By David Iwrence
(Copyriehtnd. 1920
San Francisco, Cal., July 1 1. This
Is an emotional convention.- It has
the am flights of idealism and the
same outbursts of Impassioned en-
inusiaam as marxru ine idinous ouu
Moose convention!!! 1912.. Song, ora
tory and adulation for the leadership
of Woodrew Wilson are evident here
intlye same spontaneous strains that
came forth at Chicago In 1912 for
Theodore Roosevelt..
" Even Tammany hall supposed to be
: lukewarm toward Woodrow Wilson of
fered a most eloquent tribute - to - the
president which swept the entire body of
parading the hall with cheers for New
York state. Every mention of Wilson,
every reference to the League of .Nations,
every worshipful gesture as speaker
after speaker -pointed to - the brifrhtly
lighted portrait of President Wilson J
hanging' over the rostrum, was met witn
outbursts of applause, and noisemaklng.
FEW JARRIXG BOTES
' The discordant notes were few. . In the
Missouri delegation,- disappointed sup
porters of Senator Reed, who was denied

rseats and refused to 'parade .for any

Missouri standard and indeed when Dr.
Eurris Jenkins of Kansas City. Mo.,
nresented the name of William ti. Aic-
Adoo the entire convention responded
with chers and shouted for Missouri.
It waa a dav of demonstration, ar
tificial, manufactured spontaneous and
real everything from the lltling songs
of decades ago to cheering led by am
bisextrous leaders of the collegiate type..
It would be difficult to assess the value
of" demontrition. Thev had them at

noticed that the galleries, yelled them

McAdoo- and while delegation after dele
gation marched around shouting, the
bent showing made by any of the can
didates was that developed by the sup.
porters of Governor Cox of Ohio. lied
by Its own band,' the Cox people stirred
up' the most commotion.
OUTBCKST FOB SMITH
Perhaps the most spontaneous thing of
the day was the tribute of the convention
to Governor Al Smith of New York.
After Bourke Cockran had nominated
him, saying New York wouldn't let him
be a candidate for vice president as he
would be wanted for governor of New
York a third time, ihe famous orator
from the Empire state' began talking of
the achievements1 of "Woodrow Wilson.
Coming fronvt Tammany, it made a hit
and bespoke '. harmony -in 'the coming
campaign. . Without : question the dem
onstration for Smith wafl calculated to
have an effect on the - folks back home,
but even Charlie Murphy didn't dream
the convention would rise to the. occasion
the way It did.- v- ' . V J
Senator Pat. Harrison of Mississippi
aroused the delegates, too, as he seconded
the nomination of Governor Cox. Har
rison launched an ' attack on tfit; S&n
Francisco newspapers," some of which
have been unnecessarily hostile and med
dlesome in ,view of the fact that San
Francisco is the host to the convention.
The entire gathering rose . and cheered
the denunciation of the .newspapers for
each candidate has received condemna
tion at the hands of the local press. But
when Harrison lauded the people of San
Francisco the convention roared, tts ap
proval. It was on the whole a good
natured f rollicking day ' the delegates
spent in their demonstrations for the
various nominees.
DEMOCRATS ARE HAPPY
The Democrats are having a wonder
; f ul time. They act as if they had al
rnjiv Ann - th November election..- It
was significant that after the speakers
for Palmer had referred to the vigor
ous measures taken by the attorney gen
eral to combat the "reds," Bourke Cock
frs,n of New York diplomatically in his
nominating speech fpr Al 'Smith admin
istered a mild ' rebuke for the Palmer
methods, declaring that tne best way to
handle anarchy - was "not by clubbing
but by conversion," and he offered Al
Smith, who, had risen ' from a peddler's
cart to the governor's chair as an ex
ample of opportunity, to the lowliest In
our-ountryi By the way the conven
tion responded to the suggestion, it was
evident that Cockran had uttered a
v truism that struck home, -v- : .
Rarely do demonstrations as the .nom
inating' speeches are made have anything
to do with the strength of candidates
in the balloting. Dr. Burrls Jenkins, in
a tensely dramatic moment, announced
that he had yielded to the wishes of Mo
' Adoo and would not make a nominating
'. speech, but that he and others in the
Missouri delegation ' felt that McAdoo
would snrvft if drafted. Ir. Jenkins ore.
sented McAdoO's name to be "drafted for
. the service of our country," but he added
that BlV nimnn mil "rennrfn that Mr-
Ad OO would not- Accept were without
foundation and were Inspired by forces
opposed to the nomination of McAdoo.
- The effect of Jenkins' speech was . all
t that the McAdoo -supporters-desired. The
'crowd yelled for him to make the nom
inating speech' he had Intended to make.
The delegates who had' been wavering
because of the variety of rumors cir
culated about McAdoo's alleged with
drawal from the race took heart once
more. Dr. Jenkins skilfully kept Mc
Adoo in the race, as he denied all re
ports that had been around In "the past
as well as those1 which he said might be
circulated in the 'future.

