FARMS FOR SALE PARTICULARS "COUNTRY REAL ESTATE" CLASSIFICATIOM, 1 NO. 45 CLASSIFIED WANT ADS. TRIBUNE i By LAWRENCE MARTIN. (Copyright, 1823, bytTnlted Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept 16.

A Democratic coalition against Henry Ford and. "William O. MeAdoo Is being formed by backers of other Democratic aspirants. The Underwood, Ralston and Al Smith campaign strategists are talking about such a coalition. Their plan is to eliminate Ford and MeAdoo, and then tight it out among themselves tor the nomination.

As a result the air about the Democratic headquarter here Is full ot rumor, and mystery. Tom Taggart, Indiana Democratic chieftain; Oeorge Brennan, Illinois; Ed MOore, Ohio; Robert Scott Pennsylvania, all noted Democratic 'strategist, have been flitting about Washington mysteriously for. the past few days, keeping themselves and their activities under cover. As a result of their visit here, negotiations for a coalition have progressed to a degree that has put new energy into MeAdoo boosters, who will do their best to checkmate beforehand the effects such a powerful joining of their opponents would produce, i.

This appears to be in line with the plans Of the MeAdoo forces to use Ford's undoubted popular strength to put MeAdoo over as the Democratic nominee. MeAdoo men have been spreading the word among the organizers of Ford sentiment that Ford will not accept the nomination even if it is offered him; that he will certainly make no fight to get it and that the hope of the progressive element In the Democratic party lies in combining behind MeAdoo. WOULD MASK STRENGTH. But they have also advised the Ford workers to go on organizing for Ford, with the idea of masking McAdoo's real strength until the convention.

Then a lot of Ford delegates would be disclosed as MeAdoo delegates In disguise. It is to prevent uch a plan ucceeding that the proposed Underwood, fcalston-Smith union is proposed. So far as aurxace inaiouum Underwood and Ralston today ar moat active candidates.
