THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PQRTLAND. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30. 1820. GUBUS MOST PliOiSIIiGHE OF-DARK HORSES t y David Lawrence , i (Ooprrlht.'l20) San '.Francisco, June -to Homer Cummlnfa ? of Connecticut, stands out thus far, asr ths " dark horse of the Democratic national contention if McAdoo .does- not win and the delegates are in' prolonged deadlock. The remarkable"" impression ; made by Cummlngi in hie keynote speech which wm full of praise' for Presi dent Wilson, would comrrfend him o the large number of delegate who are supporting Palmer and Mc- Adoobut who are at heart for the ' Wilson .man through , and t through. Convention strategr hasVnjade' tAe nomination of a dark tuwse Just; as much possible bere as 'it Jwas in Chi cago. The same sort, of psychological influences are at -work a made the Re publican ,: convention impatient . with deadlocks and anxious to mo home, and the tactics of . each of ne big three leaders Palmes. Cox and MeAdoo are link .a t nloVi ,nHlT "TAlUtlbl the wearing down of the strength mt each, ' The McAdoo sympathizers nave more enthusiasm thaa shrewdness. They are ' irtious any real leadership and. while this Is attributed to disinterestedness of McAdoo himself. T it makes for; clumal: ness and confusion. - -w, MeADOOT FORCES DIVIDED For instance,: it was firmly insisted fcy Daniel C. Roper, McAdoo.'s chief ad viser, who is hi New York, that nominating - speech be made.-' This was entirely agreeable to all but a few of the . McAdoo supporters here! . and" was the plan 'until today.. Then '(he few per suaded vhs many that it would be bet ter to have McAdoo's virtues - extolled. It was contended that no better oppor tunity would present itself than to tell all the delegates at one time Just why McAdoo should be nominated. And the decision -now ts tm permit the nominat ing speech. McAdoo and Roper are powerless to prevent it But that Isn't the only thing which shows division id the McAdoo .ranks. .;. -.-.-.- :j Nobody Js apparently able to handle second and' third choice votes so that the 'McAdoo strength may be cumula tive. - It sounds like an easy thing to do to hold strength to reverse but the delegates are uncontrollable. They want to go for him on the first ballots. They can't wait Also- the talk Of McAdoo has grown so loud that the opponents - of the former secretary of the treasury have virtually been forced into a coalition against him. Efforts to form a Palmer and Cox- combination with temporary assistance from favorite son groups are proceedii Zr in alarming fashion. The presence there of several cabinet offi cers all working for McAdoo has .not helped -his cause. Down among vChe delegations . tb spontaneous desire for McAdoo 'is, unmistakable and they ase prepared to make a hard fight but the big uuestlon is How much stamina these delegates have for prolonged fight such as gave Wilson bis triumph at .Balti more. " -JOCKEYING YOB POSITION Each of the managers is trying to make the other show most strength on the fir At ballots. Even the Palmer forces are trying to hold back at first and bring their greatest strength to bear on suc cessive ballots. These are also the Cox tactics and it looks new as if both had succeeded in forcing McAdoo to take the lead earlier than was expected.. Once McAdoo 'begins to lose and is passed by Cox or ; Palmer the enthusiasm of the McAdoo men may, be somewhat damp ened and - then it Is not inconceivable that-they would turn to" a dark horse. . , Homer Cummlngi showed on the sec ond day of the convention that ha was Just -as high in the estimation of tbe delegates as when he delivered his key note speech. His appearance on the floor was greted with, loud applause. When be reeoramendett the sending of a telegram of congratulation to the governor of Tennessee because the latter called a special session of the legislature to relief of women suffrage amendment there "was instantaneous approval. CCMMIJTGS BACKS SCTPRAGE. - But the 1 effectiveness of Cummin rs was apparent a second time when the convention bad tabled a resolution en larging the Democratic national commit tee to Include one woman from each state. Evidently some of the old line politicians did not -want it done but Cummings with a brief and convincing statement told the convention that its sincerity on the woman suffrage issue would be questioned if it refused to per mit woman to have a voicto in the coun cils oC-tae