nated, there is not much doubt of
his working just a little harder to
morrow to win the nomination for
himself or his friend Palmer.
Poverty Plea Is Upset.
Mr. McAdoo's poverty plea was
further upset by the disclosure today
that 12 or 16 California delegates are
voting for him on the score that he

Implores his fellow delegates on each
ballot to stick to McAdoo because
the latter has purchased a very large
tract of valuable ground at Santa
Barbara and proposes soon to erect
one of the most magnificent winter
residences in southern California.
This information, when added to
the fact that a McAdoo summer home
was recently purchased at Hunting
ton, Long Island, at extravagant cost,
increase the evidence of insincerity,
hypocrisy and plain buncombe which
characterize the open and itching
desiro of a certain candidate to ob
tain a nomination which he is "too
poor" to accept.

lie is one democrat who talks
aloud. He gave me permission this
morning to quote him as follows:
What the great mass of the rank
nd file of the democratic party is
demanding now is that the dead hand
shall be taken off this convention,
and that the men who fight the bat
tle of the party shall be given an op
portunity to name their choice for
president and vioe-presldent without
dictation from cabinet officers or les
ser federal officials."
Cox. McAdoo to Combine.
But still I decline to make predic
tions, because against all that I
learned from the leader jirst out of
conference I find the widespread
feeling that some time today or to
night the McAdoo managers and the
Cox managers "w ill get together and
agree on a ticket that will read: For
president, William Gibbs McAdoo; for
vice-presid'ent. James M. Cox.
I do not believe It. Murphy, Tag-
Bart, Brennan and the other great
boss, Jim Nugent of New Jersey, will
hold another all-night caucus to
night which will be worth watching.
One fact stands out unmistakably
tonight and that is that nothing has
happened - since the convention ad
journed last night to break the dead
lock. The Cox and the McAdoo
boosters will renew their efforts in
the morning in behalf of their re
spective candidates and I cannot see
the success of either of theme

Secretary IHiniels sits with the
Vorth Carolina delegation and is
nandling it in his own way for Mc
adoo, while Postmaster-General Bur
leson, wfcth Tom Love, former assist
int secretary of the treasury, deliv
!rs the Texas delegation with great
egularity on every ballot to the
White House heir. At the same time
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia,
former secretary of the treasury, re
tains the Virginia delegation for him
self under a unit rule because if he
permits It to break away, the ma
jority of the delegates will vote
against President Wilson's daughter's
husband.
Proxy Delea-atra Protested.
But that is not all against which
this conference protested and ex
pressed its deep resentment, accord
ing to my informant. The scheme by
which federal employes obtained seats
as delegates and are seeking to hold
their delegations in line for the son-
in-law was denounced as against
sound public policy. It was pointed
out that a large number of federal
officials fearing to be too active in
primaries and conventions. Induced
friends to be candidates for delegates.
After these friends succeeded, proxies
were delivered to the goverpment
Job-holders who are holding down the
seats and voting for McAdoo on
every ballot.
One of the many examples of this
. aort is the postmaster of Santa
Barbara, Cal., who ran his father for
delegate. The father won and the
postmaster wears the delegate's badge
and is leading a struggle to keep a
large number of delegates from
southern California in line for Mr.
McAdoo, the candidate who is too poor
to run for the office. Postmasters are
under the civil service which forbids
all political activity.
A few Wilson office holders, more
daring than the rest, are actually
occupying seats in their own name
and pulling for the White House can
didate. One of these is Governor
Thomas Riggs of Alaska. When a
well-known democrat from Seattle
told Governor Riggs last night that
he was ready to support any candi
date mentioned except McAdoo, the
Alaska governor broke into a rage
and exclaimed: "Then you are against
Che administration."
Delegates Wrathful Over Pose.
The whole farce of the son-in-law
pretending that he is not a candidate
while his retainers fight to the last
flitch to nominate him is stirring the
wrath of all the other forces and of
many of the delegates who would like
to retain some self-respect and re
cpect for the democratic party.
An example of the brazen falsity of
all Mr. McAdoo s pretenses of shrink
lng from a nomination is offered in
the conduct of his next-door neighbor
and close personal friend, Stuart G.
Gibbony. who announced on his way
Co San Francisco that he was author
lred to do anything to prevent the
naming of the son-in-law. Mr. Gib
lony obtained a delegate's proxy soon

With the arrival in Portland this
week of two modern "pied pipers' in
the shape of two government experts
sent out. by the United States public
health office, a campaign of rat ex

city as the best means of preventing

tions of an epidemic at Vera Cruz.
The campaign to be inaugurated in
Portland will be one of similar cam
palgns all over the country. The
bubonic plague is primarily a disease
which is carried and transmitted by
rodents, especially rats, and the best
means of controlling it has been found
to be to exterminate the rat.
The campaign for the extermination
of rats will be directed by the experts

