"Saidie Thompson"! came to
town last night and won her way
into the hearts of one of the most
eathusiastic audiences ever to at

tend an opening at the Elsinore
theater and how!
This new Gloria Swanson pic
ture, with the gorgeous Gloria in
the strongest emotional role of her
career, with Raoul Walsh as di
rector, and with a story that build,
up and up from one startling cli
max to another, is real entertain
ment. Such "entertainment, in fact

realizing the during the entire pic
ture she does not wear a aingk

"Saidie" is not that kind of girl,
that's all. She would like to be a
fashion plate, but doesn't know
how. But she is one of the mos;
fascinating, appealing and synipu
thetic characters ever to flash on
the silverheet.

, Much of the.spirit of contest and
expectancy was taken away from
the opening session of the conven
Hon by the final slide to Hoover
There was the usual music, the
opening prayer, the Star Spangled
I Banner sung by Madame " Schu
j mann-IIeink, the flaring of count
less flashlight photographs: the
roving messengers, the handshak
lng, backslapping, the laughter and
everything that should be expected
of a crowd of 15.000 persons at i
national political convention.
Hut the dominating note of I
i was dignity and restraint. It
rook only two firm raps of the
avel by Senator Simeon D. Fes
f Ohio, the keynoter, to silence a
respectful demonstration of about
15 seconds duration for President

been described by Fee a as the
"greatest personal anf political'
force in the world today."
Cal'M Attitude Vertfed
The Ohio senator, a close per
sonal friend of Mr. Coolidge, add-
e 1 that the president's friends be
lie-ved his decision not to run for
renomination was final, something
the delegates themselves had real
taed before the convention opened.
With the Hooter organization in
full control of the convention there
was not a hitch in the smooth
functioning of the two-hour ses
sion. After the usual preliminaries
William M. Butler, the chairman
of the national committee, rapped
for order at 11:03 a. m. Then with
the preliminaries out of the way.

wan escorted to the speakers' ros
trum by former Governor Hyde o.
Missouri. Lieutenant Governor
Fitts of California, and Mrs. Leona
Curtis Knight, daughter of Sena
tor Curtis, and a delegation from
Rhode Island.
Mr.lVM IraiOH G. (. I
Senator Fess delivered an ad
dress billed with old fashioned re
publicanism. He spoke for more
than an hour with all of the ear
nestness at his command and as he
gesticulated in the manner he had
brought to the senate from the
school room, the perspiration fell
from his face almost in a stream.
But on the whole the speaking
manner of Senator Fess U mild.
There were no rip-roaring passag
es, the points being made with
quiet emphasis.
As he continued over the past
deeds and aspirations of the re
publican party, there were periods
of applause at telling points, but
none lasted for more than a few
seconds. Never was there an at
tempt to start a demonstration or
a march about the hall with state
standards. Perhaps this will come
later. The only candidate mention
ed by Fess was "the secretary of
commerce" and the passing refer
ence drew hearty but only brief
applause.
Wilson Also Applauded

ipplauded. Finally the- name of
Wood row Wilson, the democratic
xar president, was thrown-in in
passing and it, too, was applaud
ed.
When Senator Fess came to the
agricultural question, there was
nandclapping from a part of the
auditorium at a declaration against
my "price fixing" method of aid
ing the farmer.
A silent listener was Andrew W.
Mellon, who only half an hour be
.ore the opening gavel fell had
Hedged hL keystoners to Hoover,
jiving the commerce secretary the
alance of power. He was applaud
d mildly as he entered the hall

heir satisfaction that everything
-vas going along to suit them. They
i p pea red not to want to delay the
onvntion by too much applause,
i'hey want to get their man noin
nated as early as possible.
After Senator Fess had conclud
ed, the necessary committees were
appointed to draft platform which
nust harmonize the bitter differ
ncea over the declarations on
arm relief and the dispute as to
i proniDition piank; to decide con
ests of seats, mainly from the
outh, and to provide machinery

The convention hopes tomor

platform and other committees and

lirtt of which will be delivered by
John McNab of California, pre
enting Secretary Hoover. There
s small prospect however, that
balloting will begin before Thurs

