 As the day drew on it was an open question whether they were listening to nominating speeches or bedtime sto- ries. Charles M. Hays of Missouri pre- sented Mir. McAdoo "as the Paul Revere you are looking for"
 This went good but he resumed talk ing. The delegates offered even money that he was about to offer them a horse, too. F.,
 Altogether more men were suggested as fit to be President of the United States in the democratic than it had been supposed existed in both parties
 It was a regular six-day gas-cycle race.
 Chairman Walsh cast off his funeral clothes today and opened the convention in white flannels. This is taken as an indication he is through with the oil situation.
 All of the good old campaign speech words were dragged out. Worthy son of a worthy sire" beyond peradven. ture of doubt" gentle zephyrs of the golden vest" "that great sovereign state of" than whom there is nc nobler son." etc..
 All in all the delegates are showing wonderful endurance. No matter what condition the country may be in no fault can be found with theirs,

 His inauguration as president, would make the beginning of new era of good feeling and practical accomplish ment between the President and the Congress of the United States
 Mir. Roosevelt said if Governor Smith was. given an opportunity for wider service "he will make the dry. bones rattle in Washington, and no longer will cynics and pessimists point the finger of scorn at our executive ma chinery."
 The speaker referred again to the ," complete lack of leadership of those now in power" and continued
 To Regain Lost Faith
 we need q president, one in whom the masses of the people, the great cross-section of American public Opin- ion will regain their lost faith. We need as president not a man who will satisfy some one section or some one class; the question of labor and cap ital; the farmer and city dweller; the manufacturer and consumer; the rich and poor have become so complex in our national life that problems have arisen acute beyond the dreams of our forefatherA and call for the steady guild ing hand of one whose voice will be needed by the vast majority of those who make up the 110,OO0,000 of our population.
 Confidence and faith such as this has been won by the governor of this state.a The Nmasses of labor look to him as q protector and good friend. The honest business man knows that he has never sought personal prefer ment by demRgogic attack on honest business. The farmers who in this state raise crops valued at hundreds of millions of dollars bear willing tes- timony to his years of service in their behalf aiding them to better living con- ditions and a more economic distribu- tion of the produce of the farm.
 Most Dangerous Adversary
 %With him we can win. This goVer- nor of ours is the most dangerous ad- versary that the republican party ever had to fear and you in convention here assembled owe 1t to the nation to se- lect a man whose name spells victory. He has been. elected to office IT times. This is evidence of his ability to com mand the confidence of the great elec- torate.
 Much of the romance of Lincoln is in the life story of our governor. Born of American-born parents he took upon himself while still boy the respon- sibiIity for the support of his family. A wage earner, toiling with his hands, this man in the space of 20 years with out fortune, without fortuitons aid with nothing to rely upon except his own indominabIe courage, his own perse- verahce; his own magnificent ability, he is the outstanding figure in the life of the nation.

SENATE CAREER
 OF UNDERWOOD NEARING END
Friends Do Not Expect Alabamian To Offer
 Again sl,z
(staff Correspondent

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 26.--1rEespective of the result of this convention, the senti- ment among Alabamians here is that Senator Underwood will not offer again for the Senate. . e.
 The same sentiment prevails in Ala bama, according to some of the dele gates. Neither in Washington nor New York has the senator given any indi- cation of his intentions.
 The general conviction is based on the fact that the senator has been in Congress for approximately 30 years, and as he has acquired the leadership of both houses, and written one of the greatest tariff acts in the history of American legislation, which bears his name, there are few other congressional honors for which he could aspire.
 Should Underwood be nominated, it is believed that Governor Brandon would resign and be appointed to the Senate by his successor, Lieut. Gov. c. s. Mcdowell. If he is not nomi- mated and doesn't run again, former Gov. Thomas B. Kilby, Congressman w. B. Oliver and John H. 3ankhead are discussed as probable candidates. How ever, it is not believed by Alabamians here that Mir. Oliver would offer in case Mir. Kilby enters the race.

