HIE CONCORD TIMES
EM) TO THE DEADLOCK
COMES VERY QUCKLY
Tar Heel Delegation Casts Solid Vote
For Nominee, on Last Ballot
Den Dixon MacXeill in Raleigh News
and Observer.
( Madison Square OaVden, New York.
July !). It was like the breaking of a
srreat light ui>on the muddled acres of
Tex Rickard's swimming hole. In less
than two minutes time it dawned upon
a thousand delegates that John \Y.
Davis was the man they had wanted
from the beginning and they proceeded
to get hysterical about it. The break
came at J :.’*7 p. in., and within three
minutes W al*sh had declared him the
nominee.
Five minutes before the nomination
wa.s declared the prophets were wan
dering about the aisles offering to bet
actual money that another deadlock was
impending, and that Davis would be
forced out tomorrow or next day. But
something happened. They call it a
stampede, but more likely it was the
coming to the force the tiling that had
been in the back of the convention’s
mind 1(1 days.
“New York will never rer Davis get
even a majority of the convention they
dont want him —lie’s dry,” was .the
word that was going the rounds during
the polling of the 103rd ballot that was
never finished. “Underwood will hi* their
choice and they will force his nomina
tion before tomorrow night. Davis has
not a chance. He is another sky rocket.”
But even as these prophets uttered
wisdom. Josephus Daniels* got the ear of
the chairman for a minute. Tt was the
first time he had spoken from the
floor, and even then it was almost by
miracle that Senator TVa’sh saw him in
the vast confusion that eblx*d and flow
ed on the convention floor. North Caro
lina had again split its vote, giving
Davis eighteen and a half and Under
wood six. Daniels had conferred briefly
with the delegation and turned toward
the platform.
“North Carolina desires to correct
its vote, giving 24, votes.” Mr. Daniels
said. The vote had to be -relayed toward
the platform. Tt was a turning pomt in
the tidal wave that three minutes later
swept the West Yirginiaii to me leader
ship of the convention that had for TC>
days been leaderless. State after State
followed the lead of North Carolina.
Parade Gets Under Way.
Over in the next ais’e from the Tar
Heel delegation Tom Taggart mounted
a chair and moved to nu ke the nomina
tion unanimous. Old fashioned pande
monium broke loose in the swimming pool
and for a space of ton minutes exercised
riotous dominion ' over the creatures
therein. The delegations in their chairs
to clamor their delirious enthusiasm.
Tie band swung into “Dixie” kindling
anew the enthusiasm that had been
piling up through the long monotony of
the 102 ballots.
Fifty-four standards were torn from
their moorings and the mad swing
around Tie Garden began. First place
was accorded .to West Virginia. and
about a dozen states hack came the
Tar Teel banner, borne ,aloft by Miss
Hattie Berry and Dave Buck, both of
them dancing as they were swept along
in the procession. The standard itself
could not resist the temptations spread
in its way aud it also shimmied-

The strong right arm of Senator Thomas Walsh sent countless gavels to the

the convention in order took plenty of gavel pounding he is credited with break

NOTHING BIT IDLE TALK
Talk of IFavis’ Connection as Attorney
for Morgan Will Fall of Its Own
Weight.
W. A. Hilderband in Greensboro News.
New York. July 9. —They are con
vinced that the talk about Davis and
his connections with the house of Mor
gan will presently fall of their own
weight. $n a fortnight it is believed
Davis will take the offensive, and will
occupy that position to the end of the
campaign, as there is nothing in his pri
vate or professional life which* could by
any possibility place him on the de
fensive. He is enough of a southerner
for anybody, in the opinion of the North
Carolina leaders, he having moved in a
southern atmoxi&er# for many years.
He was educated in Vriginia. Hhey
see no valid reason for any hospitality
on the part of labor.
The party 1 leaders from the state re
called that Mr. Davis, as solicitor gen
eral, defended the Adamson eight-hour
law at the instance of President Wilson,
and members of the Supreme Court said
they had never heard a finer, or more
effective defense of the rights of labor.
As a literary production, it was regarded
as a classic, and Chairman Dawson said j
hi* expected, on his way home, to stop in !
Washington aud get a number of copies
of the brief submitted by Davis in this
case.
Mr. Ifcivis wtA a contemporary in the
liouse with Judge Yates Webb, and the
North Carolina member of the judiciary
committee frequently commented on the
outstanding ability of the man from
West Virginia. Many think he was 1
author, of the Clayton antitrust laws.
The leaders from the state, therefore, |
think Mr. Davis will show up fine in the
November election is so far as North
Carolina is concerned.
Wliat the party leaders generally are
hoping is that Davis will carry the!
jjouthern states. New York, New Jer-i
sey. Connecticut and other states of the
east, and that he will pick up a few !
states in the west like Utah, New Mex-!
ieo and even lowa, if La Follette is ta
continue what - the Republicans regard
as his pernicious activity.

