fUTILE, DELEGATES
STICK TO FAVORITES
(Continued from Page 1)
vote from Ritchie to Walsh, of
Montana, 'ana gave the remaining
nine, as usual, to McAdoo.
Virginia’s twenty-four still stood
on today’s first ballot with Senator
Glass. The lines generally on all
sides were unbroken. Davis held
tight to his sixteen from his home
state—West Virginia—and the re
mainder of the roll went through
about the same. The announcer in
Wisconsin who, heretofore, had nev
er missed the “Mister" McAdoo,
this morning made it plain “Mc-
Adoo."
The total number of votes cast
on the first ballot today «was the
full strength of the convention —
1,098. That effectively disposed of
stories that delegates and alternates
■were going away. Delegates might
have gone in small numbers, but
the first vote showed that every
delegate who had departed had left
an alternate.
Fresh Ballot Caller
With a fresh ballot caller the con
verftion went into the thirty-second
ballot. The McAdoo enthusiasts
I were not overlooking any show of
vigor. They announced their votes
■with roars and shouts and in col
lege yell fashion.
Massachusetts divided hers: Mc-
Adoo 2 1-2, Smith 331-2, as usual.
Mississippi held fast for Davis
again, as did Missouri.
In North Carolina McAdoo lost a
half vote, which went to Davis.
Ohio was not to be moved away
from Governor Cox, and Oklahoma
was sticking to Senator Owen.
In Pennsylvania there were some
switches, but they did notaffect the
leaders.
Mr. McAdoo again set up head
quarters across the street from the
garden when the convention con
vened. He occupied a room reserved
in the name of one of his advisers.
McAdoo-Bryan Conference
McAdoo planned to remain at
the hotel throughout the sessions
and receive leaders. Shortly after
he arrived at the hotel McAdoo aides
bearing messages from their chief
began to circulate around the con
vention • floor.
Mr. McAdoo also held an extend
ed conference with William J.
Bryan.
No choice on the thirty-second
ballot. The clark\went at the thir
ty-third. Slowly the ballots were
climbing upward toward the Balti
more and San Francisco records.
While the call was going on Wil
liam Jennings Bryan had a whisper
ed conference on the platform with
Chairman Walsh. Mrs. McAdoo was
back in her box again today busy
with paper and pencil, counting the
ballots.
In Massachusetts on the 33rd Wil
liam A. Gaston, of Massachusetts,
got a half vote from the Smith col
lection. McAdoo’s was unchanged.
Michigan went back to Senator
Ferris, her favorite son, taking all
the 30 votes which had be enscat
tered, McAdoo 11; Smith, 11; Davis,
of West Virginia, 7, and Ralston 1.
The delegation took them all back
to hold them a while and decide lat
er, where they would go.
McAdoo picked up one and a half
in Michigan, which were taken half
a vote from Smith and a full vote
from Ralston.
Other than the break in the New
Yor kdelegation, by which McAdoo
got two votes out of the 90, there
were few changes on the thirty-sev
enth ballot. South Dakota went sol
idly for McAdoo, giving him a gain
of one vote there.
While the balloting was in prog
ress, personal letters signed by Mr.
McAdoo were delivered to McAdoo
delegates on the floor. They ex
pressed his appreciation of their sup
port, declared an intense drive must
be expected to disintegrate the Mc-
Adoo forces, and expressed confi
dence that the McAdoo delegates
would stand firm against 'any at
tempted combintion by “the bosses.”
On the thirty-fourth ballot in Colo
rado, McAdoo*lost one. Smith gain
ed one-half vote. While the ballot
ing was going on there were things
doing in the Mississippi delegation.
The Davis people were holding it
for the West Virginian by a seventh
of a vote, and the McAdoo people
were making heroic efforts to win
it over.k They did not discount the
moral effect of having Mississippi's
twenty votes go in the McAdoo col
umn, and they hoped it would pave
the way for Missouri to do the same
thing later.
In Illinois there were some
changes; Davis, of West Virginia,
gained six; Cox lost three: Davis,
of Kansas, lost two. The list went
along without much change until
Massachusetts, when the one-half
vote that had been with Gaston went
back to Smith.
