Political Rivalries Dropped in
Roar of Old Favorites.

Cheers, Singing, Football Yells and

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

Glolitti's Return to Helm of Gov

Nation's Prestige.

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

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

dicted with finality that the league
of nations plank would be adopted,

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.

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.

"Arkansas." ' 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

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

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

navy, seconded the nomination of

Judge Rossman Favors Burning of
Petrol to Keep L'p Payrolls Rather
Than Joy Riders' Autos.
"I consider it better that gasoline
be burned in keeping up the payrolls
of a concern like the Northwest
Bridge & Iron company than that It
should be consumed in Joy-riding
automobiles." declared Municipal
Judge Rossman yesterday when the
case of William H. Cullers, general
manager cf the Northwest Bridge &
Iron company, came up for hearing
on charges of storing gasoline with
out a permit.
The Judge put the case over until
July 15 to give Mr. Cullers a chance to
secure a permit from the city counci
Mr. Cullers was arrested on
charge of storing gasoline without a
permit when it was discovered that
his concern had 7000 gallons of gaso
line stored 'n & tank on the property
of the Columbia River Shipbuilding
company. Tne gasoline is said to be
stored 30 Inchon beneath the surface,
whereas the n'inance provides that
It shall be four feet beneath. The
ordinance further provides that not
more than 5 ) gallons can be stored
without a permit.
Chief Grenfell. fire marshal, told
Judge Rossman that the gasoline as
stored by the Northwest Bridge &
Iron company was not dangerous pro
vided ritsonable precautions were
used.
Since the arrest of Mr. Cullers the
matter has been put before the citv
council for the purpose of securing a
permit for the companv to store the
gasoline. The question is now being
held in abeyance by that body unti
the return of Mayor Baker, it was an
nounced yesterday.
Attorneys fr Mr. Cullers yesterdav
explained thlt the concern needed the
gasoline in construction work and fo
operating its rrachinery and trucks,
They slid that it was stored by the
concern to jrunrd against a shortage
which would mean that the work o
the plant might have to be suspended

SALEM, Or., June 30. (Special.)
Under the provisions of the so-called
motor vehicle operators' license law
oassed at the special session of the
legislature last January, there is nothi
ng to Prevent over-zealous ponce of
ficers of Oregon from arresting all
non-resident automobile tourists pass-
nsr through the state . unless they
comply with tho act and obtain the
reaulred driver's permit.
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. The
amendment probably will so change
the present law that only residents
of Oregon will be required to take out
these licenses.
