Reverent Tributes Are Paid to Long Party Services of Bryan and Marshall BANDS PLAY HYMNS AS CROWD STANDS First Convention in 32 Years Not Attended by Great Commoner. RY JAMES L. WILLIAMS, Associated Tress Staff We.ter. HOUSTON, June 28 Democrats seeking a presidential candidate trooped to this southern national convention auditorium last night to listen to the praises of favorite sons of four States, but still convinced that all the oratory that could be brought into play would not prevent the quick selection of Alfred E. Smith of New York, once the balloting got under way.

Chairman Robinson rapped for order fit 7:31 p.m. As he ordered the delegates out of the aisles, the nominating speakers were waiting for their turns at the microphones. Robinsons manner of obtaining order was very peremptory and his voice showed that he intended to carry the convention along as fast as possible. Prayer Is Offered. After a few minutes jumbling about the delegates quieted down and Right Rev.

Mgr. G. T. Walsh of Houston offered prayer. His prayer was of less than 50 words.

At the instance of Charles A. Greathouse of Indiana the convention adopted a resolution of appreciation for the services to the party of the late Vice President Thomas R. Marshall. The convention stood in silence while a band played "Nearer, My God. to Thee." When the convention had paid its tribute to Mr.

Marshall. Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy, took the stand to offer a resolution I 1n eulogy' of William J. Bryan. He asked that the convention pause to honor the Commoner who had spent so many years of his life in the service of his party. Bryan's Absence Noted.

"For the first time in 32 years a Democratic convention meets in which William Jennings Bryan is not Mr Daniels said "Four years ago at Madison Square Garden. Mr. Bryan said 'This is the last convention at which I shall be We meet tonight in fulfillment of that prophecy. "No man in his generation left so deep an impression on the conscience of the Nation as Mr. Bryan.

Os the prohibition amendment he might well be called the To do honor to the memory of Mr. Bryan, the convention again rose en masse and stood in silence "Rock of Ages" was played softly by the band in the south end of the hall.

Crisp, of Georgia, took the stand to present the name of Senator Walter F.

George. Mr. Crisp pleaded for the support of other Southern States, for Senator George, reminding Alabama that when she had a favorite son, Georgia had stood by him. He referred to the can- cUriary 'of Oscar W. Underwood four years ago.

The Georgian got his first real applause when he said there had been but two 'moral before the coun- try since its and prohibition. Sees Moral Issue Raised. is a moral he said, "and the Democratic party must not compromise on that question. The gentleman I am going to nominate is in favor of the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act and will not compromise that great moral question. It is better to be true to your ideais than to vield to The dry delegates throughout the hall applauded and there was some cheering, brief and scattered.

When the nominating speech was concluded. the Georgia delegation stood, and with a big picture of their eandi- date attached to their State standard, started a parade around the hall The standards of Florida and Alabama fell into line. 41 Members of the three delegations all had been equipped with small American flags, and some of the Georgians also lugged along a 30-fool banner, sup- ported high above their heads on two wooden standards, reading. "The Con- nutation, it must be perhaps the most famous words of Andrew Jack- Kon. The alternate standards of the three States, as well as those in their delegate spaces, were out in the parade, and as it progressed it was Joined also bv the standards of Nebraska and North and South Carolina carried by i anti-Smith delegates from those States.

Southern Tunes Played. The band played a quick step made up of a variation of Southern tunes as the parade wound round and round the hall. The convention officials made no effort to stop the noise. The parade was led by Ralph Rosser of La Favethe. an alternate.

Es- forts were made by the Georgia boost- ere to get Tennessee to join them but delegates from that State refused to do so. explaining that they had a cancJSdate of their own. Among the Georgia enthusiasts who paraded, waving an American flag and shaking a rattle, was William Harris, George's colleague in the Senate. Get riendly Assistance. Evidently most of the anti-Smith people were doing all they could to help matters along for the Georgian, and even a group of MaraeliMseltS dele- gates, ail last-ditch Smith supporters, went into a huddle and wave three good-natured cheers lor "George of Georgia After more than 15 minutes of demonstrating, Chairman Robin von hanged down his gavei and the convention bands stopped shotl.

i DEMOCRATS FOCUS ON FARMS AS ISSUE Outburst During Keynote Address Taken to Mean Drive on West. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Special Dispntch to The Star. HOUSTON, June Smith Democratic convention at Houston means to say that the barnyards of the corn belt are every bit as dear to its heart as the sidewalks of New York. That is the construction 1 put upon one demonstration staged Tuesday night in honor of Claude G.

Bowers, temporary chairman. The keynoter, brilliant and forceful I as he was throughout his address, scored signally only when he was dealing with "the tragedy of the It was when Bowers said the Demoj cratic party "demands that the hand of privilege shall be taken out of the pockets and off the farmers' that the convention let it- i self go. Usually such demonstration are re- served for men placed in nomination for President and Vice President. A platform utterance, no matter how effective, seldom sets the bands to play- ing, the calcium lights to dancing and I the State standards to parading. Yet thrust at, assault on agriculture did just those things, if it was not an organized outburst as some cynics are suggesting It was about as remarkable a manifestation as convention annals know.

