Cute -Middle
(Something like
ring worm)
NamelsNeed
(Harding's is only
; Gamaliel) -t
of Democrats
By Ring V. Lardner
San' Francisco. CaJ.. June 26.
Willie Bryan hit the old burg last
night . and took a load off of
the party's mind
if any, as they
thought he- might
probably not show
up and that would
make this conven
tion illegal In ad
dition to useless.
.Jlmmie Montague
the poet who is
also my boss on
this trip asked me
to go to the 'great uncommoner's
room and get a Interview so I went
to his room and rapped and a voice
says, "who is it" and ltold him the
truth and the voice says, theys no
body home. It was the same voice
that said we shouldn't ought to
crucify mankind upon a cross of
gold in 1896 or any other year.
This year he ,wanta a . dry plank Jta
the, platform which means that prohibi
tion will keep on continuing and crucify
mankind upon a cross between : ether
and prune juice at $20 a quart.
MUST HAVE CUTE NAME 1
Anyway I didn't get no Interview out
of him, but X did talk to a whole lot of
delegates and the Idear now seems to be
that the only chance the Democrats has
got to win this fall is : to either' nom
inate a lady or else get a man with as
cute a middle jiame as Mr. Harding's,
which, .as everybody knows, is Gamaliel.
As soon as this idear was decided on
the head guys went out and paged all the
candidates to see, wnom naa mt ijuiesi
middle name, buf the results wtfnt all
that could be expected. For Instant they
found out that Irvln Cobb'mlddIe name
Is Shrewsbury and ex-Senator Lewis' is
Ham and Marshall's ; Is Weasel and
Gerard's isJ; Words or something and
Obx' is Waffles or something and WU
son's la Woodrewv and In fact pretty
near all the leaders . las, rniddlenarnes
that begins with a W, including myself,
but none of - them half as cute as
Gamaliel. , , "
BISfG WORM, CHARMS
So me being a pretty fair politician by
this time to say nothing about a quick
thinker, why I .told them why not pick
en me as their 'candidate -on this plank
because my middle ;-ame also begins
with a W. but its a whole lot cuter than
the other birds and a specially when you
nut it into a combination with -my first
name, so they asked me what was the
combination and I told them King worm.
Well that isn't the truth and I won't tell
nobody what the real combination Is,
hut the delegates have fell for what I
told them and it now looks like I would
stampede the convention on this basis.
That is provided I keep out of taxlcabs
in San Francisco till if is time for the
nominations or ' otherwise they would
didate and at that X suppose they might
just .as well. -. r ) .
TAXI IS AFTER WALKERS
We thought the taxi drivers in old Chi
was a little bit slaughterous till we. seen
the birds here, and they make the Chit-ago
boys look, different-; Last night I
Mr. Montague and Mr. Cobb decided
we better go out and call on Hiram: W.
Johnson and congratulate him and) we
got In. a taxi and the driver believed in
saving tires by; only running on one at
S time. -nd I was setting next to Mr.
Cobb in the back seat and even Mr. Cobb

CITY EDITION
In Fighting Speech Commoner
I Demands That Prohibition Be
Made Chief Campaign . Issue!
Declares It Would Be Crime to
Drag Treaty Into the Political
Mire: He Assails. Profiteers.
By Hugh Balllie :
San Francisco; June 26. TJ. P.)
W. J. Bryan today launched his
drive against administration control
of the convention. In a fighting
speech he laid bare his plan of ac-1
tlon and demanded that prohibition
and not the League of Nations be
made the paramount issue "of the
campaign.' ' .
Bryan's i verbal batteries were un
masked and turned loose with dramatic
effect at a luncheon today.- His drum
fire echoed and reverberated through the
corridors of. the Palace hotel, amid, the
cheering of his adherents, t As he spoke
Pin one of r the banquet halls, delegates
and campaign workers, pushing and
crowding their wiy through the lobbies
outside, heard the demonstration, looked
at each other and asked. "What's that?"
And the. reply. "That's Bryan," told
the story. , '
COTEKTION i STORM CENTER- r "
, The Nebraskan had started hiSvlong
awaited offensive-aCrowds surged toward
the doors of - the room ' where he was
hurling hls denunciatory ; bonmbs v at
his opponents. In a moment he became
the storm center of the convention. His
fists clenched, hair disheveled, his voice
one moment low and vibrant with emo
tion, the next raised to a veritable shout,
mopping the perspiration from his face
as he paused for breath during bursts
of applause, : the commoner stood, a de
termined figure in. the midst of the
throng, thundering 'his political war
chant. :'"-:';
The speech was unexpected ; he had
been scheduled only to make a quiet lit
tle address to- the Commonwealth club,
and few had expected him' to come Into
the open in such a manner. But the
word rippled through " the crowds and
into the candidates' headquarters and
to the ears of party officials that "Bry
an has Btartea." and for a moment he
became the biggest figure inr the con
vention picture. . J
WOULD AJtXIHILATE WETS
. Bryan took a definite stand on three
issues.. . He 1 declared for. war . of anni
hilation n the wets,' for a labor plank
which would provide for investigation
of all industrial - disputes the -eame as

