It took ballots to make a choice
and It was not until the ZSth, when
attorney general Palmer -withdrew
from the race, that the long succes

trend.
With its choice made, the conven
tion adjourned to meet again at noon
today to name a candidate for the
vice presidency.
Supporters of governor Cox won
a way to the nomination by persis
tent battering at the McAdoo and
Palmer forces in many states through
out a long series of shifting! and
rallies which left now one and then
another of the candidates la the lead.

On the opening ballot Friday the
Ohio governor was In third place.
He soon passed Palmer, however, and
on the 12th ballot went ahead of Mc
Adoo. Then began a see-sawing be

which at the end of the 9th roll call
at midnight found the two virtually

Time Off for Exchange of Congratulations.
A UDITORIUM. San. Prandsco,"Calit,
A Joly - Assembling again at
- noon today, the Democratic na
tional convention marked time, dis
posing ot routine business while
waiting for word from governor Cox,
of Ohio, as to his preference for a
running mate. A dozen names were
being discussed for the vice presi
dential selection, but it was the dis
position of the delegates and con
vention officials to eonsult the wishes
of the presidential nominee named
early this morning after one of the
moat prolonged ballot sessions in the
history of political conventions.
MaJ. Gen. I- D. Tyson, of Tennessee,
was placed in nomination by Harvey
H. Hann.t., of Nashville, after the
convention had voted down a motion
to recess until oclock this after
noon to give farther time for con
ferences. EL H. Moore, manager of C .xs suc
cessful fight for the nomination, was
endeavoring to establish long dis
tance telephone communication with
the nominee in Dayton, Ohio.
To give the convention managers
an opportunity to hear from governor
Cox. and also from some of the men
being mentioned tor ine vice presi
dential nomination, no attempt was
made to get under way promptly and
it was arranged to dispose of some
routine convention business having to
do with the national committee and
the next convention before proceed
ing to the vice presidential nomina
tion. Prayer was offered by Rev. Barry,
of Butte. Mont
No "Fixed" Slate Shown.
No slate for the vice presidency
aDDeared over nurht and the nomina
tion was apparently open on ine
floor of the convention when it re
assembled. The nomination of gov
ernor Cox had brought out sugges
tions which had been talked over for
use In the vent of his choice.
Many leaders thought that It the
vice presidential nomination went to
the east, Franklin D. Roosevelt, of
New Tork. assistant secretary of the
navy, led the list.
In considering the middle west
they were looking' toward Joseph K.

"My heart is in the grave with
our cause and I must pause until
ft comes back to me." said William J
Bryan today In giving his reason for
not making any extended statement
on the work of the Democratic na
tional convention.
"My views on the convention's ac
tion in reference to the endorsement
of prohibition are known," said Mr
Bryan. "I regard tt as a very serious
mistake it opened the door to the
nomination of a wet candidate. 1
need not repeat here what I have said
before in regard to the easion ot
others t-nmes."
Mr Bryan said he had no selection
In mind for the vice-presidency. fr
When asked If he would have anjjjs-
thing to do with the third parry
movement whloh begins its conven
tion in Chicago July 10. or would
endorse its candidate, he replied
"1 do not care to discuss any other
bovement. It took the Democratic
convention quite a while tc decide on
a candidate and the individual -.oterf
have about four months in which tc
oonatder the claims of the candidatea
I shall use a part of that four months
in considering the question
"I do not care to say anything about
congressional plans, but the question
suggests a subject which the public
cannot overlook, namely, the impor
tance of selecting a senate and house
that will refuse to Increase the alco
holic content in permitted beverages
or any other weakening of the en
forcement law."
