Bryan's' activity aga nat him, combined w th his failure to arouse the imagination ’ of the rank nn<! file of the delegates. I has reacted to his disadvantage, if I McAdoo gives the word, however, | Davis can be nominated. There is a ■ very large bloc of delejrstes who feel | that McAdoo, if he can't be nominated hptself, should become a l-ader in ■ the convention to effect the nomina- I tion of an out anl out progressive. I The convention fight has developed | along lines that make it hard to be- | lieve McAdoo would tell h's forces to ro to Dav s. Tom Taggart's position continues ■ to be inexplicable to many of the I delegates and leaders. IL- just st* | and alts and votes for Ralston. He | won't throw votes to Brennan and . has aroused some harsh criticism by his course in this direction. He discourages delegates outsde • his own Indiana groun who wish to I vote for Ralston at this time. He | says he wouhl prefer to have them a vote for other dark horses now. As . a result, some deb-gat. ons are wait- ■ ing for him to make some move in ’ the open before mak'ng any them- I selves Flxamplea of this are lowa. I Ohio and Oklahoma. | Finally Taggart isn't do ng any- a thing for Mi Adoo— but the curious thing about It is that, the McAdoo folks are (Deposed to be very friend- ■ Ily wth him anyhow. And there are I l iuumtuuia vol ~ In th*' convention | that w ii ultimately go when* McAdoo | tclla them l<>. and after he finds he . htm.elf can’t be named. Regarding the Smith <sndid»<*v.

Michigan furnished the high light if the 33rd ballot by returning to Senator Ferris, casting 30 votes for him.
