Leaving the keynote speech, tho
usual magnet of the opening day,

The only convention hall thrill
was not a part of the session
Itself. It was a short demonstra
tion for Al Smith, put on Im
promptu by democrats from Her
bert Hoover's home state of Cali

delegation raised a big picture of
their man high above their place
in tho convention floor and a cheer
went, up to the rafters from tho
Icglntt of linen suited Smith men
on tho sweltering convention floor
and their summery clad women
companions In Smith delegations.
Shouts of "No" came from all
over tho great hall as tho chair
man announced with the parlia
mentary rapidity of a machine gun
that Ihe organization-sponsored mo
tion for a recess had carried. Now
that they wore at It nfter many
days of travel southward and ho
tel room waiting, the delegates
seemed to like it and wnnt to go

the influence of Oregon democracy
might be cast on the side of repeal
of the prohibition amendment or
for a referendum plank.
While reiterating his opposition
to the prohibition law and express
ing his personal belief that the en

turned to the hands of the indi

he would support a general "law
