Starting the oratory, interspersed
with uproarous demonstrations for
the individual candidates, John E.
Mack of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, pro-
posed the name of his old friend,
Governor Roosevelt.
He comes to this convention with
the greatest number of states behind
him in the history Of the Democratic
party" Mack said. "The north, the
east, the south and the west-the
great central states of the midwest
unite"
The New Yorker, he said. filled
the crying need for a practical
American with a clear perspective
and knowledge of the entire ma
ton as our chief executive
Nominating Smith, Governor Ely
OF Massachusetts,, praised him as "a
modern Andrew jackson, a positive,
vlrlle, stralght-Speaking, plain-think-
ing statesman. Alone of all the cam
dldates, Ely continued, Smith has
been so utterly bold as to disregard
his political future in proposing a
clean cut definite program for the
government to follow in attaining
the county's economic recovery"
Connaily Names Garner
Speaker Garner was placed in
nomination by Senator Connally of
Texas with an assertion that with
him there would go to the white
house courageous, experienced, Cap
able leadership.
This supreme hour calls for
man. Connally said. Weak and
Wavering vacillation must give way to
leader with a sense of direction and
determination to reach his destina-
ton. We want neither sup4man
nor, a miracle man. Charms and in
carnations have lost their force.
Senator Glass of Virginia, secretary
of the treasury under Wilson. pres
ented his states former governor,
Harry Flood Byrd, as a governor OF
virginia who made a record never
surpassed in the entire history of the
state"
What Byrd did for Virginia he
would do for the country if nom
mated by the convention and elected
by the people, Glass continued.
Michael l.. Igce of Chicago pro-
posed Melvin TrayIor, Illinois bank
or, as new type Of candidate.
We must name a new type of
man. Igoe said. "One who will
change the national psychology-one
who will point this nation once more
toward assured prosperity.
We accordingly propose to you as
our nominee for president one to
whom the American people would
turn with infinite relief as against
the weakness, the indecision, the lack
of vision, the ineptitude and the in
Man Of Destiny
Maryland'S governor, Albert C.
Richie was placed in nomination by
Senator Tydings, who termed him
the man of destiny"
This man embodies as does no
other the qualities for which the ma
ton yearns,' Tydings said. HE is
now 50 years of age, in the rich prime
of his life, in the full vigor of his
manhood. rich in executive expert
ence, with record of demonstrated
accomplishment, repetition of which
In the national sphere is the demand
Of the day."
Nominating former Senator James
A: Reed of Missouri, Samuel Fordyce
of st. Louis said:
The only way in which Democra-
cy's message can be effectively car
rled to our suffering people is by
nominating a man whose record
shows sincere belief in the great
fundamentals of our constitution. I
present to you such a man.
Governor White of Ohio was placed
IN nomination by former Senator At
lee Pomerene who said: Name him
as our candidate for the presidency
and Democracy will not be on the de-
fensive. He will make an aggressive
fight from the day the campaign
opens until its close"
Last to be presented was Governor
Murray of Oklahoma. He was pro-
posed by former Governor Henry S.
johnson Of that state.
Governor Murray" said Johnson,
knows enough to realize that yolun-
tary and involuntary idleness are
equally destructive; he knows that
the former is self-imposed and the
fault of the idler, and that the latter
is thrust upon an individual and is
the fault of the system.
Murray is the man OF the hour.
He is that as measured both by his
position and qualifications; he is that
by experience and by inherent char
acter quaiifications-by virtue of be-
ing great constitutional lawyer,
Democrat in the majestic sense,
true tribune of the people,"
