*" ?
Chicago Stadium, July 18.? A
huge segment of the Democratic |
National Convention, balking to
night at President! Roosevelt's
choice of Henry A. Wallace for'
the Vice Presidency, loudly, wild
ly and legthlly applauded Paul V.
McNutt, Federal Security Admin-'
jj istrator, for that office.
And when McNutt placed in
'nomination against' his will, came
forward to withdraw his name, it |
'refused to lei him speak, begging
and imploring him to stay in the
race.
Only when Senator Alben W.
Barkley, of Kentucky, the conven
tion chairman, begged the crowd
to be quiet, reminding them that
the entire nation was listening,
' would it let McNutt proceed.
Standing at the lectern, tall and
bronzed, t-he perspiration stream-'
ing over his handsome features. I
; McNutt declared himself out of
; the race. But the sentence declar-i
I ing his Intention was all but lost
in the din of objection that was|
| raised.
To Follow President
"America needs strong, logical,'
liberal and able leaders in the|
kind of a world in which we live
today," he said. "We cannot take!
chances now. A nation only gets
one chance these days. If it makefe
a mistake, it is lost'. We must
have leaders who will keep this
country safe and free.
"We have such a leader in
Franklin Delano Roosevelt." He
is my commander-in-chief. I fol
low his wishes, and I am here to
support his choice for Vice Pres
ident of the United- States."
The crowd yelled its disappro
val of McNutt/s statement. Grave
ly he nodded his head and with
drew to the rear of the platform.
Wallace's Name Booeil ,
The opposition to Wallace was
otherwise expressed in prolonged
boos, and shouts of derision,
which went up in competition
with applause and t'he strains of
"Ioway, Ioway," every time Wal
lace's name was mentioned.
Administration leaders readily
admitted they were in for a battle
in their effort to obtain Wallace's
nominat'ion. Nevertheless they
claimed that they had enough
votes to do so.
"It looks like we've got a fight
on our hands." said Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida, admin
istration follower, after circulat
ing among the delegatoins. "This
may be an Indirect stop-Roosevelt
fight put pn by those discontented
persons who failed to do it direct
ly."
Related to Pepper's last' state
ment was word from the White
House that Mr. Roosevelt would
have to revise the address he has
prepared for delivery to the con
vention by radio if some one oth-|
er Mian Wallace was chosen.
In fact word spread through
the delegations that unless the
convention chose Wallace. Mr.
Roosevelt would refuse the nomi
nation for first place on the tick
Other* Nominated
The names ot Speaker Bank
head. Senator Alvah Adams of
Colorado. Senator Prentiss M.
Brown of Michigan, and Jesse
Jones, the Federal Loan Admin
istrator. were before tha conven
tion. in addition to those of
McNutt* and Wallace.
Jones had important support in
James A. Farley, the chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Evidence of considerable dis
satisfaction with the choice of
Wallace came ab the close of the
Bpeech nominating him when boos
loudly blended with cheers from
the audience.
From one section of the hall a
few wera calling: "We want a
Democrat." evidently referring to
Wallace's one-time affiliation with
the Republican Party.
F. D. It. Wires Byrnes
As delegations thronged to the
evening session. Mr. Roosevelt
sent a wire to his floor manager.
Senator James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina. It said:
I ? "lender normal circumstances.
I would have gone to Chicago in
person, but in these difficult days,
I must not. in the public Interest,
go so far away (from Washing
ton).
"I send my warm and affection-'
ate greetings to a Democratic ga
thering which appreciated to the
full the permanent) value of our
American institutions and our de
termination to preserve them for
generations yet unborn."

in the telegram, which was quick
ly caught' by convention observers.
It was that the President, upon
his acceptance, would do his cam
paigning mostly from Washington
? a figurative White House porti
co campaign.
In addition to the Presidential
address, the evening's schedule
Included an appearance by Mrs.
Roosevelt, who flew in from New
York to do, as she put it, what
ever Chairman James A. Parley
of the national committee, might
assign her to do. Report had it,
that she might make a brief ad
dress to the convention.
Mrs. Roosevelt on Hand
As the crowd gathered In the
stadium where hundreds of fans
were busy under the hot lights
above, Mrs. Roosevelti reached
Chicago by airplane. She told re
porters at the airport that she
could "not imagine anyone in the
world, as it is today, wishing to
carry the responsibility of being
head of a government'."
She had a broad smile for those
who had gathered to meet her,
which changed to seriousness
when a reporter asked about the
third term and she replied:
"It's not one's individual res
ponsibility ? mental and physical
responsibility? the responsibility
for the role one's country has in
the world today."
She had never asked Mr. Roose
velt, and he had never volunteer
ed any Information on his third
term plaus, ?he said.
Alabainians appeared on the
floor with huge placards saying
"Speaker Bankhead for Vice
President." Several members of
the delegation marched t-he signs
around aud around the hail.

Advertising, The
Builder
Of recent years iti has been the
fashion among radical reformers
to question the value of advertis
ing. The question is easily an
swered.
Nothing In the world sells un
til it is known. No successful
commodity blunders its own way
into a store and wait* until some
body by some strange chance
blunders Into buying it. says Na
tion's business. If merchants
and factory managers had not
hired salesmen, and had not plac
ed advertising. our America
would still be what it was in 1740.

National distribution, in its
simplest terms, means that you
can get your favorite foods, bev
erages. clothes, shoes, cigarettes,
soaps. cosmetics, books, maga
zines and all other manufactured
articles, wherever in the country
you are. Bringing this about, in
a country 3.000 miles wide, and
oncq apparently divided forever
by the Rocky Mountains, has been
no child's play. It would never
have taken place without' national
jadvertising.
Railroads aud steamship lines
and highways provided the means
of transport. But what is the use
of transporting goods from a fac
tory in Delaware to a store near a
family In Oregon If the. goods are
not known and. therefore, are not
bought?
. Advertising is the dissemina
tion of news about better and less
costly goods Mian people could
make for themselves at home.
