4 THE BEE? OMAHA. FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1920. A N Tl - WILSON FACTIONS LINE UP FORJMTTLE Mass Forces for Drive Against McAdoo Former Cabinet Member Gaining in Strength. rnnllmifrt From Vagr On. candidates until the resolutions com mittee should be ready to submit the platform. This move was welcomed by the McAdoo leaders, in some quarters it heins; asserted that they had an un derstanding with Mar' h, who is looking forward to the selection of Secretary of Agriculture Vereditth. an Iowa man. for candidate for vice president in the event cf the nomi nation of McAdoo or some other easterner. Marsh denied hat there was any understanding' with the McAdoo forces, asserting that he was mot cly endeavoring to save time by balloting while the conven tion was awaiting the platform. At any rate the balloting motion was repugnant to the anti-McAdoo leaders, who were playing for suf ficient delay to permit them to solidify their lines and pick a can didate. Kd Moore of Ohii. the Cox lc;-der, rushed over to Mr-ish and entnestly begged hint to withdraw the motion. He finally louseuted Fear Administration In and about the conference of of the antiadministration men, which extended through la.it night and throughout the various coi.fabs today, it was aonarent that the ef forts to consolidate on an' oppo sition candidate were beii'.t; ham pered by fear of antagonizing the administration which is in control of the convention. For example. Rrennan. Murphy, Nugent and Lynch had counted on the assistance of Tom Taggart of Indiana to forward their plans to halt McAdoo. He was invited to the midnight conference. He did not attend, but an emissary was sent. Mr. Taggart proved evasive. He wanted to know whether the strategists assembled in the l?ren "an conference would back Vice President Marsha!!. He was told that Marshall would be "given con sideration." That assurance was not satisfactory to Taggart who confided his deep regrets to the emissary and went to bed. The conference finally broke up without tangible result, accompan ied by mutterings of indienation at the attitude of Taggart. It was ex plained that Taggart is a candidate for United States senator from In diana this year and he could not afford to incur the displeasure of the administration The conference was clearly an antiadministration fratherinsr and anv candidate it agreed upon would be an antiad- j ministration candidate. He telt lie could not afford to be identified with the move. Taggart Not Sure. Moreover, Taggart. who has the reputation of being able to sight an approaching band wagon farther than any political leader on the scene, is far from convinced that the nomination of McAdoo can be prevented. He is inclined to believe that so leng as the White House continues tolerant if not favorable to the Mc Adoo candidacy, McAdoo will be named on an early ballot. The Palmer contingent also re fused to participate in the conference of the Cox and anti-administration men. 'Former Congressman Carlin .of Virginia, manager of the campaign for the attorney general, was invited. When he learned that it was pro posed to sign up the participants to iatst ditch opposition to McAdoo he bucked. He wanted McAdoo beaten, else the attorney general would have no chance of being nominated, but he was unwilling to antagonize the McAdoo folks by taking the oath of allegiance to a coalition designed to eliminate the former secretary of the treasury. The attitude of Carlin further ("frcngthened the impression that Palmer's chief hope is that the ad ministration supporters of McAdoo will turn to the attorney general in the event of the defeat of their first choice. Conversely, it lent color to the belief that Palmer will deliver such strength as he controls to Mc Adoo if convinced that he himself is cut of the reckoning.

The caucus in the afternoon, which followed another held at 10 a. m., adjourned to meet again at 7 p. m. to hear reports from the committees which got busy with their work as soon as the recess was taken. Motion Defeated. Efforts to pledge all delegates friendly to the Irish cause to vote against any candidate that would fail to espouse their cause were de feated by Thomas J. Spellacy of Connecticut, an assistant United States attorney general, who is also chairman of the convention rules " committee. Spellacy told the meeting that the law forbade a conspiracy to op pose any candidate and that because of his official position he could not enter into any such an agreement He demanded that a motion he had made, authorizing the naming of the committee to interview presidential candidates, be changed to omit any pledge on the part of friendly dele gates to combine against a candi date that would not pledge support to the Irish plank as demanded by the meeting. ' Chairman Fitzgerald, who had al tered the Spellacy motion without the authority of the maker, volun tarily withdrew his addition, though Cries of "We've had enough of the attorney's office," and similar state ments filled the room.

