After the prayer and the singing of ( "America," the chair recognized Sen ator Wadsworth of New York, who < sprang to the platform as the conv-n---thm cheered. He declared that he had been directed by th" delegation from New York to offer a resolution —a recommendation for dispatch of “ tt’. gram of greeting to Chauncey M. Depew and an expression of regret that the state of Depew's health hud made It Impossible for him to attend th|< convention. The tntsw ■ x pressed the hope and expectation that the convention four years h'”’ 1 would hear Depew speak. , The roll of states was then call'" 1 for nutiohal committeemen -one man and one woman from each.

"He is the exemplification." Dr. Burton said, "of prodigality of thought and economy of expression.” I Again he said: His mind hns time to work because his tongue permits it." Throughout.

He declarded that the party's chances fnr success this fal were best in the hands of the president. Ex-Governor William W. Stickney of Vermont made the third seconding speech. "With Coolidge as our bearer.” he said, "victory is assured." , Judge Charles H Carr, of Oregon i was next to second the nomination. ! He said he knew no extended state- . ment was ne< esary from him.
