No Great Enthusiasm
Among the delegates in general The
choice was received with little indica
lions Of ENTHUSIASM. OBe of them, a
large. red headed gentleman from the
Bronx, observed, as he walked out into
the air:
"well, Miller amt made such a rot
ten Governor. Two years more of him
amt going to hurt as none"
Smiths nomination was unanimous
although the roll was called. The an
nouncement of the vote evoked COM
paratively little enthusiasm.
While the delegation chairmen were
droning the announcement OF the vote
Smith reclined at ease on cot in his
room in the Onondaga. He was alone.
The announcement Of his nomination
he received with smile, but made no
comments.
cpl say what needs to be said on
the stump he said to Tribune man.
When II was all over and the crowd came
down from the convention hall his
room was besieged. The Ex-Governor
saw ali visitors, but had little to say.
His health has been far from good
Of late, and apparently he was re-
leved when at midnight the last con-
gratulatcrs withdrew and permitted
him to get little sleep. The nominee
has no illusions as to the battle be-
fore him. He knows we'll that in Gov
ernor Miller he has a formidable OPP
ponent, and that even with the solid
Democracy behind him the fight of his
life is before him.
Smith was placed in nomination at
5:3t o'clock by William I. Byrne, of
Albany. in the following speech
In the city of Albany Al Smith is
so beloved, so admired, so fondly
irrespective of party affiliations, that
on elction day he carried our city by
a majority unheard of in its political
history. And, so, we OF Albany county
are inspired by this wonderful oppor-
tunity to place our county high upon
the list Of Democratic counties in our
state and this can best be done by
giving us the assistance, which his
record and name will inspire, and we
prophetically feel that, AS our county
is first alphabetically so shall it be
first numerically among all counties
above the Bronx on election day with
Democratic MAJ jority
My friends, what a glorious oppor-
tunity we have tonight to mark high
on the scroll of history our recogni-
ton OF worth and manhood in the
name of one who deserves it because
Of his sterling qualities as a Demoi-
crat as father, as husband and
as an American.