Ing in, headquarters are being es
tablished and the delegates are ex
changing, calls. -
Enough can be learned to make it
quite evident that the wets have
been whistling to keep up their cour
age. The ; foam . on ' the Edwards
boom te gone and the men who Were
confidently predicting a . wet ,plank
are now talking about a compromise
which will omit all reference -to the
subject. . ' .
WHAT TMET KSOW
They know that they cannot, secure
anything like a majority of .the commit
tee on resolutions it ur doubtful If they
could secure one-third. -They know, too,
that on roll call they could hot secure a
third of the convention. ' , ,
The Democrats, from ' the dry states
would not dare to go on record in favor
of any plank looking to a reopening of
the liquor question. And any adverse
vote in the convention would be a great
burden to carry in congressional districts
where they hope to make a flgbt for a
wet congress. .
Another difficulty that confronts them
is that they cannot agree oa the alcoholic
contents..
THIRST PEGBEKS DIFFERENT
A declaration In ' favor of light wine
and beer without fixing any alcoholic
content would,, of course, lay them open
to the charge of attempting to violate
the -amendment by. statute and the su
preme court .has sufficiently" indicated
its determination - to protect the eight
eenth amendment, if they attempt to fix
a per cent they are at once confronted
by .the different degrees .of . thirst reg
lstered among the wets.. !

Close Race Predicted Between
.Palmer and Cox McAdoo or
Dark Horse Likely to, Win.
By William Philip Simms
San Francisco, June 28. (I. N. S.)
With most of the actors here
waiting for the opening of the Dem
ocratic convention Monday at noon,,
the hotels where the various head
quarters of the presidential candi
dates are located tonight were. veri
table Babels of political confusion.
The situation was Ubout thus:
One candidate. Secretary of Agricul
ture Meredith, of Iowa, had withdrawn
from the race, the announcement coming
In the form of a formal statement from
Meredith himself.
Two other candidates. Attorney Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer and Governor
James M. Cox of Ohio, were - fightinjr
each other for the lead on the opening
ballots, with their chances apparently
about fifty-fifty.
M'ADOO SEXTIMEJfT GROWS"
William Gibbs McAdoo, former secre
tary of the treasury, once more surged
ahead, and according to surface indit-a-tions.
waa again the favorite. Aa the
delegations arrive and organize. Mc
Adoo is mentioned more and more as
second and third choice, political leader
from practically every section declnrins
that -McAdoo Is their ultimate choice
If he will accept the nomination.
That a mighty effort will be made by
the delegates friendly to McAdoo to nut
him over after the first few ballots has
become a certainty. The only thing that
can stop this move is a formal, signed
statement from the former secretary of
the treasury himself categorically refus
ing the nomination even if tendered him
a statement not yet forthcoming. To
the contrary, his friends were making it
plain tonight that they were convinced
McAdoo wou!d.run if nominated, .
PALMER COI KTt,
Palmer and Cox are belnar nlaved
against each other and the prediction
was made here tonight that after mak
ing a handsome showing In the first
stages Of the bcllotlng, both would fall
back while their votes went to Mc
Adoo. ,
The Palmer people insist that after
the early balloting the Cox vote will

fls being made by the Cox neonle. while
the Mt-Arfoo faction assert the support
of both these candidates will disinte
grate and come to their man.
It now seems certain that the admin
istration forces will be in control. Presi
dent Wilson is In close touch by special
wire arrangements and no vital move
will be undertaken without his knowl
edge. . v
There Is scarcely a possibility that,
Preslde-it WiWon himself iil be nomi
nated for a third term. A pretty ex
haustive canvass of the' state delega
tions now here revealed a very strong
sentiment against the party taking such
a step.
KTROSG FOR WII.KOV
"We are strong for Wllon," It wa.i
stated time and time again, "but we
would never support him for' a third
term. lie will not ak for if? either."
On the authority of one of the candi
dates for the nomination It may be
stated that at some time durlnc th
convention the president will make his
position clear to the Democratic dele
gates assembled. Whether this revela
tion -will come In the form of a speech
by some man chosen for the occasion.
In a signed message to his followers
such as he sent to the Jackson, day
