forth by Sullivan of Elko, New,

tho increases were not sufficient to
make up for tne loss in valuation
caused by the heavy reduction in pro

due to the falling oif in tne not pro

"Is Air. Smith in?" asked the offi

plied Smith.
In the few minutes that lntcrvc-ned
Sullivan awoke and was placed .mder

minutes of anger that followed It took
a bit of Patrick Henry oratory to
convince the officer that Sullivan was
Sullivan and not Smith. x
However, both men wcro placed un
der arrest and are both at leisure on
$5,000 bonds at Elko.

Sullivan Is nald to have remarked.

Former Secretary's Foes Look
to Commoner to Prevent
His Nomination
BY JOIIX CAL.LAN O'LOUGILLCs'.
. (Written loi Universal Service.) .
SAN FRANCISCO. June 29. The
.great question on candidates now be
toro tho Democratic national conven
tion, which assembled here yesterday,
can the McAdoo snowball be stopped?
There Is in process a surprising dis
integration of tho forces which came
to San Prancisco opposed to the ex
secretary of the treasury. Such men
as Murpny, ot Tammany Hail, who re
ltoratea tnis morning that he favors
tho candidacy of Governor Cox; of
Taggarl of Indiana, whose first choice
Is Vice President Alarsnall, and ot
members of the Illinois uclegation,
who are back of Attorney General
Palmer, are letting It lenK out that
they have no insuperable oDjection to
the Jsew 1'ork "statesman, 'incre was
a prospect that the group supporting
Governor Cox and the gioup pledged
to Mr. Palmer would join to prevent
.McAuoo's nomination, but that Is ro
gaided no longer probable In view of
the Intense 111 feoung wnich lias de
veloped between them. The cause of
that 111 feeiing Is attributed to the ac
tivity of a special agent of the de
partment of justice in investigating
tne personal record of tho Onloan.
Tho 3pectai agent disavows ho had
any authority trom the department of
justice tor nls action. .Nevertheless,
oiame la thrown upon Mr. Palmer.
So with tne possibility of a Cox-Palmer
combination disappearing the op
ponents of Mr. McAaoo are relying
unon one man to stun th drift in
him.
That Man Is Bryan.
That man is William Jennings Bry
an. yill tho former associate of Mr.
McAdoo In Piosidenl Wilson's cabinet
u-lic the lloor and demand that he be
put aside?
Mr. JJryan will not say. Those close
to hmi indicate he will not mention
ine ex -secretary. If lie does, if he de
nounces the .New Yorker by nume,
then the toiler's rivals will call upon
their last dltcliers lo Join with tne
140 odd delegates controlled by tfio
commoner In preventing the necc3
sury two thirds majority.
The most careful plans have been
laid lo develop Mr. McAdoo's strength.
In compliance with his request, no
nominating speech will be made In his
behali. Ihe votes are to speak for
him. Alabama will start tho first bal
lot with thirteen votes in his favor.
During the roll call, other delegates
will range behind him. Unless present
plans are changed, Mr. McAdoo' will
nave less than two hundred votes on
the first "ballot. Mr. Palmer, In all
probability, will be In the lead, with
Governor Cox second. There, is every
Intention to let Mr. Palmer and Mr.
Cox fight it out between thorn. Should
it become evident that neither can
win, then the drive for McAdoo will
start.
F'ahncr So Slouch.
It is getting to the point, however',
where McAdoo boosters claim only a
few ballots will be noccssarv. Tho
Palmer supporters talk of eight bal
lots, tho Cox adherents of a smaller
number. Back of the attorney gen
eial aro men of long experience in
politics, and Mr. Palmer himself is no
slouch at the political game. The
Painter management has casjly the
ablest tacticians, and oilier things be
ing equal this fact would assure vic
tory for Its candidate. Governor Cox
also is fortunate In having as his ad
visers such astute politicians as Mur
phy and to a lessor extent, TnggarL
But even without help from theso ex
perts the Cox movement owes -much
of Its strength lo the governor him
self. The tact that Cox Is regarded
as sllnninir Ih not nlli'iluWnliio. in i..
efficient direction of his campaign,
but to the purpose of the convention
to select a man who Is unassailable
from any angle and who has strength
throughout the country. Murphy dls-l
likes McAdoo. Ho prefers Cox. Tag-i
gart, accordlug to the best lnforma-l
tion obtainable, has Cox 'an second
choice. Tho Illinois delegation, which
has decided not to apply tho unit rule,
will go to Cox after it shall have aban
doned Pa4mer. So will Wisconsin and
I Minnesota, But as has already been
stated, when Cox has run his raco
thd support of the bosses nnd their
delegations will bo transferred lo Mc
Adoo unless the chanco of beating him
by a dark horse, preferably Davis, de
velops later.
How Boom Grows.
Hero Is an Instance of the way ihe
McAdoo boom has been growing. In
the convention from an antl-McAdoo
state Is a large coal operator, of the
group which was denouncod a few
months ago by tho cx-secrotary for
profiteering. Upon his arrival In San
Francisco this man declared he would
vole for any candidate other than Mc
Adoo. Today, his associates described
tho situation to him. He said ho could
turn traitor to the group to which ho
belonged. He wa3 told ho could serve
the men ho was protecting best by bo
lng in with tho winner, Ho was final
ly induced to abandon his opposition
and agreed If Mr. Palmer and Mr. Cox
were cast aside, he would vote for Mc
Adoo. Bryan nnd MeAdoo.
Mr. Bryan's opposition to Mr. Mc
Adpo Is ostcnolbly based upon tho lat
ter'a New York connections and above
all the fact that ho is the son-in-law
of the president. But the trouble be
tween tho two mon lies deeper than
the reasons advanced by tho Icono
clast of the convention, it goes back
to the days of the Baltimore conven
tion where they battled against each

McAdoo secretary o tho treaoury and
Mr. Bryan secretary of alato nnd their
views on internal and world problems
frequently clashed at meetings of tho
cabinet. Mr. McAdoo felt keenly Mr.
Bryan's resignation of office of sec

known to man.
I2very6ne Is speculating tonight as
to tho length of time required to dis
pose of the platform. It is recalled
that tho committee on resolutions at
Baltimore, did not report for 72 hour;
as a result of the obatlnancy displayed
by Mr. Bryan. If this record be
equalled here, the nominating
speeches will not be mado until
Thursday Tho chances are, however,
that there will not be tho long drawn
out contest which had been expected.

