ALL SIDES-ARE
BELLIGERENT AS
SESSION RESUMES
By Harold D. Jacobs
San Francisco, July 5. TJ. P.)
Delegates .to the Democratic national
convention reassembled today: after
a Sunday recess, belligerently de-i
terra ined to take up the battle oyer
a presidential nominee just where
they left off after the twenty-second
ballot Saturday night. .-. .r
I The spirit of the convention was ex
; eroplifled in " two historic expressions
of a fundus Republican, Ulysses S.
Grant:
The only terms upon which any fac
tion was willing to treat with Its rivala
: was "unconditional surrender." -
Further, the backers ef the" various
candidates proposed to "fight it out on
this line if it takes all summer."
Any hope that the recess would .fur
nish the opportunity for a unification
of. interests, either with the idea of
getting together on Governor Cox, Wil
liam G. McAdoo or Attorney General
Palmer, or deciding upon a compromise
candidate, was shattered after the first
tentative attempts at conciliation were
rudely rebuffed.
DARK HORSE TALK REVIVED
"Dark horse talk was again revlded,
in which the names of Ambassador
Davis, Secretary of State Colby. Nation
al . Chairman , Cummings. . Vice President
Marshall, Congressman ; Champ Clark,
. Senator Owen and .Senator Glass fig
ured prominently? . But all such con
versation was secondary to the debate
over the three leading condldates. ' Po
litical observers believed that Cox. Mc
Adoo and Palmer would have to be
. definitely eliminated before a "dark
' horse" could even be considered.
The. Cox people based their hopes on
the fact their man led consistently
from the twelfth ballot, and that they
had practically all the bosses" on their
side.! I' - it were possible ' for anyone
to conduct successful raids on rival
delegations, they believed J Charles F.
JHurphy, George Brennan, Thomas Tag-
' gart and Wilbur Marsh were the only
ones wBo could turn the trick. E. H.
Moore, Cox , manager, displayed) his
confidence by betting (500 to $1000 that
his candidate would be nominated by
the twenty-fifth ballot. Thomas J.
Spellacy, Palmer supporter, who took
the long end, specified the entire
amount should go to the national com-
tnlttee.
STICK WITH PALMER
C. C. Carl In. Palmer man agent said
his -delegates would be voting for the
attorney general on the last ballot, and
asserted Palmer would get back all
the votes he had "loaned" to Cox in or
der to block McAdoo.
The McAdoo leaders spent Sunday
and last night exhorting the "faithful"
to stand by their guns and promising
large accessions to- their ranks from un
revealed and unexpected sources. Plans
were made for spectacular demonstra
tions for McAdoo during today's session.
A report 'was circulated Sunday nicht
that Senator Glass had decided to release
the Virginia delegation, which had given
. him its 24 votes on every ballot Glass
veheraenUy declared that "there isn't a
word of truth in it." The Virginian was
popularly supposed to be tying up his
delegation for the benefit of McAdoo.
According to fairly accurate polls of the
delegates. Palmer would get at least 18
of them' if they were released, with the
remainder split between Cox and Mc
Adoo, ; Most of these IS were declared to
favor Cox for second choice.
- The Oklahoma delegation of 20 and the
West Virginia delegation of 16 were ex
pected to stand by Owen' and Davis,, re
spectively, -because of the "dark horse"
possibilities for their "favorite sons."
William J. Bryan let it be known that
Owen is his favorite as a compromise
candidate and it was believe that re-
- sumption of balloting would see' his nine
delegates in Nebraska still voting for the
Oklahoma, while Senator Hitchcock's
seven would stick with Cox.
Cummings was popularly supposed 'to
hold the key to the deadlock. Many pol-
iticlans believed a word from him would
break the impasse. He has refused pos
it! v Sly to give any indication as to his
personal preference because of his posi
tion as national chairman. It was not
considered an impossibility that Cum
mings himself would be brought forward
as a compromise. He has a large fol
lowing among the! delegates and It was
known he was not unacceptable to1 Mur
phy and the latter's aides. '
Colby was said to be favorably re
garded by the northern Democrats, par
ticularly those in New York, but south
ern members of the party objected to
him on the ground he is "a life-long
Democrat of a few months." The South
erners like Glass, but the Northerners do
not want him. Davis still occupied the
strong position of fourth place, with 52
votes, when balloting ended Saturday
night. .
There were even rumors that the dele
gates, worn to exhaustion, would finally
turn to President Wilson as the only so
lution of their dilemma.