By DOROTHY DIX. San Francisco, July 1. Yester day as 1 sat in the democratic convention 1 wondered what a man from Mars would say if he were suddenly dropped down be side me and told that was a conven tion assembled by the people of a great country to select a man to rule over them a man who would have, if elected, the greatest power wielded by any human being on earth. The man from Mars would have beheld a scene that has no counter part outside of Bedlam. He would have seen thousands of men and women who had every appearance of having gone violently insane. He wouid have seen dozens of people dancing up and down on chairs, shrieking at the top of their voices, their faces contorted with frenzy. He would have seen middle-aged men tossing their hats in the air and making frantic and grotesque motions with their arms. Red-Headed Man Has Fit. He would have seen a red-headed man standing on a table, apparently in the throes of an epileptic fit. He would have seen a well dressed woman riding around the room on the shoulders of a man who did prancing little steps jazz steps as he bore her about. He would have seen a fat man in a green coat rid ing on the neck of another man and pounding his patient Meed with a red banner, and he would have seen scores of men with straw hats on their heads with gay bands on them marching round and round, their hands on each others' shoulders and megaphones at their mouths through which they shouted undecipherable things as a herd of men and women milled about them. And the man from Mars would have found him self in such an uproar of noise is would have made a boiler factory seem a still and quiet place. Make Hideous Sounds. He would have heard bands play ing at their loudest, thousands of voices singing over and over again a single retrain from a song, men twirling rattlers and blowing whistles and beating on tin dish pans, and uttering cat calls and making every other hideous sound, You will never enjoy that distinc tive corn flavor until you have tasted JERSEY Corn Flakes.

And the man from Mars would have seen the uproar continue for an hour, until everybody taking part in it was physically exhausted and without so much as a rag of a vocal cord left and I think that if the .-hock of amazement and wonder that such a thing hadn't killed the man from Mars that he would go back home and recommend to his country a hereditary monarchy on the ground of peace and order. Neither Dignity Nor Solemnity. But if there is neither dignity, nor proper solemnity or even common sense in the way in which we nomi nate a man for president there is in disputably lots of fun and pep to it. It's a great political bat on which people go every four years and they indulged in the orgy with all the more abandon because they know that they commit themselves to noth ing definite in their frenzy. Be fore they really cast their vote for the man they want for president they will take counsel of the cold, gray dawn of the morning after, which is a bit of American psychology the roan from Mars could never under stand; neither do we understand it, we merely know it is so.

CONSIDER CLARK AS OPPONENT TO DEFEATJTADOO Old Line Democrats Plan Bit ter FightHope to En list the Support of Bryan. San Francisco, July 1. Seeming ly in agreement that William G. McAdoo has the inside track on the democratic presidential nomination bat night attempts were being made within the inner circle of the old line democratic party leaders to pre vent his'selectiou by the convention. The plan includes prominent con sideration of Champ Clark, former speaker of the house .of representa tives, as a candidate. It was understood efforts were be ing made to get in touch with Mr. Clark to learn if he would accept the nomination if tendered and that among those whom the combination hopes to enlist in its support is V. J. Bryan, who encompassed the de feat of Clark at Baltimore in 1912, after a majority had voted for him ?nd forced the nomination of Wood iow Wilson. Bryan's acknowledged veto power over any candidate through the op eration of the rule which requires two-thirds of the delegates for a nomination made 1ms support to the plan a factor sought by its man agers. Conferences among the old leaders were going on actively im mediately after yesterday's session of the convention and they made it plain in their private expressions that they were going to any pos sible lengths to beat McAdoo. Owe Clark Nomination. Those forwarding the plan were using as one of their arguments for Clark as the strongest man to put up against McAdoo that the party really owed a nomination to the former speaker in payment for its action in Baltimore when it deprived him of the prize after repeatedly having given him a majority some thing which had never been done before in the history of the party. Opponents to McAdoo went into action without delay after the howl ing demonstration given him by the convention today when present ed, against his will as his cham pions say, and with the argument that he could be "drafted for the service of the nation." The fur ther statement to the convention that McAdoo assuredly would ac cept the nomination if it came to him provided a further shock to the old line party leaders. To each other they professed im perative need for prompt and force ful action if his nomination were to be prevented. The first concern of those op posed to (McAdoo was to hold the Palmer and Cox lines long enough to find a candidate to whom they could swing a two-thirds vote, be fore there were any of the threat ened defections to McAdoo which it was feared would start him on a wave toward the nomination.

