Smith McAdoo Fight Shapes Democratic Convention
Hadbourne's visit to the governor and Smith headquarters solidified that Smith would not consider the vice presidency. The Smith McAdoo struggle grows complex with danger of the convention becoming a religious belief battleground. Tom Taggart urged Indiana delegates to stay loyal as outside alliances shift. Prospects today favor either Smith or McAdoo advancing, or a dark horse emerging before a tourney. The contest draws nationwide interest as a clash of progressive and reactionary forces.
