AMONG CANDIDATES
Leaders Are Endeavoring to
Round Up Sentiment.
at the outset it gave promise of
being pretty prosaic and polite and
some of the audience left. But those
who stayed were well repaid. Chair
man Cummings had something more
of a task than tickling the ears In
exciting the passions of the imme
diate crowd. . He was talking to the
entire democratic party and ' to so
much of the whole people as would
listen. He was the official yell
leader of the lesser democratic rabble
rousers and the crossroads speechi

Blodel Oration Attempted.
It was to be the model oration for
the whole campaign. Therefore It
had to have punch, penetration, power,
phrases and a fact, here and there.

Undoubtedly, it had been read in

corrected and amplified. Here and
there was a phrase which jnight have

MURPHY IN BAD HUMOR
Nomination of Dry Candidate
Would Injure Ticket In New
York, Says Politician.
Tonight snowed the first signs of
a movement among the leaders ana
managers to round up eentiment
among the unlnetructed delegations
and compute the possibilities of nom
inating somebody.
Principally, the night was given
over to meetings of the four big
committees in the great building
which also contains the convention
auditorium. The leaders and candi
date managers are all under one roof,
arM although they are principally en
gaged in committee business, they
are not losing the opportunity to con
fer and possibly get together on the
makings of a slate of their own, or
possibly decide to accept one which
the drift among the delegations may
be forcing on them.
Supporters Hope for Sign.
McAdoo boomers hoped all day that
their candidate would make some
(statement amplifying the declaration
of National Committeeman Love of
Texas, that the nomination would
not be rejected. Some were disap
pointed and others thought Mr. Mc
Adoo in view of repeated previous
declarations of declination was pur
suing a wise 'course in remaining
silent.
Palmer people continued their ef
forts to make a strong showing on
the opening ballots and the Cox peo
ple were doing the same. About the
only point the three forces would
agree upon was that there would be
no nomination on the first ballot and
most of them seemed to agree that
there would be no nomination in lees
than three to five.
The McAdoo people today agreed
upon Sam B. Amidon of Wichita, Kan.,
as their floor leader and at the same
time began picking out a represen
tative on each of the state delega
tions. His selection was made at a
conference of McAdoo supporters who
described themselves as "bitter end
ers." Cone Johnson of Texas, a for
mer solicitor of the state department.
Representative Haley of South Caro
lina, and Mrs. Peter Olesen .of. Minne
sota, were among: the assistants se
lected for Amidon." ;
Tammany Help Not Expected.
" Most of the McAdoo boomers are
saying they do not expect any sup
port from the Tammany delegation
of New "fork unless it becomes appar
ent that the former secretary will be
nominated. Talk of Secretary Mere
dith for second place as McAdoo's
running mate, continued to be heard
in the convention gossip. ,
The talk of candidates on the wtioll
tonight is almost where It was last
week without any appearance of
strength enough for a nomination at
any corner of the triangle'. Mr. Bryan
and some others still feel that the
question of candidates cannot become
a thoroughly active one until the plat
form issueo have been settled. Ad
ministration supporters said tonight
they were confident that the plat
form would be written in thorough
going terms of support for President
Wilson and his administration and
many of them predicted that It would
contain neither a wet nor a dry plank.
SNAKY COMPLAINT FILED
Husband Avers Wife Took Part In
Frolicsome Dances.
"We danced and drank until we
were all seeing snakes," boasted
Selma Wisdom to her husband, Grover
Wisdom, following a little party in
Seattle on March 6, 1920, says the
husband in a divorce complaint filed
in the circuit court yesterday. She
made the further assertion, it is main
mined, that "every guy that dances
with me has to pay me."
In his complaint the husband gives
was there, even the significant sug
gestion that the republicans could
find not & word to say for Ireland,
carrying with it the inference that
the democrats should and would sup
ply the omission.
In the same paragraph was a tear
ful reference to Armenia, 'but there
are some who remember, if Orator
Cummings did not, that the demo
crats in congress voted down this
presidential plan for an Armenia
mandate with substantially the same
fervent unanimity as the republicans
did. But Cummings was making a
Wilson speech, he was not Justifying j
nor explaining democratic opposi
tion to Wilson nor democratic divi
sion and confusion out of any of his
policies or actions.
Bid Made for Irish Vote.
The one unexpected feature of the
Cummings keynote was the open bid
for the Irish vote by his mention of
Ireland. It was a hint as to what the
convention should do, and probably
will do. It will give three cheers
for' Ireland. That is all. Angels
could do no more, if they had other
wise committed themselves to a league
of nations which includes standpat
article 10.
Except for article 10, sympathizers
with the Irish cause mightly easily
be reconciled to the Wilson league of
nations or something like it. But
with article 10 every friend of free
Ireland is opposed to the league and
all its works. They think It spells
the doom of Irish- independence and
all the unctuous persuasions of demo
cratic platform eloquence will not
convince them otherwise. It has been
a difficult problem to solve for the
democrats, and it appeared until today
that they had decided to give up all
the specious attempts to fool the un
foolable Irish.
Now it is clear that the platform is
at once to contain an indorsement of
article 10, which commits the desti
nles of Ireland forever to Great Brit
ain and commits also the United
States to a policy of non-interference
for Ireland,' and is to have also
tender and beautiful sentiment about
the Irish cause.
He Valera Wants Declaration.
De Valera is here and he wants a
declaration favoring the independence
of Ireland. Nothing less. Probably
he will have something to say on the
Question, later.
One notable merit of the Cummings
effort was that it appeared to please
all factions. If Mr. Cummings, as
ono voice of the president here, has
any preferences as to candidate, he
did not show it today. It may be
questioned whether an outright hint
from the White House that the presi
dent wants any particular person
nominated would help that person.
The McAdoo movement has reached
swelling dimensions without the
White House sanction. The president
has played no favorites as between
McAdoo and. Palmer. The latter is
going ahead with a somewhat shaky
candidacy as if he expected to be
nominated.
All the mechanics of convention
promotion and manipulation are be
ing employed for him. He has brass
bands and marching clubs, pictures,
badges, booze and every other known
device to keep alive the enthusiasm of
his followers and to impress the gen
eral public.
Palmer Clique in Evidence.
At the convention today an organ
ized Palmer clique was much In evi
dence. But the convention takes but
languid interest in Palmer. It looks
for him to drop out early in the bal
loting amidst exclamations of gen
eral approval.
The pins are all set up for McAdoo.
The McAdoo strategy has been to
make it appear that the call for him
came from the convention itself and
was in no way inspired by the White
House nor by the ex-secretary. It has
succeeded, wonderfully. The Cox

