THE TICKET FOR PRESIDENT John W.Davis,of West Virginia FOR VICE PRESIDENT Chas. W. Bryan, of Nebraska By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON Convention Hall, New York. "Alavotes bama casts 1" For for Oscar W. on hundred and three times the great hall had rung with that shout. Seventy-seven times up to Saturday night, and it started again on Monday morning, for the committee Jhat had been named on Saturday for the purpose of effecting some sort of a compromise between the contending candidates had been unsuccessful, and there seemed to be no hope for a solution of the difficulties In which the Democracy of the nation found itself. But the break came at last, and on the one hundred and third ballot John W. Davis of West Virginia was named of the party, as the standard-beare- r His selection marked the conclusion of ths greatest fight in American political history. It was followed by the election of Gov. Charles W. Bryan, of Nebraska, for second place on the gatherticket, and the history-makin- g ing was at an end, after being in session for 10 days. Monday, July 7, was a day of false hopes. At the close of the eighty-secon- d ballot a resolution was adopted releasing the delegates from any instructions, and that was expected to bring about a break. It did, but It did not result In a nomination. It brought the McAdoo vote tumbling from 511' to 333 when the convention adjourned at night. Tuesday brought no ray of hope. In the afternoon Governor Smith and Mr. McAdoo got together, but Mr. McAdoo refused at that time to release his delegates, and Governor Smith would not withdraw so long ns Mr. McAdoo remained In the race. The fruitless balloting continued through the day session, and up to the ninety-nintcompleted at 2:15 Wednesday morning. At that time Mr. McAdoo released his delegates, and on the one hundredth, ballot his vote dropped to 180. After that ballot the convention adjourned until noon on Wednesday In an effort to get together on some dark horse. The one hundred and 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 roll call of states, continued to cast Its 24 votes for Underwood, but there was a drift In both ballots to Davis. On the one hundred and third ballot Alabama again started off with "24 votes for Underwood," but It was soon demonstrated that Davis was going strong. Before the ballot was completed he had more than a majority, .nnd then the delegations began changing their votes In order to get into the band wagon. Before the result of the ballot was announced it was moved to make the nomination by acclamation, and it went through with a whoop, to be followed by a demonstration lasting several minutes. The night session of Wednesday, following the nomination of a csndl-dat- e for the Presidency, was In the nature of a Democratic lovefcast. It was addressed by Governor Smith, Governor Cox, the Democratic nomine. Mr. 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 presidential nomination, and the convention adjourned shortly before three o'clock Thursday morning. The contest in the Democratic convention broke all records and ail precedents. The greatest number of ballots that had ever been cast In a political convention before was that of the Democratic party In 1800 at Charleston, when 57 ballots were cast In that city, and the convention was then adjourned to Baltimore where two additional ballots were taken, resulting In the nomination of Stephen A. DouglM. The recent convention sets a record that Is not likely to be equaled, at least not In the present generation. It broke all precedent In that the campaign of the leading candidates were conducted by principals and not by managers. Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Smith were both on the ground; they were within 100 feet of the entrance to ths convention hall, and within 50 feet of each other, and from these points of vantage they directed their own campaigns and wera their own political state gist. Bark of It alt, lay the shadow of the Klan. The fight over the Klan plank In the platform had engendered an Intense feeling on the part of the two contendlag factions, the one led by Oovernor Smith and the other by Mr. McAdoo. When on Monday, Jane M. tht first ballot was taken. It h, 1 v showed Mr. McAdoo with the greater number of votes, but with Governor Smith controlling directly or Indirectly at least a good third of the delegates. Neither of the two leaders could be nominated unless the other gave way, or unless one could breuk the seemingly solid phalanxes of the other. It was under such conditions that both took personal command of their forces Instead of leaving the direction of the campaign in the hands of their managers. Others in Limelight Aside from the two leaders there were, as serious contenders for the nomination, Senator Ralston, backed by the solid Indiana delegation; Senator Glass, backed by Virginia; John W. Davis, backed by West Virginia ; Cox, backed by Ohio ; Senator Saulsbury, backed by the six votes of Delaware; Governor Ritchie, backed by Maryland; Senator UnderOther wood, backed by Alabama. favorite sons that had been entered In the big race dropped by the wayside, but those named above stuck for ballot after ballot, with their managers expecting that some one of them would eventually be picked as the compromise candldte. They realized the Intense 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 their candidate might draw from both sides when the break came. On the part of the two leaders every plan known In political campaigning was used to Influence delegates. There was an abundance of the nsual demonstrations, long and noisy. There were dire threats and earnest pleadings to attract support. Those delegations that were not directly Instructed, or not definitely committed to some one candidate, would occasionally switch to or from one or the other of the leaders. This was especially true as It applied to Mr. McAdoo, and because of this his vote fluctuated from a little over 400 to as high as 530. Governor Smith's vote remained more nearly stationary at between 315 nnd 308, but that and others that would go to him on a break, was enough to prevent a nomination of any other candidate. On Mr. afternoon Wednesday Bryan;-askin- g 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 