Dr. Jenkins Declares Statement of
Farmer Treasyj 'Head Gives
Aii - the More Reason for His
Nomination at: San I Francisco.
Kansas City, June 18. (L N.-S.)
. Declaring that he has not changed
his attitude on William G. McAdoo,
for whom he Is scheduled to deliver
the nominating speech at the Dem
ocratic national convention at i San
Francisco, Dr; Burris Jenkins, edi
tor and publisher of the Kansas pity
Post, Issued the following statement
here today: ...,.!.
"The statement of William O. McAdoo,
declinins to: sanction the placing- of: his
name before the San "Francisco conven
tion is all the 'more reason for his! se
lection as the Democratic candidate.
HEAD IS WOT TCB5ED " j '
"Jn these days when other men are
running- around the country spending
millions endeavoring to get themselves
nominated 4t Is refreshing to find a man
'whose head is not turned by the possi
bility of attaining the highest office in
the world. I
Despite hie declaration. It is not con
ceivable that the former secretary of the
treasury would refuse to run -It he were
drafted. And that's Just what the. uemo-
cratlc convention should do dralt nim.
The welfare of the party and the nation
demands It. For he seems to offer the
. best hope of Democratic success i and
Democratic success is essential to I the
country's future, in view of the candi
dates and platform that came out oi tne
Chicago convention.
"The Other Democratic candidates are
all food men. but it is extremely doubt
ful that any one Of them Is well
enough known to the country generally
to hold out to the party the chances
of success that would go hand In hand
with the nomination of Mr. McAdoo.
POINTS EMPHASIZED 3
" "His statement refusing, to consent
to the use of his name only empha
sizes this. Consider the position he
fftkps on the League ot Nations, i He
says: ,
1 We must stand squarely for ratifi
cation of the league without debilitat
ing reservations. . -' i
"His advice on other questions of
Importance is equally sound - and
, etralghtferwrd, ' "
' Thoae who know Mr. McAdoo can
not picture him refusing the call to
service of bis country - and party; no
matter how great the personal sacri
fice, despite the fact that he has per
sistently refused, to become - a candi
date. "His record of public service pre-

OREGON DELEGATES
STILL FOR M'ADOO
McAdoo's statement that he is not
a ...candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination at the San
Francisco convention, does not seem
to have made much of a dent upon
the position of the Oregon "delega
tion, not at! least upon those three
members who are resident in Portland.-;-
-f ;:,-'"; :;r .;;
Mra Maria I T. Hidden, delegate at
large, "reads between the lines" to dis
cover that while McAdoo has said he
is not a candidate for the nomination, he
has not said that he would refuse to ac
cept it should it be tendered to him In
spite of his statement.
PLEDGE TO VOTERS BINDING
; "I believe that the Oregon delegation
Is bound by its pledge to vote for Mc
Adoo. on the first ballot, at least." Mra
Hidden explains. ' 1 "That action - might
result in his nomination. . He. has not
said that he - would refuse the nomina
tion if it was given him.. No man would
do that. He has said he is not a candi
date for the nomination ar.d I think he
is honest in his statement- However,
under the pledge taken by members of
the Oregon delegation,. I believe they are
bound to cast their votes for him on the
first ballot at least.-.
Mra Bessie Richards, delegate from
the third district, has much the same
view though she admits that "she does
not see the use of voting for Mr. Mc
Adoo.. If his name 1 not presented to
the convention. i '.'-'wii
"If McAdoo's name is presented to the"
convention I : consider- that I am bound
to cast my vote for him. Mra Richards
says. "I pledged, myself to., jdo so, and
my word i good.. If his name is not pre
sented to the - convention I do not see
the use of voting for him. but it is a
question demanding serious consideration.-.
- ; - - : - ' - -:
John . H. Stevenson. - the Multnomah
county colleague of Mrs. Richards on the
third district delegation, votes about the
same way. j 4
MORAL QUESTIOir I3TT01.VED i
"It is not a legal but a moral ques
tion," the judge said in handing down
his decision on the question. "If McAdoo
is not a candidate, says that he is not.
refuses to permit his name to go before
the convention as a candidate and an
nounces, beforehand, that he- would not
accept the nomination on a silver platter
If it were to be tendered to him, or words
to that effect, then, and in that con
tingency, I believe the course of the Ore
gon "delegation would rest within the
bosom of its conscience. In the face of
that emergency if McAdoo were to sug
gest that hia friends support-someone
named by him. that would be worth con
sideration by the delegation, though I
do not consider that it would be bound
by McAdoo's recommendation. Front
ing that dilemma the delegation would.
be. in my opinion, unbound and un
pledged and free to act of its own voli
tion and accord.
"However," Judge Stevenson contin
ued, "as 1 read Mr. McAdoo's statement,
he has not said all - that. He has re
marked, in his statement., that he is not
a candidate, but he has not announced
that he would not accept the nomina
tion if it came to him. notwithstanding
that statement. Lacking that ultima
tum,' I consider that the delegation is
bound by strong moral, if not by legal,.'
Donas, to cast its united and unanimous
ballot for William Gibbs McAdoo."
