CUMM1NGS MAKES X ' FINE IMPRESSION Not as Muck Enthusiasm Exhibited as at St. Louis Convention in 1916. | K. Foster Murray in The News and ^ Courier. San Francisco, June 29.?While the Democratic national convention i of 1920 started with -several times as much "pep" as the Republican convention a few weeks ago, it is a fact that the enthusiasm of the con vention the first day did not reach the height touched at St. Louis four years ago. Homer S. Cummings is a "find" as chairman of the national ' committee and made an admirable keynote speech on taking the stand as temporary chairman but in delivery, he has no such spellbinding % power as the Hon. Martin H. Glynn of New York, who had the convention at St. Louis going fairly wild with applause every minute or two, aTtrl Senator Robinson of Arkansas, x who is slatecTltor permanent chairW> man, will have to surpass himself if he can equal the masterly presentation of the Democratic record ,and principles fcy the late Senator Ollie James of Kf>tficky in assuming the same chair in 1916. Nor were the galleries here so demonstrative as -the opening of the convention as they were at St. Louis, for some rea-. son there were a number of vacant . Seats in the gallery at San Francisco on the opening day. This will partly tVifl "for - OCCUl S^aiU| LTCUlUOb vuv V' seats is clamorous. ^ ; Many Seats Vacant. .There must have been a mixup somewhere. With such a wonderful auditorium and with so many people anxious to see the show, it is a ahame that whole blocks of seats fibroid have been vacant. The delegates themselves, exhibited more life the first day of tHTs Democratic convention, even though not so noisy as they were four years ago than the delegates in the recent Republican convention showed throughout that \ \ body's entire series of sessions. As fco timo for p-ettincr down to brass ?smv 0 w tacks draws nearer the McAdoo talk grows aggressively confident, San Francisco pretty generally assumes, that the former secretaire will be the nominee of the convention with Gov4 ernor Cox of Ohio as his running v mate begins to seem probable. Cox will be the vice presidential choice in almost any event, it seems. "We must have Cox on the ticket to carry ( ' Ohio," is an expression heard Bn all sides. Utter collapse of fighting the , resolutions committee against the se- , lection of Senator Glass o? Virginia' " ?1? -..^mio+wq -nrrtnf as chairman is^ oniy CUliiuiabiTb of the complete dominance of the convention by the administration, forces. If even two-thirds of the stren-erth which is controlling-the con-' vention as to organization* turns out to be in favor of the president's son in-law as the standard bearer in the campaign, then McAdoo will be named.. A good deal of this strength is in the Palmer column, however, and there is a lot of bitter feeling in the attorney general's campaign against the former secretary. A few months ago their relations were .guite friendly. , At this writing, the McAdoo wagon certainly v look^ like the one carrying the band./ It is picking np T>a? sengers on that appearance. 11 it * should turn out not to have the music on it after all. then numbers of thick and thin administration supporters who think they know a hawk from a handsaw will have been grievously j r.fooled. So will the Hon. Henry Cabot: Lodge, who predicted in the con-j versation with a Democratic ac- i quamtance at Chicago,'1 that the' Democratic ticket7 would be McAdoo* and Cox. And just now the anti~* ' ' " " _c i: T4 v McAdoo neia is ngacrag ior umc. n. \ wants uninstructed delegates' to go slowly-about making up their minds decisively as to what they are going to do. , In the meanwhile the fight over the platform may give some new turns to the kaleidoscope of the various candidates. Bryan is busy making hurdlfes and diggi^pits for all of those who seem f . to have a real chance in the rac-3 i and he may manage to trip somebody ; up- j By the way, the socalled heckling of Chairman Cummings fcy Irish "militants" during the keynote speech was a very .feeble affair, which the speakers handled witn ease witnout committing himself to anything except that the best hope of Ireland is in the league of nations. That of course does not satisfy the Irish militants and rather irritates them but there is no chance that the platform can satisfy the militants in ahy case. There will doubtless be a livelier i encounter on this subject as the platform is reported. , What to put in th? platforrti about liquor remains when all is said, the million over which the greatest dis play of fireworks is likely. The concrete results in this particular as V well as in the particulars of Irish freedom, may be about the same, that is, very little except some diplomatically chosen words whose exaet meaning is a matter of conjecture, i mmm SIX THOUSAND COAL MINERS CALLED OVT ' Department of Labor Falls Down in Effort to Hold Up dtufta Catt.

CONVENTION APPROVES REFUSING SEAT TO REED Palmer Delegates From Georgia Win Places by "Unanimous Vote" ot Ureat Uathenng. San ^Francisco, June 29.?In its second days' session the Democratic j national convention perfected :its organization and got ready for business. It will assemble again tomorrow morning at 11 o clock with the plans laid for beginning the nomi-J nating speeches for candidates. The convention affirmed the action; of the ci^dentials committee in* denying 3 seat to Senator Reed of! Missouri and in seating the Palmer delegates from Georgia in the con-i test of the Smith-Watson faction. f Then it affirmed the plan to hear; nominating speeches delivered while, the platform committee is working on the party declaration of prinVinf fViot Kollftfirto VUb y&W fc/M** v K***^ j for a nominee can not begin until' after the platform has been presented and adopted. The convention, after some delay; because of a misunderstanding ofj terms finally adopted the national< rpmmittee's resolution to double the membership of the committee and! give the additional places 'to women, I one from each state. > The resolu tion had gotten Into the tortuous ways of parliamentary practice which was sending it back to a committee. when National Chairman Cummings saved it by an explanation of its, terms.- ^ 1 SfC a MMfliPMIk ! ; I I" tl ^1 i JM.JM 1 ] fAl J limit] miM i nni^HBIXTLi iJlftd'Am mgBMJ'iwm ' THniwiTrrnirCk ' : - I NOTICE OF ELECTION !
