members joining in the singing. OF
fici;l photographs of the eohven-
sion were taken rs usual, supple
mented by motion pictures of the
principals.
George b. Lockwood, secretary
of the national committee, then
read the official convention call,
The first order of business iollow-
ed in the election of Representative
Burton as temporary chairman of
the convention. Loud cheering and
applause greeted the selection.
Chairman Adams announced Sen
ator Peter b. Norbeck of North Da
kota, A. p. ROBBERS of Michigan
both outspoken Progressivcs--and
Mrs. Anna l.. Carlisle of South
Bend, Ind, as the committee TO es~
cort Burton to the platform.
Before turning over the gavel,
Chairman Adams spoke briefly.
Burton Warmly Welcome
When Burton took the platform
he received Il warm welcome. His
speech delivered in !. clear, strong
voice, extraordinary for Il man of
his years, was listened to attcntive-
ly.
For the most part he adhered to
the text he had prepared in ad-
vance. During his discussion, how
ever, of the farm relief proposals
that have been laid before con
gress, he digressed from his manus-
Grip as if to emphasize the i'm
portance of this problem.
''For the last month, he said,
81 have been studying various
proposal which have been made and
| must confess my disappointment
in every one of the plans which
have been suggested.
81 trust there ,lnay be one IN the
future.
The first outburst of cheering
during the keynote speech when
Burton, with reference presumably
to prohibition, declared:
1.-THE Republican party stands
now is always, firmly for law en-
forcement.
Sharp applause grew in 4 general
wave of handclapping.
In the later portion of his ad-
dress, during which Mr.. Burton dc
voted himself to discussion # leg
islation enacted or contemplated
along controversial lines, the audi
ence frequently broke into ap-
plause.
Again, in discussing the recent
scandal probes, he brought frequent
cheers for his attack ON scandal
mongering.
The scene outside the convention
hall was far more impressive than
that inside. Several hundred per-
sons were gathered in the public
square and about the public hall,
where they could hear all proceed
ings of the convention through am
phfiers.
Temporary Officers Named
Prolonged applause followed the
conclusion of Burton s address. He
had talked forcefully and clearly
for more than an hour and a half.
The convention then proceeded
with the business of the day. Chair
man Adams of the Republican ma
tional committee submitted the
committee s recommendation for
temporary Officers of the 'conven-
ton, the list being adopted.
Lafayette b. Gleason was elected
secretary and c. VI. Harger, assist
ant secretary.
Colonel 4. B. Thayer, Indiana,
was elected sergeant at arms and

Worthy and small daughter Janette
accompanied Mr.. Worthy, the other
two children having been taken up

fine notwithstanding the fact that
severe desert wind storm was en-
countered on the way up. Between
Indio and Banning it took four
hours to make the 42-mile trip and
the Windshield and top were con-
siderably the worse for the expert
