Down amo among n tho the delegations the spontaneous desire for tor McAdoo is unmistakable and they thoy arc are prepared to male make a a. hard fight but the big bier question is how much stamina th these o delegates have for a n. prolonged d fight tight such as gave Wilson his triumph at Baltimore in 1912 Tent of Strength Sought Each of or the managers ers are trying to tomake tomake tomake make the other show the most strength on the first ballots Even tho Palmr forces are trying to hold back at first t tand and bring their greatest strength to bear on ballots Those These are arc also the

on the tho second day of or the tho convention that he was just as high In tho the estimation of the delegates tes as when ho he delivered his keynote speech His appearance on the floor was greeted with loud ap ap- ap When he recommended the sending of ot a n. telegram ram of ot congratulations congratulation's tion's Hons to tho the governor of ot Tennessee because the tho latter called a special se session session ses ses- sion slon of ot the legislature to ratify the woman suffrage amendment there was Instant approval But Dut the effectiveness of ot Cummings was apparent a second time when the convention had tabled a resolution enlarging the Democratic national committee to include one woman from each state Cummings In Is Convincing Evidently some of the old time politicians politicians poli poll did not want it done but Cum Cun- s with a brief and convincing statement told the convention that his sincerity on the woman suffrage Issue would be questioned If It it refus refused t tto to permit women to have a a. voice in the councils o of the party Tho The motion was passed with a a- genuine demonstration of ot approval and there the Democrats ll ve ha ve given Iven the the women something which the Republicans denied them at Chicago Every state will wUl have havo a woman on the Democratic committee not merely in an advisory capacity as heretofore but with equal voting power with the male members When the convention had ad adjourned for tor the tho da day and the delegates got back to their hotels they hand band bills reading as follows How H About Homer Cummings for tor President of ot the United States It adds Hi 11 LUM keynote knote speech has already won for him the presidency throughout through through- I out the tho land Today ho personifies the tho victory of ot democracy at the polls Give him the game Jame as ns well as the name Put aside petty prejudice and anti consider In terms of 01 party success and you ou will see that Homer Cummings

Delegate planT plan planTA t tA A great moment has produced a grea great man America needs Homer Cummings Cumming's for tor President Tho The posters wore were signed ned by San Francisco Democrats hut but the Connecticut Connecticut Connecticut Con Con- delegates who have Indorsed Cummings for tor President probably had something to do with It It The delegates are arc talking more about Cummings than any other dark horse though Vice Vice- President Marshall and Champ Clark are mentioned by the forces and some somo of 01 the tho conservative elements in tho party who ho are restless under Wilson leadership Tho The situation may well arise for tor Palme Palmer and McAdoo and Cox may be unable to get the necessary two- two thirds And the tho consideration of ot dark horses bring the tho Palmer and McAdoo men ml closer together for the nomination of a Wilson man That would make Homer Cummings logical His chances art aro much better than those of 01 Will VIII lIa Hays s 's at Chicago when the dark h horse talk began put But the tho prospects or of nominating a Do dark daric horse still arc are nebulous Encouraged b by Ruling The McAdoo supporters feel highly encouraged by

will try to hold his delegation loles-allon to together together to- to gether for tor Governor Smith on tho the the the- tory that a Do deadlock may yield tho nomination to th New York governor Ho lIo will hold that over the heads of ot recalcitrant delc delegates ates but the number r which probably will bo be given I en to McAdoo McAdoo McAdoo Mc Mc- Adoo In the New York delegation Is about
