Many of the delegates hid expressed the Opinion that Vice President Curtis should Ite - set aside, not because he was not loyal to the party or not able, but because they thought s, younger ma n w ous campaign ahead.

In the eyes of the nation, was the convention’s action Wednesday night in regard to prohihi-: tlon. The preliminary battle of the wets and the drys had been waged fiercely, and in the end neither side won. For th* 4 gathering was sternly ruled by the conservative Element and the victory went to the “moist." No one of the practical politicians denied that something must be done In the way »f furthering modification of prohibition legislation.- The demand for this was too general to he ignored, ami then. too. it was certain the Democrats would go a long way In that direction. Rut the President and his advisers, together with the more conservative leaders la the convention, believed that a plank limited to submission of fiat n'peal or retention <>f. the Eighteenth amendment would be a political error that would alienate tpo many ▼otes. So after long conferences ami much warm debate the platform committee prepared a resolution, approved by the White House, the main paragraph of which <lecl:tred. the Republicans "believe that the people should have an opportunity to pass upon a

A large,, portrait of George Washington, surmounted by an eagle faced the speakers' stand. The coats of arms of euch state and territory were oh the walls.

The repealers, under the leadership of Senator Bingham of (Mnnecticut, formulated a minority substir tute for this plank, and. argued for its adoption with • vigor and skill. The risajority resolution was support- «;■■! with .-pm! detern .nation in a debate tjjat laste.l two hours, with ffvquent no sy interruptions from the thronged galleries. I‘robably not a single V..te «.<s changed by the ora-, tory and p’.-.-s, n>e middle-..f theers. were In the majority and the plank offered' by the liberals was re- . JeetTd 1»V a vote of i'AT tel 472, ’? The Bingham resolution .was as follows": “We reconui.end that the. e, tigress of th< 1 ni.ted States ittiiuediateH' propose an amendment to the- federal Constitution repealing the Eighteenth ■ to. conventions of thej.pesiple of tile several states called : for that sole. pur|H>se Ln accordance with the pro- ' - S of Article.

Effectively abolish the sal>»on. whether ■ open or concealed, and bring the liquor traffic its. If under complete public supervision: and control with r. venit. s prop, rly drawn from legalized sources for the relief of the burdened taxpayers.” Opening of the Convention. With solemnity, considerable dignity a*. 1 very little enthusiasm the convention was formally opened half an hour late ; on Tues.lay morning. The sections for delegates, and alternates were filled, but in the galleries were great numbers of unoccupied seats. The band played inter rpittently. the" news photographers shot their flash lamps continually. In front of every notable, and finally Senator Simeon D. Fees of Ohio, chairman of the national committee, nattily clad, stepped to the speaker s stand, sternly ordered the flood lights turned down and started proceedings with a little talk in which he called attention to the fact that Flag day was being celebrated. Thereupon half a dozen American Legion flags were brought in and grouped In front of the stand, a huge flag was let down from the center of the roof, the four big batteries of flood lights were turned full on the Stars and Stripes and the hand struck np the national anthem as the multitude stood. Chairman Fess then Introduced Silas Strawn, head of the citizens’ committee, who spoke briefly, giving due credit to Edward N. Hurley, a

Sixty-fire water 5 coolers served the thirsty, and they were well patronized. The telephone company had Installed 425 extra telephones. The post office had established a branch for the delivery and receipt of mall. The telegraph companies provided for the sending of

