YOUNG DEMOCRAT CLUB ORGANIZED HERE LAST NIGHT nominating speech was made the convention delegates staged a huge rally, the bands would play and dif ferent adherents to the nominee would march with their standards raised aloft, Bhoutlng and clapping. The rallies would laat for practically an hour In several cases. Ex-Governor Pierce was Impressed by the coolness of the Tammany delegates, and described the dramatic moment In which Mayor Jimmy Wal ker announced himself as voting for Alfred E. Smith for the presidential nominee. His name was called two or three times and as complete quiet settled on the convention hall, New York's mayor rose and In a loud deep voice announced the name of his choice. Mr. Pierce stated that he admired the nerve of the mayor who voted against Gov. Roosevelt In spite of the fact that the papers which may put him out of office are lying at tho present time on the desk of the executive. Mr. Pierce believes that Alfred E. Smith came to the convention with the expectation of being the nom inee, and although the former's vote was for Roosevelt and he believes that Roosevelt is the best man for the position, he described Smith as a big man and a strong one. . Mr. Fitzgerald Sneaks Martin Fltzgerala, delegate, stated in a brief speech that he believes the Democrats put up a good man and , a good platform, and predicts that Roosevelt 1b the "savior'1 now needed ; by the United States. Mr. Fitzgerald was one of the youngest and most active delegates In attendance. , Mr. Hess decried the absence of youth In present day politics and stated that he was heartened over the large number of young people who at tended the meeting, the purpose of which was to arouse interest in po litical issues. Predicting that the Democratic can didate will win the next election by a landslide, Mr. Hess cited the ex amples of both the ..house and the senate where the Republican major ity has been greatly reduced. He also pointed to the deficit left in the treasury by Andrew Mellon, ex-secretary, . though relieving the rich man througn three administrations, and the reduction of the Income tax In which thousands of dollars were refunded to 613 millionaires. The powers of Wall street fear Roosevelt, he believes, stating that In New York state the Income and inheritance taxes in the high brackets has been increased, shifting the bur den from property. Roosevelt be lieves in unemployment insurance, an old-age pension, he said. The sentiment In the cast Is over whelmingly for Roosevelt, he stated, since it Is believed that Roosevelt represents all the people and not spe cial people. The constitution outlined by the committee was read by George Wal ker and adopted, and it was an nounced that the club will meet be tween Sept. 1 and 15, the date to be set later, and make arrangements for East, Mid-west Swelters Today In Record Heat By the Associated Press The east and mid-west sweltered today In a heat wave which promised to break seasonal records for many places.
