Show I 'McADOO IN THE RACE. Once more the rank and file of the Democratic party is pleased Jwith the outlook. McAdoo will accept the nomination and McAdoo is the overwhelming choice of the workers of the party. Having positively declined to have his name considered, the former for-mer secretary of the treasury has reconsidered aud the announcement announce-ment is now made that he is not opposed to the presentation of his name. There has been much speculation as to why the distinguished gentleman became so modest in his ambitions, and one theory which was widely acccpt&l placed the cause at the door of the. president, .who, it was said, had a third-term desire, if lhat is correct, the president must have discovered a lack of support and, at the last moment, advised his son-in-law that the way .was open for him to -set in the ra'ce. McAdoo 's strength lies with the railroad workers and other inion men who look upon him as a staunch friend of labor. He, undoubtedly, un-doubtedly, is the strongest man the Democrats can nominate. |
