THE MORNING OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, JULY G, 1920 DEADLOCK CHAFES WEARY DELEGATES No Solution Unless One of "Big 3" Withdraws. DAVIS MOVEMENT BEGINS R E Clothing Sale Cox, Palmer Slip; Delegates Xow Wutelilng 'ortU Carolina and Daniels. t (Continued From First Page.) Cox would get it on the next ballot. The official band suddenly awakens and gives us the "Wild Irish Rose" and the great organ Joins in. Then a sudden stop and renewed quiet. Is it the lull before the storm? W ell, it is the lull but not the storm, only the desolation following last week's storm. Alabama creates a little diversion by giving nine for Underwood. Illi nois asks to be passed and so does Louisiana. Maybe a little blow after all. The regulation darkhorse, John V. Davis, picks up a vote' here and there. Davis Wakes Convention. Little Rhode Island switches three for Davis, and the convention pricks up its ears. Then Washington slips in half a vote for the ambassador. The Lardner delegate is trying a new joke. Now Illinois announces its be lated vote. Something going on there. Cox loses five and AIcAdoo picks up a few. Then Louisiana lets it be known that Davis propaganda has reached there, for he gets a few new votes. Oh, lord, here is that band playing "Smiles." There's not a smile in all the world. The McAdoo old guard dies, but it does not surrender. Vote the same on three successive ballots. But Cox is slipping. Palmer too. The long advertised Davis moment has begun. Having been begun it may soon be done. Colonel J. Haral Lewis, radiating perfumed wisdom, passes by and says Cox will reach his peak about noon and then Indiana will begin its great drive for Marshall. I never thought much of Lewis' prophecies, but now I know that they are as good as anybody else's, or any body's else if you prefer, which I do not. Another Joker Held Rendj. They have a live game cock which they are going to spring from the dark recesses of universal doubt just as noon as Cox shows gains. You know when that will be as well as I do. But I suspect that they will have to assign that expectant rooster to some other mission, preferably in tiie early morning. The Davis spurt gets a crimp when Rhode Island deserts him. They have a hard time getting the Davis idea in the head of anybody. Yet Davis was once a great name to conjure with in a democratic convention. The scarlet Cox band, with horns in hand, hasn't tooted a toot for two hours. What are they here for? There comes that irrepressible side kick of the Denver Post man to tell him what will happen on the next ballot. He has exhaled prophecy over the backs of the intervening and help less representotives of other papers and has not been right once. What could the press of the country do without the volunteer aid of these self-nominated sleuths who chanced to overhear Tom Taggart whisper to Charlie Murphy that they would put Cox over in the next ballot. lOyra Now on Daniels. This time lie says that a waiter told him that a marine told him that Josephus Daniels told Franklin Roose velt to tell the McAdoo delegates to watch North Carolina. It is no se cret in North Carolina that Josephus has been casting a flirtatious eye on the presidency. Let McAdoo also watch the guile less Josephus. The chair flourishes a $500 bill and says it was given to the democratic treasury by a Kentucky delegate. It takes no Sherlock Holmes to discover that Ed Moore lost that Cox bet, and paid it. Four delegates think the DaVis band wagon is really moving and get aboard. Wild applause. The Cox contingent comes to lite when Ohio again gives him a solid 48 and choruses "Cox, Cox, James M. Cox," for an entire ten seconds. A hopeful Mobile reporter from somewhere in the rear is passing around the word that Alabama will go to Davis next. An unnamed delegate conceives a preat idea and he says something about a suffering country and moves that the low man be dropped on suc cessive ballots. Out of order. An excited Alabama publisher shows up, trying to locate the corre spondent for his paper. A malicious storv had been told him that some over-generous California has given him a bottle of Scotch whisky, and he bad deserted his post and gone home. I'll do it for half a bottle whisky or buttermilk, though I have a. preference. Taexart Jnmpi to McAdoo. The newest prediction of the undis couraged soothsayers is that there will be a break for McAdoo on this ballot. Ho. hum! This convention doesn't Intend to nominate anything. It is simply tryingto beat everybody. What's this? Indiana gives 29 for McAdoo. Taggart has left the antl- McAdoo combination. When the dazed convention gets over its surprise, a McAdoo demon stration starts. Same old thing, screaming galleries, marching dele ruM nliiviner bands and so on ad infinitum. If they have booked Tag carl over, look out for New York Rut Tacrnart. a wise old bird, may be 6ending out a trial balloon for Mar shall. If Tammany falls In, however it is all over -with Cox, and all" on with McAdoo. It's all over withl'Cox an vwav. 1'nroar subsides after a few min- ules. New Jersey will tell the tale then New York. A wise guy Texas reporter has just shown up with i story that McAdoo has ordered hi name withdrawn. Kentucky asks to be passed. Trouble in that Cox ag gregation. The McAdoo telegram may i explain the Taggart move. r it may liOL. Free r Beer Dixpenned. It is better to believe nothing in a place where you have opportunity to believe anything. New Jersey and New York stay with Cox. The grand rush to McAdoo Is over, 'or perhaps It's, just beginning. Mike de Young of the Chronicle appears from the diric'ion of the refreshment stand with four bottles of near beer, which he generously distributes to report ers of his own paper. He did the same stunt Saturday, and. his report crs graciously commended him for It in the Chronicle. "Washington, heretofore divided, Harts anew the McAdoo ripple by going solidly for the son-in-law, but the McAdoo spurt fails to put him ahead of Cox. who, however, is being eteadlly whittled down. On the 30th ballot McAdoo passes Cox for the first time since the 12th fc allot and McAdoo people perk up D URING the past two months I have given the public a REAL CLOTHING SALE. I have made it possible for my customers and friends to purchase FINE-GRADE CLOTHING at reasonable prices. have sold thousands of suits, and my customers have saved many thousands of dollars.

