hours from adjournment on Wcdnes-

But after long hours OF debate and
OF devising schemes TO prevent nny

ended with little or nothing accom-

Fred Lynch. OF Minnesota: Charles

agreed upon one thing only. to wit,
that the only affirmative thing an

nation of John w. Davis or Homer

An anti i-Mc.Adoo combination would
not improve the prospects either
OF Cox or Palmer. and for that
reason there is not as much enthu-
siasm for coalitions to defeat Nc

lowers as there otherwise might be.
The fact is as clearly indicated today
