COMBINATION IS FORMED AGAINST MGJ’ADOO Indiana, New York and Illinois Lead Fight in New York, By LOWELL, MELLETT Times Staff Correspondent. • NEW YORK, June 21. —The outstanding development of the preconvention strategy is the formation of an alliance of all anti-Mc-Adoo forces. Thus the field is united against McAdoo in everything he may want to do by way of preliminary skirmishing. The big units of the combine are the boss controlled States of Illinois. Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York. Ohio is brought into the combine by making Ed Moore of Youngstown the commander of the allied anti-McAdoo forces. The combine goes only so far as to be antiMcAdoo and leaves New York free to push its A! Smith boom, Indiana with its Ralston boom and Ohio with its Cox movement. Program Constructive The McAdoo forces are closely organized and have a really constructive* program. They are taking the offensive on revision of rules ifid are prepared to offer the cona genuinely progressive platform, which contains practically all of the planks urged by Senator La Follette in Cleveland. The McAdoo clan claims a clear majority of the delegates and its leaders are going ahead on the basis that they can organize the convention. If they can, a fight to abrogate the two-thirds rule would seem logical to expect. Some Instructed However, some of the McAdoo delegates are for him only because they were so instructed by their States, and it is not ertain that they would help him in any oollatteral fights or skirmishes to liberalize the rules or to force a progressive platform. New York City itself is hostile to McAdoo. Every newspaper in town is against him. The World, the leading Democratic daily, is bitterly fighting him. Making what capital is possible out of this opposition, the McAdoo people are importing thousands of copies of a friendly newspaper published in Newark, X, J., and are counting on the hostility of New York and its newspapers to demonstrate to doubting delegates that McAdoo alone is a progressive and that invisible government is solid in its opposition to him.

”oFFRENCH ILLS’ (Continued From Page 1) new creation in a treaty which was to be signed, amongst others, by M. Poincare's chief minister. This spectacle was too much for the equanimity of M. Poincare. Whilst a rival president was making history and re-making continents, the French President had to confine himself to writing letters to M. Clemenceau for perusal by the latter's biographer. The League of Nations did not gl”e mfich concern to M. Poincare and he was not very disturbed about what happened to the cannibals of the Solomon Islands or even to the pigmies of the Cameroons. He was not particularly agitated about the Danube or the Vistula, byt the Rhine was his river. President Wilson was interfering with his riparian rights. Back to Boyhood From his home in Lorraine in the days of his youth, he had seen Bismarck carrying the Rhine away bodily to the fatherland and he. Raymond Poincare, grown up. meant to bring it back, and here his Rhine was being ordered about by this meddlesome American, who was, after all, only a president like himself. with a four-year term at that whereas he had seven. The bears of the Elysean cage rattled with his furious efforts to break out and enter an effective protest against such infamy. He jabbed at the locks with his faithful pen but all in vain, for the tiger was outside keeping watch. Feeing that he could not break loose, he constantly invited that formidable animal to interviews and consultations inside the enclosure. The tig;*r went, with ii!-con-i-ealed weariness but constant weariness and. when he left, carefully locked the iron doors behind him. and until M. Poin<are fin.llv quitted the Klysee he was a prisoner of the constitution. But President Wilson’s example of apparently unfettered authority had n-ade its impression on aspirants to the presidential succession in France. M. Clemenceau was for some weeks the favorite for the vacant throne He was not an eager candidate for the positior he was not a candidate at all. Thrust Fpon Him The honor was being thrust upon h::o by hands which conspired, later on. to snatch it away from him. It is one of the most unpleasant episodes in French history. But there is no doubt that, had he been chosen. France would have had to put up with a president who would not have been content to play the part of a “roi fauneant.” He meant to be the real head of the republic so -long as he filled that office. M. Clemenceau would, for a year or two. have been the real master of France, but as the peril receded and gratitude for his services grew fainter, the French Parliament would have gradually recovered its independence. M. Clemenceau has a deep fund of common sense and he is too wise a man to precipitate a crisis through vain stubbornness. In the end. constitutionalism would have won, but it would have been constitutionalism tempered by the influence of a strong personality. Not Anxious French politicians—especially the incipient and prospective ministers —were not anxious to try the experiment. Memories of MacMahon and other things came to their aid and they knew and feared their Clemenceau. so M. Deschanel was substituted for M. Clemenceau. It was not merely a, change in personality; it was a complete change in purpose. It means that parliamentary France did not want a ruler. The Wilson regime did no' appeal to Its instincts and it an agonised all its prejudices. M. Desch’nel was the farthest extreme they could reach from that idea, so they deliberately picked him and an audible sigh of relief swept

through the lobbies of Luxemburg and the Palais Bourbon. The menace of presidential autocracy was over for the next seven years and the men who had pictured their ministerial future under M. Clemenceau as French Lansings unj der the Wilson harrow once more i breathed the delights of ambitious ! prospect. Then Fate, which rejoices i now and again in adding fantastic j trouble by way of variety to the real trouble it has brewed, hurled M. Deschanel from his eminence in circumstances of freakish tragedy. Another Problem Once more France was faced with the problem, not merely of who should be president, but of what powers the presidential sceptre should henceforth wield. M. Millerand was a reluctant recipient of the honor that the French Parliament so unanimously pressed upon his acceptance. But he made it qui'e 1 clear that, if he accepted, he was not prepared to be a Deschanel or yet a fretful and futile Poincare. The contrast between the relative positions of M Poincare and Prosi- | dent Wilson had sunk deeply into his memory, and he vowed he would not tolerate the convulsive impotency of the Poincare rule. His speeches at Evreux ind elsewhere gave vocal expression to his determination to become a real effective president. Here he made a mistake from lack of self-knowledge. He saw hiniseif fretting and fuming lik® his predecessor because his ministers were carrying out their own ideas and ignoring his advice and recommendation. But one intelligent glance at the looking-glass would ' have convinced him tha* his tem perument is essentially different from that of M. Poirjcare. A Kindly Soul M. Millerand’s facial expression ! gives the impression to dour calm. He has an appearance of stubborn 1 taciturnity and no doubt he has obstinate impulses. This physiognomy, ; .is ali his friends know, encases a genial and kindly soul. At table, he i- silent. If President Coolidge and ho ever meet at a banquet, the master of ceremonies, if he vUhe.i to make the fffaii a success, must arrange to wedge in between these two distinguished statesmen the joyous presence of Mr. Taft as an interpreter. But M. Milk-rand has none of the nervosity which characterises M. I Poincare. To occupy a throne’with * dignity, you must, at least lie able to sit down. M. Poincare was always jumping up. If I may use a farmyard smiled for so august an office. M. Milk-rand is naturally a good sitter. He would have filled the chair impressively and 1 feel certain that his experience and common sense would have carried much weigh* with his ministers. Unhappily for himself, the Wilson germ bad lodged 'n his blood. With the office, it became active; It developed into a high fever. At Evreux he wandered and his talk became still wilder as the general election approached Hence his pre mature demise as president. With his departure, France returns onco more to constitutionalism and the Dawes report.
