Takes His Own Time

he found himself whipped as badly
as Reed.
Takes His Own Time
But Democratic conventions do
not impose time limits on Jim Reed.
He took forty-f1ve minutes. He
spent them in demonstrating that
he was a good sport, could take
beating with a smile, disliked Herb
Hoover with his same old fervor,
and could lash out in invective
against the Republicans with all his
old-time steam.
Smiling bit grinaly, his jaw set
in his characteristic bulldog
countenance. his gray hair tossed
back from his forehead, Reed &C.
knowledged he'd been beaten by a
good man.
Then ne proceeded to the an
nouncement that he would be with
Al Smith in the trenches, Staying
Republicans, right up until Novem-
Der.
1.-THE happy warrior" Franklin
Roosevelt called Smith when he
nominated him. 'The fallen war
rior" would be an apt literary term
for his beaten opponent. But if
Jim Reed has fallen, he still can
bounce up again.
Pledges Fight to End
"We've had contest which ought
to have lasted a little longer for
the comfort Of some Of us" he be-
gan good naturally.
He thanked his friends for their
support, he congratulated Al Smith,
and then
81 cal lon every Democrat in the
United States-and will call on
them until. the last vote is counted
on election day-(that started the
cheers to support the nominees Of
this convention and give protection
and defense to their country against
what I regard as the greatest menace
that has occurred in my lifetime"
He suppressed any doubt as to
paign.
Face UnScrupul0uS Foe
"Since I was 10 I have given my
time in every campaign to the
Democratic party. And my pencil
never has been run through a
Democrats name after he was
nominated" he shouted.
The Democrats now face COM
mon cause, Reed explained. They
are facing an enemy, entrenched,
INSCRIPTIONS. They must sink their
differences, drive out the Repub-
licans, he declared.
The big climax was reserved fol
Herbert Hoover.
"a man who undertakes to love
two countries is a traitor to both"
Reed shouted, and by this time he
was gritting his teeth.
If elected President, Herbert
Hoover would involve the United
States in the most dangerous OF
crises, he said.
Reed held the better part Of the
crowd when everyone was yearning
to go home. If Jim Reed has lost
his punch, he still has good inli-
tation.

Rabbi Eli Beckman Of Bethel
Temple, Houston, offered the in

The convention hall sounded like
a huge beehive during Judge Sol

next to impossible to hear him, even
with the loud speakers functioning.
The radio audience had probably
a better knowledge Of his talk than

Mrs. Smith Holds Reception
Mrs. Smith sat in the special

while the nominating speeches were

Robinson Of Arkansas for vice pres

Parade is Started
This started a parade around the
hall. State after State swung its
standard into line. The big Lone
Star State flag was cheered as it
came down the aisle followed by an
Iowa delegation, carrying some tall
Iowa corn-eight feet or more high.
Several bands joined in the noise
making, while delegates cheered
loudly. Only a few standards were
left in their places, and there ap-
peared to be no row about going in
or staying out, such as had occurred
the last two days.
Walsh Seconds Nomination
After a demonstration for Robin
son, Arkansas yielded to Senator
David Walsh of Massachusetts, who
seconded Robinson's nomination.

trolling factor in selecting men for
the highest honor of the party"
Walsh said.
"Let us right here and now
destroy the spirit Of sectionalisn
by destroying forever the idea that
the South shall not enjoy the
honors of our party"
Senator Walsh finished amid &
blare of bands playing "Dixie." A
basket of flowers was sent up for
Robinson. Miss Annette McKelvic,
11-year-old page from this city, was
selected to present them to the Ar
kansan later.

Mrs. T. S. Tolliver of Wyoming
