidates. It is probably true of
Palmer, as it is of another distin
guished Pennsylvanian Senator Pen
rose) that if circumstances had not
drawn him info devoting so much
time to the minutiae- of practical pol
ltics he might have been by virtue
t of greater leisure for reflection and
more time for large affairs a states
man. If Palmer had not been drawn
into hewing wood and carrying water
for the democratic organisation in
Pennsylvania and at Washington he
might have stood nearer Mr. Davis as
a lawyer and man of thought.
" - Palner'a Peraonality Outstanding.
Palmer is not only outstanding as
to personality, but also in the num-
ber of delegates he has. Palmer un
doubtedly will lead the-balloting in
the beginning. But nearly every
leader points out weighty arguments
" of expediency against Palmer. He is
supposed to have alienated consider
able sections of the voters by the
conduct of his office. Generally
sneaking, a prosecuting officer who
conducts his office vigorously is not
widely popular. At the time of a
wave of crime he will be- extrav-
' asrantly praised for official vigor,
i but when apprehension subsides the
nubile tends to have distaste and
- suspicion of anyone who is Identified
Z with the' police branch of the gov
ernment. If Palmer should be nom
t inated. it will be done only with full
" consciousness of these handicaps. It
Z will be done in the spirit that Mr.
2 Palmer is a good and able man and
that the party is willing to name
him and go down to defeat, if neces
sary, with its ranks intact under a
capable leader for whom it need make
no apologies.
Next in order of outstanding dis
tinction comes McAdoo. In spite of
li the undeniable good faith of Mr. Mc
Adoo's withdrawal he is still in the
picture. For one reason that Kan
sas City clergyman-editor, to whom
weeks ago was given the honor of
7. making the McAdoo nominating
- speech, insists upon getting that
- speech off. The- speech is in his sys
tem and it cannot be aborted. For
- another reason many of the delegates
and leaders want McAdoo put in
nomination,

INDIGESTION
the probability, of a jam between
Palmer and Cox. aud they want to
keep McAdoo as one of two or three
possible solutions in case that jam
becomes otherwise insoluble. McAdoo
would necessarily be an outstanding
figure by virtue of his experience.
McAdoo is essentially a man of
action. His weakness is the one that
men of action ' often have; being
esteemed for action and being devoted
to getting something done, he occa
sionally falls into the error of actiln
that is too slap-dash, too much based
upon the theory of "do something,
and do it now." McAdoo is undeniably
a big man. For eight years he has
been under tho intent scrutiny of
associates in the cabinet and among
the party leaders, and if he had any
insuperable faults, those la- Us would
now be fully known. The fact that
so large a number of leaders and
delegates sincerely believe McAdoo to
be the best man and sincerely want
him is in itself proof of quality.
Cox an Outstanding Figure.
The next most outstanding figure is
Governor Cox of Ohio. His distino
tion is that of a man who has been
three times governor of hi3 state and
.i comes to the end of that career with
. i . i, .. m 1. him hnth nnnnla,
with the voter and esteemed by the
thoughtful men of his state. He has
been a good administrator in the
sense of getting things done and in
managing the business or the state
capably. On the side of thought he
has been always forward looking and
sympathetic to safe progress. On
grounds of expediency the argument I
in his behalf is that his location in
Ohio gives hope of carrying that
pivotal state against Harding. On- the
same grounds of expediency, his posi
tion as a wet gives him both ele
ments of strength and elements of
weakness.
Those leaders who believe that the
democrats' best chance Is to take the
wet side and get the large wet vote,
which is known to exist in several
eastern states, want to name Cox, of
course. This same fact that Cox has
come to be regarded as the candidate
of the wets creates reasons of ex
pediency against him. A good deal de
pends upon what is to be the strategy
of the democrats in this convention
whether they are going to try to win
by going after the wet vote in the
eastern states and New England
states or v hether they will make
their efforts to win "by appealing to
the solid-and-dry west.
Marshall Strength Gains.
In spite of this and other arguments
of expediency that weigh against Cox,
it is unquestlonal ly a fact that, as
things stand today, Cox will enter the
balloting second in strength only to
Palmer. But also, as the situation
stands today, there is almost certain
to be between these two not a dead
lock technically, but a jam, which, for
practical purposes, .Is the equivalent
of a deadlock. It is only out of this
jam, when and if it arises, that all the
other candidates i t their chance.
Among the 16 formally slated to be
put in nomination, the judgment of
your correspondent is that the next
In order of distinction is Vice-Presi
dent Thomas R. M arshall. Mr. Mar
shall is now, and has been for sev
eral weeks, a little closer to the nom
ination than he himself knows. The
difference between Marshall that is
and the Marshall that would be the
beneficiary of a powerful movement
is- very slight. That difference lies
largely in so small a thing as cer
tain tricks of speech and manner that
Mr. Marshall has. He has always be
littled himself by too much indulgence
in his gift for pungent phraseology.
Character Qualities Solid.
He has solid qualities of character
and ability, but he has let them be
ignored and forgotten in the obscur
ity of the vice-presidency. While he
has permitted the public to see only
that part of him which occasionally
makes a humorous cpeech or emits a
jocular phrase, he has made the publ'c
think of him as a country-store porch
wit, and the people don't know his
solid qualities. His recent telegram
to Governor Coolidge tendering "con
dolences" upon getting the nomina
tion for the vice-presidency, was an
added proof of "lis impish genius for
whimsicality right at a moment when
several important leaders were con
sidering putting him forward for th
presidency. The democratic senators

