PLANS MAKE TO CARRY TICKET TO VICTORY (Continued From Page One) Frank L. Polk, manager of the preconvcntjon campaign, has declined to accept the posh and Davis does not wish to be placed in tlio position of attempting to overthrow the present machinery Immediately. The session lasted only a few minutes and no business was discussed. Davis and Bryan United Press Headquarters. Waldorf Hotel, New York, July 10 — (Spec)al to Daily Democrat)—John W. Davis of West: Virginia for prosi- 1 dent and Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska for vice president. That democratic ticket, coupling the conservative east with the progress ve west, was brought out of the most bitterly contested convention in political history at 2:25 a. m today. | The nomination of the Nebraska governor was forced by a coterie of democratic leaders, after he had been! selected personally by Davis as hisj running mate. It came on the first ballot, furnishing a curious antlcl'miix to the fierce battle over the presidential nominat’on. which ended j in a compromise on the 103rd ballot late yesterday afternoon. Selection of Bryan was- made only after the democrat's had been twice turned down by prospective candidates for the vice presidency. Sen-; ator Walsh of Montana. Davis’ "first choice, formally refused the offer, stating he could best serve his party n the senate. Edwin T. Meredth of lowa refused to run with Davis on the ground that he was too conservative to appeal to the agricultur at west. Davis was unwilling to accept any of -lie ti ne candidates nominated formally. A recess of one hour was called at midnight while Davis went into conference w th leaders at the history democratic rendezvous, the Man hattan club, across the street from Madison Square Garden. When Bryan was finally hit upon. Chairman Cordei! Hull. Tom Tag ga«. Senator Pat Harrison and other leaders, bareheaded, rushed back to the Garden to get Bryan's acceptance. He met them at the door, and speedily gave his consent. It was necessary to place him In nomination and Harry B. F.eharty was rounded up to name him. Bryan himself told his sponsor to make the speech "short and snappy." Fleharty complied and the balloting began. Worn out by two weeks of bickering und three hours of oratory during the evening, hundreds of the delegates had departed for home. The galleries were all hut deserted. Less than 500 spectators remained of the vast crowd that jammed the galleries to give Governor Smith a thunderous ovation and Davis a cordial welcome. Chairman Wulsh had turned the gavel over to Representative Barkley of Kentucky, who hud great difficulty in controlling the crowd after the hallotinc got under way. But the din that marked* the earlier sessions was gone. Voices rang out clear und sharp In the huge hull. Humorists made the balloting more difficult. They voted for men and women whose names were unfamiliar to the tailey clerks. Bryan got away slhwljr until the word was passed that he was Davis’ choice.

Illinois led the switching which ended in Bryan amassing a total of 739 votes, more than thn necessary twothirds. He was followed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who cast New York's 90 votes solidly for Bryan. Then Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City whipped his delegation into the line anti the landslide was on. George L. Berry of Tennessee, sol-dier-labor candidate, finished with 204 when the switching ended. But the soldier-labor crowd, aided Jjy a rowdy bunch the police finally ejected from the hall, kept up a constant cry for Berry. Although Colonel Alvin Owsley, former commander of the American Legion, was withdrawn by Texas, lie finished with 16 votes. Bennett (Mark, son of the late Speaker Champ Clark, of Missouri, had a total of 41 votes and Mrs. i>>. roy Springs, of South Carolina 18. The total vote was announced in silence. Governor Bryan’s vote was greeted by an outburst of applause. The crowd made « rueh for the doors before tile full list of names could be read or the motion to adjourn the convention put. ! Barkley announced that Permanent Chairman Walsh was to make the | formal notification speech to Davis and Temporary Chairman Harrison would notify Bryan. The hand struck up “Home, Sweet Home,” and the crowd trickled out In* !to the night. The convention was ended. Woman Held Out New York. July 10 —In tne roar ano j excitement that followed Chairman Walsh’s acclamation of John Davis' nomination, came the unheard protests of Mrs. Alexander Thompson i Thomas C. Burke and James C. Stuart in the Oregon delegation that die nomination of Davis was not nnnimous and that 'We cast our last as well as our first ballot for William Gibbs McAdoo." They felt their protest was ignored rather than drowned out in the on | suing noise and a writt en protest was jsent to Chairman Walsh. "We request the secretary of this l convention." it read, "to register our names on this, the last ballot, as vot ;ing for William Gibbs McAdoo. We protest any statement that J. W. Dawis’ nomination is unanimous." * • ’ BRYAN ACTIVE AS GOV. OF NEBRASKA (Continued From Page One! the presidency. .

was held at Edwards Congregational church at 9 a. m. A thousand flags hung at half mast, store windows showed drawn shades; the town fathers have decreed this a day of mourning. Flowers were banked high at the church at an early hour. The doors were open to nil, and even before the body of young Ooolidge had been moved from the station, the townspeople had began to fill the pews. The president and Mrs. Coolidge arose before the train entered the station afler passing a reasonably good night. They had retired shortly after leaving Baltimore last night in an effort to gain strength for the day ordeal. Together with their elder son, John, they Were quartered in the final coach of the train. Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns, intimate friends of the presidential family, and James F. Coupal, white house physician, shared the same ] car. Breakfust was served to the family in their car. Shortly afterward they' were joined by William M.

Mrs.] Andrew Goodhue, mother of Mrs. Cool-! idge, lives there. Colonel John Coolidge. the presi-l dent's father, waited within the house for the family.

The elder Coolidge is 79. hut a life I time upon the farm has left him I straight, strong and tanned. The boy| Calvin was his closest friend during! the last few ye-ars.
