 The convention voted down the proposed blanks for immediate pay ment of the soldiers bonus, Mur- rays economic proposal, McAdoo's proposal to consider methods to make safe deposits in banks of members of the Federal Reserve system, but hoped to include in the platform a plank expressing inter est of the party in human welfare work, particularly among children.
 This plank was proposed by Miss Caroline O'Day of New York; sever al silver blanks, and proposals for home rule for Hawaii and Alaska, and a number of scattering sug- gestions for economic programs, were in batch of proposed amend mentS which the chairman threw out of nearby window.

GARNER HAS NOTHING SAY ABOUT CAUCUS OF
 TEXANS, CALIFORNIA

WASHINGTON, July 1. (P = Speaker John N. Garner, a candi- date for nomination as the Demo- critic party's standard bearer in the coming November elections refused to comment on the caucus held in Chicago by the Texas and Cali fornia delegations which were both pledged to him.
 It was believed that the caucus of the two pledged delegations was for the purpose of swinging the votes of those two states to add to the number needed by Roosevelt for his nrmination. It was also hinted that ticket would be fix ed with Garner as the running mate of Roosevelt in the case the latter is nominated.
 Senator Hawes, of Missouri, pre- dicted that Roosevelt would receive Missouri's 36 votes and that RooSe- welt would be the nominee of the Democratic party when the bal loting is over.

NJ ONE NOMINATED
 AS RESULT OF THE
 FIRST BALLOTS TAKEN

CHICAGO, July 1, (P)-After a tumultuous night-long session, the Democratic convention fell into the tightening grip of a deadlock at dawn and took three fruitless bal lots for presidential nominee and tn n adjourned until tonight to think it over.
 Franklin Roosevelt was far ahead of the nearest rival and mustered a slowly rising majority with each succeeding ballot. Roosevelt, how ever, was unable to make the pro gress predicted toward the two thirds majority needed to nomin- ate. On the third ballot the official count gave Roosevelt 682 ballots; Smith 190; Garner 101; White 52; Traylor 40; Reed 27; Byrd 24; Richie g; and Baker eight. It would have required 768 on this ballot to nominate Roosevelt.
 On the second ballot Roosevelt had 67734; Smith 194A; Ritchie 2312; Byrd 24; Garner 91A; White 511a; Rogers g; Traylor ALA; Reed 18; and Baker 8.
 Alaska cast one courtesy vote for Traylor on the first ballot but then switched to six solid to Roosevlt on the second vote The Traylor vote was cast in behalf of Delegate Heath, of Ketchikan, who was not able to attend the convention and who sent a proxy with Kirk and Troy with the understanding that Traylor would get at least one vote.
 Roosevelt's managers are work ing like beavers among the weary delegates and had made inroads here and there by picking up votes by dribblets At the same time some of the Roosevelt states began showing signs of wavering under the pounding of a counter attack by the Favorite Sons bloc.
 Missouri, which was pledged to Reed collapsed and toppled most of it's votes into the Roosevelt Col umn; Wm. H. Alfalfa Bill' Mur- ray lasted but one ballot and when he released the delegates they di- vided their votes among other fav- orite sons-none of their votes went to Roosevelt.
 There are definite signs of agi- tation in the Texas and California delegations who are pledged to J. N. Garner with Roosevelt figuring as the most likely beneficiary should real break come inside of the Texas California circle. Convention leaders heard much talk of combination involving the vice-presidential nomination with Garner and McAdoo mentioned as possibilities with Roosevelt.
 An adjournment was made un- til 8:30 tonight but the leaders are carrying on into private conferences ! efforts to arrive at some breakdown i which will avert anything like the long deadlock of eight years ago at New York
