The missionaries of the McAdoo Cause had been at work during the recess, end the llnee of the McAdoo states again were holding under the combined attack of the opposition. The chairman of the Georgia dele gation, rising to respond to the call of his state, shouted up defiantly to the chairman "to record Georgia as voting on the next 500 ballots for \Vllllam Gibbs McAdoo."

The poll of the Nevada delegation showed four for McAdoo and two for Smith. Chairman Walsh ruled that under the instructions of the Nevada dele gation its entire six votes must go to McAdoo. Madison Square Garden, July 8.— Thomas Taggart launched today his long heralded offensive for the nomi nation of Ralston of Indiana by the democratic national convention. As the long succession of ballots ap proached the half century mark, the Indiana leader began to bring from under cover votes he has been hold ing out until he was convinced the leaders had been eliminated. The first result was that on the forty-ninth ballot Ralston further crippled the McAdoo strength by tak ing the solid 20 votes of Mississippi. The Indiana senator also picked up five In Illinois and one in Minnesota, making his total 57 in place of the 31 given him on a long strlqg of pre ceding ballots. Taggart to Push Boom Taggart said he expected to ride the boom for all It was worth, hop ing his man would prove the candl date on which the tightly deadlocked convention could unite as a compro mise.

Meantime, Governor Smith was holding his own, with 820 votes, and most of the other candidates were running along as usual except for the gain to Robinson resulting In S-t-o-r-e W-i-d-e Clearance Coats, Suits, Skirts, Dresses, Sweaters F.

McAdoo held several confer ences with his advisers and carefully outlined a strategy which he still in slated would result in his nomina tion. He told his friends efforts should be made to make the Smith forces disclose their strength and, while he knew that the opposition had little reserves of strength here and there among the delegates, that when the Smith showdown came it would result in a reaction. Reno, Nev., July 3.—Democratic leaders in Nevada today telegraphed the state delegation at the democratic national convention urging the dele gates to swing from McAdoo to Gov ernor Smith of New York. The dele gatlon is bound by the unit rule, and the dispatch was sent at the request of George B. Thatcher, one of the delegates, who telegraphed for BUch authority, Madison Square Garden, New York. July 3.—William G. McAdoo con tinued to slip down the ladder in the balloting in the democratic national convention today as the deadlock over the presidential nomination con tined to a half hunded ballots. Starting when Oklahoma broke away from him early today, his total went down slowly until the 9th bal lot, when Mississippi also broke and went to Ralston of Indiana. Simultaneously with this, reports went around the floor that the Indt ana senator was to be given his "run,” starting with the 61st ballot. Just before the 60th ballot started, it was reported that the McAdoo man agers were considering presenting n rule to the convention that the lowest candidate on a ballot be dropped out of the running, thus eliminating out elders and narrowing the race down to the real contenders. Madison Square Garden, New York, July 3.—Plainly out to set a new record in balloting for a presidential nomination, delegates to the demo crtic national convention, delegates re assembled here this morning. Forty-two ballots were behind them and another w«try day ahead, mak ing It virtually certain that the 44 bal lots In San Francisco and the 46 re quired for Wilson’s nomination at Baltimore In 1912 would be out stripped by this turbulent gathering. McAdoo dropped below 500 on the first ballot of today’s session, due largely to the defection of Oklahoma, whose 20 votes were transferred to Senator Robinson of Arkansas. ‘‘Rrealt" Expected Today. As the balloting proceeded, the ex pectation for a “break" became more and more general during the day. Reports were current that after Mc Adoo has had an opportunity to show something for a few more ballots and Smith has had his run. Senator Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana, Tag gart’s candidate. Is to be the heir ap parent, with Smith to be proposed for the vice presidency. Ralston On Bryan IJst. Ralston was one of the “ellglbles" named by William Jennings Bryan In his spectacular effort yesterday to swing the convention to one of hts own choosing. The democratic organi zations In Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York would just as soon see Ral ston get it as anyone if Smith is eliminated. As the delegates assembled in the Garden there were reports, too, that McAdoo’s managers had succeeded in making some headway in the Carter Glass delegation or 24. and might pick up a few votes there in the early bal loting. Chairman Walsh began hammering for order at 10:30 o’clock, at which time only half the delegates were In their seats. The invocation was pr» nounced by the Rev. John Heindeil, pastor of the English Lutheran church. The prayer finished, the 43rd ballot was started. The 44th ballot brought little change In the situation. Smith Holds Firm. McAdoo was unable to increase his to:nl and Smith remained stationary. Both Thomas Taggart of Indiana and Governor Brough of Arkansas were busy on the floor during the balloting lining up secondary choice strength for Ralston and Robinson respectively. The Arkansas managers claimed si 11:15 to have eight states lined up for Robinson when the “break’' comes. Taggart was said to have con siderably more than that for Ralston McAdoo dropped a vote on the 45th ballot and Smith made no progress. As it was being taken Robinson’s managers were working earnestly on the floor to set the stage to give the Arkansas senator “a ride" within a few ballots. Glass Release Rumored. As the 46th ballot was starting re ports were spread on the floor that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia had released his delegates. Fifty-fifth Ballot. 1 Alabama: Underwood, 24.

