Mississippi Slump at Democratic Convention and McAdoo Bond
New York July 2 At the Democratic national convention in New York delegates debate McAdoo support and Mississippi signals decamping on the forty third ballot as leaders try to end the deadlock. A long night of tense balloting shows McAdoo near 60 percent in some counts with Go Smith trailing and Davis fading. Mississippi may desert if new agreements fail, while Arkansas and Virginia hold out for favorite sons in a fight that could reshape the convention’s outcome.