Mississippi Won for McAdoo
There was little change otherwise
until Mississippi, as predicted, swung
into the McAdoo column with her
twenty. The combined efforts of
William Jennings Bryan, Senator
Pat Harrison and the McAdoo floor
managers had succeeded in winning
over the one-seventh of a vote. It
was the first tangible encouragement
for the McAdoo people today, and
they took advantage of the oppor
tunity to capitalize it, hoping for
the effect on Missouri.
A McAdoo procession was quickly
formed and the McAdoo adherents
went around the hall bearing state
standards, the air resounding with
the familiar “wah-hoo" and “hoop
lah" of the McAdoo warriors.
While the procession was passing.
Missouri was trying to poll and make
up a decision. The McAdoo adher
ents, marching, called as they pass
ed, “come on Missouri.” The Mc-
Adoo adherents in the Missouri dele
gation who have been looking glum
since yesterday’s slide to Davis, re
sponded. “we'll be there.” Most of
them were women, all of whom wore
the same kind of fresh bouquets of
roses.
An outsider parading grabbed the
Missouri standard and raised it high
with the McAdoo paraders. It came
down in a flash with some Davis
men on the other end and the vol
unteer standard-bearer narrowly
missed a bloody nose.
The volunteer was Isma L. Price,
of Swainsboro. Ga.
Plumber Defends Standard
The chip who kept the standard
Sown in place was Louis Guldoni,
Os St. LeJis. “I’m a St. Louis plum
ber." announced Guldoni, "and that
means nobody gets this pole away
from meT
Mr. Guldoni carried the earmarks
of his profession upon him. He ex
uded wealth and prosperity.
When the demonstration quieten
down Missouri passed to have more
time in making up a poll.
Mississippians were prepared, it
was said, to stay with McAdoo for
five ballots and see what strength
he can develop.
New Hampshire took a full vote
away from Walsh of Montana, and
divided it between Smith and Mc-
Adoo.
Oklahoma swung back to McAdoo
on the 34th ballot, after having made
a short excursion on the previous
ballots with Senator Owen. That
brought out a new McAdoo demon
stration and some new signs went
up. They read “McAdoo forever.”
Once again the McAdoo people made
the most of the opportunity.
On the 35th Michigan left Ferris
again and divided this way: McAdoo
14 1-2; Smith, 12 1-2; Ralston, two
and Cox one.
Oklahoma’s visit to the McAdoo
camp w’as a brief one. It lasted
just one ballot. After going to Mc-
Adoo on the 34th ballot and creat
ing a furore among the McAdoo ad
herents in the convention hall, Okla
homa on the 25th ballot went back
> to Senator Owen, her favorite son,
and some of the delegates said she
was “going to stay there."
Gerard Gets a Vote
James W. Gerard, former ambas
sador to Germany, got one vote from
South Dakota which had been going
to Chairman Walsh.
Nebraska was erroneously an
nounced as casting its entire sixteen
votes for McAdoo. As a matter of
fate the division did not vary from
that on previous ballots as between
McAdoo and Robinson.
New Hampshire transferred hall
a vote from McAdoo to Smith. This
was the first change in the voting
on the thirty-sixth ballot.
In North Carolina Ralston receiv
ed half a vote which was taken
from McAdoo.
E. L. Doheny, the California oil
operator, was given one vote in
North Dakota, which wtas taken
from Governor Smith.
The Doheny vote was cast by E.
J. Hughes, of Dickinson, an under
taker, who explained that he did it
for fun. Doheny is now under in
dictment in the District of Columbia
supreme court in connection with the
naval oil leases.
No Break in Sight
There was no definite indication < f
a break in the deadlock b?tween Mc-
Adoo and Smith as, the convention
reassembled Wednesday. The dele
gates still were divided among thir
teen candidates, a record field for
this stage of a national convention,
when the thirty-first roll call was
begun.
McAdoo and Smith were, as before,
in the lead, with John W. Davis well
up in third place, out of the dark
horse division, and Senator Ralston,
of Indiana, although sixth in the vot
ing on the thirtieth ballot, a much
discussed contender. James M. Cox,
of Ohio, retained fourth place, and
Senator Underwood, of Alabama, held
the fifth.
The managers of all the leading
contenders continued to express! con
fidence after the thirtieth ballot, and
kept on working into the early hour's.