SAN FRANCISCO. July 4. (Spe
cial.) William Gibbs McAdoo's band
wagon, which was running along
smoothly and making pleasing prog
ress, ran into a washout on the tenth
ballot yesterday afternoon Just 385
votes from its main terminal in
Oregon, i
Oregon stands as the base of all
calculations In the McAdoo candidacy
because it was the only state sending
a delegation here solidly instructed
for the president's son-in-law, and by
a washout I mean that McAdoo's can
didacy encountered the great wet
drive which showed up in behalf of
Governor Cox of Ohio on the seventh
ballot.
The halting of the McAdoo move
ment was not a sudden development.
McAdoo Stopped by Bosses.
The real plans for .stopping the
vvhlte House heir were 'worked out
at an all-night conference between
Charles F. Murphy. Tammany chief
tain; George Brennan, Illinois boss;
Tom Taggart, Indiana boss, and
James R. Nugent, head of the New
Jersey democratic state machine.
There was no secret as to the con
ference. All of the candidates were
considered and Cox was chosen for
the fight because of his advantageous
location in a pivotal state and for his
known leanings toward the, wet side
or the prohibition issue.
The first acquaintance I met on my
arrival at the auditorium yesterday
morning was a man high in the man
agement of the candidacy of Governor
Edwards of New Jersey, outspoken
wet. tie said:
"Well, we have McAdoo stouned.
He will not get more than 400 votes."
.Much additional Information was
volunteered regarding the all-night
conference which was upheld in every
aetau.oy wnat began to happen on
the seventh ballot. On that ballot
New York's delegation of 90 left Gov
ernor Smith and gave 68 votes to
Cox. New Jersey swung away from
Edwards, giving Cox 25 of it's 28
votes.
Indiana Starts Break.
McAdoo received 884 votes on the
seventh ballot which was within one
vote of his peak attained on the
tenth ballot. McAdoo lost ground
steadily and Cox gained ground In
the states over which the big men
of last night s conference held control
Taggart's state of Indiana, started to
break away earlier than New York
and New Jersey but unfolded the
plan more slowly, giving only four
votes on the fifth ballot and feeding
a few more in for the Ohio governor
on each ballot until on the fifteenth
when the entire 30 went to him. New
Jersey gave its entire 28 to Cox on
the fifteenth ballot.
Cox had risen steadily from 195 on
the sixth ballot to 468 on the fif
teenth ballot, while McAdoo had
shrunk from 385 on the tenth ballot
his highest vote, to 337 on the six
teenth.
une lox demonstration after an
other followed the announcements o
Cox gains and the McAdoo leaders
were becoming discouraged on the
twelfth ballot, admitting then that it
ooked like their man had no chance.
Cox Chance Seems Hopeless.
The sole importance of the Palmer
candidacy attached to the possible
trend of his support in the break
away.
When Cox dropped on the sixteenth
ballot from 4G8 to 454 Vz it became
apparent that he had about exhausted
his possibilities unless Attorney
General Palmer would quit the race
and release thereby a very large
number of wet votes in Pennsylvania
and two or three other states.
Palmer had given Cox his 36 votes
in the Illinois delegation to which
Boss Brennan very generously added
eight more for good measure, mak-
ng 44.
Moreover it was obvious that the
number of delegates who could be
voted for a wet candidate was ex
hausted without some help from the
Palmer lineup and two or three of the
favorite sons. Tennessee's swing of
its entire 24 votes on the sixteenth
ballot to John W. Davis of West Vir
ginia, for whom it had never cast
more than five votes previously,
looked like the first stampede from
the big three candidates and was ac
cepted as an intimation that the dark
horse movement was on.
Adjournment Downs Dark aHorse.
Here an adjournment was moved
by the anti-Cox forces, which .car
ried, and this recess, taken until 8
o'clock, probably prevented a nomi
nation being made yesterday. During
this recess the Cox managers begged
the bosses to hold on for a few bal
lots and give them a chance to recoup
their losses. Tennessee was implored
to return to the Cox lines on the sev
enteenth ballot, but after that it be
came plain that the entire contest had
degenerated into a struggls between
the bosses on the one hand and two
groups of federal office holders on
the other.

Ride on Goodyear Tires in That
Sturdy Small Car of Yours
m
It surprises certain users of small cars to find
that they can, obtain Goodyear Tires at a first
cost ordinarily not greater, and sometimes less,
than that of other tires.
This initial value, as well as the very low final
cost, results from the application of Goodyear
experience and care to their manufacture in
the world's largest tire factory devoted to 30x3-,
30 x 3V2" and 31 x 4-inch sizes.
Such facts explain why more cars, using these
sizes, were factory -equipped last year with
Goodyear Tires than with any other kind.
If you drive a Ford, Chevrolet, Maxwell, or
Dort take advantage of the opportunity to
enjoy real Goodyear value and economy; equip
