Win with Reed" The official convention band play

Win with Reed"
 The official convention band play ed the Missouri waltz.
 The standard of Oklahoma. whose delegates had decided to so to Reed after wavering for a time between him and Smith, joined that of Missouri in the line of parade Florida. who will support Senator George but many of whose dele gates look on Reed as their second choice. likewise let their placard go into the procession. An extra bit of cheering developed when some of the Reed supporters raised a banner saying Turn the rascals out" The secondary standard of Nebraska, pledged to former Senator Hitchcock was brought from the alternate sec ton in the rear of the hall and car ried into the parade. It was follow ed by the standard Of the little group of delegates from the Philip pine Islands. all of whom are counted safely for Smith
 The Kansas standard likewise got into the parade but not until 1t had been battered badly in a wrestling match among the Kansas delegate who are pledged to Representative Ayres- The shirmish took place tn the Kansas alternate section, in the rear and was quilted after several of- flcers appeared on the scene. Final ly. Ed Hawes, an alternate. captured yno rf >S Ie bearing the name of the state. and took it along in the shouting stream that was paying a tribute to a can dldate who had kept his word to stand by his guns until the end
 1t developed that both the Ne hraska and Philippine standards had been captured by Reed enthusiasts as they marched by. Mir. Otto j., Eauman, of Omaha. wife of a dele gate. sought out two policemen and with their aid retrieved the Nebras- ka sign post which was put back in its place. Eddie Tait of Manila re- captured the Philippine banner without much trouble anc it went back to its home station.
 The Reed parade vas not SO strong Tn numbers perhaps, but it had noise to spare, including the everlasting chatter of the coubells. It also had the aid of all three bands and the hedlam was terrific.
 Tn and over ln the north hleach- CTS started a dance of its own, al fernate lines of puff-cheeked horn players swaylns from right 70 left Tn walt. rhythm It looked very good. but nobody possihl, could tell was the tune was. There was too much noise.
 Twenty minutes after the Reed demonstration started, and when the tired voices Of the sueatln,. steam ing Reed boosters were ~innins to fall, Senator Robinson reached for his gavel and let so mighty bang for order. The bands signed of promptly but the Reed folks on the floor kept going just the same. The covbells never stopped.
 Robinson waited a while, then be- gan shouting for order with no evil dence that anybody heard him.
New Britain herald., 1928-06-28

Convention officials and Houston cops succeeded in getting the main floor section quiet but the Reed paraders just moved back into the alternates' suburban section and went on until Robinson ordered the roll call of states to go ahead. He recognized Eugene D. O'Sulllvan of Omaha, Nebraska. to place former Senator Gilbert Hitchcock of that state in nomination for the presi- denCy.
 It was not until O'Sulllvan actu- ally got going that the Reed noise subsided entirely. OSullivan's im- mediate naming of the Nebraska favorite son brought a round of shouts and handclapping that last ed but d moment, O'Sullivan plowed ahead with his speech while the big hall hummed and buzzed with thousand different conversa tlons that all but drowned his voice.
 It was clear that the convention as whole was growing tired of the nassed oratory to which it was sub Jected all last night and today There were columns of folks Com- ing and going in the aisles and con- versatlon reached almost roar pro- portions.

TICKET SEEMS TO
 HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
(Continued from First Page)

There still was lingering possi- bllity of . floor fight over the plat form but most of the leaders were confident none would develop. The oratorical part of the days pro- gram. consisting of putting the names of . half dozen tavorite sons formally in nomination was a somewhat tedious formality in the sweltering heat of the big conven- tlon hall. Everybody conceded that the men for whom the speeches were made had no remaining chance of nomination. but the dele gates and convention officials were willing to let them have their hour of, glory and joined good naturedly. for tho most part, in the applause that greeted all of them.
 Start At 10:s5 A. NJ.
 The session began at 1o:35 q. .rn.. i've minutes after the hour set Senator Robinson. the permane mt chairman and leading candidate for tho vice presidency apparently was anxlous to get on with the conven- ton business. When he called for order only about half the delegates had arrived and there still were great blank spaces in the spectators bleachers along the sides and rear of the hall. There was so much con- fusion with late arrivals struggling in by the hundreds that even re- peated orders by the chair to the serEeant-at-arms failed for time to get the delegates into their seat. and quiet.
 Tho chairman did not wait for or der. but while the hall still uas rumblinE with talk he presented the Rev A. Frank Smith of the First Methodist church of Houston who pronounced the Invocation The crowd stood and grew more silent
 Ritchie Talks
 Governor Albert ( Fitchie of Maryland. his states favorite son, who withdrew in favor of Smith. made the first speech of the day, eecondirg the nomination Of the New Yorker. He was given fine ovation, as he mounted the platform Many of the delegates stood and cheered as two conventic, bands joined in Maryland. My MSyland