Want
-. : a
to western states where Democratic op
portunity, as illustrated by 1918, is be
lieved to be 50 per cent better. The move
ment for McAdoo la basely largely on the
supposition that he could sweep the West.
The fight for Cox Is made on the theory
that be can carry Indiana, New Jersey,
Ohio. New; York and possibly Massachu
setts. His supporters say not much of
the West would be seeded to add to the
solid South if the aforesaid states east
of the Mississippi were carried by Cox.
STRATEGY FOR DAY
The itrategy of the day would seem
to be this : A drive for Mitchell Pal
mer which will have the ... moral sup
port but : not the votes of the McAdoo
managers. ! During, this movement the
Cox people are determined to sit tight
and demonstrate that their strength is
Impregnable. Next, the Palmer men, if
they showi signs of . moving op to w,
will ask the McAdoo men to join forces
and assist. in the nomination of, the at
torney general. Should Palmer fall to
get higher, than 275 votes, the McAdoo
managers will ask for the aid of tne
Palmer men. Falling U to nominate
either Palmer or McAdoo, the leaders
of both candidate- believe their , de
fensive alliance will prevent the nomi
nation "of Cox. If that is the case, a
dark horse alone - could - penetrate ! the
Cox camp.' ' There would be no support
given to McAdoo or Palmer. Each or
the three main contenders would have
to yield to a compromise candidate as
was the case at Chicago.
DAVIS MOST TALKED OF
, The dark horse sentiment of this con
vention is centered in John W. Davis of
West Virginia, ambassador to Great
Britain, though there are those who still
believe it will be Homer S. Cummings,
chairman iof the Democratic national
committee Davis : has many of the
characteristics of Wilson in public
speech and is considered one of the best
lawyers who ever argued before the su
preme court, of the United States.'. At
torney General Palmer ' likes him and
so do many of the McAdoo delegates.
If Governor Cox doesn't outwit the
Palmer and McAdoo combination and
the chances are even that the Ohio gov
ernor, wilt do it then the Palmer and
McAdoo forces will unite on either Mc
Adoo or Davis, with the chances of the
latter much better than McAdoo for the
simple reason that the Cox delegates will
have been antagonized by such tactics
and will not support either Palmer or
McAdoo, but would insist - on throwing
their strength to an outsider.
COX LiEADS, BITT STRATEGY
I MAY SAVE SITUATION
By David Lawrence ;
j (Copyrighted. 1920)
San Francisco, July 5. -Anybody who
attempts to say what will happen today
in the Democratic national convention
may be basing his prediction on the
soundest judgment at the moment he
expresses -that opinion, but he runs the
risk of having all calculations- upset by
any of th dozen or more turns of for
tuns which convention strategy and tac
ticians may evolve -before the balloting
is resumed. ; '
Governor Cox "unquestionably ha the
lead. The bandwagon idea has been
spread by his supporters with a conse
quent effect upon wobbling delegations,
which may put the Ohio executive over
the top in four or five ballots. But the
chances of Governor Cox rest upon the
decision of Attorney General Mitchell
Palmer and Representative Calin of
Virginia, his campaign manager. If the
Cox and Palmer forces reach an -understanding
the race is over and the Ohio
governor wins. '
SO CHANCE OF AGREEMENT
There Is no chance of an agreement
between Cox and McAdoo men, for the
latter are determined to die in the
trenches. I Furthermore. : they believe a
repetition of the Baltimore convention
of 1912 is coming and that, mere stick -to-it-iveness
