Ten Put In Nomination.
Ten candidates had been placed
formally before the convention prior
to resumption of the roll call for
nominations today. and it had been
made known that the remaining
states had at least five more names
to offer, with seconding speeches also
in order The big, prearranged, deaf
ening demonstrations were over,
however. and todays session offered
in this respect sharp contrast and
measure OF rest

provision for ratification of the state
caucus selections for the new national
