request that the State Democratic

adopting a platform covering state is
sues.
Although peaceful and concilatory
in its larger aspect The convention did
not sail a wholly smooth sea. The
morning session adjourned in tho midst
OF a storm OF excitement 1t was con-
siderably past the hour for luncheon
and Representative Flood who had ap-
peared on the platform in response to
insistent cries. was closing a stirring
speech. Far in the rear OF the big
auditorium arose cries for Glass The
name few from mouth to mouth. and
In minute the hall was in an uproar
Mr.. Flood concluded his speech and
took his seat
Judge Duke declared n motion TO ad-
journ in order, but was met with "A
freak outbreak of the call for Reprc-
sentative Glass. The chair raped
loudly for order. but the demonstration
only grew in volume Some one shout
ed mo steam roller" and the disorder
increased. Quiet was restored only
when the chair. taking advantage of a
brief lull in the excitement, shouted
the information that Mr. Glass was not
In the hall.
When Mr.. Glass finally did appear
late In the night session after his
unanimous election AS national commit
man, he was received with n demon
stration. In several sections of the
hall delegates leaped to their feet with
cheers. Governor Stuart had n few min
utes before paid to Mr.. Glass the most
whole-hearted and enthusiastic tribute
that the convention had heard i'm a
nominating speech. and the Sixth Dis
: trfct Congressman was decidedly the
man of the hour.

given him by his native State has
brought him encouragement and han

pointed reference to 1t and one alone.
Expressing his gratitude for the honor
just bestowed upon him, he said that
tho action of the convention was all the
more gratifying because 1T reflected
the united attitude OF the Democracy

"Harmony-yes. thank God, we have

Glass, but 1t is not harmony purchased