Gen. Robinson Gives
Second Keynote Speech
f (Continued from pago J.)
dcflnito policy? "Why was Its mean
ing concealed in a multiplicity of am
biguous words? .
Armenia Mandate.
"The president is condomhed for
asking authority of congress lo exer
cise a mandate for Armenia. It has
never been contemplated by anyono:
that the United Stales to so safeguard i
Its responsibilities ns to proceed with
the united support of England, I
France, Italy and Japan ns well as
every oilier member of tho league. j
The mandate may readily bo made!
self-sustaining. Why then should tho
president's request be treated ns auda
cious. Tho Republican party would
deny any encouragement or asslstanco
to Armenia and would forco a pro
tectorate on Mexico. They aro deaf
to tho appeal of the oppressed but as
alwas they aro sensitive to the call
of wealth. They are unwlllng to In
cur expense or' danger to protect mil
lions' of God-fearing Christians from
massacro, but they aro anxious to In
vade a foreign land for the protection
of property rights.
"Great ftopublican leaders, Includ
ing Mr. Lodge and Mr. Roosevelt, In
public addresses prior to the war,
championed tho establishment of a
league of nations. They anticipated
and answered with ireslstiblo logic tho
very arguments they now advance
against the lengue.
"The plain fact Is that the enemies
of tho league dictated tho policy of
tho majority in the senate and con
trolled tho platform declaration at
Chicago. Whllo tho league plank in
the Chicago platform Is full of am
biguities, Ii Is an indorsement of tho
positions of tho Irrcconcllables and a
repudiation of tho JLodgo reservations.
Tho league plank Is not frank. The
convention should have displayed tho
fourngo clearly to declare Its policy,
but tho Chicago convention was frank
on only one subjoct; in singing a hymn
of hate for the president.
Outlines Chief Issue.
"Tho ehiof lsuo Is' whether the
United States 3hall contract with oth
er nations to prevent unnecessary
wars; whether the wasto and sacri
fices of unjustifiable conflicts shall
bo superseded by orderly tribunals for
tho settlement of disputes among na
tions. If the Republicans win. tho
small nations which obtain their ln
; dopendenoo through .association In
the war with the allies will be over
come by their recont enemies and
Europe quickly will collapse Into its
pro-war condition of opprosslon and
threatened anarchy. Our country will
Incur the distrust and contempt of her
former nlllej and our people will earn
a reputation for selfishness and Irre
sponsibility which, will require cen
turies to counteract.
"If this war ends and tho allies go
their soparato ways without substi
tuting justice for force in the setlo
monl of International disputes, the
generations to come will bo born to a
horltago of wastefulness and blood
shed. Tho world wants and must
have some substantial advance, some
compensation for what It lost and suf
fered In the war. If the delegates In
H1I3 convention do their duty as our
soldiers have dono theirs, the voters
of tho nation will not fail them. If
wc mako this issue boldly wo will win.
Women of America.
"Will the women of America who
gave tholr mon to our uniform prove1
Indifferent to the cause of forever
rendering impossible the recurrenco of
such a strugglo as the war Just end
ed? It Is profoundly significant that
tho movements for woman suffrage
and for tho provontlon of uoodless
wars proceed simultaneously The im
medlato ratification of tho equal suf
frage amendment will assuro victory
for tho Democratic party on a plat
form favoring tho ratification of tho
treaty without destructive reserva
tions. The women of America stand
for peace andngalnst war.
"Never before has a nationwldo po
litical battle been waged in the causo
I of international Justice, humanity nnd
I peaco. Tho opposition has taken low
i and untenable ground. JLct the Dem
t ocratic party occupy tho heights.
, Never again will t any great political
party in America openly Invito dlsas
I ter by trifling with great problems."
j More McAdoo Talk
'But No Real Change
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S. Thero
Is more McAdoo talk In tho nlr tonight
but thore Is no change apparent in the
real situation.
Tonight there wore the first signs
of a movement among tho leaders and
managers to round up sentiment
among the unlnstructed delegations
and compute tho possibilities of nomi
nating somebody.
Principally, the night is given over
to mntlngs of the four big committees
In tho building which also houses the
convontlon auditorium. The leaders
and candidate managers arc all under
'on roof, nnd although they nro engag
ed mainly In committee business they
are not losing tho opportunity to con
ifer and possibly get together on tho
(makings of a slate of their own or per
'haps accept one which the drift among
the delegations may be forcing on
I them.
McAdoo boomers hoped all day that
their candidate would make soma
statement amplifying tho declaration
of National Committeeman Lovo of
Texas that tho nomination would not
bo rejected. Some were disappointed
nnd othors thought Mr. McAdoo', In
view of repeated previous declarations
of declination, was pursuing a wise
fl
courseln remaining silent.
Palmer and Cox people continued JH
their efforts to make a strong show- H
lng on tho opening ballots. About the H
only point on which tho three forces B
would agree was thai there would be B
no nomination on the first ballot, HBVJ
Most of them seemed to agree thero H
would be no nomination In less than
three to five. '