I nlvemnl Hmlre Staff Correspondent. New York, July 3.—Broadcast from Woolworth political department. With a nation’s life at stake, the democrats still continue to dish up 5-and-lO politics. This country will be 149 years old on Friday. Up at ths Garden It sounds like a 2-year-old. Bryan's 15th speech was the equiva lent of a baby's first cry. Smith and McAdoo ars still dead locktd like fighting moose. Their horns are tangled up. There la more double-crossing in this campaign than there Is In a win ter tick-tack-toe. The Indians’ complaint about the white man was that the white man spoke with a double tongue. The Indians have it. A New York delegate requested Bryan to pull in his neck for the good of the party. McAdoo made his reputation dig ging tunnels. There is plenty of mole engineer ing going on between ballots. A Pennsylvania delegate tossed one-half a vote for Ritchie. When asked to explain, he said he was half dead. Then he went Into the Garden res taurant and ordered an omelet. He got sore when he discovered the hen had cast only one-half an egg for him. The hens have It. Chairman Walsh polled the dele gations for cigarets. Scattering got 80 votes on the 31st ballot. The delegates are seated In the largest swimming pool In the world. If Chairman Walsh had any s^nse he would turn on the water. The delegates have run out of words and are doing Imitations of birds and animals. The one-tube radio asked fri an adjournment at midnight. The loud speaker was talking Siamese. Realizing the convention has Just started, A1 Smith made out his last will and testament, leaving the nom ination to his grandson. The singing committee sang the "Cat Song" from the opera "Take It or Leave It.'* The meows have It. Richard the Third exchanged his kingdom for a horse. It looks as If we are about to be traded for a donkey. The mules have It. Bryan passed the old-fashioned applesauce In his sizzling speech. He has been making that speech for 30 years and loves it. A poll of delegates at 8 p. m re vealed that pure, democratic prin ciples and sore feet were In the ma jority. The bunion plasters have It. The convention Is dead from the axles up and never had any wheels. Bryan .has more power than any man In the Garden. He Is In the driver’s seat. But there s a dead mule In the shafts. Betting on the nominee has now switched from Wall street to Ever green cemetery. The best the candidate can g«-t It four years in the old folks home. (Copyright, I fit.)

LIQUOR VIOLATORS GET STIFF TERMS (Continued from Page One.) e<J that the men would be taken to the various county Jails and prisons as quickly as he can have the neces sary papers ready. Judge Is Firm. Judge McGee was distinct In pronouncing sentences. Only three defendants cared to say anything be fore sentence was passed. Judge McGee told Grace Wilson when she broke down and cried that she should have known better than violate the law when she had two children. In all cases where fines were Im posed, Judge McGee ordered that the defendants remain In jail until their fines are paid. In giving sentences to 15 persons that pleaded guilty, he said: "You took a different course than others that were convicted after they took the stand and perjured them selves. The juries knew they were committing perjury. “The court fln'-ds there Is a ma terial difference In the cases and will Impose sentence of about half what others got.” Not All Surprised. Omaha attorneys who watched Judge McGee operate were not all surprised at the sentences. “Judge McGee is liberal,” said Johl Barrett. “He gave no maximum sec tence.” “I am not surprised,” said John N Baldwin. “What could you expect?" “That's tough, especially on wome* who have to leave children behind them." said William N. Jamieson, who with his partner, Eugene O’Sulli van, has 45 liquor cases on the docket to be tried. "He sure did sock them,” said John Berger, who lost four cases and had three guilty pleas. “I was knocked over when he sen tenced my clients,” said James Enc lirh. “I don’t know whether I will appeal, but I think the sentences are a trifle harsh.” Morrie Schlaifer, Omaha's fighting fool, who was in court with his wlf* said “Judge McGee has a punch greater than Jack Dempsey. When he socks he socks hard.” Morrie stated that he was merely in court to say goodby to a few friends. Elmer McNally, sentenced to two years, sought to remain away from court today because he declared he was injured yesterday. Judge Mc Gee ordered Dr. Clarence Fclz, a gov ernment physician, to examine Mc Nally, who said he had an Injured spine. Foir pronounced McNally strong enough to walk alone Into court. Mc Gee stated Aat if McNally was not I resent his bond would be forfeited and a capias Issued. All those sentenced for short terms were sent either ta Hall county, L!n county or Dodge county jails.
