AND
DAVIS IN
FAVOR
Senator Wins Delegates At
fections West Virginian
Still the Leader
By WILLIAM HARD.

NEW YORK July 0.--The big
new fight impendina in this con-
vention today Is between John w.
Davis, Of West Virginia, and
Thomas ]. Walsh, Of Montana.
Walsh is the big new noise, the
cheering for him on the last bal
lot early this morning, as his vote
rose from virtually zero to sud
denly hydrocarbons half, had
note in it Of vivaclty, friendly
feeling, and even of affection,
which in no other case has marked
the applause for any other cah-
didate outside of McAdoo and
Smith.
McAdoo and Smith today, how
ever, began to seem historic. They
began to seem increasingly like
"reminiscences. The new love of
the delegates is undoubtedly Walsh.
Doubts Religious Issue.
The general opinion is that IL his
being Catholic did not raise the
issue Of religion he would stand a
strong and even sure chance Of
gaining the nomination.
Side by side with him, and numer-
ically actually beyond him. comes
another new candidate. Mr.. e. T.
Meredith, Of Iowa, who on the
last ballot early this morning was
given seventy.five and a half votes.
We now in this convention have
every important candidate that we
ever had plus Walsh and Meredith.
On the last ballot we even re.
gained some Of our minor and less
important candidates who had got
temporarily lost.
Salisbury, of Delaware, for in.
stance, commonly called 'the Rasp.
berry,, came back with his six
votes from Delaware.
Daniels, of North Carolina, came
back into the lions den with his
twenty.four votes from North Caro-
lima.

Everything is more cluttered than
1t ever was before, the outstanding

"But Sallie, what about the dance 2"
asked Father, pushing back his chair.
"Mr. Davis and are closely asso-

There's no use talking like that,
Father, and what do l care, if the

"Oh, very well then, Father, let's
not have a scene,' I concluded and
flounced out of the room-if one
