FEW CHEERS LEFT FOR NOMINATION Lung-Wcary Crowd Leaves ‘Before Moses Adjourns Session. BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON. Associated Press S KANSAS CITY. June 15.-—Hoarse fronr-shouting. leg-weary from stum- bling through narrow, congested aisles, ear-weary from oratory and just plain convention tired. hot and sticky, It was with hardly the spirit left to raise a cheer that the Republican national con- vention of 1928 set the formal seal of its approval on Herbert Hoover as its chosert leader last night, just in time to escape Friday and its traditions and superstitions of bad luck After days of doing almost nothing &ince it pushed its way into Convention Hall 1ast Tuoesday, the assemblage which is the four-y mainspring of party energies crowded into one day and night of almost continuance session virtually 8l! of the business it had to do. Once given the chance to say its own say e to platform dispute of rival presi- dential - nomination aspirants, the Hoover host trampled all opposition un- der foot so overwhelmingly on every is- sue that it seems dubious that enough pieces could bé picked up today to put togéther a runninz mate for the Cali- fernian out of the convention circle itself, Session Cut Short. And wtih that done, the convention hustled to hotel beds or waiting sleepers bent nn a long sleep. It didn't even wait to hear Chairman Moses rat- tle away an adjournment formula that stands in the minutes as a duly taken vote, but which was in reality just an arbitrary cutting short of proceedings by the gingeryv New Englander, who has aiready built himself a reputation as ringmaster of a national political con- vention Let nobody get the impression that the convention did not get its fill of noise and action when it got back from dinner yesierday and selected its presi- dential candidate. The row it kicked up over Hoover's name must have set that | worthy's ears tingling with pleasure as he was listening in. And who in his position would not have been? That moment, with its certainty of the solid indorsement the convention would give him to back up its vocal tribute once it came down to voting, marked the high point of the spectacular career of the sturdy-shouldered Californian. Very few of America’s millions can ever know any such moment as that. Moses and his gavel notwithstanding, it took time and patience to reach the actual vote. The Hoover double demon- stration, of course, took up a lot of space. It was done with zest and finish both times his name was chanted by big-voiced John McNab of San Fran- There was nothing lacking, al- though everybody knew days ago just what was going to happen.

At one time he demanded: “If they as| for bread, shall we give them a stone?"” (Alluding to the farmers) And a lot with great enjoyment, shouted, “No, no, no!"” Some delegates began to heckle the speaker, buf what they said couldn't be heard. A yellow balloon was thrown in the al: by some of the folk from Wash- ington State, and it burst with a loud “Plop!" The speaker paused once to warn the hecklers that if they didn't keep quiet he'd speak all night. He finally said he had two more paragraphs, and the audlence yelled. Nebraska was reached on the roll of States, and Senator Norris' name put forward. Former Representative Ralph Cole of Ohio provided some fine enter- tainmen’ with able assistance by the galleries, which heckled him without merey for a while.

Above the roar of applause his voice could barely be heard as he announced the recess of the con- vention until 12 o'clock today. Tabby No Re!e;e;m, vé Sex. From the finder Magazin A tabby was originally a brindled or striped cat. The word is derived from Attabieh, a section of Bagdad formerly noted for the manufacture of watered or moire silk. This silk has an andu- liating or wavy surface produced by pressure after dampening and heating In England such silk was calied “attabl,” of which “tabby” is a cor- ruption. Certain striped cats were called tabbles from their supposed re- semblance to attabi silk. Strictly speak- ing, “tabby” has no reference to the |sex of the animal. In modern usage, however, the term is applied to a female cat. Sometimes it is applied to cats in general, just as Dobbin is applied to horses. in three smart styled money saving groups Here is one of those once- in - a - great - while oppor- tunities to buy a well tai- lored Suit far below actual worth.
