JOHN GARNER SELECTED BY ACCLAMATION (Continued From Page One) marked time to await Gov. Roose velt himself, dashing here by plane to give the delegates face to face, his pledge of earnest leadership. Garner vetorn of 30 years of poli tical warfare In congress, but still "Cactus Jack " of Texas to his many friends had beon chosen for vice president by the leaders hours before tho convention Itself ratified the selection with a great shout. Texas and California hod voted for him for the presidency, and It was their turn to Roosevelt last night which broke the back of the opposi tion, heaping up at the feet of the New Yorker nine tenths of the strength of the convention. The only real threat of opposition to Garner came from he defeated partisans of Alfred E. Smith, but it never materialized. 8inlth Leaves Before Vote Smith, refusing to say whether he would support the ticket, left Chi cago before tho vice presidential vot ing began. A group of his supporters from New York, New Jersey, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecti cut pondered whether to put up Jer sey's congresswoman, Mary Norton, for second place, but decided against It, and seconded Garner. Iowo presented Gen. Matt Tlnley. but no general support for him de veloped. The action of the conven tion was all but unanimous. Oregon through former Governor Walter M. Pierce announced, the with drawal of Its candidate, Milton A. Miller, of Portland, and Its support of Garner. i , A long session of speech-making oreceded the vote. Convention offi cials did not hasten the proceedings.! for word had been received that Govt I Roosevelt's plane was far behind time, I delaying until late afternoon his ap-I pcarance to thank the delegates and accept the presidential nomination.

July 2 m Oregon Democracy, represented by a delega tion of ten at the Democratic national convention, voiced approval today of selection of John N. Garner as the Democratic nominee for vice presi dent. Walter Pierce, national committee man from Oregon, from the speaker's platform announced the withdrawal of Milton A. Miller, a favorite son candidate for vice president. In a sec onding speech for Garner. "With Roosevelt and Garner as the standard bearers we con sweep this nation from ocean to shining ocean," Pierce declared and the crowded con vention hall voiced approbation in cheers and shouts. The "broken promises, unfilled." of the Republican party, Pierce said, demands that the nation follow the Democratic banner this year.

Roosevelt with Bplriu buoyant, howling and squealing and throwing kisses and mingling die hard Jeers with the cheers. Nellie Tayloe Ross, their top ser geant, proclolmed their port in reuohlng harmony "the greatest work for humanity which women have per formed recently. ' "The next thing to do," she added, "Is to abolish the two-thirds rule so that one-third of the party cannot enforce Its will over the majority. Among the most enthusiastic cheer era was Mrs. Elizabeth Bass, of Illi nois. Bbe said: "This has proved again what we rtomnnHtrntnd in 1Q1S that W0 can nominate without tho east if need) oo: wo can eiecu a uemocrauu picoi dent without it." "The Dawn Has Come" Mrs. Isabella Ctreenway, of Arizona, perhaps the closest friend of tho Roosevelt family In the stadium, sighed and said, "The dawn has come. Mr. McAdoo touched the heart of the situation when he sold we didn't come here to deadlock the convention." But Mrs. Borden (Daisy) Harrl man. outstanding committeewoman of Washington, D. 0., didn't approve of the wind-up and said so. "I'd like to have seen them: fight it out." she asserted. "I never liked a deal." While William O. McAdoo was still talking she "turned to Miss Mary W. Dewson. Roosevelt women's leader who was standing Just behind. Some body heard Daisy say "I'll bet you," while Miss Dewson shook her head as if accepting the wager. Somebody asked Mrs. Josephus Dan iels how about all the booing from the gallery, she dismissed lfc: "It's Republican." ; . ' Mrs. Molvln Traylor, who yesterday declared allegiance to Newton Baker, emphasized' her second word In "I hope he (Roosevelt) can win."' Mrs. Norton Bitter Repersentatlve Marty T. Norton, who offered the vote of her state for the vice presidential nomination was perhaps the bitterest of the New Jer sey Smithltes. She semed to be bit ing her lips as she said she'd better not talk, then burst out: "I said all I wanted to say last night and I'll say It the rest of my life." , She referred to her speech for "Al" In which she spoke out on religious intolerance. i But the vast majority seemed to like the finale.
