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

EN SELLING

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

this convention, as th colored man
said when another gent of color had
mauled him up for fifteen successiv
minutes. It takes little to pleas

they were starting something , for
Bryan. 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-