Democrat, who did the chief work in obtaining ahd preparing for the convention; and following him came Mayor Anton Cermak with a cordial welconie to the delegates and mention of the many attractions offered them by Chicago. The invocation was delivered by Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Washington, D. C. It was a humble acknowledgment of our sins and faults that have brought us to the present sad condition and a plea for help and guidance In the task of getting back to ‘‘honest industry, sound learning and pure manners,” Now came the election of" Senator Lester J. Dickinson of lowa as temporary chairman —a mere formality—and the white-haired keynoter promptly began the delivery of the speech on which he and. various party leaders had labored many hours. Dickinson’s Keynote Speech. , Senator Dickinsons address was a commendable ' effort under rather difficult circumstances. Despite the condition into which the country, together with the rest of the world, has fallen, he found many reasons to “point pride” to the’ achievements of the administration, and he did not fail to give credit to President Hoover personally for much of what hasi been accomplished or attempted in the way of restoring. economic prdspejrity.. Said he: •Perhapjs it was with prophetic vision that the American people elected Herbert jflpover four years ago with the gratest popular and electoral college vote lany President eVer received. At a|iy rate, he had scarcely taken thei oath of his office before economy stomn clouds had begun to cast their sinister* shadow over the nations of the world. "His first act prevented a financial panic. Invoking the powers of the federal reserve board, he prevented this catastrophe. Thus he cushioned the 'effects of the debacle in Wall . t which follow,-.; the gre.rest •p. r od «.f s>,>ck speculation the world had ever known. Social Order Maintained. “With |thei knowledge that every I: ajor .eonvtf.-ion in the pr.'l had beet) attended by strikes, riots, bio. dshixli ahd. death. President H oVer's next com vrn whs to maintain soeial order.' ‘To thS’-'eiu! he summoned to the \\ H ,'«x it.d i'tt 11 l- aders of the nation and obtained from them a se |o maintain existing .wage scales as .long as it was poss Ide to do so. oni the same day leaders of organized ialior, s.-.ritm around ti e same . conferemje table, gave their pledge that theye would be no .industrial wage disturbances." ■The speaker then contrasted the stable social order in America with the (Laos that prevailed in many countries a broad,; and told of Mr. Hoover’s drastic action in proposing the moratorium that averted world wide catastrophe. He followed with a relation of the creation of the Reconstruction Finance eorporatipp and of other measures Initiated by the President, ■ The I temotrats .were scored for their alleged . efforts to distort every move Mr. Hoover made. and especially for their efforts; to inflate the national currency. , ' " - Praise for the Farm Board. With Considerable adroitness Senator Dickinson even managed to defend the te leijn! farm board s doings. On .this subject }he said : • j Hie. fj.trm board has been the butt ofj-mucli criticism, .the greater part of w(Uih is unjust. We have heard much abuse of the board’s operations ■ by its financing of co-operatives to purchase these but we have heard v<Ty little of the fact that by its entry ■ Into the-market in February d;:r;:.g the crop year of 11KSO and again ife November of the, next erop wear it stemmed the panic which had broken agricultural prices. ‘'The farm board held- prices in each of these two crops above work! levels to such a degree that the very moderate estimate of the amount realized by the American farmer over and above what they would have realized otherwise is between and Tt nnitters. little if the government loses si,-4>,otio.o<M> for the savings it made 't<» hordes of.farmers' throughout this whole land.lt was throwing a regimenjt Into the. front of the battle, to U se, but Saved millions. ■ Dsrwtly *hd indirectly, the federal, government has. during the last three years, poured into the agricultural industry nearly oae billion dollars. Grievous as his suffering may be. no farmer can deny the. undeviating friendship of the Republican party.” The keynoter spoke long and fluently, but said not a single word about the prohibition'problem. Early In his address Senator Dickitison mentioned President Hoover, and the delegates and alternates rose en masse, cheering anil shouting, while the band broke out in a patriotic tune. But the demonstration was a feeble effort and did not last long. Bertrand Snell Takes Command. Wednesday’s first session was given over to the permanent organization of the convention and reports of several committees. Representative Bertrand H. Snell of New York was elected ttermanent chairman and on receiving the gavel from Senator IKckinson he launched immediately into his lengthy address. lie declared the future bf the country was safe only if th.- Republicans are again entrusted with Its management,'and he pictured the tragedy that would result if the Democrats win control. “Victory has come to the Republican

party because victory has been eari)<‘d.’Mr. Snell said. "1. <• nathiri inis "lievn safe when the Republican pirrty lyas been in control of the gowriiiiiient'. It has never been safe when Rjepublicans were not on guard. ■ , “Everywhere, outside of the Repub lican party, is confusion and chaos. The only sound and ifnittsl public sentiment of the United States is represented in this convention. “The Ilempcratic party is fatally weak beciittse it does not command the support or confidence of the nation and because it is utterly lacking in team work. The Democrats have a minority coniplex which they cannot change. As a fault finding, caviling minority opposition they are 100 per .cent perfect. 1 As a driving, constructive majority; they, are a 100 per cent failure." ' Listing thb Hoover achievements, the chairman ’declared that the President had: “Solidified labor and capital against ithe enemy (the ghastly I>e-tiience of world wide depression) ; he avoided the detnlly pit of the dole: he rescued the drought victims; he beat off the attacks upon railroads, agriculture, banks arid public- securities: he mobilized the world’s financial resources; he preserved The integrity of the gold Standard, and warded off the stealthy approach of panic byway of Germany.”, All “Demonstrated” Except Oregon. The . delegates had taken to heart the comments ,in the press on the sadly weak Hoover demonstration of the first se.->ion, so when Mr. Snell first named the President there was a great whoop of j<>y. Standards were pulled up and waved and the cheering continued for perhiips fifteen, minutes while everyone stood. No,, hot quite everyone. In tpe front center of:the hall a little grohp Os men stolidly retained their seats and remained silent. They Were the delegates from Oregon and they were under instruction to vote for Dr. Joseph I. France of Maryland. Deeming it their duty to sit steady, they did just that, forming a small, quiet islet in a stormy sea. Secretary Gleason stepped forward as Chairman Snell concluded his speech, and announo-d that the committee on resolutions had completed its draft of a pf'vhibitiop plank, copies of which would be delivered to the state delegations at two o'clock so they might consider It in caucuses. To give time for this operation the convention was then adjourned until eight o'clock-in the evening instead of four o'clock as had been the plan. Delegates thereupon hustled away from the Stadium to their state headquarters In the loop hotels, eager to get at that all-important resolution. Battle Over Prohibition Plank. Anticipating the prohibition plank fight, the gallery ticket holders crowded into the bail in the evening long before most of the delegates arrived, and the affair took on more of the appearance of a real national convention from which excitement and pleasure might be derived. The inevitable delay in starting proceedings was mitigated for the spectators by the tireless efforts of the man at the pipe organ who played all the

