C. Delegation Has Stir 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: Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri.

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 R ,R: EWdtt, who is pledged to Cordell Hull, tried to wrest it from him.

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 ner joined the others in the parade.
