By early afternoon tomorrow, at the latest, the convention managers fully expected to adjourn after hav- ing put before the country a ticket composed of Smith of New York and Robinson of Arkansas, and a platform promising, among other thin, trict enforcement of the dry la ind a comprehensive program of farm relief. Today's opening session was give to a continuation of the long inter- lude of nominating speeches. It was the tentative plan to adopt the plat- form during the afternoon and to cast tonight the one ballot now con- sidered certain to result in the nom- ination of Smith. An overnight ad- journment is ex) before the se- lection of Smith's running mate. The whole performance today had about it a distinct air of anti-climax. There still was a lingering sibil- ity of a floor fight over the platform, but most of the leaders were confi- dent none would develop. Hall Half Filled The session began at 10:35. five minutes after the hour set. ator Robinson, the permanent chi man and leading candidate for the vice presidency, apparently was anx- ious to get on with the convention business. When he called for order only about half the delegates had arrived and there still were great blank spaces in the ¥ bleachers along ‘the sid of the hall. There wi fusion with late’ arri strugglit by the hundreds that even re orders by the chairman to the ser- geant-at-arms failed for a time to get the delegates into their seats and quiet. The chairman did not wait for or- der, but while the hall was still rumbling with conversation he pre- sented the Rev. A. Frank Smith of the First Methodist church of Hous- ton, who pronounced the invocation. The crowd stood, and grew more si- lent. Ritchie Seconds Smith Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, his state’s favorite son who withdrew just a few days ago in favor of Smith, made the first speech of the day, seconding the nomination of the New Yorker. He was given a fine ovation. The candidate whose cause he espoused was described by Governor Ritchie as a man possessing all o! the qualities of a great president. “Fate decreed for Governor Smith beginnings which were humble,” he said. “She moulded him ir. the fash- ion of a man, and he was destined to realize to their fullest d_ their richest degree the possibilities of America, of the land of opportunity. “Grover Cleveland said the whol art of government is simply applied common sense and common honesty, with reason, justice and tolerance as handmaidens. “Governor Smith possesses all these qualities. He is living proof that American democracy can pro- duce leaders simple ani yet great. TU believe that if every voter in the land could see him and hear him, and come under the spell of his per- sonality, there would be few who would. not. vote for him.” Gopher Seconds Al Another seconding speech for Smith was made by former mayor Peters of Boston who ole background of the New York governor was truly The Smith procession was con- tinued with a seconding speech .by Andrew Nelson, of Duluth, Minn.

Frazier certain, ] late today Western North Dakota was staging an old-time rally § to boost T. H. Thoresen and the League Republican candidates i for state office to victory. Returns from the western part of the state were steadily cutting the lead of George F. Shafer and indicated a relatively close finish in the classic race between Independent and League jf] groups for the Republican nomination for governor and other § state offices. ( While the Red River Valley and the state’s principal cities § sent Nestos, Shafer and their running mates out to the Mis- souri' Slope and the central part of the state with emphatic majorities, North Dakota’s political history was being repeated this afternoon as farmers “out where the west begins” began ij reporting from their precincts. The state’s constitutional prohibition law was challenged by a. big protest vote, but it was evident that it would fall far || short of the number necessary to repeal the dry law on the state’s statute books for 40 years. The vote for Thoresen and the state League ticket was | holding well up to that cast four years ago when Governor * Sorlie defeated R. A. Nestos. When 599 precincts had reported from the state’s 2,192 on the senatorial race Nestos’s lead over Frazier was little more than 6,000. George F. Shafer led T. H. Thoresen by a 15,000 . majority rapidly crumbling and 2,000 less than the 17,000 by which Independent candidates usualy come out of the Red River Valley and the state’s larger cities. catia a ip a f BULLETINS | __BULLETING 4 Trail county Independents won the house nominations, Carl E.
