These people might Just as
well have been in the open air
al A baseball game.
And yet, these two conven-
tons will make history.
In both conventions events
occurred which shape the destiny
Of our country.
In both conventions. old
parties were taken over by new
people.
The Republicans Of 1928 and
1892 have given way TO alto
gether a new element: the
Democrats of the South who
long controlled their party saw
themselves pushed aside by New
York, Chicago and Jersey City
bosses and by the Go.
And in all this, the thousand
delegates were helpless.
They had no voice and no de-
ciSlon.
They were chosen 10 represent
and could not represent those
who chose them.
