Lowden's name was the only one

Arkansas. There seemed to be no

the real thing and that included
twelve minutes for Hoover.
There was some picketing OF the
different speakers and much impa-
thence by the spectators in the gal
leries. Charles S. Wheeler had some
trouble in keeping the crowd in good
humor while discussing Hiram john
son. When he SAID something about
God ordaining a leader, a wag in the
gallery shouted Hearst" which

Massachusetts, was presented by
Speaker of the House of Representa-

KEEP THURSTON
DRIVE is BEGUN
Business Men Back Move to
Retain Ousted Head Of
Schools.

Washington business men are TAX
ing up the fight to retain Superin-
tendent of Schools Thurston. An
nouncement by the school board
Wednesday that he would not be
reappointed has created a stir in
both business and professional cir
cles.
Several business men are plan
ming a campaign to make Thurs
toms position safe. Personal inter-
views with members of the Board
of Education are contemplated but
it is unlikely that action will be
taken by local trade organizations
as units.
Col. Robert N. Harper. president
of the Chamber of Commerce said
last night:
Mr.. Thurston should be contin-
ued as superintendent of schools.
He has demonstrated his efficiency
and power for good, and is obvious
ly the man for the job"
Nine-Tenths Favor Thurston.
A. Z. Seymour. secretary of the
same organization. declared that
nine-tenths of the chambers MEM
bership favor Thurston.
Richard L. Conner. assistant sec
retary and chief clerk of the Board
of Trade, declared the board was
for Thurston "by an overwhelming
majority"
Capt. James F. Oyster. president
of the board, expressed his opinion
strongly favoring Thurston in his
testimony before the special Senate
committee which Investigated the
school situation.
DR.. Abram Simon, chairman of
the committee appointed to nomi-
nate a successor to Thurston. said
last night that residents OF other
cities as well as local prospects
were being considered for the job.
Fayors Public Campaign.
John Poole, president of the Fed
eral National Bank. yesterday pro-
posed an active public campaign to
retain Thurston.
Personal interviews with men,
bers of the school board to show
them the temper of the Washing
ton people possibly would be effec-
tive" Poole said.
The Washington Parent-Teachers
Association is planning drastic ac-
tion to defeat the decision of the
school board. 1t became known last
night. While officials of the asso-
citation would not divulge their
plans II was indicated public
drive to retain Thurston was be-

York. placed the name of HooYer
before the convention.
AS a matter of fact it fell to the
lot of Senator Smoot of Utah, as
temporary chairman, to start the
crowd, as his announcement that
Judge Miller would nominate the
former food director set off the
fireworks. 1t WAS the first spon-
taneous. honest-to-goodness out
burst of the day. Senator Smoot
pounded his gavel but the echoes
were lost in the bedlam of noises.
The audience finally calmed down,
only to burst out again at the con-
clusion of Judge Miller's ovation.
This time Smoot seemed peeved.
He pounded and shouted but all in
vain.
There was no organized effort but
as if by magic hundreds of Hoover
banners appeared. Unable to still
apparent unanimous roar from
floor and galleries Hugh Terry
Brown of Nevada, seconded the
nomination of Hoover in speech
which was not heard five feet

The bedlam was not stilled until

wanted to say something in favor
