 Offensive starts
 The offensive against the McAdoo line began during the day yesterday as n sequel Of the concord reached by Sunday, the representatives of the other fifteen candidates on releasing their supporters and recommending the action taken by the convention after several more futile ballots free ing all delegates from pledges and in- structions. Before tho drive ended, the McAdoo column had lost Missis- sippi, Missouri. Kansas, Iowa. Okla homa, and Nevada, this total had been brought down 179ia votes from Saturday closing point, 1a6is from the high point 1t had reached on the | slSty-ninth ballot and 97ia lower than | it was at the beginning. |
 The smith captains made no great | effort to build up their strength. be- ing content to hold their own, within | striking distance of the veto power. | The delegations lost by McAdoo | went, in the main. to Senators Rals- ton and Glass. Governor Jonathan Davis of Kansas, Edward r. Meredith of Iowa, and Governor Ritchie of Maryland-favorte son stopping place apparently, until they made up their minds, along with the other un- decided delegates, which of the candidates was to be com promise bandwagon.
 The coalitions power became effective on tho S0th ballot and from that time. with few pauses, tore into fhe McAdoo ranks. At the start, Glass was given the dark horse Run" but later Thomas Tag sart of Indiana, and Senator Har- rison of Mississippi, who were main- Laining Compromise candidate head quarters near the auditorium, put in a little work for Senator Ralston. Their primary purpose, it was made clear, was 10 drive McAdoo into second and hold him there in an effort to demonstrate that it would be useless for him to remain in the ace. f