party. The -motion was passed with genuine demonstration of ap proval and there ths .Democrats have given the. women something which the Republicans denied them at Chicago. Every state will have a woman on the Democratic national committee, not merely ; In an advisory capacity as here tofore, ) but with equal voicing power with the men members. ' When the convention had adjourned for the day and the delegates got back to their hotels they found hand bills reading as follows: "How about Homer Cummings for president of the IT. &? His keynote spesph has already won for him the presidency throughout the land. Today he personifies the victory of the Democratic party at the polls. - Give him the game as well as tbe name. Put aside petty prejudice and : consider in terms Of party success and you wil see that Homer Cumming's words of today will ring around the world, the , truly great utterances of the truly - great leader of the 1920 Democrats. Agree ment has produced a great man. Amer ica needs Homer Cummings for president-" v 0:; CHAMP CUBE ME5TI05ED The posters were signed by Sap Y"ran cisco civic Democrats. - But the Con necticut delegation which hss Indorsed Cummings for president, probably - had I something to do with it. The delegate are talking more about it than any other dark horse though Vice President: Mar shall and Champ Clark are mentioned by , the- anti-admlnlstratkm forces , and some' of the' conservative), elements n the party who are restive under Wilson lead ership. 1 The "situation: may well arise when Palmer and McAdoo and Cox may be unable to get two third votes, The consideration of dark - horses would bring the Palmer and McAdoo forces close together to nominate a Wil son man. That would make Cummings logical. "His chances are much better than those of Harding at Chicago when dark horse talk began, but prospects of nominating a dark horse is still nebu lous , v ." V-: ? -N v XTS1T BtXXE BBOKE5 h 7:6 I't-'' The McAdoo : supporters feel highly encouraged by the breaking of the unit rule for New Tork state.' George Lunn and Assistant Secretary of - the Navy Franklin Roosevelt fought a successful battle-in the rules committee and now it is possible for New York's 90 votes to be split up. Charlie Murphy's power is diminished. He will try to hold his delegation, together for Governor A. X Smith on the theory that a deadlock may yield the nomination ' to the New Tork governor. He will hold that-over the heads of recalcitrant delegates but the number which probably will go to McAdoo in the New Tork delegation is about 25. There are also Cox and Palmer votes in ; New Tork state. Murphg may be able to keep 65 votes for A. I Smith indefinitely, but once re leased from that pledge, there is no tell ing to which candidate New Tork will ultimately throw her -votes, i . - - As matters -stand - MeAdoo is in the lead," but no one In his camp bere can demonstrate mathematically or other wise where the full two thirds is coming from.; If McAdoo does not win the prise neither Palmer nor Cox will, but some one like Cummings will be 1 ex hibited as a compromise. . . - : ; - MRS. GEORGE BASS KEPT AS LEADER YJ1 DEMOCRATS - Br David M. Church : San Francisco, June 30. (L N, S.) Mrs. George Bass remains 'today the leader of ' Democratic women, despite determined efforts during the las two days to unseat her. . S Women delegates and alternates In caucus gave Mrs. Bass what , amounted to a vote-of confidence. After a - dis cussion of nearly an hour as to whether or not it would , be diplomatic to urge Governor Roberts of Tennessee to ad vance the date of the special session of the Tennessee legis!aturev to ratify tbe suffrage amendment, the women voted unanimously to allow the Tennessee dele gates to submit a prctposal to Mrs. Bass, giving Mrs. Bass f uU authority to act for the womeof,the convention with regard to the proposal. This action was taken unanimously, by: th caucus. ' : 4 For several '. days the word " has been passed about that with the admission of women to the Democratic national com mittee, Mrs. Bass . would pass-out as the leader of Democratic women. . ' strong, -predictions were i made : that lira, Bass would lose power when the word was passed that Mrs. - Percy V. Fennybacker - of Austin, Texas, one of the foremost leaders in affairs of women, had retired from the national committee because : she was dissatisfied - with the leadership or Mrs. Bass, f Mrs. Pennybacker was the first to splkthls rsmor.
