VOLUME VIII. —_—__. HOOSIER AGAIN IN CONVENTION McAdoo Strength Cut To New Low Level In Balloting. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, N. Y., July 8.— Six more futile ballots today —bringing its total to ninety-three — found the Democratic nationgl con- yention adjourning for a six hour is. during which , conferences weré planned in the hope of finding some way through the whirlpool. McAdoo lines continued to disinte- grate during the day's balloting, Governor Smith's forces held fast and the much discussed and looked for booming movement for Senator Ralston. was actually developed on the floor: The word went out to flop in the yotes for Ralston and in today’s bailoting his place had risen to third in the ist with a-total of 196%. rhe McAdoo numbers were ham- mhered steadily down during the day's balloting to a new low record —310 -votes—tho lowest point the McAdoo fortunes ever have touched since the convention began. They did recover a bit, however, on the lgst ballot of the day and stood at 14 when the conyention adjourned. Meanwhile the Smith vote closed at 255%; within 15 of ‘its highest mark in all the balloting. The McAdoo ees had suffered losses between the close of last night's balloting and today’s opening. John W. Davis closed well toward his high mark, standing at 68. Sen- ator Ralston beginning at a figure surpassing his previous highwater mark, wag run up,in the day's bal- loting from 98 to 196%. Glass in the meantime suffered a slump, losing in the aggregate forty votes. Much of his loss and the losses of others were due to the ac- cretions to the Ralston boom. ‘The talk about the convention hall was that the Ralston movement was going to be given its full chance to develop and if it did not do so the .coalition forces gvould be centered upon someone else. ‘Today’s adjournment came on the motion of George Brennan, of Ill!- nois, the leader for Governor Smith, who wanted time for conferences. ‘There was g growl from the conven- tion at the proposal of early ad- journment. Bruce Kremer, of Mon- tana; floor leader for the McAdoo forces, taking the platform, second- ed the Brennan motion for adjourn- ment and gave notice that if in the meantime nothing had been accom- plished hy conference he wotld, op- pose jany further adjournmen? of fe convention umtil a presidential nomination was made. Charles M. Hay of St. Louis, a Mc- ‘Adoo worker, also seconding the Brennan motion, denounced the un- yielding tactics of the coalition op- posed to Mr. McAdoo. Finally the convention adjourned to reassemble at 9 p. m. ‘An agreement was reached before (Continued on Page Ten.) The proposed lighting district from David street to Conyvell square on cond street is not likely to become fa reality for a long time, according to indications at the council meeting last night. It is thought that this district may extend as fdr as Grant o* Park street-but no farther. The council several weeks ago passed a resolution ,of intention to create the district after a petition had been circulated among property owners. ‘The council then instructed the city attorney to investigate into the mat- F ter of paying for the lights. ‘The at- , torney reported last night that the city had no power to float bonds for an improvement district of that na- ture but that'collections would have to be made from te abutting prop- erty owners at the time.

DOUGLAS EXTENDS THE GLAD HAND Casper Boosters Renew Trek Today to Torrington ‘After/ EARTHQUAKE Big Night at Converse Capital; Douglas Turns Out to Escort Visitors Into the City DOUGLAS, Wyo., July the Casper Boosters are ma their bags abulging with good old Scotch—wind. gion of kiddies scampering shouting voices come the Casper Boosters. That's the way the wide crowd from ‘The Centef of Wyo- Ming.” A veritable shower of favors was cast among the children. They sent out their catcalls and brought a mighty host of their kind from every corner of the towh. A mile from here the visitors were greeted as they came yesterday af- ternoon full tilt over the hill and caught a view of the pretty town where they were to spend the night. A half dozen cars of Douglasites awaited them with the “welcome brother” glad hand. The dinner at the LaBonte Hotel last night was a. rousing affair. ‘The 8.—(Special to The rehing with the Clan Stuart along both sides of t Tribune).—Tramp, tramp, tramp Pipe band going on before, Up this street and down that, a le- he great parade. And with lusty, avenues of Douglas were visited early last night by the “boys” from home sang the good old songs,, recited the pathetic. elocu- tionary pieces of long ago. Follow- ing the gathering in the dining hall the crowd broke loose into a parade that wound around the town's’ busi- ness district. The Pipe band led the way and a great multitude fell in behind. In front of the hotel and standing on a table which trembled as he burst into oratory, Harry B. Dur- ham was given the honor of stem- ming the pressing mob. It'was close to 4:45 o'clock when the calvacade left Casper yesterdag afternoon. That put the parade three ‘quarters of an hour behind schedule. The winds were gathering force and spatterings of rain beat their way across the highway which w dusty but in excellent shape. Speeding along in .ormation, the cars dashed into Parkerton at the height of the storm. Only a few brav- pany pleaded for relief on the sew- age problem. The present sewers in that vicinity are not large enough to take care of thp water that is sent from the ice plant. The prob- lem was referred to the city engineer and the water committee for {h- vestigation. The Casper Real Estate board pre- sented two requests to the council. One was for the removalofa partly burned house at Twelfth and Bech streets which, it is claimed, mars the beauty of that part of the city, and the other was for co-operation in an effort to get the Chicago and North- western to im rove its right-of-way especially in tnat part of town north of Second street. The Realtors de- sire that the rallroad company re- move unsightly Weeds and in other Ways make the fight-of-way attrac- tive, ~\ Ries oe . ed the gale to extend greetings, Quickly the trip wag resumed and the short stretch to Glenrock was soon covered. The storm was still on but a fair representation of the local boosters turned out to bid wel- come to their neighbors from Na- trona county. Streaking down the Yellowstone the Casper cars steamed into sight of Douglas at just 15 minutes be-_ hind schedule which set the hour of arrival at 6 o'clock. During the evening . crowds thronged the hotel to meet their Cas per friends, to hear their stories, to ‘talk business, to revive old times, and predict the future. And the future with such a crowd as the Cas- perites presented, could only be prog- nosticated as “bright and feir." There was no organized celebra- tion here but none was needed. As the Pied Piper drew ‘his hosts in Hamlin, so the Casper men and the Stuart band brought out the local population and all entered into the spirit of the occasion with remark- able gusto. This morning the boost ers started east with stops scheduled daring the day at Orin Junction, Glendo, Wheatland, Guernsey, Fort Laramie, Lingle and Torrington. 'To- nights stay wilt be at Torrington.
