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
