ROGERS SCORES BIG HIT AS
CONVENTION HAS GOOD Time

| will be adopted this week and for
gotten next week"
He said he was going to be the
first speaker with good word to
say for the opposition.
But it's going to take me a long
time to think of something" he
said.
THE Republicans did the best
they could with what little they
had.
"I don't know who we are going
| to nominate here. I like all the
candidates. I hate to see these
I conventions, because someone has
to lose. I wish we could nominate
them in some way so they'd have
a week apiece"
He mentioned Roosevelt first.
The crowd cheered.
Don't mind the parade" Rogers
said.
"Al Smith, love-" he said while
the Smith delegates applauded.
Speaker Garner he described as
a Texas prairie dog whose home
he had visited and whom he liked.
There's Ritchie," he said, "a
big man from little state.
"Ritchie always has been stick
ler for state rights. You can wake
him up at any time of the night
and he'll start right in on state
rights.
They're all good. You can't
go wrong on any of them"
John Krouton of Yukon, Okla,
came before the platform and
waved an Oklahoma banner.
"Oh, yes, there's Bill Murray,
Rogers said.
Rogers pleaded for the delegates
to act harmoniously and don't go
home sore" he said
Tunney Backs Down
"I don't see how there could be
a weak enough man not to win
next November if he'll live that
| long"
He pleaded with the delegates
not to describe any candidate as
the weakest candidate"
Lets nominate Rogers someone
shouted.
, After Rogers had put the crowd
into Mysteries, Gene Tunney, the
former heavyweight champion, was
called to the platform by Eddie Dow
, ling. who had been installed as
master of ceremonies during a re-
cess in the official convention pro-
ceedings.
/ Tunney, however, was modest and
declined to appear on the plat
| form.
Bowling then spotted Clarence
Darrow. the famous attorney, in
the crowd.
"I wonder if one of the greatest
criminal lawyers in America won
stand up so we can all see him,
Bowling said.
The crowd gave Darrow a big
cheer.
Bowling as unofficial master OF
ceremonies was running the show
like one of the old-fashioned RoXie
radio concerts calling impromptu on
any talent he happened to see
around. 1t was a unique interlude
in the national convention when
for a time broke the anXieties and
strain of mutual rivalries for a
brief hour of fun.

By coup Waters once more be-

acclaimed as such by a majority

day, when ne stepped down the

The executive committee first
proposed permanent leaders and

ary commanders came and went in
swift succession. Dissension in
creased. Food shortage added to
the unrest. Waters feared his rivals
would try to control the army.
Waters went to the Anacostia
camp last evening. He implored
the veterans to re-establish unity
and discipline. Friendly delegates
from other camps were among the
crowd of 10000. AS he finished,

CONVENTION HEADQUARTERS,
CHICAGO, June 30. Outright
vets today captured control of the
Democratic platform committee
and in an amazing and unexpected
upset forced throughHHMHMIM
one vote, a repeal, beer and wine
rohibition plank. If the plank is
adopted by the Democratic conven-
ton the party will be committed
without qualification to immediate
repeal of the 18th amendment and
to amendment of the Volstead act
pending repeal.
First intimation of changing
sentiment of the committee came
in the vote on the So-called ma
jority plank which would have ad-
vocated repeal but not committed
the party to it. The committee
beat that, 35 to 18. The outright
wet plank went over on the next
roll call by 35 to II vote. Com
mitteemen came swarming out of
the hot room, their job done and
the platform approved and ready
for the convention. Senators Walsh,
of Massachusetts, and Bulkley;
Ohio, led the parade, grinning
broadly. None seemed downheart-
ed.
Prohibition was the last of the
planks considered and the plat
form writing job was ended after
a five-hour session.
The adopted plank boldly states
that I'VE favor repeal of the 18th
amendment" and continues with
strict states rights program and
for immediate amendment of the
Volstead act, The federal govern
ment would exercise its power to

CONVENTION STADIUM, CHI
CAGO, June 29.-The Democratic
conventions platform committee
became entangled today while at
tempting to write the party's dec
laration of principles as as a re-
suit the third session of the con-
vention had to be delayed until
7 p. m. tonight.
The delegates gathered at the
stadium, listened to the chaplain's
prayer, Will Rogers patter, Clarence
Darrow's plea for the unemployed
and numerous other impromptu fea-
lures. Then, at 2:20 p. m, the
leaders decided there was no more
use waiting, and recessed the meet
ing until 7 p. m.
The tariff, silver, finance and,
to a certain extent, prohibition
were the points on which the
platform committee encountered
trouble. Western states demanded
silver plank, which met strong
opposition in the committse.
Candidates and their lieutenants
took advantage of the occasion to
launch strong drives to win votes.
Ritchie and Roosevelt forces were
the most active.
James A. Farley, manager of the
Roosevelt campaign here, made
strong efforts to win Illinois votes.
Bruce Kremer, a Roosevelt leader,
told the Illinois delegation TOO had
been rounded up for Roosevelt on
the first ballot, with only 10 more
needed to win.
Governor Ritchie sat with the
Maryland delegation, shaking hands
and acknowledging cheer.

All, they was Democrats to-
day. and we was all proud of
EN-. They fought, they fit,
they split and adjourned in a
dandy wave of dissension.
That's the old Democratic spir-
it. A whole day wasted and
nothing done. I tell you they
are getting back to normal.
A whole day fighting over
what? A President? No. A
platform? No. Well, then,
what did they take up HOO del

time for?
Why, to see whether Huey
Long (the Louisiana porcupine)
was to sit on the floor or in
the galley. Well, the "Porcu-
pine" sticks right on the floor.
And the other four hours was
fighting over who would be
chairman of a convention that's
already a week old.
You can't beat the old Dem
ocrats for comedy. Time means
no more to them than to a
Mexican "burro."
Tomorrow we will spend the
day fighting over who will be
permanent ticket taker. Who
will be nominated? Say, it's
taken all spring and this far
into the summer to pick just a
chairman. Why, it looks like
Roosevelt's youngest son will be
nominated as he will be the
only living descendant.

One Sure Way to
End Coughs and Colds

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsifed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
ton; it soothes and heals the infamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
j Of all known drugs, creosote is recog.
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per.
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stopthe irritation and in.
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any
