PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MED FORD. OREGON, TUESDAY. JULY 16. 1940. APPEASEMENT OF IF TEXAN NAMED (Continued from rase On. Roosevelt But he evidently was determined upon "business appeasement" candidate (or sec ond place on the ticket and has picked Jones, Texas banker and business leader, as the man. Increasing DrosDects of a Aunt over the vice presidency pro mised to make later sessions or, the convention more lively. The sure-thing nature of the Im pending Roosevelt renomina tion has made the sessions rather listless so far. But the mention of the president's name t today's session brought a burst of applause and a few cheers. The speaker was Mrs. Thomas F. McAllister, director of the women's division of the national committee. She said Democratic women opposed war and trusted Mr. Roosevelt's leadership in foreign affairs. To Offset Willkie ' Farley's plan to nominate Jones for vice president was interpreted as an effort to off set the business appeal of Wen dell L. Willkie, the Republican presidential candidate, who re signed a $7S,000,0u0-a-year job as head of Commonwealth & Southern corporation to make the race. Farley's decision to back Jones might narrow the vice presidential maneuvering down to two Texans principally. Sec retary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins, director of, Roosevelt third-term strategy here, was mnnrted to be considering Rep. Mam Ravburn. the Democratic leader of the house, for the post. But many other candidates still were working hard and were hopeful of coming out on top in the scramble. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Mr. Roosevelt's first choice for vice president, was report ed to have refused to make the race. Farley told friends today that he believed Hull should continue as secretary of state. He said he believed that If the International crisis required a third term for the president, the same argument applied with equal force to the secretary of state. - rarley May Delay If Hopkins, with Mr. Roose velt's backing, attempts to nom inate Rayburn and Farley con tinues to back Jones, the con vention will have an opportun ity to give the party chairman one last vote of confidence be fore he steps out of politics by nominating Jones. It was reported that Farley may have agreed to a plan to retain the national committee chairmanship until September 1, instead of quitting immedi ately after the convention to become president of the New York Yankees baseball club. Even so. it is likely that the new chairman will be elected her on Saturday. He would serve with Farley during the ensuing interval to learn the . committee business. The morning convention ses slon was brief. Mrs. McAllister euloglred the leadership of Mr. Roosevelt and mentioned the name of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt for the first time In the Democratic proceedings. Mention of the first lady drew applause. Rep. Arthur W. Mitchell of Illinois, only Negro member of congress, predicted that eight of 10 Negroes who vote In Novem ber would vote for Mr. Roose velt. BRITISllElG YANKEE FLIERS London. July 18.