What happened at their little con
ferences remained to be seen in to
day’s events.
Os the leaders, McAdoo was the
only one to show a declining ten
dency through the fifteen ballots
yesterday', while Davis displayed the
greatest accretion of strength. The
McAdoo workers, however, predicted
a victory today and David L. Rock
well, manager of the Californian’s
campaign, insisted “our lines are
holding and we have assurance from
our delegations that they will stick
to the finish."
McAdoo Drops Back
McAdoo, who received 431 votes on
the first ballot and climbed to 479
on the fifteenth dropped below his
starting point last night on the twen
ty-sixth, when his count declined to
415 1-2 and ended the night with the
same total.
Smith, meanwhile, maintained his
advance, netting eighteen votes on
the day, which was eighty-three more
than he had in the beginning, and
George E. Brennan, of Illinois, one
of his leading supporters, while mak
ing a round of calls after midnight,
predicted he would reach 400 during
the early balloting today.
The Davis gain represented anoth
er 100 per cent climb. Starting with
63 on the 16th ballot, he ended with
126 1-2, as compared with the pre
ceding day’s progress from 31 to 61.
The Ralston talk gained much mo
mentum when the Davis drift set
William J. Bryan to working in ac
tive opposition to the West Virginian.
Friends of the Indiana senator, who
wound up with, 33 votes—a gain of
two for the day and three altogether
—were confident that Bryan’s second
choice inclination lay in their direc
tion, despite his continued adherence
to the McAoo camp. The Davis
boosters, however, admitted no
chagrin over the Bryan fight against
their man.
Only there favorite sons were
shaken completely out of the ballot
ing yesterday, and one —Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma-—was added to
the list. Governor Brown, of New
Hampshire, and Sehator Harrison, of
Mississippi, were dropped by their
respective delegations on the 16th
ballot, and Governor Bryan let go of
the Nebraska vote on the 21st. All
of the Kansas votes, meanwhile,
turned to McAdoo, but Governor
Jonathan M. Davis, of that state, con
tinued to receive several undecided
votes from Illinois and Pennsylvania
delegates.
Underwood Holds Own
In the surviving favorite son
group—John W. Davis, having
emerged into the leader classification
—Senator Underwood was the only
one receiving widely scattered sup
port at the end of 30 ballots. Start
ing with 41 1-2 on the 16th ballot,
he ended with 39 1-2, the same num
ber he received on the 15th, and
three less than he got on the first..
The McAdoo losses yesterday came
chifely from the switches of the Mis
souri and Oklahoma units, and his
workers, although plainly concerned,
said they were sure these blocks,
which went respectively to Davis
and Owen, would return to their col
umn upon failing to find another
candidate capable of commanding the
necessary two-thirds majority.
Despite rumblings of dissent in va
rious McAdoo delegations last night,
the late balloting found him holding
firm to more than a third of the to
tal votes, wth the Smith forces yet
to reach that point.
Second choice gossip Increased
steadily as the balloting proceeded,
but neither of the contending camps
joined in, leaders of both campaigns
insisting no reason existed for them
even to think about throwing their
support to dark horses. Davis and
Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, were
discussed .as the logical heirs of the
Smith strength if he should release
his delegates and the Ralston spon
sors claimed most of the second
choice sentiment among the dele
gates favoring McAdoo, and there
was evidence of Underwood strength
j yet to develop.
i This situation, in the opinion of
! some, indicated the possibility of a
I new deadlock in event of retirement
I by the two leaders.
Smith workers, like tiiose of Mc-
Adoo, kept busy yesterday on the
i convention floor, but gathered vote?
, slowly. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
' New Yorker’s manager, hiwever. said
: "everything is proceeding according
to Hoyle,” and his colleagues insist
ed they had much strength in re-
I serve.

The cries of the dying still were rising from the ruins when the top picture was taken from an
heroplane at dawn Sunday morning at Lorain, O. The white structure in the center is the State
Moving Picture theater where some 150 women and children were trapped beneath the falling walls.
The lower view is of the ruins in the downtown district, looking down Main street. Scores were buried
in the debris.

