TWO BIQ QUESTION MARKS Attltuds of Wileon and MeAdeo a Puzzle—Platform Issuee Premise Fight—Side Parties Interesting —lrish Situation le Qravs— Francs and England to War on Turk. By E. F. CLIPSON. Political wiseacres are at this time as busy In naming the nominee of the Democratic convention at San Fran-, cistfo as they were a short time ago in making wrqng predictions sbout the Republican affair at Chicago. Indica tions are that moat of them are guess ing. In fact, It looks like a good old fashioned guessing contest If you are lucky you win the barrel of flour or the ladles' watch. Straws are ho guide to the direction of the political wind for they are pointing In all directions, especially straw ballots. Possibly President Wilson, Mr. Bryan or one of the other party powers knows who will be the standard bearer, but be Is not telling. The big Interrogation point which has been planted in. the pnbllc mind concerns chiefly William G. McAdoo and also President Wilson himself The former secretary had for some weeks been boomed so persistently that many political forecasters be lieved he was going to make a runa way race of It But Just at a critical time came his announcement that he was not seeking the nomlnstlon snd preferred that his name should not be placed before the convention. Ardent supporters point out thst he has not definitely refused the honor and are proceeding on the theory that he will accept If it comes to him unsolicited. Several state delegstions which have been for McAdoo announce their re fusal to take his declination ss unsl terable and their Intention of voting for him In the convention. President Wilson Is tbe grant enig ma Just aa he has been all through the months since his early Illness snd the ambiguous bulletins snd Inter views Issued by his physicians. The first Interpretation of Mr. McAdoo's voluntary withdrawal from the race waa that the Republican platform hav ing largely made Mr. Wilson the lssne in the campaign. It was fitting that the president should meet It by becoming the opposition csndldate. This view was cooalderably strengthened by sn Interview which the president gave to a representative of a prominent New York newspaper, in which Mr. Wilson discussed Issues but not candidate* and stated thst he sppesred to be the prindpsl issue. The Interviewer stress ed the point not of the presidents complete recovery, but of his im proved physical condition. Newspa pers throughout the country have been flooded with recent photographa of tbe president which indicate a fair degree of vigor. Sources close to the White House, notably Senator Glaas, scout tbe third term Idee, but the Inference gained in many quartan from the In terview, the photographa and a few minor straws, is that the president. If not sn active aspirant for the honor, proposes to be the power behind tbe office. Those upholding this view be- Ueve that Mr. McAdoo sought to elim inate himself In order to give his father-in-law a dear field. Others modify the view and incline to the belief that there la a divergence be tween the president and Mr. McAdoo 00 tbe League of Nations qneetlon. The fight In the resolutions com mittee will be on tbe qasatiae at en dorsing the administration's peace treaty and League of Nation* policy, on the liquor lssne tnd on Ireland. A large abare of opinion la to the' effect that the committee will back the ad mlnlatration In Ita league plan, pos sibly Insert a mild declaration for perasoel liberty without mentioning either light winee or beer, also a declaration, at sympathy for subject nations desiring independence, with out any specific mention of Ireland. In asmuch aa the Wilson league cove nant will be oppossd by the Bryan fee- Hon, the Democratic wiliri who voted for the Lodge reservations and by other anti-ad ministration elements; and -«s strong forces sre wotWatf for a modification of the Vlist sod pre hibition enforcement act, either at these questions is recsfdsd aa suffi cient to toree s fight on the floor at the convention, tt is not s domestic quesUon, and msy go through In sny manner In which the resolutions com mittee decides to trest It. Both Republican and Democratic candidates for the presidency will hsve the usual amount of company In the wsy of side parties. These sre very Interesting this year. Certain ele ments among the suffragists sre threatening an Independent party on account of failure of Democrats snd Republicans to force a sufficient num ber of states to sdopt the suffrage amendment Certain drys threaten a party because Republicans and Demo crats are too wet or neutral. The wets threaten a party because the other parties are too dry. Some negroes threaten a party of their own and propose to substitute William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, ss j their patron aalnt, Instead at Abraham Lincoln. Radicals, each one of whom Is a party to himself, sre going to try snd unite under the banner of the "Committer of 48" with much enthu siasm for Senator LaFollette of Wis consin for president; notwithstanding the fact that the senator In all his psst periods of dlsgruntlement over the actions of his party, has overcome his disappointment and remained "regular." Editor Hearst, who failed to dic tate the nominee of the Republican party and whoee counsels seem to hsve lost some of their weight In the Democratic