nemo of Will. am liihlm IteAdoO, for
mer pecretary of the treasury will he
placed formally In nomination at the
convention "at the earliest opportun
ity' Tils supporters decided at an
early morning conference today.
Presentation or McAdoo s name win
he by llurris A. Jenkins, Kansas City
minister.
in confirming the persistent ru
mor thai McAdoo'i name would go
hefore the convention, Samuel it.
Amldon, Kansas national commit,
teentan and floor leader for the Mc
Adoo forces declared the former
eoretary'l friends had decided to
yield to the "thousands upon thou
nnds Of letters, telegrams and per
gonal calls urging the norn. nation."
There was no way to avoid votes
being cast for Mc.Adno. he said, and
therefore It was decided "that the
strength might as well he bunched."
The confirmation of. the report of
the derision to nominate McAdoo
came Just ahead of the opening ot
the second day's session of the con
vention. McAdoo workers Immediately be
gan "passing the word along" to
those they knew were ln accord w'n
the plan. The effect of the an
nouncement, however ,had not yet
had time to develop.
Such headauarterg a- Mr McAdoo
will have at the convention were
opened here today. They consist of
three rooms rented hy personal
f-"nd of Mr MoAdOO and are to
he used solely for conferences. No
one is In charge nf the rooms noi
ls a publicity campaign from them
being planned. Conferences nightly
perhaps Will he held by McAdoo s
supporters during the remainder of
the convention.
No claims are being advanced bv
the McAdoo supporters as to the
number of votes on the first or sub
sequent ballot Reports made by
men on different state delegations,
however, claim anywhere from 260
to IbO. These figures represent the
minimum and maximum reports.
The number ol ''second choice" votes
In sight am said tonumber morejihan
300.
Mr. McAdoo's friends say he may
run third in the balloting on early
votes. They expect Palmer to lead
because he has a tremendous "com
pllmeniary" vote that would be cast
for him on the first ballot. Cox may
run second they atld and after that
the break will be toward McAdoo.
The Tammany delegation Is hav
ing a hard time deciding what to do
regarding McAdoo. It will cast its
early vot en for Governor Smith b-.it
will not make a hard fight for him
because he Is being groomed as Tarn

tralization encroaches un the
rights of the family and socialism
tho rights of the child.
'.Sad Is the lament of many
thinking people and educators
within and without the church, at
the absolute divorce of our sys
tem of public education from re
ligion. The constant and continu

the schoolroom must have Its un
fortunate effect on the young
mind. The n.tion Is bound to foei
und suffer the consequences.
"The philosophy of the world
Is to enjoy what one pleaseA to
think as one pleases, and to do
what one pleases without the
checks plsced by religious sane,

After the mass the convention In
a resolution "congratulated" the
Catholic, peopel of Michigan on
the "earnest defense they are
making of the natural right of
every parent to direct the educa
n. .ii of his child.

SAN FRANCISCO, June
29. The subcommittee of
nine making a preliminary
draft of the democratic
platform rejected tonight
a proposal to include s wet
plank. Tho deliberations
and vote wore in secret but
it waa understood that the
vote against a wet plank
waa at a ratio of 2 to 1.
After the platform sub
committee had been in ses
sion for more than two
hours it was still working
on the language of a league
of nations plank.
Senator Walsh of Mon
tana left the committee
room just before midnight
bound for bed. Other mem
bers of the subcommittee
were understood to have
decided to remain in ses
sion throughout the night.
It was understood that
the committee was in dis
agreement as to procedure.
Some members led by Sen
ator Walsh felt that the
views of each member of
the full committee should
be ascertained on impor
tant issues before the work
of drafting the planks was
taken up.
The opinion was ex
pressed among some sub
committee members that
the draft could not be com
pleted before tomorrow
night at the earliest and
possibly not before Thurs
day morning.
HAN FRANCISCO, Jans 19.
Actual work on the democratic plat
form wus begun tonight by th
subcommittee of nine after last
minute suggestions from many
sources had been heard at an all
day public hearing.
The committee met behind closed
doors. Just before It was called to
order Chairman Olass announced
that nothing would be made publlo
regarding subcommittee recom
mendations imi to platform planks
until the full committee had passed
upon them. Special precauUons to
guard the sub-committee delibera
tions from Interruption were taken
and It looked like an allnlght session
might bn in prospect.
When the subcommittees met ths
most serious problems confronting
the contention, Including prohibi
tion, the league of nations and ths
Irish iiuestlun still were far from
solution snd it was apparent that
some of these subjects ut least would
dsvslop fights In tho full commit
tee and probably on the convention
floor, regardless of what action ths
subcommittee might take.
