Welding Should the McAdoo boom
collapse after several ballots. one
promise to which many McAdoo men
testify, is that Senator Carter Glass OF
Virginia would be favored.
Glass is acquiring much strength
in this respect, especially as many
-McAdoo men have been talking
of John W. Davis so much that the
West Firginian may truly be SAID
to be strong third. To weaken
the McAdoo votes. the anti-Mc Adoo
scouts are whispering praise of Da-
Wis. In fact, it looks now as If the
opposition to McAdoo may even try
to crush him by starting the balloting
for Davis early enough to bring him
up close to the former Secretary OF
the Treasury and even perhaps per-
hitting him to pass McAdoo. Davis
is not an active candidate here, but
he is being used as a weapon of at
tack. He has the strong and disin--
terested support of several delega
tions, but this is one of the reasons
why he is being held by the anti
McAdoo forces as a means of disinte-
grating the McAdoo boom. There is
a good deal of genuine sentiment for
Davis in the ranks of the McAdoo
followers, fact which the opponents
of McAdoo have been quick to capi-
taliZe.

of the McAdoo managers just now is

the word has been passed that if Nc
