Hoover Stands "Serene and Confident"
His NOmin atOr Tells Convention

Ex-senator Butler was then
recognized and there was a flut-
ter among the delegates who
knew about the Coolidge letter.
But Butler merely had a reso-
luton confirming the members
of the national committee, and
it went through without oppoSi-
ton. Smell baWled:
The next order Of business
is to nominate a candidate for
the presidency of the United
States"
SHELLS memory was not work
ing so we'll. He thought appar-
entity he was still in Kansas City
in 1928, for he announced:
"The chair now recognizes
the delegate from California,
Mr.. McNab."
It was John L. McNab, of Cali
fornia who placed Mr.. Hoover in
nomination four years ago.
Laughter on Floor
A whispered conference on the
platform and Smell came forth
again with:
THE chair recognizes the
delegate from California, Mr..
Scott"
There was laughter from the
floor and then a few scattered
cheers as the gray-haired, sol
emn-visaged Los Angeles lawyer
took the snotlipht.
The Washington times., 1932-06-16

Butler was armed with a letter
from Coolidge which said in un-
eouivocal terms that he would
not accept if nominated. Butler
was asked:
"When was this letter writ
ten?"
81 received it last Friday. No,
I will not make it public, for
there is yet no emergency that

Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
created a ripple of excitement by
appearing on the platform and
engaging in earnest conversation
with some of the leaders.
Active for Brother
She has been very active in
her quiet, unobtrusive, but in
fluential way, in promoting the
anti-Curtis talk. She would not
be averse to seeing her brother

place on the ticket.
To questioners as to what her
conferences we're all about she
returned her usual stock answer:

Friends of Curtis Smile Confidently
As They Check Up Delegates

r. B. Creager, the Texas ma
tional committee man, who was
the most active in starting the
Dawes insurrection, still insisted
stubbornly that he was for
Dawes and in favor of drafting
him, Notwithstanding the volatile
generals assertion he would not
accept if chosen.
Curtis friends were secretly
circulating among the delegations
and they were confidently smil-
ing as they huddled and checked
up on their figures. A number of
delegations caucused this morn
ing before the convention met and
decided to support the Kansan.
Coolidge Has Vision
While the delegates milled
around. waiting for the gavel, it
became known that Mr.. Coolidge
had. with canny foresight, al.
ready acted to forestall any move
ment in his behalf.
Former Senator William Morgan
Butler, who in 1924 managed
Coolidge's successful campaign,
told inquirers that he had posi-.
tive instructions from the Yer
monter to stop it all.

vention a picture of Mr.. Hoover
appeared.
Beam ming benignly Chairman
Smell walked to the front of the
platform and held aloft an old
campaign poster of the vintage
of 1928. He waved it eloquently
while the delegates cheered.
A good many delegations were
still in their seats, however, 10
minutes after the demonstration
started.
Keep in Their Places
The State standards of Ver-
mont, Rhode Island, Illinois, Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin, Arizona, Ne
braska and Wyoming were still
in their places, Notwithstanding
the efforts of the Hoover en-
thusiaSts to drag them in.
Whether this indicated that the
delegations were cool to the dem
onstration or whether it was just
too gosh-darned hot to struggle
through those aisles can be left
to the imagination,

Small American Flags GiUen Everyone
To Wave at Hoover denomination

It was 11:44 when Chairman
Bert Smell finally ordered the
delegates into their seats with
the bang of the gavel. Smell
bawled:
"The delegates will stand
while we sing America"
It was weak chorus. Not
half the delegates joined in the
song, and even they were hum
ming it and slurring the words.
AS usual the convention was
opened with prayer-only this
time it was a Jewish rabbi, Fer
dinand Isserman of the Temple
Israel, of st. Louis, who old it.
On the opening day it was an
Episcopal bishop, and yesterday
a Catholic priest. Politics knows
nc religion-ostenSibly. at least.
The prayer ended, Chairman
Smell announced gravely that
"there was a lot of business to
perform" and pleaded for order.
While the delegates waved for

gestures but with evident enthu,
siasm for his subject.

Hits at Democrats
That was an unmiStakable ref
erence to the Democrats who are
to move into the stadium on the
heels of the departing Repibli
cans.
Mr.. Hoover, he assured them
is not affrighted. He painted
him standing on the bridge OF
the ship of state alone and un
afraid. He declared:

Band Plays "CqlifOrnia, Here Come"
As Scott Shouts Name of Hoover

They listened to Scott mostly
in silence. Like a true nomina-

until the last sentence of his
speech.
Perspiration was rolling from
his ruddy face as he shouted the
name. The pipe organ pealed
forth with California, Here I
Come"
The delegates pulled out their
flags and the vast stadium be-
came a mass of waving color.
Led BY California
Appropriately enough, Cali
fornia led the show. They broke
out with a large banner 80 feet
long on which was emblazoned
"California-to-M a n e-PreSs on

A band, conveniently stationed
in one of the exits, crashed onto
the floor and struggled through
the aiSleS already packed with
sweating delegates.

