Three Leaders Determine to
Hold Own Votes and Are
Hoping' for Recruits From
Rival Camps and Field.
(By United Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. The
identity of the democratic presidential
nominee was as great a mystery a?
ever to the delegates af the convention
when they reconvened today and en
tered upon the 23rd ballot.
Campaign managers of Cox, McAdoo
and Palmer who are In the lead, in
order named, on the twenty second
ballot Saturday night, continued to
predict an early victory for the res
pective candidates, but the rank and
file of the delegates remained in the
dark regarding tho outcome. j
A conjecture that an over Sunday!
recess might possibly have brought !
about some compromiso plan for i
-breaking the deadlock was not sup-;
ported by any announcement of the i
party leaders. The leaders remained j
silent and campaign managers are )
ridiculing all suggestions of a sur-
render on the compromise. j
Judged by tho outward appearances j
the situation has resolved itself into
a triangular war of attrition. The sup
porters of each of the three leading
candidates eie determined to hold tho
votes t bitty jirW have-and re tiopwrg
for recruits from the rival camps aa
well as for the stale delegations, which
hsvo so far 'been supporting favorite

Do you eat hot cakes?
Pendle,touiant in the past two
and a half years have consumed
from tho output of one local eat
ing place enough hotcakes to make
a chain 91 miles long, if placed
end to end. The actual number of
hot cakes consumed is 1,150. .
J. E. "lxu" Plnson, manager of
the Office Junch, estimates that
he has baked and sold that num
ber since coming to Pendleton.
Figuring five Inchon us the di
ameter of hi hot cake. Mr. Pin
son could place them end to end
every inch of the way from Pen
dleton to Canyon City, In Grant
County. Tho mass of hot cake
batter which nas gone to make up
these cakes would total approxi
mately 14,375 gallons, or one and
a half times enough, to fill the
tender of the O.-W. R. & N. com
pany's largest locomotives.
In feeding the hungry public
with hot cakes, the average week-
ly flour consumption is six sacka
or a barrel and a half of flour,
Mr. I'inson says. One sack makes
1500 cakes, so each week between
9000 and 10,000 cakes are con
sumed. The largest day's sale was
last Round-ITp when 36 gallon.,
or 2880 cakes, were passed over
the counter.
For the past 15 years Mr. Pin
son has specialized on cakes, but
he says that no place consumed
as many as Pendleton. In order
to keep up with the growing ap
petite of hot cakes, a new griddle
has Just been installed, which will
cook AH cakes at a time. This is
tho largest single plate hot cake
griddle in the northwest, he says.

j KINGSTON, Jamaica. July 5-
j Thousands of residents of this island,
the homo of Jamica rum, have united
I in a protest to the government and
legislative council against prohibition,
M ite control of tlie liquor trade or
! alteration of the present licensing
system. .
A measure has been introduced in
tho lei.s!ature by the government pro
viding for state control of the trade
after tho legislative council had been
asked to connider also the questions of
prohibition and iicentfing.
Those opposed argued In a memor
ial to the government that the manu
facture of rum, as a by-product of sug
ar, had been carried on in the island
for hundreds of years and formed a
very important industry which woub:l
bo seriously affected if prohibition
were imposed. They objected also to
state control chiefly on the ground of
expense risk involved.
T
Serious cuts on the face and severe
bruises were suffered by Antone fceu
quist, local tailor early yesterday mor
ning when & machine in which he
was riding collided with a telephone
pole at the corner of Court and Aura
streets. Frank Bean was driving the
car. it is stated. v
Mr- Seaquist, who is employed by
Emil Beck, waa taken at once to St.
Anthony's hospital. Aside from the
cuts, which were caused by the
breaking of the windshield, ' his in
juries were not serious. He is con
valescing nicely today.