INDEMOMTION'
AGAINSTEXCLUSION
TOKIO, July 1—(By the Associ
ated Press.) —The nation-wide dem
onstration against the American ex
clusion act, which goes into effect
today, opened with mass prayer
meetings at all the national Shinto
shrines throughout . the country.
Crowds petitioned the ancient deities
to aid the people in this troublous
time when the Japanese race is “in
sulted" by exclusion from America.
Tokio’s principal meeting was at the
Meiji shrine. It was attended by
thousands of reservists and others.
Scores of other anti-American meet
ings were being held today in Tokio
alone.
Most of the vernacular newspapers
print American cartoons.
Despite the opening of the diet,
the newspapers make the demonstra
tion the big story of the day.
The editorial comment, however,
is moderate.
Prominent men interviewed, while
expressing indignation against Amer
ica, urge the people to seek strength
by internal co-operation.
Netzer to Forget Date
Patriotic societies last evening
placarded virtually every telephone
and telegraph pole in the city with
the following:
“Japanese must never forget July
1, when America Inflicted an intoler
able insult on Japan. Always remem
ber the date. Prepare for such steps
as are demanded by the honor of
the fatherland when the occasion
comes. Every Japanese must re
member the following rules:
“T. Alter your mode of living so
as to impress the date lastingly upon
your minds.
“ ‘2. Hate everything American,
but remain kind to American indi
viduals.
“ ‘3. Deny yourself all luxury.
“ ‘4. Never forget national honor
for private gain.
“ ‘5. Never enter a church sup
ported or guided by Americans or
United States missionaries.’ ”
The police guarding the American
embassy and consulate and hotels in
which foreigners live were rein
forced. .
Urged Against Violence
The “Association for the Preser
vation of National Traditions,” a
leading patriotic organization, has
issued a manifesto through the
newspapers urging the people not to
permit “their righteous indignation ’
against the American nation to cause
them to do violence to resident
Americans.
Similar warnings were sounded in
the editorials of the leading newspa
pers and in statements by prominent
men. ~ .
Both houses in the Japanese diet,
at their first sittings of the current
session today and almost as the
first business, adopted resolutions
strongly opposing the action of the
United States in enacting as part of
its new immigration law, a clause
prohibiting the entry of Japanese.
The pasages of the resolution in each
instance followed the presentation
of addresses by the premier. Vis
count Taka-Akira Kato, and the for
eign minister. Baron Shidehara.
The house of peers in its resolution
expressed approval of the action al
ready taken by the Japanese govern
ment with regard to the American
enactment; that passed by the lower
house asked the government to take
all proper measures demanded by the
situation. Both drafts assert the
enactment is discriminatory.
SMITH CAMP DROPS
ITS HOPES FOR "AL"
AND FIGHTS IfflOO
BY RALPH SMITH
(Journal Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, July I.—The con
vention is not hopelessly deadlocked.
Neither McAdoo nor Smith has poll
ed his full strength as yet. Smith
has called in about half his reserves,
but admittedly there still are approx
imately one hundred votes he can
control. Beyond that he cannot go.
What the Smith people are actual
ly trying to do, under the cover of
their open drive on the convention
floor, is to secure commitments
against McAdoo. They are seeking
to create a "death battalion” of their
own, not {n the hope of eventually
winning with Smith, but of holding
McAdoo indefinitely and forcing the
nomination of a candidate acceptable
Xo Tammany Hall.
As it looks now, it is possible that
Smith may call to his aid the fol
lowing strength, which thus far has
been widely scattered: Colorado 3,
Illinois 23. Maine 5, Massachusetts 3,
Michigan 5, Minnesota 2, New Hamp
shire 3, North Dakota 1, Ohio 32,
Pennsylvania 3, Wyoming 1, Hawaii
5, Porto Rico 6.
The 101 votes above enumerated
maj' possibly be added to Smith’s
vote of 305 1-4 which he received
on the fifteenth ballot last night.
They would bring his total to 406 1-4,
still far under McAdoo’s strength,
but sufficient to veto the nomina
tion of any candidate not acceptable
to Tammany, if —and the if is im
portant—if they can be held togeth
er indefinitely.

