\ not been seen since the days of slavery. Like that issue, it rests on the old, old race question. And it finds the anti klan wing of the party arrayed in bit ter hostility against the pro-klan wing. This was disclosed when the convention went into a riot over a denunciation of the klan by Forney Johnston, during a speech placing Senator Oscar Under. wood in nomination.
 Developments Of Day
 Other outstanding developments We'd nesday were:
 1. An hours demonstration for Mo Adoo when his name was placed in nomination.
 2. Drive for second choice pledges by friends of Samuel NJ. Ralston of Indiana,
 8. Inability of the platform commit tee to agree on a league of nations plank.
 4. Decision of the resolutions sub committee to lay the klan question be- fore the full platform committee without recommendation.
 5. Increased activity by all dark horses.
 The snow white dove which flew over the convention just after it As- sembled Wednesday proved to be any thing but an omen of peace. For no sooner had Chairman Walsh finished his denunciation of the republican ad- ministrat tion scandals than the eonven- tion, seizing it's first opening, plunged into the klan demonstration.
 So bitter was the personal feeling aroused that fights occurred in various parts in the hall. Two women held the standard of Missouri against an anti klan delegate who tried to jerk it up and join the parade around the hall. Colorado's standard was broken in q similar fight.
 Texan Punches Pennsylvanian
 Cato Sells, Texas delegate, knocked down a Pennsylvania delegate who de- manded that the Texans get up. Five of the Texas delegation weakened and stood up, much to the indignation of the remaining delegates.
 The spontaneous outburst was a sur prise to all convention leaders. They had hoped to dodge the issue in the platform, but this does not seem pos sible now. It probably will provoke a fight on the convention floor.
 Meanwhile Smith workers were jubi, lant, feeling that this display of hostil- ity to the klan would react against the California candidate materially. Underwood workers were flirting az gressively with the Smith people, hoping to pool their strength and stop McAdoo and then, in event Smith cannot be nominated, to inherit his following.
 Judge David Ladd Rockwell, Me Adoos manager, was undismayed by the anti-klan outburst.
 II expect to see Mr. McAdoo nomi- mated Saturday." he said. "The dele gates are in no temper for an indefinite deadlock. The whole atmosphere of the convention shows that the McAdoo lines are intact and that he has much reserve strength"
 After Senator Walsh had made his speech and received a signal demonstra. tion, the convention swung into the business of placing candidates in nomination.
 Alabama was called first and Forney Johnston, a small, unimpressive person, took the platform. Delegates sat indif- ferently through his speech until he attacked the Ku Klux Klan, mention. ing it by name.
 Instantly the convention was in an uproar. Delegates who a moment be. fore had been flaming themselves into

TAGGART VISITS
 HIS FRIEND M'ADOO

NEW YORK, June 25.-Thomas Taggart paid his first call to a can didate's headquarters this morning, leaving the convention to see McAdoo at the Vanderbilt hotel.
 When Taggart returned to the hall, he said he had just been paying a so- cial call"
 I've always liked McAdoo," he said, ''so went over to see him today. I am going to see Al Smith this after noon."
 Customary rumOrs of new alliances flew about the hall when it was learn ed Taggart had been with McAdoo, but Taggart denied them.
 "Ralston to the end,' he said.

CHAPTER XXXEI
4 Talk With Manning

II OR a time the shock of the accident to
II little Dick Saunders drove all thoughts
of anything else out of GlOria's mind.
Nevertheless, although she hardly
aware of it, her work at the studio began
to improve. Once more she became sensi-
tive instrument for Manning to play upon;
she responsive, steady, and the pic
t1re, Woman Eternal" progressed, Man
ming decided to discard the first scenes he
had shot and take them over again.
He announced this to the company one
morning, and later in the day Gloria sought
him out in his office.
He looked at her keenly and saw that the
bored look was gone from her face, she was
interested, enthusiastic and yet when her
features were in repose, there was haunt
ing sadness about them that made Man
ming thoughtful
"Mr. Manning, you don't know how
ashamed l am" she began. "Those crit
cisms of my last picture, they must have
/ madeg you furious with me. l know it's all
my fault I haven't tried; somehow l didn't

seem to matter. And you are spend
ing all that money to retake the first/scenes

Manning gave it to her straight from the
shoulder. 81 thought for time that you
were heading straight for destruction.

would be a failure and it would have been
if you had continued as you WereE
Il know it," GIoria's tone was almost
humble. 1T was a poor way to repay your
kindness to me, but I do realize that if it
hadn't been for you I wouldn't have had
chance"
"Nonsense! A girl with your determine
ton to succeed would have made chance
for herself sooner or later. I'll admit that
I didn't see much in you at first. / was
against the idea Of casting you to play the
lead in Stranger Souls, but TempletOn in
sisted. You owe your success to him, If
you owe it to any one, not to me"
A wave of emotion surged up in Gloria.
1t seemed to her suddenly that she hadn
thought Of TempIeton for days, and now
the old resentment. the old hatred were
seethfng in her once more. SO she owed
her success to him. In spite Of the fact
that she had stolen the picture from him,
Manning felt that Rolf had given her the
first chance.
Il hate nim hate him" ran her
thoughts, and the heat of her emotion was
so great that it seemed TO shrivel her She
could feel her features contract. and in
Voluntarily her fists cIenched until the
nails bit into the palms.
Why hadn't she worked harder? Why
had She allowed herself to slip back? The
release OF stranger Souls" had brought
her triumph and humilia,ed Rolf. while now
the situations were reversed, and the critics
spoke Of her as a flash in the pan, while
