 , He said the minority 'submis- sion' plank was "wetter than the wettest minority report offered in the republican convention by Sen- ator Bingham"
 Senator Robert J. Bulkley. Ohio, got his cheers and retired.
 "The next speaker for the ma jority plank is Governor Alfred E. smith," announced the chair man.
 Red faced and smiling, Smith stood behind Walsh. Delegates glimpsed the Happy Warrior" 1" Most of them got up. They yelled. They screamed. They marched. They stood on their chairs. Smiths smile became wider. He fumbled his vest buttons and grinned some more. It was the loudest and heartiest demonstration of the convention so far. Smith liked 1t. But he waved the crowd to silence.
 "The fact" said Smith. "that the senator (Cordell Hull, Tennessee). |. "only found out in the last three days that there was sentiment in this country for repeal Is just too bad. There is nothing the conven- ton can do about 1t but extend sympathy"
 "Good old AL" approved someone from Illinois.
 'Tf there Is anything in the world that people dislike 1t is those people who make out to be wet when they are among vets and dry when they are among drys.
 Hoover took that position.",
 Smith laughed at the adminis- tration's use of the Wickersham commission report and the conven- ton laughed with him.
 "A week ago." Smith continued. "the republican convention met in this hall. promised myself to lis- ten to 1t on the raddio."
 Mention of that famously mis- pronounced word set the conven- tion off for another minor demon- stration. Smith told them he couldn't listen to the republicans beyond the speech of the tempo rary chairman,
 To Hulrs plea that party should take no stand for or against submission of constitutional is- sue, Smith recalled the income tax and direct election of senators, suggesting that Senator Hull had thought differently with respect to them.
 Maury Hughes, Texas, was sched- uled to speak for the moderates. He changed sides on the speakers platform aS he was being 1ntro- duced.
 For Gods sake Maury," shout. ed e disheaveled Texan from the floor below, "don't do 1t. We just voted repeal"
 Hughes announced that fact from the platform and joined the vets. He said Texas took her stand from Garner.
 To Governor Albert c. Ritchie. Maryland, were assigned the clos ing words for repeal. It was late. The Marylander knew the crowd was tired. He threw away his speech, said 1t was late. He got cheers and applause but no parade.
 He reminded the convention that he had been for repeal IF years ago. He stressed states rights and taxation and temperance.
 Hawaii obtained two minutes to propose home rule for the islands. X William c. McAdoo offered . minority report for a form of fed. eral guarantee of bank deposits.
 Governor William H. Alfalfa Bflp Murray presented half dozen blanks and amendments, in- cluding immediate cash payments to veterans. But all these matters were passed over until the after noon session ,to-day.
 Hands in p6ckets, moustache dropping. Murray stood easily be- fore the microphones and offered the convention as clear . speaking voice as 1t has heard.
 T say to you that the cry Hoov- CT has failed will not sufiice for the voter" Murray said. T say that next winter will be worse than the last and the winter after that may be still wcrDe."
 Murray proposed aid for inde. pendent oil operators. rernonetiza- ton of silver and . moratorium on farm and home mortgages.
 There were other speakers. The crowd was not anxious to hear them. It wanted to vote. The roll call began. Alabama split 21 to 2 against outright repeal. Arizona
