But Barkley Was Pretty Smart in Reviewing Mr. Hoover’s Promises, Says Col. Godfrey G. Gloom, Jeffersonian Democrat. BY ELMER DAVIS. 1 CHICAGO, June 28 (NANA).—| Godfrey G. Gloom, the old-fashioned | Hoosler Democrat, Wwas detected in the act of slipping out of the convention hall before Senator Barkley's remarks were_concluded. “What, Mr. Gloom” said the re- porter, “aren’t you going to, wait for the end of the keynote?” “Not this one’ said Mr. Giloom. “That is, not after waiting a couple of hours for it already. After all, this is the fifth keynote we've had today, if you count Comdr.

Cermak of Chxclga.‘ who stole the show when he appeared at the women's breakfast, looked a bit | startled when he heard of the plan, | but declared “it would be a wonderful idea and would help the ticket.” Mrs. Nellie loe Ross, vice chair- man of the National Committee, who | says she must not champion any can- didate, nevertheless believes that Mrs Greenway “is qualified by her ability and personality for any honor or re- | sponsibility the country chooses to give | her.” | Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank of Tilinois | thinks it would be grand, and Mrs William H.

For 2,800 women enthusiasm for the social prerogatives of their position temporarily eclipsed their _political duties as they got up to breakfast to- gether in the Stevens Hotel. From | there they scattered through the sta- | dium, some near the conspicuous seats of the Jeaders, some among the voting delegations on the floor, and others in the galleries, Breakfast the Big Event. But long before Comdr. Evangeline Booth of the Salvation Army, first woman to pronounce the invocation for a political convention, bowed her black- | bonnetted head in prayer, feminine Democracy in gala attire was hobnob- | bing over its coffee. The breakfast was the big soclal event of the conven- tion week. So eager were women to attend that the huge ball room was filled to overflowing and tables had to be_squeezed into corridors Mrs. Elizabeth A. Conkey, chairman of the Illinois Democratic Women's Convention Committee, which gave the breakfast, presided. The committee woman delegates and alternates were the honored guests. Soft Southern accents, which pre- | dominate among these Democratic women, hummed harmoniously as they agreed upon one thing—they must elect “he Democratic nominee as President, rdless of who is chosen. Nellie Tayloe Ross, present vice chairman of the National Committee, and Emily | Newell Blair, who formerly served in | that capacity, voiced this apparently unanimous sentiment. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the “great lady” of the convention crowd, is hold- ing herself aloof from the mass of delegates. (Copyright, 1932. by the North American Newspaper Alliauce, Inc.)

CHICAGO, June 28 (N.ANA.).—The click of Chairman Raskob's gavel had hardly ceased echoing in the great barn of the hall where the Democratic Na- tional Convention met before evidence began to pile up that the delegates are & wild, free people who have just come down from the trees and out of the woods. Evangeline Booth in her invocation prayer practically stole the keynoter's speech, and Mayor Cermak of Chicago | in welcoming the delegates proclaimed the slogan of the repealers and started the prohibition fight 48 hours in ad- vance of schedule. Then along came Temporary Chairman Barkley with the keynote speech, which declared that the Democratic party is not for free trade. Things were moving fast—fast but | free. No one seemed to have edited the prayers or the speech of the key- | noter of this convention. Sunday night the delegates went to bed feeling that it was all Roosevelt and that the Roosevelt program would prevail. Before the first session of the convention had adjourned it was evi-| dent that Rogsevelt scarcely could be stopped for the nomination, But that his managers already had abandoned ht for the full abrogation of the two-thirds rule; that he would have to take a conservative running mate, and probably could not get a liberal state- | | ment of the Rooseveltian position on power and the public utilities without & fight—possibly a serious fight —which may be led by former Senator Jim Reed on the floor of the canvention. Now, all this exploding dynamite has not been depth-bombs laid carefully by Roosevelt's enemies. As a matter of fact, the Roosevelt opposition. which controls at least one-third of the con- vention under the unit rule, has not met or formed any sort of alliance as these words are written Smith Making Lone Fight. Smith has been making a lone fight. | Garner forces, under the | So has Reed. leadership of McAdoo, have been obvi- ously juggling for position. The signs they make in the convention, inter- preted, seem to be an invitation for & | horse trade from the Roosevelt people. Tammany is & sphinx. Jim Reed is | holding the Missouri delegation to the last gitch for himself. He is entering into no entangling alliance, not even with Smith, who is the only openly fighting force in the convention. The Lewis boom in Iilinois and the White boom in Ohio have cracked open, | and Roosevelt seems to be the gainer the explosion. But the explosion came as the result of inner pressure, not through any fine work from the Roosevelt managers. Murray early passed outward with the tide, waving his supporters a Wweary good-by at the end of & reception in his headquarters and smiled as he exclalmed: “Well, T'll be with you in death as 1 was in life, as the bluejay said to the tomeat,” and_turning he trudged wear- ily from the hall into his bedroom, and 50 into oblivion This list of casualties set forth above is printed to show “the change and decay in all around we see” here on Michigan avenue after the first day of | the convention.

Curjously, the same course of nature which forced these candidates out of the combat is beginning in ex- actly the same way to resurge, forcing the fight on Roosevelt in the matter of the two-thirds rule and a liberal plat- form.

They don't take & set program here this week “Orders are not orders.” The externals of the two crowds differ, The Democratic crowd is more smartly dressed than the Republican crowd.

But these Democrats are waving the rainbow and flashing the aurora bore- alis along Michigan svenue with gaudy clothes and giddy badges, gorgeous banners and fluttering flags, so bnfln and festive that it looks llke some great municipal fair. Bands sud- denly come oozing out of the cracks of floors in the hotel lobbles and begin blaring. Along come gangs singing. Choruses chortle and quartets howl through the days and make the nights | uneasy. Yet it is a sober crowd. Both conventions were sober conventions, in that there were few souses. Compared with the conventions of 30 or 40 years zgo, this Democratic con- | vention. and naturally the eminently respectable Republican conventlon, look like gatherings of the Christian En- deavor. There is casual drinking in the rooms. Two of the hotels are sald to have official bootleggers who tap from door to door in the morning, | soliciting trade. “Buns” Are Rare. 1t 1s not hard to get a drink. Liquor prices are moderate. The. lubrication is fairly pure, but the drunk, the sloppy, noisy, weeping statesman stag- gering under & bun is rare. The times have improved, Liquor does not mean so much as it meant to the generation that nominated Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison. Probably more men talk more about booze and drink less than their fathers. At any rate these two conventions have been sober conventions as na- tional political conventions go. The presence of women probably has helped. There seem to be more women in the Democratic delegations on the floor than the Republicans had. But possibly this is because the Democratic call provided that at least half of the | delegates at large must be women. Their Influence is civilizing. Whether they affect the choice of candidates or | the formation of the platform makes little difference. They brighten up the crowds and give men something to think about besides their sorrows, and keep men’s feet in & fairly narrow path. Now, it is &s necessary to convey some idea of the color and tone of this convention as it is to report the pre- | liminary intrigues already tangling up the delegates. Probably some sort of a caucus of opposition leaders will as- semble before these words find their | It seems hard to rally Smith, who refused to pledge allegiance in advance to Roosevelt, i1s a belled cat.
