And in weather like this, when delegate assumes that position, key noter is going good.
 The great audience certainly stood Pat. Hit 'em again, Pat!" was the cry that rang out again and again and Hit lem again" seems to be the slo- gan of the party this year. Hit 'enl Pat did. He boiled the Republican party in oil, and the delegates, cooking in their own fat, seemed to enjoy it.
 This convention is to be no cold storage affair."" said the keynoter, ''it will be red hot, well seasoned and highly prepared" and he proved him. self for accuracy.
 Once during his address the Senator declared that the country was calling for a new Paul Revere, several dark horses arose in a body and asked to be saddled at once. There were no takers.
 Nothing was said about the Ku Klux klan. During the Star Spangled Ban- ner, several candidates who have had the klan in their minds, sang it, "Oh say Klan you see," but it was unin- tentional.
 The klan, in fact, had its best day so far, every delegate had to admit that the organization has the right idea in mems summer clothing, loose, light and little.
 No speaker came out for beer, but several thousand spectators went out for some immediately after the ad. journment.
 William Jennings Bryan entered ear. ly and sat with the Florida delegation He carried his own static.
 Portraits of Cleveland and other Democratic presidents were draped about the garden in oil. None of this years candidates appeared that way for plenty of good reasons.
 The aisles were checked at 12 80 and filled with delegates who looked as if they'd like to be.
 Cardinal Hayes delivered the invo. cdtlon. It seemed IuL day shorter than any prayer delivered at Cleve. land. This despite the belief that the Democrats need a lot of praying for this year.
 When Pat Harrison finished his key. note speech; the convention rules were read. There was no bid for the nov. ing picture rights.
 All in all, it was hot old time. The prediction for Wednesday is fair an6 hotter. If this threat is carried out the Democrats may be compelled tc ask Coolidge to come to the garden and pass through just to cool things off.

 Wilson Letter Read Hamilton Holt, urging a prologue plank, read a letter to him from Mir. Wilson, in which the late President expressed the wish that the league would be made the dominant issue of the 1924 campaign. Miss Sarah Wambach and Mrs. Percy Peeny- packer spoke for the league in behalf of women's organizations. They were followed by Judge John w.

 He drew cheers from the prologue group when he asked Will you laud Wilson in one breath an damn him in another" And declared the demo- cratic party had an opportunity never presented it before in coming out for the league. Repudiation of Wilson and the league, he said, would mean defeat.
 With a number of other questions to be considered in the hearings, the prosp- ects were that the committees session would continue throughout the night.

 Democrats Over Radio

NEW YORK, June 24. (By Staff Correspondent Congressman Lister Hill, of the second district of Ala bama, and a delegate to the convention, was complimented today by Cordel Hull, Craiman of the Democratic Ma tional Committee, by the request that the young Alabamian under the aus pices of the national committee address the democracy of the United States tomorrow night, over the radio.
 Mir. Hill was congratulated by his fellow delegates over the honor he has acquired for himself, the delegation and the state.
 His speech will be a short history of the legislative conduct of Democrats, and Republicans, when in power. He will go deeply into the scandals of the Harding Coolidge regime, and will de- clare that whereas following the war, the Republicans raised 80 committees to investigate the conduct of the war by a Democratic president, and congress Ho evidence of graft or any other was discovered. / f MT. Hill will inform the distressed wheat producers of the west, that for much of their embarrassment, the Re publican tariff is responsible.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Souvenirs for friends are being distributed by the principal campaign headquarters. Ra- zors wait at the offices of Governor Alfred E. Smith and by mistake one was put in his hands by an enthusi- astic booster. A friend of the candi- date said:
