DEMOCRATS UP
IN AIR ON ALL OF
LARGER ISSUES
Chaos of Chicago Pre-Conven-tion
Days Descends On
Deleaates at Frisco s
r-.y ' Convention.
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS.
, Intcrnntkinal Nw Si'TTloe Staff
Correupvndmt.
San Francisco, Tune 23. A chick
en with its head cut off flopping
around in the back yard knows ex
actly where it is going compared to
the hosts of democracy gathering
here to select their candidate for
the presidency and build their plat
form.
W iui a two-thirds vote necessary
for a nomination, instead of only a
majority as with the republicans,
the chaos of Chicago pre-convention
days has descended upon San Fran
cisco, bag and baggage, leaving the
arriving delegates confused and con
founded. : William Jennings Bryan, it is
claimed by some, with his "dry"
backing, can prevent the nomination
of anybody who doesn't suit him.
It will take tut 365 votes a third,
plus one of the total of 1,092 dele
gates to do this.
Wets Control 365 Votes.
But, warn the friends of Gov, Ed
ward I. Edwards of New Jersey, do
not overlook the "wets;" They will
control at least 365 votes in the
convention and it is asserted and in
their turn, can prevent the nomina
tion of any candidate- unfavorable
to them.
Senator Robert ,L Owen of Okla
homa will form a coalition with WiU
liam Jennings Bryan and precipitate
a rough-and-tumble ; opposition the
moment the, cohorts of the adminis
tration insist -upon -an out and out
ratification of the league of nations
plank. And, with not a few dele
gates behind them, many believe this
combination will be able to rally
more than a third of . the delegates
ti their side, thus blocking the se
lection of a Wilsonian nominee.
Aside from the two-thirds rule,
now unusually bothersbme to the
democrats, the problem of a nomi
nee is worrying them. They are
every bit as hazy' as to their choice
of; a standard bearer as were the re
publicans in Chicago.
Many Candidates Appear.
Counting'William G. McAdoo and
President Wilson and no list of
democratic : presidential possibilities
is considered 1y the party men now
here to bo complete without the
names of both there are pretty
nearly a score of candidates in the
'open, or potential, already under
consideration.
Alphabetically, there are Bryan,1
Cox, Clark; Cummings, Davis, Ed
wards, Glass, Gerard, Hitchcock,
McAdoo, MarshaH, Meredith, Owen.
Falmer, Payne Simmons and Wil
son, to name, those most frequently
mentioned here. - j.
The McAdoo boom has refused to
stay dead. Its. corpse persists t in
corning back to life. Finished, dead
and buried though McAdoo himself
insists his boom must not be con
sidered, the managers of other can
didates now here drumming up sup
port for their men keep on talking
of, McAdoo. In, the same breath
they treat him as a dead one and yet
as one still to be watched.
McAdoo Out of Race.
"McAdoo,"' they say, "is entirely
.out of the race. Whatever support
he ever had is now gone, split up
airiong the other candidates. But if
McAdoo' name is presented to the
convention 1"
Then follows a long argument on
which McAdoo cannot win, proving
he is still very much feared by the
other aspirants.
ane general oeuei nere, iour aays
since the McAdoo-Shouse telegram,
is that McAdoo's name will be pre
sented to the democratic convention
and will be voted on.
A. . ....mi u. it... :
fl wui win iiayyzu iiicii, ujjiu-
ion is divided. ' '
Is Without Bosses.
Some declare that after. the first
ballot or two when McAdpo will re
ceive a complimentary and scatter
ing vote, his name will disappear.
Others say along about the eighth
ballot or so McAdoo will be put
across with a rush just as Senator
Harding was in Chicago. A clever
piece of political maneuvering that
is what the latter school calls
McAdoo's telegram refusing to con
sent to his being placed in nomina
tion. . Whichever is right the delegates
now arriving admit they are greatly
intrigued. In the confusion thus
created some profess to see an at
tempt of the party bosses to steam
roll the Convention. Others dis
credit this.
"Any attempt to control this con
vention," Senator Robert L. Owen,
himself a candidate, declared,
"would react. It woulcf prove a
boomerang. No such attempt will
be made'
Discharge Emergency Army
Officers on September 30
Washington, June 23. EmeVTency
officers who have not applied for
permanent appointments in the army
will be discharged September 30, ex
cept in special cases where authority

manent appointments will be re

Norwegian Lutheran church, and i3
52 years old, He has been a clergy,
man for 26 years. In connection

