ope hundred and three times the great
hall' had rung with that about. ?ev
enty-seven times 'lip to Saturday night,
and.it started again on Monday morn
ing, for the committee that, had been
named oQ Saturday for the purpose of
; effecting some , sort of a compromise
? ?-'-?--'eeri. tlje contending candidates
b??en unsuccessful, and there
seemed: to be no .hope for a solution
' of the difficulties in -which the Dfsmoc-x
racy of the ijiltlon found Itself.
But tjie^reak came #t ,1a sf, and on
\ the one' hundred and third ballot John
W. Davis of West VirglWa was named
1 Ija'the standard-bearer of the party.
Bis selection marked the conclusion
? V: of thy greatest tight In American polit
ical history. It was followed by- the
?flection of Gov. Charles W. Bryan, of
? Nebraska, for" sccond place' on the
ticket, and the history-making gather
ing was at an end, after belhg In ses
sion tor 10 days.
Monday, July T, wns a day of false
At the close of the eighty*
1 aecond bullot absolution was adopt
ed releasing the delegates from any
instructions, and . that \vas expected
to bring about a'preak. It did, but
It did not result in a nomination. ,tt
brpught the McAdoo vote tumbling.
' from 1511 to 388 when the convention
adjourned nt night. . 1
H?*?,' Tuesday ? brought no ray of hope.
In the - uf ternoon Governor. Smith and
Mr. McAdoo got together,' but Mr.
McAdoo refused at that time to re
lease his delegates, and , Governor
Smith would not withdraw 4o long as
' Mr. McAdoo remained In the race. The
fruitless balloting continued through
the day session, and up to the nlnety
' ninth, completed at 2:15 Wednesday
morning. At that time Mr. McAdoo
reienae^hls delegates, and on the one
hundredth ballot his vote dropped to
? lea AftMffiiit ballot the convention
adjourned 'until noon, on Wednesday
In an effort to get together on some
dark horse.
<> The one hundred pnd first, and the
one hundred and second- ballots -.did
? not indicate anything more than the
elimination of both Smith and McAdoo
from the race., Alabama, leading the
fdll call of states, continued to cast
Its 24 votes for Underwood, but there
was a drift In both ballots to Davis.
; ? At, the one hundred' and third bnllot
Alabama again started '.off with ,"24
. totes for Underwood," but'lt wins soon
demonstrated that , Davis, was . going
' strong. Before the ballot wns com
' jfjeted he had* more than a mnj^rjty,
end then the delegations began Chain
ing their vdtA ia\order tto get Into
the band wagon. Before thft result
??- ?#' the' ballot was announced'lt was
' * 'ino'V^d to nvfte the nomination, by ac
^y -'"?iainiition, and It went through; w(th a.
whoop, to be followed hy a demonjttrn
tion lasting several nrtnutes.
The night session of Wednesday,
fallowing the nomlnatjori of a condl
date for "the Presidency, was In the
, nature of a Democratic lovefeast. It |
V>f tM,. addressed by Governor Smith,*
Governor Cox, ttie- Democratic nomi
nee, MK Davis, and several others. At*|
.midnight the convention recessed for
one .hour, at the end of the recess one
, ballot was taken for the vice presi
dential nomination, - and the conven
tion adjourtied ' shortly before three
?'clock Thursday -morning.
The contest In thp Democratic con
. ventlon broke all records and all pre
* cedents. The greatest numher of hal
?. lots that had ever, been cast In n po- ]
i* , llttcal. convention before was that of
the Democratic party in 1800 at
Charleston, when 57 ballots were cast
In ihat city, and the convention was.
then .adjourned to Baltimore where
f- *" two additional ballots were taken, re
> < sultlhR \n the. nomination of Stephen
y A. Douglas. The recent convention 1
sets a re<^rd thnt Is not likely to he
equaled, at least not In the present
generation. " f
It broke all precedents In that the
campaign of the leading candidates
were conducted by principals and hot
hy manager^ Mr. McAdoo and Mr.
Smith were both on the ground; they
were within 100 feet of the entrance
to the convention hall, and within fiO
i feet of each other, and from these,
points of vantage they directed their
own campaigns and were their own
political Htutegists.
