'Unless these two gentlemen come

then the dry forces will be in a sad

Spectacular Battle.
[By Harold D. Jacobs, United Press
Staff Correspondent
san FRANCISCO, July 6.-Bat-
tered and reeling from terrible pun
ishment, reluctant but game fighter
went down to defeat early today IN
one of the most spectacular political
battles of all times - technically
knocked out in the forty-fourth round.
William G. McAdoo's loss of the
democratic presidential nomination
to Governor James NJ Cox has no
closer parallel than that of the un-
willing emerging from retirement OF
James ]. Jeffries to attempt to re-
gain the championship from Jack
Johnson
McAdoo, veteran both in years
and experience, after more than two
years voluntary exclusion from the
political arena, was sought by his
admirers to contest the leadership OF
the democratic party with Cox, a
young gladiator just at the height OF
Popularity and political prowess. he
refused, but was carried bodily into
the ring.
Explaining the Reason.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-James
NJ. Cox was chosen as the democratic
presidential nominee because VIM. e:
McAdoo couldn't be nominated and
A. Mitchell Palmer couldn't De
elected
A veteran politician who refused to
permit his name to be used thus
tersely described the reason for end
ing the deadlock that had tied up the
convention from the time ballotlng
began Friday until early today.
Back in the early days of the con-
vention McAdoo was. generally re-
garded as strongest Of the demo
cratic candidates, but he and Cox re-
fused to make campaign. Cox was
the only aspirant to carry the fight
outside his home state. Palmer came
TO San Francisco--the only one of the
pig three to appear personally on the
battle gruund-with the leading in
structed delegates.
Before the convention opened NC
adoo issued statement announcing
MS irrevocable" withdrawal. Such
organization as had built up around

lacy of Connecticut.
The Cox strategy was by far the
most ably planned and executed.
The balloting opened with McAdoo
in the lead, Palmer second and Cox
third, with considerable strength in
reserve.
! McAdoo was soon passed by Cox.
The lead then alternated between the
Ohioan and McAdoo. Palmer was
never better than third after the sew
enth ballot. When the deadlock be-

Palmer. in turn. were each given q
run for their money
! During each recess tentative efforts
were made to get together. but the
only basis on which a compromise
could be reached was dark horse"
and leaders were unwilling to con
cede that their man had lost all
chances for the nomination
McAdoo and Cox were virtually on
par when Palmer released his ,1ele-
gates. The majority of these freed
votes promptly lined up with Cox,
putting him well in the lead. The
Indiana delegation then turned to
Cox. The issue was decided when
on the forth-fourth and final ballot
the Pennsylvania delegation-the
neucleus OF Palmer's strength and
McAdoo-went to Cox.
