Thumbs Down

Here the specific reasoning-dur-
ing the balloting Khan opponents
made vicious efforts to get Taggart
to swing more votes TO the minority
plank. But Taggart refused to come
through. Thus, there is thumbs
down for Taggart's candidate, the
ostensible grounds being that wide
ly published and denied story that
Ralston had been picked by the Khan
as the recipient of its votes as the
successor to McAdoo."
OF course. that is only part of the
picture. Taggart, himself still feels
that, after the early ballots have
shown a complete deadlock, the Khan
issue will be submerged and Raj
ston's stock pick up very sensa-
tionally.

Vote Is Taken-Wife
KeenIy Interested.

United States Senator Samuel NJ
"Hoosier Home" an interested radio
fan, listening in on the .balloting for
the nomination for President at the
Democratic national convention in
New York
The Senator. however, was no
more interested than was his wife,
who took time from canning cherries
to get the radio returns. Mrs. RAJ
ston made frequent comments on the
balloting and noticed gains or losses
by the various candidates.
Praises Leaders
Senator Ralston had high praise
for William G. McAdoo as one Of
the party progressives. He also
paid high tribute to Senator Oscar
Underwood of Alabama and Carter
Glass of Virginia He also com
mented on the activities of the So
called "Farmer.Labor" members of
Congress in both the Democratic
and Republican parties.
Ralston, in a recent statement, de-
clared the so-called Farmer Labor
or progressive" bloc had rendered
highly patriotic service to the Ma
ton.
Reporters Life Is Tough
After hearing results of the third
ballot, the Senator retired to his
study. Mrs. Ralston prepared de-
lectable luncheon for newspapermen.
It consisted OF sandwiches, salad,
fruit and milk. She carried the SEN
ator's lunch to his study.
During &he early morning Mrs.
Ralston was in the yard directing
a force of men in identifying the

CONTINUED From Page y

tire state to come to the relief of
stricken Lorain.
Bayonets Of National Guardsmen
bleamed among the ruins here. Wis
ible evidence of the martial law i'm
posed In the wake Of the storm to
check vandalism and the threatened
spread of smallpox.
As though artillery duels Of Fland.
ers had swept the lake front. trees
lay uprooted, houses were in tangled
heaps. roads were impossible and
church steeples had toppled. while
through the area Of destruction
wan.eyed relatives escorted by armed
soldiers, still sought piteously for
missing relatives aud friends.
Lorain bore the full brunt Of the
modern storm which hoped about
crafty Saturday evening striking
first Attica. then leaping to SandHs-
Ky, then TO LOrain and spending its
fury across the orchards of West
Dover and Avon.
Search Renewed
With the coming OF daylight to-
day, search for the bodies OF more
victims believed buried in ruined
buildings was renewed, while a list
of the injured being cared for in hos
pitfalls at Cleveland. Lorain and
Elyria had mounted to 800. How
many were treated in private homes
Is still impossible to estimate.
Property damage at Lorain
amounted to approximately $30,o00,-
900 while imposition Of curfew
showed some 5000 homeless.
Brig. Gen. ]. r. McQuigg, sta
toned with his Cleveland troops in
the public square here, was in mill
tary command of the city.
Seven were killed at Sandusky,
where the tornado, with an ear-spnt-
ting roar, cut a swath half mile
wide as 1t swept through the city
to the bay. Property damage there
was in the millions, with 200 to 500
homeless and a dire threat of fire
and pestllonce looming as a result Of
the gripping of Sandusky's water
supply.
Ohio Responds
All Ohio seemed to be contribut-
ing today to the relief fund and to
the stores Of clothing and provisions
which were pouring in by train,
truck and lake vessels.
White uniforms of sailors from the
naval cruiser Wilmington was con-
spicuously amidst the khaki of
the military and the denims of the
toiling rescue squads. There was
little pilaging during the night, which
was inky black, with strewn wires
and hopelessly tangled electric con-
nections making lighting impossible.
Rigid martial law orders were in
effect against vandals.
Dawn Sunday found weird evi.
dence of the tornado's pranks on
every hand. It had sent a huge 100
foot smokestack topping to slice off
| the rear Of the Lorain High School.
| Two hundred automobiles were
Tipped here and there for thirty Five
blocks along Broadway, some over
turned, some driven into the fronts
of office buildings and shops.
One of Lorain's new churches was
today nothing but a great heap of
brick and mortar. The steeple of
another had been hurled 100 feet.
On the city's main street the front
of an apartment house was shaved
off, laying bare the front rooms
without disturbing the furniture.
1t was estimated that the tornado
was blowing 100 miles an hour as
It struck here.

World View

Here is the way the present stu
alton is sized up by Charles Michel
son. well known world writer:
"As usual in a gang fight it is
the innocent bystander who gets the
worst of it. The innocent bystander
! in the case of Democratic national
onvention is Senator Samuel NJ.
9alston of Indiana, as gentle kindly,
Friendly a soul as ever lived.
Asa result of the bitter battle
eover the Klan plank on Saturday
McAdoo may be. and probably is,
out of a chance for the nomination.
Smith may be, and possibly is, in
the same position, but there is no
maybe about Ralston-it is genuine. -

BallOting Starts


Balloting began at 10:41. Ala
bama started off on the first roll by
casting "a votes for Senator Oscar
Underwood.
The Missouri delegation had to be
polled on the first ballot when objec.
ton was made by one of the dele.
gates to casting Missouris vote ua-
der the unit rule and giving McAdoo
a total Of thirty-six votes.
The poll of the Missouri delegation
showed McAdoo %, John w. Davis
3 and present but not voting. The
chair then recognized Joseph Shan.
non of Kansas City, the delegate
who protested casting the delega-
TONS vote under the unit rule for
McAdoo. He contended that the Nc
Adoo instructions were given "by a
trick" He was permitted five min
utes to argue his point.
Shannon declared that money had
been sent into the State of Mis-
souri, to get the Missouri delega ton
for McAdoo, when as a matter of
fact the great majority of the dele
gates 10 the State convention, which
instructed the delegates, were for
Senator Jim Reed.
Senator Frank H. Ferris of Rolls
then answered Shannon and de.
clared that every delegate for Nc.
Adoo was publicly committed to
McAdoo long before the State con
vention convened.
Senator Walsh finally said that the
unit rule should prevail and that the
vote of Missouri be recorded Sin
compliance with the wishes of the
majority of the delegation. McAdoo
thereby received the thirty-six votes.
William ]. Bryan was recognized.
