Baltimore, June 27,-The democratic
national convention at 1852 tonight
decided to begin the roll call OF states
FOR the nomination of candidates for
the presidency. IL was agreed later
that no ballot should be taken and
mat after the nominating speeches
We're heard the convention would ad-
Journ until noon tomorrow.
When the roll call of states was
started, Senator william b, Bank
head. Of Ala bama, took the platform
and put Representative Oscar W. I'm
derwood In nomination for the presi-
dency.
"Democracy's real leader and best
asset. invulnerable in his record OF
long public service. imperturbsble In
action and impregnable In honor. and
piameless i'm his private life, was the
way in which Oscar w. Underwood. of
Alabama, was described to the con-
vention by William r. Bankhead. Of
Alabama, who nominated Mr.. Under ,
wood for the presidency.
After declaring that the -cS= 5lican {
party had become. in the hours of
lts present degeneracy. the embodi- ,
,1ent OF complacent incompetency and \
broken faith. and that, although II
claimed to be the protector of labor :
me fruits Of labor have oeen gath 4
tred as dividends by illegal combina-
IONS in restraint of trade" Mr.. 4,
bankhead asserted that The democrat
6 party had been acting safely and !,
Then. going on to describe the quail
ties needed in a leader who could
AIRY the democratic party to success
le said IL would be logical to put Mr. .
NORWOOD In command of the forces q
nthat battle where mis- brilliant
'ehievements already had created de- q
nocracy's opportunity and redeemedj Z
