would do Justice to q town twice

the show and one can hear favorable
comments from almost any person
who saw the performances.
The horse races were especially
good this year; there were q num-
Der of, horses entered In every race,
there, was keen competition, and
none. OF the c were delayed as
10 often Is the case in many OF the
r0deo shows which are staged today.
The bucktng horses were full of
life and put up . great battle with
their riders. One might say that
too many men were entered in this
contest. Tor considerable time was
used W IN running off this n at

be made OF the calf and steer rop-

the Rawlins people had moved or
were moving over to Saratoga. The
road between here and Saratoga
covered with one long string OF
cars. The crowd the FIRST day was
somewhat larger than on the second
day hut this was because many per-

H|oinllaIlOn, senate Walsh declared
the convention in adjournment until
$3.50 p. m. to give him time for con-
sideration of the matter. 1t was
believed that he would be nominated
when the convention went into SEES
sion again Wednesday night.
on Wednesday morning the con
vention still stood at a complete
deadlock. There was a bare possi-
bilfty OF a settlement when a com
mittee comprising a representative
from each delegation met at noon
in an attempt to agree upon a com
promise candidate. During the night
three things had happened: McAdoo
released his delegates; Gov. Smith
challenged McAdoo to withdraw,
promising that he would follow suit:
Smith and McAdoo met for the first
time in a short conference at the
Ritz-Carlton hotel. Smith offered to
quit if McAdoo would do likewise.
McAdoo thought they should select
a compromise candidate and suggest
ed Ralston as the compromise man.
Smith refused to talk compromise
candidate so they parted without ac-
complishing anything at all.
When the balloting was resumed
the movement toward Davis gather
ed momentum and the succeeding
ballots gradually came his way un-
til the whole quota was turned uver
to him. This was the close of a
deadlock which had continued thru
nine days balloting. The strategy
which was used was conceived by
the Smith forces. They began to
give Underwood their votes after
McAdoo had released his delegates.
but it was learned that they were
also favorable to Davis. Their plans
were to get the McAdoo votes so
thoroughly committed to Davis that
they could not back away from him.
After the Smith factions had accom-
plished their ends, they dropped
Underwood and turned their votes
to- Davis SO fast that he went yer
without n thouble-the play had
worked perfectly.

SON
OF PRESIDENT
&. DIED MONDAY

NJ Calvin Coolidge, Jr., sixteen year
old son of President Coolidge died at
the Walter Reed army hospital in
Washington, D. c., Monday evening,
at 1890 from acute blood poisoning.
His death resulted from the spread of
the septic poisoning which was
caused by an almost unnoticed Bills
ter on his ofot which developed from
playing tents a week ago. He fought
a losing battle for five days before
death finally claimed him.
The White House, scene of many
of the nations SORROWS, became a
house of mourning Tuesday while the
whole American people, it seemed,
poured into it their messages of sym
pathy. A flag at half mast on the
White House and a white crepe tok-
en- of mourning on the door told of
the bereavement within.
President Coolidge bore up well
with his grief and friends of the
family said there had been no sign
of a breakdown by Mrs. Coolidge.
1t was on Saturday that the ven
omous nature of the infection was
definitely disclosed. The trifling
blister which was so little thought
of when it first appeared became so
painful on Saturday that Calvin Jr.,
was removed to the hospital where
every source of medical science
might be invoked to save his life.
He collapsed early in the evening on
Monday and the family gave up hope
for their youngest son. ii.
Not since Lincoln's time had such
a youthful member of a presidents
family been called by death, and new
err under more tragic circumstances.
A simple service was held at the
White House at four o'clock yes
teraay afternoon and another service
will be held at Northampton. Mass.
today with burial at Plymouth, YER
