 ment of applause from the, floor and galleries.
 Marion o. Humphreys. Maryland. offered a resolution to limit seconding speeches for nomination of President to five minutes. The convention was not long in adopting that. With that the convention went to the calling of rthe roll for nominations for -President.S
 Alabama Yields l Alabama, the first state called, yield ed to Massachusetts and Governor Cox of Massachusetts, who moved that Dr. Marion Leroy Burton be accorded the privilege of placing in nomina tion "the candidate of Massachusetts" So as it turned out Dr. Burton spoke as rep resenting Massachusetts, the Presidents home, instead of Michigan, his own.
 Dr. Burton, tall striking figure step- ped briskly to-the front of the platform and calmly surveyed the great audi ence, waiting for the applause to die down so he could begin his speech.
 Fellow citizens of Amer a, the 1 greatest country the world has ever seen," he began, while the hall rocked with cheering. DR Burton spoke clear ly and rapidly. He spoke without manu- script, but followed his prepared ad- dress generally, shortening it here and i there but preserving the sense of the spech he had prepared and which un- doubtedly was approved by President Coolidge.
 T shall speak here as a personal friend of the President" he said, '.and l beg of you not to think of me as one engaged in political activity. I am merely the president of tax supported university.
 II shall not be discussing party poli- cies or platform,' said he. My em- phasis must be upon the man. My task is to tell you why the President should
 
 in nomination..
 Paradox Of Greatness"
 "I wish there were time for me to tell you some of the things I person. ally know about the President of the United States. He represents the par adox of greatness. This man is one of us and when it is said that he is rarely common, he is rarely uncommon, He represents all of those plain human virtues of American citizenship at it's best. To me the most distinctive thing about this man." continued Dr. Bur ton, lis his moral fibre. We could al- most leave the whole case there"
 Rapidly Dr. Burton sketched the Presidents boyhood and early life and there proceeded to answer the question ''1s he human being?"
 II assure you," said he, "he is, but he is not naturally hilarious"
 His mind had time to work because his tongue permits" said Dr. Burton.
 Here, then, is the man." said Dr. Burton as he finished a word picture of the President, lis the man we ave before us. Make no mistake, is the type of leader for which America is in dire need today"
 This man is an out and out Ma tionalist. He believes in the undimin- ished and untrammelled sovereignty O: the UniteI States of America. We have here not only a man with charac- ter we can tIusl. we have here q man who knows that law must be observed and one who in all respects and in all circustanceS will never suffer any di- intuition of American independence. He Is superbly, supremely American"
 Outburst Follows Sperch
 Dr. Burton's -peroration brought the convention to it's feet with m outburst of cheering and applause and 1he pro cession of delegation started around the floor with Ne. mont in the lead.
