McAdoo Gives Davis
His Cordial Support
(Sy Th. AiMClatrtf Pr#??)
New York, July 12. ? William Gibbs McAdoo in a
statement issued today said that he would give John VV.
Davis his cordial support and take part in the cam
paign.
"I am satisfied that Mr. Davis is in full accord with
the progressive program outlined in the Democratic
platform." said Mr. McAdoo.
"I am confident that as President he would faithful
ly execute the party's mandate."
Referring to " the criticsm from some quarters
against Davis because of his connection with certain
interests as lawyer, McAdoo said: "Mr. Davis' high
character, integrity, and services should satisfy every
apprehension of this sort."
By DAVID LAWRENCE
(Co?yripM. 1924, By Th? Advanct)
New York, July 11. ? Two outstanding personalities in the
democratic party were defeated ? they represented opposite con
ceptions of politics during the battle, and the contrast still re
mains in defeat.
Nothing perhaps has caused
as much talk since the conven-l
tion adjourned as the difference|
in the way Governor A1 Smith j
of Xew York accepted his loss1
of the nomination and the way
William Gibb McAdoo took to
heart the thwarting of his am
bitions.
With a sportsmanship typical of
his whole career, smlllnu, cherishing)
no grievance and harboring no|
grude, the governor of New York
pledged himself to "take off his coat |
and also vest" in working for the |
Davis and Bryan ticket.
William Glbbs McAdoo weighted
down by the keenest disappointment
a man can suffer in political life sent
simply a message of congratulations
to John W. Davis. No statement
pledging support was issued even
though close friends who conferred
with the former Secretary of the
Treasury urged him to do so. He
lias remained silent because he can
not say he Is glad of the result and
be honest with himself. He may an
nounce his Intention to support the
ticket after his return from Europe.;
For the moment the consciousness
of a battle lost that he thinks
should not have bt?en lost is too |
great to bring any expression.
For the McAdoo campaign was 111
fatfd almost from the start. It did j
not begin a few months ago. It he
can six years ago Just after the Arm-]
Istlce was signed and Mr. McAdoo
resigned as Secretary of the Treas
ury and Director General of ICail- '
roads. It was then that worshippers
of McAdoo began to talk of his avail- 1
ability for the Presidency. He hnd ?
favored railroad labor while in of- ,
flee. He had built up a personal fol-j
lowing among the large number of;
Federal employes who were under I
the Treasury Department with its j
immense bureaus, especially of Inter
nal revenue. . For leuvlng the cabi
net, Mr. McAdoo was attacked by!
his foes who said he did not wish to
be entangled In the political handi
caps of the last two years of til"
Wilson administration. Wh*?n he bp
came counsel for the movie people. '
< he was again assailed as trying to |
k keep In the limelight of publicity. |
He made his home in California for
he realised that he could rot #et the :
endorsement of the New York state !
Democracy as long as Tammany Ha'l
was powerful and It showed no signs
of decay under Charlie Murphy.
0 It was largely through the InAu-j
' ence of st rpng McAdoo men that the :
Democratic convention was brought (
to San Francisco in 1920. It seemed
ccrtaln that McAdoo would be r ran- '
dldate. Something Intervened that
has never been explained. McAdoo!
declined to be a candidate. His
friends Ignored his declination. They
said he was embarrassed because he
was a son-in-law of President Wilson :
and that the latter did not want his
former cabinet officer to make the ;
race. There have been well defined ;
reports that Mr. Wilson cherished |
th< Idea he might he restored In !
health and be given the nomination. I
Anyway, McAdoo was an outstand-|
Ing candidate. His supporters locked
horns with those of A. Mitchell
Palmer, whoae delegates finally J
broK?- to James M. Cox.
Hardly Had the campaign of IfrlO}
been completed when the at rugate.
Inside the Democratic National Com
mittee began. Friends of McAdoo j
asserted themselves. After a few
months of effort a compromise chair
man was named to head the Demo- ,
cratic National Committee ? Cordell
Hull, ? who has fulfilled expecta-'
tions tn keeping his hand's off the
pre-conventlon fight of 10 24.
Engaging Judge Hock well who
had been J. M. Cox's manager was
expected to line ui> the Cox follow-:
ers. Dan {el C. Roper of South Car
olina, intimate friends of McAdoo
and one of the ablest political gen
erals in America, was the logical
choice of the McAdoo men, but he
was disinclined to give up his law
practice. Then came some extensive
campaign work and It cannot b?
doubted that last January McAdoo
had the nomination won ? he had j
the delegates and a strong sentiment
behind him. The Teapot Dome
scandal turned the tide. Mr. Mc-j
Adoo's relations with E. I... Dohenyj
were legitimate professionally but
unwise politically. The former Sec
retary of the Treasury is a fighter.
He could not see why an unjust erl
ttclsm should lake 'him from the
race. He stuck to it. His followers
gave him a loyalty unparalleled in
American politics. I tut the oil con-|
troversy created division in the party
ranks and gave other candidates a
chance. It looked as if McAdoo was
doomed.
Then came the Georgia primaries
? ? another turning point. Senator
Underwood had come out against th?
Ku Klux Klan and was encountering
opposition in Southern states. Mc
Adoo did not seek Klan support but j
many Klansmen tacked themselves
on to his cart and gave him support.1
It starh-d the whole Klan war in the.
Northern states. Men like George j
Hrennan of Illinois and other fender#]
vowed they never would support Mc
Adoo. Mr. Itrennan said he had no!
personal prejudice but he simply J
could not expect to carry Cook I
County for the local ticket with a !
candidate suspected of accepting!
Klan support.
The management of the McAdoo i
campaign has been criticized. There i
are some McAdoo men assailing it I
now, pointing to mistakes and blun
ders. Hut broadly speaking It wan
efficient. It was effective. All the
management In the world, however,
could not get two-thirds of the del -
gates. The McAdoo chieftains had
hopes of a majority and thought
they saw an opportunity for two
thirds but they did not reckon on
the cohesion of the anti-MeAdoo
forces. Usually the favorite son del
egations dissolve and help tlx bad
ers. Thts fftrre tlrpy Were Ti7 Id to
gether by the promises of the Smith
group who could not themselves win
but who were determined to block
McAdoo.
There will always be discussion of
whether the two-thirds rule Is wise.
It is like the question of a filibuster
In Congress. When the end Justifies
the means these things are defend
ed. The prestige of the two-thirds
rule did not suffer on this occasion,
for a majority of the delegates wert
convinced that the one-third veto
power kept them from making an in
discreet nomination. As soon as the
two leaders were eliminated, it took
only four ballots for John W. Davit
to be nominated. He got a majority
In less than an hour's time The
band wajcon appeared and all clam
bered aboard.
At for the McAdoo following It
will go to Davis almost entirely.
There In a possibility that Daniel C.
Roper will be prominently associated

