If* I, By Til# AtfvtiK*)
New York, July ? Tin* delegates
Lave l>c mi 11 to "walk uul" on the'
Democratic nhow at Madison .Square
<iarden. They have two complaints.
One Is that lif ?? in N? w York city l,s
entirely too hectic. The other Is that
the old money is giving out. It.
seems to them they have beeu here!
for uges.
The ?v? raae vixit to New York i i? I
times of normalcy Is seldom moivj
'than ? Week.* Therefore, it i* not
surprisinn that I hw*-? hUtoUiL? Uv._a_l
gi-in-ral exodus at this time.
. It wan the Nam*' at San I'ranciscoj
four years ago. The. New York d? le-l
nation was about the first to leave!
ilu convention llat on its bat* k at the
Cotdi'ii (iatc. In that instance the!
New Yorkers could not bear b? in- I
nriir frnin llrtMnlwiy *??v tone.' r. I
So it all depends upon tne poiui 01
view. With the uuit rub* in effect |
in so many state delegations it is
not necessary for all the ?!??!? uates to
remain to the bitter end. New York,
fnr instance has V"U^ in this con
vention. They have always been
cast as a unit hv one individual.
Consequently, why have more than j
one delegate present?
There lias boon some confusion
among tho delegates and spectators
over seemingly opposite rulings <>f
Sonator Walsh, tlio permanent chair
man. It has appeart-d to the unini
tiated that on one occasion Sonator
Walsh lias uphold tho nnlt rule and
In another caso has smashed it. As
a mattor of fact apparently conflict
ing decisions have boon on entirely
svpara'to questions.
For tho first 15 ballots Florida
had boon voting as a unit for Wil
liam liibbs McAdoo. Then Dologato
Gilchrist announced that ho wanfolT
to vjytto for A1 Smith and intondod
to do bo. Sonator WalsTT" uptrrW
him, for it was shown that while the
Florida delegation has boon "in
structed" in the primary for McAdoo
thoy had not been bound by the unit
rule.
Iii other states the delegates liavo
boon iiiHtructod to vote as a unit on
all questions. In other words if the
delegation stands 11 for McAdoo and
0 for Smith, the entire 20 votes
must be cast for McAdoo.
Chairman Walsh very pertinently
has held that if every state should
"instruct" for some different candi
dal- and no one ever was permitted
to break away from the instructions,
there would be no chance on earth
ever to nominate a candidate. The
permanent chairman, who seems to
" i"?-? nnvnt Jnh nn 'Mf
allowed it was a difficult task as it'
Is.
Delegate Gilchrist created a laugh
-When he beuan his argument. Ho
addressed the convontion as:
dies and mera~uien." A number of
delegates thought he said "near
nien," and hoc-hawed accordingly.
The most popular tune of the con
vention Wednesday was "Keep the
Home Fires nurning." The boys
hope to get home before the harvest
moon arrives.
The galleries at Madison Square
Oarden revert to type every now and
then. The garden is mostly used for
prize fights. Therefore the audience
generally is in a mood to look down
upon gladiatorial conflicts. That is
why the galleries call for "Bryan,

generally does.
This convention was not as far
apart on the Klan and anti-Klan is
sue us the vote on naming the Klan
in the platform would seem to in?1 i -
cute. The plain facts are that the
in aT "majority of -the d?-l?-Ka4* ->uui
outspokenly against 'the Klan, hut
tfn y could not "go along".. with the
"radicals" who iriVtsrni that ? -fin*
name Kn Klux Klan should be spe
cifically denounced. The bitterness
of the light grew out of the fuel that
the radical nnti-Klan-ner* mancuverd
themselves into a position ' froip
which it was difficult to withdraw.
They annoujifed at the beginning of
tit'- KM'UggU' lli.it tin Kin n nnivt hi
named. Therefore they felt that if
the Klan was jiot named it would
consider that il hail won a victory.
The anti-Klan plank in the platform
as adont ed went much _J urt he r than
most ?f the aTJti-Kianners believed It
would go before they came to New
York. Hut having set their goal up
on the naming of the order, they had
to light to the last ditch for that po
sition.
What may be termed tlio^'ccono
tnlc chance" of the Klan fight In the
I convention, with all lt? attending
fireworks and publicity for the hood
ed order, have begun. On Tuesday
night In a neighboring New Jersey
county more than 400 men worn In
ducted into tho Klan with semi-pub
lic ccremonies.
The Louisiana and the Mississip
pi delegations have come to be
known in the convention? its -the
'?maverick*." The Louislanans were
-I4?u first to stroll all about the res
ervation. They voted for half a doz
en different aspirants -before Anally!
settling down in tho John W. Davis I
camp and remaining there. The Mis
sissippinns voted at first for I'at Har
rison. Then they began to ramble i
after the fashion of Louisiana. Alsoj
like Louisiana, they finally settled
under the Davis banner.
During the first 10 ballots of the
convention the greatest gain was
made by one of the darkest of the
durk horses ? Senator Walsh of Mon
tana. Senator Walsh started with
