Appearing Before Convention And
Accepting Nomination ? Conven
tion Adjourned Saturday.
Chicago Stadium, July 1. ? Franlt
llm D. Roosevelt, Governor of New
York, was chosen overwhelmingly
tonight as the -Democratic nominee
for the Presidency.
With the force of a real stam
pede, he swept through the conven
tion as the favorite sons announced
one after another their withdrawal
from the race, and turned their
votes' Into the swelling Roosevelt
column.
He was declared the nominee on
the fourth balolt, the first taken to
night.
Garner as Mate.
Tomorrow the convention will
meet to nominate Speaker John N.
Garner, of Texas, for Vice-President.
When he released his State dele
gation just before tonight's session
met, that started the stampede that
swept across the excited stadium.
Governor Roosevelt sent a mes
sage to the convention announcing
he plans to fly here and appear be
fore the delegates tomorrow.
Setting off the tension of the eve
ning, William Glbbs McAdoo at the
very outset announced the shift of
the California vote? declaring "we
did not come here to deadlock this
convention."
McAdoo Cheered.
He was cheered to many a re
sounding echo by the hundreds of
Roosevelt supporters who from the
start here have given ovation after
ovation to the New York Governor.
For minutes another ^nd almost the
last of the wild succession of pro
cessions twisted in confusion past
the speaker's stand.
Alfred E. Smith was the only one
of the nine original candidates who
stayed In to the end. The Eastern
block of states with him steered
clear of the stampede, too, sticking
with Smith in the face of the sweep.
Associates of Smith said tonight
they did not believe he would sup
port the Democratic ticket in No
vember.
No Comment.
Smith heard the nomination ot
Roosevelt over a radio In his hotel
headquarters. He declined to com
ment.
"Do you intend to support the
nominee," he was asked.
"I have no comment to make," he
said.
As soon as the nomination had
been made, the next business ? nomi
nating a Vice-President ? became the
dominant topic. The plan of the
Roosevelt leaders is to meet at one
p. m. tomorrow to nominate Oarner.
Wet FUtform.
The ticket will go to the country
on the first oat and out wet plat
form of any party in the doien years
that the 18th Amendment has been
In effect. In line with Roosevelt'}
personal stand, repeal of prohibit
tlon is made the pledge ot the party
as against the Republican platform'
that promises submission of %n al
ternate amendment that wquld re
tain the federal police power over
the states for control of liquor.
In addition, the Democrats go for
Immediate modification of the Vol
stead Act to allow beer and wine.
The platform adopted this weak

rency and a balanced budget.

The Second Primary
Tbe second primary in Franklin
County passed off smoothly and quiet
ly Saturday, but with a display ot
the greatest enthusiasm on the part
ol the friends and supporters ot the
tcveral candidates.
The County was conceded to Rey
nolds and Fountain (or some time
rreforq the count but the friends ot
Morrison and Bhringhaus were hope
ful of building up a bigger rote than
was cast for them in the first pri
mary. This was accomplished, but
the leading candidates increased their
majorities.
in the County ticket Fenner N.
Spivey led the present encumbent,
Frank W. Justice, two hundred and
ninety one, although he was second
highest in the first primary.

Winner Of First Primary Wins

Drive Keeps 'Machine' Busy Sav
ing Ehringhaus From Defeat
Despite His Commanding Lead Of
47,000 In First Primary ?
Rbbert R. Reynolds Saturday won
the Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate by the largest
majority ever recorded in a Demo
cratic primary for a major office and
John C. B. Ehringhaus was nom
inated for Governor by the smallest
per centage on record.
Reynold's majority In excess of
100,000 was rendered eren more im- 1
pressive by the fact tt^at his oppo
nent, Senator CameroiTMorrtson, re
ceived the almost solid support of .
all State and county political lead
ers. ~ ' 1
Lieutenant Governor Rlcbprd T. ;
Fountain also performed a spectacu
lar feat when he reduced the 47,000 '
lead obtained by his oponent In the
first primary to approximately one
fourth of that figure. Ehringhaus 1
also received strong political sup- '
port and while the politicians .backed
him with less unanimity thaji they,
did Senator Morrison, they put much! 1
more fervor into his cause. Foun
tain had the almost insurmountable '
handicap of the tradition that the
leader in a first primary alto wins 1
In the second.
Apparently, both Ehringhaus and
Fountain profited from the fact th?t '
the administration headed by Q&r-i ,!
ernor O. Max Gardner was support- i
ing the former and was under at- !
tack by the latter candidate. Demo
cratic county leaders In the mosa
tala counties where Democrats and 1
Republicans have close contests and '
permanent Democratic organization* '
are maintained, rallied to, Ehring- J
haaa with the result, that those coun- j
ties held the balance of power id thcr 1

strong first primary lead ih Baw 1