KANSAS CITY. June 12. (AP)
A simple one hundred and seven
word statement by Secretary Mel
lon today turned the convention!
tide toward Herbert Hoover.
This quiet-mannered financial
genius at the head of the treasury
of the United States came to Kan
sas City with the power as leader
of the Pennsylvania delegation to
make or break his cabinet col
league.
He chose to make him by sug-
gestingvto his Pennsylvanlans that
they throw their seventy-nine
votes to the commerce secretary
right on the first ballot with the
view to putting him over with a
hang.
AppUtnse Grerta Word
With a roar of applause they
agreed to stand to a man behind
their chief. Before the applause
died away, newspapermen had
stampeded to the doors to flash to
the four corners of the earth this
decisive action.
Mellon told the delegates that
nince it has become clear that
President Coolidge could not be
'induced" to run it seems wise to
look for that nominee who can
best carry forward the Coolidge
policies which have received the
'wholehearted approval of the
American people."
"Mr. Hoover, among all the
candidates," he continued
seems
to measure up to the high stand
ards we have set. My suggestion
to my colleagues in the delegation
is
that we vote for him on the!himselJ aa a member of the Meth-
rirst ballot."
Statements I Repeated
"Hurrah, hurrah," the delegates
shouted amid the clapping of
hands and stamping of feet.
One delegate asked that the
statement be re-read by a strong
er lunged speaker so that no one
in the room could mistake his
meaning. It was then read again
and the crowd applauded some
more.
The suggestion was put in the
form of a motion and the name of
each' delegate was called. They
all answered "aye."
Beaming with satisfaction and
with a twinkle in his eye. Secre
tary Mellon rose, looked around
the room, and said: "I believe the
ayes have it."
More applause and the delegates
filed out, bringing to a close an
other chapter of political history.

declaring for cooperative market

difficulties. Temple characterized
the speech as "a wonderful ad

John Marshal, who described

that the Christians of the middle

Senator Borah of Idaho, author

gave the committee a good laugh
when he interrupted the wets to

That the prohibition row is to

committee was made increasingly
evident today with the offering of
wet planks from the convention
floor. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia university.
sent ap one, and William S. Vare,
senator-elect from Pennsylvania,
introduced a second one.
As the committee sat down to
work, it was made known defin

Chairman Reed Smoot of Utah, in
collaboration with a

ed for "rigid enforcement of the'
18th amendment'
This is in line with the demand
made by Senator Borah of Idaho,
a member of the resolutions com
mittee, but It was met with the
determined and united opposition
of the wets in the convention, who
not only do not want this amend
ment identified by name, bnt favor

the Volstead act. If not repeal of
the prohibition amendment.
A declaration for such repeat is
proposed in the plank offered by
Dr. Butler. This declares for state
rights with each state permitted to
deal with the liquor question as it
-ees fit and to that end calls for
'the earliest possible repeal of the
ISth amendment to the federal
constitution."
Then this line was appended:
While this amendment remains
upon the statute boks it should be
obeyed."
While the contending elements
are not nearly as far apart in their
views as are the wets and drys. the
farm plank will give the resolu
tions committee considerable more
trouble than will the prohibition
enforcement declaration as the de
mands for a clear pronouncement
on this eubejet are insistent and
come from a large group in the
convention.
The plank, as written into the
tentative draft of the platform is
far from acceptable to the farm or
ganizations which demand a re
statement for the principle of the
equalization fee although without
naming it. Administration forces
have been resisting this effort as
they regard such a declaration as
tantamount to a slap at the ad
ministration since President Coo
lidge twice vetoed the McNary-
Haugen bill because it contained
the fee provision.
Aside from the tariff declara
tion in the farm plank, demands
were made for a statement for a
general upward revision of the
tariff. These came specially from
the Pennsylvania delegation which
approved a resolution offered by
Joseph R. Grnndy, a large manu
facturer and long a leader in re
publican politics.
Another proposal emanating
from the Pennsylvania delegation
was one by William S. Vare which
would declare for equal represen
tation of all stales in the United
States senate at all times.

Senator Borah of Idaho also en
dorsed Mr. Dawes, saying the vice
(president had made an excellent
presiiding officer of the senate;
that he had been an advisory lead
er in farm relief matters, and
"has a very high standing through
out the country with all classes of
people."
But there were many names in
the discussion as the conferences
turned suddenly from president to
ice president, and uppermost in
the minds of many was the ques
tion of who Mr. Hoover favored.
He is not expected to show his
hand until the nomination is
marked up on the books.
Other names frequently heard
included Senators Edge, of New
Jersey; Moses, of New Hampshire;
Curtis, of Kansas; Watson, of In
diana, and Deneen of Illinois;
Governor Fuller, of Massachus

governor of Nebraska; Henry W.

where centered the fight against
the commerce secretary in the
pre-convention battle. A man
friendly to agriculture and able to
