up as distinct third party" candi-
date, the United Press is authorita-
lively informed.
A telegram asking La Toilette to
express his wish in an open letter
for reading before the convention
was forwarded to him in Washing
ton this morning by William H.
Johnston, machinists union leader
and chairman of the convention.
Johnston will deliver his keynote
speech at the opening session to-
morrow.
The Ku-Klux Klan issue, which
split the Democratic platform, will
deal exclusively with a demand for
economic reformation.
The program of legislation for
which the progressives fought in the
last Congress will be embodied in
the declaration of principles.
1t will coincide almost completely
with the platform offered by Rep
resentatlve William Cooper Of Wis
consin as the minority report in the
Republican convention here in June.
Cooper Invited
Cooper. who presented the La
Toilette substitute platform at the
Republican convention and was
roundly booed has been asked to ap-

today.
Lower normal taxes, higher sur
taxes, Government operation of vital
public utilities, revision of the Esch-
Cummins act for lower freight rates
and Government aid for farm mar
keting will be demanded.
Unexpected enthusiasm is being
manifest by all the delegations here
as to the chances of La Toilette. Be
fore the rumpus in the Democratic
convention, leaders Of the La Fol-
lette movement planned only to
swing about five States and hoped to
throw the selection of a President

Mississippi Is Starter
After Mississippi had shifted tc
Ralston, giving the Hoosier his first
block of votes outside Indiana. his
home State. Senator Pat Harrison
head of the delegation, declared Mis-
sissippi was now home.
I'VE are going to stick to Ralstor
to the end, Harrison told the United
Press, He is the most available
candidate We are for him, Wher
we went to Ralston we went to the
home we've been headed for al
along Many other delegations are
going to come along with us before
long"
On the fftieth ballot Oklahoma
was polled and showed nine votes
for Ralston and ten for Robinson
Under the unit rule that gave the
States twenty votes to Robinson.
Iowa decided to take off the unit
rule for one ballot at least on the
ffty-frst, and it was disclosed no one
had a majority of votes. A poll OF
the delegation gave Ralston 4, Nc
Adoo 8. Smith s, J. w. Davis 312
Walsh y and Underwood z. The
vote was entered that way, jumping
Ralston's total to s.
The departure from the unit rule
by Iowa brought a great cheer from
the Smith and Ralston delegations
Voting previous to the switches to
Ralston had continued listlessly
practically without change.
On the forty-third ballot, the first
of the day, McAdoo dropped below
the 500 mark which he established
during last nights voting and polled
but 4SS 40. On the forty-fourth
ballot he gained a vote. On the
forty-fifth he lost it.
Smith held around his usual vote
with 319 1-1O. Davis polled II on the
first two ballots of the day and
gained three on the third. Ralston
scored 81.
There was practically no change
then until the forty-ninth.
New Record
When the f1ftieth ballot was taker
the convention was on the way to
ward equalling or SURPRISING al
previous records Of balloting IL
Democratic conventions. 1t alread!
had passed every past record will
the exception of that made in 1860.
That year the convention begaI
in Charleston. S. C. Stephen A
Douglas was the ultimate nominee
Fifty-seven ballots were cast a
Charleston, Douglas leading at th'
end, and then the convention
adjourned to Baltimore, where Doug
las won on the second ballot.
Smith held around his usual vote
with 319 ITO. Davis polled II on the
first two ballots of the day and
gained three on the third. Ralstor
scored 81.
The convention was proceeding be
fore practically empty galleries.
Meantime the delegates on the floor
were responding automatically tC
roll call. The cheering had departed
and chairmen of the delegations
arose and announced their votes ir
! hollow tones.
1t was apparent that at least NJ
one has any intention of making any
marked shift There was no appar
ent floor work going on by Smith o.
McAdoo leaders.
The delegates were discussing
their lack of sleep and the rapid re
ducing exercises experienced by theil

Resistance Expected

Meanwhile it was considered like
" that the telephone company
would resist in Federal Court any
attempt by the State to modify the
rates.
The entire situation was discussed
at a called meeting Of the public
service committee of the Chamber
Of Commerce at noon today. The
meeting was preliminary in charact-
er o. D. Haskett, chairman. said.
Wednesday the Merchants Associa-
ton named a special committee to
act with the Chamber of Commerce
committee. It is believed the two
committees will arrange a joint
meeting later, to which representa-
tives of other civic bodies will be
asked.
Business Men Meet
Members Of the Live Stock Ex-
change were scheduled to meet at

ly in favor of discontinuing all tele-
phone service and substituting some
other means of communication.