"The amendment which Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts secured to the

It simply makes It clear and certain
that the Democrats, will not . stand out
against technical ' or Interpretative
amendments, but would consent to
amendments which would not nullify
and destroy the effect of the League of

Collective bargaining - is a concession
which V the platform grants to labor.

ways throw an anchor, to windward and
get in on the ground floor with an ex
pected, winner, especially : a dark horse.
Then they usually -insist that the nom
ination was due to their strategy. -
Wpodrow sWilson has been told again
and again how the deciding votes were
cast for him in the f amors 1912 con
vention. So & great deal of the talk 'of
a dark horse can be attributed ' to an
early desire to begin trading of the fu
ture, especially if a deadlock is In pros
pect. Now it is obviously impossible to
tell how the delegates will vote after
the first two or three balotSi The lead
ers have made mathematical calcula
tions to their own satisfaction but he
troupe about tabulating the vote ih ad
vance of the balloting is that the pre
ponderance of strength is with McAdfbo
and there is an undercurrent of support
which is ' unmistakably ready to go to
him whenever It looks as if he will be
the winner. ...
If the McAdoo forces hold tight, they
-will get up to 00 votes, and push their
candidate to . the necessary 728.: But
the McAdoo strength will, develop slower
than that of any other candidate. The
supporters of Mitchell Palmer will stick
to him longer: than most people have
anticipated. The Cox leaders and 'dele
gates aren't going to give up without
a real struggle. Some talk is heard of
promising the vice presidency t Co f
Ithe McAdoo votes should get to 600 and
then znaiting a serious effort to acquire
1 100
HOLDS
Ohio's votes and others sympathetic with
Cox to make the final 128 to put McAdoo
across the two-thirds margin. ' ; . '
On the other hand the Cox people at
this stage, of the. game aren't thinking
about thevtce5 presidency and some Mc
Adoo supporters insist that if McAdoo is
named, Victor Murdock of Kansas,
former BuitrMoosei. leader, shall run for
vice president.
It's? all very well to talk about coali
tions but the Democratic national con
vention of 1920 is not very easily con
trolled except on the issue of Wilson or
anti-Wilson. There isn't a one-third veto
against the Wilson forces in this conven
tion. : If McAdoo isn't named, some out
and out Wilson man will be. The people
who are supposed to have formed an
anti McAdoo combination would not sustain-
such a move if Palmer and Cox
have apparently lost. out. For then the
common f oe the anti-administration
candidates would be trotted forth. " If
McAdoo can win, the convention will be
indefinitely deadlocked. . Efforts In be
half of Homer Cummings are already be
ing made. There is a distinct drift to
ward him as a second choice on the part
of both McAdoo and Palmer men and
even Cox supporters. But thus far the
lead is still held by McAdoo with ex
cellent chance that his following will
grow from ballot to ballot and with ex
cellent prospect, moreover that the anti
McAdoo combination wiil never function
as smoothly as its analogy 'at Chicago

