Adoo had not yet been eliminated, and
that he had more than one-third of

futile. and the same may be said OF
the elaborate plans for the Smith

delegates are not the panicky kind
to be swept of their feet by fireworks.
They are controlled by small groups
of leaders whose combination of

into nomination in the end.
At the moment the McAdoo-Smith