Back of It all, lay the sMIdow of
, the Klan. The fight over the Klan
plank In the platform hnd engendered
i an Intense feeling on the port of the
two contending factions, the one let'
" fcy Governor gmlth and the other hv
Mr. McAdoo. When on Monday. Jnnr
M, Ike first ballet was taken. It
CAar/ps> U/3/yar^
? dii
showed Mr. McAdoo with tlie greater
number of votea, but with Governor
Smith controlling directly or Indirect
ly at least a good third of the dete
gatea. Neither of the two leaders
could be nominated unless the other
gave way, or unless one could break
the aeemingly solid phalanxes of the
other. 'It was under such conditions
that both took personal command of
their forces instead of leaving the di
rection of tlie-cfmpalgn In the hands
of their managers.
Other* in Limelight
Aside from 'the two leaders, there
were, as serious contenders for the
nomination. Senator Ratston, backed
by .the solid Indiana delegation; Sen
ator Glass, backed by Virginia; John
Wi Davie, backed by( West Virginia1;
Ex-Governor Cox, backed by Ohio;
Senator Salisbury, backed by vthe six
votesL of 'Delaware ; Governor Ritchie,
backed by Maryland; $en*tor Underv
wood, backed by Alabama. Other
favorite sobs that had been entered
In the big race dropped by th\ way
side, but those named above stuck for
ballot'after ballot, with tbelr managers
expecting that some one of them would
eventually be picked as the compro
mise candldte. They realized the In
tense feeling that had arisen between
the opposing camps of the , leaders,
and did not believe It good political
strategy to side 'with either, each one
hoping that . In the end fheir candi
date might draw from both sides when
the break came.
On the pbty of. the two leaders ev
ery plan known In political campalgrt?
lng was used to Influence, delegates.*
There was ail abundance of the usual
demonstrations, long and noisy. 'There
were dire threats and earnest plead-*
Ings to kttract support. Those dele
gations that Were not directly In
structed, or not definitely committed
t<Tkome one candidate, "would occasion
ally switch to or from one >r the olh
?*' of the leaders. Thl^ was especial
ly true as It applied to Mr. McAdoo,
and because of this his vote fluctuated
from a little over 400 to as high as
530. GoV.ern rft Smith's vote remained
more nearly stationary at between 315
and 868, but that and others, that
would . go to him on a " break, was
enough to prevent a nomlnutlon .of
any other candidate. , ,
On - Wednesday afternoon Mr.
Bryan, asking for consent to explain
his vote as a member of the Florida
delegation, attempted to stampede the
convention for McAdoo, but It did not
Succeed, and the monotonous round of
ballots continued without material
change. On Friday afternoon, after
H6 ballots had been taken, an effort
was made to suspend the rules and
^permit the leading candidates to ap
I peaf 'In person before the convention.
It^was opposed- largely by the McAdoo
delegates and failed of "the needed
two-thirds vote. Then Franklin D.
Roosevelt astfed that the convention
extend an Invitation to the Democrat
ic governor of New York to address
the delegates. Again It meant a mis
pension of the rules, and while the
,move was cleverly made, and re
fusal would put the ponventlon In the
position of being discourteous to Its
Democratic ? host, ? U^_joo, was voted
dpwn. Without queh an Invention no
candidate could get a personal hear
ing. Friday evening Mr. McAdoo sent
a letter to the convention asking that
the delegates give unanimous consent
for Governor^ Smith to address them.
Several objections were made, and the
consent was not given. Again a clev
er political move had fnlled.
? Outside of the convention hall the
leaders of the. party, fhose not Im
mediately connected with the candi
dacy o( the two leading candidates*,
were making Istrcnuous efforts to
lirenk ^the deadlock and patch up the
differences the flglit had aroused, j
They pleaded, they commanded, they
tried to' get the other candidates to
withdraw that the leaders might soon
determine Just where they stood In n
flnal analysis, hut without success.
And then on Friday afternoon Sen
ator Ralston' wired ji withdrawal of
his nnme. and his delegation spHt 20
for McAdoo anil 10 for Cox. A little
later Vx -Governor Cox' did the same
thing.* and the Ohio delegation
switched over to ex-Secretary Riiker.
A solution had not been found.
On Saturday the Ohio defecation
dropped Raker and split between va
rious candidates, giving Governor
Sml|h 21 votes, the others going to
those 1n the "also ran" class.
Gave- Credit to Democrat*
It was very evident that the keynote
speaker. Senator Put Harrison of Mis
sissippi. was not favorably Impressed
with the Republicans and what they
had been doing during the past three
year*. and he did not hesitate to say
so In plainly understandable terms.
