Keynote Speech Made by Bowers at Night Session Crowd Roars as Oil Scandals, "Fake Prosperity" Denounced Rain Fails to Dampen Ardor. Sam Houston Hall, Houston, Tex., June 26. A stirring challenge by the national TTemocracy to the repub lican presidential ticket and plat form not jet two weeks old went roaring out over the radio and tele graph tonight as notice to the world that the party of Jefferson and Old Hickory would enter the November lists-v.'ith blood in its eye. Claude G. Bowers, New York, temporary chairman' and keynote npeaker, touched o.T a vertible pow der keg of democratic enthusiasm. He tore mercilessly at the records of two republican administrations, of Harding and Coolidge, to sweep his auditors in the crowded pavilion into outbursts of applause as he went down the line on the oil scandals farm legislation, "fake prosperity," "unemployment," and all the other allegations of rf publican misrule up on which the democrats propose to base the fight for election of their presidential ticket. The New York editor spoke to a crowd many of which had been drenched by a heavy thumlershower which penetrated the roof of the newly built auditorium, but the dele gates were willing to forget their own discomforts, and the fight over tho presidential nomination, which seemed assured to Governor Smith, New York, in order to hear him sound the party battle cry. Platform Report Today. The convention adjourned at 9:24 p. m. until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, when reports of committees including the platform committee with its troublesome . prohibition problem, will be in ordr. Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas will be installed ns permanent chairman. It has r.ot been definitely deter mined when the nominating speeches will be made, but it is virtually cer tain that a presidential choice will be designated Thursday or Friday. Addressing millions of silent radio listeners as well as 16 thousand noisy persons in the convention hall, the party keynote pilloried the last two republican administrations. They had brought "mythical prosperity, mythical economy, mythical figures and mythical men." he said. Spok? in Clear Voice. Bowers had his address, to which he referred occasionally, written nut. Ho spoke in a clear voice, sizing his points by inflection rather than gesture. Almost every mention of the late President Wilson threatened to bring on a prolonged demonstration. Just as he 'farted his speech Mrs. Alfred 12. Smith took her place in a box. The keynoter's comparison be tween the achievements of the Wil son administration and that of Harding and Coolidge was enthusias tically acclaimed. With the words, "the immortal fame of Wood row Wilson," Bower brought the whole convention to its feet with cheers. Mrs. Wilson rose from her chair for a moment. For this session the vast hall was crowded to its capacity of more than 1C thousand, and Bowers kept en thusiasm at a hig;h pitch as he lam basted the Coolidge administration for the treatment of the farmers and for many other reasons. Parade Around Hall. As Bowers concluded on the farm relief, the delegates began cheering, and then W. H. rorter of Calvin, N. D., started a march of the delegates around the convention hall amid a burst of cheering. Kentucky fell in line behind North Dakota, and then in rapid sucession, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, and other western states followed. Finally all the standards, even those of the insular possessions, were car ried aloft a3 the cheering of the delegates rose and fell in wave after wave. The bands helped it all along with lively music, one striking up, "Iowa. That's Where the Tall Corn Grows." The Ixne Star flag of Texas, waved aloft by a stalwart of that state, got a cheer fraom almost each one of the delegations as it moved along the aisles. Receives Ovation. Bowers stood watching it all quietly and there was no effort by convention officials to check the de monstration until after it had gone on for nearly 10 minutes. Then Chairman Shaver began to bang his gavel for order. Finally the dele gates got back to their places, and permitted Bowers to continue. Bowers received a great ovation when he had the whole convention arising, while the bands played "Dixie" and state standards were waved. Taking up his task as temporary chairman. Bowers hammered for or der and then put through a resolu tion by Justice Wardell of California providing for the reference of com munications and. resolution to the appropriate committee. In rapid or der the convention confirmed the nominations of various delegations to the standing committees after it had adopted the l tiles of the house of rep resentatives as the rules of the con vention. This routine did not interest the delegates and a droning buzz arose as they chatted among themselves. The convention then adjourned un til 11 a. in., tomorrow. World-Herald.

Senator Robinson Permanent Chair man of Convent'n Arkansas Senator and Probable Vice - Presidential Candidate Named at Momirg Session. The greatest demonstration of the democratic nationr.l convention oc curred at 12:30 during the address of Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, when the senator uttered his belief in the rights of religious freedom that the constitution has guaranteed. No j-ooner was the words uttered than a great roar arose on the floor and a parade of the states was started that lasted for many moments and embraced practically all of the states, only Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia remained motionless while the shouting parade swept through the aisles of the great hall. It was a significant gesture of the feeling of the convention of the right of the individual citizen to their religious belief. Chairman Robinson was ercr'-t'" 1 to the platform by the commit a- among whom was Mayor James ( . Dahlman of Omaha, who has been '-t every convention since 1896, others of the escorting committee included Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, wife of the noted artist and Senator Bruce of Maryland. The credentials committee recom mended the seating of the Louisiana delegation that had been named by the state committee, a distinct vic tory for the Smith forces in the com mittee.

Talk of Senator Sobinsan of Arkau- sas Persists With Hitchcock as Possible Choice. Houston, June 26. The conven tion thrust its shadow over the vice president moon today and sent it' into a temporary eclipse while hun dreds scanned the heavens in an at tempt to identify the man it held. There were many who contended that he would be revealed as Sen ator Robinson of Arkansas. Others j whose political eyes were equally dis I cerning spoke the names of former Sen. Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebras ! ka, Evan Wcollen of Indiana. Cor 'dell Hull of Tennessee, and Senator Bakley of Kentucky. But thru the hall there ran the whisper of a possibility that if Gov ernor Smith were given first place on the ticket he might decline to make any suggestion as to a prefer ence for a running mate and ask that the vice presidential nominee be chosen by the delegates themselves. This would throw the race into a mad scramble for delegates with half a dozen candidates or more having a chance of gaining the nomination, j Senator Robinson will be support ; ed by many delegations and his Ar kansas group is boosting him vigor ously for second place. They view him as one who could match blow for blow with the republican Curtis in a fight for the midwestern votes, in addition to holding the south in line in November. The Nebraskans and several dele gates from the border of the wheat and corn belt are boosting Hitchock , for the presidency, but with a surge toward tne vice presidential clan.