t'lmmln la Man of Thoicht
The national chairman. Homer Cum
mings of Connecticut, is among those
who will D put In nomination. Mr,
Cumming8 is a man of thought. He
functions in the vorld of ideas. He
is entirely capable of doing good
handlworK wun the materials c
statesmanship. He has one quality
that manes ntm outstanding here.
He is one of the very few democratic
leaders who truly and spontaneously
believes wnoie-neanedly in tho leagu
of nations. Cummlngs believes in the
league of nations In the same way
a-a to me same degree that Presiden
Wilson docs.- There are plenty of lead
ers who believe in the league, or who
believe It is good policy to stand by the
league, but the thing that distinguishes
Cummings is his pristine ardor about
it. Cummings retains today just c.s
exalted a mood about this gallant ad
venture in the direction of peace for
mankind as President Wilson himself
had when hj first burst upon the
world with It. If President Wilson
were to control this nomination, and
if he were governed by the wish to
name someone who could - put the
president's own heart behind the
league of nations, Cummings might
come to the front.
6 Bell-ans

Sure Relief
Simmons Clearly Impossible.
Of course the nomination may go to
any one of the other ten now slated
to be put in nomination, or it may go
to someone not yet mentioned. Of
the other ten, some are clearly lm
possible. No part with its mind on
victory is going to put up for the
presidency a mn who comes from as
far south as Senator Simmons of
North Carolina. Probably it would
not put up for th presidency a man
from so far south as Senator Glass
of Virginia, although Glass has
abundant character and ability to
qualify him.
Governor Edwards of New Jersey,
of course, regardless of his personal
politics, is in this situation here
merely as an episode of comic relief.
Champ Clark is too old. The secre
tary of agriculture, E. T. Meredith of
Iowa might have a chance if he
were better known or if his state
were a doubtful one. If the demo
crats, either in the nomination for
president or for vice-president, should
be able to guarantee the winning of
Iowa, that would go far toward win
ing the country, but Iowa is almost
as thorough-going a republican state
s Pennsylvania. As the late Senator
Dolliver used to put it, "Iowa will go
democratic when hell goes Methodist."
Marked Change In Wets.
Tour correspondent observes a
marked change in the spirit of his
friends among the wet leaders here.
n the beginning they arrived with
an aggressive air. They were de
termined to get a wet plank into the
platform. They were belligerent
and . indisposed to listen to counsels
of prudence. But when they encoun
tered the other leaders, who are im
personal and detached on this point
nd whose main concern is the party
as a whole, they found a state of
mind in the latter which was entirely
reasonable and willing to listen but
decidedly wanted to be shown.
The wet leaders here were asked
to put whatever they had in mind in
writing, actually to draft the plank
which they propose. When they were
confronted with the necessity of put
ting their ideas Into cold words they
found it was extremely difficult to do
The idea that the wet leaders had
was that they should make no attack
on the eighteenth amendment but, on
the contrary, should favor the sanc
tity of it. They also wanted to con
demn the . salqon as an institution
But they wanted the democratic party
to say that every -man ought to be
permitted to have some beer or light
wine if he wants it.
Yet when they were confronted with
the practical difficulty of saying these
things definitely and concretely in
print they realized it was hard to say
how a man is to have the privilege of
owning liquor unless there is also
some mechanism for his buying it.
The effort to put something in words
that would contain their conflicting
thoughts showed the wet leaders some
of the practical difficulties of what
they proposed. Then they suggested
another plan. They suggested going
on record in, favor of the 18th amend
ment and in favor, also, of the aboli
tion of the saloon, but saying that
each state should have the local op
tion to determine tor itseii tne per
centage of alcohol which determines
an intoxicating drink. Again the other
leaders asked them to put this idea
into words. When the various tenta
tive drafts were drawn up, it was
clear that no such plank can be writ
ten which will not have -the appear
ance of a weak straddle. All this
process rather took the heart out of
some of the wet leaders.
Both Leaders Sidestep.
Then the subject was approached
from a different angle. The wet lead
ers had been basing their ideas upon
the theory that there are a great
any votes to be got by a wet plank.
Some of these same wet leaders are
identified with the fortunes of one of
the candidates for president. To these
wet leaders the other leaders pro-1
posed the following solution: They
proposed that the platform should be
silent, but that this wet candidate for
the presidency should send a tele
gram to the convention, stating his
personal position in favor of a wet.
or at least a moist." regime. When
this proposal was put up to the wet
leaders, and when they in turn put
It up to their candidate for the presi
dency, both they tnd he were dis
posed to sidestep.
By this episode, the minds of every
body concerned became more or less
clarified, and it was apparent that the
position of the wet leaders amounted
to wanting the democratic party as a
whole to take the odium of a wet
position, but wanting to save their
candidate from that embarrassment.
The attitude of the other leaders was

NEW YORK. June 25 Speedy rati
fication of the treaty of Versailles,
after tho elimination of article X of
the league of nations covenant, was
urged by Herbert C. Hoover, in a
statement published today In the New
York Evening Post as the platform on
which the republican party should
stand In the coming presidential
election
Mr. Hoover took the stand that the
implied threat of employment of mili
tary force to guarantee the integrity
of foreign states was out of place In a
league which he declared was the
product of the liberal ideals of the
world.
The league's power, he declared,
would be more potent if the threat of
military force were removed and the
league relied wholly on its, "moral and
economic power."
Revision Held Necessary.
"It appears to me to be time to
raise the question," said Mr. Hoover,
as to whether this same cause I refer
to the guarantees and the use of mil
itary force that has brought about
the dissension in the United States Is
not also undermining the league in
Europe. " Has not experience
and discussion shown that the time
