MADISON SQUARE GARD New York, July 1.—Starting. to with its sixteenth ballot, the. Demo- cratic national convention resumed its rch for a presidential candi date. Tho opening balloting held out little hope that one readily would be found as the only break of any note was that New Hampshire on this ballot left hee favorite son, Gov- ernor Brown, and divided between the Smith and McAdoo forces, with one vote for Davis, At the close of the sixteenth ballot tho first of the day, the leaders stood: McAdoo, 478; Smith, 305.5; Davis, 63; Robinson, 46; Underwood, 41.5. These figures showed a net loss of one for McAd no, change for Smith, and a gain of twe for John W. Davis, Robinson had jumped from 20 to 40.

Total, 1,098. McAdoo had lost six and five tenths; Smith gained seven; Davis gained one. “There was no nomination and the convention went on to the eight- eenth ballot, South Dakota which had been vot- ing her ten solidly for McAdoo gave one vote to Sevator Walsh on this ballot, Wyoming swung its six from Robinson to Glass on this ballot. At the end of the roll call the clerk went back to pol] Florida, where the vote had been challenged. Meantime Tom Taggart visited the Illinois delegation and had, some whispered conferences there with George Brennan, On the Florida poll the first name called was Willlam Jennings Bryan. The great commoner wasn't In his seat and his name was passed. The elghteenth ballot, the third of today's proceeding, like its predeces- sors, developed no presidential can- didate: Underwood, 89%; MeAdoo, Robinson, 22; Smith, 31244; J Davis, 66; Ritchie, 18%; Cox, 60; Bryan, 11; Governor Davis, 10; Glass, 30; Saulsbury, 6; Ralston, 80; Hull, 20; Walsh, Total, 1,008, McAdoo lost one; Sinith vote was anged; Davis gained two. There was one Smith delegate in the Florida lot, but the state was under the unit rule, Chairman Walsh called fof some member of the delegation to come to the plat- form anl explain the contention that the state was under tho unit rule, There were howls from the gallery for Bryan, UNIT RULE DEMAND IS MADE ON FLGOR, John C, Cooper, Jr, of Jackson. ville, took the platform to eontend for the unit rule, Mr. Cooper recited that the dele gation had been sent pursuant to a primary won by McAdoo, He con- teaded that any personal preference of any delegate should have no weight in view of the expressed preference of the majority of the Democrats of the state, There was no absolute rule in the delegation, he contended a matter for the consctence of the delegate himself who was responsible to his constituency. Meantime, Willlam J. Bryan came in and on learning what had tran spired, rushed to the platform where Bruce Kremer, one of the McAdoo managers gaye him an oeutline of t had been going on. er Governor Gilchrist of Florida spoke against the unit rule. He contended that the rame situa. prevailed in 1912 when Florida is pledged to Underwood and two members claimed the right to cast their votes for Woodrow Wilson.

