CHICAGO, July 1—Above the din of eheering marchers and the deep tones ©f a huge organ, the name of Albert C Ritchie rang thrcugh the stadium for 45 minutes early this morning when the Maryland Governer was placed in nomi- nation at the Democratic National Con- vention | Earlier last night there had been s | colorful demonstration for another one | of the National Capital's neighbors, for- mer Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia. Senator Millard E. Tydings of Mary- land had made the nomi:ating speech which placed Gov. Ritchie’s name formally before the convention and, as he finished on the stroke of midnight, there suddenly arose above the heads of wne dele scores of banners pro- claiming to the thousands who filled the galleries, extending to the vaulted ceil- ing, the “Win With Ritchie.” the parade was on, and hour the loyal followers s four-term Governor marched around the stadium, joined by the standards of a number of other States, the District of Columbia and two of the territories. Maryland's ban- ner had participated in Virginia's dem- onstration to Byrd and the sons of the Old Dominion reciprocated by taking part in the Ritchie parade. The District of Columbia took part in' both proces- jons. Virginia Band Falls in Tine. As Tydings completed his nominat- ing speech the powerful organ high up in the loft of the auditorium rang out with “Maryland, My Maryland.” From the passage way beneath the main plat- form the Richmond Blues, famous mili- tary band from Virginia, appeared and fell in line. _Gov. Ritchie was born in Virginia. The band also had headed the previous demonstration for former Gov. Byrd As the marchers swung around the cireuit of the floor, waving the Mary- land State flag and carrying large pic- tures of Gov. Ritchle, thousands of others in the balconies joined in the shouts of approval. The Maryland Governors popularity here was attested | by the. parade given in his honor when | he arrived for the convention nearly & week ago. The Maryland standard was carried | in the procession by Maj. E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring. _Other standards | which joined in the parade from time | to time included Mississippi, Illinois, | New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, | Towa, Texas, Virginia, the Philippines | and Alaska. [ It elimaxed s day of parading and | shouting by the hosts of demoeracy, | which began yesterday afternoon with demonstrations for Gov.

As the Ritchie parade progressed, Miss Frances Gobel of Baltimore stood on the speakers platform, garbed in a red, white and blue costume, represent- ing Miss Columbia. Mrs. W. Wallace Lanahan, also.of, Baltimore, was on the platform as cheer leader. One of the banners in the demonstra- tion, read: “Jefferson, Jackson, Cleve- land, Wilson and now, Ritchie.” It was| carried by Sidney R. Traub, city coun- selor of Baltimore. When the cheering and marching had finally ended, Richard F. Cleveland of Baltimore, son of Grover Cleveland took the platform to second the nomi- nation of Gov. Ritchie. | “If we had to characterize Gov. Ritchie in one word,” said Mr. Cleve- land, “that one word would be straight- forward.

Those Listless Paraders! "Col. Godfrey G. Gloom, Jeffersonian Democrat, Defines *“W holesome Apathy” Characterizing the Roosevelt Band Wagon. BY ELMER DAVIS. CHICAGO, July 1 (N.ANA).—God- frey G. Gloom, the old-fashioned Indi- ana Democrat, was discovered slipping out into the lobby of the convention hall just as Senator Connally arose to nominate Garner. ‘I don't care to hear Tom Connally,” said Mr. Gloom. “He's the fellow that quadrupled my income tax, and I'm afraid my judgment on any remarks of his might be biaced by that painful memory.” “What did you think of the Roosevelt demonstration?” the reporter asked “Not very much at first,” Mr. Gloom | confessed. ~ “Just a lot of fellows list- lessly dragging their feet around the hall and passing in review before Jim Farley on the speakers’ stand, makin’ sure he'll know their faces so they'll never have to pay cash for their tickets to boxing shows when they go to New York. “Wholesome Apathy.” “But preséntly I run into my old friend, Col. Sangaree, from Savannah He's for Roosevelt, of course, and he was feeling very good indeed about this demonstration. ‘Godfrey,’ he said, ‘did you ever see such a display of whole- | some apathy?’ “Somewhat surprised, I asked the colonel what he means by that ““Why,' he says, ‘when a lot of fel- lows are all boiling over with enthusi- asm about a candidate that don't mean fo much. But most of these fellows here, they're for Roosevelt, not par- ticularly because they want him, but because they think he's going to win And that's what counts,’ says Sanga- ree, ‘not the volume of shouting, but the number of votes. “‘A man might give up his personal convictions under pressure of circum- stances, but it's pretty hard to dislodge him when he thinks he’s on the band - s d 50 it may be,” Mr. Gloom con- tinued. “I noticed that when Judge Mack was placing Roosevelt in nomina- tion he practically called the roll of States that were for him—called it twice, once at the start and once at the finish. In between he bestowed some eulogies on the character and career of his candidate. But the great argument he wanted to pound in was that wh ever was for Roasevelt was for the wi | ner, and don't you believe that consid- eration won't have weight!” “What did you think of the plat- | form?"” the reporter asked “You may quote me as saying that I am still stunned.” Mr. Gloom observed “A short platform, a platform that means something, and a platform that says what J: means in no uncertain language.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 1.—Fred A.

As & mat- ter of fact, the Republican piatform is against nullification and calls for en- forcing the law while the issue is sub- mitted to the people.” “As far as I am concerned, I don't favor any independent candidate for President, though the _Anti-Saloon League would normally be affiliated with the prohibition party if it had a candidate in the fleld. I will advise my organization to spend its time, energy and money to elect a Congress fa- vorable to retention of the amendment.” | Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin, State president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, took a different view of Presi- dent Hoover's attitude toward prohibi- | tion, but declined to say what stand her organiaztion would adopt.
