\ v fizbulation PERSHING FAVORED - FORSECONDPLACE Some Delegates Figure Dem- ocrats Need Service Man as Dawes “Antidote.” GENERAL NOT CONSULTED “Room Visiting” Popular as Rum Sleuths Pursue Drive on Offenders. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. NEW YORK, July 1.—Ever since they came to New York some of the delegates to the Democratic national convention have contended that a “service man” should be put on the national ticket as an offset to “hell and Maria"—Dawes of hte Republi- cans. Today these same delegates thought they had solved the problem. Their idea is to draft no less a per- son than Gen. John J. Pershing for Vice President. They are endeavor- ing to bring other delegates to the same view, and say they are meet- ing with gratifying success. General Pershing was Gen. Dawes’ commanding officer in France, and he was seriously considered four years 2go for definite political honors. To the objection that Gen. Pershing is not a Democrat his proponents at the convention hery: say that neither —is he a Republican. He has never voted either ticket. Having been in the Army all hiss life, he has never mixed in polftics—not national pol- stics, anyhow. The Pershimg boomers believe the Democrats wyuld make a ten-strike by placing %im on “the tail of the ticket. Thq, say he was appojnted commander- in-chief of the American forces in ¥ne world war by a Dem- ocratic Pry sident, and that his great military Bonors came to him under a Democrat ¢ administration. So far. as can be learned, no one at the conw :ntion has consulted the gen- eral ats>ut his incipient boom. ~As before fstated, their idea is to “draft” him, snd inasmuch as the A. E. F. comn ginder believes in the “draft, the « palegates argue that he could not con’ dstently decline the nomindion if i £ were tendered to him. “here have been fewer “soldier ¢ andidates” for office after the world * gar than in any other war-period of f.merican history. The Pershing fooomers say that after the revolu- “tionary war Gen. Washington was called to office. After the Mexican war Gen. Andrew Jackson was called to office. After the civil war it was Grant. After the Spanish-American war Roosevelt was called to the vice presidency, later succeeding to the presidency. The Republicans have chosen a service man for sec- ond place, so the Democratic goblins are likely to get Black Jack Persh- ing if he does not watch out. Now that night sessions have be- come the regular order of the con- vention, the delegates and their wives have solved the problem of what to do with their metropolitan evenings. As a matter of fact, there has mot been much difficulty on that score from the very beginning. During the first week of the convention _the Jocal committee on entertainment had provided dinners and receptions and dances for most every night and Violently protested against the hold- inz of night sessions during that time. The theaters have not had much of an appeal to the delegates. This was partly due to what the visitors re- jarded as “outrageous” prices at the box offic There was no increase in - prices anywhere. The managers all agreed to that. But when it nnovnced as & great “conces- to the DemocPatic uosts that could go ta the “Follies” for 50 a seat, the “comcession” was a “flop” to use the parlance of the thea- ter. Rather than go to the theater, the delegates have preferred to stand around the hotel lobbles and gossip about what was likely to happen. They always do that at conventions anyhow. Old convention towns like Chicako never make any special pro- ions for the delegates. They know ¢ will g0 their own wuys. There been much “room visiting” here, just as there was in Cleveland, for the official “rum hounds” from Wash- ington have succeeded, by mever- ceasing raids, in drying up what may be called the convention zone of New York fairly well. As a matter of fact, tae prohibition enforcement people are pinning roses on them- Ives every day. They feel they have done a good job. = They even caused the arrest of a Chicago alder- man who had some hard stuff in_his suitcase. The federal judge let him off with a $10 fine, but it was a great moral victory for the Haynes brigade just the same. SPECIAL NOTICES.

