heard the happenings of the convention
over the radio.
Statement Is Awaited.
It was indicated by Smiths support
ers that he would make statement later.
He has always been a Democrat. A Sug-
gsstion that he would bolt" the ticket
named by the party in national conven-
ton seemed incredible. A statement
now by Smith that he intends to go
forward with the new standard bearer
would do much to eliminate the threat
ened discord between the Smith follow
ers and the rest of the party.
The McAdoo announcement of the
shift to Roosevelt came dramatically
and early in the calling of the roll of
States on the fourth ballot last night
California is the fourth State on the
list. The three ahead of it. Alabama,
Arizona and Arkansas, already had cast
their full vote for Roosevelt. McAdoo
demanded recognition to explain the
vote of the California delegation.
Instantly the Roosevelt delegates
everywhere leaped to their feet in a
wild outburst of cheers. The appear
ance of McAdoo was accepted as the
signal of the starting of the bandwagon
for Roosevelt and delegations were
Fastening to clamor aboard.
California asks the opportunity of
explaining its vote to this convention, )"
said McAdoo. Cheers from the Roose-
welt supporters and jeerS from those
opposed to the New York Governor,
mostly in the galleries, greeted the an
nouncement.
Make 1t Loud Enough"
"I wish to thank this convention for
the privilege of explaining this vote, "
he began.
Louder" chorused the anti-Roose-
welt spectators.
I'll make it loud enough, all right"
McAdoo shouted.
California, he resumed. came here
to nominate President of the United
States. California did not come here
to deadlock this convention, or to en-
gage In another affair like that OF 1924.
A roar of boos went up in the gal
lerieS.
In my great State, where Democracy
has increased in registration lat per
cent in the last year, we believe that
the interests of thu people will be best
served by change to a Democratic
administration. We believe that use
less contest, long prolonged, can only
lead to chkm that might not be cured
before the Fall election. AS in the case
of surgery. the life of the natient may
be destroyed by unnecessary delay.
1--WE have taken a stand whlcn we
hope will promote party harmony
Here McAdoo was again interrupted py
a mighty chorus OF booS.
"A man has come here with popular
will behind him to the extent OF almost
700 votes"
Cheers Drown Boos.
The boos went up again, but they
were quickly suppressed by wild cheers
that swept the entire stadium. A DEM
onstration was set off. The delegations
supporting Roosevelt leaped to theiI
feet and yelled. waving their State
standards.
Arthur Mullen of Nebraska and OF
the Roosevelt high command, arose TO
be recognized, but the din precluded
any speech on his part. Then the
standard of Texas was shot up and
waved over the heads of the Texas dele
cation, which meant the virtual clinch-
ing of Gov. Roosevelt's nomination, with
As votes from Texas and A from Cali
fornia, while he failed of nomination
on the third ballot by only 38. Through
out the stadium spectators pointed to
the standard of Texas. There 1t IS,
it's all over now" they yelled. And
the roar of yells and cheers continued
while McAdoo waited to resume his
speech.
McAdoo had difficulty proceeding
~frsAh afr oryr IN
there was the tumultous demonstration
of the Roosevelt partisans whooping II
up in anticipation of victory. On the
other hand was the Chicago crowd III
the galleries booing any mention of the
name of Roosevelt.
James A. Farley, Roosevelt manager
in chief, appeared at the side Of Nc
Adoo on the platform. The entire con-
yention was on its feet wildly yelling
Chairman Walsh belabored the block
with his gavel, bat his efforts were sub
merged in sea OF boos.
McAdoo leaned forward toward the
speech. The mob answered with a
torpedo of boos.
Cermak Draws Cheers.
Il appeal to the citizens" beloved
Walsh when he could make himself
heard. for the honor Of the city that
they will silence this"
Mayor Cermak being 2 )ealed TO to
take hand, came to the platform and
took his place beside McA1oo. He raised
his hand aloft and in silencing ges-
ture and the torrent of boos was re-
placed with a torrent Of cheers.
Let me appeal to my friends in the
galleries" said the mayor. THE Demo-
cratic National Convention was kind
enough to bring the convention to Chi
cago. In this convention we are their
guests. Please act like their guests"
Mingled boos and cheers greeted the
mayors words.
Please" Cermak continued. Il ap-
peal to you. Please silence the noise.
Comparative quiet was finally re-
stored and McAdoo went on with his
speech.
SarcaStically he said:
II want to thank the galleries for the
compliment they have paid me, and
this convention wants to know, for the
guidance of future Democratic conyen-
tions, whether or rot this is the kind
of hospitality that Chicago accords to
its guests.
Il intend to say what I propose to say
here tonight without regard to what the
galleries or anybody else tanks.
LaudS Garner.
"As / was saying when this demon
stration began. my friends. whenever a
man comes into this convention with
700 votes In his favor, l take it as IN
dicative of the public sentiment OF the
country for that candidate, and as
believe in Democracy and the rule OF
the majority, and the two-thirds rule
which makes it very difficult in Demo
cratic conventions to nominate any man
I saw that when any man is within
reach of the two-thirds that are neces-
sary to nominate him he is entitled tt
the nomination, and California pro-
poses to do her share TO see that tht
popular will is respected.
I'VE came here for the great Iexah
John N. Garner. We have lost not ONT