EN SELLING Leading Clothier Morrison at Fourth. considerably. Senator Pat Harrison, who is a sort of floor manager for Cox. then renews the motion previ- usly made by the nameless delegate that the lowest candidate be dropped successive ballots and the dele gates get into a parliamentary wran gle with the chair over the question, which he finally attempts to solve by arbitrarily ordering a roll call. The Cox people make a futile stand for the Harrison motion, but they are getting a bad licking; Ohio, seeing the drift, asks to be passed until Penn- ylvania has voted, saying they will do whatever that Palmer state wants. Pennsylvania votes no. Ohio also votes no. Rather clever of Ohio, but Cox is gone. The Harrison coup made a funther mess of his fading chances. Even Mississippi deserts Harrison and goes no-unit rule. Harrison can not control this delegation now. Something is going to happen soon. The delegates are breaking under the train. They cannot stand it much longer. Another ballot now, the 31st. Kentucky and Georgia -want to pass, getting their stubborn heads together. Virginia Breaks to Palmer. Virginia, which had been held to gether for Glass through 30 ballots, breaks and gives nine for Palmer and scattering votes for other candidates. Georgia composes its row and decides stand by Palmer, -while McAdoo gains a tew in Kentucky. Cox is dying hard, or perhaps he Is only feigning death. The reportorial birds are saying now that Indiana will stay by Mc Adoo only a ballot or two longer and then go back to its first love, the gentleman from Ohio. McAdoo shows slight gain now on every ballot. It -will be well for Tag gart to leave htm while he is going already. But perhaps that is the very reason why Taggart will not stay put. You never can tell. The Georgia delegation, instructed f6r Palmer, is in an awful row and will soon break for McAdoo. Don't be lieve it until you see it. Now a mis guided delegate from Maryland pro poses a rese3s till 8 o'clock. Some body wants to frame something up. They'd better do it. But they won't. Voted down with great heartiness. Tflow these deadlockers do love one another! They don't propose to srive anybody a chance to adjourn to a back rcom and fix it all up. The Davis movement at last. Ten nessee and West Virginia stay vali antly by the ambassador, Bryan has the real idea as to a solution. He has been steadily voting nine Nebras ka delegates for Owen, who cannot be nominated. By keeping an im possible three before the convention it is logical to assume that the con vention will at last get around to the great possibility from Nebraska. Gains for McAdoo on the 33d bal lot. Cox has slowly declined since the 24th ballot. They should submit this thing to .h. great referee in the White House. You may wonder why nine hundred men and one hundred women more or less are so stubborn, but if you had a job under Palmer or had a friend wno had a job, or a Job under Dan iels. or a Job under McAdoo or his successor, or any other governmen official and if you expected further tenure as a result of the nomination of your favorite, and if you were a delegate here, wouldn't it give you a grand and glorious feeline to see. in fancy or otherwise, your candidate's bandwagon come sweeping over th hill? Woman Roan (or Bryan. A vociferous lady in a black ha and a white waist began to address the convention through a megaphone from the gallery in behalf of Bryan, She finally got on the nerves of the chairman and he told the police to take the megaphone away from her. That s no way to suppress a Bryan woman, fane sought to continue he speech anyway and the police put her out. Why should she want o stav nere.' x sure nave lost me taste fo this convention, as th colored man said when another gent of color had mauled him up for fifteen successiv minutes.

They had forgotten Bryan till the gallery lady mentioned him. Four o'clock and everything Is all gummed up worse than ever. But the Palmer wagon is gathering In a stray delegate here and there. A return ing scout says they will adjourn till 8 o'clock after the next ballot. Why not sine die? Tennessee, which has been voting for Davis, makes a long leap for the Palmer bandwagon with 24 votes. Great excitement for one minute. The convention is fed up on demonstra tions. Washington's new-found unanimity for McAdoo goes on the rocks and Palmer gets one and one-half. The see-saw is now telling, turning Pal- IT'S THE MIGHTIEST TALE OF THE CANADIAN NORTHWEST TODAY and Until Friday Midnight Where ia Primitive Mea and Vomea test tha Lawtf Miit- THIS WEEK ONLY Coming Saturday WM.
