was the delegate whose name had been
called or not, but it was Tailed. AS the

every ear in the hall, the delegates crowded
to the platform again, and the Kings of
Clubs had to drive them back again.

shouted "McAdoo" at once. One man
who managed to keep his place uRder the
Cnairman's desk answered to the cell of
four names with vote for McAdoo. Mark

volume as he went down the roll, but only
occasionally he made himself heard.

crowd, and stepping to the floor, declared
that he was prepared to vote when he got
an organization. 'We've got none now,"
he added.
