ing promptness that broke two prece-
dents today he conferred tonight with

vention shouting died down before he
was in his headquarters at the Con-
gress Hotel planning his program of
future activity. His plans for the
present, however, are indefinite, but he
made it clear that he had in mind a
busy campaign.
Day of Unprecedented Vigor.
If his first day was any gauge, it
will be one of unprecedented vigor. He
began the day with an airplane trip
that brought him a third Of the way
across the continent-the first time a
presidential nominee had ever taken to
the air in his campaign.

that usually are deferred until weeks
later in the campaign.

He was attired in gray suit and looked
fresh despite having flown more than
1000 miles and shaken hands with
hundreds of persona.
He smiled broadly as he opened the
press conference and one of his first
remarks was that he was happy that
Speaker Garner had been chosen as his
running mate.
Happy for two Reasons.
"I am happy for two reasons" he
said.
First, because of his great expert
ence and energy. Second, because he
has been my close friend for a long
period of years"

to Garner. He said the Speaker had

here?" he was asked.
Il intend talking to lot of people,
but have no appointments"

the strain of covering the convention
without sleep.
I'VE didn't get very much sleep in
Albany either" he observed.
DO you plan to speak in every State" I"
he was asked
No, 1t takes a vice presidential
candidate Of 38 to do that. Let's see,
wasn't 36 in 1920? Yet, that's right"
Somebody asked him if it had begun
to look like the convention was going to
last through the Fourth of July and

through two conventions that lasted
through the Fourth of July, San Fran
