( I TIIE MORNING OltEC ONI AN, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1920 OLD SONGS CAUSE FACTIONSTO FORGET Political Rivalries Dropped in Roar of Old Favorites. NOISE IS. UNPRECEDENTED Cheers, Singing, Football Yells and Parades Follow Nomination ot Each of 10 Candidates. SAX FRANCISCO, June SO. Lifted eut of Itself by hours of oratory, old Bongs that tugged at the heartstrings and the throbbing appeal of a mighty pipe organ, the democratic national convention brought nomination day to a tremendous emotional crisis that had nothing to do with candidates of platform issues. "actional differences were forgot ten, political jealousies were swept aside, and from the seething tumult on the floor to the singing, cheering thousands in the packed galleries, the vast assembly gave Itself up at in tervals without stint to a great broth erly reunion as unexpected as it was overwhelming. The scene was unparalleled In the memory of the oldest convention ob server. Even, before the convention ' was called to order before noon the hall was touched with the hint of what was to come. Rooters for Palmer and for Cox had come armed . for gTeat demonstrations. High against the wall of the west ern gallery a red-coated band from Ohio was placed, fronted by a solid block of rooters who got into action before the delegates had filled more than half their seats. Palmer tletk In Ecstaey. When the first nominating orators tiad been heard and the names of Sen ator Owen. ex-Ambassador Gerard and Senator Hitchcock had been placed on the ballot amid liberal ap plause, Florida yielded to Pennsyl vania, and the name of A. Mitchell Palmer was presented to set the con vention on its wild ecstaey of singing and cheering. The Palmer men were rendy. Up in front of the platform a long, slim, red-headed yell leader waved frantic arms from rickety perch on a chair, while a California woman in white drove the demonstration for ward with almost equal vigor. The shouting of the Palmer adherents Frew and swelled until a Georgia delegate with the state standard started the march of states. The tumult lasted more than half an hour. Around and around the aisles the procession went, the stand ards bobbing awkwardly high over the heads of the marchers. On the platform a score of Palmer women crowded to the speakers stand waving flags, while the band Joined heartily in the songs, which , were caught up all over the hall and galleries. Football Tell Given. "When Governor Cox was named It was the turn of the Cox supporters, and they came to the task with a will Again more than half an hour was given over to the uproar and sing ing, to the parading of state stand ards led by Ohio and Kentucky. Yells given with the barking note of football rooters came down from the Ohio section in the gallery. The Ohio: band never paused. Again and again it drew new cheers from the south-: em delegates with the strains of "Dixie." or sought and found men of Irish descent with the "Wearing of the Green." It took much effort by Governor Cox' managers to still the uproar and let the business of nomination pro ceed. Chairman Robinson pounded unceasingly with his gavel when more than half an hour had passed, and finally the rooters fought their way back to .the gallery and the delegates back to their seats to await the next act. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, "among those seconding Governor Cox' nomination, struck a note that proved the convention had been keyed up. He struck hard at the newspa pers of San Francisco which pub lished the story of the governor's di vorce ten years ago and a burst of cheers that rang out answered his thrust. S'tw York Delegate Fired. Then Chairman Robinson recog nized W. Bourke Cockran of New York to nominate Governor Smith. As he came to the platform the delegates greeted him as an old friend. the first that found a quick answer. Mr. Cockran lavished Unstinted ad miration on President Wilson. Nearly every word and gesture ; brought cheers and shouts from the floor and Cockran s tribute to Gov crnor Smith set the New York dclega tion going with American flags and much cheering. The demonstration started slowly. Cockran. made his way through ad mirers on the platform. On the floor, back with his own delegation, he was accorded a vigorous reception. New Jersey folks came over to join in Then the bandmaster, far up In his callery. had an Inspiration. Pre viously he had been playing "Tarn many" over and over again in recog- tation of the New York delegation but now the strains of "The Side walks' of New York" came down from tho left. The big organ took up the iiomcly old tune of 25 years ago. It was too much for the crowd Throuehout the hall gray-haired men end women began to sing, lured by strains that harked back to their day of youth. A Jerseyite seised his state standard and marched across to th New York section. Up came the New York standard and again the march 1 was