Republican Nominating Speeches
Convention Hall, Chicago
U.R) There can't have been any
thing like it since Vesuvius blew
up. They nominated candidates
for the presidential nomination
Thursday night and early Friday.
It is a tradition of American
politics for partisans at nominat
ing conventions to stage organ
ized riots for their men.
Nobody that lived through this
session, and thousands did, will
ever forget it. In. the small hours
tempers got short and at 1:26
a.m. a pushing, shoving brawl
broke up in front of the speak
er's rostrum over a California
standard. .
Near Battle
Fists came close to flying
when angry California delegates
tried to recover a state standard
from supporters of Gen. Douglas
MacArthur, one of five men put
in nomination for president.
It took six or seven ushers and
several policemen to restore or
der. One husky MacArthur sup
porter was wrestled violently to
the floor by a policeman and
removed from the hall.
Delegates roared and chanted
' and shouted and made with
sirens, cap pistols, rattles and
cowbells until every seismograph
in the country should have gone
off the dial.
Planned Pandemonium
It was a sort of planned pande
monium with overtones of jun
gle frenzy and camp meeting
' ecstasy.
It was planned, the way a cir
cus is planned, because four-foot
balloons, 30-foot standards, and
placards and banners in the spe
cial colors that show up well
in black-and-white TV don't just
materialize. Neither do such
properties as elephant masks,
lion heads, and dizzy hats de
signed to make pretty girls look
silly.
So in a way the night's demon
strations were about as spon
taneous as Brooklyn Bridge
at the start at least.
How else explain the red-
faced, overweight, middle-aged
couple that suddenly took to
dancing among the tubas of a
brass band during the demon
stration for Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower?
Taft Demonstration Firs!
The first big demonstration
was for Sen. Robert . A. Taft,
nominated by Sen. Everett M.
Dirksen, 111. Non-delegate Taft
backers who had been lurking
for hours at the gates suddenly
stampeded into the arena and
the riot was on.
They went mildly wild when
Dirksen was introduced but re
served most of their firepower
until he concluded.
Warren Effort Noisy
- The Warren people couldn't
equal te Taft show because they
were outnumbered by hundreds.
But individually they seemed
noisier. They had more cowbells.
Stars of the Warren spectacle
were the governor's lovely
daughters, Nina, Dorothy, and
Virginia
The loudest and longest and
craziest bedlam of the evening
was produced by victory-scenting
demonstrators for Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower. It lasted
11 minutes longer than Taft's.
Ike Ruckus
James M. Reynolds,' swivel
hipped young man from Pasa
dena, Calif., son of the pen man
ufacturer, led the Eisenhower
ruckus from the rostrum. Mar
tin looked at him and remarked,
"He's the noisiest Republican I
ever heard."
The audience was tiring by
the time Harold E. Stassen was
put in nomination by Mrs. C. E.
Howard of Minnesota, but not
too tired to loose ffew wolf
calls and whistles at the lovely
brunette speaker.
The MacArthur demonstra
tion wound up the evening. It
started when Fred L. Coogan of
Oklahoma finished his speech
putting in nomination a name he
said "will not die and will not
fade away." It lasted 32 minutes.
Record Wheat Crop
Predicted for Oregon
Portland (U.PJ A record Ore
gon wheat crop of 30,080,000
bushels for 1952 was forecast
Friday by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. This was about
236,000 bushels above the June
1 forecast. ' '
The estimate for the state of
Washington was 73,844,000 bu
shels ,a decrease of nearly 7,-
000,000 bushels since the June 1
prediction.
Louis XIV's food -and napkin
were passed to him, on state oc
casions, by six dukes, a prince
and three lesser nobles.
The leopard lizard often grows
to a length of 12 or more inches.
CONVENTION MUSIC Music for the Republican convention
in Chicago has been largely furnished by a Connsonata electronic
organ, the huge loudspeaker unit of which is shown being hoisted
to a place under the 80-foot ceiling of the vast International amphi
theatre. The Connsonata, a line handled by Pruitt's Music Center
in Medford is an all-electronic organ manufactured by C. G. Conn
Ltd., of Elkhart, Iid.