 The Smith forces kept their main demonstration going for. few minutes longer than the McAdoo show of the previous day.
 All day long there was the charge and counter charge of the Smith and Me Adoo rooters. McAdoo managers, hay ing shot their main bolt Wednesday when McAdoo was placed in nomina- tion, cleyerly kept him. before the con vention despite the big Smith celebra- tion by means of seconding speeches scattered through the days proceedings.
 Every little while a McAdoo second ing speech would be made, giving the McAdoo crowd an opportunity to send up few yells. But there was no at tempt at staged McAdoo demonstra-i tion, only simple lung power being em- ployed. After the big Smith splurge, the Smith managers adopted the same strategy and often there would be a Smith seconding speech and then Me Adoo seconding speech, So that the whole day was given over to a i1oise-making contest with the Smith crowd winning out by half dozen fire department sirens and one roll call on adjourn ment.
 Press For Recess
 McAdoo people suggested recess over the dinner hour and a. night ses- sion beginning at 7:30 o'clock, at which | the remaining candidates would be placed in nomination. .. ers ,AFo A 1or, or,,-,;lI-uuJouhtadIx, boun a, s,srad lead on the first two. ballots and his managers were extremely anxious to start this balloting immediately on the heels of the big Smith party in order to impress the convention with the strength of the California candidate.
 Norman Mack, one of Smiths man. agers, and George Brennan of Illinois, said they would never stand for this. An effort was made to reach a solu- tion behind the scenes and avoid show down on the floor, but both sides were adamant and the only way out was to fight it through in the convention.
 Accordingly, after Senator Ferris had been placed in nomination, Kremer moved to adjourn until 80 D. m., and the Smith Brennan forces moved to amend this by changing the hour until 10 80 Friday. The bitter feeling be- tween the two factions was evident many times while the roll was being called on this question.
 Repeatedly after the vote of state was announced, the opposition side would, challenge it, precipitating wran- gle and sometimes q poll of the indi- vidual delegates. There, was a great din and yelling all the while and Chair man Walsh, although he scowled and pounded necessarily, was unable to pre- serve much semblanee of, order.
 When the vote was announced and it was apparent that McAdoo mana gers had lost their first skirmish on the floor, the Tammany gallery bri- Eades set up a final yell and then piled out of the old Garden in search of hot dogs, near-beer, or something better,

 JOINS PARADE FOR THEIR AL
But, Unlike The Tiger, She Keeps Her
 Hat On

(Copyright, 1924, for The Age. Herald)
 NEW. YORK, June 26.-Mrs. Tam. many has left the. kids to keep the home fires burning, and joined her man in this business of practical po- litics.
 Delegates to the democratic conven- ton saw Tammany whooping and hop hing and sweating with his collar off. They saw Mrs. Tammany, too, right there beside him, singing and skipping. But the better half kept her. hat on and her nose powdered.
 Woman Takes GaveI
 Before the monster Smith denonstra- tion, the gayel was handed over to one of the newer Tammany bosses Miss Mae Kennedy of the Bronx, vice chairman of tile convention. Miss, Kennedy trembled with excitement as she stood before the cheering thousands, a woman filling the executive chair for the first tine in the history of any major partysp
 A beaming typical example of wom- m ward boss is Miss Kennedy who has plain Irish features, winning, good humored smile, and an engaging air of liking all folks. This woman, under
 
 Sheriff Ed Film, one of the prom inent, figures of the wigwam. She was selected for vice chairman at the sug- gestion of Senator Copeland of New York.
 You could tell she was a boss, if a. boss is a person who knows ev- erybody and her baby. During the hila- rious parade of the Smith rooters, near 4y everyone who passed the platform shouted to Roosevelt and called n Hello. Mae' Women blew kisses, and the youngsters waved their hands and shrieked "Hey, Mae" and she in turn threw roses and sprays to all ; her neighborss until her big bouquet was all gone.
 Are Like That
 The Tammany women are like that. Miss Elizabeth Marbury, committee woman from New York state, and the 3 greatest of the Tammany women, de- scribed them: They're great;, they're practical politicians. They're no window decorators. They know what's what"
 Certainly they are beloved, Mae" reused enthusiasm in her delegation, while the sentiment chiefly reused by the leader of the McAdoo women, the beautiful Mrs. Roy Spring of South Carolina was admiration. Mrs. Spring was better dressed than Mae and her soft southern accents bore every evil dence of culture, but all the kids in ] the bronx will bet on Mae.
 Other women who pushed or showed their tuneful way around the hall were like Mae. They have lived around this political business too long to have many illusions about it. But they will stand by Al until the last vote is cast. Their clothes are smart; many of them have beautiful jewels. Differing from the McAdoo women folk, they kept a dull finish on their titled noses while their eyes sparkled and their arms waved, and their toes kept time to the in- Seyitable least side, west side" They lacked the distinction of the women who took part in the McAdoo; demon etration, but they sang and whiktlet. and stamped :the floor with a personal love for Al.
