 The tortured Interpretation" to which aBrkley referred was the in- depreciation placed by the court upon interstate commerce in throw ing the National Recovery Act and the Guffey coal bill in the ashcan of unconstitutional waste. The courts interpretation is precisely the opposite of Barkley's but of the court he said:
 we shall abide by It's decisions and seek to shape our program in accordance with them"
 Orators Were Audience
 Barkley and his fellow orators, Chairman James A. Farley, and Gov. George H. Earle found the republican range to the satisfaction of convention democrats. Boos boomed from happy delegates at mention of MT. Hoover or the Liberty League of which Alfred E. Smith was co-foundner. So far there has been no personal attack on Smith, despite his weekend bolt and plea for this convention to drop MT. Roosevelt and nominate a genuine democrat.
 This convention is ready with a cheer for every attack on Landon, the republican party and the 19S6 republican platform.
 Platform orators fed gasoline to the New Deal fires yesterday and the line is forming on the right to- day.
 Sen. Joseph T. Robinson of Arr kansas will be elected chairman to- night to succeed Sen. Barkley. Barkley last night climaxed day in which delegates were up and down and around the hall in dem. onstratoin after demonstration. They cheered Farley when he opened the show with a challenge to the re- publicans to meet this issue:
 "The New Deal against the Old Deal"
 Gov. Earle Makes Hit
 Gov. Earle, of Pennsylvania, g fattish and handsome young man ran smack into a personal triumph when he stepped up to the platform microphones and told how and why he had left the republican party four years ago.
 "All my life had been republi. can," he said. My grandfather wal a republican. His father, Thomas Earle, was vice presidential candi- date of the liberal party out oi which the republican party grew.
 T left the republican party be. cause 1t no longer represented thu principles and ideals of its founder Abraham Lincoln"
 The convention went slightly mad It had given Farley an ovation Earle's was bigger and noisier, part ly because of a forehanded Penn splvania delegate who brought { portable automobile siren-firI truck size-into the convention hal and wound 1t like a hurdy gurd! for minutes on end. Pennsylvani; democrats are telling Earle he would be the logical 1940 New Deal can didate to succeed MT. Roosevelt This smiling young man does seen to have the electric touch of { successful politician.

 "What I now ask," boomed Bark ley, land the people have a right t know, is whether the miscelIaneou assembly of heterogeneous element which met at Cleveland two week ago, and the ticket which 1t nomin ated, approve this great financia program and its results, or whether if returned to power, they vii scuttle it again as they scuttled tn, great system set up by the admin | istration of Woodrow Wilson.