party, Is trumpeting loud ly for the formation of a new party. Mayor Thompson, who wss a Repub lican until defeated for national com mitteeman and until the supreme court of his stste heaped an Indlplty upon him by knocking out a primary law under which his machine had been successful, Is said to be building a springboard to make some kind of s flop. Editor Alexander Moore of Pittsburgh, a rampant . Progressive, has come oat for Harding. Senator Polndexter, who was regsrded by many aa the only real "Bull Moose" In the senste, has snnounced his Inten tion to support the Republican ticket Neither the . Hsrdlng-Coolldge forces nor those who will nominate s candi date at flan Pranddeo. manifest much perturbation over, the various Inde pendent parties threatened. Their at titude seems to be serenely that of "the more, the merrier." The more consenrsttve branch of or gsalsed workmen, ss represented In the American federation of tabor, closed a two-weeks' annual convention at 'Montreal, Canada. Jnne 10. Sum uel Compete, the re-elected president of tbe organisation, succeeded after a stormy opposition from the friends of Ireland in securing sn Indorsement of the Lesgue of Nstlons without res ervations. The opposition was nuulnst the covenant hecsusc of the view thst It gusrantees the Integrity of the Brit ish empire. Labor's program as formulsted by the convention demends follows: Rstiflcstlon of tbe peace treaty. Government ownership with demo cratic operation of the railroads. Cfrb on profiteering and high cost of tiring with Jail sentences for prof iteers. R%bt to strike snd sbolltlon of com pulsory arbitration and anti-strike leg islation. Hands off In Mexico by the United States government. Indorsement of the Irish repnt'lc. Right of collect Ire hsrgslnlng. Advsnres In wages wherever neces sary to maintain the American stsnd ard of living. ' Shorter workday If necessary to pre- ( tent unemployment. These recommendations will tx launched against the Democratic con rentlen at Han Francisco, with a strong effort by President Oomperr and other leaders to ssenrs their la corporation Id the platform. The ex ecutive council of the federation also was taetractsd ts consider a plan for procuring control of a number of dally newapapera to represent the cause of labor.

GUMMINGS MAKES KEY-NOTE SPEECH THE LEAOUE OP NATIONS AND TREATY ARK DEPICTED AS TME DOMINANT ISSUES RASPS REPUBLICAN MAJORITY Charges "Old Guard" Sold the Honor of America For Privilege of Nom inating a Reactionary. San Francisco. —Making the peace treaty and the league of nation* the dominant laaue of the coming presi dential campaign. Homer Cummlnga. aa temporary chairman of the demo cratic national convention at the op ening session, delivered the keynote epeech. Cummlngs devoted half at his time to a discussion of the trMty and Its reception by the senate. Cum mlngs praised democratic achieve ments of the pMt eight years and ut tered ringing denunciation of the re publican party. Speaking of the lMgue of nations plank In the republican platform, Cummlngs said: "It praises without discrimination all the republican senators who par ticipated In Its defeat. Its words of benediction fall alike upon the Irrecon elieables, the Lodge reservaUonlsts, the mild reservationlsts and those who proposed a separate peace with Germany. • • • It is enough to know that the 'Old Ouard' sold the honor of Ataerfca for the privilege of nomi nating a reactionary for president." After naming the nations that have ratified the peace treaty, Cummlnga Mid: "What nation* rftand outside? Rev olutionary Mexico, Bolshevist Russia, unspeakable Turkey and the United States of America." He accused the republicans In tho senate of conspiracy to defeat the treaty becauae they were "moved by a strange and Inexplicable Jealousy of the president." Speaking of the sacrlflcea President Wilson made tor the treaty, he said: "Congress was in session for months while the president lay In the White House struggling with a terrifying Ill ness, and at times, close to the point of death. "The preafdent made every sacrifice for the cause of peace," Cummlngs de clared, "while at home there was widespread propaganda making It Im perative that he take up In his own country a struggle for the preserva tion of that which bad been won at In calculable cost. Following the su perhuman labors o (seven year* of unexampled service, thl* meant the wreck of hi* hMlth—and worse than physical *lckne*i, the ticks*** of hMrt which come* from the knowl edge that political adversaria* are ■avagely destroying • • • the hope of Mttled peace. This was the afflic tion—this the crucifixion." Cummlngs detailed the achievements of the nation during the world war. He gave all credit to American pa triotism and added: "But .aurely the time has ooma when, because of the calculated criti cism and the premeditated calum nles of theoppositlon we are entitled to call attention to the fact that all ef these things wore achieved under the leadership o( a great democrat and the great democratic administra tion. "We have no apologies to make, aot one," he aald. "We are proud of our groat navy; we are proud o( our splendid navy; wo are proud of the power ef our country and tho manner In wbici that power has been used. * ** And we are proud at the In spired and Incomparable leadership of Woodrow