COMPLETE CONTROL !
FOR WILSON'S FRIENDS
I
Administration Supporters Seem to
Be In Majority at Convention.
Glass for Chairmanship.
i
San Francisco, June 25.?So far as
surface indications were concerned,
at least, the friends of President
Wilson and his administration ap
peared in complete control of the
political machinery of the Democratic
party today, as the actual preliminaries
of the national convention began.
The domination was not without
its complement of grumbling and
complaints among scattering insurgent
elements but there was every
evidence that on a show down the
anti-administration forces not only
were far in the minority but were
lacking in organization and leadership.
The ascendency of the Wilson supporters
showed itself in striking
fashion in the program for the national
committee meeting to decide
between contesting delegates.
Many committee members ex-:
pressed the opinion when a recess
was taken until tomorrow without
the Georgia contest or the Missouri
cases having been reached that the
villi-ncr fj-i mflHp in these cases
...
would be shaped to keep out of the
convention Senator Reed of Missouri,1
critic of the Wilson policies.
Another development pointing in!
the same direction was the apparent
collapse of a fight against Senator
-Glass of Virginia in his candidacy;
for chairman of the resolutions com-1
mittee a post for which he is commonly
reported to have been selected
by the president himself. ' j
In addition there was accumulating
evidence that William J. Bryan :
would find the I cards against him in:
his attempt to put into the platform'
a league of nation plank in disagreement
with the president's views and
a prohibition enforcement plank
framed without the acquiescence of
the administration. j
With regard to prohibition, how-'
ever, the situation remained in state
of considerable uncertainty with the
trend apparently toward exclusion
from the platform entirely. Those
who want a liberalization plank continue
an active campaign and some
members of the New York delegation
declared they would carry their fight
to the floor of the convention itself,
but a feeling gained headway that in
the end both Mr. Bryan's bone dry
declaration and that of the anti-bone
drys would be voted down. j
Just where President Wilson
stands on that subject has not been
made clear, but increasing significance
was attached in the day's conferences
to the absence of any reference
to prohibition in the Virginia
Democratic platform, unqualifiedly
indorsed by the White House.
Neither has the administration
tipped its hand in regard to presi*
f r?m"crVlt. the
dentiai canaiua ICd anu
relative standing of aspirants remained
apparently unchanged. Attorney
General Palmer arrived today
to take personal charge of his campaign,
and by tomorrow the running
of candidates and their managers
among the uninstructed delegates is
expected to be at its height.
Support for Walsh.
Those who originally had suggested
a fight against Senator Glass for
the platform committee chairmanship
apparently had turned their efforts
tonight toward selection of Senator
?">v.iv,Qr(ont
Walsh of Montana as pc 1 liiaiivit v
chairman of the convention Senator
Walsh, who quit President Wilson's
lead in the senate in March to
vote for the treaty with reservations
heretofore was urged as the logical
opponent of Senator Glass. I
It was said tonight that the administration
forces had reached no decision
as to the permanent chairmanship
and that in the end they might
accept Senator Walsh without a contest.
There also wTas talk of selecting
Senator Robinson of Arkansas
for the place. ,
t>ip trend for no Dlank at all on
prohibition apparently had its greatest
support today from some of those;
previously counted on to support a
liberalization plank. j
Some of the best informed were
predicting tonight that the fight to
be made for such a declaration now
would resolve itself into a' nominal'
effort designed to put the convention;
on record. It was expected, however,;
that Mr. Bryan would be more insist- \
ent in his work for a bone dry plank |
and would take his fight to the con-!
vention floor if the platform commit-:
tee snowed him under.
Mr. Bryan reached San Francisco
late today and led off with a prediction
that the platform would contain
an affirmative dry plank. He declined
to divulge his plan of campaign in
detail and would not talk alx>ut the
*1 flflATlC of nil
UC l/i licmviu (
The suggestion that the platform
remain silent on the prohibition issue
was indorsed at a meeting of the
executive committee of the National
Women's Bureau and further development
in the same direction was
made by the California delegation
which caucused on policies without a
single mention of prohibition during
1? Tn monw rmarforc C.SI 1 i
CIIC 3C3diVU< All UIU a J ?V?W W?
fornia had been counted on to sup-j
port a wine and beer plank.
Many planks dealing with the
Irish freedom have been called to
the attention of the party leaders
and it was predicted that many conflicting
councils on the subject would
be laid before the platform committee.
At a conference in the office of
the American commission on Irish independence
an agreement was reach-)
bv reoresentatives of several
Irish-American bodies to stand to-!
gether for a plank espousing American
recognition of the Irish republic.
