! credentials committee, a place of
first Importance since this group
passed on all seating contests.
Then while in a hall a few feet
away a group of women was max
ing a plea for equal rights for
women before the platform COM
nittee, the credentials committee
did the unprecedented thing of
making Mrs. Willebrandt its chair
man. She presided over that trou-
bled and technical matter in a way
to win approval from all factions.
When she first stepped on the
platform in the tailored dark grey
suit of the sort she always wears
for business, a modest figure, not
mannish, not too feminine, the
crowd liked her and cheered.
Her second appearance on the
platform was even more impressive.
She read the report of the creden-
tials committee, and after the rump
delegation from Texas disputed its
decision she defended 1t ably and
was sustaied by the convention.
Her prominence here has caused
published speculation as to whether
she will become the first woman
Cabinet member in the United
States by appointment as attorney
general.

KANSAS CITY, June 15.-Aftel
casting one perfunctory ballot fol
Senator James E. Watson for G.. o
P. presidential nomination before
the Hoover landslide, the Indiana
delegation was making preparations
today to start home by special train
The delegates had little interest in
the vice presidential melee today.
Watson picked up several COM
plimentary votes in the balloting
Watson'S total was as, the II gut
side of Indianas SO being cast 4
from Illinois, 3 from Missouri, one
from Montana, and 2 each from
South Dakota and Utah.
Representative Will r. Wood, who
nominated Watson, remarked that
he had changed his address "due to
changed conditions since 1 prepared
it," He received little applause and
hurried through, seemingly anxious
to end his ordeal before an
inattentive convention. There was
no seconding speech for Watson.
Hoover leaders called up Senator
Watson late yesterday to ask VINO
would be acceptable to him for vice
president. Watson named Senator
Goff of West Virginia. or Albert H
Vestal, Indiana congressman, who
is Republican whip of the House.
The Indiana delegation sat stolidly
through the Commute demonstra-
ton which greeted first mention OF
Hoover's name last night, except
for one or two Of the Hoosier Hoov-
critics, who have been chatting under
their Watson instructions.
They later uttered a yell, and then
thought better of 1t. The Illinois
and Indiana delegations, seated to-
gether, formed a solid block Of sullen
faces amid the general jubilation.
Woods speech attracted little at
tentior. He was not in good voice
and a steady hum Of talk and move
ment throughout the hall drowned
him out for most of the audiense,
although the radio audience may
have heard him.
When Wood ended and mentioned
the name of Watson, there was some
cheering. Members of the Hoosier
delegation stood in their places
yelled and swung rattles for perhaps
thirty seconds and then sat down
No attempt was made to start a
parade.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Her-

ployes at the Commerce Depart
ment today on his first appearance
in public since tbs Kansas city
convention acted.
Hoover sent a telegram to the
convention which will be read to
delegates by Senator George Moses,
chairman, when the meeting con-
venes today. The message, which
thanks the convention for the
honor given Hoover, was not made
public here.
Persons close to the secretary
said he did not plan to resign i'm

had made no definite plans for the
immediate future.

HOOVER Wins
OVER SEVERE
ENEMY ATTACK
Strength Shown in Breaking
Through First Barrier
to White House.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

CONVENTION HALL, Kansas
City, June 15.-Herbert Hoover has
broken through the first of the two
big barriers across his path to the
White House. The second one will
be reached next November-when
for the first time in his life he will
be voted upon in an election.
This is the first time Hoover, a
lifelong engineer and business man,
ever has run for public Office, and
the experience has been more har-
rowing one than befallS most candi-
dates, as Hoover is a shy, extremely
sensitive man.
Long before Hoover last Febru-
airy agreed to become a candidate,
his enemies in and out of the party
had been conducting determined
propaganda against him in the hope
of making his nomination impoS-
Sible.
Attacks Unequalled
The personal attacks against him
went beyond any of those seen in
the open by this generation. 1t is
necessary to go back to Blaine to
find their equal.
Hoover himself refused to strike
back. no matter what the nature of
the attacks. He made only two i'm
portant statements in the campaign
for the nomination. February II he
announced his willingness to be a
candidate in a letter to Thad H.
Brown, of Ohio.
In that letter Hoover said:
IT should consider it my duty TO
carry forward the principles of the
Republican party and the great OBJ
jectives of President Coolidge's pol
icies."
This made him the logical admin
istration heir and that fact that all
Other candidates opposing him were
grouped against the administration
on the all-important farm issue
was one of the biggest factors in
making Hoover's nomination inev-
liable.
Firm for Prohibition
Hoover's second important utter
ance was on prohibition. Answer
ing a QUESTIONABLE by Senator b.
rah, he said:
"I do not favor the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment. I stand,
of course, for the efficient, vigorous
and sincere enforcement of the laws
enacted Hereunder. Our country
has deliberately undertaken a great
social and economic experiment.
noble in motive and far reaching
in purpose. 1t must be worked out
constructively."
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-06-15

Alas, was bit crestfallen, as
I hoped it might be the head
quarters of the Alaska delegation,
whom had ordered the cracked
ice to remind them of home and
ward off loneliness. Yes, ahem.
My lameness, as 1 started to
say, upon being interrupted by the
dealer, was caused by marching
all day and evening with the agri-
cultural forces yesterday. I have
joined forces with the farmer,
egad. Being a gentleman farmer,

ing hands with q pump handle.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-06-15

The guests nerves were on edge.
Women giggled nervously as the
convention proceedings came over
the air.
When the crucial moment arrived
and balloting started, the visitors
applauded vigorously every time
votes we're cast for Hoover.
Hoover Is Embarrassed
The Secretary was embarrassed
by this demonstration and was en-
deavoring to remain calm.
A bat-bird of i'll omen to the
superstitious-flew in the window
of the living room. Guests laughed
and buffers were called to chase
the pest.
Then the vote went past the
necessary majority. A cheer came
from his friends. They rushed into
the library to congratulate Hoover.
Hoover, usually sedate and calm
Quaker, came out in a few minutes
to say, Il have no statement to
make at present"
About 100 neighbors appeared
outside his residence on S ST., but
Hoover did not appear on the front
steps. He appeared fatigued and
anxious to retire. Ten O'Clock is
the usual bedtime at the Hoover
home. and it was past midnight.
Follows Usual Routine
The Republican nominee plans to
follow his usual routine of arising
and retiring early. He will con-
tinue as Secretary of Commerce
until the work of his department
is in shape to turn the executive
bureau over to a successor.
Friends said Hoover probably
would continue his present post for
some time and that no formal
statement Of acceptance or COM
ment on the nomination would be
made before he formally is noti-
fled of the selection by a committee
in August, probably at his Palo
Alto, Cal, home.
Today he was interested in the
selection of a running mate, in
which he has maintained a hands
off" attitude, and planned to tune
in his Office radio into the conven-
ton proceedings to follow the
events.
Hoover is expected to take short
vacation on the Pacific coast this
summer before he enters the CAM
paign.
Present plans for the nominee call
for him to make only q few set
speeches during the campaign.
Hoover is not an old-fashioned
stump speaker, but business man
who usually talks on technical sub
iects.
