Several hun- dred men and women wearing Smith- for-President ribbons and equipped with cowbells and many other de- vices for ralsing a racket filed into the unassigned upper sections of the zalleries and got all set to give the convention a lively hour to rival that taken up yesterday by the McAdoo demonstration. Some of the rooters could not suppress their enthusiasm, and, after much scattered shouting for their favorite, group after group burst intc Smith campaign songs, answering each other along the long stretch of gallery under the eaves of the old garden. Bundles of small American flags were passed around and the gallery was a-flutter with color as the demonfrators warmed up.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, SIaff Correpondent of The Star. NEW YORK, June 26—The pleas for a suffrage plank and for a national representation plank for the Distriet of Columbia have both been turncd down by the subcommittee drafting the Democratic national platform for |adoption by the national convention [now in session here. After a hrier discussion in committee they were “pigeonholed” in the subcommittee. The subcommittee will report its draft of the platform to the full com- mittee today. Unless the full com- nmittee should decide to revive the District’s plank. it is doomed to fail- ure. There is little likelihood that the fuii committee will do so, it was said today.

DAVID LAWRENCE NEW YORK, June 26.—Strategy no sin, said Senator Pat Harrison in | his keynote speech, and the managers for the fifteen or more candidates as- piring to the presidential nomination are taking him at his word. The effort to wean away delegates from McAdoo has begun in earnest and some headway is being made. Trades and bargains lookins to the By accumulation of second choice pledges are being consummated on every side. Of the “dark horses”” Newton D Baker of Ohio and Senator Thomas F. { Walsh of Montana are beginning to figyre prominently in the discussions of what will happen when both Mc- Adoo and Smith are eliminated Race May End Soon. There are signs that the long-ex- pected endurance test may not ma- terialize after all and that a nomina- tion will come within twenty ballots. This is being revealed by the strategy of the managers themselves, who are asking for “favorite son” delegations to come to them on the fourth or fifth ballot at the latest. This means that the maximum strength of the two leading candidates will be reached before the tenth ballot and that many delegations will then feel free to abandon their instructions. Judging from present appearances, there is going to be a good deal of bitterness about violation of pledges and in- structions, for it never has been defi- nitely established in convention poli- tics when an instructed delegation can turn to a dark horse and how long a pledge should stick. The McAdoo lines will hold for at least five ballots. Some defections may then be expected, but at present writing the McAdoo management is confident of a last-ditch strength which amounts to more than one- third of the number_ of delegates here—enough to biock a nomination. Will Not Go te Smith. The McAdoo “last-ditch” delegates will not go to Gov. Al Smith. They are so vehement in their expressionk of bitterness at treatment received here that they are beginning to say they will cast their strength in any other direction but that of Smith. The talk of Senator Walsh of Mon- tana is developing largely because the anti-Klan groupes in the conven- tion realize they cannot hope to win he McAdoo element with Smith, but that the adnerents of the former Sec- retary of the Treasury might not be averse to the Montana senator. In other words, if the issue is to be a religious one, the McAdoo delegates Would prefer a “dry” Catholic to a “wet" Catholic. 3 'The demonstration on Wednesday against the Klan revealed the depth of feeling on that issue and may mean the selection of a Catholic on the ticket as Vice President if not as President. The McAdoo managers are beginning to consider a McAdoo-Walsh combination for President and ¢Vice President, as one way of showing they are not controlled by the Ku Kiux { Klan, Staged for Purpose. The artificiality of the demonstration staged by the McAdoo people was ap- parent to everbody, but it had a pur- pose just the same. It was to an- swer the rumors that McAdoo had lost most of his delegates. Today the Smith supporters are out to prove by noise and otherwise that they have as much strength as McAdoo, and as much, if not more, enthusiasm back of their candidate.

The platform is being laboriously whipped into shape and is expected to bé ready for presenting no later than tomorrow. Action upon it will be followed by balloting upon the nomi- nations for the presidency. Today the McAdoo people in their asserted cocksuredness say that the selec- tion of a candidate will be made by Saturday night and that, of course, McAdoo will be the man. The Smith boasters are willing to agree that the seiection is not far away and that it will be Smith. That old-timer Thomas Taggart of Indiana says: “Hold your horses; along about next Tuesday you both will be willing to wind ‘up, and the nominee will be Senator Ralston.” The Ralston boomers, by direction of | Mr. Taggart, have nailed the Ralston colors to the masthead and are going to make it a finish fight. For a day or two Mr. Taggart did not make a very serious demonstra tion, but after feeling out the situa- tion' he has become encouraged to take a more aggressive attitude. He has organized the Indlana delegation thoroughly and it is hard at work today seeking votes. Mr. Taggart's policy is not to antagonize the top- liner candidates, McAdoo and Smith, but is laying the groundwork so that followers of both may later on be willing to take into consideration the claims of his candidate.

Herriot—a talk which on the instant became informal, even n- timate.

Herriot. French statesmen in the past have shown so large a capacity for combining grandiloquent phrases about France and Europe, France and civilization, France and humanity, with such narrowly tionalistic and reactionary policies. that I feared that any general state- ment, however sincere in itself, could hardiy have much significance; and 1 know, of course, that in the present fluid state of things, discussion of details could not go very far. Yet there was just-the hope that an outline of some principle or policy clearly marking a new method and spirit, repudiating those which have devastated Europe in these last years, might serve as a guide. ~ Speaks With Freedom. 1 warned Mr. Herriot that 1 came as a journalist. and would write of his views; but he spoke with an ap- parently complete freedom from the fear of indiscretion, a- candor and simplicity very rare in politics. He began by paying a warm and en- thusiastic tribute to Mr. MacDonald. “I felt, immediately I met him,” said the French premfer, “that this was a man with whom I could work.