In the main he centered on the varl
'?o? Investigations and what, he sold.
?
? C M ATM UK- V ' W
were tt\e results nclileved. For those
acts of congress to which he could
give approval he claimed full credit
for the Democratic party and what
he referred to as the progressiva ele
ment lri the Republican party. For
the majority element In the Republican
.party he had no single word of com
mendation. Rut no one was very much
surprised at all of that, as no one
had expected htm to commend the
enemy. That was not what Ke was
there to do. Even Congressman The
odore Burton, the Republican keynoter
at Cleveland, who attended the Demo
cratic show as a guest, did not seem
to take any serious offense at what
was said about himself and his Re
publican colleagues.
It did not seem that Senator Har
rison had overlooked anything that
could- be said In opposition to the Re
publicans, but along came the perma
nent chairman, Senator Walsh, on
Wednesday, June 26, ' with a new
list of charges, or at least a
hew vocabulary. While "he spoke"
the sun streamed down upon the
glass roof of the convention hall
and turned It Into a bake oven, but
his denunciation of the political en
emy caused the delegates to fofget,
for the time, their differences over
platform planks and favored candi
dates. They shed .coats and, in 'many
cases, collars as well ; the;' displayed
black and green "and blue "galluses,"
and despite the heat enjoyed to the
fall everything the leader of the oil
Investigations .gave them as first-hand
Information. For It all they paid him
to the full In convention coin ? a long,
a loud, a terrific demonstration.
When the delegates assembled
on Saturday morning, June 28, it was
with the expectation -that they would
receive the report of the resolutions
committee. But that was not to be.
For 80 Rmg and almost continuous
hours the committee, headed by Homer
S. Cummlngs, had labored over Its
task, and the stumbling blocks It had
struck were Klan and League of Na
tions. OjUlhg latter subject Ex-^ecrg
tary of War Baker was leading the
fight to a straight-away declaration
In -favor of the League, and wourd be
satisfied with nothing less, but he was
In the minority. Tlvpt did not repre
sent a serious situation fpr the purty,
but the other subject, ? that of the
K^n, did. There seemed to be no
grounds upon which to compromise,
and at the end of 80 hours of labor
the venerable leader, William J. Bryan,
dropped to his kfcees In the committee
room and asked the members of the
committee to Join with him in asking
Divide guidance In their hour of dlfift'
culty.
The resolution Mr. Bryan favored,
and for which he had worked through
' the long hours, contained a plank on
the subject of religious liberty, and
condemning .secret orders that "were
opposed jto the provisions of the Con- ?
stitution, but it did not nnme the
Klan. That was the plank that was
written Into, the majority report of the
committee. But It was not satisfac
tory to a large element In the pnrty.
Governor Smith announced that he
would withdraw from the contest .for
the nomination if the party attempted
to straddle the subject. William R.
l'attangull. Democratic candidate for
governor of Maine; Rttinhridge Colby
of New Jersey, former secretary of
staae; Joseph A. Kellogg of New York,
were among other lenders that were
backing Governor Smith and his fol
lowing.
Fight Over^ Platform
The committee dlh not report until
after three o'clock Saturduy afternoon,
anil then they gave to the convention
both a majority and minority report
on these two planks. The threatened
dissension In the party had been car
ried from the committee Into the con- ?
ventlon to be fought out on the floor.
The League plank was the first point
disposed of. Kx-Secretary Baker made
an Impassioned appeal for the minority
report, and for two hours the subject
was debated, but In the end the con
vention voted ,133 to 74 2 In favor of
the majority.
The same people who had foaglit for
a definite denunciation of the Klan
In the resolutions committee led the
tight for that when It was taken to
the floor of the convention. William
Jennings Bryan, and Senator Owen of
Oklahoma mode the appeal for the
adoption' of the majority report. Mr.
Bryyn. In pleading for such a plank
as would. In his belief. Insure pnrty
unity, said: "The Catholic ehurrh
does not need the defense "f nn.v po
litical party, and the Ku Klux Klan
1 does not deserve the advertising." At
tile close of two hours of Intense de
hate the roll of the states was called
: and the vote resulted In .V10 for the
I minority report and M.I scalnst It
By the close margin of four votes De
I mocrsCT failed to mention the Klan
I by name In Its platform.
