UP
Claude O. Bower* of New York, tem
porary chairman and. carefully delect,
ed keynote speaker, touched off a
veritable powder key of Democratic
enthusiasm. He tore mercilessly at
the record of two Republican admin
istrations, those of Harding and Cool
idge, to sweep his auditors in the
crowded pavllllon into outbursts of
applause as he went down the line
on the oil scandals, farm legislation,
fake prosperity, unemployment and
all the other allegations of Republican
misrule, upon which the Democrats
ptopose to base the light tor election
of their presidential ticket.
Senator Joseph T< Rdpinson, of
Arkansas, assailed the Republican ad
ministration of the last seven years,
warned against inclusion of a wet
plank in' the Democratic platform,
and made a bid for farm support in
his speech .accepting the permanent
chairmanship of the Democratic na
tional convention here today.
In addition to Governor Smith, sev.
en other candidates were presented
formally Wednesday night for the con
sideration of the convention.
They were:

memorial resolutions of respect to
^oth men.
Josephus Daniels, former Secretary
o: the Navy, read the resolution on
Bryan, pointing out that for the first
time in 62 years a Democratic con
vention met without the presence of
the Commoner. ,
Charles R. Greathouae, of Indiana,
presented the resolution on Marshall

St Louis, entered the Houston Hits
today to supplement the League of
Women Voters, the National Woman's

The fair complexion of Democratic
harmony broke out with a crash at
the second day's session,, but the dis
ease was Checked without serious re"
suits.
, A demonstration for Governor Al
fredIE. Smith, set off by the speech
of Senator Robinson, of Arkansas
permanent chairman, at the first ses
sion Wednesday, precipitated counter
fights in Southern anti-Smith delega
tions In various parts of the conven
tion hall. The antf-Smith majority
in these delegations forcefully con
tested attempts of a few Smith men
to carry the State banners into the
parade, which moved jubilantly up
and down the aisles.
The North Carolina and Tennessee
delegations were there in front
W O Saunders, a Smith delegate,
seised the North Carolina banner and
tried to push into the parade with

No soonei A this row been Quell,

Former Mayor Crump, of Memphis,
reached for the Tenneesee banner.
His effort to take it was resisted by
several other members of the delega
tion. Crump, a stocky man, finally
got possession and rushed, like a
plunging full back, through the line
of protesting delegates aad severaL
policemen. The officers started afterA
him, but he eluded theta and the ban-f
