voters of the state at the general

Ole Buck, reresenting the state
press association, who was assisting

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. TRAVELING LIBRARY HERE

Houston is
Trying to Pick
Running Mate
! 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.
