eighth, when Attorney General Palmer
released his delegates, that the long
succeslon of roll calls showed any defi

a candidate for the vice-presidency.

cession of most of the Palmer strength
to Cox put him well ahead and after
that state delegations went Into iu

forty-third he got a majority for the
first time of all the votes cast and on
the forty-fourth he was plunging to
ward the required two-thirds when
Colorado changed Its vote to him and
made the nomination obvious. It was
made unanimous on motion of Sam B.

state delegations deserting his ban

Besides, the scattering Palmer dele

in Increasing numbers and he began to
take a commanding place in the ballot

Once he had more than a majority
the fight was easy. When the conven

with a roaring shout, a terrific uproar
followed. The whole mass of dele
gates threw - themselves into a final

the fight at Baltimore in 1912 which
gave President Wilson his first nomi

a point where shouts and cheers greet

night ballot sent his partisans off Into
a roaring, gesticulating parade about
the hall in which western ana southern
fate standards were prominent but-
which no amount of shouting could in
duce New York or Pennsylvania to
join. New York had reached a divis

Carlin briefly stated that Attorney
General Palmer was not willing longer
to delay a nomination and authorized
the complete and unconditional release