on, the band playing "Jtosey O'Orady," "The Bowery," "After the Ball" and a dozen other old-timers. Nons-a Klrc Whole Srsalon. T'almer banners. Cox hatbands and tokens of other candidates were min ified in the throng without regard to the affiliation. It seemed as though the whole convention had gone sink ing mad. Men and women and old flnd young, they surged along, laugh ing and singing the old songs until every state standard had joined in the grotesque HnS. Gradually the cheering subsided and the convention went back to nom ination speeches. It did not know Itself, however, for he delegates had hardly settled Into theor seats when Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City, In one of the shortest convention speeches on record and with tho ringing denunciation for those who said W. G. McAdoo would not accept a nomination, placed the ex-sccretary's name before the con vention. "I had intended to rriake an address presenting tha name Of a candidate to this convention," said Mr. Jenkins, "but on account of the insistent and rersistent requests from Mm that his hnm should not bs presented In a peech, I have decided not to do bo. ure from the spirit manl- y own delegation and in tin we shall draft him for of the nation. ' " Acceptance Is Promised. We know that If so drafted he will accept the nomination, and any ru mors of telegrams supposed to have Deen received by me or anybody else, r.ow or In the future, denying that he would accent the nomination are falsehoods perpetrated by the enemies of our party. I place in nomination William G. McAdoo." For a fourth time nandemonlum broke . loose. Cheers and shouts swept up from the hall and down from the galleries. Delegates were on their teet again striking out for another parade, as though the day had just begun. ,It was the western men and women who led. The Washington state standard came bobbing to the front with Delaware in close pursuit. Montana, Oregon, Idaho and Texas joined. North and South' Dakota, Kansas and California and other states keep pace. Here and there over the hall other standards rocked and swayed as struggles took place to get them in motion against opposition. A raiding party of McAdoo's adherents charged the speakers' stand and car ried it by storm. "Mae'll Do" la Chorus. Tramping along In time to the pounding of the drums of the bands, all that could be heard above the general din, the demonstrators chant ed "Mae'll do," "Mae'll do," over" and over in a droning chorus. In the Mis souri section a desperate struggle to get the state standard into the ranks resulted in its destruction. Somebody reached the place before the speakers' standard carrying a great lone-star banner, the Texas state flag. There was a rush and swirl in the aisles as the standards came hurry ing forward. Hands reached for them i from the platform. Halt" the states of the union were In the gvoup of stand ards growing up like a great triangle before the platform. The hall rocked every minute with a new outburst of cheering. Tennessee and North Carolina stand ards came staggering forward in eager hands. New volleys of cheering greeted them. Florida came in and from the surging mass of McAdoo sup porters at the foot of -the" speakers' stand shouta of "Come on, New York! went up. Battle Fought Over Standard. Over where the New York delega tion, filled a great block of seats the state . standard . rocked and wavered with a struggle about it. Again and again it rose in air as though about to join in the demonstration, only to be pulled, back again. Meanwhile the rush of standard bearers in the melee at the platform had been swarming the press stands in seeking a road to the stand itself. They climbed . over the barriers and tramped recklessly over desks., in different to wires and typewriters, despite efforts of the police and con vention officials to Stop them. Slowly but finally the demonstra tion subsided like the passing of a storm, but it was long before Chair man Robinson could recognize New Jersey for the nomination of Governor Edwards and the band broke out into "There'll Be a Hot Time," to the huge delight of the crowd which swayed and gurgled with mirth. First Hisses Heard. In presenting the governor's name, Charles F. X. O'Brien went into the prohibition 1-ssue, appealing for per sonal liberty policies. He was cheered, also hissed from some points on the floor, the first sign of disapproval of principals in the long day of ferment and uproar. When he con cluded. Governor Edwards was cheered vigorously and the band continued Its musical reminder of other and wetter days, playing "How Dry I Am." Eight hours after the convention came to order and at the close of the ession that fairly beggared descrip ion for color and sound and unusual features Representative Flood of Virginia moved a recess, and with one last terrific roar of aye" the red delegates began streaming out o await the battle on the platform tomorrow.

