CONVBNTION HALL. KANSAS
CITY, Juno H.-(P) CoininK to

everybody conceded to be an ttood
um over before It bewail, the repub
lican national convention wuh urged
along by Uh otflceiH today toward
completion of a platform and nomi
nation of a preHldenttal candidate
by nightfall.
Senator Sinont of Utah, head of
the platform committee, was one
of the earliest arrivalH. Looking
even taller and leaner than usual,
wllh his race seamed deeply nnd
hl fron-Kruy hair a bit awry, he
mounted the Hpeaker'a platform, got
hlmHelf Het before the big silver
"mike" and made an adjustment In
the location of the small speakers'
table.
Three minutes before the open
ing hour Seualor Moses, permanent
chairman, began to whack the table
with his big wooden mallet, shout
ing for the delegates to take their
seats. To a casual observer It ap
peared doubtful whether a quorum
was, present, but the chairman was
determined to ';o ahond. The gal
leries were nt least nine-tenths
empty.
Neither delegates nor spectators,
such of them as wero present, paid
any attention to Moses petition for
order, hut he persisted.
He presented Rabbi. Herman M.
Cohen of Kansas City, who pro
nounced the opening invocation a
everybody stood. He prayed that
nil of the acts of the convention
should be In accord with the pur
poses of the Divine Father.
Flag Day Remembered
Henutor Moses, in a few crisp
sentences, reminded the convention
of the advent of Flag day and. tak
ing the silken folds of Old C.lnry
In HI h hands, continued:
"Wo claim no monopoly on the
flag, hut we do recall that (he firHt
task of our party was to mnkn this
flag Ihe symbol of n united coun
try." Th r nn nd played "The Star

I This got results and the chair-!
i man recognized Senator Smoot to ,
' present the platform. The rules of
Iho house of representatives were I
in effect, limiting speeches to live I
; minutes ouch, but Senator Moses
i said ho would entertain niotioiiH to
suld he would nlrtaiu motlonH to .
I suspend th rules to premit speak-;
! era to have "ten minutes and no ;

Smoot got a good hand as he
I stepped up before the microphones:
ami begun to read the platform, hut
his voice did not carry to every '
section of the hull and there were
shotitH of "louder." The platform
: itself got ils first applause, a brief
interim of haudclnpping, when the
chairman read the sentence endors
lug unequivocally the admini.si ra
tion of President Coolldge.
' Scarcely bud Smoot read two
I pages before Chairman Moses '
I wulked to the runway and rapped
j loudly with his .;avel to indicate lo

Gallery Is Restive !
j The I'tub senator resumed the;
i reading but was Interrupted hv fit" ,
! cuos cries of "louder" from the
1 reur galleries. That halted him for
jn moment and he changed his posl- j
; Hon so that he came within range j
j of the battery of "mikes' at the j
I front of the runway. f
Delegates continued to mill
! around, wandering up und down the j
i aisles und along the passu jownys ,
in the rear, The hour of meeting 1
seemed to bo a Utile early for a;
j mujorlty of the ticket holders nnd;
I half an hour after the convention'
convened there were gaps of empty
seutH In Die galleries. Smoot had;
: the copy of the platform on a music !
rack nnd he rested his bunds on
euch side of it as be was fairly
well worn out by Ihe long fight
ovor the platform which lie pro
settled. I
Cool i do. e Is Cheered
Every mention of President Coot-
Idge's iiume brought applause. The ;
reading was interrupted a third i
time with cries of "louder," and )
Senator Moses rushed lo the front
of ti n runway to pound viciously. I
"The delegates will lake their
seals," he yelled.. ."Tim ilelugulo j

