A Religious Fight.
Dear Wheat Will Help.
Who Could Win.
By Arthur Brisbane
Copyright 1924. by Star Co.
IT'S pleasant to have a whole day
* with no session of the Demo-
cratic convention. But the day of
rest is a restless day for the can-
didates. They and their bnckers
will put in the usual eighteen hours
of talk straggles and deals.
Most of it leads nowhere and
those that think they are "running”
for the presidency are really going
around in a circle.
R/lEN with real power that use
presidents pull strings and get
what they want from one party or
the other are not running in ?ir-
eleo. They are arranging things so
that they have the right man in
Washington or at least a reason-
ably “right man” no matter which
party wins.
’T’HEY occasionally slip up—and
* occasionally a mnn approved
by thejp does not meet their expec-
tations. Ask George Harvey he
can give you details.
'T’HEY nre determined those high
class managers of the people's
affairs that they will not have Mc-
Adoo. They learned once for all
when he was running the treasury
and the railroads that he failed to
recognize their right to run the
country.
He seemed to have less -espcct
for one hundred million organized
(Liiars than for ten or twenty mil
lions of unorganized voters'. He let
rpilroad workers make jig wages
which of course came out cf rail-
road profits and worst of all those
wages had to be kept up after Mc-
Adoo left.
’T’HERE is not quite as much fi-
nancial worry about the Demo-
cratic nominee ns there was nt first.
Thanks to the bitter religious
fight which now becomes inevitably
the main lumoerntic issue. Demo-
cratic chances of victory have
dropped at least 50 per cent.
Bryan saw what was eoiuinx
when be begged the convention
“not to carry n religious fight into
every election district in the coun-
try.' But that is precisely what the
Democratic ; arty has done and it is
too late to back out.
Urpablienns are mueb cheered
bv the fighting among their dear
Demoeatic friends.
I DEMOCRATIC F I G H T ING
AND WHEAT PRICES STEAD
HA RISING—Such is the outlook
for a cheerful campaign ar the
R- peblicans see it now.
If the Democrats keep on fighting
nlxtut religious liberty ns they will
“in every election district.” and if
wiient goes close to $1.50. ns the
big Republicans intend it shall. Mr.
Coolidge may go fishing from the
Mayflower and enjoy himself free
Yom worry.
IE farmers have any wheat unsold
I from the last cron—they usual-
ly have none when the price goes
up—let them hang on to it. And
If they nre wise they will hold for
high prices the wheat soorf to be
Ibrashcd.
When the really big people want
wheat to go up. ns they do now.
It goes up. They have the i>owcr
to make it go. It is not like one
Individual professional wheat gamb-
ler. or little poo' trying to fight the
Wolves of the “short side.”
OTHER grains corn especially
nnd cotton nnd stocks will
travel upward with the wheat.
What Republican victory BIG
VICTORI demands is n prosperity
boom. You'll have it.
Readers may remember that this
writer when cotton was below 25.
announced that it would travel up
to 35. It did. moving stendily and
higher than 35. What the big fel-
lows want really happens.
THERE are grains of comfort for
all in the Saturday meeting of
the Mg convention. At least the
religious- fight was brought out into
the open thoroughly threshed out.
The 101 HI extra policemen were not
needed to prevent physical fighting.
But that as Mr. Bryan might say.
Was only a mizpah.” Absence of
hat age fighting was due to the fact
^knot one man made any open
of the klan. If that had

Fast as Favorite Sons
Decline to Retire.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK June 30.—Seven bal-
lots and no nominee—or even in?
dication of one. That was the rec-
ord of the ifrst six hours’ work today
in the Democratic national convention.
At the end 'of the sixth ballot enly
two nf the field of favorite sons had
been eliminated tbe remainder were
hanging on grimly waiting for a break
that was not in sight.
The leaders stood t McAdoo 443
1-10; S*mith 261 1-2.
In the interval betwen ths sixth
and seventh ballots Senator Harrison
of Mississipi read to the convention
a dispatch from Washington an-
nouncing the indictment of Harry F.
Sinclair. Albert B. Fall and E. L. Do-
heny and Doheny's son in connection
with the oil laud leasing s -andala.
The convention let out some whoopa
of approval for Senator Walsh the
prosecutor of the Senate committee I
who modestly withdrew from the plat-
form.
SEVENTH BAI.LOT.
The seventh ballot showed
Underwood 42 1-2; McAdon

Aside from a rumpus over Missouri’s
vote the balloting was devoid of rup-
lions.
DELEGATES IN BATTLB.
After challenges respecung the unit
. rule two Missouri delegates had a fist
fight but the state's 36 stayed solid for
McAdoo under the unit rule despite
charges from challengers that tbe ma-
jority there did not express the will
of the jieople of the state and that
money had been brought in for tho
McAdoo eamptiign.
It seemed obvious that the managers
of the leading favorite son candidates
were sitting tight waiting f or the
itectcd deadlock btw-eri Smith and
McAdoo to be unmistakably establish-
wl. Of course all the campaign man-
agers expresswl great satisfaction With
the voting and pointed out that it *4
going just sx predicted.