Alice and Dolly Attract Attention at Convention Among all attending the convention probably most attention was attracted £y those two social rivals of a few years ago. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Mrs. Dolly Gann. The widow of the late Speaker Nick Longworth ostensibly was here only to enjoy' the spectacle and meet her legion of friends, but there was a rumor that she was a moving spirit in the attempt to sidetrack

popular airs he knew. At last Chairman Snell obtained order and introduced James R. Garfield, chairman of the committee on resolutions, to submit the platform. The document was long, as always. The introduction was the usual laudation of the doings of the party and the administration during the past three and a half years, and then came thirty-eight planks covering a wide range of subjects. Mild demonstrations of approval from various delega-, tions marked the reading of resolutions in which they were especially but everyone in the Stadium. delegates and spectators alike, was waiting eagerly for the prohibition plank. At last Mr. Garfield, pausing d second, uttered the words: "The Eighteenth amendment,” and instantly a roar of joyous anticipation broke out. The preamble displeased no <sne, Until the speaker read the sentence: “We do not favor a submission limited to the issue of retention or repeal.” Then came applause froju the conservatives that Was utterly drowned out by the angry boos and jeers of the occupants of the galleries. The liproar continued until Chairman Snell was forced to appeal to- the audience to "pay attention to Mr. Garfield andnot to partisanship." When the clamor was stilled Mr, Garfield hurriedly completed the reading of the platform-,, and mo.ved its adoption. Bingham Offers Repeal Substitute. Tlven stepped forward Senator Hiram Bingham, protagonist in the flat repeal movement, to present the. mis nority substitute for the prohibition plank. White haired, lean, and right oh'-ledge, ■he • looked every inch , the tighter as he;looked out over the house with a grim smile. The repealers aifiong the delegations arid in the galleries—the latter appeared to be unanimous—instantly started a tremendous demonst r;itapn. the standards of many of. the wet states being carried ■ through the aisles, t< g with collections of beer steins and “growlers." The repeal plank being tnodehsl on that adopted fhe.Vrevious week by thp Indiana Republican convention. ,the.i-"Hoosier delegation pare dd behind a huge I'anner lettered I* ■ -rWiK |g r with the words "Indiana Demands Repeal" and “Indiana Leads the Way.’’ Dry delegates of the state of Washington fought hand to hand with their wet colleagues to; keep their standard from being added to the procession, ami won the battle with the aid of the police. Response to Senator Ringham's arguments was so f-erviil and loud that, one might have thought hi§ cause wds won. if it were not for the knowledge that the contest had alr< adv been, decided in the caucuses of the state delegations. Galleries 800 Garfield. Garfield took the floor again to de-, fend, needlessly, the majority report, and in opening he deplored the fact that in the midst of a grettt economic crisis, with problems of vast import pressing for solution, the party should be compelled to 1 spend so much time on the prohibition question. Then he accused the repeal advocates of offering no constructive substitute for prohibition. “They ask us." sa:<j Garfield, “to go back to those conditions of which the younger people of our generation knojv nothing—” The sneaker was cut short by x an outbreak; of bedlam. It began with some scattering hoots and then, gathering volume, burst into a deafening tornado of derision, dying down as quickly as It rose. “Yes. my friends, I repeat,”' Garfield resumed. Another avalanche of derisive yells. “I repeat—" '"•Another torrent of howls. Cliairman Snell hammered and hammered until he almost broks his gavel, and finally, reminding the galleryites that they were the guests of the convention, he threatened to. have them all ejected, which would have been some job for the sergeants at arms. Mr. Garfield was reasonably patient and at last was allowed to finish, though he was heartily booed as he stepped back to his chair. Blast From Butler. Next came Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, the militant president of Columbia university, and a leader of the nation's wets. He described the mapority plank as "the worst proposition almost that has been made,” a misleading proposal that us years of litigation, arid he contradicted Mr. Garfield's assertion that the repealers offered no substitute for the prohibition amendment in the way of national control of liquor. He landed party loyalty but shouted “What comes first is party honesty, and courage.” Secretary of the Treasury Ogden

