Hear Nominating Speeches

governor was called. The convention
then spent one hour and 45 mlnutes
In listening to the nominating and
seconding speeches, and 80 minutes IN
deciding whether or not to adjourn
before a vote vas taken. The size oil
the assembly and the need OF more 81
iess comforting among delegates made
the convention at moments seem un'
ruly. Judge Leahy's handllnG of the
situation was admirable throughout

never seen his work AZ n presiding Of
ficcr surpassed. No doubt u was for
tunate for tho republican organiza'
ton that the presiding officer was a
man knswn to be entirely friendly u
Larrazolo. Otherwise. there might
have come from some quarters the
cry that the bosses were killing Lar
~razolo's chances through the WORK
of the chair.
BernahIlo, first on the list, led Will
the nomination OF Tom Hughes, mad'
by Ncgtor Montoya. The band lee