By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD. (Written KxpreNHly for the Interntittonal pon!ent. Exposition Auditorium, San Fran cisco, July 1. The women here have made greater inroads into the affairs of the democratic party than ! they made at Chicago into the af fairs of the republican party. I write these words just after I have climbed back into the press stand on the convention door. I have been in the heart of the Mis souri fight following the presenta tion of McAdoo's name to the con vention by Mr. Barris Jenkins of Kansas City, where women pushed and scratched and used their fists and where men did likewise. Mv hair is mussed. I have in my rough wooden writing desk, before me a piece of the torn pasteboard sign of the Missouri delegation over which the men and women fought. It is a souvenir of the battle. I have Iscen a lot of war during the past 10 ('.ays. lhis was as not a scrap as I want to see. As I plunged heroically into the melee to discover, like a good young reporter, who was in the battle and what tactics were being followed, I discovered that men a-id women were in the contest. The horrible thought came over me: "Good Lord, has the day of a sex-to-sex fight in politics dawned so soon. All Camps Disappear. It seemed to me for a moment as after all the various camps in the convention has disappeared, as if the Falmer men, the Cox men, the McAdoo men and the others, had dropped their enmities and had joined under the banner of man to fight woman. If this thing went on like this for a few moments more we soon might have the convention turned into a sex war. Great crowds were trying to reach the scene of the fight. The great organ was bel lowing out the song "Ohio, Ohio," three bands were playing. Men and women were shouting and pushing and marching. Those who weren't nVarching were on chairs looking at the pandemoni um or engaging in it. Would all this political fight suddenly be turned into a sex battle to be fought out under the blinding glare of the movie searchlight? A thrill of joy went over me when I saw that both men and women The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. of Akron, Ohio $20,000,000 Par Value 7 Cumulative Preferred Stock Par Value $100 Stock exempt from the General Property Tax under the Laws of Ohio Dividends exempt from the Normal Federal Income Tax CAPITALIZATION Reflecting capitalization of a portion of the surplus on recent declaration of stock dividend of 150, but without giving effect to present financing Aatboriud Outtlinding Seven Per Cent Cumulative Preferred Stock (this issue) . $100,000,000 $46,844,100 Common Stock 100,000,000 51,890,000 NO BONDS A letter from Mr. F. A. Seiberling, President, is summarized as follows: ASSETS AND BUSINESS: The total net assets of the company from the balance sheet as of April 30, 1920,amounted to more than $115,000,000. The Good Will, Patents, Trade Rights and Trade-names are capi talized at $1.00 although the Management believe that this is the most valuable asset of the Company. In addition to having a sound value of $122 back of each share of common stock, purchasers will have also their pro rata share of the Company's Good Will. Business for the six months to May!, 1920, exceeded that of the preceding fiscal year for the same period by 59.3. An estimate based on si months' operation indicates net earnings for fiscal year ending Oct. 30, 1920, approximating $30,000,000. Total busi ness for this year will approximate $225,000,000 as compared with $168,000,000 in the preceding fiscal year. PREFERRED RESTRICTIONS: The Preferred Stock is safeguarded by restrictions which include pro visions for the maintenance of assets, for the annual retirement of a portion of the issue and against the creation of a mortgage or lien on the assets. RECORD OF COMMON STOCK: Earnings for past twelve years applicable to common stock after payment of preferred dividends have exceeded an average of 54 per annum on common stock outstanding. Since 1908 cash dividends of 12 have been paid each year on the common stock and in addition stock dividends have been paid as follows: 1908, 100; 1909, 100; 1911, 106; 1913, 20; 1915, 100; 1920, 150.