hallots continued without material change. On Friday afternoon, after 0(5 ballots had been taken, an effort was made to suspend the rules and permit the leading candidates to In person before the convention. Tt was opposed largely by the McAdoo delegates and failed of the needed vote. Then Franklin D. Roosevelt asked that the convention extend an Invitation to the Democrat-"i- c governor of New Tork to address the delegates. Again It meant a suspension of the rules, and while the move was cleverly made, and refusal would put the convention In the position of being dlsconrteous to Its Democratic host. It, too. was voted down. Without such an Invitation no candidate could get a personal hear-InFriday 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 whs not given. Again a clever political move had failed. Outside of the convention hall the lenders of the party, those not immediately connected with the candidacy of the two leading candidate, were making strenuous efforts lo break the deadlock and patch up the differences the fight tmd aroused. 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 final analysis, but without success And then on Friday afternoon Sen Btor Ralston wired a withdrawal of his name, and his delegation split 20 for McAdoo and 10 for Cox. A ilitle Cox did the same later the Ohio deleratlon thing, and switched over to BnVer. A solution hsd not been found. On Saturday the Ohio delegation dropped Raker and ardlt between Governor 'candidates, giving Smith 21 votes, the ofiers going to those In the "also ran" class. ' ap-ne- sr two-third- s ?. '(H) IK) . MUM. were the results achieved. 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 progressive element In the Republican party. For the majority element In the Republican party he had no single word of commendation. But no one was very much surprised at nil of that, as no one had expected him to commend the enemy. That was not what he was there to do. Even Congressman Theodore Burton, the Republican keynoter at Cleveland, who attended the Democratic show as a guest, did not seem to take any serious offense at what was said about himself and his Republican colleagues. It did not seem that Senator Harrison had overlooked anything that could be said in opposition to the Republicans, but along came the permanent chairman. Senator Walsh, on June 25, with a new Wednesday, list of charges, or at least a new 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 enemy caused the delegates to forget, for the time, their differences over platform planks and favored candidates. They shed coats and, in many cases, collars as well ; they displayed black and green and blue "galluses," and despite the heat enjoyed to the full everything the leader of the oil Investigations gave them as 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 long and almost continuous hours the committee, headed by Homer S. Cummings, had labored over its task, and the stumbling blocks it had struck were Klan and League of Nations. On the latter subject of War Baker was leading the declaration fight to a stralght-awaIn favor of the League, and would be satisfied with nothing less, but he was in the minority. That did not represent a serious situation for the party, but the other subject, that of the Klan, 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 knees In the committee room and asked the members of the committee to Join with him In asking Divine guidance in their hour of difficulty. 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 to the provisions of the Con stltutinn, but It did not mi ma the Klan. That was the plnnk that was written Into the majority report of the committee, lint it was not satisfactory to a large element In the party.. Governor Smith announced that he would withdraw from the contest tot the nomination if t'.ie party attempted to straddle the subject. William H. I'nttangull, Lemocratlc candidate for governor of Maine; Raiiiurhlge Colby of New Jersey, former secretary of stane; Joseph A. Kellogg of New York, were among other leaders that were harking Governor Smith and his folfirst-han- d Drain Tile Used as a Cooling Tank for the Milk Can. depth of about an Inch and a half, any good Portland cement, mixed fairly thin with water.

Mr. Reynolds says he knows this will actually "do the trick every time," and is little trouble and expense. . y lowing. Fight Over Platform The committee did not report until after three o'clock Saturduy afternoon, and then they gave to the convention both a majority and minority report on these two planks.

Pour Into It to the Liberal Feeding Gives Best Results in Dairy The successful dairyman has ever been a liberal feeder. The stingy feeder or the one who measures out feed in meager quantities Is never to be ranked among the successful. A visit to a barn recently where records of high rank, and one of them possibly a world's record, are being made, showed the boys feeding a large variety of concentrates In liberal quans alfalfa and tities along with silage. True, each cow was being fed according to the amount of her milk production, yet the allowance was very generous. To feed each cow In proportion to her daily milk flow Is economical and need not detract from feeding an amount that will stimulate her greatest milk flow. A higher feed bill usually goes with cheaper production per unit. Recently some figures from a herd were shown. One cow that had eaten more feed than any other- - In the herd had at the same time produced butterfat at the cost, as coinpnred to some others In the herd. A henrty. rugged dairy cow has a vigorous appetite. To feed her well Is to enable her to develop her full capacity. Judgment, of course, must be used and feeds that are economical and suitable must be supplied. For heaviest production and for cheapest production liberal feeding gives best results. first-clas- one-thir- d Find Corn Silage Most Valuable for Dairy Cow Tn feeding trials with dairy cattle, covering three years. It was found that corn silage was 1 per cent more valuable than knflr silage, and kaflr ailag? was 10 per cent more valuable than cane silage for milk production. When the amount of milk produced per acre wss considered, however, the cane silage led the corn and kaflr on account of the greater yield.
