In an unofficial way Mrs. Genevieve Clark Thompson, daughter of the late Champ Clark, was most active, never ceasing in her bitter fight against the faction which helped defeat her father in 1912, Mrs. Izetta Jewell Lirown of West Virginia seconded the nomination of Davis for the second time and did valuable work for him.

STOPS SECOND DEADLOCK Succeeded in Uniting Warring Fac- tions When It Appeared to Be Hopeless. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. NEW YORK, July 11.—When the inside history of the record-breaking Democratic national convention of 1924 comes to be written, the part played behind the scenes in the final deliberations by former Gov. James M. Cox will form perhaps the most interesting and important chapter. Gov. Cox arrived In New York at a psychological moment and in his suite of rooms on the twelfth floor of the Waldorf were held a serfes of conferences which concentrated the thought of the distraught leaders on the one man the candidate of 1920 considered as the outstanding figure in the democracy today. Gov. Cox arrived at the beginning of the third week of the convention when affairs seemed all but hopelsss for the party of which he regarded himself as the titular head until a new standard bearer could be named. The so-called leaders in the con- vention were pulling first one way and then the other. FEvery move made by one of them was suspected by the others. Every suggestion of a possible course of action was re- garded with suspicion. It was feared there was some selfish motive back of it. Then, too, each leader had a favorite dark horse of his own and felt that if there was to be an ebony equine chosen his man should un- questionably be the selection. Feared Second Deadlock. When Gov. Cox arrived there were signs that both Mr. McAdoo and Gov. Smith were becoming convinced at last that neither of them had a pos- sible chance for the nomination. here also were signs that when the two leaders quit there would bhe an- other deadlock among the warring factions. Having withdrawn from the race himself, having only the good of the party in mind, Gov. Cox consented to come to New York. He had re- celved scores of telegrams while he was in Ohio urging him to lend his assistance to the drifting democracy After his arrival here he received literally thousands of additional mes- sages. “Happily Gov. Cox found him- self in a position to “talk turkey to all the leaders. He knew them all, had been assoctated with them in campaign and conference. He had no axes to grind, no selfish in- terests to serve. Gov. Cox did not hesitate to talk with George Brennan of Illinois, with Joe Guffey of Pennsylvania, Tom Taggart of Indiana, Norman Mack of New York, with the warring ele- ments in his own home state delega- You'll Appreciate The Star tlon of Ohio. Gov. Cox knew the con- vention was looking to some sign from this group, The unbossed dele- gates had been crying for a leader, for a Moses to take them out of the wilderness of factional fighting and growing indecision. Leaders Faled to Lead. But neither Taggart nor Brennan nor Guffey apparently had been able to deliver their delegations to any- body. Onge the Illinois delegation was split seven different ways. This was on one of the late ballots, too. These leaders promised Mr. Cox, however, according to the story gen- erally in circulation today, that it “the others” could agree on the proper man they would see that at the proper time the full delegation strength was polled for him. There was & wide canvass of the field of available candidates. Senator Glass, Senator Underwood and John W. Davis finally made up the field as the con- ferences proceeded. Gov. Cox let it be known that he thought Mr. Davis the most available man of the trio. the strongest campaigner and mos likely to catch the imagination of the people.’ Senator Carter Glass had many friends in the conference. It was with great reluctance that these friends final- ly turned away from him. But there was general agreement in the end that Mr. Davis would be the easiest to name. Await McAdoo’s Move. This decision was reached along about 5 o'clock last Tuesday morning. Then came the waiting for the inevi- table release of delegates by Mr. Mc- Adoo. The conferees had made no effort to influence the Californian one way or the other. They simply took it for granted that eventually he must | step aside. When he did so the end was in sight. There was no wild stam- pede to Davis on the first following bal- lot. There was no forcing, no coercion, but the Davis stream steadily swelled as the leaders fed in their strength. In comment todayv upon the work of Gov. Cox the New York World edi- torfally says. “For the successful outcome of the convention a good part of the credit is due to Gov. Cox. He came on the scene when the deadlock seemed most hopeless and leadership was at a dis- count. He knew what he wanted. He knew what was needed to be done. He had the conviction to insist. And the outcome his purpose was accom- plished.” (Copyright. 1024.)