Quarterly Licenses to Operate Must

"For-hire" car drivers in Portland
must have quarterly licenses by July
1. or stop operation. Usually ten
days' grace' is allowed, but according
to Motor Bus Inspector Gill the grace

The reason given by Inspector Gill
Is the lack of protection which re
sults because of the period of grace.
Automobile drivers cancel their bonds
on the day that the license expires
and do not renew the bonds until the
ten days has expired. During this
time they operate without protection

no redress is possible.

nothing, and leaving both the wets

peared to Ohio the wise course.
, The pronouncement, leaving them,
high, if not dry, greatly incensed the
wet states of New York, New Jersey
and Illinois, and they began to lose
interest in Cox. Now there are signs
that Murphy and New York are ready
to open negotiations with McAdoo. If
they can make any kind of terms it
may be found that they are not irrec
oncilable - toward the presidential
son-in-law.
Some of the Cox people are talking
of the Ohioan for second place. Mc

Ideal of a winning combination, the
one from New York, the other from
Ohio, the one dry and the other wet.
Fine work.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
(Copyright by the Bell Syndicate. Pub

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. (Spe
cial.) If there were a Homer in thii
town he would be engaged In singing
the horror of Charles F. Murphy. Mr.
Murphy came to San Francisco ex
pecting to assist in the nomination of
James W. Cox as a presidential can
didate. Cox, he figured, was a good,
liberal candidate, living close enough
to Kentucky to favor high alcoholic
content in hootch, and a very free
construction of the Volstead act. Mr.
Murphy had a good deal to say in
Cox's favor, both in public and in
camera, to borrow a phrase from an
exalted source.
He allowed that while the boys
from Fourteenth street. New York
and vicinity, would be constructively
tor Al Smith, they would be ready to
leap lightly into the Cox camp when
ever their votes were wanted. So
.vfr. Murphy, co-operating with Nor
man Mack of Buffalo and other grave
and reverend counselors, made all the
necessary arrangements to support
the Ohioan.
And then, 'without the slightest
warning. In dropped one of the Cox
men, and told Mr. Murphy that Cox
was not nearly as anti-prohibition as
he was painted; that, in- fact, he
would be perfectly willing to run on a
dry platform.
Murphy Is Nerrons.
Mr. Murphy, who Is considerably
more than an eagle's talon about the
waist, gasped. And he doesn't 'gasp
easily. The noise of his rasping was
heard in several adjoining rooms and
r-umber of his attendants hastened
in to see what was the matter. They
soon found out. Mr. Murphy was in
:i state of nervous fury. He felt that
his confidence had been betrayed,
that his efforts had been wasted, that
altogether he had been foully dealt
with.
And when, along with the rest of
the delegates, he went into the con
vention today to listen - to -Homer
Cummings sound -the keynote of the
campaign,' he had already begun the
formulation of new arrangements.
From now on, until Mr. Murphy can
find a candidate to his liking, his
followers will stick firmly to Al
Smith in the balloting. Meanwhile,
.Mr. Murphy will seek out a man who
is positively, unqualifiedly and
phatically wet, and who will insist
on a plank that is equally so.
Mr. Murphy is a democrat all right
and would like to see a democrat in
the White House. But he is also boss
of Tammany hall and wants to win
for that organization just as many
offices as he possibly can.
And he firmly believes that any
candidate who has the least taint of
prohibition on him, not only will lose
in the nation, but will drag the New
