McAdoo is Strongest Governor Cooper Thinks He Will Be Party's Nominee
San Francisco, July 1.—"In my opinion," said Gov. R. A. Cooper, chairman of the South Carolina delegation today, "McAdoo is unquestionably the strongest candidate before the convention and the indications are that he will be nominated on the fourth or fifth ballot."
Former Gov. R. I. Manning, one of the State's delegates at large, remarked: "It looks like McAdoo. If McAdoo does not win I think John W. Davis will be the strongest candidate and I believe the South Carolina delegation will vote for him as second choice."
In the big McAdoo demonstration at the convention the South Carolina standard was carried at the head of the procession by Miss Clara Yarborough of Columbia, one of Governor Cooper's stenographers, and then by Congressman Richard S. Whaley. Later the standard was taken up on the speakers' stand by Miss Yarborough and Delegate W. W. Johnson of Union.