Glolitti's Return to Helm of Gov ernment Believed Will Restore Nation's Prestige. BY BEATRICE BASKERVILLE. (Copyright by the New York WoMd. Pub lished by Arrangement.) ROME, June 30. (Special Cable.) Comments upon Glolitti's return to the helm of Italy's! government are favorable and the prevailing impres sion is that this experienced politi cian, by immediately introducing bills for drastic reforms in finance and foreign policy, and especially his en ergetic measures of taxation of war profiteers and his intention "to en ter upon regular relations with the Russian government without restric tions." has deprived the socialists of the greater part of their political thunder. Their discomfort was evi dent and found expression in fre quent noisy interruptions, which the premier took very good-humoredly. I questioned prominerft deputies of various groups. Their impressions may be summed up as "Giolitti means business and will restore the country's internal discipline and also its pres tige abroad by calming the labor un rest and also by reducing the enor mous surplus of paper money by means of the drastic taxation of large fortunes." assembled to day to hear candidates placed In nomination and with another last minute change in the plans of the McAdoo forces which finally pre cluded the presentation, of his name. There were no changes respecting the placing of other candidates In nomination and the prospects were the convention would go through in a continuous session today and get all the nominating speeches out of the' way, leaving tomorrow free for the balloting. Although it was said by administra tion chiefs that the sub-committee of nine drafting the platform had virt ually agreed in all important par ticulars, the sub-committee after a brief conference, with the entire membership of the resolutions com mittee made a public announcement that it was not ready to report and would work in secret until 7:30 to night, when another report would be made to the full committee Meanwhile administration chiefs declared that a prohibition plank, "slightly moist," had been agreed upon which would preclude the adop tion of William Jennings Bryan's bene dry plank. They further pre dicted with finality that the league of nations plank would be adopted, "just as Woodrow Wilson wants it. without the- dotting of an '1 or the crossing of a- t . Cox Delegation Musical. At 11:14 Chairman Robinson began whacking the gavel and called on the delegates to get into th-elr seats. "We're ready," came the shout from several places on the floor. ' The Cox delegation Insisted oA having a demonstration and a song first, however, and the con vention waited until they got through. There was a Cox demonstration of short duration at its conclusion. A Cox banj, garbed in brilliant red uniforms, vied with the convention band In blaring out airs from a point in one of the galleries. Chairman Rcbinton wanted to start up but was In a tolerant mood and let tne music go on. The glee club which accompanied the Cox delegation joined in me music ana entertained the con vention. Meanwhile the platform framers got work that William J. Bryan had no intention of abandoning his fight for a dry plank and that he was more dei termined than ever tc carry his fight against - any "slightly moist" plank ujnu tne noor or tne convention. The convention band and the Cox bind soon got Into a contest. The convention band played "Over There" and the Cox band came back with Dixie," to the delight of the south ern delegates. The convention band countered with "Hail, Hail, 'the Gang's All Here," and the organist played a neutral part, joining in with each. Electricity was in the air. Suppressed expectation of a noisy and spectacular day pervaded the hall and iouna its outlet in songs at times. When the Cox band started up "Old Kentucky Home" and the rolling tones of the great organ thundered into tne chorus, the delegates joined in with a mighty jvave. Prayer rltrally Heard. While Chairman Robinson stood ra- tiently at the speaker's desk waiting for a chance to start up the conven tion, the songfest went steadilv on. "Maryland, My Maryland." and other airs flowed In a steady stream. finally Chairman Robinson got the onvention quieted and. it heard an opening prayer by Rabbi Meyer of San Francisco. The singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" with the band and organ accompanying followed. On motion of Samuel King of Salt Lake City the convention adopted a resolution fixing the representation of the Panama canal zone at two delegates in future conventions. At 11:36 o'clock. Chairman Robin son called for nominations and di rected the secretary to call the roll of states. Alabama passed and Arizona yielded to Oklahoma. D. Hayne Linebaugh of Muskogee took the platform to place the name of Senator Owen In nomination. Mr. Linebaugh spoke 17 minutes placing Senator Owen in nomination and at the conclusion of his sp-jech the Oklahoma delegation broke out with a demonstration, which, .how ever, was not prolonged. The band tried'to help it out with a galloping air. When it subsided Governor Brough of Arkansas seconded the nomination of Senator Owen. GIOLITTI EXPECTED TO LAST New Premier of Italy Makes Favor able Impression With French. (Copyright by. the New YorkVorld. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS, June 30. (Special Cable.) Signor Giolitti's programme speech before the Italian parliament-is sized Up by the French foreign office as Indicating a cabinet combination which has a fair chance of holding its own, both in domestic and foreign policy. ' "Giolitti has spoken like a man who can do things," about expresses the French sentiment following his speech which, as . the Qua! d'Orsay information shows, has roused a sim ilar feeling in Italy itself. A fresh outbreak of rioting In Milan, where 400 demonstrators are reported to have been arrested yes terdajr, does not militate against the favorable impression caused here by the speech, inasmuch as, according to Frenchmen, the new cabinet has not vt bad time to take tho troubled situation iu hand after the visibly lax system in vogue under the former regime. , What Frenchmen above all hope for from the new, cabinet is a comparatively speedy settlement of the outstanding Adriatic difficulties with Jugo-Hlavia, Albania and Greece Premier Giolitti's declaration that he wished to see Albania independent with the abolition of the Italian pro tectorate excited much interest In French official circles.

' said the governor, "is the only state mentioned in the Bible, because we read there that 'Noah opened the window of the ark and saw.' " At that the convention got its first good laugh of the day. At the close of Governor Brough's seconding speech there was another Owen demonstration which the band helped out again. Mrs. Susan F. Fitzgerald of Massa chusetts, the first woman to make a seconding speech in the convention, then took the platform. The conven tion stood and paid her a tribute with applause and cheers. Mrs. Fitzgerald, gowned In a plain blue dress, stood smiling a-t the desk as the band played "Oh, You Beautiful Doll." When the noise quieted down she be gan her speech in a clear, distinct voice. Gerard's Kamc Mentioned. ' The call of the states was resumed. Arkansas yielded to South Dakota and U. S. G. Cherry of Sioux Falls, S. D., presented the name of James W. Gerard, ex-ambassador to Germany. Mr. Cherry proposed that the con vention nominate such a man as Gerard for "the top of the ticket and another for the bottom of the ticket," and the convention construed that as word that Gerard was a vice- presidential candidate as well. There were no seconding speeches for Gerard and the roll of the states was called again. California and Colo rado passed. Connecticut was called and John S. Crosby presented the name of Homer S. Cummings, na tional chairman. Demonstrations for Cummings were rather frequent as Mr Crosby got Into his speech and mentioned the national chairman's name. He drew a particularly loud outburst when he referred to the chairman's keynote speech of Monday, the opening day of the convention. Mr. Crosby told the convention' that Mr. Cummings was the one man upon whom all the factions could unite and referred to him as the man who could follow "the spiritual leadership of Woodrow Wilson." As the "speaker delivered that sentence, he turned and raised his arms to the portrait of the president hanging before the audience. Delegates and galleries responded with a demonstration of applause and cheers. Connecticut Starts im6n&tratlon; At the- conclusion of the nominat ing speech the. band broke into the StafSfiangicd Banner, and the Con necticut delegation led a demonstra tion In which scattering delegates from the spaces of other states joined. Mrs. Force Parker of California seconded the nomination of Mr. Cum mings. Mrs, Parker, who came from demonstration of thanks. Ira C. Rothberger of Denver. Colo., also seconded the nomination of Mr. Cummings. Characterizing Mr. Cummings as the "harbinger of hope for the op pressed peoples of the world." Mr. Rothberger closed his seconding speech, the band whooped it up with the "Red, White and Blue." and the Cummings men among the delegates went in for "three cheers" and more demonstrations for the national chairman. Then the call of the states was re sumed. Delaware yielded to Nebraska and former Governor Schallenberger presented the name of Senator Gil bert