The oratorical part of the day's pro- gram, conmsisting of putting the names of a half dozen favorite sons formally in nomination was a somewhat tedious formality in the sweltering heat of the big conven- tion hall. Everybody conceded that the men for whom the speeches wers made had no remaining chance of nomination, but the dele- @ates and convention officials were willing to let them have their hour of glory and joined good naturedly. | for the most part, in the applause | that greeted all of them. | Start At 10:35 A.
