Wreath Of Lilies Tells That Death Has En-
 tered White House

WASHINGTON, July S.--A wreath of white lilies, bound in green and white satin ribbon and hung on the front door of the, White House, tells that death has again entered the execu- tive mansion and that Calvin Coolidge, Jr., lies in immortal sleep.
 The Presidents home Tuesday night was just an ordinary, normal American home, saddened and subdued by the death of one of it's members. The pass ing of young Calvin Monday night aft CT a Trojan-like battle for his life against the deadly septic blood poison, was tragedy of private family.
 Window shades of the executive man. sion were drawn. Police guards about the grounds spoke only in a whisper. A continuous stream of friends of the grief-stricken parents drove ito the White House door and silently placed their cards and expressions of sympathy upon n silver plate held by an erect and solemn negro servant.
 The White House Is 1acened with flowers sent by friends of the parents of young Calvin. Automobiles contin- ued to carry floral pieces to the man sion at a late hour Tuesday night. Y Inside the mansion mother and father and brother watched over their beloved dead. Tired and worn by a fiye-day vigil at his bedside, the Presi. dent, Mrs. Coolidge and their surviving son, John, all are reported as meeting their loss and standing the strain with Characteristic New England fortitude. President and Mrs. Coolidge, as any mother and father of their type, bore up and met the situation. They were calm and brave and none other than those close to the household saw them. {.

M'AD00 RELEASES ALL PLEDGES
THE SITUATION
BY FREDERICK I. THOMPSON

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN NEW YORK, July g.
 The democratic party being subjected to fire and crucbe National issues being obscured The opportunity of great party deliver the national government from control of the republican administration may be passing.
 To end republican msrue is national necessity; to bring the government back administration in under standing of human rights an obligation of high import to restore the eersonan principle that those who governed shall be the be neutrazed by personal ambition and special privilege.
 Outlawed banditry represented in the saloon in American e raises its head strike down party of prn cple and public morality States in the control of machine politicians, operating for spells and not from principle which in national elections give aid the demo- cratic party sit dominant and in arrogance and contemp uous disregard to great national party: Our destruction.
 The national convention is neither McAdoo Smith; Robinson nor Underwood Baker nor Glass. It is dry in
 its sentiment and preponderantly moral in its intent Is against the return of the saoon gused under Vostead
 modification it against reaction; against that species of invisible government bold and blatant personfed by the republican party and it is against machine rule and boss control.
 The pulse of this convention is the of all these things is for the strengthening of the prohibition laws of America It Is for wider opportunity for the and who tread the path that leads not auence but the ordinary right to happiness and of human comfort holds to the purest of democratic doctrine doctrine that from the fountain of Jefferson that all created equal and that the insured them equal opportunity in the pursuit of liberty and free dom from control
 solemn before the democratic convention after
 uess hours of effort to bring these potent issues lcusion clear in understanding and specific in its com tprehenscn Cnsed in whatever way the adrot politician may garb it, sugared with empty phrases that but seek conceal their purposes the light that filters through Ithe dome of Madison Square Garden merely servesr- tighten the way
 Through it all Alabama has remained steadfast to its candidate The submergng of individual judgment by the delegation and loyalty evidenced by its members brought from Senator Underwood the expression that candidate ever had loyal following of his standard At this hour the expected following from the Senator Underwood has not materazed, but there has been no wavering in Alabamas ranks If the break in the line of the Smith -McAdoo forces is impending as forecasters prophecy, Underwoods real opportunity may come any But that opportunity appears the knees of the political gods.

 Mir. McAdoo's letter was read to the convention by the secretary after the o9th ballot. It was addressed to Char man Walsh and began by expressing gratitude to those who had with such loyalty supported him. It added that the convention seemed to be unable to make a nomination under the two thirds rule, and that as a result party success was imperiled.
 T feel that if I should withdraw my uame from the convention" the letter went on. T feel that l should be un- true to the many people who have sent delegates here to support me.
 To His Friends
 Mir. McAdoo added that he was un- willing nevertheless to contribute to a hopeless deadlock and must leave the future conduct of tn candidacy to his friends:
 When the secretary read passage saving that McAdoo had made the fight for the defeat of the "reactionary and wet'' elements there were boos from the floor and galleries, followed by hisses which drowned out the reading. A motion to adjourn followed the conclusion of the letter and the viva yoce vote was so close that roll call was ordered.
 Text Of Letter
 The text of Mir. McAdoo's letter fol- lows:
 Dear Senator Walsh: am pro- foundly grateful to the splendid men and women who have with such ex- traordinary loyalty supported me in this unprecedented struggle for great cause.
 "The convention has been in session two weeks and appears to be unable to make a nomination under the two, thirds rule. This is an unfortunate situation, imperiling party success.
 T feel that if should withdraw my name from the convention 1 should be-

tray the trust confided in me by the people in many states which have sent delegates here to support me.
 And yet I am unwilling to contrib ute to the continuation of a hopeless deadlock. Therefore, I have determined to leave my friends and supporters free to take such action as in their judg- ment may best serve the interests of the party.
 To Continue Fight
 q have made this fight for the prin- ciples and ideals of progressive democ- racy and righteousness and for the de- feat of the reactionary and wet ele- ments in the party which threaten to dominate it. For these principles and ideals I shall continue to fight. hope that this convention will never yield to reaction and privilege, that the democratic party will always hold aloft the torch which was carried to such mo- ble heights by Woodrow Wilson.
 Cordially yours,
 wv. G. M'ADOo."
 Immediately after the reading of the McAdoo letter an attempt was made to adjourn and it was defeated on a viva voce vote with a roll call.
 When McAdoo's letter was read to the convention he stood almost exactly even with Governor Smith after two weeks of balloting. McAdoo had S53.5 votes and Smith had 353.
 While the balloting had been going on the tide of convention fortune had been sweeping the votes upward for John w. Davis of West Virginia as they went down for Ralston of Indiana and when the McAdoo release of dele gates was announced Mir. Davis strength stood at 210 votes, its high water mark.
 The collapse of the AIcAdoo fight came at the end of another dramatic
