party, scorning the democratic. organi zation and fiercely denouncing com munists, William H. Johnston, head d the machinists international union ant chairman of the conference for progres sive political action, today struck tn keynote of the convention of the latte organization at it's opening here. In dependence in politics rather than ; third party" movement was emphasized as expedient.
 Senator LaFollette was hailed as ''thI tribune of the American people, thei greatest spokesman and their most loya defender"
 The recent republican national con vention was referred to as "a lifeles gathering of political puppets th democratic convention as "a disorderlj mob meeting, which responded to bos control quite obediently in it's voting, and the communists as "tools of re action, who are constantly striving q destroy the American labor movement and create chaos in the ranks of tn progressives."
 Say 5000, GOO Represented
 Mfr. Johnston claimed the presen convention represents 5,000,O0 citizens and She said it's program was broaI enough to include the best interests q wage earners, farmers, salaried en ployes, professional independent bank CTS, manufacturers and merchants.
 He urged his hearers to strive for tn, election of genuine progressives in bot houses of Congress, as we'll as president and vice president.
 .asThere is no obstacle" he declared "to prevent our supporting independen! candidates for president and vice presl dent while we are engaged in re-electinl our progressive friends to Congress. re gardless of whether they are on th republican, democratic, socialist o farm-labor tickets.

any subject but adjournment and adop- tion of the platform.
 Deadlock Emphasized
 The developments of the days ses- sion merely served to emphasize the deadlock in which the two leaders find themselves.
 Realizing that some heroic measures must be taken to break up the in1passe, an attack on the two-thirds rule was being discussed again; and, when the convention adjourned, a resolution was ready to be offered proposing an aban- donnient of the unit rule. The prob abilities are that the unit rule and the two-thirds rule are so closely associated in their purposes and effects that they will have to be attacked together or let alone.
 Senator Ralsten of Indiana, with drawing from the race, was quickly fol- lowed by James NJ. Cox of Ohio. The thought probably was that the line of favorite sons which has been command ing quite vote might follow the ex- ample and give the convention a chance to make a solid choice between McAdoO and Smith. Nevertheless, Salisbury, Ritchie, Glass, Robinson and the other favorite sons remained in the race. Called To Order
 When the convention was called to order soon after the appointed hour the Rev. Paul Mansfield Spencer, of the Church of the Strangers, New York, offered the invocation.
 Then Mrs. William E. Mills of Hele- na, Mont, sang the Star Spangled Ban ner..
 A report that William J. Bryan had dropped dead, circulated over the coun- try, was disposed of by his brother, Charles w. Bryan. who declared that at 1 :15 o'clock daylight time) the great commoner had entered the hall with him, alive and we'll. As the next feature of the Inde- pendence Day exercises which opened the convention, August Thomas read the Declaration of Independence. He prefaced his reading by the statement that the document was not new ard that some of the delegates. might not be interested in it; but that for the benefit of the great listening audience on the air outside he detailed some of the circumstances surrounding it's com position by Thomas Jefferson.
 While reading was going on. William J. Bryan, himself. dispelled the exag- gerated report of his death by appear ing among the. Texas delegation and taking seat. .
 Norman F. Mack of New York de- clared to inquirers:
 There may be lot of backing and filing here; nothing may be done until next week."
 During the day session. there were five ballots, during which Governor Smith, at his greatest strength, boiled 33S1b votes, the most he has ever boiled at any time in the convention. Me Adoo's high vote during today's ses- sion was 495 votes. which was the highest he had mustered since the fifty eighth ballot. It was, however, ten and

 Still Remain The Law
Suggestion That Dark Horses Retire Held Pre-
 posterous By Johnston And Brandon

ance to Senator Underwood. The dele gation, as if anticipating the raising of the abolition of the two-thirds ma jority rule governing nominations, dis cussed that issue. Speeches were made by c. W. Ashcraft, Forney Johnston, Borden Burr. John A. Lusk, w. B. Oliver and others. Finally it was the expressed sense of the delegation that, irrespective of any views that it might holdS to the contrary, it was the busi- ness of the delegation to do as Senator Underwood desired, if such was con sidered by him essential to his can didacy. Z, .-s4
 It. was another instance in which the delegation, to the man. stood unflinch- ingly by the Underwood guns. The first and most notable was when the, dele gation yielded it's convictions regarding the Underwood insistence that the Ku klux Klan be made ansintegral part of the platform, and instructed by unani- nous action. Frederick I. Thompson, it's member of the platform committee, to vote for an anti-Ku Klux Klan plank in the sessions of the committee.
 :. Colonel Lusk,. in speaking of the two thirds rule, said the final word from the floor:
 We are HeT6 not to vote saS we, lH- dividually, might think wise, but. as Senator Underwood desires us to vote.
 Previously there had. been discussion of the merits of the. o-thirds rule as applicable in a general rather than a particular sense. The. fact was set forth that the two-thirds rule gave the south power in all conventions prac- tically to veto the nomination of man who might be repugnant to the south.
 At the same time, there is restlessness on the part of some members of the delegation. All of them have received telegrams in praise and criticism. Numerous suggestions have come from home" that, as the delegation had done it's duty to Underwood, it should now give attention to the party and the country, and bring about the nomina- ton of the right man." Some pleas have come that the delegation, after leaving Underwood. go to McAdoo.
 It is safe conclusion, however, that the delegation will remain firm unless Senator Underwood should give them back their pledges of support.

