Nary of Oregon, Republican leader
of the Senate. Judge William A.
Ekwall of Portland, Greg, made the
nominating speech.
John Locke Green, delegate from

tion of Senator Bridges. He asserted
the New Hampshire Senator believed
in the platform and will keep our
liberties and not sacrifice us and our
children in useless war" The Arling-
ton delegate described the Senator
as fine man, great man and
good man"
McNary Praised.
Judge Ekwall said of Senator Nc
Nary:
If you want man who will sur
round himself with the very best
cabinet members and advisers avail
able and find a wealth of such
material within the ranks of his
own party, if you want a man who
Is best able to cement the tremen-
dous farm support of this country
SO vitally essential to a Republican
victory in November, = then the
State of Oregon offers you her most
distinguished native son-Charles
LIMA McNary."
A brief furry of applause and
organ playing followed. The chair
man gave no time for demon
stration.
Big James Demonstration.
Ihe convention really went to
town, however, when Gov. James
was placed in nomination by Sena-
tor Davis. On the floor the cheer
ing was led by former Senator
George Wharton Pepper and former
senator David A. Reed. The GAL
leries, filled with many Pennsyl-
vanians, gave the Governor a great
hand.
There was no parade around the
hall, for Senator Davis prefaced his
nominating speech with a request
from Gov. James that "any. demon
Stratlon be postponed until he has
been nominated by the convention
itself"
Senator Davis got vigorous ap-
plause when he said, I'VE don't
want Fascism in these United States.
We want President who has
worked his way up and made his
own way-not into Government
from the top-but who has worked
as a red-headed clinker boy. He
licked them in 1888 and he can do
it again in 1910. He brought Penn
sylvania back to the Republican
party
The demonstration lasted nearly
Is minutes. 1t was the first real
burst of enthusiasm of the day.
Gov. Bushfield Is Last.
The hall was silent when South
Dakota was called. Miss GLADYS
Pyle of Huron came to the stand and
presented the name of Gov. Bush
field of South Dakota.
My candidate has determination
and is not afraid of opposition"
Miss Pyle said. DO you want a
candidate who would rid America
of the influences that are under
mining our Government? Gov.
Bushfield would do that"
Handclapping greeted her address.
There was no seconding speech and
the convention recessed at LAS pm,
Eastern Standard time, until $3.50
pm.

slow in filtering into the hall this
morning, realizing that, after hear
ing Mr.. Dewey, Frank Gannett, Mr..
Willkie and Senator Taft presented
last night they had six more nomi-
mating and seconding speeches to
near before the serious business of
balloting would start.
Mr.. MacNider was placed in NOM
ination by Verne Marshall of Grand
Rapids, who declared, Our task is
to save America-not just the Re-
publican party"
The speaker said Mr.. MacNider
had refused to let an organization
be set up to push his nomination,
because he felt that whoever enters
the White House in this time of
crisis should be invited to enter by
Uncle Sam, and shouldn't try to
crash the gate"
Senator Vandenberg was the first
of the major candidates to be placed
in nomination without a parade
around the hall. The Senator had
requested that there be no demon
stration in view of conditions in the
world today. In nominating him,
Representative Woodruff of Michi-
gan prefaced his prepared speech
with these remarks:
There has been too much talk
here this week about stopping this
candidate or that candidate. We
seem to lose sight of the fact the
candidate we have to stop next No
vember lives in Washington, and
my man can do that job. And let
me warn you and the people of the
United States that If in the next
election you vote for a third term 1t
may be your last opportunity to
vote"
Senator Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire was the next candidate
placed in nomination by Repre-
sentative Foster Stearns of New
Hampshire, son of Frank Stearns,
longtime friend of the late Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge. One of Sen
ator Bridges seconders was former
SCliopOl SCol AbOoCo Va 4NC"
Hampshire, one time permanent
chairman of Republican National
Convention.
Bridges Struggle Cited.
In nominating Senator Bridges,
Mr.. Stearns told the delegates his
candidate was man of ''deLcrmina-
ton. spunk and ability"
The country at this moment is
in desperate need of leadership" Mr..
Stearns said. I'VE feel that this son
of New England is the embodiment
of those American virtues OF which
We are proudest, and which we feel
can combat the flabbiness and cynic-
ism which has been weakening our
national stamina. 1t needs the ex-
perience of a man who has had to
struggle for everything he got"
There was no demons ration for
Senator Bridges, except cheering by
some of the delegates in their places,
and the convention went to the

Waterway proposition and said it
was not waterway proposition, but
a power proposition whereupon the
politicians of the country gasped at
his bad politics and the country,
hearing of it, pinned new wings of
courage on their hero.
He declared bluntly and publicly
for giving every legal aid to the
Allies instead of mouthing it or
muffing the question. At his press
conference yesterday, which was
jammed pack in his tWo-room suite,
he answered every question without
weasel words promptly and politely
with absolute candor Indeed, the
questions and answers formed sort
of heroic dialogue not unlike
grand opera libretto. 1t was that
heroic and dramatic Mr.. Willkie
emerged as sort of Siegfried. 1t
was Strange-and funny.
Mr.. Willkie may not be nominated.
The possibility of his nomination
became obvious yesterday. 1t is
almost probable. But after all, this
is Republican convention and Re-
publican delegates are supposed to
be immune to public sentiment and
tradltionally hostile to messiahs.
Yet Mr.. Willkie has walked into this
Republican picture with all the
opulence and glory of Father Divine.
To-day the Platform Committee
report stands in the shadow COM
pared with the amazing probability
that this man, who was registered
Democrat five years ago and seven
years ago contributed to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund, will be NOM
mated in Republican convention.
And despite the fact that he favors
aiding the Allies, he is gaining
strength as the peace candidate.
Again it's Father Divine and Peace,
it is wonderful"

Formers Urged To
Arrdnqe Insurance

Since no applications for win
ter wheat crop insurance will
be accepted after this week,
Chairman George Miller of the
Big Horn County Agricultural
Conservation committee urged
all farmers to plan to plant
any winter wheat for harvest in
1941, to arrange for insurance
Immediately.
Those who will grow spring
wheat exclusively we're asked to
keep in mind that insurance at
present is low in cost, since
the present market price of
wheat is low. Farmers in Big
Horn county can insure their
average acreage production of
11.6 bushels for about 70 cents,
it was pointed out.
Wheat growers whose major
crop is spring wheat, but who
plant small acreages of winter
wheat were informed that to
obtain a crop insurance policy
on all of their acreage they
must apply before August 81.
A spring wheat producer with
winter wheat planted will be
able to obtain a policy on his
spring wheat up until February
%, the closing date for spring
wheat crop insurance, but the
production from his winter
wheat will be figured in his
total production. However, he
cannot receive coverage on his
winter wheat unless he applies
before August 81.
