"I am here officially aa vlce-presldsnt

"I am looking on, but laying little.
I hava been locked up 'at Washington
for a long tlma, and perhaps I hava
failed to grasp just what the people
want."
That aounded aerloua. The next mo

"I am beginning to learn, however,"
he continued. "I find that most of them
want money, more money."

"I tee that J. Hamilton Lewis la run

platform." he went on. "I think every
man should have the right to run for
vice-president on his own piairorm.
On the big questions which are to come
before the convention Mr. Marshall has
very liberal views. It is nis opinion
that there are two sides to every ques

his say.
'Even a sheet of paper has two aides,

There are those In San Francisco who
believe this Jovial human has talked
himself nut of a chance of being nomi

that "there Is nq Irish question." Many
of his friends 'believed that such a
remark, if given thoughtful considera

is not taken seriously by certain
friends, who feel confident that he
stands as good a chance as any of those
now In the field to pull down the big
prize.
Mr. Marshall will he In San Francisco
tomorrow. . He will be a guest at the
St. Francis hotel with a party of
friends. The Marshall adherenta are

Thus far there has been ao open work

ATTITUDE OF PRESDENT
San Francisco, June IS. (I. K. g.)
Unless something la forthcoming from
ths Whits House which will chango
plans now Inthe making. It Is certain
that no leesPhan fifteen namaa sulu k

nere nexi ween as possible recipients
for nomination honors. -
Aside from the name of Weodrow
Wilson himself, four namea stand out
pre-eminently loday as the vanguard of
ths degeatee began to arrive. ' These
are William O. MeAdoo, A. Mitchell
Palmer, Vice-President Thomas R. Mar
shall and Gov. James Cox, of Ohio.
The oontfnued silence from the Whtts
House on the question of a third term
or on any particular candidate Is creat
ing a situation akin to that existing In
Chicago right up until the Saturday
upon which Senator Harding was nom
inated. The delegates and political
mentors already hers are uncertain
which way to turn for guidance or a
flgnt.
Silence Ominous.
There Is a distinct feeling among ar
rivals that the silence from the White
House Is soon to bs broken, that the
president will In a few days either
nominate himself or else ne will throw
the tremendous weight ofhls support
behind some one of tne fifteen men in
the striving.

SHIELDS ASSAILS
lETOO'ROBERTS
He Believed Roberts Was Too
. Big a Man to Join
"Me Too" Crowd.
DENIES ANY ALLIANCE
Knoxville, Tenn., June 23. Declaring
he believed the state's chief executive
to be a bigger man. than to Join the
"me, too." crowd In criticism of his
vote on the league of nations, John K.
Shields, senior sanator from Tennessee,
last night made a hot reply to state
ments In the press June 7 regarding
action of the state democratic conven
tion demanding a reversal of his posi
tion on the league of nations, but espe
cially replying to Governor Roberts'
answer to queries propounded by ts
Commercial Appeal.
The senator charges that ths utter
ances of the governor were prompted
by Luke Lea of the Nashville Tennes
son and C. P. J. Mooney of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal.
Shields' statement la as follows:
"Governor Roberts, cowering and
quaking like the trembling aspen before
a storm, with fear of the Nashville Ten
nessean and the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, In reply to an insolent demand
from the latter, hastened to wire the
Commercial Appeal that he approved
of the resolution passed by the conven
tion at Nashville condemning me, and
that If nominated for governor In the
August primary as the leader of the
democracy of Tennessee he will demand
that I carry out the will of the Ten
nessee democrats as expressed In the
convention that Is, vote for the ratifi
cation of the league of nations.
"Col. W. R. Crabtree, also a candi
date In the primary, I am Informed,
made a similar statement, but because
of his natural weakness and want of
Information I forbear any comment
upon his action. '
"When the governor's statement was
published In the Comemrcial Appeal, on
account of the persistent manner In
which that paper has misrepresented
and criticized me, I hesitated to be
lieve that It was genuine, but his si
lence gives his assent to It.
"Governor Roberts and I have never
had a political alliance, but our rela
tions have been reasonably friendly. I
considered him to be a fair -and just
man. and I did not believe he would,
through fear or for supposed political
personal advantage, join with others In
assailing a public officer for following
nis judgment in tne performance or an
off lclal duty and make the weak and
looiisn statement attributed to mm.
"When, as judge of the supreme court,
It was necessary to reverse his decree,
ss sometimes occurred, I did not ques
tion nis integrity, tio one Knows Det
ter than he that he could not force me
to vote for the league of nations. He

Cox's Manager, Moore, and
Homer Cnmmings Eeply to '
' W. F. McOombs.
San Francisco. June 23. "No man wilt
get anywhere by subjecting the presi
dent to either open attack or sneering
references." said E. H. Moora. mtnunr
of the campaign of Gov. Cox, of Ohio,
ior tne democratic presidential nomina
tion In a statement today replying to
the charge made by William F. Me
Combs. of New Tork. that ths nresi.
dent has been "autocratic in assump
tion of authority."
Mr. Moore's statement follows:
"My attention has been rallai tn
statement made by Mr. McCombs at

cidentally the president

of sarcasm and who cannot resist the
temptation to say things which do-tr-
reparable damage to the cause they
represent.
"Tha surest method nt havlnar tha
democratic platform make the leaeua of
nauons tne leaning issue is ior Its
enemies to attack tha presidast. Presi
dent Wilson has not only th admiration
of the democratlo party, Ifcit- Its entire
sympathy in his efforts to advance the
cause of humanity. Besides being ths
titular head of the democratic party he
is also president of the United States
and no man will get anywhere by sub
jecting him either to open attack or to
sneering references."
The statement of William T Un.
Combs, of New Tork, former chairman
of the democratic national committee.
that I'resident Wilson's assumption of
autnority nas oeen autocratic" waa
termed yesterday by Homer Cummlngs,
present cnairman oi tne national com
mlttee. as "one of those snoradio critl
cisms that are a negligible faction in our
anairs. '
"Questions as to the leadershln of
ths president answer themselves," Mr.
Cummlngs aald. "The character of such
leadership depends upon tne vitality or
the man who is president. Mr. Wilson
Is a very vital leader and his greatness
wul be more universally recognized in
the next decade tnan pernaps lt is now.'
Discussion as to the platform and or
ganlzation of the democratic national
convention continued today to concern
delegates here apparently more than the
prospects today of aspirants for the
nomination. It was said that if the
proposal to make Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, ot Montana, permanent chair
man of the convention, is not realized
he may be put forward for the chair
manshin of the resolutions committee.
which frames the platform,. Balnbrldge
Colby, secretary of state, has been men
tioned frequently tor' tne permanent
chalrmanshio of the convention, and
Senator Glass, of Virginia, heretofore
has been - virtually the only delegate
advocated to head the platform com
mlttee.
There seemed to be some uncertainty
today as to whether the Virginia state
democratic platform Indorsed by Presi
dent Wilson would be urged In Its en
tirety as tne pasis oi tne national plat
form or only acceptance of the league
of nations plank would be advocated.
Both democrats and republcana ap
parenty had overlooked the Panama

vention Mr. .Cummlngs said today. Ap

from the xone will be passed upon by
