jt. .-- --- --- -- _
Will Appeal to Hearts as
Well as Minds, South
Carolinian Says.
By a Staff Correspondent of Tne Star.
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.—Demo
cratic leaders from all parts of the
country, gathered here for the notifi
cation of President Roosevelt that he
had been renominated, hailed his ad
dress of acceptance as a great and
human message to the American peo
ple
Senator Byrnes of South Carolina,
sn administration leader in the Upper
House, said:
“A wonderful demonstration. A
more wonderful speech because it will
appeal not only to the minds but to
the hearts of the American people.”
Senator Wagner of New York,
chairman of the Resolutions Commit
tee of the convention, said:
"It was a truly remarkable speech.
It will prove to be the keynote of a
Victorious campaign."
Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania:
“The greatest and most constructive
speech ever delivered in America. It
will live long in the hearts of the
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi,
who notified Vice President Garner
of his nomination: "It was the great
est spectacle I have ever witnessed.
The President's speech scintillated
with brilliancy, courage and human
expression. It is the kind we need
to go after the hypocritical advance
w hich the Republican party started at
Cleveland. It will be an interesting
campaign, with the Democrats a one
hundred to one shot."
Representative Sam Rayburn of
Texas, chairman of the Interstate
and Fore'gn Commerce Committee:
“It shows we will have a militant
leader.”
Charles West of Ohio, former mem
ber of Congress, now Under Secretary
of the Interior: “A magnificent
speech—a challenging appeal to the
American people to continue to fight
for the ideals of our program for the
establishment of the Democracy of
opportunity."
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
Democratic national committeeman:
“The President's address was wonder
ful The demonstration at Franklin
Field was the most inspiring I have
even seen. The President has made
r good start in his campaign. He has
put an end to the advance which Lan
dnn seemed to have made after the
Cleveland convention of the Repub
licans. Roosevelt Is the idol of the
people. Furthermore, through the use
of the radio, he reaches millions. The
radio was made for Franklin D.
Roosevelt—and he for it."
Senator Bennett Champ Clark of
Missouri, chairman of the convention
Committee on Rules: “The President
showed hirr.self a master—it was his
superlative speech. It was listened to.
The vast audience absorbed it—it went
to their hearts. It outlined a great
program that appealed to those who
have suffered and see an opportunity
for relief. That speech is the people's
gospel in this campaign.”
Postmaster General James A. Farley:
“It was a great speech and a remark
able demonstration.”
Representative John J. O'Connor of
New York, acting Democratic leader
of the House: "President Roosevelt
will carry Pennsylvania next Novem
ber. I have not a doubt of It. after
listening to his address and seeing the
great reception accorded him. It was
a great statement for the people. It
was a great demonstration by the
people.”

Throng at Griffith Stadium Hears President Roosevelt’s Speech

j ship. The names of Delano and Roose
; velt for two generations and more have
j been identified with every fine, for
ward-looking movement in this com
I munity.”
I Police estimates of the crowd rose
as high as 40.000. but owner Clark
Griffith was certain not more than
j 17,000 were at the stadium.
As the tunes of "Happy Days Are
Here Again" blared over the radio
! from Philadelphia at the close of the
j President's speech, the Boys' Club
Bend lined up behind Commissioner
Hazen and his entourage and the pa
rade, which had begun at 7 pm. at
Tenth street and Constitution avenue,
began to tour the field.
For the most part the paraders
were as lukewarm as the carriers of
a daisy chain. The 3.012 marchers,
augmented by one donkey and 33
horses, demonstrated before thou
sands of sidewalk gazers how badly
they wished the President's nomina
tion.
An occasional outburst of cheer
ing. blaring bands that mixed jazz
with somber tumes. and waving red
flares kept up the interest in the
procession.
Parade Disappoints.
Heralded as a mammoth procession
with 50 000 marchers, the parade,
strung out to the point of straggling,
took one hour and nine minutes to
pass.
As usual. Police Supt. Ernest W.
Brown was the first to come along.
He rode alone in the tonneau of a
touring car and was followed by a
score of motor cycle police.
Close behind came Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen with an equestrian
group of men and women wearing
derbies and knotted scarfs.
The Police Boys’ Club Band pro
vided a touch of color with their red
coats and caps and blue trousers, and
the first laugh was furnished by a
damsel in a seedy-looking hack v/ho
rode just ahead of a shiny limousine.
A walker who paced the horse-drawn
hack carried a placard announcing
the exhibition as a relic of the “hoase
and buggy days,” while another ban
ner held up the limousine as an ex
ample of “Roosevelt days.”
A portly gentleman, wearing a
dented silk hat and carrying a satchel
labeled “Doc Hoover,” led a man
powered elephant with two jackasses,
also stuffed with humans, on the
flanks.
Float Carries “Indians.”
Next in line was a float carrying
an Indian tepee and a pipe-smoking
chief. Dancing girls in white head
dresses and scanty spangles cavorted
around the float, which carried a
sign. “On the Warpath With Roose
velt.”
Arlington County was represented
by a truckload of “hill billies,” a bus
with a banner worded “Move to Ar
lington County and Have a Vote,"
and a sizable delegation of marchers.
Alaska was well up among the sec
tional groups. The Colored Demo
cratic League featured a contingent
of Boy Scouts and a crowded truck
blazing with flares.
Georgia and West Virginia pre
sented the largest units. They shamed
some of the more silent marchers by
keeping up a constant din with whis
tles. bells and shouts of “wahoo” and
such.
A colored truck rider in the Allied
Democratic Club group reassured
Roosevelt supporters with cries that
“Everything Is O.K. All the rough
edges are knocked off—you’ll get a
good deal, a square deal with Roose
velt.”
The Civil Service Commission had
warned its employes agwinst carrying
signs in the parade, but the commis
sion found its name emblazoned In
2-foot letters on a banner announcing
“Landon Ignored Kansas Civil Service
Employes.”
Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina,
New York, Pennsylvania and Montana
groups carried placards declaiming
they w’ere “for Roosevelt."
A dozen youths from South Dakota
sang “Home on the Range” very
mournfully, but New Jersey marchers
enlivened things a bit with snatches ;
of “Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here.’’
Oklahoma’s represen ta’tives would
ask themselves, “Kin we yell?” and
then proceed to whoop it up. A Ten
nessee farmer threatened himself as
he marched by waving a flare danger

is making a fine recovery, although It
is natural that it will be many weeks
