McADOO RI SE WOULD DO AWAY WITH RILE Delegates to Ite I>eluged With Protests Against Two-thirds Requirement. New York. June 10. —V shrewd move to smash the two-thirds rule in the Democratic National Convention here next week and “put over” William G. McAdoo as the Democratic Presidential nonrnee has beeiu planned by the Mc- Adoo managers. The master stroke by which they hope 1 - 24' t—Ui McAdoo’s. way is a “popular propaganda” against the time-honored rule of Democratic conventions. With the rule abrogated, they believe McAdoo can command the necessary majority—sso votes —that would give him the nomination. At the appointed time before' the rules are finally adopted, according to the plan, McAdoo leaders in virtually every State will begin deluging delegates with telegraphic demands for the abrogation of the rule which they fear may prove fatal to his chances for the nomination. Leaders in the American Legion are said to he at the head of the increment to change the-rule. But the “popular propaganda” will come from rank and fife Democrats as well. This demand fr m "the people" is ex pected by the McAdoo forces to have a profound effect on the delegates, par ticularly in the event of the imminent deadlock between McAdoo and Smith. Unbiased observers concede that Mc- Adoo will have in excess of 400 votes on the first ballot. "With nearly 500 dele gates uninstructed, the McAdoo man agers believe their candidate can pick off more than enough to give him a ma jority in the early balloting. Gov. “Al” Smith, of New York, with approximately 300 votes and the con trol of about 100 more in the hands of anti-McAdoo forces, holds the veto pow er so long as the two-thirds rule re mains in effect.
