Lowden at Chicago four years ago. Under the tactics of the party leaders, it would seem that the first driyé will be to eliminate Me- Adoo as the républican convention sidetracked Wood and then give Smith a chance to go over if he can, as Lowden was given his chance. It is after this trial lms beeh car. ried through a pre-agreed number of ballots that the big break. of ‘the convention is ‘expected to*come if Smith fails of nomination, as ap- pears likely. There is, of course, much talk of “dark “horses” compromise — selec- tions, but it may be stated positive: ly that up to the present the differ. ent leaders have not considered among themselves a _ selection, should both McAdoo and Smith lose. Discussion of the alternative proba- bly will begin Monday or Tuesday after the leaders. have had an. op- portunity to eanvass the arriving delegations and sound out sentiment. For the moment the New York delegation is solid for Smith, Tom “Taggart of Indiana is thinking of no one but Ralston, and Brennan of Ilinois is considering no one but Smith. The Ohio delegation will be for James M. Cox and he is certain to receive careful consideration at the hands of the leaders when the time comes. As things shape tonight on the eve of the convention week, there is more discussion among delegates, newspaper men and visitors of John W. Davis as the ‘datk horse” than of any. other man. Senator Carter Glass, . however, must be seriously considered now, because much of the McAdoo strength ia likely. to.turm to the diminutive Virginia statesman if Me- Adoo fails of nomination. It is known that Bernard Baruch, Thomas L. Chadbourne and others of the so-called Wilson wing of the party have long looked with favor upon Glass. In announcing the opening of Glass’ headquarters, John Bte- wart Bryan declared “the movement for Glass to breaktbe dead-lock is to be a serious, organized, tangible one.” Still another candidate to be placed before the convention in event of dead-lock, appeared sto- day ih the \person of David F.

HOTEL WALDORF, New York, June 21—A smashing denuciation ot corruption, graft and privilege in government pledge to “clean house” will consti- tute the main plank in the Demo- cratic platform. ‘Taking advantage of the oll sean- dal, the Daugherty investigation and the veterans’ bureau graft, Democratic chieftains tonight were rapidly hammering out @ platform that «will frame the ‘tskue on which they expect to win in November. Despite the confusion, the claims and counter claims of rival .man- agers, there is an abiding confi- dence among the delegates that 1924 is a “Democratic year." They are out to win, and there is a grow- ing feeling that the Democratic nominee must be fitted to stand four square on the main Issue in the platform. Upon this*plank there fs complete harmony among all factions of t party. It is, however, the only question on which all can agree. There are prospects of a fight on virtually every other question which has even a tinge of contro: vers$ in. it. With the continued open and bitter agitation of the Klean tesue unless some meane ts found to put the quietus on this queatign, even harmony-seeking leaders fear the resolutions committee, which drafts the platform, will be converted into a Donnybrook fair before the Klan plank can be ironed out to the satis» faction of the warring elements. George E. Brennan, Democratic ‘boss of Tilinois, and Representative Gallivan of Massachusetts declaring rellentiess warfare on the Klan, have become ‘more insistént for a plank to score the Klan by name and declare for religious and social Uberty.
