Miss Helen Varick Boswell of New
York, declared he was "sound in mind,
body and Republican principle"
Herbert Hoover was placed in nom
NATION with speech by Judge Nathan
l.. Miller, of Syracuse, N. Y The de-
cislon to place Mr.. Hoover in nomina-
tion was made while the convention
was in session There was a demon
stration when the former food admin
strator's name was mentioned
IN the galleries scores Of white
hoover pennants were broken out when
Judge Miller appeared and there was
more than minute of cheering when
Senator Smoot, called temporarily to
the chair, announced that Mr.. Hoover's
name. would be placed in nom nation.
Judge Miller said he believed he ex.
pressed "the wish and voiced the hope
OF great numbers of patriotic men
which they can Loyalty follow to Ger
tain victory"
Made Illustrious by Deeds
II base the case upon the proved
worth and known views of man whose
name has been made illustrious by
great Deeds" said Judge Miller, "by
transcendent service to his country
and to humanity"
When Judge Miller spoke Of Mr..
Hoover's views on the peace treaty
voice cried:
"What was it? Democratic dcctrinel"
Judge Miller reviewed Mr.. Hooyer's
service at home and abroad, and cited
his criticism Of administration acts
and policies.
"There is no man." he said, "who to
the same extent has the confidence, the
respect and the admiration of the peo-
pie of the world. At the same time
you will put at the head of the govern
ment a man who knows how to protect
American interests"
"Mr. Hoover he's especial ability, as.
demonstrated by his war work." Judge
Miller declared. Reviewing his hu-
manitarian work abroad, Judge Miller
said his candidate "has carried the
American flag further than it had ever
been carried beforc--into the homes of
the poor and the lowly Of the new de-
mocracies Of the world.
"That inspiring achievement, unpar-
alleled in history, betokens a vision, a
human sympathy, craftsmanship, an
organizing and administrative capacity
and force Of character which the
American people, If given a chance,
will call to their service. 1t rests with
this convention to say whether the
people shall have that chance"
Demonstration for Hoover
There were several Interruptions dur
ing the speech, one man in the gallery
shouting "1s he a voter?" and another
wanting to know How'd he run in
California? 2"
When the speaker announced that he
was about to conclude he was cheered,
and he retorted that he understood the
IN
listen to anything good about his can
didate.
When the speech was over the
Hoover enthusiasts In the galleries
arose and began new demonstration,
but virtually all the delegates re-
mained quietly in their seats.
After three minutes Senator Smoot
raped for order, but didn't get it. The
Hoover people in the galleries seemed
only amused at the figure of tho big
Utah Senator pounding with all his
might on the chairman's table. Every
time the gavel came down they in
creased the volume Of their cheering
and Senator Smoot appealed to the SER
geant-at-arms to restore quiet.
Many of the delegates tried to help
the chairman by shouting at the gal
lerics to keep quiet, and as the noise
kept up there were some Kisses from
the convention floor. A few of the
delegates joined in the applause, but by
far the great bulk was in the galleries.
When the cheering showed no abate-
ment at the end of six minutes Senator
Smoot told Hugh T. Brown, of Tonopah,
New, to 90 ahead with his speech sec
onding Mr.. Hoover's nomination. But
Mr.. Browns appearance only increased
the determination Of the Hooverites to
have their demonstration out, and they
kept up 80 great a din while he spoke
that hardly man in the whole con-
vcntion understood him. Nobody could
tell for whom he was speaking.
Those who had seen many political
conventions said they never before wit
messed scene parallcling that pre-
