SMITH ALSO GETS ROUSING WELCOME Hundreds of Supporters Were Packed Into Hall to Boost Him.—Speech Made by Franklin D. Roosevelt Madison Square Garden, New York, June 20.—A1l set for a demonstration for Alfred E. Suitth, the Democratic National Convention today opened up with a new demonstration for ffm. O. McAdoo. Smith rooters and boosters had been ' packed into the hall by the hundreds, and the plan as arranged was for Connecticut to yield to New York for the nomination of Governor Smith. But when the convention got under way, Governor Sweet, of Colorado, was recognized, and delivered n seconding speech for McAdoo. Immediately the smoldering embers of yesterday’s demonstration fpr McAdoo sprang to life, and the McAdoo demon stration was on anew with, fresh vigor and force after an overnight rest. State standards were rushed into the aisles at the head of a pushing, milling column of McAdoo boosters, who pushed and wormed their way through the hun dreds packed there for Smith, with sortie difficulty, but no disorder. The Smiht rooters packed up against the rafters iu tile upper galleries like sardines is a box. let out a few howls of ‘Oil, oil." From the flooc the New York delegation signalled to. the galleries tp be quiet, but the.Biuitb rooters there wege champing on the bit and rearing to go. Chairman Walsh rebuked the noise makers and got a round of applause. The New York delegation as if disclaiming responsibility for the rumpus in the gal leries, stood up in a testimonial of ap proval for Chairman Walsh. This was another day of tumult and fervor interspersed with oratory. .Only three nominations had been made yester dny when adjournment ended the one hour demonstration staged in behalf of McAdoo, and about seventeen nomina tions remained on the schedule. The platform advanced early today by a drafting sub-committee to the point of being put into its first tentative form, but with the Ku Klux Klan and league of nations problems unsolved, is not to be taken up until all of the nominating sjteeches Lave been made. It is not even expected to be ready until tomorrow morning, and there was no way of know ing while the delegates assembled today, whether the platform comittee would be able to eliminate all of the explosive! elements that might hurl the convention ! into a turmoil of bitterness. Mrtdison Square Garden, New York, | June 26.—Four years ago in the Demo- j eratic national convention at .San Fran-: cisco, a vigorous young man in the flow er of his youth seconded the nomination of Governor A1 Smith, and won for] himself the vice presidential nomination. | Today'the same young man still rich j in the vigor of his mind, but fighting gamely against the creeping inroads of infantile paralysis, was assisted to the platform in Madison Square Garden to nominate the Governor of New York for the Presidency. He was Franklin D. Roosevelt, former assistant secretary of the navy, and manager of Governor Smith’s campaign/ He stood in the place of the late W. Bourke Oockran, now gone'to his and whose brilliant oratory of four years ago still was fresh in the ’minds of (he delegates. With n husky negro on one side and a 200-pound negro policeman on the other. Mr. Roosevelt was virtually carried up the stairway leading to the speaker's platform and placed in a ctair. Bnt he was laugliing and smiling gamely all the time, and when the effort was over the policeman stood beside Mr. Roosevelt’s chuir and applauded. v And then, when the course of the roll call for the nomination of candidates, (Connecticut yielded to New York, and the convention realized that the crippled but smiling young man on the platform was going to nominate Governor Smith, a roar went up that fairly lifted the Mad ison Square Garden roof. , With the assistance of the men about kirn Mr. Roosevelt lifted himself to his feet on his crutches and made his why to the speaker’s desk with effort and prob ably pain, propped himself against the 1 table, and laying aside his crutches be gan bis address. The roaring demonstra tion continued until Mr. Roosevelt him self quieted it. American Rifle Team Wins.

