DRAW UP PLANS

Cleveland, July 3.-Declaring that
neither the Republican nor the
Democratic platforms was acceptable
to them, the national committee IN
charge of the Conference for Pro-
pressive Political Action today drew
up plans for the convention OF the
organization in this city July and
5.
William H. Johnson, chairman OF
the committee and who will also de-
liver the keynote speech Friday, said
that there was no doubt but that a
national ticket would be placed IN
the field to run Independently.
"Virtually all of the delegates
here are favorable to the presiden'
tial candidacy of Senator Robert M
LaFollette and are insistent upon his
running" he said.
This sentiment was echoed by D.
A. H. Hopkins, chairman of the COM
mittee of 4s. Other leaders predict
ed that the conference would not
nominate LaFollette but would adopt
the platform which his followers
offered in vain to the recent Re-
publican convention.
Expect 700 Delegates
"The old parties have done ex.
actly what we expected them to do
and have really advanced our cause
rather. than their own," said Mr.
Hopkins.
Reports to the committee ind.
Gated. it was said, that at least zoe
delegates would attend the confer
ence. Arthur Holder, executive Sec
retary. was authority for a state
ment that 80 states had been organ
lied under the banner Of the con-
ference.
Only "true progressives. repre-.
senting reputable organizations" VIII
be welcome to the convention, 1t was
announced. To that end a creden'
tials committee was selected. charg'
ed with the duty of excluding com
munists.
Under this decision, the National
Farmer-Labor party, formed at st
Paul last month, will not be recog'
nixed here although the chairman Of
it's executive committee, William
Mahoney, is member Of the ma
tional committee as a representa-
tive of the Farmer-Labor party o.
Minnesota. He did not, however
attend the meeting but it was learn
ed that his status was discussed
/ by the members of the national com
mittee.

RALSTON OFFENSIVE is LAUNCHED
HOTEL BILLS
INFLUENCE TO
END DEADLOCK

New York, July 3.-Hotel bills
are working for everybody in the
Democratic presidential contest
in Madison Square Garden ad-
herents Of all candidates agreed
today as the balloting approach
ed the record-breaking point.
The mountain of bills received
the thoughtful consideration Of
scores of delegates and in many
quarters Of the hall the subject
has taken the place beside the
issues Of the convention.
From scattered quarters came
the suggestion that the cost of
living might do more to help
break the deadlock than the
more earnest pleadings of the
floor managers. Today was the
tenth since the convention as
sembled. Many Of the dele
gates already have been in the
city two full weeks.

Madison Square Garden, July 81
(By the A. P. )-Thomas Taggart
today launched his long heralded Of
fensive for the nomination of Raiston
of Indiana by the Democratic nation
al convention.
As the long succession of ballots
approached the half century mark the
Indiana leader began to bring from
under cover the votes he has been
holding out until he was Convinced
the leaders had been eliminated.
The first result was that on tho
49th ballot Ralston further crippled
the McAdoo strength by taking the
solid 20 votes of Mississippi.
The Indiana Senator also picked
up five in Illinois and one in Minne-
sofa, making his total 81 in place
of the 81 given him on a long string
of preceding ballots.
Taggart said he expected to ride
the boom for all it was worth, hop
didate on which the tightly dead
locked convention could unite as
compromise. At first the progress
was slow but Taggart did not ap-
pear to be discouraged. The defec-
tion of Mississippi, following that Of
Oklahoma which earlier in the bal
loting, swung over to Senator Robin
son of Arkansas, appeared to have
materially crippled the McAdoo for
ces who were fighting for majority
in the hope that they could put over
their man by abolishing the two
thirds rule. On the 49th ballot the
McAdoo total which had mounted to
500 last night, had fallen to 462 1-2.
Mean time Governor Smith was
holding his own with 800 votes
! and most of the other candidates
| were running along as usual except
for the gain for Robinson resulting
! in Oklahoma's departure from the
| McAdoo camp. While the voting
went on, w. G. McAdoo held several
| conferences with his advisers and
| carefully outlined a strategy which
he still insisted would result in his
nomination. He told his friends eff
forts should be made to make Smith
| forces disclose their strength and,
while he knew that the opposition
had little reservoirs of strength here
and there among the delegates, that
when the Smith showdown came it
would result in reaction.
| There were little informal confabs
in the convention leaders looking
to compromise. In this connection
there was talk of Ralston and Cum
mings. Friends of Robinson were
pressing his name in these confer
ences. Q
Pass Baltimore Record
Having passed the Baltimore re-
cord for consecutive balloting the
convention went on to the 47th bal
lot. 1t developed that Senator Glass
releasing his delegates, advised his
friends on the delegation to vote
for McAdoo. The anti-McAdoo men
on the delegation, in the majority,
contend that the delegation is In
structed for Glass and he cannot be-
queath it. They decline to permit
breakup at this time.
There was movement in the
Missouri delegation to give COM
plimentary vote on the next ballot
to former Governor Gardner. That
would involve q cut Of SO in the Nc.
Adoo strength, temporarily at least.
AS the convention went into the
4Sth ballot, McAdoo delegates re-
ccived q personal letter from their
candidate urging them to stick for
| a while.

COOLIDGE MAY
NAME GARFIELD
President Is Evidently Prepar.
ing to Withdraw StraWn
and Pomerene

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S:-Presi-
dent Coolidge apparently is prepar-
ing to withdraw from the senate the
nomination of Silas H. Strawn of
Illinois as special government coun-
sci in the oil lease cases.
1t is possible that the name of
Atlee Pomerene, Mr.. Strawns col
league. also will be withdrawn.
James r. Garfield, of Ohio, who
was secretary of the interior under
Roosevelt, may be chosen as counsel
in place of Mr.. Strawn.
Opposition has developed to both
of the men who had been selected
by the President. Senators have
declared that at least one of the
lawyers should be a man trained in
litigation over land leasing laws, Mr.
Garfield. who was called to the
White House today by MIR. Coolidge
is regarded by the Presidents ad-
visers as having the qualifications
declared.
The President does not desire to
subject Mr.. Strawn and Mr.. Pomer-
enc to embarrassment through fall
ure OF senate confirmation. He has
considered the possibility of sap-
pointing them special assistant at
torney general, for which no senate
confirmation would be necessary,
but has decided not to do so.
Ihe President is convinced that
the country, desiring a full and i'm
partial investigation and prosecu-
ton of the oil cases, would not be
satisfied to have the inquiry and le-
gal proceedings conducted solely by
those connected with the depart
ment of justice.
Chairman Lenroot of the oil COM
mitfee is urderstood to have inform
ed Mr.. Coolidge Immediately after
he returned from New York this
morning that there was slight possi-
bility of the confirmation of Mr..
Strawn and some doubt also was ex-
pressed whether Mr.. Pomerene
would be approved.
The question was talked over with
President Coolidge by Chairman
Lenroot of the oil committee and
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Re-
publican senate whip, and afterward
there was increasing evidence that
the committee would refuse to give
approval to one or both of the men
nominated as counsel by the Presi-
dent.
Meantime some of those intimate
ly acquainted with the trend of de-
velopments believe that voluntary
changes may be made in the Presi-
dents selections. precluding the
necessity of adverse senate action.
