CLEVELAND. June 10-Af M
Landon of Kansas garnered so votes
for the presidential nomination on
the first ballot today at caucus of
the powerful Pennsylvania state
delegation.
Senator William E. Borah was
given Is votes.
Former Senator David A. Reed
voted for Senator Steiwer on the
first ballot. Senator James J. Davis
cast his ballot for Senator Borah.
Other candidates received the fol-
lowing votes from the 75-member
delegation: Steiwer, 4; Knox, 3;
Dickinson, 3; Vandenberg, l.
Either others indicated they would
vote for Landon on the second ballot,
or there were few absentees.
Balance of Power Tactics.
Leaders of three big State delega-
tions with total of 209 votes, carefully
watched the convention scene in the
apparent hope that their States would
be pivotal factors in swinging the
Presidential nomination tide.
The delegations in which the bal
ance of power tactics evidently were
being contemplated were New York,
with 80 votes; Pennsylvania, IS, and
California. A.
1t was conceivable that a swing
of major portion of the delegates
from the three States to Landon
might precipitate such landslide as
would give him the nomination on
the first ballot. But leaders of some
delegations we're in no hurry to an
nounce definite intentions, although
other members were reported to be
impatient to decide
Pennsylvania withheld decision at
a caucus yesterday.
Chairman J. Russell Sprague of the
New York delegation said the dele
gates we're impatient for a decision.
Some of them predicted as many as 10
Empire State votes would go to Lam
don on the first ballot.
A committee of 10 California dele
gates yesterday secuted the prospects
OF the leading candidates so a report
could be made at today's caucus.
Other caucuses of the day were
called to decide where to send Ala
bama's IS delegates and Arizona g
six. Caucuses yesterday sent 10 OF
Arkansas delegates to Landon, one
remaining doubtful; united Oregon
Washington, Idaho and Montana in
request for planks promising benefit
to the Pacific Northwest; and formally
put Vermonts nine votes and New
Mexico's six in the Landon column
Arizona's six votes in the Repub-
lican convention will be cast for Lam
don. The delegations decision was
made today at caucus.
The Puerto Rican delegation an
nounced simultaneously that the
islands two votes would go to Landon.

address the convention If they are

While members of the Resolutions
Subcommittee waited William Allen
White. platform spokesman for Gov.

He then went to the subcommittee
meeting room and called out former
Senator John Thomas of Idaho and,
turning to reporters, said:
The play is from Borah to White
to Thomas"
Il have just seen Senator Borah
I took him copy of the platform as
it stands now. Senator Thomas has
gone to see him and will bring his
suggestions to the committee.
If he so desires, the Landon forces
will move that he be heard in the
committee, and if the committee re-
iects his proposals we will move that
he be permitted to place his views be-
fore the convention.
Position Is Unchanged.
Thomas went Immediately to
Borah's hotel room, few floors above.
After brief conference he emerged,
declining TO comment
A few minutes later, Borah himself
came to the door to beckon in his
secretary.
My position is unchanged" he said
If my proposals are rejected, I want
an opportunity to defend them from
the floor of the convention"
He and White, he said. had gone
into that situation. He added that he
now had copy of the Landon plat
form. He had not yet examined it.
Borsh added. and planned to study
the document in detail.
In the meantime, he said, there was
no comment he could make.
White Favors Gold Plank.
White very strongly indicated that
there was no idea in the Landon camp
of plank urging return to the gold
standard as asserted by Senator
Borah.
After declining to discuss what the
Landon gold plank might be he was
asked what was his own idea of a
good money plank.
Well he said. II fancy that when
we get gold plank it will be the Lam
don plank"
He added that he didn't necessarily
have to approve of it in its entirety
and said he was "an old fashioned
man in favor of straight gold stand
ard"
MY idea Of good gold plank"
he said, would be the plank of 1896,
drafted by Mark Hanna"
What was that?"