Sen.-'toi Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana.
1 1. .1 letter to the Democratic national
convention tonight, finally and definite
ly declined to accept the nomination for
vice president.
Having chosen John W. Davis, of

even ruled out of order the delegate who

Taggart Utters Praise For Party’s
Nominee.
New York, July J).—Thomas Taggart,
Indiana leader, expressed great satis
faction with the nomination and openly
declared that Davis’ legal connections
proved his capacity for the presidency.
“Davis is a big. capable man, and I
am for him,” Taggart declared. “If a
man has enough ability to hold the posi
tion with the big corporation that he
does, hi* has enough ability to he Presi
dent. He will wiu without a doubt.”
Josephus Daniels, former secretary
of the navy, was equally pleased with
tin* nomination. Stepping from a room
in which 'William Jennings Bryan sat
alone in one corner looking somewhat
taken back, Daniels acclaimed the
nomination as presaging victory.
“Davis has no superior in ability for
public service.” lie said. “His appeal to
the people will grow daily and he will,
be elected in November.”
Morrison Votes for Daniels.
Robert Maddrey in Charlotte Observer.
New York, July 9. —A strong current
of gossip was turned loose in the North
Carolina delegation in the wee bourse
of this morning when Governor Morris
son fwve Josephus Daniels his vote for
the first time. Several times in the
balloting yesterday every member of the
delegation save Governor Morrison and
Mr. Daniels himself had cast their vote
for the former secretary of the navy.
It was stiid the governor had withheld
his because he didn’t consider Mr. Dan
iels merited the compliment. There is
much speculation as to who brought
about the capitulation of the governor,
and it is believed to have been the late
hours as much as anything else.
Miss Hattie Berry led the fight for
Davis in the North Carolina delegation,
which gave him all the votes on the last
ballot.

Mr. Davis asserted that not the least
of the weighty obligations that had fallen
to him was "the duty to put before the

GREENSBORO FOLK HEAR
MORRISON OVER RADIO
Governor Takes Platform at New York
U> Second Nomination of Mrs. Springs.
Greensboro News. ,
Those who followed the Democratic
uational convention over radio last
'light were not the least surprised when
Governor Morrison's voice was heard,
familiarly enough, when he took the
platform to second the nomination of
Mrs. Leroy Springs, of South Carolina.
Governor Smith, of New York, had just
finished a speech about the great things
that he had done for New York state
under Democratic control; of their
great road program where more than
had been spent for good
roads; how he had attended to business
of the state government without look
ing forward the capital dome at Wash
ington and* how New York was one of
the lx*st. governed state's in the country.
Watch out for Governor Morrison,
said some of those around the room, he
cannot miss this chance to say some
thing about North Carolina's program
of progress. Then the chairman, soon
after the great Smith demonstration,
called North Carolina, and recognized
Governor Morri®on.
Taking the speaker’s rttand, Governor
Mbfrison let'his fine voice roll ottt in.
clear tones. lie was very easily under
stood.
Whi'ii Mrs. Springs’ name was placed
in nomination by South Carolina she got
IHM-haps the largest greeting: and when
Governor Morrison some while later,
seconded her nomination, he received
some applause.
Only once did any apparent feeling
conn* into the night session. That was
when a man from Massachusetts took
the platform and announced that he had
a 1 message and he did not want to be
interrupted while delivering it. That
started the crowd to peeking on him and
he took some flings at the south and
west about their treatment of the north.
That brought a lot of jeers. He was a
"nominating him a man who could ab
solutely deliver New York's vote and
would carry Massachusetts.” There
were more interruptions and then in
disgust he said “It’s useless to try to
sell this crowd an idea.” He finally end
ed by naming Mayor Ilylan of New
York and took his seat. 1
VIGOROUS CONTEST
OYER PLACE BY WOMEN
.Mrs. Leroy Springs Candidate for Viee
Chairman of National Committee.
(By tlie Associated Pt*ess.)
New York, July 10—A vigorous con
test over the selection of a new woman
vice chairman of the Democratic nation
al committee developed today in a meet
ing of women members called to agree
ui>on a successor for Mrs. Emily Newell
Blair, of Missouri.
Several names had been submitted to
the executive session of the women when
it had been in session for more than an
hour. There were understood to have
been a considerable group in the meet
ing favoring re-election of Mrs. Blair.
Mrs. Kellog Fairbanks, of Chicago, the
new national committee woman from 111-
linois, aud Mrs. Leroy Springs, of South
Carolina, placed in nomination by her
state for the vice presidency last night,
were among those prominently men
tioned for the place.
A protracted session developed as the
feminine leaders struggled for a majority
expression for their representative on
the executive committee of the managing
body of their party.
No Successor to Mrs. Blair Recommended.
New York, July 10.—A two-hour ses
sion of women members of the Demo
cratic National Committee, adjourned to
day after unanimously adopting a reso
lution expressing appreciation of the work
of Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, of Missouri,
ns vice chairman of the committee, but
without recommending a successor or
suggesting the re-election of Mrs. Blair.
A resolution by Miss Elizabeth Mar
bury. national committee woman from
New Y'ork declaring that the woman vice
chairman should have no power to make
appointments or perfect organization
plans in any state without consultation
with the national committee woman from
the state was adopted by a large major
ity after Mrs. Blair had expressed agree
ment with the proposal.