Before I could get to the front line trenches I saw that the women, on both si !es, were being elbowed out of the battle by their men folks. They were pushed b;.ck behind the lines, as it were. The men got their hands on the sti.ndard and the women couldn't keep their clutch on it. Cradually the women fell off to one side, but they did not stop fighting. They continued the fight between them selves. I got the" names of the generals, the captains, the tacticians and the privates and the privateses, and here I am back safe in the press stand. But I have seen a bagger thing than a fight in a convention. I "iave just seen women go the limit in politics. At last I know, amidst these braying sounds and this tumult, that women have declared themselves in on the democratic party to a finish. And tin- democratic party, unlike the re publican party at Chicago, has been forced to take them in. Oh, but the women at Chicago were ladies. The republican leaders wanted them to be ladies. They did i:ct want them to be rough-and-tumble politicians like the men. To keep tiitm ladies was to keep them harm less. Imagine the republican con vention having a floor fifht in which women engaged! I can see plainly now, fresh from this battle with the tumult still under way, that the other sex in the republican convention were ladies, while the same sex in this convention are women. I can look back to early June and still sec these silken persons in the Chicago hotels, in the various presi dential headquarters, in the swagger dining rooms, at breakfast, teas and dinners. In Chicago, :t seems to me as I look back at it, that the political ladies spent most of the time "wish ing" that this or that thirg would happen "I do so wish that Wood could be nominated, don't you?" would be the grist of their conversation or electioneering at a rose room rally. But here in San Francisco well, the woman politician here that doesn't go further in getting what she wants than mere wishing is con sidered by her sisters a "Molly coddle." Molly coddle" among these political women is a, fighting word.

They are gaz ing, entranced, at the demonstration. I see women who are dressed in common fashion, who have tired laces and who do not give a darn for hollow honors. They have come here to San Francisco to do sonic- ! thing more than wish. I I see women marching among the men, their faces ablaze. They are not job seekers, embryo postmast ers, or custom collectors. They do ! not pose to make their living from government positions. It will be all the same to them," as Homer Cummings says, in their pocket book, whether they win or lose. Ideals and clean enthusiasm move them and it's mighty good to look at them, when you know of the schemes for betterment and prefer ment in the minds of hundreds of these men delegates. In San Francisco the women have forced the democrats to put them on the national committee. In Chicago it was decided that the place of women on the national committee should be practically honorary. In Chicago the women hung around the edges and wished: in San Fran ADVERTISEMENT Easiest Way to Remove Ugly Hairy Growths (Beauty Culture) Here is a method for removing hair from arms, neck or face that is unfailing and is quite inexpen sive: Mix a thick paste with some powdered delatone and water and spread on hairy surface.

Males Have Surrendered. f The mal( Ipartrrs nf ih HiMlin- cratic party have surrendered. They have been forced to take in women as their equals. Old Joe Shannon of Kansas City, Mo., is standing down on the floor now with his arms twined around the wrecked Missouri standard. He's a battle-scarred politician; what he doesn't know about politics isn't. He has been in its rough and tumble many a time before. But beside him are women, helping to protect the standard. It just happens that thcy chose to be on his side; if they ' didn't, they would just as leave take that pole away from him and hit him down on the floor with a mighty rush as look at him. And Joe knows it, this blessed ntinute. Dominated by Women. The convention is not over yet. But the last word I'll have to say about it, the biggest word, the out standing fact, the greatest piece of news, more important than the news of who was nominated or what planks went into the platform, is this: i have written it once, but 1 in going to put it down ance more: It will be dangerous for men to be in politics in the democratic party I ana perhaps in the republican party ! as well by the time the 1924 conven tions roll around. Woman's entrance into politics this year is not a side issue. It is the biggest tact of the year. It looks to me now, hot from this fight, like a bigger fact even than who is elected in November.
