M-Adoo state, and Pennsylvania, • Smith state, In hla rounds. Official* Clear Aisles. The session was slower than usual getting under way today. It was 1T.40 when the gavel fell. Sergeants-at-arms, more dutiful then yesterday, scurried down the sIsles, pushing delegates Into their seat and shouting "Order! Order! Order!" To their afd came uniformed city police, also more dutiful than yester • day. It took five minutes to obtain order and then Rev. Dwight Wylie, a. Pres byterian minister, was Introduced to deliver the Invocation. After a series of announcements the roll of states was continued. Minnesota was called and sent for ward William J. Quinn, an alternate of St. Paul, to second the nomination of Gov. A1 Smith. Governor Smith, the Minnesotan de clared. was a "general who could lead the hosts of democracy over the top in November.” There was vigorous applause when the Minnesotan finished. The band struck up "The Sidewalk* of New York." but It was soon over and the roll call proceeded. Mississippi Yields. Mississippi yielded to Ohio, and Newton D. Baker took the platform to speak for James M. Cox. He was accorded a spontaneous and generally warm welcome. More than half the delegates rose to tlieir feet and applauded as Baker smilingly took up his position before the amplifiers. Baker was listened to with rapt at I tention. His speech was the first before the convention that whole heartedly and unreservedly endorsed the league of nations. Other speakers, keynote or nominators, have ekated around it cautiously until tho platform builders have fought their fight. His first direct mention of the league by name evoked a short-lived demonstration. Ohioans and south ern delegates leaped to their feet and cheered. Most of the delegates sat tight at first, but as the cheering con tinued. most of them finally came to their feet. It was over in a minute. Cox Demonstration. Ohio and New York led a demon stration for Cox when Baker fin ished. Michigan helped, so did Cali tnrnia. All of the delegates arose, but after a brief applause few of them be came demonstrative. The band came in with "Ohio," B which was a feature of the Cox nom ination at San Francisco four years ago. Then It followed with "Didn’t He Ramble.” amd finally came to the "Beautiful Ohio." Indiana encouraged the Ohioans and gave them evidence of moral sup port. Baker left th# platform immediate H ly upon conclusion of his speech and \ went to the platform meeting, then in progress across the street. After about 15 minutes, Chairman Walsh rapped for order and the band cut off In the mlddls of "Beautiful Ohio.” , The roll call went on. Montana sent William M, Maloney to the platform to second th# nom ination of Governor Smith. Speaker Loses Voles. Maloney had yelled so hard for A1 Smith yesterday that he had lost his voice. It could not be heard three feet from the stand and he finally gave it up and abandoned hla speeoh. ’’The chair desires to announce,” said Walsh, “that his colleague from Montana came to the platform to second the nomination of Governor Smith of New York.” Loud cheers and applause greeted I this. Governor Sam V. Stewart of Mon tana wag then Introduced and he eec-! onded the nomination of McAdoo. “The man who will receive seven-i eighths of the Montana delegation.” said Governor Stewart, "has earned those votes, ns well as the progres she vote of the entire country." Governor Stewart lauded McAdoo’s administration of the Treasury- de-1 partment. I “Friend of Farmer.” H» described McAdoo ns the "friend ) of the fnrmer and the foe of Wall ntrert and the money trust." “He served the masses. He drove the aids of special privilege from the t-ensury. He gav e to the masers who ’cil the first national recognition they have ever had by that governmental authority.” Governor Stewart also paid tribute J to Senators Walsh and Wheeler, both of Montana, whom he described as the men who had "revealed th» scan dals of Washington." - "So th* democracy of Montana, , which gave the democratic party these two men. comes to you today with a mandate to name here Wil Iliam Glbhe McAdoo." he concluded. The McAdoo states put on their usual demonstration as Stewart fin ished Bryan's Name Submitted. After five minutes, Walsh put a stop to it with vigorous rapping of his gavel. Nebraska was called and Eugene D. O'Sullivan of Omaha took the plat form and placed the name of Gov ernor Charles W. Bryan before the I convention. There were cries of "Hurrah for Bryan" ns he came forward, but whether for "Charlie" or "Bill” there was no way of telling. Chairman Walsh was forced to cal] tho convention to order while O'Sul livan spoke. He said he believed most of the noise came from the galleries, and admonished them to silence. Mr. O'Sullivan said in part: "Nebraska has sorrowed and re Joined with all good democrat* during this convention—sorrowed with you because of the loss of that, great, lead er whose Americanism like the Mllkv Wav lightened the farthest flung stretrh of human experience. 1’lace of Prayer.

Indi ana got up and yelled too, ns did Oklahoma and California and Florid*. The band played ‘ Thera's A I<ong, Long Trail.” Michigan dipped It* slate standard In Nebraska * direction and Georgia did likewise.

When Prickly Porky finally got It through his head that the two little F orcupines with Sirs. Porky were his own children he thought no more of driving them away. He looked'them all over, sniffed at them, arjd then with a grunt turned his back on them shuffled ever to a tree, climbed It end in a few minutes was eating his breakfast quite as If nothing unusual had happened. He ought to have been a proud father. Perhaps he was. But if he was, he didn t show it. He took no more notice of those young Porcu pine* than if they hadn't been there at all. As for the two youngsters, they paid no further attention to him They followed their mother up a neighboring tree and got their first lesson in getting their own break fast. Of course, It ween't long before sharp eyes discovered those young Porcupines, Blacky the Crow was the first one to see them. He hap pened to alight In the top of a tree nearby and began cawing.

It was the hurry-up call to his relatives. In no time at all all the Prows In the Green Forest were gathered about that tree in which the Porcupines were getting their breakfast.

Those young Por eiipines never euspeeled how many sharp eves watched them that day. it was just Idle curiosity that brought moat of the visitors to that part of ’he Green Forest. But there were e few who were prompted hy more I than curiosity. One of these we* Reddy Fox. "If those youngsters are small enough they ought to make good eat irg,” thought Reddy. ‘‘If they are as stupid as their parents, and they prob | I Iliac ky the Crow was the first to see them. ahlv are, I ought to have no trouble In catching them. Such litlle fellow* are probably harmless." Ho Reddy slipped away to the Green Forest to look for the young Porcu pines. He found them without dllfl ci.lty. But, to his disappointment, they were In a tree. He took great ccci'e to keep out of sight. From his hiding place he watched them care fully, lie could see no Utile spear*. They looked plump. Reddy licked hi* Ups. "Pll hide until they come down out of that tree." thought Reddy. “If they do not slick too closely to Mrs. Porky. I ought to be able to catch one of them without any trouble. I’ve never tasted Porcupine, but a young and tender erne ought to be very good eating, indeed."