MARION, July 5- Senator Harding
is coming home today as the most
highly honored of his fellow towns
men, the candidate of the republican
party for the president of the Cnited
t States.
Marlon democrats .have cast aside
for the time being their party affilia
tions and joined with the republicans
as a fellow townsmen, neighbors of the
republican candidate to -welcome him
home. The welcome was not the Mar
ion affair entirely, friends from all
sections of the state sharing in it. The
city is bulging with visitors.

SMALL PART TO PLAY
The tentative program of entertain
ment for the house appropriations
committee at Hermtston does not In
clude a visit to the proposed McKay
creek ' reservoir site, according to a
draft of the program received today
from J. D. Watson, chairman. He
suggests that a delegation of from five
to eight Pendletonians will be suffl
cient for the Hermiston visit.
The letter addressed to J. R. Raley
president of tho Pendleton Commer
cial Association, designates the enter
tainment outlined for the congressmen
from the time they reach Hermiston.
at 5: S3 on Friday, July 16, until they
are due to leave for Idaho at 3:30 p. m.
Mr. Raley is invited to deliver a 10
minute talk, together with E. P. Todd
and C. S. McNaught, both of Hermis
ton, and a representative from Stan
field. Pendleton had been invited at first
to assist in the entertainment of the
congressmen but it is evident from
the letter that the west endera feel
equal to nutting over the purpose of
the visit without assistance, is thel
sentiment expressed here. The matter
of Pendleton's cooperation will be dis-
cuifsed by the association at its month
ly meeting tomorrow evening.

Over-Sunday D e v e lopments
Give No Indication of Break
or Even Weakening and Dark
Horse Talk Revives. V
(By United Tress.
ACDITORIUM, July S. The demo,
cratic convention reassembled todar.
going into extra innings, belligerently
determined to resume the battle of
ballots1 where the delegates left off '
after the twenty-second ballot Satur
day night. '
Over Sunday developments gave no
indication of the deadlock having;
been broken or even seriously weak.
ened by the efforts to line up a two-
tniras vote tor any candidate.
"We have not wet begun to. fight."
pronunciamentns were heard on all '
sides. Cox and McAdoo organizations
whose candidates were leading were
absolutely uncompromising. Each
thus far controlled enough votes to
keep the nomination from roing; to
anyone else.
'Dark horse- talk again revived in
wtitelt- the immert of- Davis. ColbvJi
Cummings. Marshall, Clark, Owen
and Glass figured prominently. There
were even rumors that the delegates,
worn to exhaustion, would finally turn
to Wilson as the only solution of their
dilemma.
The Cox people based their henea
on the fact that their man led con
sistently from the 12th ballot, and
mat tney have practically all the
"bosses" on their side. K. H. Moore,
the Cox manager, displayed his con
fidence by betting; $500 to 11.000 that
his candidate would be nominated by
the twent-fith ballot.
Thomas pellacy, the Palmer sup- ;
porter, took the long end. specifyins
the entire amount should It go to the
national committeeman, c. C. Pari in.
Palmer's managear. said the delegates
would be voting for the attorney gen-ei-al
on the last ballot.
A report was circulated last night
that Senator Glass had released the
Virginia delegation. Glass vehement. '
ly declared that there waa "not a
word of truth in It."
Look to Clamming.
Cummings is popularly supposed to
hold the key to the deadlock. Many
politicians believed a word from him
would break the impasse. He has re
fused to positively give any indication
regarding his personal preference due
to his position as national chairman.
it la not considered an Impossibility
that Cummings himself will ha
brought forward as a compromise. He
has a large following among the dele
gates, and It was learned he Is not
unacceptable to Sturphy. and the lat
ter aid. E. S. Colby said it would
b favorably regarded by the northern
delegates, particularly those of New
York, but the southern members of
the party object to him on the ground
that he is "a life-long democrat of
a few months."
In preparation for the protracted
voting, the national committee had an
extra set of ballots printed, it was
learned. This indicates that officials
are getting ready for a siege of bal
loting that may break tho record. 4 7
