Looking Toward Bryan. While the mancuvering on the can- didates was progress:\g. the all-night meeting of the resolutions committee was wrestling with the party plat- form. The framers heped by their prolonged session to dring the pilat- form iInt> today's session, dispose of the inevitable fight on the prohibition plank and proceed to the balloting for a nominec.

No one could be certain, however, of cven getting the resolutions cut of the way today. Claims of strength for the leaders anged about this way when the con- ntion got read) r business today 100 Azainst MeAdoo. Irreconcilable opponents of Me- Adoo claimed a block of at lcast 400 sitter enders who would stand to the last and prevent his nomination McAdoo leaders claimed to have within 50 votes of the necessary two- dnclared band-wagon movement The opposition to McAdoo claimed his vote never would exceed 450. They conceded to Palmer 203 votes which | they predicted would stick with the Pennsylvanian throughout the oppo- sition to McAdoo. New York was counted on to cast 75 of her 90 votes egainst McAdoo from the beginning to end. With votes from New Jersey, Indiana. New England and some others, the McAdoo opposition counts up about wgainst the former wec- retary, exclusive of the votes in the Cox block. It requires 728 to nom- inate. 3ryan's help is being counted on in the movement agai=st McAdoo but up | until to 0 w8 could be learned his only answer to overtures has been that he must for the present concen- trate all his energy on the platform fight One of the le would | tion by sayiog there Was an effort under way to Hardingize the conven- tion but up to the present moment no Harding could be found. Some of them foresaw prolonged balloting and negotiations ore an agreeme it could be reached Despite the growing organization opposed to McAdoo hif supporters ex- pressed confidence that he would win | before the tenth Lalot. They based their assertion on the ground that the opposition was unable to center on any one strong candidate. Discount Clark’s Chancos. Champ Clark was particularly dis- ounted by the McAdoo forces be- cause they thought that under no cir- cumstances could Bryan be s to him. Rather than oppose Mc he former secretary’s friends they think eventually Bryan will come | to his support if necessary. | they insist he will not oppose him | openly At least A break to McAdoo. his supporters say, will begin to come after the s ond or third ballot when the favorite | sons huve been eliminated McAdoo's friends want to force con- tinuous balloting once it starts, but they expect the Cox adherents will oppose it The auditorium was put to rights again today. the wreckage of yes day’s noisy scrimma pesred. State in orderly array and thcre was no re- minder of the frenzied scene that the speech of Burris Jenkins for McAdoo had precipitated Reaction from the scenes of yester- day has thrown the delegates into a maze of speculation and gossip on what would be said for the democracy on the Le s, the Irish question, the labor plank and the pro- hibition issue. Ik on the presidential nominee was mixed with a current of discus- sion as to the vice-president Plat- : form developments undoubtedly will influence that question but discussion turned toward picking a running mate for McAdoo should he be “drafted” for service. Davies Is Mentioned. The name of Joseph E. Davies, for- mer representative in congress from Wisconsin and first chairman of the federal trade commission, was sug- gested for a McAdoo ticket as was that of Secietary Meredith. The name of Victor Murdock of Nebraska, a leader in the progressive revolt in congress which opened the way for republican disaster in 1912, also bobbed up. The discussion >f second place with McAdoo continued to emphasize the name of Governor Cox.. At Cox head- nsure Your Furniture While Moving DEWITT A.

MORE than two million Diamond Tires are in use—now, almost one for every third car in the United States. The reason that hundreds of thousands of motorists are buying Diamond Tires is because Diamonds are delivering the service. Small wonder that motor- ists buy more Diamonds than any other tire not sold to car manufacturers for original equipment.