Having given a renewed but brief demon stration for Wm. G. McAdoo, the demo cratic national convention today plunged into a rip-roaring demonstration for Al fred E. Smith that was going on unabat ed more t-han ah hour after it started. Like the principal McAdoo demonstration of yesterday, the Smith demonstration was aided and pushed along by a com plete organization of demonstrators, hun dreds of whom marched into the - hall from the outside, bearing banners and noise making devices. Galleries and guest sections obviously filled with friends of the New York Gov ernor for today’s event, let out a con tinuous series of yells, howls and whistles. No sooner had Franklin D. Roosevelt fin ished his speech placing the New York Governor in nomination than the racket broke loose. Bauds, rooters armed with megaphones, cheer leaders, singers and others with all the equipment of profes sional demonstrators, burst out into the j jammed aisles and began a procession i about the hall. From points of observa- Ition on the speaker’s stand it appeared that probably half the delegate space wa» | taking part in the demonstration, either I by contributing to the marching parties ! which bore various state standards, or I by standing on chnirs and waving flags and joining the cheering. The other section of delegate space, , apparently interested in looking at the ! show, stood up, but gave no evidence of I joining. In the machinery of the dem j onstration about every device seen here tofore and some new ones appeared. Children as young as three and four years were used. Some of them were dressed as ragamuf fins, others as newsies, and all of them had automobile license plates hung around their necks bearing the words “All Sirtith.” Fathers who presumably had rented the children out for the occasion, tried to balance some of them on the high rail about the speaker's stund, fifteen feet above the floor, with the result that the youngsters were scared to death and bel lowed lustily. After son* experiments, ; the children were removed. Although ■ state standards were carried in the pro cession, the delegate spaces remained well r filled while it vtas going on. The galler i ies, the professional demonstrators, and the rooters who had been packed into the galleries up -under the roofs, and into , every nook and cranny on the floor, made [ the bulk of the noise, and at times ac esass==^ i . , REPUBLICANS PLAN ATTACK ON SOUTH ; Will Center Attack Here in Effort to i Elect Congressmen in South.

As Hie demonstration passed the three quarter hour mark, the din seemed to increase rather than decrease. Mr. ‘ Roosevelt remained at the speak ers’ stand, supporting himself with his arms, and waving to the passing inn reb el's during mast of the parade. Then two men helped him to a seat. While the show went on, he refreshed himself with a light lunch breght from the res taurant baek-Ntage. When the demonstration had reached an hour’s duration R wns going as strong as ever. Through the center aisle an enormous bouquet of flowers, carried above the heads of the demonstrators, was sent to the. platform to Mr. Smith who wgs in a box with Mrs. Itooseyelt at the rear | of the ball near that occupied by Mrs. McAdoo. At the hour and a quarter mark Mr. Roasevelt waved to his lieutenants on the floor to quiet the demonstration. Senator Wailsh began hammering with the gnvel and Mr. Roosevelt was lifted up beside him. Supported on his crutches, he raised a hand for silence, and slowly the great hall began to quiet down. Anna Case was brought to the froitt of the platform nnd brought the crowd at last to. complete order by singing the Star Spangled Banner. After some difficulty order was restored, and Chair man Walsh directed the secretary to con tinue with tjie call of the roll. Dele ware was next in line and Senator Bay ard took the speakers’ stand to nomi nate Willard Saulshury, former Dela ware Senator Florida was next on the list, but it yielded to Missouri, and Chas. M.

I IRELAND TRIES TO REGAIN ITS EXPORT EGG TRADE , [ During I*2l Eggs Chickens and Feathers 1 Worth $50,000,000 Were Exported. (By the Associated Press.) Dublin, June 26’. —Patrick Hogan, the free State Minister of Lands and Agn culture, has introduced into the Dial a . bill to regulate the export of eggs. Eggs 1 are one of the most important of Irish exports, and the industry has recently . shown signs of deterioration. In 11)21 Ireland exported $50:000.000 worth of eggs, poultry and feathers, the value of , tlie export being second only to that of ; cattle. [ For the (tear ended Mareh 30. 1024, the' . Free State export of eggs was only about 1 \ $17,000,000. Part of the diminutiton is j | attributed to a fall in priees and the ex , pansion of opportunity for continental 1 - competitors since the \vygr. Before the ' wor-the - Irish export was mure tlnul. All | per cent greater than the Danish. Now it is less. Under Mr. Hogan's bill all eggs for export must be collected in premises reg istered by the ministhry of agriculture, tested and graded under official, supervis ion and ]>acked in standard boxes. It is hoped by abolishing defective packing i and grading to double the Irish egg ex -1 port. NO OFFICIAL PART FOR U. S.
