New York, June 18—William G. Me- Adoo, who has been considered by party Jeaders as one of the principal candidates for the democratic presidential nomina- need tonight he could not per- ame to go before the San Fran- ention. “This decision,” he gaid, “is irrevocable, as the path of duty seems to me clear and unmis ble.” His decision was made known in a telegram to Jouett Shouse, democratic deleg: who had telegra) t throughout the country rapidly erystallizing in his favor, that h _frvends would like to have him permit his name to be presented to the convention, and that they were certain he could be nomi- na and elected Mr. McAdoo's telegram follows: “Your telegram of June 17th requires an explicit and immediate answer. 1 am profoundly grateful to you and my other friends who with. such sponta- d unselfishness 1Tave without m: adv 1 my nomination.

J., June 18.—“Threats” by “reformers” to legislate tobacco out of the country were reported to the con- vention of the Tobacco Aszo United States here today by its secretary-treasurer. He said it not constitute being an alarmist to real- ize that a serious danger confronts the tobaceo trade “The professional reformers must have employment and now they have elected to attack tobacco,” he said, calling upon his colleagues to fight the anti-tobacco move- ment before it is too late. Tihs, he said, thould be done by counteracting propa- ganda designed to prejudice the public against the use of the weed These officers were elected: President, T. M.

L Edwards of New Jersey, in- Chicago fo- day on his way to San Francisco, de- clared in a statement that there would be no less than seven hundred delegates in the democratic national convention in favor of a modification of the Volstead act, permitting the use of light wines and beers in such states wish to do so, with state control of regulation under a general and liberal federal act.” “Opposition to the eighteenth amsnd- ment is not today a political issue,” Mr. Vick's statement said, “but the Volstead act is oven to amendment, as has been d out by Governor Edwards and by distinguished republican author- ity as Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. “The Volstead act is So extreme that it has placed in the criminal class mil- jons of women who make the home- grown fruit light wines for domestic ise; millions of farmers who make and mature cider from their orchards. It places under a ban millions of our citl- zens who for generations have regarded light wines and beers as much a part 5t their daily food as the bread upon their tables. Svil consequences have followed tha smactment of this unwise and undemo- sratic law. Moonshining has grown jwenty fold. It has come down out of fhe mountains into the plains and even the Path of Duty Seems to Be Assume, and Which I Do Not into the towns and cities. Disrespect of the law and the bribery of state and federal agents of enforcement are every- where in overwhelming evidence. In place of the harmless light wines and beers we have the increasing use of the harmful liquors in illicit trade. “The democratic party is going to call a halt on this and rescue the country from the hands of a fanatical minority whose numeric: weakness is shown ev- ery time they attempt a separate fight. The platform will be clear, fundamental- ly democratic. progressive, 1 hope, brief. It will embody one sentiment which ought to be taught in every schoolhouse in the United States—that is, respect for the president of the United States.” TO MAKE ACTIVE FIGHT FOR NOMINATION OF GLASS Washington, June 18.—“The refusal of William G. McAdoo to allow his name to be presented to the San Francisco con- vention will result in the waging of an active fight for the nomination of Sena- tor Carter Glass of Virginia,” declared tant Secretary of Treasury Shouse Shouse expressed his views rela- jtive to the candidacy of ~Senator Glass! after receiving Mg McAdoo's telegram. Testimony recently presented to the sen- ate campaign expenditures investigating committee identified Mr. Shouse as one of those participating in a conference here several weeks ago at which the candi- dacy of Mr. McAdoo was discussed. Mr. Shouse declared that the movement for the nominatiorsf Senator Glass “has already reached formidable proportions, and his supporters assert that he will occup from the first ballot a commanding position in the race at San Francisco.” Senator Glass has been among .the most enthusiastic of the McAdoo support- ers,” said Mr. Shouse. “It is true that the Virginia delegation was instructed {o support its senator, but it was under- Stood that Senmator Glass expected to throw his support to Mr, McAdoo. “News of the McAdoo withdrawal in Washington today was immediately fol- lowed by the announcement on the part of a number of the most loyal McAioo men that they would exert taemselves 1o the limit on behalf of Seaator Glass. "w'ey predict that the suggestion 6f Sen- ator Glass will meet with instant re- sponse and favor not only in. the south, but in many sections of the east, north and west. ) “The senator was brought prominently {before the public by his successful hand- ling of the Victory loan during his tenure of office as secretary of the treasnry.