prohibition act it wai pointed out by
f iends of Kvale here today that he
had advocated absolute prohibition
for more than a score of years. He
became a minister in Wisconsin but
moved to Minnesota several years
ago. . - ,
Two years ago Congressman Vol
stead was opposed for renomination
by Dr.' Shipstead, now seeking
gubernatorial honors.
Lulu Scott Stands
Firm When Of ficers
Put Her on Grill
Severe cross-examination on the
part of police officials failed to break
down the-story of Miss Lula Scott,
21 years . old, 316 South Twenty-
sixth street,' who was injured when
a car in which she was riding with
an unidentified man plunged over a
40-foot embankment in Elmwood
park, Monday, morning.
Miss Scott was arrested upon her
release' from the St. Joseph hospi
tal yesterday and taken to police
headquarters to be questioned. De
tectives investigating the case say
that the girl has told stories that
vary in detail regarding her experi
ence. She insisted that she does not
know the identity of her compan
ion. The girl first said the man flirted
with her at Twenty-sixth and Far
nam streets. Later she said she met
him, before in Hansen's cafeteria,
where she was employed. Yester
day she told police that she met him
in front of the Federal bakery at
Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets,
where she had gone to get bread
for the cafeteria'. Police released
Miss Scott at the request of her
mother who came to Omaha to
take her daughter back to her home
in Loup City.
Senator Harding Real
Dark Horse Candidate
Smoot Tells Omahans
"The Chicago republican conven
tion was the only national conven
tion I ever attended where it was
not known in advance who the
nominee would be," asserted United
States Senator Reed- Smoot of Utah,
between trains at Union depot yes
terday morning.
The senator, wo was on his way
borne from Washington, spoke opti
mistically of the republican outlook
this year. , '
'This third party talk does not
have anything upon which to stand
and if there should be a third ticket
it will draw more from the demo
crats and that is very evident to any
one who will study the political
situation," the senator said.
He expressed confidence that
Senators Hiram Johnson and Borah
will line up for Harding and
Coolidge.
"As the campaign progresses the
people will be drawn to Harding be
cause he is a popular candidate,"
the senator added. The republican
convention did a wise thing1 when
it nominated Harding and Coolidge.
I know Senator Harding and I know
that he is the man who will be called
by the people to serve as their na
tional leader during the next four
years."

SUPREME COURT
MODIFIES ORDER
IN SKINNER CASE
,-,--.,. v
Right to Conduct Business of
Plant Is Granted After At
torney Tells of Alleged
Frameup.
Lincoln, June 23. (Special.)
William Richie, jr., attorney for
the Skinner people in the contro
versy over the troubles'of the Skin
ner Packing Co., appeared before
the supreme court today and secured
a modification of the former 6rders
of the court covering the right, of
the Skinners to handle the plant and
its business pending settlement of
the case.
In argument before, the court Mr,
Richie said that if given a chance he
would call as a witness a man who
would testify that there were cer
tain interests in the state which had
approached him and given him to
understand that there was going to
be an attempt to make trouble for
the Skinner company and wanted
him to get in on the ground floor.
Speaks of Frameup.
He further asserted that he had
another witness who would testify
that one of the managers of a big
packing plant in Chicago had told
him that political interests, iu Ne
braska were working to get control
of the plant and advised him to get
in and that still he had another wit
ness who would testify that the par
ties now trying to get hold of the
plant had said that they proposed
to put Howe back in his former
place.
At, this point Judge Letton, who
was presiding, suggested that this
was not the time to bring out these
statements and Mr. Richie conclud
ed his argument. .
Thr modification, of -the, former
otdcrs of the court permits the of
ficers to perform all necessary acts
p.nd attend to the sale of products
of the packing plant; completion of
all contracts for equipment to be
used in the plant; payment of all
.employes; audit of the books of the
company by Arthur Young & Co.,
public accountants; right to discuss
records ana employment ot an at
torney to represent the Skinners in
the meeting June 26, but denied the
request to refuse list of stockhold
ers or grant inspection ot stocK
holders' lists.'
No Watered Stock.
Mr. Richie also told the court
that he would be able to show that
there was not any watered stock
or promotion stock or any other
stock issued for which Value had
not been received and that disso
lution of the three Skinner compa
nies had been completed.
The court has set Tuesday, July 6
as the time for hearing the matter.
It is probable that the hearing on
present indications may coyer two
weeks or more, if some things de
velop which may be brought out
later. The cases of both the Skin
ner company and the Skinner Pack
ing company will be taken up at the
same time.
