the same way, C. P. J. Mooney,
editor of the Commercials
tried to carry the contest to the
floor of the convention at Nash
vile Wednesday night. How,
ever, the convention refused to
hear him. Cat calls, boots, jeers,
and derisive cries came from
every section of the house.
"Hurrah for Crumpv', Put Pete
Monteverde up!," "Sit down., "
and other like shouts echoed and
reechoed through the conven-

to abandon his speech. The
regular Democratic delegation
