PAGE, TWO. RESULT OF CONVENTION BALLOT FOR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE IS UP IN AIR RECESS TIME TODAY By DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) MADISON - SQUARE GARDEN, New York, June 30,—Nobody—tiit- erally nobody—knows the outcome of the presidential contest at the Democratic national committee, not even the managers themselves, though they all whistle cheerfully to keep up thelr courage. The fight between McAdoo and Smith has developed such bitterness that it begins to appear doubtful whether either can be nominated. The Smith delogates are intense- ly opposed to McAdoo because #0 many of his delegates are accused ef Klan sympathy. Many of the Smith delegates are Catholics a resent any tolerance of the Klan'as anti-Catholic. The McAdoo delegates are, for the most part, “dry” and proclaim thelr unalterable determination never to vote for a “wet” by which term they classify Smith No candidate in recent political history has ever been nominated without a strong second choice sentiment in the camp of his oppo- nurt. McAdoo has no reserve of sufficient numbers in the Smith fanks and while the New - York governor has many adherents in the McAdoo delegations which were in structed for the former secretary of the treasury but at heart never wepe for him, this Smith following is not big enough to make up two thirds. Smith will gain several delegates from the states which have favorite sons, just as 800n “as it appears that the latter can not win. Ohio, for instance, will vote for James M, Cox. for a number of bal lots and if he doesn’t gain strength, about 30 of the 48 Ohio ballots will go for Smith, The lowa delegation is held to McAdoo by a hair. The unit rule prevails there. The McAdoo men have ‘about 12 of the 26 votes as- sured, but three others who were in- structed for McAdoo and who will help the delegation go to McAdoo for the first few ballots are re- Nerving to themselves thd right to determine when they shall desert the former secretary of the trea- sury. This means they lean to Smith or a dark horse and away from McAdoo and unless the latter Gevelops great strength In the first few ballgts and continues to gain or rather doesn’t lose, the Iowa yote Will start on’ its adventure with some other candidate, i There are a few votes in North Dakota which may be cast for Smith. . The strategy of the Smith man- Rcers will be to pile up-these gains Slowly and give the “effect of n ampede in the hope that ‘wild jasm will carry doubtful lons onto the Smith band. wagon. The evidence thus far ‘dges not in- flicate that Smith has yet; made rtain of two thirds or anywhere near it. His high water mark may each 459, but any strength beyond that is u@pertain. If he could get to 600, he wolud have a splendid chance to win. But the thing that will defeat him, if indeed it doesn’t at the same time defeat McAdoo, is the un- usual “favorite son” vote in this convention. The “dark horses" con- delegations and they will is to the two leaders in a . but will ald and abet the deadlock in the hope of a swing in their direction, Seated on the speaker's platform today A. Mitchell Palmer, who this correspondent of w remia Something that happened at Balti e in 1912 and which may happen here. In that convention Mr. Palm ex oor manager for Woodrow Wiis Ad therefore he speaks with-authority on the inner startegy of that historic meeting. “While Clark and Wilson wero opposed to eash other,” he said “they were not so violently opposed as to prevent Clark delega from folng to Wilson. In fact, we had many second choice delegates in the Clark states, These men ulti- mately came to us.” What Mr. Palmer says was true also at San Francieco in 1920. Cox had less than 1§0 votes at the start of the convention, but his managers had obtained many second choice pledges. As a consequence, when it became apparent ‘that noither Palmer nor McAdoo could win, the delegates did not desert but the t r men turned to Cox. Thus, and 1920 went to the candidate with the greatest second choice strength. If history repeats itself, the same process will develop here. The Mc Adoo men will never go to Smith. The Smith men will never go to Mo: Adoo, The second choice of th Smith group is Underwood, but the McAdoo men are not likely to swing to the Alabaman. Nevertheless this correspondent believes Underwood has an outside chance. *The second choice of many. dele gates has been Senator Ralston, of Indiana, but publication of a story here today that the Klan has all along preferred Ralston to McAdoo has alienated votes that might have gone to Ralston, It may not true, but those things hurt in a convention strurggle The two most likely compromise candidates, because of their second It's Dress Week choice strength, are Newton D. Baker,-of Ohio, and John W. Davie, ot West Virginia, Mr. Baker's speeches have mate him an out+ standing figure here.“ He satisfies the McAdoo men because he ts @ dry and because he is an ardent Wilson man. He ¢omés from QGhio, which is a pivotal state Mm any election. He denounced the Klan here and thereby won friends in the New York and Iilinois delega- tions. Tom Taggart, of Indiana, is friendly to him. His handicap is that the Ohio delegation is not back- ing him, Ohio must Yote for Cox unt his chances dwindle and then the delegation will split several x vs, ewton Baker's opportunity will ‘come only after Davis and others have been tried out and failed. The Davis boom {8 growing more rapidly than any other here. The nominating percentages for ‘him are excellent. He is not an active candidate himself and he has no or. ganization. Friends from his home town, Clarksburg, W. Va., have placed -him in nomination. ‘They have played a cautious and skilful game, piling up second choice pledges. They have no managers, but expect to get some when when certain states swing toward them. They expect to Inherit votes from both the Smith and McAdoo camps. Just now, John W. Davis has more second choice strength than any man in the convention. And that's why—assuming neither McAdoo nor Smith can be nominated—he can be looked upon to emerge as the beneficiary of both, But at this writing,, nobody knows that any- thing will happen. For the HcAdoo lines are holding and so are the Smith lines. rere LG I CITY BRIEFS An error was made in Sunday's Tribune to the effect that Dr. and Mes. Reichenbauch would be away for three months.

JULY SALE OF MEN'S APPAREL) Entire Stock of Summer Clothes to be Unload- ed by Fred Himself “Your money's worth or your money back” is the slogan which Fred Himself, proprietor of the Boston store, 260 ‘South ‘Center street, had adopted for his July sale which starts tomorrow. Fred Himself states that this is going to be a record breaker. Although not quitting business he, is unloading his entire stock: of summer clothes for men and young men, The fact that these must be unloaded in order to make the sale a success has led to the clothier cutting his prices to the very bottom. Men's suits have been reduced to ich an extent that a high priced suit of clothes may be obtained from Fred for a vey small sum These are cin all wool serges and hard finished worsted. Fred Himself. has not confined his reduction to men’s sults how ever and he is offering reductions in sll lines of haberdashery. 7 A special appeal is being made at this time to the workingman. The Boston store preprietor feels that the workingman has a right’ to dress well even though he may not be earning the money of tlose who do not have to labor with their hands. His prices, he considers, are within the reach of eyery laboring man in Caspe As a guarantee of his sincerity Fred promises that clothes which do not give satisfaction may be re- turned and money will be refun ed. “Iam going to stay in Casper, he stated today" and for that re son it is especially important that the things I sell give complete satis- faction. CASPER GIVEN BIG BOOST BY BUSINESS MAN W. J. Lindsay Says City Is on Way to Reach Position Expected After spending three months in California, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Lind. sey returned to Casper yesterday.

Mr Lindsay has always followed the custom of making an addition to his} store in adverse times and has never had occasion to regret. this practice fince business Jnvariably picked up and made the additions necessary.) At the present time the merchant is adding once again to his great store and is confident that his ac. tion will be justified. The state of Califofnia ts not so much on the toboggan elther as the outsider is led to suspect, sald Mr.) Lindsay.
