3* S '? PAGE EIGHT THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, SOUTH CAROLINA 5- = Men and Measures In Political Battle m- m Score of Names Will Be Brought For ward In Connection With Nomi nation For President. * New York, June 23.—The Demo cratic national convention will as- ■emble in Madison Square Garden at anon tomorrow with its favorites for Hw presidency apparently deadlocked, its chief advisers said to be in dis agreement over party policies and its delegates seeking a leader to guide them out of the wilderness of their decision. In the vast arena of the storied old iphitheatre political observers ex pect to see enacted such stirring neenes as live forever in political his tory. It will be a battle both of men and measures, with burnished shield and tempered steel flashing in the radiance of a mounting flame of party enthusiasm. Despite the differences over plat form declarations, the convention is looking to the contest over candidates as likely to furnish its greatest spec tacle and its most serious difficulty. The claims of 20 aspirants for the presidency have been placed before &e delegates in a fevered precoriven- tion period, but there was no clear in dication tonight that the convention would find even in such a field the standard bearer it is seeking. In pledged delegate strength Wil liam G. McAdoo stands well ahead of all his competitors. Gov. A1 Smith, an idol of the New York Democracy, has developed a backing that will put him in second place on the opening ballot. Down the line will be ranged a long list of others, whose man agers tonight were predicting trium phantly that both of the leaders would be eliminated in the end by the latter rivalry between them. Today there was a rallying of strength in the camps of both Smith and McAdoo that kindled enthusiasm to a ferver heat and kept the political district of New York echoing with the cheers of marching delegates. Mr. McAdoo, taking notice of fast flying reports that some of those pledged to him were preparing to.quit the fight after the early ballots, told a group of his supporters in a public speech that no delegate had been sent to the convention to “betray a trust.” Governor Smith, appearing before a of thousands to review a civic was welcomed by roars of applause and acclaimed by his parti sans as the next president. During the day most of the state delegations held caucuses to compare sions and to plan their part of big show. The tone of most of was one of uncertainty and speculation, but it became increasing ly apparent that many who will have eomrention votes are disposed to make ■elections of their own after they fulfilled their instructions to their ballots for this or that can- didate on the initial roll calls. Should the deadlock be prolonged, the con vention itself may determine to take upon its own shoulders the responsi- ***r of picking a candidate, rather Hum continue the stalemate indefin itely by following blindly the advice of state conventions and primaries. The day’s developments caused no iu the claims of victory ema- from the headquarters of both jReAdoo «ikd Smith, but there was no ring the growing show of opti- among the supporters of the sons, who for the present are into shadow by the towering strength of the two leaders. The Indiana delegation, after a glance over the situation as it devel oped during the past few hours, re- veraed the previous decision of Demo cratic leaders of the state and decid ed unanimously to place the name of Senator Samuel M. Ralston formally before the convention. There was talk later of abandoning the decision, however, when some of the senator's friends suggested that his position would be weakened by bringing hiqi forward »t so early a stage in the frght—en opinion in which Thomas Taggert, the veteran Indiana leader, appeared to share. Undeniably the day’s hurried acti vities saw an increase in the tide of diacussion over favorite sons and ^fock horses”, and the delegates were given plenty of advice by the cam paign workers about both the strength and the weaknesses of those proposed as compromise candidates. John W. Davis became a target of criticism both from some of the Mc Adoo partisans and some of those supporting Governor Smith and as as Senator Ralston’s ngme was it forward afresh a counter snt started to head off the before it had opportunky to leach any greater proportions. Rut none of the managers for the string of candidates appeared discouraged by the difficulties pathway. Senator Oscar Un paid his first visit during day to the headquarters opened behalf by his friends from and added the impetus of hie Contentions Opens With Wilson Demonstration (Continued From Page Ono) Sometimes he belabored the political adversaries with blunt, bludgeon-like blows, or again he sent darting thrusts of rapier-like irony and sa tire against the party foes. Always the great crowd on the floor cheered and urged him on to fresh effort. It wfs thus that he came to plead for the day when there would be again in the White House such a Democrat as Woodrow Wilson. Right there tumult broke loose. Delegates and alternates leaped from them seats, yelling. The sound had the first touch in it of the steely tang born of true emotion. They came to their feet like one man, those dele gates and alternates. It was no af fair of the gallaries, but of the con vention itself and the shout swept up to the big roof like one great voice. They kept it up for many minutes. Somebody down in front got the idea 1 that a regular demonstration was in order. He shoved, up the Missouri stafidif 3 a nd stai^td win it. ‘ ers followed suit, one by one and in a moment i^they were all parading around the hall while the band played and everybody did his bit a noise making. They came surging by the speak er’s stand where the Mississippi sena tor had been taking his seat to await a chance to proceed. He was mop ping a perspiring brow and his face and hair were fairly drenched but he grinned happily down at the tumult he had let loose and waved greetings to those below who cried up to him to drive ahead. That was the big moment of the day. It brought reporters and plat form officials hustling back to the stand from the work rooms below and It was many minutes before the Mississippian could get back on his job of tongue-lashing the party foes. At the close, Senator Harrison turned his speech to an eloquent pies for party harmony that it might dose its hands, on the victory he said Was- in its grasp. He besought his fellow Democrats to submerge differences and gird themselves fer battle, who ever the party standard-bearer might be; to hark to the call from beyond the graves where great Democratic leaders lie that they “carry on and keep the faith.” Then, swiftly and surely, the chairman took the reins and drove the routine business of the first day through with s speed and smiling vigor that won shouts of approval from the floor. Almost before the delegates knew it, the formal res olution expressing the sorrow of his fellow Democrats that Woodrow Wil son had passed on into history had been adopted and the convention was at an end for the day in respect for his memory. In the opening ceremonies the visitors got a touch of New York hospitality. Strung between the vast flags that formed a canopy beneath the glass roof of the old building, softening the sun blaze for the thous ands gathered below, ran folded white bunting that seemed merely a part of decoration. After Cardinal Hayes had pro nounced the invocation, the band struck into the Star Spangled Ban ner with the convention on its feet and singing to the leadership of Madame Anna Case, Metropolitan opera prims donna. She spread her arms wide to the great gathering, calling them into the stately hymn of freedom and her clear voice swept up like a .bugle call on the high notes. Then there came down from the roof a shower of small silken flags that had been concealed in the bunting. They came down all over the hall hke autumn leaves, national flags and the emblem of New York City which gave its greeting to guests of national Democracy, come again to the Metropolis afAr more than fifty years. * . „ Mayor Hylan gave the spoken wel come of the city; Y.