He ruled against t contention of the Mc- Adoo peo; holding “it’s a matter between the delegate and his con- science.” A simflar condition exist- ed in the state of Montana, he said, where one delegate was casting a continuing vote for Smith. Chairman Walsh finally ruled that the Florida delegation would have to decide for itself how long it would be bound by the preference primary. The convention parlia- mentarlan gaye the opinion that the ruling was according to precedent; that ths unit rule could be enforced on a delegation only by direct man- date of a state convention. Primary instructions, he said, did not bind delegates to vote as a unit and a majority from members of the dele- gation could not enforce a unit rule. WYOMING VOTES . THROWN TO GLASS. Wyoming delegates, who support- ed Robinson on the first three bal- lots today, threw their votes to Car- ter Glass on the 19th ballot, the sum- mary of which follows: Underwood, 39%; McAdoo, 474; Robinson, 22; Smith, 311%; John W. Davis, 84%; Ritchie, 1744; Cox, 60; Bryan, 10; Governor Davis, 9; Glass, 30; Ralston, 30; Saulsbury, 6; Cope- land, 1; Walsh, 2. Total 1,098. Tilingts took one from Jonathan Davis and gave it to Copeland. The remainder still was scattered. Michigan took one from Smith and fave it to Senator Walsh of Mon- tana. Mississippi, despite the plead- ings of Bryan slid her 20 to John W. Davis on this ballot and started a Davis demonstration. Bryan had failed to win the two thirds of a vote which was holding the delegation under the unit rule. A woman dele- Davis is the man to Adoo peopl A Missouri! woman delegate cast Missouri's 36 for McAdoo, under the unit rule, and another woman dele- gate from the state promptly de- manded a poll, The state was pass- ed to be taken up again at the end of the roll call. Nebraska gave McAdoo five, a gain of one taken from Governor Bryan. Pennsylvania again divided with the field;, Rhode Island's 10 stuck to Smith and the McAdoo block of southern states followed. The Missouri poll stood 24 for Mc- Adoo and 12 opposed, scattered. Under the unit rule the vote.of the whole delegation was cast for Mc- Adoo, The purpose of the poll was to show the convention that there were other votes in the delegation, BRYAN OPENS F iv ON JOHN W. DAYIS. William Jennings Bryan launched an open ‘fight on the conyention floor axainst John W. Davis of West Virginia today during the taking of the nineteenth ballot. Hearing that the Mississippi dele- gation was planning to go to Davis, an left his seat in the Florida ution and went over to talk with the Misstssippians. “IT tell ou that LaFollette will take more votes from Davis than he will from ‘the Republicans,” Bryan said, as he pleaded with the legates not est Virginian, The Mississipp{ delegates argued against Bryan's stand but he was determined He stood in the center of the delegation and pleaded strongly. Davis partisans in the delegation argued with Bryan that no Demo- cratic candidate save from the east had been elected in the past half century. “I have been in battles of the Barty for more than a quarter of a century and never had much help from John W. Dayis,” Bryan an- swered emphatically. * Several McAdoo men in the dele- gation demanded that the delegation be polled again before the next roll all, Bryan continued his broadside against the West Virginian. "I know the temper of the north- west and I offer as my opinion to this delegation that you are throw- ing Democratic chances to the wind to get behind the Ww in yoting for Davis. His. clients and his connections in the east make him desirable there, ?but he! can command no following in the! Fishermen, purchase—and . Wednesday. an Phone 2300 and 62 Picnickers.

JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION NOW 2 Che Casper Dally Ccidune northwest where tne election will be decided.” Some of the women delegates brought up the sbuject of McAdoo's oll connections. “McAdoo never got close enough to Doheny to get the friendship of Wall Street,” Bryan countered. Later Bryan said he merely went over to see the delegation because rumors of a switch to Davis had been reported to him, “I am interestea in this fight; I want the party to win,” he said. Bryan did rot insist on a decision by the Mississippi delegation. When he had finished his remarks about Davis he walked away. A few minutes after Bryan had departed from the Mississippi sec- tion, Hollins» N. Randolph, chatr- man-of the Georgia delegation, was the center of an argument among the group around the Mississippi standard, urging the McAdoo can- didacy. The close margin which had de cided the Mississippi allegiance on the 18th and 19th ballots, less than one full vote, made the delegation the center of a contention for all factions. The twenty yotes appar- ently were to be had by McAdoo for the swinging of a single delegate. After Bryan and “Randolph had departed, Henry L. Whitfleld, Mis- sfssippi chairman, and A. C. Ander. son of Ripley, one of the Davis supporters declared that a poll of the delegation would not be taken until called for by at least seven members of the delegation. Senator Pat Harrison, who had earlier released the) delegation from supporting him, was not on the floor when the struggle was in progress and aparently. was math- taining a strictly neutral position. SLIDE TO DAVIS GAINS VOLUME, Swinging Into the 20th ballot the clerk had read off five states before there was a change. Colorado took one from McAdoo and added two to Davis. Illinois deserted Senator Copeland of New York on this ballot and re- turned the single vote to Governor Davis. Smith lost half a vote in Massa- chusetts which was cast for Mayor Dever of Chicago. It was the first time the name of the mayor of the Windy City, mentoned by some ‘as a possble “dark horse,” had been in- troduced into the balloting. Michigan took one away from Mc- Adoo and gave it to Smith. Missouri again passed. Nebraska took 2 from Smith, glv- ing them to Governor Bryan and for- mer Senator Hitchcock. New Hampshire cut McAdoo and Smith to one edch, adding four to Senator Walsh of Montana, It was reported that in the Mis- souri delegation which passed that the McAdoo majority has been lost and that the sentiment favors Davis of West Virginia. Pennsylvania again cast a scatter: ing vote without material change but it was reported that it might later add some to Smith. There also was some talk that Qhio might swing a big block of votes to the New York gov- ernor on a later ballot and that Illi- nois would increase its 18 which jit has been casting for him. McAdoo men expected to counter with some Ohio votes and also said they could ¥ eo Cheapest In Town add, to their strength. from the southern states.
