July 4—His disappointment apparent to all, Tom Taggart Thursday night watched the support he had mustered for Ralston earlier in the day dwindle away. When Mississippi went over to Ralston on the forty-ninth ballot and Missouri followed a few ballots later it was agreed by all observers that Taggart had decided the “Great Moment" had come. Taggart himself insisted he had not solicited the support and that it was given nis candidate entirely without invitation. Regardless of this, the short lived “boom” hasn’t helped Ralston any, and will make it more difficult to start a real landslide, such as Taggart has dreamed of, at any later time during the life of the convention. With Smith and McAdoo supporters still sitting tight, this is a fatal time for any dark horse to be brought out. REALTOR PICNIC JULY 16 Annual Frolic to Be Held at Walnut Gardens.

STUDENTS RESIST CALL OF SUMMER Enrollment of 427 Recorded in Vacation Classes for High School and Grade Work at Shortridge.

The lure of the open road, of camping trips and cross-country hikes fails to ensnare the fancies of 427 summer school students taking high school and grade work daily at Shortridge High School. Three hundred fifty-seven students are enrolled in high school subjects, according to William N. Otto, director. ‘‘Seventy’ pupils are doitig work in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades.” said J. F. Thornton, director of the grade work. “All are trying to make up grades so they can keep up with other members of their classes.” In the high school work, mathematics. English, history, civics and economics are offered. No student can *ake more than two subjects, for which two credits are received. History Popular "The enrollment in history is unusually large,” Otto said, “because of

RELIGIOUS FERVOR HOLDS DELEGATES Compromise of Leaders Seen as Only Solution, By Times Special NEW YORK, July 4.—Routine duties of home and office, hotel bills and sickness, factors which have had important effects on many a past political convention when tired delegates were ready to pick any one in order to get home, are to a great extent offset at the Democratic convention by the religious fervor of the backers of the two leading candidates. Never before in American history have two factions of a political party held out so rigidly against one another, and the longer they hold out the more bitter they become. Many of McAdoo’s delegates have had to go home, as have also many of Smith’s, but alternates are right on the job. Forewarned before they came that a deadlock was in prospect, many of them are prepared to stay “until hell freezes over” rather than see their hated rival win out. The only possible termination that now seems in prospect is one in which both McAdoo and Smith are left out In the cold. Until they see themselves as others see them, and in the selection of a compromise candidate, nothing can or will be accomplished. Ralston is not yet out of the picture as that compromise. Taggart still insists he is waiting for Smith and McAdoo to realize they are “dead” before he tries his financial

flight—and that’s politics.