Vice President Curtis. Mrs. Gann made no secret of the fact that her presence was due to her determination to bring about the renomination of her brother, the Vices President She worked ceaselessly and tirelessly to this end, conferring with leaders and entertaining women delegates, .always asking the latter how their state delegations stood on the question that was all important to her. She scorned to comment on the reports of Mrs. Longworth’s anti-Curtis activities, but they certainly in-

Mills, speaking presumably for the anministration, ably supported the plank that had been drafted with his assistance. His most striking assertion was: “The submission of the question 'Shall we repeal or retain?’ leaves it .to the people to make the choice of whether to endure the evils of. today or to return to the evils of the old saloon and the old liquor traffic. The minority report gives the choice between the speakeasy and the saloon and gives no other choice. It returns to the conditions the Eighteenth amendment. ‘The difference between the two proposals is this; The minority report holds a promise and hope that the saloon will not return. Our proposal is such that nowhere can the saloon come back as an American institution again. We propose to protect the nation against .the return of conditions which Americans never want to see again.” These big guns were followed in rapid succession by others.of considerable caliber and some who were more like popguns. Col. Ambrose Kennedy of Rhode Island, Walter S.. Fenton of Vermont, Mrs. Agnes Jones Giffqrd of New Jersey and Governor Balzer of Nevada were among the supporters, of the minority-report. The allotted time having expired, Chairman Shell ordered the roll called oh the motion to substitute the minority plank for that offered by the majority. The result was that the rewere defeated by 681 to 472. Their voife was really considerably larger than they had expected. Matty of the delegations were split.. Hurriedly the chairman put the motion to adopt the majority report as a whole, , and declared it carried by a viva voce vote. • By this it was after- one O’clock; and the weaVy Republicans were glad.' to' adjourn and get a little sleep. , Herbert Hoover Nominated. Every one stood up and sang a stanza of America to open the final session at 11:30 o'clock Thursday morning. The call of the roll.'was ordered for nominations for tfie Presidency, Alabama yielded to California, aa>i J< seph Scott took the rostrum to present the name of lit rbert H<><>ver. The distiiuruisht-d lawyer and eminent Roihan Catholic talked eloquently and at length about California and the West generally, and. then pronounced the necessary eulogy on Mr. Hoover. . As he uttered the name the band in the .gallery blared forth, another band entered playing iati'l, the stated demonstration begat). N.arly every state standard was carried in the procession through the aisles, together with some huge bankers and other devices, and front nets in the ceiling hundreds of toy balloons, each bearing the word "Hoover." were released to float down among the delegates and guests. Tlven the most ardent Republican could not claim that the demonstration was a real success. It was kept going for thirty minutes, but only with the help of the hard working bands and the vociferations of a few enthusiasts. However,-it sufficed. No other state offered a candidate until Oregon was reached. Then a Mr. L. B. Sandblast of stepped forward and told of the many reasons .why, in his opinion, the convention should select former Senator Joseph I. France of Maryland for the party's standard bearer. .Mild ap-. plause. France’s Scheme Squelched. “The secretary will proceed with the ■roll call’’ said Chairman Snell. . But Doctor France itad another idea. Pushing his way onto the rostrum,- he demanded a chance to speak, and when the chairman refused, he shook his list- in Mr. Snell's face. Half a dozen officials and one policeman hastened to the resclie and. France, still protesting, was hustled back. It was generaly supposed at first that he had desired to speak in his own behalf, bur the truth was helhtended to withdraw hi* own candidacy and put Calvin Coolidge in nomination for the Presidency. This (lid not accord at aljwith the plans pt' the managers of the>‘convention,.so he was squelched. ■ It is needless to give th’e details of the vote for the Presidential nomjnef. Suffice it to say that Mr. Hoover received votes, the rj?st of the l.lM.bei'ng scattered among Coolidge, Dawes, Wadsworth, France and Blaine of Wisconsin. <»n motion <>f a gentleman from Oregon the nomination was made unanimous. . y w .

Notification committees were named, thanks voted to Chicago and other formalities carried out, and then In mid- - afternoon the Republican natidnal convention of T 932 came peacefully to an end. / Nine delegates from Wisconsin who belong to the La Follette faction incurred the .wrath of their colleagues on the opening day because they failed to rise when Temporary Chairman Dickinson first mentioned the President., and again kept their seats when theDflag was unfurled, rising only as the national anthem was played after Mayor G. W. Meade, of Wisconsin Rapids had cried shame.at them. The conservative delegates from the Badger state held a special caucus on this matter and denounced the #a' Follette men bitterly.