York ,state and judicial ticket down
with' him. Mr. Murphy has seen too
many state and judicial tickets
dragged down to care for that sort
of thing. AVhich is why he is off of
Cox, and will doubtless remain off
of him. ...
Murphy Is Limp.
The Murphy defection has, of
course, heartened some of the other
candidates and there is a great deal
of McAdoo talk around today. But
there is not enough of it yet. And too
much of it is done by delegates who
will have nothing whatever to say in
the final decision. It would be fool
ish to prophesy that Murphy will
support no candidate who is dry. but
he will not do so unless he absolutely
has to.
The shock he suffered when he dis
covered that Cox was not as guaran
teeu has left him pretty limp. But
ho will get going again' before the
end of the week. And inasmuch as
he has practically the whole New
York state delegation in his vest
pocket, -what he does will make a
difference.
As for the Cox' people, they are
now insisting that Cox is just as
liberal as he ever was. And that
doesn't help matters much, for every
time they try to placate Murphy, they
infuriate Bryan. And that is the rea
son that you will read in the news
chronicles of papers today that the
outstanding feature of the conven
tion's opening is the dropping and
withering of the once highly promis
ing Cox boom.
escorted . to the platform, the hall
finally hushed and prepared, to listen
with close attention to his keynote
address. Delegates expected some
thing to cheer at. They were in the
mood for it and they were not.dis-
pomtea.
Crovrd Soon ftulted.
Mr. Cummings began in a quiet
voice. A few shouts of ."louder" camel
from far back in the hall, but he I
had not proceeded far before thel
great throng was so still that every
syllable was carried to the highest I
galleries. It was a long speech. Mr.
Cummings suggested that to his)
hearers, but cries of "go on," "take
your time!" met him. He drove his
points home hard and his audience!
was alert to cap them with shouted
approval. At one point he chided
the Chicago platform .of the republi
cans Decause it contained, he said, no
word of hope for Ireland, no word of I
mercy for Armenia and because it
"concealed a sword" for Mexico.
Back among the alternates, a wom
an leaped to her feerat the mention
of Ireland, shouting hysterically
something about "British tyranny in
ireiana.
"That's the answer: we're not mem
bers of the lepgue!" Chairman Cum
mings called back at her, but even
as he spoke the serjeants-at-arms
were moving down to prevent further
interruption and delegates, intent on
their chairman s arraignment of re
publican policies, shouted "Sit down!"
Attacks Win Approval.
When Mr. Cummings characterized
the Chicago platform as a master
piece of . evasion," a shout greeted
the attack, and a moment later, when
he declared that "old guard" had sold
the honor of the nation at Chicago to
name a reactionary candidate, it
grew into a roar, punctuated with
cries of Go to it!" "Hit em again!
That's the stuff!"
The chairman went through the
history of the league from the first
mention of it in diplomatic corre
spondence before the United States
entered the war to the second re
fusal of the " senate to ratify the
treaty that contains it. He quoted
utterances of Senator Lodge and the
late President Roosevelt as saying
that some concert of powers must be
formed. He said the last of the 14
points enunciated by President Wil
son had . contained practically the
language of article 10 of the cove
nant and that no word had been
raised then against it
League Roll Is Called.
"The real trouble with the treaty,'
Mr. Cummings said, "is that it was
negotiated by a democrat." Uproar-
ous applause welcomed the jibe.