will triumph in the en-1.
But, while there is abundant confidence
in the McAdoo camp, there isn't any
domination of votes. And to forge
ahead, McAdoo must gain from delega
tions that are not- now thinking of sup
porting him, but going to Cox. For in
stance, Kansas has been held undr
the unit rule for McAdoo by a margin
of one vote. North Carolina has been
twjee reported as shaking in its loyalty
to McAdoo. There's a Tight inside the
Georgia delegation.. Clark Howell is
said to be eager to go to Cox. Many
want to go to McAdoo, but the Palmar
instruction will probably hold Georgia
for a few ballots anyway. " ,
VIRGINIA STICKS TO GLASS
The same split occurs in Virginia,
which will, stick for Senator Glass as
the easiest solution for the time being,
at least until it Is evident what the out
come wilt be of the fight between the
main contenders, espeecially since there
14 a vague hope that Glass may prove a
dark; horse. West Virginia, operating
under the same illusion, is holding its
16 -votes for John W. Davis.
But the adjournment over Sunday did
a good deal toward squelching dark
horse ideas. For, while a candidate may
be sprung in the first 15 or 16 ballot,
the endurance of the main contenders is
such that in. the end one of them must
win. : Furthermore, the leaders have had
a chance over Sunday Xo figure out who
the dark horse might be and all conclu
sions usually revert to the fact that -s
vote-getters, the Democrats must pick
either McAdoo or Cox. ;"-.-
PALMER COULD HURT COX
It lies In Mitchell Palmer's hands to
destroy Cox if he wants to. For in
stance, there was talk all day of a drive
being made for Palmer and McAdoo
managers are said to have been en
couraging Palmer to believe'he can win.
What they want unquestionably is a
drive for Palmer so as to compel Palmer
votes which have gone, to Cox to go
back to Palmer again and thus cut down
Cox's long lead. In that case. Palmer
would go up to second place, and Cox
would go to third- and : McAdoo's sup
porters would try and drive for victory.
But as this is written there is nothing
to show that Mitchell Palmer will do
anything j of the kind. If he - releases
his delegates ' the impression is that he
will not endeavor to guide them. In
that even many of them will go to Cox.
Then - the big question is whether the
phychological effect of a break in Penn
sylvania ,swiU be sufficient or insuffl
cent to budge the McAdoo phalanx. Of
course the McAdoo minority can dead
lock this convention indefinitely. - It's a
fight between the Kastern 'and West
ern delegations. The Western states
know McAdoo better than Cox and be
lieve that the former secretary of the
treasury Inherits the idealism and vision
of his distinguished father-in-law. They
like the .relationship between the two
and consider it an earnest of McAdoo's
progressive inclinations.
TOO LATE FOR WEST . . ;
- Of course Governor ; Cox is popular
east of the Mississippi and so" far as
progress! venees is concerned has a
splendid record, but his managers didn't
get busy soon enough in the 'Western
states to get that impression imbedded.
Aa it is. the support of .Murphy of New
York, Brennan of Illinois and Nugent of
New Jersey and Taggart of Indiana has
given the Western Democrats the idea
that Cox must be an anti-Wilson man.'
COX STANDS HIGH "
The truth is that Governor Cox has
always been In good favor In the White
House and that President Wilson has on
more than one occasion expressed his
admiration for the Ohio governor. Yet
it is doubtful whether the president will
say a single word pro or con lest he of
fend McAdoo or Palmer or . the other
candidates who have supported his ad-

