credentials and on permanent organization to arrive at unanimous opinions and there were minority reports from both com-' mlttees brought to' ths floor of ths convention the vote of the various members of the committees Indicating very clearly Just where the strength or weakness of the leading candidate lay In the committees with on vote from each state it was very evident that Governor

being uninstructed Long won The minority report the adoption of which would have unseated his delegates was defeated by a vote of 638 to 514 At the suggestion of Senator Barkley the oratory had been confined to the Louisiana contest and ha alas suggested that the conventloa dispose of that case before the delegates had "perpetrated" upon them ths oratory In ths Minnesota contest The speech making

the first course of dinner on a warm evening than fruit cocktail We do not refer to the liquid cocktails made of fruit juices or tomato though these are also acceptable as the first course of luncheon or dinner during warm weather We mean the sort of cocktail that is made of diced or cut up fruit and served in long-stemmed sherbet glasses One good fruit cocktail is diced canned pineapple diced fresh peaches and oranges This should of course be well chilled and slightly sweetened athough the pineapple Juice and the sweetness of the other fruit may make it sweet enough Diced watermelon added to any fresh-fruit cocktail is good Oranges peaches and watermelon make a good combination If the cocktail tastes flat add a little lemon juice Another thing to add flavor is a small sprig of mint The juice from a bottle of maraschino cherries also makes a pleasant addition to a fruit cocktail Add a little shaved Ice to give extra attractiveness to your fruit cocktail Bananas are always good in fruit cocktail Orange banana and plums combine well The plums should be skinned and diced Big stewed prunes tender and flavorsome may also be cut up into fruit cocktail combinations of oranges bananas and grapefruit Apples diced are good In cocktails Like bananas they should be prepared Just before serving for they blacken if exposed long to the air (C 111 McClure Nevepper Syndicate) (WNU Srrloe)

