tioning the candidates name until
the last words OF his speech. Then
the din broke loose. II was noticea'
able that the New York delegation
wasn't particularly excited. although
a few OF the delegates stood up and
applauded The Vermont delegation
were the real cheer leaders. They
stood on their chairs and whooped
il up strong. Oregon's representa-
tives-the only delegates instructed
for the justice by a primAry-were
hardly second in their enthusiasm.
The band was started in an effort TO

Three days ago. before the HIS
mony negotiations came 10 any def
mite head. the Old Guard claimed
ability TO head Of nominations by
adjourning after the FIRST ore or
two inconciusive ballots. II was be-
l!eved today the DOMINATING forces