Wilson. Cummlngs said the republican plat form "seeks to same and besmirch this shining record o( tremendous achievements." He referred to th-» various congressional commltteM aa "smelling committee*." t "Over 80 Invettlgstlon* haw bee.i made by congrees and over ft,000,000 wasted," be said, "and the one result has been to prove that It was the cleanest war ever fought In the his tory of clvlilMtlon." "Despite all their Investlgstlons," he said, "not one single democratic of ficial has either been accuaed or even suspected. Cummlngs referred to tbosa who complsln at the grMt money coat of the war a* "pitifully cramped In eoul." Regarding preparedness re Mid that in a strict military Mnse a demo cracy Is never prepared for war but that "America was made ready In a way that was far more effective than by maintaining at enormous cost great armaments, which neither party Both Wet* and Dry* Launch Planka on Seae of Alcoholic Olffarencac San Franclaco.— Both wet* and dry* have launched their planka on thbe democratic aea* of alcoholic differ ence* with a atormy paaiage promiaad to th* final harbor of tba conrentloo ■•or.

CummlngH did not refer to th* liquor Iciue. He referred to the Irleh problem only Incidentally. During a dlscut •lon of the Republican platform, he Mid: **lt contains no message or hope (or Ireland.'* "The republican platform, reaction ary and provincial," he amid, "Is the very apjtheosis of political expedi ency. railed with premeditated sland er* and vague promisee. It will be •earched In vain for one constructive suggestion for the reformation of the conditions which It crltlclces and de plores. The oppressed peoples of the earth will look to It In vain. It con tains no message of hope tot Ireland; no word of mercy for Armenia; and It conceals a sword tor Mexico." The democratic party, he said, be fore the outbreak of the war, enacted "more effective, constructive and remedial legislation than the republi can party had enacted in a genera tion." The income tax, he said, relieved the law of the reproach of being un justly burdensome to the poor; a non partisan tariff commission, he "said, will provide scientific revision of the tariff hereafter. Pan-Amerlcanlsm was encouraged; Alaska was opened to commerce and development; dollar diplomacy was destroyed; a corrupt lobby driven from the national capltol; an effective seamen's act adopted; tin federal trade commission created; child labor legislation enacted; par cels post developed; a secretary of la bor Mated in the cabinet; eight hour laws adopted; labor was remov ed from the category of commodities by the Clayton smendment; corrupt practice act adopted and the federal reserve system established he said. "If the democratic party had accom plished nothing more than the pass age of the federal reserve act, It Would be entitled to the enduring gratitude of the nation," Cummlngs Mid. "Panics," he s aid, "are now but a memory. "Under the republican system there was an average of one bank failure every >1 days for a period of nearly 40 yesrs. After passage o the ederal re serve system there were In 1915 four bank,failures; In 1916 and 1917 three bank failures; In 1918 one bank fail ure, and In 1919 no bank failure at all." Passing to the record of tie repub lican congress, he said It had Ignored the president's recommendations for meuures relating to profiteering, atlon, "appropriate action relative to the returning soldiers," etc. He termed the session "barren of achieve ment, shameless In waste of time and money." Cumtnlngs launched Into a detailed defense of the treaty and the league of nations, lie said America Is In honor bound to ratify the treaty and cited events In chronological order to prove his point, "Thus, before we entered the war, we made the pledge, during the war we restated the pledge and when 'he armistice was signed all the nations, ourselvee Included, renewed the pledge; and It was upon the faith of theM promises that Germany laid down her arms," he Mid. He called the league of nations cove nant the Monroe Doctrine of the world and said Its purpose is "to give notice that It any nation raises lit bloody hand and seeks to cross tbo line into any other country the force" of ctvlllMtlon will be aroused to sup press the common enemy of peace." Such a covenant, be said, would have prevented the world war. He defended the league along muc): the Mine lines ss wore fo'iowed by President Wilson before his sickness. Ho attacked the republlcsn members of the senate foreign relations com mittee as "designing from tbo outset to mutilate the treaty," bocause I; wss "negotiated by a democratic fr?n --' Ident." He said Senator Lodfte bid refused to suggest amendment* ~.0 the treaty, but that President Wils . i liao seen to It that amendments offered by Taft, Root and Hughes bsd bvn in corporated. Regarding the senate forei«r. rela tion coinmltte, he said: "The foreign relations' committee, immediately following the last elec tion, was reorganized with a person nel consisting of the open foes of the treaty. Amongst the number w«« Hen ator Borah, who declared that he would not vote for a league of nation.' were the Savior of Mankind to advo cate It. Senator Johnson, Senato> Knox and Senator Moses, whose ha tred of the president amounts to an obsession, were also members and Senator Iodge was chairman.