GEORGIANS IN LIMELIGHT 3
CONSTANTLY AS THEY LEAD
FLOOR FIGHT FOR M’ADOO
Poise of Delegation in Face
of New Yorkers’' Attacks
Reacting Favorably for
Their Candidate
BY C. F. GREGORY
(Journal Staff Correspondent
Madison square garden,
New York, July 1. —The women
and men representing Georgia at
r he Democratic national convention
led the fight for William Gibbs Mc-
Adoo, native son, through a long
day and right at Madison Square
Garden Monday. Georgia leaders
aided in directing the political game
in the convent on, meeting the Al
Smith ante and raising it a few
votes each time the New York
govera'— gained strength
No other state in the union occu
pies the limelight like the Geor
gians at the national convention,
and no other state could possibly
maintain greater composure under
difficulties and wear honors with
greater dignity.
The appearance and conduct of
the Georgia delegation have in
themselves given the lie to the
charge of the majority of New York
newspapers that the Georgians are
all goblins and genii and thugs and
ruffians. The outrageous'attacks on
Georgia womanhood and manhood
have rebounded to the benefit of
William G. McAdoo and have elim
inated Governor Smith from the race
for the nomination, if he was not
eliminated before the convention
was called to order.
Roosevelt Apologizes
Realizing that the lies printed
about the Georgians are acting as
boomerangs, Franklin D. Roose
velt, the man who placed Governor
Smith in nomination for the presi
dency, sent for a member of the
Georgia delegation Monday and
apologized for tne attitude of the
New York press toward the south
in general and Georgia in particu
lar.
“I want you gentlemen to under
stand that the hostile attitude of
the New York press is not repre
sentative of the sentiment of the
New York delegation, and is very
displeasing to us,” Mr, Roosevelt
was quoted as saying.
Tuesday morning the director of
music at Madison Square garden
called upon the Georgia delegation
on the convention floor and apolo
gized for the affront offered by the
band' in playing “Marching Through
Georgia” during the ovation and
parade after Andrew Erwin’s at
tack on the Ku Klux Klan Saturday
night.
The director declared he thought
he was playing the Georgia state air
or something like that and had no
idea that the tune was repulsive to
the people of the Empire state of
the south. He stated that he had
had numerous requests piay the
tune, but would promise not to do
so again. It seems to be true that
the majority of New Yorkers do not
know that the tune was composed to
commemorate Sherman's march to
the sea.
New York newspapermen who
were within ear shot of the delibera
tions of the resolutions committee
on the ami-klan plank proposed for
the party platform, have revealed
the bold stand taken by Judge Newt
Morris, of Marietta. Colleagues on
the committee give Judge Morris
credit for saving the day, as far ns
the committee was concerned.
New York's Bluff Called /
It is authoritatively stated that
the New York member of the com
mittee warned the other members
that there would be a riot and blood
shed in the converrtion hall if the
klan were not denounced by name,
adding that the New York delega
tion would not assume any respon
sibility for anything that happened.
“If you are endeavoring to threat
en and intimidate this committee
and the Democratic party of the
United States, we serve notice on
you right now that you can’t bluff
us," Judge Morris declared, shaking
his finger in the face of the New
York committeeman. He added that
the majority of the convention stood
ready to adjourn the convention to
some other city at any moment, and
would promptly do .so in the evenc
of attempted rough stuff.
Again Tuesday the entire Georgia
delegation showed up for the long
grind of balloting, confident of the
nomination of William G. McAdoo,
son of Georgia, by Tuesday night or
Wednesday.
Monday afternoon editions of the
New York papers were fairer to the
Georgians than any previous edi
tions had been and two of them con
tained corrections of reports that
Miss Marian Colley, of Washington,
had been intimidated into changing
her vote on the anti-klan resolution.
Miss Colley demanded that the stories
be retracted.
The only paper that stuck to its
guns was the Bulletin, a new paper
here. It contained an editorial de
claring that Mis s Colley was backed
into a corner by her colleagues,
cursed and abused, and threatened
with personal injury if she did not
change her vote that had been cast
in favor of the resolution. This
newspaper also suggested that An
drew Erwin, the Georgian who
broke away from the delegation and
spoke in favor of the klan attack,
be nominated for vice president as
a reward for his action.
Georgians were highly indignant
at the attack.
