What a day, what a day. These Democrats really settled down to somo plain and fancy ponventioning today, and every min ute of the proceedings was well worth the money. It was a big day for the Roose velt followers. The seating of two state delegations who are strong for Roosevelt, and the election of Sen ator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, as the permanent chairman of the convention gave the New York gov ernor's forces three important and decisive victories. The session started, running true to form, exactly one hour and fifteen minutes after the scheduled opening time. The first business of the day was the report of the committee on credentials. This report involved the acceptance of the Louisiana and Minnesota delegations. For two hours debate was heard on the con vention floor as to whether the regu lar delegates from these two states should be accepted, or whether the contesting delegates from the respec tive states should be seated in their places. Huey Long of Louisiana won his battle to seat his delegation of twen ty. Huey, who has for the past few years been a colorful and active mem ber of congress, and long a leading democrat, took the floor in defense of his own delegation. He didn't get a very complimentary reception from the audience. The delegates on the floor joined the galleries in giving the southern gentleman the well known "bronx cheer," and their boo ing hindered Long in getting started on what he had to say. Chairman Barkley was forced to interfere and to remind the convention that al though it might not agree with this gentleman it was its duty to give him an opportunity to be heard. After j Huey got started things changed. By the time he had finished his speech the crowd was cheering for him. This tall, black haired, southern fellow certainly knew just what to say ami how to say it, and even though he got the boos at the start he got the votes at the end, and that's what counts. In dealing with the Minnesota delegation the delegates were suc cessful in striking a compromise. Af- ter spending a full hour on trying to decide which delegation from the Badg'er state should be received they decided to take both of them. Nice agreeable bunch of folks these Dem ocrats. Anyway, this arrangement cuts Roosevelt's power in that state right in two. L'nder this plan Roose velt gets twelve of the state's 24 votes, and the other twelve will go to the Roosevelt opposition. That's bad for the governor, but its better to have 12 votes than none at all. The big fight of the day was had when it came time for the conven tion to elect its permanent chairman. Senator Thomas J. Walsh, the white haired old senator who made it so uncomfortable for t?;e Republicans back in the "tea-pot dome" days, was the candidate favored by the Roose velt backers. Jouett Shouse, one of the nation's leading Democrats from the state of Kansas was the other man slated for this post. Shouse was the man who was picked by the na tional committee last April. He was also the one backed by Al Smith, Raskob, and some of the rest of the party's big shots." But he couldn't stand up against the Roosevelt power house which has been steamrolling its way around here for the past three days. As far as being capable of hand ling the job of permanent chairman, which is really no job for a boy, its generally conceded that one of these men would have done as well as the other. But since Walsh was the man that presided over that orgy which the Democrats, held tat Madison Square eight years ago, which lasted for nearly three weeks, he really should be perfectly capable of hand-. lir.g any situation which presents it self. After the permanent chairman had made his speech, during which he rapped his gavel and the republi cans, the report of the committee on rules was read to the delegates. But no one paid much attention. The big fun for the day was over and they were getting tired. Some even got up and started to leave the conven tion hall. It is entirely possible that they were mad about something. During the roll call on the voting on the question of the permanent chairman there was much happening. The delegates from that good old state Oi Iowa caused a sensation when a couple of them disagreed on how the delegation should vote. A good first class fi.-tic combat was in the making when the law stepped in. Seems like you can't do anything in this town unless you do it under the eyes of a cop. Demonstration were in order to day. It was easy to see when Gov. Ritchie of Maryland, presidential candidate from that state, entered the hall that the delegates would demonstrate on the slightest excuse. About half the delegates on the floor stood and faced the governor's box and wildly waved their hats and Vallery-Davis Wedding Held at Mynard Church Church Attractively Arranged for Ceremony Marriage Lines Read by Rev.

This demonstration had hardly subsided before the or gan brought the entire assembly to their feet with that old familiar bal lad. "Sidewalks of New York." All faces were turned toward the box where Al Smith sits, nnd as the for mer governor acknowledged their re ception to him the whole crowd yell ed loud and long. Al is very gracious about receiving such a demonstra tion as this one, and he rewarded his enthusiastic followers by giving them several of his very best smiles. That smile of his has power, and he knows it. The last demonstration of the day came when it "va3 announced that Senator Walsh had been elect ed permanent chairman. With that announcement the Montana delega tion grabbed their banner and start ed a parade, with all the rest of the rest of the western senator's backers falling into line. The organ started to play "When It's Springtime in the Rockies," and finished up with "Happy Days Are Here Again." It was a big moment for the "cow boys" and believe nie they made the best of it. This latter demonstration was, incidently, the only one in which the Nebraska delegation, as a delegation, has taken part. It seemed good to see the home boys and girls getting on somebody's band wagon. It was thought that the ihird ses sion of the convention would be held Tuesday night. At five thirty, how ever, the delegates were adjourned until noon Wednesday. The "Demorrats have always been gluttons for oratorical punishment, they showed that Monday.
