NOTIFICATION RITES BREAK PRECEDENT “Double-Program” to Be One of Most Spectacular in Country’s History. BY WILL P. KENNEDY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. | PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 26—A lceremony unprecedented in the his- tory of any political party will be staged spectacularly tomorrow night in Pranklin Field, where President Roosevelt will be formally notified of his renomination and Vice Presi- dent Garner will receive notification of his renomination. This is ex- pected to be one of the most vivid and colorful scenes of mass assemblage ever staged in this country. Not only will it be the first time the notification has taken place in this manner, but also the first time both candidates have been officially informed of the action of the con- vention at the same time and place. Not only will President Roosevelt and Vice President Garner be princi- pal attractions, there will also be a program of music and features by radio and stage entertainers, among which will be the Philco Men's Glee Club. Gates to Open at 5 P.M. ‘The gates are to be opened at § o'clock in order that ticket holders may be enabled to assemble confort- ably. At 6 o'clock the program by stage and radio artists will begin and con- tinue for about two hours. Then at 8 o'clock the famed Philadelphia Orchestra, with Lily Pons, the opera star, as soloist, will entertain the vast audience for an hour. The President will arrive by train from Washington about 9 o'clock. He will be met at the station by Vice President Garner and escorted to Franklin Field. Senator Barkley of Kentucky, tem- porary chairman of the convention, is to be introduced about 9:15 to notify Vice President Garner of his renom- ination. He will be followed by Vice President Garner in his speech of ac- ceptance. President’s Address. Vice President Garner will finish #0 that Senator Robinson of Arkansas, permanent chairman of the conven- tion, may be introduced about 9:45 to make the notification address to the President. The President is scheduled to begin his speech of acceptance at 10 o'clock. It will be broadcast on all systems throughout the United States.

CROSS SECTION OF THE CONVENTION. SEN. COPELANT Vallspinoza; Canal Zone, Mrs. L. O. Keen; Virgin Islands, Joseph Alex- ander. Lehman to Get Ovation. The convention doubtless will give Lehman himself a great ovation. Every possible pressure is being exerted upon him to give up his plan to retire from public life. His presence on the Demo- cratic ticket in New York would, the Roosevelt leaders believe, make the task of carrying the Empire State easier. Gov. Lehman, on the other hand insists that President Roosevelt will win in New York on his own record as Presi- dent of the United States. The “demonstrations” that have oc- curred in the convention during the last hree days are likely to pale into insignificance when the Democrats turn loose for Roosevelt. The nomi- nating and seconding speeches ‘will bring long cheers and long parades of the delegates about the hall. Having concluded these speeches and the demonstrations, the Demo- cratic delegates will then take a recess until 8 pm. At that time the ballot- ing will begin. It will require but a single ballot. An observer here recently ventured | the prediction that “if Roosevelt is not nominated on the first ballot, he will not be nominated.” The answer is that Roosevelt will of course be nomi- nated and that it will not take a sec- ond ballot. i Smith Not Expected. Al Smith, bitter foe of Roosevelt, although he is a delegate to the na- tional convention, elected in his old home district in New York, is not coming to the convention, it is re- ported. His alternate, who may vote in his place when the roll is called, Roosevelt. The appearance of Smith in this convention, if he came here, would be dramatic. It might also be embar- rassing. Several times his name has been mentioned during the sessions, and each time it has been booed. The speakers have linked the for- mer “happy warrior” and $he Amer- ican Liberty League in their denuncia= tion. Only last night, a near riot was created in Convention Hall when & band of boys and men rose in one corner of the vast hall and waved banners on which was inscribed “We Want Al Smith.” The banners were torn down by an earnest Roosevelt ad- vocate and the police took the boys into custody for disturbing the peace. Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri took the cue from this epi- sode to belittle the former New York Governor and former Democratic nominee for President. These bitter attacks upon Smith in a Democratic National Convention are reminiscent of the treatment which another famous Democratic | leader, Willi i , Te- N. G. Robertson; Georgia, Marion | e Witam Jernings Brvan 1o ceived at the hands of the Madison Square Garden Convention in 1924, When Bryan arose to address that convention, the crowd roared and howled and booed, and the man who had three times been the standard bearer for the party was unable for & long time to proceed. The climax of this national gather- ing of the Democrats will be the for- mal notification of President Roose- velt of his renomination which takes place tomorrow night in Pranklin Field, a stone's throw from the Con- vention Hall. It is expected that 100,000 will gather there to hear the President make his acceptance speech. The renomination of Vice President John N. Garner is slated to take place at a session of the convention tomor- row morning. Garner is the selec- tion of the President for running mate this year. He also is expected to be renominated without opposition, although in the past mention has been made of a possible shift from Garner to another vice presidential candidate.

A curious situation in the Louisiana Quarry Co., case was that C. N. Nich- ols, H. 8. Schiff and R. 8.

SPEAKER DOVELL 1S GIVEN THRILL Plane Carrying Virginian to Convention Forced Back by Engine Trouble. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, June 26.—Speak- er Ashton Dovell of the Virginia House of Delegates found his Demo- cratic National Convention excitement before he got here. He came from Williamsburg to Richmond, and then boarded an air- plane for the convention. The plane developed motor trouble out of Wash- ington. The Speaker said he was relieved when the plane retraced its course in & successful return trip to Washington and he was seated aboard another plane. “Freshman” at Convention. Mrs. John Garland Pollard, who, subject to examination grades she ex- pects upon her return to Washington, will be a sophomore in the George ‘Washington Law School, doesn't deny that she is a “freshman” at Demo- cratic National Conventions. The 1936 Democratic convention here is her first one as an official representative of Virginia, which her husband sgrved as Governor and she served as secretary. She is a delegate at large. She has just completed her first year in law and came to the con- vention immediately after examina- tions. She sald she expects to visit her family in Canada shortly after the convention’s adjournment. Finds Seats Scarce. With delegates and alternates from Virginia numbering 95, seats for vis- itors here are scarce. It is not uncommon to see a dele- gate or an alternate come into the hall, take his seat and then send his badge out to a friend waiting on the outside. Something like that happened, ac- cording to a story told by Chairman J. Murray Hooker, when a lady from Roanoke arrived to tell him that she had “rather get into the convention hall than to get into heaven.” Hooker said he told her that “it probably would be easier for her to get into heaven than into the con- vention hall.” GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE “MODERN” MODE Ice Cool Service Charge Accounts— Monthly Settlements ——or 12-Pay Plon - ey Genuine Palm Beach Jo—————= Ulenbrook Tropical Worsteds 14th Consecutive Season U PONT § %Enjoy the Advantage of Mode Fitting $16.75 $ | Drapes and Regular Models e ————— Silk and Worsted Blend—the Best ' F ot Eleventh Park Corner E and Northwest 12¢h Sts. ot Our Expense. at store.
