Well Ahead on 42nd Ballot

On the forty-second ballot the ac-
cession of most of the Palmer
strength to Cox put him well ahead
and after that, great and little state
delegations went into the Cox COL
umn in a procession. On the iortj
third he got a majority for the first
time of all the votes cast, and on the
forty-fourth he was plunging toward
the required two-thirds when Colo.
RADIO changed its vote to hin; and
made the nomination obvious. 1t
was made unanimous on motion OF
Sam B. Amidon of Kansas, a leader
of the McAdpo forces.
OF the forty-four ballots two were
taken last Friday night, fourteen at
the first session Saturday, and six at
the Saturday night session. There
were twenty-five recorded Monday,
fourteen at the all-day session and
eight last night.
Cox began the fight with IA on
the first ballot, and climbed steadily
until ythe fourteenth when he had
468 I-z. His lowest vote after that
was on the thirty-fifth, the first taxi
en- at last nights session, when it fell
to $40 I-2. =
A curious thing in the voting for
McAdoo was that he received 266
on the first ballot, the lowest cast
for him and z66 Ia on the last bal
lot. His highwater mark was 4t7 on
the fortieth ballot.
At the time Cox had 40O, Palmer
opened with zs6 votes. His highest
vote was 267 I-z, on the seventh bal

Banging his gavel in a final thump,
Chairman Robinson put the question,
and the answer roared back at him
with all the volume of a thousand
voices in shouting the tremendous
Aye that made Gov. Cox the Dem-
ocratic nominee.
The forty-fourth ballot never WIS
completed. In the great chorus OF
affirmation it was swept away as un-
necessary. Many of the changes
which would have been made had the
vote been carried out were never re-
corded, and on the face of that bal
