NEW POLITICAL DRAMA WRITTEN BY DEMOCRATS Roosevelt’s Nomination Brought About Without Tammany Efforts RASKOB SEEN AS PASSING (Copyright 19.12 by United Press I Cl lieug<», July 2. — Cihosts of old political feuds screeched in the wings of the great prize fight stadium here as fate moved its eternal finger, unknown to the uncertain delegates, to write another chapter in Democratic party history. It was the very cream of political irony when William Gibbs McAdoo. one time glittering star of the Woodrow Wilson administration, stepped back under the great spotlight last night to start the swing that nominated Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York as Democratic candidate for president of the United States. History turned its pages back eight years ago. to a similar mob scene, when McAdoo was kept from the nomination, himself, at Madison Square Garden by Alfred E. Smith who held a bunch of "die hard” delegates who prevented McAdpo’s nomination. At this point there winds into the picture the present differences between Roosevelt and Smith. When McAdoo first came here a few days ago there was talk of a possible combination tietween Smith and McAdoo, e'd political fees, to defeat Roosevelt. Seasoned political observers wondered how it could stick, even though McAdoo is none too kindly disposed toward Roosevelt. Dramatically. McAdoo told them last night. To a few on the platform the answer came, even before the tall Georgian, still spry and erect, stepped before the microphone. Grimly he said: “Now I'll square myself." He did. To those who watched the Madison Square Garden fight drag itself out, bitterly, for days and nights, it w’as McAdoo "paying back" Al Smith. Smith's attempt to stop the nomination of Roosevelt, crumpled and folded up. McAdoo triumphantly grinned, masterfully, as the galleries booed. The son-in-law of Woodrow Wilson now comes back into the political drama as an imposing figure, after eight years in the background. It was politically expedient —and he still is a master of political strategy —to hop, agilely, on the Roosevelt band wagon at the proper time to help him toward election to the senate in California. If Roosevelt wins — CANI’INI'ED TO PAGE SIX o Gunman Are Sought Harrisburg, 111.,, July 2—(UP) — One of the biggest manhunts in the history of Southern Illinois swung into action today upon the trail of three gunmen who last night killed the Harrisburg chief of police and fatally wounded a state highway patrolman. Chief of police Dan Law was shot to death and highway Patrolman Grady Sutton was fatally wounded (He died in a hospital here today. Law and Sutton were shot as they were escorting the trio to jail in their automobile after arresting them on suspicion. A broken windshield in the automobile, which had been cruising about Harrisburg, attracted the attention of the officers.

INDIANA GETS ! INLANDSLIDE Hoosiers Beaten Out of Turning Tide When California Changes Chicago, July 2.— (U.R) —lndiana [democracy rode the Roosevelt band | wagon today but in much less prominent position titan it had hoped to win at the national convention. I Delegates from California, led |by William Gibbs McAdoo, swung ito the support of Franklin D. RooseIvelt for the presidential nomination 'on the fourth ballot, precluding Indiana’s efforts to start d stampede Howard the New York executive. When the roll call reached Indiana, it was obvious that Roosevelt had clinched the nomination. Frank McHale, chairman of the Indiana group, had aligned his forces with the Illinois delegation. When the Illinois vote for Roosevelt was announced, it was disc'.osled that tlie two states had linked I their strength and had been wait- ' ling for the decisive moment to give I Roosevelt the ballots necessary for I nomination. 1 It was obvious that although Indiana was uninstructed, its strength v.as firmly controlled by McHale, R. Earl Peters, state chairman, and Paul V. McNutt, candidate for i governor. The first ballot brought out only 13 votes for Roosevelt. ' ■On the second, two complementary ■ | votes to Gov. Harry F. Byrd of [Virginia and Janies Reed, Missouri, , I were switched to Roosevelt. Ali'fred E. Smith had two on each ballot and Newton D. Baker had eight. The third ballot, taken just before the convention adjourned yesterday morning, was unchanged. During adjournment, McHale, Peters and McNutt discussed the ’ situation v.'ith Illinois leaders. They ’ determined on a cautious course, j They concluded that Roosevelt's strength would progress slowly, and that it would be wise to wait until it reached the 720 mark and ' then throw their support behind , him.

DRYS ASSAIL MAJOR PARTIES Prohibition Party Leaders Gather In Indianapolis For Meet Indianapolis, July 2.— (U.R) —Republicans and Democrats alike were branded as philanderers who have never welcomed the cause of prohibition with sincerity, in a mass meeting at Cadle tabernacle here last night, to consider the prohibition party’s national ticket this year. Hope was expressed generally among the prohibition party leaders. that U. S. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, would accept the party’s nomination for presidency, at the convention here Monday. E. Howard Cadle. Indianapolis evangelist. in ills speech of acceptance of the gubernatorial nomination, praised Borah highly for his rebellion against the "moist" Republican I platform. | Leaders were frankly dubious, however, over the prospect that i Borah would align himself with the Prohibition party, or affiliate directly with any other third party | movement. D. Leigh Colvin of New York, 'national chairman of the party, | welcomed the opportunity to make |p clear-cut wet-and-dry issue with Hlie leading parties. He expressed I confidence that millions of drys ! would forsake both old standards, now that they clearly represent the ■ wet cause. o Farley Sees Victory Convention Headquarters, Chicago.

Chicago, July 2 —(UP) —‘The Democratic nitional convention buried its hatchets today and made ready to give royal welcome to its Presidential nominee. Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the end of his air voyage from Albany. Roosevelt, center of attack from a group of eight ‘‘stop Roosevelt” candidates, but victor overwhelmingly last night, chose to speed here by plane to express his thanks and say woids of inspiration to the Democracy at the outset of the 1932 battle for the White House. The convention's only business today, beyond greeting their new leader, the Governor of New York was to make his running mate, probably speaker John Nance Garner, whose selection was forecast e.irlier this week by the United Press. One ballot, it was anticipated, would suffice to choose Garner who withdrew from the Presidential race, and Thereby loosed a blockade that for a time threatened Roosevelt’s nomination chances. Nine hundred forty five of the 1148% votes cast went in Roosevelt's column. For economy’s sake, Roosevelt said in answering the inform d notification of his selection, he decided to come here by ,plane to accept official notification. It would put bim face to face with the men and women who named him. Moreover, it would give an opportunity to start the battle for Democracy’s capture of the White House after 12 years of exile. The election fight will be made on one of the shortest platforms in history. It demands repeil of the 18th amendment and uige- immediate restoration of beer by modification of the Volstead Act.
