sonaity one of the most popular "sn in this country. Cockran's speech swept the convention like prairie fire.
 Thirty minutes later Burris Jen- kins of Missouri named McAdoo and the demonstration thereafter showed the tight to be between Me- Adoo and dark horse, that is be- tween McAdoo and some man who has not made a Iimeiisht cam paign.
 The McAdoo demonstration had been stage set. The smith demon stration was spontaneous and grew every minute.
 There promises to be many bal lots before a nomination, with Me- Adoo probably polling more votes than any other one man on the first ballot But the best opinion seems to be that he cannot make if and one of the lesser known candidates in the big field will finally land.

AIter conflicting arguments relative to the prospect of deadlock, and the ad- visibility of presenting Scnaeor Under approval from him, the delegation agreed .to postpone the cons iteration of this topic 'usftF iAnoifow
 When t'nderwoods ts..fe was men tlcned, John A. Lusk, of Guntersvile, suggested postponeHlent. He declared beliel that immediate consideration would not benefit the senator and might weaken the delegation as force to secure the nomination of a democratic candidate.
 Geo. w. Taylor, of Demopols sug- gested that immediate action might be unwise It was then that w. T. Sanders, of Athens, national committeeman took the floor. He said,
 I am immensely interested in this topic. l believe the contingency will ar arise a resoult of which we can present the name of Sen. Underwood and secure his nomination. I wouldn't be disposed to ask for complimentary vote for the senator. I know that the. senator would not particularly care for that, but if the chance comes for us to make sacrifice, feel that we should do so.
 "A number of distinguished men have stated to me that Underwood would be

 Mir. Lusk interposed an iY trroga.,o- regarding the sincerity or '.he insin- certy of the gentlemen who had spoken to MT. Sanders. concerning Senator Un- derwood.

 ''The women of the country replied MT. Sanders, would support the norni- nee of the democratic party beyond per adventure. and Senator Underwood in my opinion is the strongest man we can put before the people.
 Continuing MT. Sanders said.

Delegates from Kansas and Delaware spoke to me yesterday regarding the availability of our man. 1 am informed that Mississippi would be happy to rally to the Alabamian if an opportunity pre- sents itself

 The McAdoo leaders woke up yester- day to the realization that two-thirds vote necessary to nominate their can idate was not in sight. Moreover on the front page of one of the San Francisco papers was displayed great scorehead line about the crown prince.
 The convention stampede hao stopped The utterly spontaneous movement to McAdoo was not going 10 be enough to nominate him. Ihe forces of the opposition were consolidating their line, and moreover, the one great weakness of Mir. McAdoo, his relauon- ship to the president, was beginning To weigh in the minds of the delegates. The whole movement was in the condl- tion that organized cheering in conveh- tions often reaches--it does not go on off itself. It has to be stimulated py some especial vociferation.
 To keep up the appearance of aston ishing vitality which the McAdoo can didacy has shown, something had 10 De done so the women workers were turned loose. Their energy and enthu- siasm may give oxygen to the McAdoo candidacy and maintain its high m tensity, but it is huge task to con tinue a movement like this until Satur- day when. in alf probability, nomina- tions will be made.
 If it were not for the convention be- lief that Mir. McAdoo is strong with labor, his candidacy would collapse tauickly. The delegates are balancing his strength with labor against his weakness as a member of the Wilson family. As the platform is likely to
 give Mir Gompers substantially all he asks for the convention may decide that the democratic party will have the sup port of lator and in that case it may not have to take a candidate who reaches the dynasty issue in order to get the vote for which Mr. Gompers | speaks.