Bearers for National Race By WRIOHT A PATTERSON The democracy of America met in national convention In this city and at the end of six days and two nights of strenuous labor had selected Gov Franklin Roosevelt of New York as Its candidate for President Speaker John Garner of Texas as its candidate for vice president adopted a platform one plank of which provides for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and the Immediate modiflcatlon of the Volstead act to permit the sale of beer and light wines listened to the speech of acceptance by Its candidate for President and adjourned The above paragraph tells the news of the Democratic convention It tells what was presumably dons In the convention hall but no news paragraph can glvs the reader a picture of a national political gathering nor can that picture be painted with only the Ingredients found In a convention hall Both national conventions of this year consisted of a gathering of 2908 delegates and alternates men and women from every state In the Union and from every outlying possession Quite naturally they felt they were at Chicago representing the sovereign will of their party members In their respective districts and sat In the convention in the glare of the spotlights for that purpose But of ihat 2808 men and women less than one-fourth actually had a voice in deciding what would be done and the one-fourth diplomatically or sometimes brutally told the other 1500 what they would do A goodly percentage of the 2308 delegates and alternates did not know Just what It was all about On the floor of the convention about 00 per cent of the activities was bunk and ballyhoo noise and hysteria a useless effort to create sentiment fer or against this that or the other policy or this that or the other candidate The other 10 per cent consisted of the ratification of what had been accomplished by the leaders behind closed doors In committee meetings held In hotel room If It were not done in that way convention would never end and party government In America would be Impossible Conventions Much Alike That In brief is a picture of any national political convention and it was as true of the Democratic convention as of any other with the exception that the committees were In ne sense unanimous and there were minority reports presented from practically every one of them on practically every question of policy In the end however the wishes of the majority of each committee were ratified by the majority on the floor The ballyhoo of the convention waa particularly noticeable as It always has been at the tlme of presenting the names of candidates to the convention It began shortly before two Thursday afternoon continued until the adjournment at six began again at nine that night and continued without a break until four-thirty Friday morning For nominating speeches of which there were Roosevelt Smith Ritchie Traylor Garner White Byrd Reed and Murray 20 minutes each was allowed For seconding speeches of which there were more than 80 live minutes each waa allowed Following each nominating speech cams periods of carefully staged hilarity which was supposed to represent enthusiasm hut which In the majority of cases represented noise produced by the pipe organist with the aid of aU the loud pedals on the Instrument Gallery Always In Evidence The exceptions were the demonstrations for Governor Smith and Governor Ritchie In these demonstrations the unruly gallery gods took a hand and supplemented the noise made by the pipe organ To the gal lery gods these two candidates represented beer and beer to the galleries was the most Important subject before the convention The demonstration for Roosevelt lasted 45 minutes Then followed that for Speaker Garner participated In by the "Gray Mare band" of Dallas and a goodly number of Texans imported for the purpose Then came the naming of Governor Smith and pandemonium broke loose in the galleries as well ns with the Smith delegations They kept It up for one hour and two minutes the record for the convention That ended the afternoon Four hours gone and three of the nine names before the convention It began again at nine and through the long weary hours of an all-night session there was speech and ballyhoo speech and ballyhoo until four-thirty Friday morning when that part of the Job was completed and the roll as called on the first ballot for the candidate for President The result was: Roosevelt 606 Smith 201 Garner 92 White 52 Traylor 42 Byrd 25 Reed 24 Murray 23 Ritchie 21 Baker 8 Mr Roosevelt lacked 103 of the needed two-thirds to secure a nomination Two more ballots were taken without material change In the result and then at eight-thirty In the morning the weary crowd quit until eight-thirty Friday night Rooeevelt Wins Trades were made during Friday Speaker John Garner was assured of second place on the ticket If his delegates threw their votes to Roosevelt and the nomination was made on the first ballot taken at the Friday night session the fourth ballot of the convention Roosevelt receiving 945 votes Smith 190 with 12 votes scattered between Ritchie Baker White and Cox The Smith delegations stood loyally by their champion to the end and there was no motion to make the nomination of Mr Boosevelt unanimous At the Saturday session Speaker John Garner was chosen as the candidate for vice president At that session Mr Roosevelt who had reached Chicago by plane was present and was received with tumultuous enthusiasm He was officially notified of his nomination and made his speech of acceptance The convention opened at forty-five minutes late on Monday Ths stars of the first performanct were National Chairman Raskob making his last appearance Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation army and Senator Barkley temporary chairman In his opening address the subtle wit of the national chairman was Just a bit over the heads of his audience and did not produce the rip-snorting hilarity characteristic of a Democratic convention Senator Barkey was more to the liking of the delegates and the audience and his slaps at ths Republicans brought down ths house and created ths noisy demonstrations that made It look and sound like a Democratic gathering The crowd on ths opening day was not np to expectation Chicago did not treat their Democratic guests any better than they had treated the Republicans and a third of the seats In ths Stadium were vacant But Chicago knew ths fireworks would not start the first day Not In Evidence With the opening of the Tuesday session at 12:50 fifty minutes lata Chicago was all set to witness a real Democratic shindig There was ths promise of a scrap over contested delegations from Louisiana and Minnesota another over ths permanent chairmanship Walsh vs Shouss and a tMrd promised over tbs two-thirds rule JOHN GARNER man The Roosevelt majority wanted Senator Walsh ths Smith Ritchie Reed White Murray etc etc minority wanted Jouett Shouse of Kansas That "controversy" was productive of eulogistic oratory Ralph CL of Kansas eulogised Walsh while talking for Shouse and 3 Burns of South Carolina eulogized Shouse while talking for Walsh Then cams the former Democratic standard bearer John Davie who eulogised both 8house and Walsh though presumably talking for Shouse On tho roll call Walsh was elected by vote of 628 to 528 To complete the love feast ths elected and the defeated candidate had their picture taken together on the platform The expected fight over the rules did not materialise Governor Roosevelt had called a halt on tho effort to change the century-old rule of a two-thirds vote to nominate Altogether It was a mild affair No rip-snorting roaring Democratic demonstrations no fistic arguments no real entertainment for the Chicago audience that had purchased season tickets at prices up to $50 nothing to Indicate that It was a Democratic National convention In session Wet Chicago went to ths convention Wednesday night to help the wet Democratic majority put over Its wot plank It waa a roaring howling good-natured mob that crashed ths gates of ths Stadium to the extent of thousands and finally forced ths closing of tho doors to the exclusion ef large numbers who held legitimate tickets of admission Genuine Ovation for "A The one outstanding note of Wednesday night's tumultuous session was ths reception accorded Governor Smith when he took ths platform to speak for the majority liquor plank Ha waa the hero of the convention and regardless of tho fact that ho will not get their votes the Idol of nine-tenths of the delegates Deeplte every effort of the chairman to restore order that the business of the convention might be expedited the roaring howling marching demonstration for lasted fifteen minutes Ths dry had a hard time The gallery gods did not want to hear them and made that fact evident Despite every possible effort on ths part of Senator Walsh and all of the biting sarcasm he could put Into his denunciation of the behavior of the mob nobody was permitted to hear ths speakers supporting the plank presented by the minority But all ef tbs oratory whether beard or not did not change single delegate vote and the "dripping plank was adopted by vote of M4 to 2U Malted Hillc Bread THE WORLD'S RICHEST BREAD (Made with Bordens) Why?
