FORT WORTH, Texas, June T.
Congressman Oscar Galloway, who
arrived In For. Worth late yester-
day from Washington, preparatory

denomination from the Twelfth dis

object Is to prepare a market for

of the big steel companies, and he
told me the stock In his company

obtained and the republican conyen-

Over in the Auditorium. very
much the same scenes were being
enacted, on a slightly smaller scale

ed, but it wasn't nearly so large q

like proportions didn't create the
impression of vastness such as struck
the onlooker on entering the barn

The progressive conclave was
more mixed, also. There were wo-
men delegates. But there was the
same noise and clatter and enthu-
siasm.
The fiery read head of National
Chairman Victor Murdoch moved
comet-like on the stage.

The real fireworks is expected to

Tonight the Resolutions commit

grind of hearings and closed ses-

1t was National Chairman Charles

precisely. Hours before that min

A band, tucked far up above in

waiting thousands in good humor.
On the floor, where standards
bearing the names of the states
marked off the space reserved Tor
the actual participants in this quad
riennial festivity, the delegates We're

There was a constant roar OF
noise from the floor and the CALLER

voices blended into one indescrlDa-

ion and talk and stamping of feet
and whispering and shouting rolled