seats or retire from Ihe hall."
The plat form declaration that
"the record of the Fnited Stales
treasury under Secretary Mellon
stands unrivaled and unsurpassed"
brought u round of applause. The
treasury secretary himself sat with
the Pennsylvania delegation only
a short distance from the platform.
iAgain there was handclapping
when Smoot told of the more than
six billions of dollars or reduction
in the public debt dnriii? the seven
years of Republican administration.
Senalor Smoot read slowly in an
effort to Conserve his video for the
tank of wading through the ftOOO
word document which covered 57
typewritten pages.
After Smoot hud gotten through
the lax plunk, the crowd again set
up Its ciy of "louder." Chairman
Moses again pounded for order.
"The delegate from I'tub will sus
pend," he said. "The chair hesi
tates to use harsh measure but it
Is prepared to turn loose the la Me
army of deputy sergeants at arms
to preserve order It" the delegates
themselves are unable to do so."
That brought order with a little
laughter and applause and Smoot
went uheu't with the tariff plunk.
He raised bis voice n pitch or two.
The declaration for increased
tariff rates for the protection of
the American farmer got a scatter
ing of uupluuse.
The declaration that the party
would continue steadfastly ' to op
pose the cancellation of foreign
debts met with the expressed ap
proval jif Ihe convention.
Lute comers to the font III session
cuu.Hed a lot" of confusion as they
sought their places In the .'lalleriea.
A hum of conversation also ran
over the convention hull but the
loud speaker was able to carry
Smoot'H voice above it.
Was He From Medford?
Tho constantly rising hum of the
rtoor and gullery conversation with
which Senator Smooth had to com
pete was checked temporarily at
least after a delegate: in the Oregon
delegation, not fifty fet from the
speaker, told tho chairman that.
Smoot could not bo heard even at
that distance and asked .whether
something could not bo done about
it.
Moses hammered with effect,
shouting: "Del(;ute will tnke
their seats. All delegates will tnke
their seats, and photographers will
also take their seats;"
Many ol' the delegated j.ud not
previously heard the nnt;tiac
of the agricultural relief plank nnd

Senator Smooth had no trouble 1

reached that part. Those from Un-j
Industrial sections as well as the i
delegates from the Mc.Vary-lfaugen
tunimry lfstc-ned very lowely.
There was just u sputter of ap
pluuse from 1 ho widely scattered
sections of the hall when Senator
Smoot read tho promise for aid to

two louder bursts'of appluuse V
ho went on down ' through, Ihe
phrases dealing with the tariff and

up with the declaration for "eco

Hoover Gets Ovation
There was a real, nure enough
cheer, approaching the dimensions
of a demonstration when Senator ,
Smoot reached ihe plank com - '
mending the work of the depart
ment of commorc, under "Secre
tary Herbert Hoover."
The delegates came to their feet
ut this first mention in the con-,
volition of the name of the man lor
whom a majority had decided to '
vote for for president. As the t heev.
fug contiiiuid, someone in the Cali
fornia delegation unfurled u Calf

star, ami waved It aloft while a
man In the Texas delegation took
up his slate standard and started
toward Ihe plutform in an attempt
to organize a parade. Hut he de
sisted and returned to his place u:t ;
Moses hammered for order.
The standards of New Hamp

aloft by ILonver delegates in thou'
delegations and waved back and
forth over tho heads of the cheer-,
log crowd. i

one hour 15 minutes and then
moved the adoption of the report,
but Chairman .Moses recognized
Senator INtberi M. !,u Toilette, who
presented a minority plunk. The
Wisconsin delegation Hood up and
i heerr-d. and the youthful senator
was uiven upplaus by the other
delegate m and galleries.
Four years auo at the Cleveland
convention the minority report on
the platform was presented by
IJepresentutive Cooper of Wiscon
sin, one of the oldest members of
the congress.
L'lFoIleite, in a brief introdue
lory speech, sit id Wisconsin always
had sent u progressive delegation
to . tlie national convention, and
a I ways presented a minority plat
form. LaFolletie declared that,
while the flint of the platforms
Wisconsin offered, hud been "hissed
and jeered" in the convention, 32
of ihe .!." proposals whit-h had
l-cen made had been written into
law.
I-nl-'olletto Clveii Cheer
'I bis brought a whooping cheer
from some seetions of tho con
vention, with a yell from the
Kouth gallery; "Attn boy, Hob."
The voting senator read his
minority platform with vigorous
(restores and in a clear, strong
voire. ji Foliette got n real cheer
from the naileries and some of
the delegates when he read his
proposed farm relief plank, which
deduced for the equalization fee.
When the. senator deelared that
the president had prevented the
.McNary-HaiiKcn bill from becom
ing it law by a veto, many of the
delegate:! cheered, the Massachu
setts delegation in the front row
right, opposite the platform, lead
ing in the cheering.
I-aFolIette bowed and smiled at
the heel ing delegate and then
took a drink of water. When the
applause ceased, lie said : "Ladies
and trentlemen It is so unusual
for a delegate from Wisconsin to
be cheered in a republican na
lionai convention that I thank
you."

