HARMONY is KEYNOTE
AS DEMOCRATS CONVENE
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 25.-Har-
mony was the dominant note at the
formal opening of the Democratic
state convention today with Francis
e Cullen, of Oswego, the keynote
orator. Bitter battles of previous
conventions were conspicuous by
their absence and all was in readiness
to renominate Governor Smith and
other state officers without hitch.
After Mr.. Cullen's address and the
appointment of committees they
planned to recess until tomorrow,
when nominations will be made and
other business cleaned up.
The resolutions committee was to
meet late today to frame the party's
platform. Senator James J. Walker,
close friend of Governor Smith, was
understood to be the choice for chair
man of the platform committee.

Latest reports are to the effect
that the stages are being routed
