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

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.

Efforts to pledge all delegates

against any candidate that would
fail to espouse their cause were de
feated by Thomas J. Spellacy of
Connecticut, an assistant United

Spellacy told the meeting that
the law forbade a conspiracy to op

of his official position he could not

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

Convention Scene That Has
No Counterpart Outside of
Bedlam, Says Dorothy Dix
Well Dressed Woman Rides Around Hall on
Shoulders of a Man While People Dance Up and
Down on Chairs, Their Faces Distorted With
Frenzy, and Uproar Is Worse Than Noise of
Boiler Factory.
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,

natural and mechanical, that in
genuity can invent.
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.

Shepherd, Veteran of Many Stormy Sessions.
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

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

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.
POSITION OF COMPANY: (1) Producing approximately 20 of total automobile tire business of
country. (2) Producing largest single volume of pneumatic truck tires, also one of the largest outputs of solid
truck tires, both in extensive demand in industrial and agricultural fields. (3) Producing mechanical goods,
such as power transmission belts, also packing, hose and valves now in rapidly increasing demand in the
fields mentioned. (4) Producing Ne51in soles and Wingfoot rubber heels, widely distributed by the shoe trade.

were on each side. 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,

doesn't go further in getting what
she wants than mere wishing is con
sidered by her sisters a "Molly

political women is a, fighting word.
