for Smith for Governor.
"The people have designated Gov
crnor Smith because he has been true
to his pledges" said Glynn.
If this conference declared against

Governor would be Alfred E. Smith"
Ex-Governor Glynn then said that
Governor Smith would not only carry
the entire state ticket to victory, but
would carry the state for Cox and
Roosevelt.
Ex-Governor Glynn attacked Nathan
l.. Miller as a lawyer who was paid by
the big interests to advise them how
TAR they could go without going to
jail. "And for this. said Mr.. Giynn,
the Republican nominee for Governor
gets twice as much q year as does the

Miss Mills on Platform
When Onondaga was reached Harriet
May Mills took the platform and said
her county would break all Democratic
records in it's vote for Smith next fall.
1--WE women want Alfred E. Smith
for Governor, because We want good
government" she said.
When Schenectady was reached
Mayor Lunn> said that without detract-
ing from Governor Smith, who is his
choice for Governor, he must, as a
matter of principle, decline to express
a preference for Governor.
There was no announcement of the
result of the roll call, and after it's
completion the convention adjourned
till $3.50 tomorrow morning.
After State Chairman Farley CALLED
the morning session to order, he intro
duced the Rev. G. T. Douglas, pastor
of the First Methodist Church CT Sara
toga, who offered prayer The Rev. Mr..
Douglas ended his petition with: "And
Democrat of Nazareth, Jesus, our
Lord" which caused the de1egaces to
applaud.
Then Frank H. Mott, of jamestown,
was duly confirmed as temporary
chairman of the convention, and Mrs.
John Blair, of New York, and George
Foster Peabody, of this city, escorted
the presiding officer to the platform.
Mr. Mott Immediately began mis- key
note speech and had his audience with
him from the start. He made his first
hit when he said that his selection
carried with it a recognition of the up

given to the nation such men as Van
Buren, Seymour, Tilden, Hill and
Cleveland. But he brought his audience
cheering wildly when he said:
1--WE have no apology to make for
the record of the Governor or the Lieu

In fact, every reference to Governor
Smith brought the audience to its feet.
The next name to cause the crowd to
applaud was that of Franklin D. Roose-
velt. The band in the gallery started
playing 1ammdny, Whlch brought
smiles from the men from New York
City, who knew Roosevelt chiefly as
consistent warrior on Tammany Hall.
The next name to be mentioned was
that of Governor Cox. Again the
spectators and the delegates set up
frenzied cheer and again the band
master gave his musicians the wrong

rambled, he rambled till the butcher
cut him down" Which amused the
crowd as they sang the wor0s.
Then President Wilson's name was
mentioned. 1t is not stretching the
truth to say that President Wilson is
anathema to Tammany. But Tam
, many as a unit rose to it's feet, the
rest of the hall following suit, and
cheered wildly for nearly two minutes.
The speech over, Chairman Mott de-
cided to hurry through the remainder