M. Hitchcock, the administration leader in the treaty fight in the sen ate. There was no seconding speech for Mr. Hitchcock, and when the call of the state was resumed Florida yielded to Pennsylvania, and John H. Bigelow took the platform and presented the name of Attorney-General Palmer. Palmer IVelae Arranged. While Bigelow was speaking the Palmer forces throughout the hall were busy quietly organizing their demonstration, distributing flags and noise-making devices sand getting their rooters Into place. The conven tion was looking forward to the demonstiatlon as the first tangible evidence of how great the Palmer strength was. Mr. Bigelow was Interrupted by Thomas A. Niland of East Boston, Mass., who demanded the privilege to ask Mr. Bigelow a question and threw the convention into an uproar. Cries of "sit down," and "throw him out," cut the air and Fjftmer supporters ad vanced menacingly on the man. Above the uproar, Chairman Robinson shouted that the delegate was out of order ani could not interrupt the speaker. The convention gave a roar of approval to thu chairman's ruling ana in liana subsided. "I revere this man," shouted Mr. Bigelow, when he got attention again, "because his enemies are the enemies of our ETovernment, and his foes are the foes of our government." The conclusion of Bigelow's speech was tne signal for the Palmer demon stration to cut loose. The, Georgia state standard was first up and in the procession and Pennsylvania's fol lowed. It was the first real nolsv and pro longed demonstration of the conven tion. It seemed as if about half the delegates on the floor were standintr. but many obviously were up to see the spectacle. The voting strength of the Palmer forces could not be as sessed by the size of the demonstra tion. The band opened with "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah," and the Palmer men pranced about chanting the cele brated parody. Glory, Glory, Penn sylvania." Other States Join. There was the usual amount of flag waving, hip-hurrahing, ringing of cowbells, din of noise-making devices. singing ana yelling-, as the proces sion went on the Rhode Island, Flor ida and Hawaii standards came up from the flor and went in the line. The standards of Maine and Porto Rico also got into the parade as it churned around the convention floor. The maroon Palmer pennants and small American flags were carried by the marchers as they cut lanes through the crowd of delegates and sang their marching song over and over again. The same tune was kept up by the band in the organ loft and in between times a crew of cheer leaders kept the convention floor pepped up. After It had been on for 15 minutes the demonstration showed not a sign of diminishing in enthusiasm or the volume of the noise it produced. A woman with a bright green skirt got on the speaker's platform and stirred up a new tempest of noise while the cheer leaders kept up their work In all parts of the hall. Five minutes later Michigan's standard dropped into line In the parade. A great deal of the cheering began to die out, but the "Glory, Glory," singsong kept up, led by the band with its booming drums. There wae a momentary revival when the Alaska standard was carried into the line of the procession. Women Wave Pine. Several women who had climbed to the front of the chairman's plat form got a six-foot American flag away from the marchers and waved it in cadence with the music. As the half-hour mark approached the band stopped, but it was the signal for a renewed outburst of cheers and yells of "We want Palmer" from the floor, and presently the same old tune was struck up again. Senator Robinson, apparently pre paring to try to restore order, cleared the Palmer rooters away from the front of the platform. He looked out doubtfully for a while and then brought down the big gavel with a resounding whack. It only had the effect of increasing the noise at first. The noise had lasted just a half hour when the repeated pounding of the chairman showed signs of gain ing headway against the tide of Pal mer enthusiasm. All of the state standards were back in their places and the parade was all but broken up, but the Pennsylvania delegates were not ready to keep quiet and they kept their megaphones and cowbells busy in opposition to Sen ator Robinson's rat-tat with the gavel. The Georgia delegation also stood on its chairs and took up the fag ends of the "Glory, Glory" chant. Noise Lasts 37 Minutes. The demonstration had been on for 35 minutes when Senator Robinson leaned over the edge of the platform and told the demonstrating Pennsyl vania delegates to put up their state standard and sit down. They did so and with that the fireworks seemed to be about over. It was 37 minutes