The New York Bulletin, the same
IF SICK TODAY!
TAKE NO CALOMEL
“Dodson’s Liver Tone” Straightens You Up Better Than
Salivating, Dangerous Calomel and Doesn’t Upset
You—Don’t Lose a Day’s Work—Read Guarantee
I discovered a vegetable compound
that does the work of dangerous
sickening calomel and I want every
t rader of this paper to buy a bottle
for a few cents and if it doesn’t
straighten you up better and quicker
than salivating calomel just go back
to the store and get your money
tack.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson’s Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean
your thirty feet of bowels of the
sour bile and constipation poison
which is clogging your system and
making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that one spoonful ol
this harmless liquid liver medicine
newspaper that is continuing its
misrepresentation of the Georgife
delegation, charged editorially in its
edition today that Chairman Walsh
is favoring Mr. McAdoo in his con
vention rulings.
Georgians Lead Parade
Georgians led in the demonstra
tion that resulted from the an
nouncement of the first convention
ballot, giving Mr. McAdoo 431 votes,
and they led again in the demOE»t«“
tion Monday night when the state
of Kansas started the first brea*
by casting her 20 votes for McAdoo
for the first time on th etenth bal
lot. The Georgia banner started «■
McA'doo parade, in which it waa
joined by Kansas, Texas, Montana, - ■
Oklahoma, California, Kentucky, J
District of Columbia, Minnesota. |

see, Washington, South Carolina,
Utah, Florida, Oregon, Canal Zone,
Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina,
Hawaii and the Philippine island
standards. _. .
It was learned Monday that Chair
man Walsh sent word to Hollins N.
Randolph during the klan fight Sat
urday night that a plan was on foot
to mob him, and suggested that
some one else be designated to an
nounce the vote for Georgia. Th®
chairman stated that he thought it
wiser not to recognize Mr. Randolph j
any more. Chairman Randolph des
ignated Vice Chairman H. H. Dean
to announce the vote for Georgia, g
but sat beside him, in spite of
warnings that a bottle shower might J
be expected from the howling mob
in the galleries.
During the voting Monday and
Monday night, Chairman Randolph
and Vice Chairman Dean alternated
in directing the activities of the
delegation, and aided in managing
the floor campaign for Mr. McAdoo.
They conferred upon the women of
the delegation the honor of making
the time honored announcement that
“Georgia casts her twenty-eight
votes for William Gibbs McAdoo.”
Mrs. Lena B. Stephenson, of Savan
nah and Mrs. Z. V. Peterson, of At
lanta, were the first women to re
spond to the roll call on behalf" of
the Empire State.
Senators Away Sunday
Senators William J. Harris and
Walter F. George, of Georgia, went
to Washington Sunday to transact
official business for their constitu
ents. Senator George left the con- '
vention to do some work for peach
growers in the vicinity of Monte
zuma. The New York Sun printed
an editorial complimentary to Sena
tor George Sunday.
Fred B. Wilson, of Atlanta,, aided
Senator George in the entertainment
of the Georgia delegates Friday
night, and has now joined the forces
of the Georgian delegation in the in
terest of Mr. McAdoo.
Congressman William D. Upshaw,
of the Fifth Georgia district, an
nounced to the Georgia delegation
Monday night that he will not re
main in the race for vice president,
in the event of the nomination of
Mr. McAdoo.
“As we were both born in Geor
gia, it would be too much to ask
both the presidency and vice preai- |
dency for our state, so I will with- I
draw from my race in the event Mr.
McAdoo is nominated, and in the
meantime I will do everything in my
power to see that he is nominated,” ■
Congressman Upshaw declared. a
Congressman Lee There
Congressman Gorden Lee, of Geor
gia, sat with the Georgia delega
tion during the voting Monday night,
and aided in the fight for McAdoo
former Georgian. Charles Barrett, *
formerly of Union City, Ga., but
now located in Washington as preai
dent of the National Farmers’
Union, came down from the capital
Monday and joined the Georgians.
The entire Georgia delegation
stayed on the job until the final
vote was taken at midnight Monday. i
and cheered the announcement of
the result of the fifteenth ballot,
showing a gain of four more votes
for Mr. McAdpo and a loss of ono
vote by Governor Smith.