Democratic National Convention of
1924 comes to he written the part
played behind the scenes in the final
deliberations by former Governor
! Jaines Cox will form the moV.
; interesting and Important eliapter.
Governor Cox arrived in New York
at the psychological moment and in
hip suite of rooms on the twelfth
floor of the Waldorf were held a se
ries of conferences which concen
trated the thought of the distraught
leaders on one man as the outstand
ing figure In the Democracy today
Governor Cox arrived at the begin
I nlng of the third week of the Con*1
| ventlon when affairs seemed all but
hopeless for the party of which h<;
I regarded himself an the titular head
I until a new standard bearer coftld be
! named.
I The so-called leaders in the con
j vention were pulling first one wav
| and then the other. Every move
marie l?y one of them was suspectf d
[of a possfh|? course of net Ion which
|wn? regarded with aonplc inn. It was
feared there was some selfish mo
tive back of it. Then. loo. each
leader had a favorite dark hors.* o'
his own and felt that if there was to
be any ebony equine chosen his man
should unquestionably be the selec
tion.
When Governor Cox arrived ther
were signs that both McAdoo and
Governor Smith were becoming con
vinced at last that neither of them
had a possible chance for the nonn
nation. There aUo. were, algiis Umi
when the two leaders quit then,
would be another deadlock among
the warring factions.
Having withdrawn from the rac*?
himself, having only the good of the
party In mind. Governor Cox con
sented to come 1o New York. Il?
had received scores of telegram*
while he was In Ohio urging him to
lend his assistance to the drifting
Democracy. After his arrival here
he received literally thousands of
additional messages. Happily Gov-;
ernor ('ox found himself in a posi
tion to 'talk turkey" to all the lead
ers. He knew them nil. had been as
sociated with them In campaign and
conferences; he had no axes to
grind, no selfish Interests to serve.
Governor Cox did wot hesitate to
talk with George Brennan, of Illi
nois; with Joe Ouffey. of Pennsyl
vania; Tom Taggart of Indiana;
Norman Mack of New York; with the,
warring elements In his own hom?|
stnt<* delegation of Ohio.
^ Governor Cox knew the conven
tion watt looking to Rome sign from
this group. The un bossed delegate*
had been crying for a lender, for *?
Moseti to take them out of the wilder
ness of factional fighting and grow
ing indecision. I tut neither Tnggai??T
nor Brennan. nor Guffey apparently
had been able to deliver their del
egates to anybody. Once the Illi
nois delegates were split seven dif
ferent ways. This was on one of
the l^te ballots, too. These lendei <
promised Mr. Cox however, accord
ing to th" story generally In circula
tion today, that if the others couU1
agree on the proper man. they woiil I
see that at the proper time the fuli
delegation strength was pulled foe
hint.
There was a wide canvas* of -tin
field of available candidate*. Sena
tor Glass. Senator I'nderwood and
John W. Davis finally made up t la ^
field as the conference proceeded
Governor Cox let It be known that
lie thonuht Davis the most
able of the trio, the strongest cam
paigner and most likely to catch th>?
imagination of the people. Sena
tor Carter Glass had many friends
1n the conference. It was with
great reluctance that these friends
finally turned away from him. Hut
there was general agreement In the
end that Mr. Davis would be easiest
to natne.
This decision was reached along
about f? a. m.. last Tuesday morn
ing. Then came the waiting for the
trteritaM*" rM^rtse of the delegates
by Mr. McAdoo.
The conferees had made no effort
to Influence the Callfornlan one way
or the other. They simply took ti
for granted th?t eventually he must
ste-p aside. When he did so the end
was In sight. There was no wild
stampede for Davis on the first fol
towing hfltTot There was no forc
ing. no coercion, but the Davis
stream steadily swelled as the lead
fed In their strength.
In commentatioA upon the work
of Governor Cox. the New YorK
World editorially said:
"For the successful outcome o."
the convention a good part of the
credit Is due to Governor Cox. He
came on the scene when- the dead
lock seemed most hopeless and lead
ership was at a discount. He knew
what he wanted. He knew what
ne?tded to be done. He had the con
viction to Inalst. And In the out
come hit purpose was accomplished."

(friends she also added Mrs. William

"1 think New York was lovely ta

and I enjoyed It thoroughly. I'm

enough and being so constantly on

Asked how ski11 liked the choice

said: "Fine. Some one told Wil

men. and William Jennings said.
' Well, I'll have to talk to him about
