RALSTON BOOM GROWING Davis Considered Out of Race by Disclosure of Connections With Standard 0il. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 25.—William Gibbs McAdoo is holding his lines. Gov. Al Smith of New York is forming a more cohesive organization hourly and working in combination with several “favorite son” delega- tions, John W. Davis, leader of the dark horses and second choice of most of the delegates of the convention, has been almost irreparably hurt by the disclosure that he is an attorney for the Standard Oil Company. Senator Ralston fo Indiana, al- though criticized as being too old to make the strenuous race ahead is considered the least objection- the candidates offered and Tom Taggart is maneuvering him gradaally into position for a com- promise. McAdoo Delegates Stick. Until the McAdoo delegates have been definitely driven away from the former Secretary of the Treas- ury, the convention will remain deadlocked indefinitely and talk of dark horses is premature. And the McAdoo delegates are sticking. This is the situation on the second day of the Democratic national con- vention so far as candidacies are con- cerned, but there are other troubles and controversies almost as signifi- cant and vexing for the delegates. It is incredible, for instance, that there should be a row in a Demo- cratic convention over the league of nations issue, especially after the re- markable demonstration which greet- ed the mention of Woodrow Wilson's name in the opening session. but it is true nevertheless. The resolutions committee is still holding open hear- ings before going into executive ses- but the friends of the league are growing more and more appre- hensive every minute that the com- mittea may decide to straddle the N THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

NEW YORK, June 25.—Not only is Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo at her husband's side every time he make a public appearance, but in her own quiet way the daughter of Woodrow Wilson is doing all in her power to further her husband’'s ambition to follow her father in the White House.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June —McAdoo headquarters hummed today with ac- tivity, but there was no indication of any change in the situation. ~Mr. McAdoo and his managers con- tinued to express optimism with re- gard to strength he will poll when balloting begins, but it was admit- ted that disturbing reports had been brought in by some workers of in- creased activity on the part of politi- cal foes to alienate the support of delegates, particularly those from "western states » In the face of these reports, how- ever, the McAdoo campaign managers wers emphatic )in the declaration that they were holding their own in all delegations and were confident of gaining strength here and there. McAdoo Stays Away. As on yesterday, Mr. McAdoo re- mained away from the convention hall. In his hotel suite, conferences were held in rapid-fire order with various political advisers and dele- gates were received for a word of greeting. Although their candidate was ab- sent from the convention floor, the McAdoo managers were at Madison Square Garden when the convention opened again today, to watch develop- ments and keep their lines intact They were in constant touch with their chief bs telephone. Late yesterday, at his first confer- ence with newspapermen since Sat- urday, Mr. McAdoo declared that he and his associates felt “very confi- dent of the outcome here—certainly the progress we are making, as re- ported by our friends, could not be more encouraging.” Talks With Bryan. Disclaiming any intention of at- tempting to control the platform, Mr. McAdoo said he had discussed ith Mr. Bryan “some phases of the plat- form.” including the Bryan “peace’ plank.

Published charges that the McAdoo forces had cornered 2,900 convention tiekets brought from David Ladd Rockwell, McAdoo's campaign man- ager, not only a denial that this wa: true, but a charge that “as raw deal as has been handed the McAdoa | organization since it arrived in New | York city has been handed it in the matter of tickets.” “The McAdoo organization,” Mr. Rockwell in a formal statement, “was promised 1,000 tickets.

He was attended by a trained nurse and made frequent use of smell- ing salts during the twenty minutes he was in the committee room. Despite the apparent effort it cost him, Mr. Gompers twice addressed the committee, pleading for justice for the workers and inveighing particu- lurly against the use of the injunction by the courts in industrial disputes. that moment, which may not come for a day or two.

There is every likelihood that un- lesa the platform plank is unequiy- ocal on this subject the fight will be carried to the floor of the convention. The origin of the timid- ity here, however, is interesting. There are many states where the Democrats who left the party in 1920 on the league issue have not re- turned. In their anxiety to win, even stanch adherents of the league are saving there is no use deliberately antagonizing large groups of voters. In opposition to this line of reason- ing is the oft-repeated argument of sentiment has swung considerably nce 1920, and that even the Republican convention at Cleveland was not as hostile to co- operation with Europe as was the case in 1920. The McAdoo managers, who it would be thought would lead the fight for the league of nations, are conspicu- ously silent, preferring to have the issue made by others. Men like New- ton D, Baker and Carter Glass will not let it slumber, and are sure to in- sist on a plank favorable to the league. Mr. McAdoo's position is that the league should be entered by the United States only after a national referendum. William Jennings Bryan favore the same thing. Klan Plank Near Acceptance. On the Ku Klux Klan plank agree- ment seems to be in sight, and there is much less controversy about the prohibition question than there was four years ago. The platform will be brought in_by the resolutions com- mittee on Thursday, but a debate on the floor appears inevitable with the final decision subject to balloting on specific planks by the convention it- self. Most_of the opposition to McAdoo here has developed from the Ku Klux Klan issue, and his supporters are anxious to have the platform adopted so that he can publicly say he stands on the plank therein. This may dispose of much of the antago- nism he has encountered, though. when that is out of the way, a revival of the ofl issue would not be sur- prising. Dark Horses Hopefal. The arguments of the McAdoo peo- ple on this phase of their campaign here are interesting. The keynote speech of Senator Pat Harrison point- ed with pride to the record of the Democratic administration in having a no-scandal record in eight years of power. So also do the friends of Mc- Adoo_contend that in five years and a half serving as Secretary of the Treasury and later as director gen- eral of raflroads, handling $27,000.- 000,000, not a_single act can be pointed out as dishonest or improper in_his official record. It is the principal answer made now by the McAdoo men and it will be their line of defense if he is nomi- nated. But it has a weakness— many of the delegates are being urged to nominate some one who will not have to be on the defensive from the start. N at's the dark horses hold their heads high with hope. (Copyright, 1924.) — URGE VICE PRESIDENCY FOR GENERAL BULLARD Michigan Delegates May Support Marne Hero at Democratic Convention. By the Associated Press. . NEW YORK, June 25.—A Soldier candidate for the Democratic vice presidential nomination was put for- ward last night by W. A. Comstock, national committeeman from Mich- igan, and Alfred Lucking, a Michigan delegate, in a_statement declaring that Maj. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard would recelve support from Michigan in the event the presidential nomination went to a western man. “Jt is fitting that we recognize the magnificent valor and accomplish- ment of the hero of the second bat- tle of the Marne, which turned the tide of conflict and marked the be- ginning of the end of the war,” the statement said. We believe it would not detract the slightest that he is a communi- nt of the Catholic faith. In faet, it {s 'time we got rid of the tradition that one of that denomination is in- eligible—and again prove to the world that the Democratic party is the broad, liberal, non-sectarian and non-sectional party of the nation. —_————— It pays to read the want columns of The Star.

