that this convention will never yield to

"W. G. McADOO."
Immediately after the reading of
the McAdoo letter an attempe was
made to adjourn and it first was de-
feated on viva Voce vote without a
roll call.
When McAdoo's letter was read
to the convention he stood almost
exactly even with Governor Smith
after two weeks of bal!oting. McAdoo
had $685.. votes and smith had 1853

should go, but some of the prominent
McAdoo people were DUsily attempt
ing to transfer the McAdoo strength
to +. Il. Meredith, of Iowa, former
secretary of agriculture in President
Wilson's cabinet.
But while the balloting had been
going on the tide of convention for

upward for John w. Davis of West
Virginia as they went down for Rails

Adoo release of delegates was all

at 21O votes, its highwater maSS.
The question to be determined was
whether the McAdoo strength now

A motion to adjourn until morn

ballot, and then Mrs. Frank Il. Luz
cas- of Ponca City, Okla, offered a
resolution to abrogate both the unit
rule and the two-thirds rule. With
out a roll call it was rejected by
what appeared to be an almost un-
animous vote. r
The next resolution came from
Hawaii. 1t was offered by n. D.
Godbold and provided that the con-
Vention remain in continuous ses-
sion until nomination for the presi-
dency had been made. There was a
loud response on both sides when
the question was put and Chairman

a peremptory whack, announced
that the noes have it."

| Then a study of the other candidates
was started.
1t was pointed out to McAdoo that
his chances of winning the nomination
under the two-thirds were poor and
that the best he could hope for in the
existing situation was to name the cam
didate. He also was advised that II he
withdrew gracefully he might be in a
position to be a candidate later.