after the demon stration started when order finally was restored and Representative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, took the platform to second the attorney- general s nomination Mr. Rainey got a rise out of the delegates and spectators when he said that the democratic party "always the party of achievement, discovered Culitornia. He said he seconded the nomination by direction of the "great majority of the Illinois delegation. The man to be nominated, said the sneaker. "must be a man whose private life is pure and clean." The private char acter of the attorney-general, he added, could not be assailed from any quarter. As the lunching hour came and passed with the programmo of nom natlng oratory only naif complete, the delegates began to be restless, but the chairmen of several state delega tions sent out for baskets of sand wlches and that helped some. The Palmar nomination also was seconded by Mrs, Florence T. Cotnam of Little Rock, Ai-k., who praised the candidate's record on woman suffrage and said that he had made himself the friend of all mothers and children by fighting against anarchy and prof iteering. Still another seconding speech wae Oakland. Cal, As the roll of states was continued the chairman of the Georgia delega tion announced that his state joined seconding" Palmer's nomination. In order, the other states up to Iowa, 1 passed anit then Claude Porter of Iowa took the platform and presented the name of Secretary Meredith. He was greeted with cheers, but the dele gates were apparently getting their fill of oratory end when the speaker prefaced his speech with a remark that he vOuld occupy only a moment there was a wave of laughter and applause. Delegates Grow Weary. There was a yelp of enthusiasm when Mr. Porter, In recounting the ccomplishmoots of the democratic administration, mentioned the prohi bition amendment. It was the first tims the subj jet which Is threatening a fight among the party leaders had been named on the convention floor Meantime restlessness was increas ing visibly on the convention floor and before Mr. Porter was half through the old convention cry of tired delegates, "Name him, nr.me Mm," was heard for the first time from scattered sections of the hall. During the speech Senator Robin son called Mrs. George Bass to take the chair and there was a roar of cheering as the delegates saw a wom an for the first time in the country's political history holding the gavel over the national convention of a bis party. There was more handclapping for Mrs. Bass, who Is chairman of the women's committee of the national committee, when she came to the front of the stage at the conclusion of the nominating spech and pounded for order. After a round of cheering by the Iowa delegates the roll of the states was continued and Kentucky yielded to Ohio. In a deafening roar of ap plause Judge J. C. Johnson of Colum bus took the platform to nominate Governor Cox. Cox Songs Started. The Cox band, away up by the rafters, struck up a campaign song and a cheer leader in a lower gallery followed up by bringing out a burst of cheering for "Cox. Cox. James M. Cox." Quiet soon was restored, however, and Judge Johnson got under way with his speech. There were many interruptions for applause, and when the candidate's name first was mentioned by the speaker another crash of cheering answered It was 3:25 o'clock when Judge Johnson concluded and the Cox dem onstration began in earnest Many delegates scattered over the hall got on their chairs and yenec. while In the gallery the Cox cheer leaders jumped Into action. The Ohio band and a large section of Cox rooters seated with them in the gallery started the candidate's campaign song again A dapper little cheer leader, dressed all in white, fought his way through the crowd on the platrorm ana mounted to the top of the speaker's table. Where he tried to get the crowd singing with the band. It was play ing a medley of popular airs on which the Cox people had composed paro dies. The band and cheer leaders had the right of way for five minutes and then the parade on the floor started. The Ohio standard led off, followed by those of Florida, Mississippi, Mary land, Arizona, and Kentucky. The demonstrators were well armed with noise-making contraptions of all kinds and presently the cap was put on the riot of sound by the big pipe organ, which someone started up in harmony with the band. The tunes of "Dixie" and "Maryland, My Maryland" predominated in the repertoire of the demonstration. It was Impossible to tell just how many delegates were helping the demons tration along and how many were simply looking on, but virtually the whole membership of the convention was on its feet moving around and