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 said he expected to ride

While the voting went on, Wil

should be made to make the Smith
forces disclose their strength and,

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.

Then he went Into the Garden res

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. Long
term sentences were for the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth. Kan.
