DRY ISSUE WAS
BEHIND DEADLOCK,
LAWRENCE ASSERTS
By David Lwrnce
(GopyriahUd. It20)
San lYan Cisco. July . Many a
delegate to th. XXmocratlo national
convention wlaha the prohibition
question had been squarely met and
not omitted from the platform.
Kor notwithstanding the serene
feeling that the : wet and dry Issue
was success fully evaded. It came up
'to" plague the whole" convention and
deadlock the choice of candidates.
Bade, of- the opposition to Governor
Cox was the dry strength. Supporting
the governor wera the wet states.' TTie
Cox managers believed it wise strategy
to help omit the prohibition plank from
the platform on the ground that their
candidate, being regarded as a wet,
. would satisfy the Democrats of the wets.
But, while New Jersey and New TTork
,md Illinois, having gone largely for
Cox. the obstacles presented by - the
western dry states had thus far been
Insuperable.' Added to this was I the
feeling among the McAdoo delegates,
who were blocking a choice, that Cox
was anU-administratlon. ' This was jus
tified, but was due largely to the fact
that anti-Wilson states had been sup
porting Cox -and also to the vote of
Ohio's national committeeman for Sen
ator Reed. .-
IOWA HAS SO BE" SPOTS
Inside the' Iowa delegation is a row
that will not end even, when the con
vention is over. Feeling against Wilbur
Marsh, national .committeeman, runs
high. The delegation was divided, but
under the unit rule the 26 votes had
been cast for Cox for 25 ballots. There
were MeAcoo men in the delegation who
felt that if the delegation did not go to
McAdoo it should have - remained with
Meredith. They say the latter was of
fered the vice presidential nomination
and had a good chance, as it turns out
now, s to break the deadlock for presi
dent, but being i deserted by Iowa on
the fifth ballot hurt Meredith's oppor
tunity, 'i ' i. .
Another grievance is that, although
Marsh had claimed to be- for Palmer
and Indeed cast - the Iowa vote for the
attorney general on early ballots, ' he
failed to come back to Palmer when a
drive was being made for the latter on
the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth bal
lots. -' .-. , f: .- ,'. :
FRICTIOir MAT CONTINUE v
Secretary ' of! Agriculture : Meredith,
who is one Of the strong McAdoo men,
made a speech to a mass meeting .Mon
day night, which indicated that contin
ued friction - in Iowa democracy: will be
the outcome of this convention. Sore
pots are developing elsewhere and it
Is largely because of the wet and dry
fight ' I ; . -
The wets naturally insist that the wet
sentiment of the big eastern states4 is
sufficient to swing a national election.
They say it is the only chance not only
for a 'Democratic victory for president
and vice president, but that it would
pull In state and local tickets, too. But
the drys see only the moral side of It
and have been j simply standing pat on
McAdoo and Palmer - largely because
they felt this would keep them straight
with the dry sentiment back home.

London, July o(I, If. S.) The
almost complete annihilation of IS
Russian Bolshevik cavalry regi
ments on; the 'Crimean -battle front
was reported in the following dis
patch to the British war office to
day: ' . ' ' - - ; :
"General Wrangel's cavalry, sup

surrounded 18 Bolshevik cavalry regi
ments. Only 150 of the Russian horse
men escaped. - The battlefield is covered
with dead. One thousand were cap
tured." ; ' .' t ; - - '
The dispatch did not give the scene
of the engagement. "The soviet war of

PRESDErir PLANS
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
IN BEHALF OF COX
By Herbert W. Walker
; Washington, July 6. (U.
Deflnite assurances were given at
tha; White House today that Presi.
dent Wilson plans to take an active
part in the campaign to elect Gov
ernor Cox as his successor."
It was indicated" that if his health
permits the president win make - some
Stump . speeches : for- the Ohioan and
otherwise will use all his Influence as
head of the party to win a Democratic
victory in November. An early confer
ence between Wilson and Cox probably
wilt be arranged. It was learned:
Although those close to the adminis
tration . several times during the last
week have Indicated that Cox would not
be unacceptable, there " is little doubt
that the Wilson lieutenants favored the
nomination of McAdoo. Cox was not
the first choice of virtually all the cabi
net officers at the convention and the
same, feeling has pervaded the White
House offices during the voting. -.
Cox is -considered here to be a warm
admirer of the president and has been
a League of Nations advocate from the
first. It Is believed Cox's views, on this
issue are fairly well expressed ""by the
treaty plank In the platform..
Ghastly Lottery Is
Made'by Celestials
Columbia, Pa.. July 6. (XT. S.) After
drawing lots with; his other brothers to
determine which one of them should ac
company the body of a dead brother to
China, -Lee Bang has sold his laundry
business to make the trip.
Immediately upon the death of te
brother the living members of the family
drew lots to determine which one should
accompany the body." The lot fell to Lee.
After seeing that his brother is burled
according to the customs of his country.
Lee Bang plans to return to the United
States. ,

The tire on the left-hand car in
the picture illustrates the cause of
about 75 per cent of all tire trouble
insufficient inflation.'
' The. pressure recommended by
the manufacturer of your tire is the
' best to follow and it cannot be
estimated by 'kicking the tire or
punching it. The regular use of a
- reliable air-gauge is the. best safe
' guard against rim cutting and
fabric breakdown.
"HERE is hardly a motorist who
;: .hasn't at some, time or other in
: his experience had a tire dealer
attempt to sell him a tire by rep
resenting " it as the fastest seller in
town.
More attempts are probably made'
tfo sell tires by playing to the motor
ist's alleged weakness for " crowd of
buyers" than by any other known
method of selling .y J
The experienced motorist, of course,
refuses to ' : surrender , his individual
judgment to any crowd or mass of
whatever size , ,
Too often he has seen the results
of accepting opinions at their face,
yaltie, without first finding out what
they are based on;
The car owner who seeks
t United States standards
in tubes is well paid in
more mileage for his
tires. U. S. Red Tubes
lU. S. Crey Tvzs
And you will find him going more
and more to the dealer who fms
m Something to offer in support of his
tires, other than "crowds of buyers"
and "numbers of sales,,

The opinion in favor of U S. Tires
is not based solely on the number of
them in use. .
Great as that number j is, it is due to
something . besides clever airgumentSe
Thousands of motorists today are
putting lip with second choice tires
because forced production is inconsis
tent with U. S. standard of quality.
. The United States Rubber Com--
panys enormous investment greater
than that of any concern in the in
dustry has always been aimed solely
at quality. v i
Building a , tire first and a market
afterwards. Thinking of the indi
vidual user instead of the. number of
sales ' r -
One of the reasons, perhaps, why
there is now a scarcity of U. S. Tires.

If the' time ever comes "when U. S.
Tires can be supplied to all, or nearly
aU, of the. people who want them,
they ; will still have more to recommend
them than merely the largest following.