Ann Franolsco, Juno ll.—from the shadow of tho Oolden Osts the basts of dsmocrscy sent a roaring trlbat* across tho country to President Wit | son. I The national convention flung aside ■ for the moment the business befors ' It, while delegates carried on a dem- I onstrstton that swept the great gath , erlng off Its feet. It was a halt hour 1 before the outburst evoked by a ' sudden display of the President's por i trait oould he stilled. Again and again as his name was mentioned the ! cheers broke out anew to culmlaate in the shout of approval that adopted and sent to the White House a strik ing testimonial of his party and pride in the pan who has led it through troublesome years. Arrangements for the first na tional political convention to be held In the far west had been well made. The great hall, its clean architectural lines almost unmarred by added dec orations, was ready, and through a docen wide entries there, thousands ponred in with little delay or conges tion. They found a wide octagon apace awaiting them, with a mas sive organ rearing its stockade of pipes above the platform and the other sides rising to a far line of seats under high windows framing squares of California's bluest skies. In the center of the hall where del egates sat railed within a wide square of seats, an Inner celling was suspend ed, colored In soft, eld' blue, that rested the eye and lent something of quiet dignity to the scene. Below a forest of standards bear ing the names of states end territo ries was the only reminder of national conventions of the past. Perched high beside the organ in a special gallery, a military band wblled away the time. Opening Time Approaohes. As the noon hour and the opening time approached, a color guard of ma rines appeared on the platform. A six-foot sergeant, with tbe gleaming folds of a regimental flag la his his hand made a vivid spot of color pa the platform. At his side stood the armed non-commissioned offleers of the eolor guard and with them two msrlne buglers. When Vice Chslrman Kremer, of the national committee, gave the sig nal, a bugler sounded "attention;" the sharp, staccato call rang out over the uproar of oonversaUon. The first notes of "The Star-Bpangled Banner" rang out from tbe band aad the or gan together, snd as delegates, alter nates. spectators and attendants ; stood In tribute, a monster flag drop ped from the celling to form a wall .of color behjnd the platform. It ob ecured tbe view of the bead aad or gan loft, but as It fed the boomlaf tones of the orgsn rose from behind it, Joining the majestic thuader la tbe national anthem. Then came the touch that set the convention off with a wild shout of exultation. The great flag waa gath ered slowly upwsrd In tbe slings and as it ross, It uncovered a flag draped and illumined portrait of Presldeat Wilson plsced against the high pipes of the orgsn. For a moment there was a brief pause. Then came tbe tumult A wild shout rang down from the floor. It waa caught up and echoed from side to side. Rising with hys terical force, the sound grew snd grew, a formless, toneless thing that had In It something thst stirred tbe blood and pulled at the emotions. Del egates leaped on their chairs, wsvlng snd shouting. Tbey stampeded Into the slsles, jostling and cheering In a packed mass before the platform. Over In the Virginia section a del egate ripped the staadard from the loop and charged toward tbe speaker's stand waving It high In the air. Other ststes followed. Some of them were slower to get In motion, but as tbfl shouting and tumult continued, stand srd after standard came up and the march around the bap began. In the New York section, Assistant Sec retary of the Navy Roosevelt seised the standard and rushed Into the crowded aisle, battling with others who sought with eager hands to op bold the sign.