These piping days of peace at the convention have brought forth the piping voices of the ladies. The vari- ous delegations are vieing with each other in putting forward the lady delegates to announce the votes on the various ballots being taken. Most of the women have wee small voices which have difficulty in reaching the recording desk, but occasionally a| trained speaker announces in tones that can be heard all over the hall. Such an effort always wins applause. The Texas delegation is giving every member an opportunity to an- nounce a vote—men and women alike. There are forty prsons in the delega- tion, so they can run forty ballots before repeating. During all the first day’s.balloting Senator Walsh of Montana, the per- manent chairman, received one vote. So whenever he had to announce the results the chairman would insist upon calling this one vote “scatter- ing.” It reminded some of the Bos- ton newepaper men of an ecclesiasti- | cal convention held in the Hub some time ago for the election of an Epis- copal bishop. In announcing the final result_one reporter wrote that “the Rev. Mr. Scattering recelved three vots.” ‘When Judson Harmon, the vener- able buckeye Democrat, arose to an- nounce that Ohio cast her forty-eight votes solidly for James Middleton Cox, comparatively few persons in the vast assembly of disciples of Thomas Jefferson recognized him. Mr. Harmon was serving as at- torney general in the cabinet of Grover Cleveland before many of the delegates attending the present con- vention were born. He is in his 79th year, but still is one of the stalwart war ‘horses of the Democracy. ‘When Senator Pat Harrison read the announcement to the convention that former Secretary Fall, the two Dohenys and Harry F. Sinclair had been indicted at Washington in con- nection with the oil scandals, the band burst forth with ‘The Stars and Stripes Forever.” One of the older delegates suggested that “Dows Went McGinty- to the Bottom of the Sea” would have been more ap- propriate. But these modern bands don’t know many of the old ditties. The official stenographic reporters of the convention welcomed the bal- loting period with a great sigh of relief. The perfervid flow of oratory which had marked the convention from the opening session to the close of the Klan and anti-Klan fight early Sunday morning had = overworked the shorthand men almost to .the point of exhaustion. The official re- porters of a Democratic gathering always draw a heavy task, however. One man could have handled all the work at the Cleveland convention. Here it has required a young army. It remained for a young newspaper woman to spring the first evening gown of the convention. While the delegate ladies were still garbed in their daytime frocks, the lady re- porter appeared in the press section all dolled up in pink with a Spanish shawl draped around her decollette shoulders.

DAVIS (Continued from First Page.) delegate is a “uncertain critter” to handle, and is likely to go up in the air very suddenly. Use of Meney Not Rumered. The convention, however, has been peculiarly free from rumors of the use of money thus far, the only inti- mation of being broached in the ‘Missouri delegation yesterday °and which led to a fist fight. The Underwood managers are ex- pecting to gather some strength from New York when the break comes in that delegation. There were confer- ences with the New Yorkers after the convention adjourned last night and the Underwood men came away very much encouraged. Soon after the assembling of the convention one of the respnosible Democratic leaders who himself has been a favorite son candidate in touch with all factions sal convention is so shot to pieces that at this hour no one can predict the nominee, Today will be devoted to ‘shaking out the dead timber,’ so that by tomorrow we will be able to see some light.” New Hampshire dumped its favor- ite son, Gov. Brown, on the sixteenth ballot and divided its vote among sh, McAdoo apd Smith. During the calling of the roll on the seventeenth baliot word passed through the hall that several dele- gations which have been supporting McAdoo had notified his managers that they would stand with him for four or five ballots more to give him opportunity to increase his vote, and then if he had not made a better showing they would break..

POLICE WAGE INCREASE PUT iN EFFECT TODAY Twenty-two stalwart young men appeared at police headquarters this morning and were sworn in as mem- bers of the force to serve the pro- bationary term of one year to dem- onstrate their fitness for permanent appointment. Twenty had been pro- vided for by a recent act of Con- gress; the other two were appointed to_fill vacancies. Every member of the force received increased compensation beginning fo- day, the first of the new fiscal year. Under the recent act of Congress pro- vision was made for giving fifty mo- tor cycle policemen extra compensa- tion of $120 a year. Under the provisions of the sam bill Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief of detectives, becomes an assistant chief of police, and "Lieut. Walter Emerson, in charge of the detective office between ¢ p.m. and midnight, is raised to the grade of -captain. Both receive the increased compen- sation of the advanced ranks. W. S. Shelby, member of Maj. Sullivan's staff, is raised to the rank of in- spector. Five additional horse-mounted men also were provided for in the appro- priation act.

They stand the long sessions, lasting all day and far into the night with more good nature than the men. They g0 without food uncomplainingly. They go without the beverages which ot only cheer but do the other things— a retraint which many of the male delegates hawe not placed upon them- selves in this city of good cheer. A little lady from Oklahoma was in an - elevator at her hotel last night, Just before going to the Garden to re- sume the balloting for the presidential nominee. She wore a delegates badge. “Do you krow,” she said turning to a man member of tae delegation, “I had breakfast in time to get to the sesgion at 9:30 this morning, and L didn’t get a thing to eat until I had dinner at 7 o'clock tonight. I for- got all about it.” But seriously, the women take their polities to heart. They are keenly in- terested. * They watch every move and help to make some of them, One thing particularly noticeable amonge the delegates—the women are favorable to McAdoo, even in delegations which are not voting for him. The women look upon him as a progressive, and for the most part the women are more progressive than the men. Speaking of women—it's possible that a woman may be nominated to run on the third and independent ticket for Senator La Follette at the Cleveland convention of the confer- ence for progressive political action, which opens July 4, and the woman who has been mentio candidate is Miss Florence Allen, justice of the supreme court of Ohio) Miss Allen is the only woman ever to have been elected to the supreme state.