which, they insist, shall be carried
Into effect by the Germans at once.
' After discussing the subject brief

Brussels, July 4.- It was, reported
in authoritative quarters today that
Italy had finally ; agreed to -j accept
10 per cent of the German Indem
nity in ; lieu of the much larger
amount which she had from the
first set her aims to secure. Com
plete accord, it was said, had been
reached upon the principal problems

the morning. During the day Premier
Mlllerand visited Louvain. while Lloyd
George paid a visit to Waterloo.
The Belgians and Italians are notice
ably disappointed over the latest allied
developments. The press bitterly de
nounces Lloyd George, declaring that
his statement that "Germany would not
be permitted to make the treaty a
scrap of paper was mere camouflage.
The. French and British, however,
profess to be satisfied with the results
of the conference. f : i
BELGIANS DISSATISFIED j
' The Belgians are particularly dissat
isfied. They feel that that part of the
indemnity allotted to her is extremely
insufficient, in view of the tremendous
damage done their country, t
The crumbling of the Polish army
caused an anxiety that was patent on
the faces of the military experts.

San Francisco. July 5. (U.' P.) The
tariff, century old issue between the two
leading parties in the United States, , is
dead as- a campaign Issue. Democratic
leaders declared here" today. That is

Delegates Leaving;
Proxies Appointed
San Francisco, July 5. (U. P.) It
was reported' this morning that "some
delegates and alternates had started for
home, leaving their proxies with out
siders, who may shift the vote to Other
candidates. In consequence,: there was
a possibility that there might be objec
tion made today to use of these prox
ies. " A number of New York delegates
who favor Cox have left town, it was
stated, and their seats are vacant.

San . Francisco. July 5. A wager of
$500 against $1000 that . Cox will be
nominated within one hour and ' a half
after the convention assembles - to
day ; was made last night by Ed
Moore of Ohio, manager of Cox, and
Thomas J. Spellacy of, Connecticut who
is for Cummings. After the money was
posted both parties to the wager agreed
that the winnings should be given to Oie

Wilson has taken a hand in the plat
form fight and sent Senator Glass and
Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state, to
fight for the adoption of certain planks
in the platform. That has been done.
Now - these. same : Wilson : men are
vetoing Cox. To that extent they
involve the Wilson administration.
This is' something which the West
ern1 Democrats don't understand. ' . If
sortie big Wilson man would come out
for j Cox. It would help him immeasur
ably. In the Cox camp there are bets
galore being made of certain victory on
Monday. The McAdoo forces appear de
termined but hardly exhibit the . same
buoyancy that they did when the bal
loting began. . The Palmer forces talk
of exercising the veto power against
both Cox and McAdoo in favor of a com
promise. - Alt night long the - parleying
wilt have continued with the chance that
on Monday the whole business will start
anew with each of the three candidates
imagining be can win if he merely holds

platform and wired 'the president a
message that brought from him a most
felicitous acknowledgment. They have
not pressed the nomination of .McAdoo
with the ardor ' that would otherwise
have been probable, on account of the
persistent report that the. president is

son-in-law. .
CHEER WILSON'S JfAJfE
They have even up to this supposedly
final day cheered the president's name
every time it has been mentioned. All
these things evidence the realisation by
the delegates of' the place that Wikton
Is to take in history and a purpose on
their part to make the Democratic party
follow the high course charted by his
leadership.
. It is true that Tammany has a grudge
against the president because he did not
allow that organization to- dictate fed
eral appointments in New York.
And it 4s true that part of the Illinois
delegation is disgruntled because the late
Roger Sullivan was not made the arm
of the administration In Illinois. There
Is a similar situation In New Jersey be-

Delegates, Dry and
Broke, Are Forced
To Leave for Home
San Francisco. July . L N. S.) The
song of the delegates to the Democratic
national convention, "How dry I am."
was changed today to "How broke J
cm." 1 i .
Because of the fact that the conven
tion was allowed to go over into the
second week many of the delegates
found themselves without funds. The
result of this, vi-hlch caused many of
tbem to leave for home, will be seen to
day on the first ballot. It was expected
that the ballot will show something tike
1000 delegates voting instead, of from
1090 to 10S3 of Saturday. A majority
of them leaving before the balloting
begins today - were from delegations
which have the unit rule and ttieir ab
sence will not affect the number of
votes cast.
British Praise Davis,
Dark Horse Candidate
London, July 5. (U. P.) "If a dark
horse la 'nominated at San Francisco,
as now appears likely. It will be John
W. Davis," the Dally News declared in
an editorial today. The newspaper de
clared the American ambassador was
a man of great ability, who had won
the confidence and respect of Great
Britain by his frankness and tact
cause Boss Nugent was not permitted to
preside over the federal pie counter. But
even these disgruntled ones realise the
higher plane and more exalted purpose
that has been mapped out as the true
course of a great party and are content
to nurse their- grievances by sulkin in
their tents. The convention is a Wilson
Convention, the party a modernised pro
gressive party, attuned In purpose to the
things that ought to be done after a
great war has changed -the status of
every country and put new forces in
motion throughout the world.
