McAdoo Men Organized.

The McAdoo people came into the
convention floor for the first time with
working organization, including a
floor leader and representative on
practically every state delegation. Their
problem was to find enough support
ers to round up two thirds vote. Cox
and Palmer forces were active round
ing up a showing for the opening ball
lots.
Administration forces were in full
control of the convention machinery
and there seemed little doubt of their
power to guide the adoption of a plat
form entirely satisfactory to them.
They were also apparently In a posi-
ton to exercise a veto power over
any candidate unsatisfactory to them.
whether any word might be expected
from the White House as to admins
tratton preference on candidates.
Inevitably this situation led to dis
cussion of dark horses because no one
knew II the White House would favor
any particular candidate. Leaders In
the dark horse paddock are Vice Presi-
dent Marshall, Chairman Cummings and
John W. Davis, ambassador to Great
Britain.
Whether a combination of the opposi-
tion forces can be accomplished to
ninistration has not been revealed.
With the situation apparently well in
hand, close observers Of convention de-
velopments would not be surprised to
see the next move to be definite
trend toward some particular candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
fThere are many, however, who believe
there will be no definite drift of pres
ldential sentiment until after the plat
form has been adopted and the candi-
dates know definitely upon what char
acter of party principles they are ex-
pected to stand. There was no surface
indication when the convention met to-
day that there was any material change
in the relative standing Of the presi-
dental candidates
Delegates were eXpectant as to
whether nominating speeches would be
reached today or tonight. The COM
mttee on rules decided that nominat-
ing speeches may be delivered in ad-
vance Of the adoption of the platform
hut that balloting should not begin un-
til the declaration of principles had
been decided upon.

The cost of concrete roads vary con-
