not adequately describe the man
ner,, in which we were showered
with offers of sleeping quarters,
banquets, movie passes and other

man Robert E. Hannegan of the
Democratic National Committee
tonight formally called the par
ty's Presidential nominating con
vention to convene in Chicago at
11:30 a. m., Wednesday, July 19.

dent Roosevelt will be renomina-j
ted by acclamation and that there
will be little controversy over the'
Vice. Presidential choice and the
party platform.
The Republicans will gather in
Chicago on June 26 to select

the session.

at the Democratic. Inasmuch as

thirds rule in 1932, only a bare