And still the Republicans come. Pretty soon there will be no room for the unterrified democracy. The latest G. O. P. arrival of prominence is former Representative Philip Camp- bell of Kansas Mr. Campbell was at one time chairman of the all pow- erful rules committee in the House of Representatives. At the Cleveland convention, which was so lambasted by Keynoter Harrison, Mr. Campbell was chief parliamentarian. He was always at the front of the plaftorm read to “parliament” but the con- vention was so well organized that no gquestions arose and the abilities of the well known Kansan were not called into play. The “senatorial oligarchy” of which former Gov. Cox used to complain in the last campaign is catching it hot and heavy in this convention. The “oligarchy” had reached height in 1920 when it dictated the nomination of Warren Harding and wrote the party platform. It met its Waterloo at Cleveland. The Democrats can't say _much worse things about some of the Republican senators than were said and thought at Cleveland by the friends of President Coolidge. Pat Harrison presided with so much pep and perspicacity while acting as temporary chairman that many of the delegates wished he had been selected for the permanent post. Pat put things through with a rush that called forth smiles and cheers from the perspiring delegates. Madison Square Garden has a glass roof and the “daylight-saving” sun shines through it with all the vim and vigor of mid-July rather than late June. Hot houses have glass roofs, so the reader may draw his own conclusions as to the tempera- ture in the convention hall when things get to going right. The Democrats always draw hot weather, and, best of all, they love it. It didn’t take ‘em ten minutes to “shuck™ their coats and make a shirt-sleve affair of it. The southern delegates were spots of coolness in their linen and duck suits. . g Whoever selected Miss Anna Case as_convention soloist certainly got a aquick and appreciative vote of thanks from the delegates and galleries. Miss Case, who is a Metropolitan Opera star, sang “The Star Spangled Ranner” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” with a dramatic fervor which _swept the convention off its feot. Her voice rang clear and mel- low above the chorus of 10,0000 voices which joined her at her beckoning. Delegates who had not caught her name at first rose in their places and demanded that they be told again. Miss Case not only has a lovely voice, but is a lovely lady, and tho delegates were loath to let her go. The convention band occasionally gets its signals crossed. It had bet- ter watch its step when the favorite son booms are being launched. Some hot-headed southerner or hard-head- ed westerner may take a shot at it if it perpetrates the wrong tune. For instance, when Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippl was first introduced the band ineptly played “California, Here I Come.” Pat had no ldea of Eolng to California for anything or anybody. Later the band sent out a correction by bursting into “Dixie.” That helped some. The sessions of a Democratic na- tional convention always are late in assembling. The delegates don’t seem to mind. It gives them an op- portunity to go visiting on the floor or to rally around their standards and sing the state songs. About the only state song everybody seems to know is “My Old Kentucky Home.” “In Dear Old Georgl: generally gets a few volunteers from the outside, but “I-O-wa; I-O-wa: That's Where the Tall Corn Grows,” generally has to go it alone. “The ‘Banks of the Wabash” are still remembered by some of the old-timers, but the modern generation seems to have passed it by. In telling the delegates that New York is the_ fairest city in all the land Mayor Hylan always makes one exception. He puts Wall street on the griddle and toasts it to a fare- you-well. He says Wall street is a narrow lane with a river at one end and a graveyard at the other. In be- tween, he opines, there is crowded more wickedness, more corruption, more “special interest,” more embat- tled boodle, than in any other quar- ter of the world. Some folks who have “listened to the- mayor are be- ginning to believe he took Hollins Randolph of Atlanta serlously when Hollins - told him the Georgia dele- gation was first for McAdoo and sec- ond for Hylan. The Republican convention at Cleveland was like a stately society function in a severely draped drawing room. The Madison Sguare Garden show is like a picnic or a chowder party, with the old flags flying and the bunting flapping invthe breeze.
