. W’ADOO FOE HOLDS | HIM TOO BOASTFUL Challenges Californian's Claim to 614 Votes—Says He Cannot Win Majority. ‘WESTERNER'S AIDES HOPEFUL Say Former Treasury Head Will Have Large Total Early. BY DAVID LAWRENCE, NEW YORK, une 20—Like a rail- road time tablel-subject to change without notice—is the list of claims of the various candidates for the Democratie nomination for the presi- dency.® She victory will be won by sheer strategy, skiliful management and & proper estimate of convention psychology at the opportune moment But to understand what is about to huppen, ‘to get the background of events, so to speak, these claims of candidates have to be checked and counter-checked. The writer has obtained from one of managers a table which _represents the maximum strength thus far of the former Sec- Submitting erful leaders in the Democra neilably opposed to MeAdoo certain comments were made. Havin, thus obtained the pro and the con m two opposite sources, the table given, not with the idea that it will followed in the balloting, an indication of just where expects to recruit its votes in first test, which inevitably will be be- tween McAdoo and Smith. The thir- ty-six votes of the territories are omitted because of the uncertainty on all sides as to their eventual alloca- tion. The first is the bedrock McAdoo table: Indiana Illinois Michigan Wiscon: Minn. Jowa Missouri Louisiana . Texas . Oklahoma {ansas . th Dakota .. North Dakota Montana Wyoming Utah ..: ldaho Nebraska lorado New Men Nevada ... Arizona Arkansas ...... . Rhode Island California . Oregon Washington nii2 ota Totals .... Additional Votes Expected. The second column contains many states who will have favorite sons, but who are expeeted to go to M- Adoo on the third or fourth ballot, 80 adding 312,,and 302 gives a maxi- mum friendly strength of 614 for McAdoo. Out of the third column the McAdoo managers figure they can get the 118 other vetes needed to make the required 733, which is the two- thirds necessary to nominate. They look for an additional 24 votes from JNew York if a break up comes, 10 from New Jersey, 6 from Rhode Is- land, 10 from Maryland, 8 from Vir- ginia, 6 from Florida, 12 from Ala- bama, 4 from West Virginia, 4 from Ohjo, 20 from Indiana, 10 more from lllinois, 4 from Wisconsin, 6 from Washington, which totals 124, and, of course, the McAdoo people expect some of the 36 votes which come from Alaska, Porto Rico, the Philip- pines, Ha Zone and the District of Cqlumbia The foregoing when checked over by a bitter foe of McAdoo, a man who controls many votes and who says he never will vote for McAdoo, brought out the following points of disagree- ment on the second nd third col- umns: States. Friendls to A feAdoo New Hampshire .. Vermont ..... Massachusetts Connecticut .. Pennsylvania . Nebraska Colorado Arizona Michigan Minnesota Missouri Louisiana . Montana Wyoming Iillinois McAdoo Claims Disputed. Subtracting #hese differences, the towls wou!d appear to be 304 don- erdad to McAdoo as instructed or in- dorsed and 208 friendly, or a maxi- mum of 512 votes, which leaves 550 ant}-McAdoo outside of the terri- tories. This same individual gives as his own prediction that McAdoo will have 407 on the first ballot and 492 on e l%nfl ballot, and that he never will®have enough to pass the majority mark, which is 548 The Micadon managers, on the other hand, ar® confident that they will run up W 550 in a few ballots and then thef will make a supreme ef- fort to have the convention make a nomination either by majority rule or the appeal to enough delegations to break away to furnish the neces- sary two-thirds. But from both sides it can be written down even at this date neither McAdoo nor any one else has a two-thirds vote assured and the McAdoo claim of a majority is dispuged. | THINKS FATHER SLAIN. blughter of C.

Isabel B: Members MINIMIZES ISSUES IN 1924 CAMPAIGN G. 0. P. League Head Says Known Soundness and Ability Will Elect Coolidge and Dawes. HOLDS PLATFORM NOT VITAL Officers Elected‘by Local Group to Aid Campaign. Soundness and honest ability, and not issues, are going to win the 1924 national election, members of the League of Republican State Clubs, meeting last night at the Willard Hotel, were told by John A. Stewart of New York, former president of the National Republican League of Clubs. Mr. Stewart declared that it will be the personalitigs and the known char- acter and ability of Calvin Coolidge and Briz. Gen. Charles G. Dawes that ,:m carry them to victory next Novem- er. Thomas P. Littlepage, vice president of the local league, who has just Te- turned from Cleveland, where he was the legal representative of the repub- lican state committee of the District during the efforts to prevent its dele- gates from being seated at the con- vention, made an address, in which he declared that the American people owe the Cleveland convention a great debt of gratitude for selecting two sucl men as Coolidge and Dawes, and he c}r‘mllenged the democrats to match them. Snyder Opens Meeting. In opening the meeting, Edgar C. Snyder, president of the league, made a brief speech of welcome, in which he paid tribute to the conclusions of the Cleveland convention, lauded the standard bearers and explained the platform adopted, Mr. Snyder told the members of the league that from now on they must put forth every effort to bring success to the party next fall. He cautioned them against being over- confident. T. Lincoln Townsend, treasurer of the league, after submitting a report showing the flourishing financial con- ditjon of the league, told of the or- ganization last week of the Coolidge- Dawes Club of the District of Co- lumbia, of which he was elected president. He said that this club, which has the honor of being the | first one of that name formed in the United $tates, was organized to ad- 'maintenance and of the principles of the Republican party; to direct and interest those residing in the District of Columbia vocate promotion | of their political duties, and to aid and contribute to the election of the nominees and candidates of the Re- publican party. Sees Disaster in Fallare. “Failure to elect a Republican President and a Republican Congress at this time,” Mr. Townsend sald, “would disastrously affect the ness interest of the country, which we must depend fér the wel- fare and happiness of our people. If the people of this natior are to con- tinue In their present prosperous, happy, contended state, Calvin Cool- idge must be continued at the head of the nation.” At the conclusion of these speeches the meeting adopted a resolution presented by W. J. Dow. one of the vice presidents of the league, com- mending tie Cleveland convention upon its selection of Coolidge and Dawes, and pledged loyalty to the party of “Lincoln, McKinley, Harding and Coolidge.” Following the business session the present officers of the league were elected as follows: President, Edgar C.