tBy Staff Correspondent

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 4.-Governor W. w.. Brandon, chairman of the Alabama delegation, and Forney Johnston, re- garded as the spokesmen of Senator Os- car w. Underwood, Alabama's candi- date for the presidency, declared this morning that the suggestion of managers for W. c. McAdoo and Alfred E. Smith that so-ealled dark horses" retire from the race in that a nomination might be made was preposter0us. j.
 Mir. Johnston said "It is safe to say that the so-called 'second-string' can didates, other than those who have re- tired, will not even consider the sugges- tion that they abandon the fight until the convention has had an opportunity to express itself conclusively as to its opinion of each of them
 For Many Reasons
 It is the prevailing idea that more of the dark horses are not, retiring for many reasons, chief among which is their belief that, as the convention is growing chaotic, lightning might strike anywhere. Another cause is the en- eouragement that William J. Bryan gave two of them, Senators Ralston anu AkOpAisOAiB WuCh llC uNNidLCd thCh worthy of occupying the White House !; and the chagrin of others. notably Sena- tor Glass. that Bryan failed to accord them similar praise.
 There has been obvious evidence of the intention of leaders to eliminate the dark horses" by giving them a run for their money.
 In other words. it is now demon strated that John W. Davie and Senator Ralston. having had their futile if not impossible booms, are done for. The Alabama delegation has endeavored to forestall any similar attempt to elim- mate Senator Underwood. The sena- tors spokesman. Mir. Johnston. has re- peated his former declaration that the senator did not want any support un- less it came prepared to stay for an indefinite period.
 Holds To Course

NEW YORK. July 4.-The demo- cratic convention today equalled the run of lightning and Abies Irish Rose but showed slight signs of closing here and sending out road companies. Several of the star actors retired from l the cast, including James M. Cox and Senator Ralston of Indiana, and refused to allow their names to be mentioned Tn the billing any longer.
 They took this stand on the ground l it hurts a players popularity and influ, ence to be identified for too long with any one show.
 There still remained too many names in the cast, however, including the two or thee chorus men who persist in try ing to grab the spotlight. Ways and means of getting these men out are be. | ing considered.
 It may be necessary to shoot 'em. Senator Ralston withdrew his name first. He explained that when he first consented to let him name be used he thought it was for this years election. OOVeTuOF OOX IdueU out d lGW miu- tetes later. He said he had a date to go down town next November to hear the election returns and couldn't hang around any longer waiting to see what the democratic convention was going to do.
 This convention has run out of min isters and is opening each session with ''repeaters."
 All of these clergymen seem good at opening conventions but what is need- ed is a minister strong enough to close one.
 Augustus Thomas, dramatist, and democrat. read the Declaration of In- dependence as the session began. It was new stuff to lot of delegates and to most of the spectators.
 Nobody challenged the accuracy of the document.
 As Mir. Thomas finished reading the historic document one delegate got out of bed and moved that it be approved and passed, in case anybody wanted to use it.
 It was so voted. =
 Chairman Walsh then read the dele gates something by Thomas Jefferson. He should have read something by Jo- seph Jefferson, preferably the acting version of Rip Van Wrinkle.
 There was a lot of reading but mo- body read any train schedules.

