CERTAINTY AT

Palmer Regarded Out of - Race;
i McAdoo Is Strong; Cox Stands
Well, But Is in Great Danger.
WHERE DEMOCRATIC HOSTS WILL "ASSEMBLE TO NAME PRESIDENTIAL TICKET
.-.:
t By John Callan O'Lionghlln ! ,
San Franctsco, June 26. You can
pay your noney and take your choice
so. far as guessing the, nominee of
the Democratic national convention
is concerned. In Chicago, everybody
was eertain that this or that candi
date would be chosen. In San Fran
cisco everybody believes this or that
candidate will be selected.
All agree the convention here will be
deadlocked, all agree that a little coterie
of men will assemble about next Wed -neHday
morning in a convenient hotel
room and when the atmosphere has
reached the inspiring stage of blue
murkiness caused by the smoke arising
from the tips of expensive cigars, they
Will decide to attempt to put somebody
over. Who that is the oracle does not
disclose. But this is the way the in
terpreters of the silent one dope the
situation :
. Attdrney General Palmer is regarded
as out of the race. ..
ST no SO MtADOO CURRENT
There Is a strong undercurrent run
ning for McAdoo.
Governor Cox has the pole, but , is
in danger of being pocketed if he shows
too much reserve strength ; and is sub
ject -especially to the hostility of Bryan.
Ambassador Davis is a good man, but
the country does not know him.
There is some talk of Secretary of
Agriculture Meredith, because the party
has the labor and needs the farmer
vote. ; v.. .
But he says he is not a candidate, but
is for McAdoo. He Is a receptive presi
dential, candidate.
Homer Cummings, national chairman,
has friends in Washington, in Connecti
cut and in intermediate states.
Occasionally, and with the effect of
surprise, .one hears of Vice President
Marshall and ex-Speaker Clark.
Finally, the question is asked, what
about the president, and is Secretary of
State Bainbrldge Colby his real choice?
BRTAJf IS ELIMINATED
- I have circulated today among the
leaders and the delegates. The former
look wise and know nothing, the latter
look ignorant and are. And who . are
the leaders, and who among them will
constitute the king makers? With haste,
there can be eliminated : from among
them William Jennings Bryan. He can
destroy, but he cannpt select. This mas
ter politician is playing his own game.
He is the cat that walks by himself.
His tongue is lapping his lips and he
is angrily waving his tail, to which the
dry can, is tied, as he schemes to ob
tain "the - cream of the convention -the
undisputed leadership. He does . not
want to be in with the bosses, and if
he did . he-could not be. He does not
want to be In with the administration,
forces, and if he did he could not bef
It is j the unwary delegate he is after,
the delegate he can . wean away from
the leaders or the delegate he can force.

Nebraska is planning a tremedous as

for -delegate at large, Harding evi
dently Intends t6 take Daugherty

That Daugherty is disliked in Ohio is'
sufficiently shown by the primary vote.
There werevfour,, candidates ; for dele

personally chosen by, Harding nuuseic
The managers for General Wood put up
only two candidates. Ex-Governor Myron
T. Herrick led the Harding ticaet wun
132.000 votes, and 'with two others on
that ticket, was elected. Daugherty had
only 107,000, and was beaten by W. H.
Boy, one of the wood candidates.

It appears that : "the opposition to
Daugherty is - based largely upon his
past record as a lobbyist for the trac

and the - political methods he has used,
dating back to the time when he was
one of the captains for Mark Hanna.
He is much liked by Harding, however,
took charge of powwow in Chicago that
led to Harding's nomination,, and since
the convention has been In - Washington

Daugherty is one of an interesting
group constituting the chief advisers of
the candidate, aside from the senatorial
srrouo that "out him over", at Chicago.
