MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
July 7:--Missouri with her thirty-si1
votes slid to Senator Glass on ths
eightieth ballot, deserting the Nc
Adoo column where 1t had been vot.
ing under the unit rule.
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
July brushing aside the pending
proposals for suspending the rules
and to release delegates. the Demo-
cratic national convention today
went back to the dreary business o.
balloting for President.
The proposition of the fftoe2
candidates including Governor Sxdft
and the counter proposition ~ Il
Adoo were .repcrted9 nsatt9
to refer the proposals to the rules
committee, led by McAdoo men was
defeated by large vote. The effeot
of the move, which was beaten. was
that a report from the rules COM
mittee to eliminate the two-tl1frda
rule, could have been adopted by a
majority of the convention, whereas
a two-thirds majority now is re-
quired.
With that the convention went
back to the tussle and apparently 10
as stubborn and unyielding OH Nom
day morning as they were on Sat-
urday night.
1t started as usual with: "A-L-A-
B-A-M-A. Twenty-four votes for
UNDER R-W-O-O-D."
There was no change in the vot- 4
ing until Colorado was reached and
there McAdoo gained a half vote,
Smith lost one, Davis lost a half.
In Florida Smith lost one In Him
ois Smith gained five and McAdoo
was unchanged. McAdoo lost a half
vote in Maine.
Michigan rearranged its vote en-
tire1y going back to Ferris with sew
enteen and giving Underwood three.
IL took eight and a half from Nc
Adoo and five and a half from
Smith. Robinson got two from
Minnesota.
Then a resolution was offered BY
former Governor Gilchrist of Florida,
1t proposed that the rules be sus-
pended for the adoption of a resolu-
tion which in turn would adopt the
proposals embodied in the report Of
the conferees on the over Sunday
negotiations.
The proceedings were held up for
a moment while McAdoo leaders
conferred on the platform. A deIe-
gate wanted the resolution read
again but 1t developed the off1ciaI
stenographer had disappeared with
it. The reading was postponed until
the end of the next ballot.
The call of the roll then went on
for the seventy-ninth time.
The roll call developed little bu1
a challenge of the vote of the Canal
Zone six which had been voting for
McAdoo under unit rule.
On the poll three of the Panafna
Canal delegates cast their votes fof
McAdoo and three for Smith. The
challenge contended that there was
no unit rule imposed by the home
convention and that the delegates
should be permitted to vote their
convictions. The chair had ruled last
week that the delegation was voting
as a unit.
E. NJ. Robinson. OF Ancon, was
given permission to address the com
vention.
Robinson argued that the dele.
gates We're found to vote for Nc
Adoo. Chairman Walsh reversed his
previous ruling and ordered the
Canal Zone vote record three for
Nc Adoo and three to Smith
In the Massachusetts delegation
on the eightieth ballot the result
was announced by Governor Snlith's
son, Alfred r. Smith, Jr. He got 4
round of applause.