"1-adies and gentlemen of the

kind and courteous attention,"
LaKollette said, and he vi;s np-
pla tided and cheeVed for nearly
a minute.
i The La Toilette substitute then
was promptly rejected by the con
vention. Moses Scores Objectors
: This brought the convention
Idown to the fight over tho farm
plank. Senator Moses recognizing
Delegate f. H. Smith of Illinois,
who presented the minority pro
, pos;il. There wns a howl of pro
test when Moses said Smith would
, be u'iven half an horn-.
Itaugini; down his gavel, the
: elyiii man said: "The republican
j party is a party of liberty, nnd it
1 should always be glad to give n
i hearing on nny subject. The chair
! hopes .there will be no objection."
This brought a cheer.
"Tho delegate from Illinois is
recognized for JtO minutes," Moses
; continued. "Is there objection?"
I There was, but Hie chairman
'banged down his gavel and gave
! Smith 30 minutes anyhow for the
presentation of the minority plank
and his argument In favor of it.
Smith was one of those who eon-
I ducted the long fight yesterday
! and last night, before' the resolu
tions committee against the nd
I ministration plank as it was fi
I nally drawn for presentation to
i the convention.
' Soon after Smith began readincr
there were cries 'of "louder" from
jhoth the delegates and guests.
"If those who are yelling 'loud
er would keep silence, perhaps
the delegate from Illinois could
be heard better," Moses said.
! A little later, there was so much
confusion in the hall by reason of
delegates moving about that the
chairman stopped Smith und
banged loudly for order.
"There is too much moving
around in the aisles and In the
rear of, the hall," he said. "If
guests are restless they are privi
leged lo ret ire."
After reading the proposed farm
, idank. Smith told tho convent Ion
that, in the resolutions committee

it commanded the support of 15 j
states and carried the siuuaiurc
of a large number of delegates.
'The paramount iiuestion before
the A merican people and before
this convention is that of furnish
ing relief for agriculture,"
Smith. 'J came to this conven
tion with the conviction that the
success of the republican party in
XoVember depended upon the way
we met this situation and wroto
the platform."
lovclfn Seaker Ignored
The Illinois deUgiite, an ardent
supporter of Frank o. Lowden.
and head of Ihe Illinois farmer
organization, declared that the
farjiiers demanded "economic
equality."
"If there is a demand for equal-'
Ity there must be equality." he ;
declared, and then undertook t' '
show that while the price of farm f
products lias receded the profits
of manufacturing industries have
increased.
Heading from the 1 !i 2 -t nKrieul
tural plank adopted by the re
publican convention at Cleveland.
Smith said that pledge then made
to the farmers of America for aid
through legislation remained un
redeemed. As Smith proceeded, again there
was some confusion in the hall.
Secretary Mellon, sitting on the
front row of the convention with
the Pennsylvania delegation, gave
iiu heed to t he Smith resolution,
nulling n sheaf of papers out of
his pocket and sitting reading his
correspondence.
Smith wound up by saying that!
if the party exported the support:
of the republican- farmers of the 1
great western and middle western (
states "you are troing to squarely
and fairly meet this issue." i