keeping the floor in total cbnfusion. When the turmoil had lasted 1 minutes the Arkansas standard joined those in the parade and the demon strators laughed at Senator Robinson when he pounded his table for order. About the same time the Cox band and rooters filed out of their big block of seats in the gallery and started a parade of their own. They crushed their way into the delegates' en closure and marched past the speak ers' stand singing and whooping. As the march went to the tune of "The Bonnie Blue Flag," ' on which the Cox rooters had written a parody they called "Ohio, Ohio," the white panted cheer leader again mounted the speaker's table and beat time with a megaphone. In front of the center of the platform the band took station and let loose with "Dixie." followed by "Maryland, My Maryland" and then "My Old Kentucky Home." There was some cheering mixed in with the onn cert, but for the most part the dele gates Were back in- their seats, ready for convention business to be re sumed. Rand Drown Gavel. The demonstration had lasted a half hour. Senator Robinson tried to get order but the band leaders did nomination. The veteran New York orator got a rousing reception as he mounted the speaker's stand. Eulogizing Governor Smith as one whose life and character offered "In itself a perfect platform." Mr. Cock ran said, "we have a great leadership one of the g latest the world has ever known. The war was under taken to make the world safe for democracy and the result has been to spread democracy throughout the world. Democracy means opportunity and equal opportunity for all. "I nominate here today a man who personified democracy, a man who has risen from a peddler's wagon to the governorship of the great state of New York and he has never lost a single one of his friends he has gained since his youth. He is known to everyone, high or low as Al Smith." Old-Time Oratory Pleases. President Wilson, the speaker said, had been a great leader though he had held apart "in the eminence of greatness." "But Al Smith," he continued. "Is the man who could lead us, not far away but near at hand, shoulder to shoulder with us, rlong the paths of opportunity to hiarh ideals where Woodrow Wilson has pointed the way." There was a lot of old-time demo cratic oratory in the speech and it made a hit with the delegates and tne galleries. New York, Mr. Cockran said, of fered her favorite son reluctantly and if the party did not see tit to choose him for the presidency, his people at home would not care to give him up to accept the vlce-presi- aency. 'In that case," shouted the SDeaker. in conclusion, "we will keep him as candidate for governor to insure that New York remains a democratic state. The New York delegates led In a brief demonstration after the speech. oenaior llocinson tried for order. but the New Yorkers would not sit down until they had sung "The Side walks of New York," in which they got ootn tne band and the pipe organ to join. Shimmy Done by Paradera. , The New York and New Jersey standards were carried around the hall and a good sized parade had got started and the file of marchers i swayed back and forth In lockstep with Just a suggestion of the shimmy. It was a sight that many old-timers said they had never seen before. It was regarded generally as but a per sonal tribute to Governor Smith and Bourke Cockran. The demonstration In which the galleries took virtually no part at all, had been on for 20 minutes when Senator Robinson started out to re store order, but he had little luck. He got a crack of applause when he told the delegates that their nomi nee "will be selected at 2 A. M. In a hotel room." And when he finished the New York delegation led in an other round of cheering. The nomi nation also was seconded by Mrs. Lillian R. Sire of New York. Senator Robinson finally got order arter the tumult had been going on for almost a half hour. Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, seconded the nomination of Governor Smith.

This was made known here today Dy John Cochran, assistant secretary of state, following a conference at which he operators' license law was gone nto thoroughly by Attorney-General Brown. The law is specific in its wording, according to Mr. Cochran, and provides that all persons over 16 years of age who drive motor venicies within the state of Oregon shall first provide themselves with a driver s license. The only ' exceptions are chauffeurs and motorcars licensed in other states. Although It Is not expected that police officers will go so far as to arrest non-residents of the state for violation of the operators licence law. t was stated today that steps wilt ue taken to have the act amended at the next session of the legislature.