League of Nations covenant
Heretofore, it 'was stated, the position
of the administration has been that it
did not oppose any. reservations which
were merely "interpretative" . and non
destructive.". .
PAVES WAT FOR APPROVAL
The Walsh amendment was regarded
by those who voted for it as paving the
wayrfor gratification of. the treaty by
providing the Pemocratic side of the
senate with , a complete opportunity to
support ; such . reservations as would
fully protect American, rights and sov
ereignty . without - being accused of not
being in 'accord with their own party.
The amendment also would vindicate
the attitude assumed by . the 21 Demo
cratic senators who .voted for the Lodge
reservations in an effort . to save the
treaty from defeat for a second time.
The amendment , was the only one
adopted by the committee that ma
terially changed the meaning or phras
eology of the "Virginia plank.
Efforts of Vice-President Marshall
and Senators Thomas J. Walsh of Mon
tana and Atlee Pomerene of Ohio, -and
of William Jennings Bryan to secure
the adoption of amendments offered by
them in turn were voted down 'before
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts scored
his victory. ...
BHTAN IS DEFEATED '
Before . the adamant purpose of the
administration forces to write into the
Democratic platform an unqualified In-,
dorsement ef President Wilson's league
policy, Bryan went down-to overwhelm
ing defeat. He,; like the Others whose
amendments were defeated, . was only
able to . muster a scattering 15 or 16
votes. !
The acrimonious debate In which the
administration and anti-administration
spokesmen were involved .for hours waa
described . as a reflection on the long
bitter fight over the treaty and the
league covenant in the senate. . -
When an adjournment . was finally
taken, the "steering committee" of nine
members departed with instructions to
prepare fa revised draft of the "Vir
ginia platform" in accordance with the
Walsh amendment and other changes in
phraseology agreed to and to report the
same to the full committee when it re
convenes at 10 o'clock this morning. ;
It was predicted that the full com
mittee would have tne administration
platform it was expected to adopt ready
for submission to the convention Itself
by noon today.

leaders planned. . they said, to carry the
fight to the convention floor as soon
as the administration platform was pre

Bryan enlivened the treaty fight in t
committee,, which met behind the s ' 1
doors of a spacious room on the thiU
floor of the convention auditorium. The
session of the committee was seertt
and a reslutlon was adopted, as soon as
it bewan consideration of the tentative
platform draft submitted to it by tho
"steering committee" which pledged H
of its members to secrecy until they had
concluded their deliberations.
BRTAX'S A'GER SO USDS
Hour after hour the newspaper men
patiently though sleepily maintained their
tedious vigil, while from a distance
voices raised in angry utterance could
be heard from within the room. Bryan's
ringing tone, keyed to a' high pitch of
anger, -could be easily recognised and
when Senator ' Walsh of Massachusetts
plunged into a strong demand for the
adoption of his amendment his eloquent
bass- rattled the transoms of the doors.
When the doors were finally flung open
and tired-looking senators and other
fagged-out members of -.the' committee
streamed slowly from the room wlfh
newspaper men eagerly : besieging them
on every side, one of them described the
long, hard fight over : the president's
leatrue . stand as follows ? . .,
"Boys, Just close your eyes and Im
agine yourselves back In the senate dur
ing the treaty fight there and you will
be able to .form an accurate idea of
what we have been doing all of . this
time."'
WALSH ASKS FOR CLARITY
. Walsh argued' that the , Democratic
party, "if it were not to- throw away Its
chances of victory In the - November
election," must "clearly- and specifically
set forth in its platform an expression
regarding the extent to which It was
willing to go in the adoption of .reserva
tions that would leave Ho doubt in the
minds cf the American people as to the
meaning and purpose of those reserva
tions." ,
When Bryan plunged into one of his
characteristic onslaughts., on the presi
dent's treaty , attitude and charged
Glass with ''packing' the "steering com
mittee" with ''hide-bound administration
supporters and sympathiser." the Vir