San Francisco, June 25.?A memorandum
distributed among .the
members of the national committee,
at their meeting today, shows 756
of the 1,092 delegates to the convention
are uninstructed. According
to the card the instructed delegates
.are: Icwa, 26 for Meredith; Ken
tucky, 26 for Cox; Nebraska, 16 for
Hitchcock; New Jersey, 28 for Edwards;
North Carolina, 24 for Simmons;
Ohio, 48 for Cox; Oklahoma,
20 for Owen; Oregon, 10 for MciAdoo;
Pennsylvania, 76 for Palmer;
South Dakota, 10 for Gerard; Virginia,
24 for Glass. The 28 votes
from Georgia are contested.
An examination of the ^temporary
roll shows there will be 308 women
delegates and alternates in the Dem- \
ocratic convention. They will be di-:
vided as follows: I
At large 41; alternates at large
39; district delegates 63; district alternates
155. |

; The government report of 62.4 in-;
, dicating the lowest averaged condi-j
! tion of the growing cotton crop in I
the last 50 years which is practically,
confirmed by the estimates ot otner
authorities will startle the cotton
world. At a time when the European
spinners thought anything less than;
a fifteen million bale crop in the
United States would be a world disaster
we have an indication of a crop;
of eleven million bales. Even this
estimate may have to be further reduced
by the activities of the boll
weevil and the unfavorable conditions
which prevail in growing this
*TT 1 X* I
crop. We Know tnm/ nic picociibi
price of cotton is far below its in- i
trinsic value measured by the cost!
of production alone and also by the
world's needs, for we know that according
to the law of supply and demand
cotton middling and above is
cheap today at 60 cents per pound.
Now, no matter what the market
may be, don't sell a bale of cotton
for less than 50 cents per pound.
There may be an apparent lack of
demand but when the spinners who
have hedged their requirements in I
New York July contracts demand
the cotton they are surely going to
demand the actual cotton and we '
shall see the shorts do some tall
scrambling to cover. As the spin?
'1
ners have been out 01 tne mantes ,
for some time we know they must (
either be very long of New York j
contracts cotton or they will have j
to begin to buy the actual cotton at j
once or they will have to close their j
mills. At the tremendous profits i
mills are making and a cotton fam- i
ine in sight I do not think they will
close down. Don't sell a bale for 1
less than 50 cents per pound. Sit i
steady in the boat and let the shorts 1
cover their oversold cotton as best
they can. Pay no attention how low
they run future contracts down. It
is an old trie* of the bears to do
this to try to depress spots just j'
when they have to buy spots to fill
their contracts to the spinners. Now
they say that the next government
report will be a very bearish report.
We know the condition report will be ;
some better than the last one but it
can only be a few points better. It
can not possibly come up to the average
June 25th report for the last ten
years which was seventy. I hope that
every spot holder will not be a bear
on the market but will be a great big
bull and you will soon see the shorts
come to cover for cotton to fill spinnable
contracts which they have sold

There is too much money in spring!
cotton today for the mills to stop
until they are compelled to for the
want of cotton. I want to say to the
spot holders that they have the situation
entirely in their own hands. The
spinners are compelled to have cotton
as I have said before there is not
enough spinnable cotton in the world
X fiv ?V* CA
LU XUU IJ1C U1H1S 1UI OlA UlUllbllo, uw
if the producers of cotton will sit
steady in the boat and be bulls on
the market instead of bears, you can
get your own price for your cotton.
Cotton mills spindles were not made
to stand idle. There is no money in !
a cotton manufacturing plant when 1
it has stopped, although I believe
that they will have to curtail and
run on short time that they may be
able to have cotton to run until the
present crop has been gathered. Just
refuse to sell and your price will
come.
From the very best information we
can gather there is really not going
to be very much increased production
of food crops this year. I want
to say to the farmers of South Carolina,
those who have not diversified
their crops, to make their farm selfsustaining,
it is not yet too late for
them to plant any of the early varieties
of corn, such as Hickory King
or any of the Dent varieties. You
can still plant these varieties up to
the fourth of July, thoroughly preparing
the land and fertilizing it,
working it quickly and it will make
good hard corn by frost. Also the
bunch speckled pea and black peas
can yet be planted and they, will
make good paying crops. Any farmer
who has to buy food for himself or
his animals will pay the highest price
novf vpflr that. hp has vet Daid for
these commodities. The man who is
looking for low cost of living next
year is only fooling himself.
