M Cox, three times Governor of Ohio.
was nominated for the presidency ear-
ly this morning, by the Democratic
convention in the break-up of one of
the most prolonged deadlockss in the
history of National political parties.
It took forty-four ballots to make a
1 choice and it was not until the 38th,
‘when Attorney-General Palmer with-
drew from the race that the long sue
eession of roll calls showed any defin-
ite trend.
In the turnover of Palmer delegates
Cox gained the advantage over Wil-
liam G. McAdoo, his rival for 11m
place since early in the balloting, and
that advantage never was lost.
W’ith its choice made, the conven-
tion adjourned until noon today, to
name a candidate ,for the vice—presiv
dency.
Should It be decided to give second
Dlace on the ticket to the East Frank-
lin D, Roosevelt, of New York, Assist-‘
ant Secretary of the Navy, seemed to
be a favorite, but if the nomination
aces to the West, there are several
Dossihillties talked about by the lead-
ers.
Supportersof Cox won a way to the
nomination by. persistently battering
at the McAdoo and-Palmer forces in
many States throughout a long series
of shillings and rallies which left
now one and then the other of the
candidates in the lead.
On the openingxballot Friday, Cox
was in third place. He soon passed
Palmer, howev,er and on the twelfth
ballot went ahead of McAdoo. Then

first time of all the votes cast, and on
the 44th, he was plunging toward the
required two-thilds when Colorado
changed its vote to him and made the
nomination obvious. It was made
unanimous on motion by Sam. B. Ami-
don. of Kansas, a leader of the Mo
Adoo forces.
Of the 44 ballots, two were taken
Fridm night. 14 at the first session
Saturday and 6 at the Saturday night

8 last night. ,
Cox began the fight with 134 on the
first ballot and climbed steadily until
the 15111, when he had 468%, His low-
est vote after that was on the 35th,
the first taken at last night's session.
wbrn it fell to 376%.
A curious thing in the voting for
McAdco was that he received 266 on
the first ballot the lowest cast for
him. and 266 on the last ballot. His
high water mark was 467 on the 40th
ballot. At that time Cox had 490.
Palmer opened with 256 votes. His
highest vote was 2671;; on the seventh
ballot.

had preceded it.
In the midst of the din, Chairman '

Fresh rom an over-Sunday studyof "

Monday seemingly hopelessly tied up
in a triangular deadlock between Cox.
McAdoo and Palmer.
Leaders had no predictions to make,
although they then thought Cox with
a lead of some sixty votes over M0-
Tr;
Adoo and more than 200 over Palmer
on the 22nd roll call, which event.
proved to be just the half way point,
had a decided advantage.

monstmtlo'ns in an efl'ort to force»
issue. The roll calls went through
swiftly except for those intermptiom.
Chairman Robinson and his aides on '
the platform kept up constant preo-
sure for speed.
- No noon recess was taken. The
convention drove ahead through two
new surges, one toward Palmer and
the 'other toward McAdoo, “neither/GI” ,
which produced any decided results.
All three leaders wele going strongly
when a dinner recess gave opportun-
ity for the final setting of lines when
the battle would be carried to a notch.
Galleries again were jammed and!
delegates were keyed up to a point‘
where shouts and cheers gre ‘
changes of single votes. A slight 6&1.
tinned gain for McAdoo during
first night ballot sent his partisanil oi!‘ ‘ .
into a, roaring gestlculati’ng parade ,
about the hall in which Western and '
Southern State standalds were promf- 3
nent, but which no amount of shout-
ing could induce New York or Penn-
sylvania to join. New York had reach-
ed a division of 20 for McAdob‘ and 70 ‘
for Cox. on which it stuck throughout.
while Pennsylvania as steadily had
voted 73 of its 76 delegates for Pal-
mer.
With the 37th ballot, however, Pal-
mer’s strength took another drop.
Amid jubilation 'hy McAdoo supports ~