Points to One Issue. Staged or spontaneous, the convention tumult over the farm-relief business tells one undeniably significant story. It means that the Democrats are going to bracket agricultural dis- i tress with Republican corruption as the twin issues on which they will try to win the country. In other words. A1 Smith is not going 1 to depend for victory on the wet urban I industrial East and the solid South.

He is going to carry the war into the heart jof the corn belt. Confidentially, Demo! cratic leaders at Houston admit that the convention and its platform will make a deliberate in agriculture's direction. They will go practically the full length of a liberalized relief program i in all but actual McNary-Haugen terms. I managers realize the danger of going further than the financial East would approve, strategic as it might be from a cold-blooded standpoint in the West. Democratic hopes do not extend to any belief that rock-ribbed Republican States like lowa.

Indiana and Illinois, with their normally heavy G. O. P. majorities, can be captured by a supergenerous farm program. But the Dtm- ocrufs do pin some confidence on smaller agricultural States, like the Dakota-.

Montana, Idaho. Wyoming, Utah, Oregon and Nebraska. Looked pon as Debatable. These embittered regions are looked I upon as battlegrounds. When Bowers exclaimed that his party "proposes to tear down the system of privilege ami put the farmer on an absolute equality with every other industry." the key! noter had half a dozen rural States in mind, which lie Democrats are going to do their toughteat to carry in November.

Gray Silver of West Virginia, chief of its convention delegation and for- merl.v the well known spokesman of' i the American Farm Bureau Federa- tion at Washington, is confident that Houston will write farm history of high value to the Democratic party. I "We do not face an insurmountable problem." he said to this writer. "Other I countries, notably Canada and Australia. as I know from eye-witness observation, have come to grips with it and settled it. What Canada and I Australia are doing the United States can do.

But it will not be done until the Democratic party does it. Current history on the Potomac lias demon- I strated that to the complete satisfac- lion of every farmer in the country will vote accordingly in many pivotal regions next Fali and the Hous! ton ticket should beuefit substantially from bis Effect oil Second Choice. Agricultural considerations will have much to do with Houston's choice of a running mate for A1 Smith. Just tile Republicans at Kansas City went West for a vice presidential nominee, so the Democrats at Houston will do. In their case it may be a man who hails from both West and South Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, re- mains the man thought best to meas- me up to this dual geographical re- quirenieiit.

Like Temporary Chairman Bowers, Robinson, in his speech accepting the permanent chairmanship of the convention. spoke forcefully about farm relief. farmers of the Nation ate awake to the issue," said Robinson. "They are ready, if afforded the opj portunity to safeguard their own in- terests through political action." That observation by Robinson is transparent proof of the Democratic illingness to accord agriculture chance for which he says it only awaits. Tile Houston convention is partic- ularly hopeful that the farm folks are listening in over the radio.

The decision to have Claude G. Bowers spell- i bind his keynote address at night in- stead of bv duy was taken with a special regard to agriculture broadcasting fans.

On that score it is worth pointing! out that the convention managers! especially the Smith people, are deeply interested in having the air audience receive an impression of decorum, dignity and harmony at Houston. They know what the Madison Square Garden melee in 1924 did, as a result of the country's minute by minute observation of its discordant progress. It gave millions of voters the impression ttial the Democrats being unable to govern in their own convention could not be expected to do much better at Washington.

The wave lengths will carry another impression from Houston, if all goes well. Foundryman Dies at Desk. SpecUt to The Star. LYNCHBURG. June 28 Samuel Harriss.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. June 29 A rather diffident chnp, who has the knack of knowing how to make a rousing speech, is Claud" G. Rowers, the keynote speaker at the Democratic convention at Houston Tuesday. Bowers, an edi orial writer on the New York Evening World, was virtually unknown to the democracy of the country at large until at the Jackson day dinner at in January he took his hearers by storm with a fiery speech on the vigorous character of Andrew Jackson.

Once Ran for Congress. Bowers is no newcomer to politics. Years ago. when ne resided in Indiana and was running for Congress. John E.

Lamb, a political leader of southern Indiana, referred to him as "the fairhaired boy of But Bowers lest the election. father died when he was very young and as a lad he sold papers to earn a few pennies He never went to colkge. but today holds honorary degrees from some of the most prominent universities. His greatest feme hitherto probable i has been as an author. His books are Party Battles of the Jackson Period "Jefferson and and others of a historical nature.

Secretary to Kern. Bowers did some newspaper writing at high school and started his active newspaper career on the Terre Haute Star. He left newspaper work to become secretary to the late Senator John Kern. When the latter was defeated for re-election. Bowers returned to Indiana and became editor of the Port Wayne Journal-Gazette.

His work there attracted the attention of the Evening World and he was offered the New York position. His greatest characteristic perhaps is his shyness. Friends tell of the time he was sent by the Indiana Democratic State committee to make a speech in a strange city. A band and a reception committee was at the station, but no one paid any attention to the rather retiring sort of person who disembarked from the train and took a taxicab to the hotel. The committee later called at the hotel to examine the register and not until after the meeting, where he made a rousing address, did they seem convinced that Bowers really was their speaker for the Sunday Excursion $3.50 Philadelphia $3.25 CHESTER $3.00 WILMINGTON AND RETURN SUNDAYS, July 1, 15, 29 SPECIAL TRAIN Leaves Washington a m.
