he was a candidate for the presidential
nomination before tho democratic ma
tional convention. Had he had the On.
iilnchlng support OF the Ohio deleRa
ton. there IL little doubt that be
would have been the nominee. The
delegation was solid for him on The
FIRST ballot. Then II broke and the
chances OF his nomination vanished
into thin air. Payne was behind the
break. The delegates from the die

claim which stampeded tho convention

them save the gift OF pre.emlnent abll