 Praises Smith
 Governor Smith possess all those qualities. He is living proof that American democracy can produce leaders simple and yet great. I be. lleve that if every voter in the land could see him and hear him. and come under the spell of his person. allty, there would be few who would not vote for him. This will be no less true in the north and east and west, than in the south. where the spirit of democracs has never wav- cred and whose sons and daughters have never faltered in their allegi- ance to the democratic party"
 Peters Seconds Smith
 Another seconding speech for smith was made by former Mayor Andrew J. Peters of Boston. who said the whole background of the New York governor was truly American"
 "1 deem it a duty to renew the faith of the Pilgrims" MT. Peters said, T know no better way to re- new that faith than to rejoice in the fact that American conditions can make possible such a career as that of Alfred E. Smith and to recos- nlzo that he represents in himself the best proof of American de mocracy, and the best promise for the future"
 Mississippi Passes
 Mississippi passed on the roll cal Of the states without putting for mally into nomination her favorlte son, Senator Pat Harrison. who is to receive a eonpllme entary ballot
 When the clerk then called the name of Missouri the "Jim" Reed delegates of that state stood up and cheered. They raised a picture of their candidate at the end of a long pole and llggled cowbells and waved small flags to emphasize 10 the con- vention that they were standing pat despite the majority against them. iAait''dH !i' il'A c'1l llltlN anu tllt Florida state standard was linsled up and down as the demonstration continued for 2 space of two or three minutes Then Charles M Howell of Kansas City took the plat form and presented the name Of James 4. Reed for the presidency
 Disorder Great
 The disorder became so great that Chairman Robinson interrupted the speech to plead with the delegates 70 be quiet. But moment later the hall again uas SO noisy that when Howell said that Reed always had preached against religious intoler- ance ln its hroadest sense" the men tion of the religious issue passed unnotieed and got no response even from the Missouri covbells.
 Bells Peal Out
 But the bells pealed out again with the concluding words of the nominating speech, and the cheering Missouri delegates started q parade around the hall. They carried lith- ographs of their candidate and a big banner reading:

 For some time representatives of the company have been making the necessary wiring readjustments aud the change will be effective tomor- row with the winter directory which is being delivered today.
 semi-selective ringing necessitates a change from the ring number. as for example, 1234-2, to letter suf- fix such as 1234-M. In this ex- change. as in the few others in this state where the new ringing plan on party lines has been put in serv- ice, the letters w. J. R and M will be used instead of the now familiar ring number. In placing . party line call subscribers will, Of course, give the operator the number and the letter suffix.
 The desirable feature of semi selective ringing. from the subscrib- CTS viewpoint. is that he will hear but one ring other than his own. For example, the subscribers assigned either the letter M or will hear the ring one and two. but subscribers assigned R and W will not hear that ring. They will hear one and two only when a call is placed for eith- CT R or w. Call numbers have been from two to five inclusive on four party lines.
 Beginning with the directory change the W and subscribers will answer on ring one and the NJ and R subscribers will answer ring two.

GANG Gift TO
PHILLIPS SAFETY
HEAD PROBED
Enjoyed Yule Turkey Sent
:. by Boo Boo and Boys
Evidence Shows.

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-The
fact that George w. Elliott, former
director of public safety, received a
gift turkey from Max (Boo BOOB
F1of land the boys" has provided
the latest sensation in Philadelphia's
drive to rid the city of bootlegging
and alleged police corruption.
: .Elliott's post made him head of
the police force under the admin
fstration of. F'reelapd Kendrick,
former mayor. District Attorney John
Monaghan subpoenaed Elliott, hop
ing to get evidence of police COR
ruption, but after the former direc-
tor of public safety had been ques-
tloned, Monaghan refused to reveal
what had taken place in the secret
session.
The discovery that Hoff, who is
Teputed to be the head of the $10,-
100000 alcohol ring here, had been
sending Christmas turkeys to police
officials for several years forged a
new link in the chain of evidence
which Monaghan says will prove
there is an: ';unho1y alliance" be-
tween police and bootleggers.
= Today it was rumored that many
,of the turkeys which Hoff sent out
were stuffed with wads of green
backs, although no direct evidence
has been adduced to prove that
the Christmas presents contained
money.
