There conferences now among Demo- cratic leaders which n influence the whole trend of events at Democratic national weeks hence Mr. McAdoo and his assoclates are confident of the outcome. They neither look doubtful mor talk that way. Arrangements are being made for the convention Itself—that is what has brought several national committeemen here—but the under- current of conversation is not who shall be temporar or permanent chairman, but what the strategy of the convention will be. The McAdoo men are sure of more than 400 votes on the first bLallot. They say they have more votes in store on subsequent ballots. If they get a majority they believe the whole convention will swing toward them and furnish the necessary two- thirds. are See Oll Talk Kick Back. what all this confidence based? You can't talk five minutes with any of the McAdoo men before learning that they are absolutely con- vinced that the dragging in of Me- Adoo's name in the oil constroversy has been a boomerang, that it is the on is kind of thing which Republicans wilj | Da$ announced conclusion of a fifty- | think harmful, but which' the Demo- cratic party will not. For. in the first place, Mr. McAdoo feels he has done nothing wrong: that nobody has ac- cused him of any legal wrongdoing, and that his activity as a lawver aft- er he left the Preasury Department is no different from the activity of Charles Evans Hughes after he left the Supreme Court of the United Stages. Mr. Hughes, it is pointed out, argued before his former associates and was highly paid for his services. But the McAdoo men say the oil iscussion is “old Stuff” and that the people in several state primaries have passed on it and given McAdoo their support. Polat to La Follette T Far more significant at the moment is the course that the McAdoo gen- erals are taking in mapping out their campaign for the nomination which is the first hurdle to be crossed. McAdoo men point significantly to the statement by Senator La Follette that he would run independently if both parties =lame a conservative. The inference which the McAdoo eat. |sponse to the announcement of his strategists draw from this is that he may not run if a Democrat is nominated. whole basis of the McAdoo campaign is that there must be a difference be- tween two candidates and the parties in the forthcoming contest, that the radical or liberal Anyway, the west and south can be counted upon |concession, to support a liberal and progressive while the east will naturally vote to a large extent for a conservative. McAdoo's speeches in the west are |liquid exactly In line with that doctrine, ‘While he himself would probably say that to describe his doctrines as radi- | to cal is erroneous because he thinks a radical is essgftially an extremist, nevertheless the utterances are not in For instance, he has been advocating the repeal of the much-mooted section 15-A of the transportation act which limits the earnings of the railroads. he has been favoring the repeal of the clauses so that the present labor board may be abolished. He has also been talking in favor of a cash bonus while the present soldier insurance bill does not appropriate money for that immediate purpose. ‘Wiixon Kinship Helps. As for foreign affairs, the man whose great liability in 1920 was his kinship with the fate Woodrow Wil- son is today finding it his biggest asset. Mr. McAdoo has been careful not to come out in favor of any particular formula of co-operation between nations, but says he would call_an international conference if elected. 1In such a conference would, of course, be discussed all formulas, and it goes without saying that Mr. MrAdoo is not hostile to an amended and_revised covenant of the League of Nations.
