- Ing through two more long ses-
(Ions the democratic national con-

i with. Its: fight over the nomina-
i Despite material losses . and
( .threats of more, McAdoo still was
( 'in the lead in the 30th and last
. ballot taken before adjournment,
' ' 'with Smith climbing steadily, but
'still short of . even a third of the
' total delegate strength. -I
' John W. Davis, by picking off
.stray votes here and there and
, two or three solid state j delegar
tions, had gone Into third place;
j and the friends of Ralstoh of In-
) diana were taking renewed hoDe
j from assurances given them of a
swing to their candidate once the
. . break in balloting comes.
The backers of the Indiana sen
ator declared he would, be satis
factory to the McAdoo forces
should Mr. McAdoo release hi;
delegates, and that William Jen
nings Bryan and othef leaders
were actively working toward the
nomination of Ralston. - -
- Meantime Mr. Bryan had come
out openly , against Davis and had
declared ; he c.'vild never be nomr
Inated. .-, . : " '-:,''.
. The McAdoo men denied a story
that they had undertaken negotia
tions to swing any part of their
votes to Ralston in case of a de
ciding swing away from McAdoo.
Like the managers for Governor
' Smith, they insisted the time had
not come to talk of second choices,
and . predicted victory In tomor
row'g balloting. ; v
Starting with 479 votes when
the roll was called for the 16th
time this morning, McAdoo lost
first Missouri and then Oklahoma
and on the 30th ballot taken just
before adjournment until tomor
row his total was ,415.- There
was plenty of talk about restless
ness and prospective breaks In
"ether .McAdoo states now befld
tinder th unit - role, but In the
late ballots the McAdoo ranks
held solidly. :.?-.''. '-"
Starting with 305' this morn
ing. Governor Smith climbed to a,
total of 323 at adjournment. ,
Davis, starting the day with 61,
ended it with 126. . The field
of favorite sons was trailing with
out material changes In 'their
standings.
