ed up when Senator Fess touched him
on the shoulder and reminded him that
his time was about up.
Mrs. WiIIebrandt Recognized.
Mr.. Hasting finished his piece and
Mrs. Willebrandt was recognized. She
answered Mr. Hastings argument and
the lawyers among the delegates perked
up their ears and enjoyed the legal
controversy immensely. Other dele
gates began TO fidget. Mrs. Willebran6t
Is a Portia who knows her stun. She
was the real hit OF the morning session.
She was something different.
Senator FesS slowly approached Mrs.
Willebrandt and tried TO stop her by
mental suggestion. Mrs. Willcbrandt
stopped talking when she finished what
she said-and not before.
She was applauded roundly. ANOTHER
minority speaker was recognized and
to show signs Of getting bored. Repre-
sentative Fort of New Jersey closed the
argument-speaking for the majority.
When the speaking was over the
question was the adoption Of the
minority report. The nays had 1t ac-
cording TO Senator Fess. A roll call
wSs demanded Senator Fess ex-
planned that six delegates were re-
quired to second motion for a roll
call. They we're secured.
"NO" Voters Cheered.
The first roll began. The no" votes
were cheered. The AYE" votes were
received with shouts, for the minority
was louder than the majority. Such
lot Of laughter and cheering began
when a Georgian demanded a poll of
the delegation that Senator Fess had
to keep rapping for order and demand
ing there be none Of II. This was the
first talk Of excitement in the conven-
ton and the spectators we're tickled TO
death.
Hoover Forces Happy.
Georgias report had been clio. The
vote, though, made 1t 2-l4.
When Pennsylvania's big block Of
70 votes went no" there was a great
yell. The convention vote was 676iz
mo" and 395la YES" which made
the Hoover people tremendously happy.
Senator Fess then called Cor yes

The report was unanimously adopted.
That was that. and the convention
sat back and heard the secretary name
the list OF officers recommended by the
committee on permanent organization.
Senator Moses. permanent chairman.
was escorted To. the platform. Senator
Fess introduced him as "one Of the
best presiding officers have ever
known in the Senate"
When Senator Moses twisted the
Tammany Tigers tail toward the close
of his speech, the delegates yelled iii de-
light. When he cried. Bring him on
and we viii bury him." the delegates
began to shrek. and when the Senatcr
finished his hearers stood and ap-
plauded. and the bass drummer in the
band in the gallery beat a. tattoo. II
was the conventions big moment, so far.
Smell Reads Report.
The new chairman recognized Repre-
sentative Smell of New YORK, chairman
Of the committee on rules and other
business Of the convention. Mr.. Smell
took the platform, and Senato- Moses
sat down 70 catch his breath after his
big speech. He had become rather
hoarse yelling bring him on"
The report Of committee on rules and
order Of business was tiresome in the
extreme and the delegates began 70
wonder when they would eat. The report
was adopted.
The convention then quit tO meet
again at 7:30 o'clock this evening, when