answered.

to be done and it was rushed through
without incident and adjournment

bitter sneer at the late Chicago con

OREGON PIONEER DIES
Mrs. Phoebe 31. Dekum, 80 Tears
Old, Succumbs in Los Angeles.
Word has been received In the city
that Mrs. Phoebe M. Dekum, 80 years
old, one of Oregon's oldest pioneers,
died Saturday evening at Los An
geles. Her death was due to an at
tack of paralysis. Funeral services
and cremation took place at Los An
geles yesterday and the ashes will
be sent to The Dalles, Mrs. Dekum's
old home, for burial.
Mrs. Dekum came to the Oregon
country . in 1853, accompanied by her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Jack
son of Youngstown, O. The first
family residence was established at
Oregon City, but later was changed
to -The Dalles, where in 1S67, Mrs.
Dekum met and married her first
husband. Judge Orlando Humason.
When it comes to campaign oratory, I Several years after the death of Judge

and girls with, too much high-brow
stuff, as some others do. ,

literary order, but it did not depart
from the accepted democratic formula
of a bang-up stump speech. It was
all that and gooi composition. Right

Dekum, who died In 1894.
Six years ago Mrs. Dekum moved

grew and grew, a formless, toneless
thing that had in It something that
stirred the blood and stirred the emo
tions. Delegates leaped on their
chairs, waving and shouting. They
stampeded into aisles, jostling and
cheering in a packed mass before the
platform.
Delegates Join in Parade.
Over in the Virginia section a man
ripped the state standard - from the
floor and charged toward the speak
er's stand, waving it high in the air.
Other states followed. Some of them
were slower to get in motion, but as
ti shouting and tumult continued
standard after standard came up and
the march around the hall began. In
the New York section Assistant Seo-
etary of the Navy Roosevelt seized
the standard and pushed into the
crowded aisle, battling with others
who sought with eager bands to up
hold the sign.
But there were some among the
New York delegation who struggled
with Roosevelt to prevent him carry
ing the state standard in the demon
stration for the president. There was
a lively scrimmage akin to a center
rush in a football game, in which
fists were flying and there seemed
danger of bloody noses. A policeman
who interfered got a pummellng, one
man lost his coat and several men
lost their nose glasses. No one was
hurt, the protesting delegates changed
their minds and Roosevelt triumph
antly marched off with the New York
standard to join the Wlison demon
stration. A shout of added intensity marked
the delegates' recognition of the in
cident and a cheer for Roosevelt was
all but lost in the general tumult.
It was long before order could be
restored. Even when Vice-Chairman
Kremer had launched upon his spuech
echoes of the storm still lurked In
the air. He was repeatedly. Inter
rupted by the clamor of approval that
greeted every thrust at the repub
