CHICAGO July Harry Flood
Byrd of Virginia was offered to the
Democratic party as a candidate
for the presidency, who as Governor
of Virginia made a record never sur
passed in the entire history of the
State"
What Byrd did for Virginia he
would do for the country if nomi-
mated by this convention and elected
by the people" said Senator Carter
Glass in placing Byrd in nomination
before the convention. He reminded
that Thomas Jefferson and Patrick
Henry were once Virginia Senators.
"A confirmed expert In business
methods tested in the problems OF
public taxation, he would inaugurate
at Washington a wise and provident
and honest pay-as-yOu-go administra-
ton. Of which the Democratic party
would be proud, and from which the
entire Nation would derive the bless
ings OF better hope and the content
ment Of permanent recovery Glass
asserted
Assaning the Republican administra-
ton and declaring the Nation Is con-
fronted with economic problems de-
manding a sane solution to escape a
choice between insolvency and unen-
durable taxation of the people, Glass
praised Byrd as possessing the thought,
purpose and courage necessary to lead.
He said Byrd was a farmer with an
acute appreciation Of the needs of ag-
riculture; a business man who in

5000 miles at a cost of $75, 900 900

who consolidated a hundred agencies
into II compact departments at a saw
ing Of 100000 year. and an executive
who survived 1881 with a surplus, fol-
lowed the following year by land tax re-
ductions in excess Of $4,000 COO.
Even in this desperate depression
the State ends this fiscal year with a
cash balance of $4,000 900 and with
her bonds at premium in the markets
Of the world, the Virginia Senator
said.
Like Thomas Jefferson, this young
Virginian for whom we ask your favor
was born an aristocrat, but from choice
became great Democrat. With the
gracious manners of a gentleman he
unites the fine virtues of the yeoman
With the intellectual graces of a su-
perior mind he unites the warmth and
the kindly emotions of tender heart
He is honest, he is courageous, he
is fit.
Nominate Harry Byrd as your can
didate and the Democratic party of
the Nation will preserve the unbroken
record Of always achieving victory at
a presidential election when its ban

Es ttlF associated ETeSbs
CHICAGO. July l. The name Of
James A. Reed. the silver-haired former
Senator from Missouri. was placed In
nomination for the presidency by Sam
uel w Fordyce. St. Louis attorney.
If you wish vaguepess or vacilla-
ton" Fordyce told the Democratic con-
vention, do not choose Senator Reed"
Fordyce said the party must convince
the American people that the possessor
of property would be protected in his
honest rights; he warned against Com
munism and Socialism and said the
times demanded a man who would do
these things.
"Endeared to Masses"
"I present to you such a man" he
said. Throughout his long and useful
life he has endeared himself to the
great masses Of the people This mans
unceasing battle for humanity has
brought to him the admiration, the
devotion, the love OF every class"
Fordyce said one great battle alone
in Reeds career entities him to an
everlasting place in the hall Of fame,
his relentless, his successful fight to
keep this country from ignoring Wash
ington's warning to avoid all foreign
entanglements
Let us analyze" Fordyce said, what
you delegates and the people who sent
you here desire in a candidate"
DO you wish demonstrated expert
ence in the art and science of Federal
Government?
Long Record Cited.
Some have theories. Senator Reed
has actual knowledge. Some tell us
what they would do If elected.
Senator Reeds record shows you
what he actually has done
do you want devotion to personal
liberty as well as property rights?
Search his record as prosecuting at
torney, as mayor Of Kansas City-as
Senator of the United States.
You will find not one act Of his
not one vote Of his, to mar that record.
They say Reed has made enemies.
What strong man has not made them?
Reed has been criticized, villified; but
time has proved him right.
DO you want courage?
In Reed you have courage to a
superlative degree.
do not nominate James A. Reed"
Fordyce said, IF you wish the Demo-
cratic party to be suspected of Radical
ism, Communism or Socialism.
IF you want a campaigner who wins
his battles, take our candidate.

when he nominated Alfred {. Smith for
the presidency of the United States. 1t
will not be a useless document if Alfred
E. Smith is our standard bearer.
In 1928, riding the crest of the wave,
the Republican party was unbeatable.
Yet our candidate polled 100000
votes-more than any other Democrat
ever received or any other candidate
except Mr. Hoover. With the tide of
prosperity against him, 100000 votes
properly placed would have changed
the election. What would happen to-
day in the tide Of depression? Sure
victory.
Jefferson Race Recalled.
IT speak for the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts In no uncertain terms
she has expressed her preference to
this convention. I believe that voice
the sentiments Of the industrial east.
The prejudices of our Protestant an
cestors against entruSting government
to those OF a different religious faith
have long since been wiped away by
many a successful experience, through
which we have found that man
imbued with faith In God, whatever
the creed, may be entrusted safely with
the reins Of government. We speak
from experience.
Timothy Dwight. president of Yale
University, looked upon the election OF
Thomas jefferson to the presidency of
the United States as impossible because
Of his alleged religious beliefs-the
orthodoxy Of which has never been
established He said, We may see our
wives and daughters the victims Of legal
prostitution; soberly dishonored; spe-
ciously polluted; the outcasts Of delicacy
and virtue, the loathing Of God and
man jefferson also ran once and lost.
Has any man ever questioned the de-
votion Of Thomas Jefferson TO American
principles? Did any man ever do more
for the upbuilding of the great re-
public? Is the loyalty of a Catholic
American to the United States and her
principles to be challenged?
II summarize my creed as an Ameri-
can Catholic.
IT believe in the worship Of God ac-
cording to the faith and practice Of
the Roman Catholic Church.
Il recognize no power in the institu-
tions Of my church to interfere with
the operations of the Constitution OF
the United States or the enforcement
of the law of the land
THAT is the creed Of Alfred E.
Smith,"

One OF the most amusing incidents
Of the early days Of anthracite was
when firm of wire manufacturers,
early in the Nineteenth century, at
tempted to substitute anthracite coal
for soft coal in their rolling mill. Aft
er working for two days and using two
carloads of coal they were about to
give up. The attendants Of the fire,
who had done lot of work with polk
ers, laid down these tools and went to
lunch. When they returned they were
astonished to note that the furnace
was red hot. Opening the door they
found the interior glowing with In
tense white heat. So, accidentally
they found that the way to make an
anthracite fire burn was to leave 1t
alone!
