ROOSEVELT IS PUT IN FIELD BY NEW YORKER .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ballot, gain the 70 more needed to nomiutte Franklin 1). Roosevelt as the Democratic Presidential candidate. The Roosevelt -strategy, devised last night, is for Alabama, the first state on the roll-call, to yield to , John E. Mack of New York. Mack will place Roosevelt in nomination. The psychological effect of having Roosevelt's name presented | ftrst was the object of this plan. [ • This convention surprised every(Jjbe early today by voting more than two-thirds fcr a wringing wet .epeal platform plank. • Afte a turbulent night session, the convention voted 934 3-4 against 213 ::-4 to stand on a platform demanding —not merely submitting — repeal of the 18th amendment and calling upon congress in the memlime to modify the Volstead act to restore beer. Thia Is as much as the most ardent wet ever asked for. . One week ago such i vote was thought (beyond probability. So. although the probability of Roosevelt Ibeing stopped was shrinking re-, idly today, convention ' pr<.g!M>slicato.s were moving cau-’ tiously. Governor (Albert C. Ritchie of i Maryl ind and Newton 1). Baker of ' Ohio continued in the forefront as . possible compromise iandidates. But the anti-Roosevelt groups are i as disorganized a- they were when tiey came here last week. Almost stipei human st ategy is necessary >jv-v to pull them together in time I to stop Roosevelt. The time is growing short. i Balloting for President was ex-’i pei ted to start late tonight or to-I morrow. The convention got only as fir | aj the prohibition vote in the platform tight last night. Adjournafflent was taken at 1 A. M. to give acierates a few hours sleep. They still had to consider the soldier bonus and several other planks offered by Governor Murray of Oklahoma. There was also a I plank for (protection of depositors in closed -banks offered by William • Mae Adoo former secretary of treasury. ’ After the platform is adopted—ad it is the shortest in major pat ty • I— » —II ,

history, probably, a simple* direct turn on the circus business again and place the numerous 'presidential candidates In nomination. This was due to continue possibly late into the night. (Carefully organized demonstrations were prepared fjr the numerous candidates. The Roosevelt plan fcr Albania, the first state on the roll-cull, to yield to John E. Ma.k of New York who has been selected to place Roosevelt In nomination, is not as simple a matter as it seems. New Yoik is not solidly behind j Roosevelt. The head of the New IYo k delegation is John F. Curry 'chief of Tammany Hall. If Alabama merely yielded to New York. John F. Curry would take the floor. Nobody knows what he would do. Certainly he would not be likely to place Ro sevelt in Nomination. So it w is arranged that Alabama should yield to ‘John E. Mack of New York." There was some objection but the procedure was found to be enthely regular by pa liameh tary experts. So. there being nothing Cui ry could do about it. he acquiesced. Thus everything was set provided former Governor Brandon of Alabama, chai man of his delegation does not forget his cue. Brandon is the man who for 103 ballots in the Madison -Square Gar- - den convent ion in 1924, opened I every roll call by shouting "Tweni ty-four votes for Underwood.’’ This Roosevelt stroke revealed ' the intense activity on the ipart of i the contesting forces here. Roosevelt goes against the field of "t'avo ite son" candidates with i comm mding support, still wellknit, that appea s to make him a go d bet so rnomination on an early ballot. James A. Farley. Roosevelt man- | ager, claimed Roosevelt would have 1704 votes when the balloting l>eI gins. Able political strategists are enlisted among the tanks of the AntiRoosevelt forces which include Alfred E. Smith. But Smith ; layed a lone hand for several days, and now that the issue Is at hand, still is not ready to say just how the job is to be done. The st ategy of the Anlt-Ro sevelt coalition was to scatter .their votes in the early balloting and i thus show as large an opposition vote as (possible. Their plan of campaign, then, will be to held on I until strength develops for one
