The Cox and Pa n denosstra
tions We're fully expected ana look
ed for, but the McAdoo nomina-
ton, coming after days of uncer-
tainty as to whether a nominating
speech was to be made for him or
not. added an element of interest
and surprise. 1t was easily the
loudest longest and most tumult-
uous demonstration of the lot and
kept the convention in an uproar
for the best part of an hour,
DIR. Burris jenkins Of Kansas
City, who was ready to place the
former secretary of the treasury
yield TO the wishes of Mr., McAdoo
Iand not make nominating speech
for him. He simply explained the
situation to the convention in one
of the shortest speeches on record
and merely announced that he
p 'aced Mr. McAdoo IN nomination,
fully assured that if drafted for
the service of the nation" he would
not refuse the nomination.
When the roll of the states was
continued Minnesota was the first
to respond and she yielded to New
York to permit w. Bourke Cock
ran to place Governor Alfred f.
Smith in nomination. The veteran
New York orator got a rousing re-
ception as he mounted the speak
ers' stand.
Cochran Eulogizes Smith.
Eulogizing Governor Smith as
one whose life and character Of
fered 'in itself a perfect plat
form" Mr. Cochran said, I'VE
have a great leadership. One Of
the greatest the world has ever
known. The war was InGertaksn
to make the worla safe for de-
mocracy, and the result has been
to spread democracy throughout
the world Democracy means op-
portunity and equal opportunity
for all.
II nominate here today a man
who personifies democracy, a man
who has risen from a pedd!nr's
wagon to the governorship OF the
great state of New York, an1 he
has never lost a single ono II ihc
friends he has gained since his
youth. He is known to eve'y of''.
h.rh or low, as AL. Smith
President Wilson, the speaker
said, had been a great leader,
though he had held apart lin tho
eminence of greatness.
"But AL Smith, he continued,
"is the man who could lead us,
not far away but near at hand,
shoulder to shoulder with US,
along the paths of opportunity to
high ideals where Woodrow Will
son has pointed the way
Speech Makes Hit.
There was a lot Of old time
democratic oratory in the speech
and it made hit with the dele
gates and the galleries. Tneyi
kept answering his rounded peri
ods with prolonged applause and
when he said he was about to quit
there was a loud chorus of noes"
New York, Mr.. Cochran said, Of
fered her favorite son reluctantly
and II the party did not see fit to
choose him for the presidency,
his people at home would not
care to give him up to accept the
vice presidency.
''In that case" shouted the
speaker in conclusion, I'VE will
keep him as a candidate for gov
ernor to insure that New York
remains a democratic state"
The New York delegates led in
a brief demonstration after the
speech, while the band played
"Tammany, Tammany." New York
delegates stood on their chairs
and waved small American flags in
cadence with the band and then
there were three cheers for AL.