half short of his. high-water mark reached in the fortieth ballot
 Conferences during recess apparently had accomplished nothing. The days sessions development merely served to emphasize the deadlock, and the con vention reassembled for the. night ses- sion wondering what the next move was going to be.
 The first change today was in Illinois, where Smith and McAdoo each gained one, Ralston gained 2, John w. Davis lost 1 and Cox was eliminated from the Illinois vote.
 On the sixty-third, Indiana continued to stay with Ralston. Michigan changed her vote, going back to Senator Ferris for 2S votes and giving one to Smith was so busy chatting and apparently uninterested in the balloting that the change did not cause ripple. Missis- sippi then gave Ralston her 20.
 McAdOo Letters Distributed
 Today, as on previous sessions when the fight has been hot, each leader of McAdoo delegation on the floor re- ceived personally signed letter from McAdoo expressing confidence in the outcome and urging the MeAdoo dele gates not to become discouraged.
 In North Carolina, Davis gained two and a half, McAdoo and Underwood each lost a half vote and Ralston lost one and half.
 In Pennsylvania. McAdoo and Smith each gained one, Davis and Cox each losing one. :. On the sixty fourth ballot, Arizona gave to Robinson the one vote which had been going to Ralston. Illinois gave Cox five, taking four from RalstoT and one from Governor Bryan.
 Michigan made some changes which | involved a gain of half vote each 1 for McAdeo and Smith.
 McAdoo gained one in Nebraska, talk ing it from Smith.
 In North Carolina. McAdoo picked up a half vote from Davis.
 The Ohio delegation's AS were cast for Cox again while it was caucusing.
 Ohio Goes For Baker
 It became known that the Ohio dele gation in it's caucus decided to go for time of Newton D. Baker. former sec retary of war :: and, if he failed to de ve1op any strength, to go for a while to former Senator Pomerene. There were McAdoo votes in the Ohio dele gation, but such an arran~ement would prevent them from being brought out.
 With the withdrawal of Cox. the vote of Ohio was cast for Newton D. Baker. He had argued with the dele gates not to do so, but they insisted. McAdoo managers, expecting to get something out of the wreck of Ohio, looked much surprised.
 On the sixty-sixth ballot. the 24 for Underwood came from Alabama, as usual, but without the big voice of Gov ernor Brandon. The convention gasped in surprise. The governor had gone | ont to lunch.

Convention Once-Overs
By H. '. Phillips

when Cox retired. Nobody but a man with experience as Secretary of War with influence over the army and navy has the slightest chance of breaking up the convention.
 Brigadier General Cole of Massachu- setts took pity on the general public late in the afternoon.
 He introduced resolution to bar it from the night session.
 The move to keep them out was very popular with the spectators. But the delegates refused to pass it unless it was amended so they could stay out too.
 The amendment was. refused, the at titude being that the delegates should be shown no mercy.
 General Cole proposed to seal the delegates inside the garden and make them listed to speeches by each candidate or his agent. This was defeated by a roll call vote. It would have been stopped anyhow by the humane society.
 During the roll call vote on the reso- lution, when Alabama was called, its an- nouncer replied, Alabama casts 24 votes for Oscar Underwood" He had said this 64 times and is now in such condition that he had forgotten every other word in the English language.
 The delegates not being in the mood to listen to all the candidates, Franklin Roosevelt moved that they agree to lis ten to Governor Smith. They voted to let the governor stay home and play with firecrackers.
 This being a holiday the convention played doubue-header.

 Sheds Coat And Collar
 Dr. Schuler, fl years old and re- garded by churchmen as one of the most magnetic speakers of any denomination on the entire Pacific coast, was filled with the subject and soon had the con ference cheering, even though it proved later that the majority did not agree with him. His collar ecame unfaster- ed, the delegates shouted tv him to take it off. He continued his address minus the collar but with his cravat still about his neck. Precipitation appeared and the delegates literally forced him to re- move his coat. When he left the plat form with his collar in his hand and coat under arm he was given a rousing ocation.
 Debate Cut Short ~ The conference began the day by re- suming debate on the entire unification subject and shortly before the noon re- cess, realizing the discussion would con tinue for days if permitted, for no limit had been fixed, it adopted a res Hutton tO begin DauOtiHE dt Os Y.

In Ne1O York
BY STEVE HANNAGAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Auantic
City, watering summer resort of
the East. is suffering the worst
business depression in eleven years,
while New York is enjoying an ex-
orbitant summer boom.
New York. although never logical
ly considered as "A summer resort,
always draws enormous crowds Of
stghtseers during the vacation sea
son. People who in their youth
have vowed to see New York or
bust take their yearly two weeks
fun period to see the sights of a
great town.
But in New York their presence
is scarcely noted. They stop at the
more popular transient and side
street hotels, admitting they would
rather spend their money doing
things than spending all CT it for
hotel accommodations.
Yesterday l talked to four Indiana
girls making their first trip to New
York. In the winter they are en-
ployed as school teachers. They
were pathetically disappointed in
the city.
The f1ctional picture imbedded in
their grasping imaginations was de-
stroyed with reality. In the few days
they were here they scratched mere
ly the surface of things. They did
not have time nor opportunity to
delve into the places and things that
make New York interesting and
distinctive.
Thus many people make a sum-
mer vacation trip to New York and
return home to browbeat the city in
no uncertain term Probably it is
just as well
I know on my first trip here 1
decided it was the worlds worst
failure and that not one line of it's
advertised charms was a reality.
But now / have changed my mind.
I like it better than any city in the
land, excepting Lafayette Ind,
where I was born
The price for horseshoeing and
padding" will be increased 25 per
cent
This won't affect many people
