 First State for Roosevelt
 The Alabama delegation rushed tc the speakers stand with gigantic four-sided sign which says Ala. bama First State for Roosevelt Sen. Hugo L. Black, with his scanty hair rumpled, is in the midst of the fray.
 A Kansas sign with a Landon sunfiower on 1t: How did Landon balance the budget? By seventy per cent federal relief funds"
 The organ and both bands finally harmonize with Stars and Stripes Forever.
 Ed Wynn, the comic, shrieks into the ears of the Michigan delegates.
 Jimmy Roosevelt There
 Jimmy Roosevelt, the presidents eldest son, his bald spot shining in the blue-white glare, puts his arms around the bulging neck of Sena- tor Jim Byrnes, s. c.
 Philadelphians in the galleries join in the fun and throw news papers, programs, and banana peels into the delegates below.
 As the demonstration progresses the aisles become so damned that the delegates can barely creep. It Is worse than a convention week night club dance floor. The copper hats of the Montana delegation show the effect of rough treat ment.
 Queen Nearly Loses Skirt
 A Texas girl in a white dress climbs to the shoulders of a yellow coated cowboy. She nearly loses her skirt as she waves her som- brero before 19 photographers.
 The girl turns out to be queen of last nights mardi gras parade Miss Marion Fore, University of Texas graduate.
 Delegates of the United Mine Workers, who have been following the convention closely, jump into the fray with a gigantic calendar, bearing the presidents Autographed picture. The demonstration has been going IS minutes now and 1t seems wilder and louder than ever.
 Gov. Lehman In It
 Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of New York trudges past the speakers stand with the New York state sign.
 Cowbells, fish horns, and a police siren almost drown out the organ.
 This crowd is worse than foot ball mob," observes Senator Byrnes as he gazes at his trampled white shoes.
 The tall lanky Judge Mack leans back and smiles at the furore he started
 Torn paper flutters throughout the hall, resembling a flock of pigeons in the smoky blue glare.
 One Quiet Spot
 Section A in the ton gallery, where the Al Srnith demonstration oc- cured last night, is the quietest spot in the hall.
 The Alabama and Colorado dele- gations start their second trip around the hall. Somebody brings in an automobile horn and keeps his thumb on the switch.
 A New Hampshire banner march, es by with the legend: "The party with soul"
 The seven hundred men and wom- en in the press boxes work under difficulties with photographers crawling over their plank desks and stepping on their fingers.
 The marchers seem to be almost half women. Their summer frocks are crumpled. For 24 minutes now the demonstration has ragged. Only the bigwigs on the platform and the Philadelphians in the top gallery retain their calm.
 Three Hard Hoover Years
 A New York newspaper enters its banners in the parade. A Mississippi sign says: Three hard years with Hoover"
 The heat on the floor now is so much like furnace that the dele gates begin to wrap handkerchiefs around their necks in belated ef- fort to save their collars. A South Carolinian with wild gleam in his eyes attempts to lead band with one hand and carry Q banner in the other.
 Sen. Robinson takes a long look, lays down his mallet and lights cigar. The Rhode Island Reds in their scarlet helmets, rush up to the front rows and yell 4 West Virginia HillbiIly band plays noun tain music which nobody can hear.
 Do Buck and Wing
 I. T. Quinn, and Mrs O. C.
