CHIEF8 OF RIVAL FORCES IN
LAST HOUR CONFERENCE. '
The chiefs of tho 'SloAdoo, Palmor
and Cox forces conferred constantly
throughout the night and durlnjr tho
early morning up to tho hour of tho
meeting of tho convention.
At 9.30 the hour at which the battle,
of the ballots was to have been re
sumed, there was little going on ioi
the Auditorium eaVe a battle of hand
bills. Hugo quantities of campaign '
literature were dumped Into tho flghtl
Stickers, posters, booklets, postal
cards and even dummy newspapers
were distributed through the hall.'
Delegates' chairs wre plastered with
them. Tho eleventh hour publicity
drive eclipsed anything in that U&eU'
heretofore seen. Bvery candidate,
apparently, believing this to bo the
last day, used up all the remainder
of his printed ammunition In one
farewell advertising barrage.
Tho favorite air for tbe band during
the wait for tho officers of the con
ventlon seemed to be "I'm Forever
mowing nubbles." Every one ot the
enthuslasts'seemed to feel that the air
was particularly appropriate for tho
other fellow. There certainly U ft
crop of bubbles being blown In the
convention for somebody, but nobody
was wise enough to forecast whoM
bubbles were going to bo buret to
day. MI1WH
There was conference after confer . .
