GAG RULE MAKES BOLTER
OF DUDLEY FIELD MALONE
Also a Severe Blow to Delegate Kelly Pool and the
Casteel-Soper Combination-Everybody a
Candidate for Vice-President

ST. Lotus. June l5.-What did 1eh-
a I Bill Graves Of Jefferson City. No
do the minute Dudley Field Malone
made his first appearance in the
ton hall early this afternoon but wedge
his way AS fast as possible toward the
Bill stone and begin to confer intensely
while bud Malone paused for a moment
near the entrance to lean against the
noise.
Dud Malone had got there on the
5:l5 the day before. or after the con-
vention had adjourned for the day.
and therefore had not yet made a
speech. Then when he did appear in
the Coliseum to-day the Graves-Stone
conference instantly got under way. FOL
lowing which Bill Graves jumped on a
chair and damned through "A motion
that all s~econding speeches be limited to
i've minutes.
So bud Malone bolted the party to the
extent Of leaving the whole Democratic
convention fiat and strolled thought
fully out to the street. where he leaned
against a board fence for the rest of the
day with his hands In his pockets.
