Arizona republican., 1920-07-05

ing the lesser group, Ambassador Davis, had the greatest strength. His vote on the final roll call Saturday was 52. But all efforts to start sc rious break in his direction had been unaYailing and after conferences, his friends tonight were claiming more strength for him, but nothing like "A stampede at the start tomorrow.
 Ranking next to Davis on the twer- ty second ballot was Senator owen with 35, which included Nebraska votes controlled by W. J. Bryan. It was recognized that Bryan had been deprived, by his defeat on the prohibi- tion issue, of most of the power he :. might have held over the destinies of the presidential contest.
 There was still talk of Senator Glass. entrusted by the president to conduct the fight for an administration plat- form.
 Dark Horses Await Break
 In all dark horse camps the attitude was the same; they were hoping for q break tomorrow. but were convinced that they would have to abide their time while the managers of the lead ing three tried out any new align ments they might have arranged over sunday.
 The closing hours of Saturdays tu- multuous session were prophetic of the scenes which might be expected when the battle is resumed tomorrow. Demonstr trations began with thg switch of a handful of votes Thq band and pipe organ joined in repeat
 edly and wrought nightly to stimulate the efforts of par eSans. Scrimmagcd occurred around state standards where support for the candidates was divided. Rival partisans fought 10 get them into the parades that lurched
 through the aisles or to keep them out.
 Frequently the big placards thaR
 mark the place of state delegations
 were destroyed in the struggle. When an announcement from the l platform showed Coxs strength to be 1 approaching 500, there came a tumult 1 of Cox enthusiasm rivaling the earlier 1 outburst when New York broke and
 planted 73 votes behind the Ohio gov ernor. The red-coated Cox band, tho red headed yen leader, and the leather l lunged roOters jumped into the up- ! roar.
 i McAdoo supporters scented danger. ! As by magic, they organized on the I floor in opposition and with the Texas standard leading, began q parade of | their own. The big lone star flag of l Texas came out of retirement and a flock of southern and western state ! banners were thrust into line. The Cox band began q march around the l gallery aisle. Ahead of them capered an elderly but agile Ohioan exhorting | spectators to join in the uproar. Ohio delegates on the floor joined in. Fol lowed by q group of mid-western and 1 eastern standards and led by q big Cox | banner, they swung through the aisleS ! in one direction, while the McAdoo | parade surged slowly and jerkily ahead
 through the crowd in the other.
 Bands Engage Tn Duels The Ohio band and the regular con- l yention musical forces got at odds. | They hurled musical ombardments at | each other over the heads of the dele gates. A terrific din and blare of sound
 was the result. Nobody thought the musicians knew what they were play
 ing. and apparently nobody cared.
 When the storm of noise and action
 reached it's height Palmer hosts in the l Pennsylvania delegation again got into
 action. The maroon pennants associ- ! ated with demonstrations for the attor-
 ney general appeared again. At the | gallery rail somebody let loose pie ! ture of Senator Owen of Oklahoma. | When Georgia's 28 went over 10 i AIcAdoo as a compliment from the
 state of his nativity, a new uproar came. McAdoo followers leaped 10 1 their feet all over the hall prepared 10 ! begin all over again, even while stiI 1 drawing breath from their last effort ! There were some looks of agitation among the Cox groups as they watched l the poll, when order was restored. The ! change of one vote caused a roar. The ballot showed a distinct gain for McAdoO and some loss for Cox The whole convention began talking II oYer- i Conversation grew into roar from a. | rumble It drowned out the score | sheet on favorite sons, owen, Davis, (Continued from Page One)
