 Wild Ouer An Hour
tcontinued from Page D

seats and crowded balconies, men and women sprang from their chairs roaring and cheering. The denton- stration was off = the climatic event the convention had waited for.
 Presented As Friend
 Mack presented MT. Roosevelt to the convention not in the words and gestors of an orator. He pre- sented him as his old school friend --as the boyhood chum and man. hood companion, and now the ra- tions leader and the New Deals author.
 He spoke in simple terms.
 we meet again." he said-and the minds of the delegates harked back to the day in Chicago in 1882 when Mack ad performed a similar service in presenting the name of his friend to the democratic con- vention of that year. Macks words that day provoked wild enthusiasm, mad demonstrations.
 Old Friend Missing
 Again today they touched of the crowd. But the scene was a con trast. Gone from the democratic national convention hall was Alfred E. Smith whose nomination demon- stration at Chicago had exceeded even that of Roosevelt.
 Smith has walked out on the con- vention-and out of the party of Mack referred in- to the parting of the ways between the two once close ademo- cratic leaders. This year his name came before the convention only in the block-printed banners unfurled by riotous nest of disturbers at least nights session.
 Absence Not Noted
 But though Smith and the demo- cratic leaders who joined him in his walk were missing, the convention little noted their absence. They poured into the aisles, shouting in raucous voices hoarsened by a week of practice demonstrations that led up to today's.
 They climbed on each others shoulders. They waved their banners and perspired in the hot blueish glare of the batteries of Klieg lights. The band played Its brassiest and the organ beloved with the voice of 100000 throats.
 Roosevelt = Roosevelt = Roose- velt-" read the banners. There was only one name-that of the presi- dent, placed in nomination for his second term of offlce--only that name and jibes at the republican nominees named at Cleveland and at former President Hoover.
 Not In Twenty Years
 Not in 20 years had a democratic convention presented this unani- nous spectacle - not since 1916 when Woodrow Wilson was renom- mated at St. Louis.
 Sealing their unanimity, the con- vention had agreed to abolish the 104-year-old rule requiring two- thirds vote for presidential nomina- ton and had with a shout of ac- clamation agreed upon @ platform to which MT. Roosevelt himself had 
 Mack's address was but prelude to a long parade of New Deal ora tors, seconding the nomination in behalf of every state. the District of Columbia and territorial subdivi- sions.

Menar, of Montgomery county, Al- abama, do buck and wing. 'How's that for an old grandma?" De- mands the perspirlng Mrs. Menar, brushing a wisp of hair from her brow.
 John Roosevelt gets pulled out of the parade by admirers of his father and is forced to autograph convention ticket by the dozen.
 The autograph seekers hoist him to their shoulders and carry him down the aisles. His head is stream ing precipitation as he waves to the galleries.
 The fun has been going now 40 minutes and the delegates are be- coming hoarse. The aisles begin to thin out. A Tennessee delegate weighing almost 300 pounds rides a suffering donkey.
 The floor is carpeted with paper now-chewing gum wrappers and root beer cups.
 Two Children of President
 Two of the presidents children Franklin Jr., and Anna Boettiger- take it easy on the platform.
 The Columbia broadcasting sys- tenn meter, which registers noise as a thermometer registers heat, goes to the top of the column and stays there. The engineer says 1t has set a convention record.
 The Mississippi delegation carries through the aisles two small chil- dren dressed in rags. They are supp posed to typify life under the re- publicans.
 Governor Earle of Pennsylvania tootS a peculiarly flat sounding horn. He is puffing hard. The young democrats begin to run through the hall pushing spectators out of their way. It is impossible to estimate the number of yells caused by corns being tramped upon.

March 7, 1765-Joseph Niepce was
born in France, where he became a
world pioneer in photography. He
was led to his discoveries in picture
making by failing eyesight!
March 7, 1792-John Herschel was
born in England. This discoverer of
"hypo" the photo fixing agent fore
cast the invention of the motion pic
ture more than half a century before
the first one was made! He was
first to apply the terms positive and
negative to Photographic images,
after discovering the process of pho
Biography on sensatized paper.
March 7, 1837-This is, you see, a
red-letter day in the annals of pho
Biography. Henry Draper was born in
prince Edward County, Virginia. He
was the subject of the first "baby pic
ture" ever made, for he was the son
of the man who introduced photo
graphy into the u. S., and he was
himself the pioneer in celestial photo
graphy, making the first photo of the
moon.
March 7, 1S70-The first grand jury
of both sexes in the U. S. was i'm
paneled at Laramie, in Wyoming, the
first State to grant women equal
rights. Though they supposedly have
them throughout the Union today, in
nearly half of the States they are
not eligible for jury service.