EClFlNSJ'
CHICAGO, June 6 (LN.S.).
The second day of the Repub-
Iican convention will remain
the red letter day.
It began with the speech Of
Representative Smell, the per-
manent chairman-more eff
fectively delivered than that
of the keynoter, and more
denunciatory of the Demo
Gratis.
It ended at 1 o'clock this morn
ing with the triumph of Herbert
Hoover over the straight repealist
and with Ogden Mills in the
role of the D'Artagnsn of the
dryS.
1t was a day Of demonstrations,
real and mechanical. The me-
chanical demonstration followed
reference to Mr. Hoover's "lead-
ership" in the chairman's speech;
the real demonstrations were
those of the evening session,
when repeal was the issue and
the fight was on.
The Hoover demonstration be-
gan mildly, by no means rap
turously, and then increased in
volume. California waved a flag
and sang a song. Then someone
thought of a parade of stand
ards, and started one; slowly,
very slowly, others joined. The
parade began.
Forced Enthusiasm
Seated where the marchers
moved directly by me, I studied
their faces. That was the fasci-
mating thing ABOUT that demon
stration. Here and there, there
was a glowing face; now and
then, a Shouter or a singer
passed; but most faces were
without the light of an inner
fire-sombre, sober faces, they
were, of men scourged to a task.
The press section instantly SenSed
the mechanics of the thing.
A spontaneous demonstration
from a great multitude, actually
moved is inspiring; and this was
reserved for the evening session
and the repeal issue.
Then the air was charged with
electricity. The galleries, for the
first time, crowded. Faces, for the
first time, glowing with excite
ment. All day Hoover's ennis
saries had been fighting desper-
atelv for a prohibition plank rich
in the possibilities Of evasion-a
plank which Borah thinks dis
honest and Butler had denounced
as hypocritical and absurd.
There fighting for the Hoover
plan had stood Ogden Mills. dis
regarding the clear sentiment of
his State, and contemptuouSly
brushing aside the instructions of
his delegation.
Words and Words
The revolt was growing. Every
one understood that Hoover

platform to make the nominating
speech for Mr.. Hoover, a flock
of routine announcements were
made from the platform-the
names of new national commit
tee men, etc. All were present
and accounted for with the eX-
ception of Illinois.
AS the roll call of committee
men was on, blue-uniformed
uSherS circulated through the
delegates, putting in every ones
hands small American flags. They
were for waving purposes when
finally the convention completes
it's allotted task of renominating
Mr.. Hoover.
Even the galleries were not
overlooked in the distribution Of
the emblemS. In every way the
stage was set-from the balloons
suspended from the rafterS to the
flags on the floor.

PLATFORM
President to Seek Reelection
on Record of His Fight to
Aid Economic Situation
By WIN. K. HUTCHINSON

CHICAGO, June 16 0.N.S) }.
President Hoover will seek re-
election next November on his
Administrations record in
helping the nation meet its
economic burdens, defense of
the traditional r epub ic n
tariff, a rather complicated
prohibition plank and a plea
for adherence to the World
Court.
These were the highlights of the
1882 Republican platform. 1t was
written according to the PreSi.
dents wishes, and it sang his
praises from start to finish. 1t
was strictly a Hoover platform.
Denies People a Chance
The prohibition plank proposed
a twentieth amendment, permit.
ting the people to vote through
State conventions on substituting
congressional regulation on the
liquor traffic for outright prohibit
ton.
The substitute plan would ban
saloons. The plank, however,
would not give the people a
chance to vote for outright repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment
unless the substitute we're desired.
Aside from this proposal, the
economic planks dominated the
new platform. President Hoover
was pictured as laboring unceas-
ingly for the nations welfare and
as having anticipated the economic
crisis.
Pledges Of the Party
His record in defending the
gold standard, protecting banking
institutions, opposing initiation of
the currency. and fighting for
Federal economy was extolled. 1t
was apparent these issues would
comprise his major bid for Sec
ond term.
After urging the American peo-
pie to help work out the cure"
for economic ailments and asSail.
ing Del ocratic fiscal policies, the
platform pledged the Republican
p~rty-
Il. To maintain unimpaired
the national credit.
"2. To defend and preserve a
sound currency and an honest

SO. To stand steadfastly by

The delegates were ready to

The flags disappeared, the
binding Kleig lights we're turned
off, the last balloon was popped"
and they sank wearily into their
sections. It was all over.
The vets left the stadium this
morning sore and disgruntled.
BY a vote of 681 to 472, the
convention turned down the
prohibition plank sponsored by
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler and
Senator Hiram Bingham, which
called upon the party to father a
straight-out test for repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
The plank they finally adopted
was one that the vets didn't t
like, although it was a million
miles in advance of anything
that any other Republican con.
vention has ever adopted.
1t called for resubmiSsion of
the issue to the people in some
what vague termS-the kind of a
plank that Mr.. Hoover'S
numerous spokesmen in Chicago
asserted that he wanted.
Bingham Puts Up Fight
It was what the vets described
as "a tepid resubmission plank, "
and they battled it down the
line.
From the platform, which he
took twice to oppose the COM
mittee's plank, Senator Bingham
of Connecticut challenged the
Administration leaders to explain
what the prohibition plank meant.
He said:
"All we ask is a chance to
vote on the Straight-Out, honest
question of repeal versus re-
tentiOn. We want to come
clean, and we don't want to
vote on some vague question
which nobody understands.
The plank which the majority
of the committee presents you
is meaningless"
The vets had the majority of
the speakers and the bulk of the
enthusiasm, but in the end the
Administration forces proved they
controlled the convention by the
vote. The only plank in the
platform that met with oppoSi-
ton was the prohibition plank.
After that was disposed of, the
convention just whooped the plat
form through.
McNab Puts 1t Over
AS the delegates left the
stadium early this morning a lot
of them were saying:
"WelI, the Democrats will
now have to adopt a straight
out repeal plank, and then we
will see how wet this country is"
