FARLEY IS RENAMED CHAIRMAN IN HARMONIOUS SESSION
SI
—
Robert Elected Secretary.
Mrs. Harriman New
Vice Commander.
BY JOHN H. CLINE.
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. June 27.—Har
mony ruled supreme here today as the
Democratic National Committee met
to go through the formality of elect
ing Postmaster General James A. Par
ley as Its chairman for the next four
years.
In accepting the post, which he has
held for the past four years, Farley
did not comment on his reported in
tention to resign his cabinet post. It
was believed, however, that the res
ignation will be announced in Wash
ington in the near future.
Should Parley step out and the
President not make a new appoint
ment, William W. Howes. First As
sistant Postmaster General, would au
tomatically move in as head of the
department. Howes was one of the
Roosevelt floor leaders at the Chicago
convention and a national commit
teeman from South Dakota.
For the District of Columbia Mrs.
J. Borden Harriman was named na
tional committeewoman and also vice
chairman of the National Committee.
Malcolm S. McConihe was named
Committeeman.
The meeting of the committee was
marked by much story telling and
handshaking.
uampr i rmurs,
Vice President Garner, a national
Committeeman from Texas, presided
while Farley's election went through
without a dissent. In an Informal
talk, the Vice President told the com
mittee members their work will be of
utmost importance during the coming
campaign and urged them to take
their inspiration from Farley.
Addressing the committee after his
election. Farley told them the finances
cf the committee are in better shape
now than at any time during the
past four years. '"Where we were
8500.000 in debt in 1932,” he said,
"we now have enough to take care
cf our obligations.”
“I always like to be frank.” he con
tinued, "so I will say I am not sur
prised at my election. When I took
ever these duties, four years ago. I
gave my utmost efforts, believing the
success of the party meant the safety
cf the Nation.
"We are better organized now than
ever We have just had a great con
vention and there is no doubt in my
mind but that our candidates will be
elected in November Let all of us
put our shoulders to the wheel so this
victory will be even greater than in
1932."
Morgan Mad* Treasurer.
W. Forbes Morgan, secretary of the
committee, was elected treasurer, suc
ceeding Walter J. Cummings. Chicago
banker, who resigned because of the
pressure of his private duties.
Morgan was succeeded as secretary
by 1 W. 'Chip" Robert. Jr . former
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
After Robert had been chosen
Unanimously. Farley said:
"Come on up here. Chip, and tell
Us a story." Robert has quite a
reputation in Washington as a story
♦ cliff
Edwin A. Halsey, jr.. secretary of
the Senate, was chosen sergeant at
arms.
Farley announced he would appoint
a subcommittee to hear as soon as
possible contests on the seating of

row seats. The press stand, with its
500 newspaper men faced them And
overlooking the press stand was a tem
porary speaker's stand from which
the President was to receive for
mal notification of his renomination
and make his speech of acceptance.
The skies looked as though they
might clear and save the crowd from
another drenching. The band re
assured It Ain't Gonna Rain No
More." The tune provoked both
cheers and laughter. And just as a
teaser it played “How Dry I am.” the
bandsman knowing, of course, that
there was not a dry person in the
stadium.
The elaborate preliminary enter
tainment program opened with Eddie
Peabody, celebrated "wizard of the
strings." trying to make everybody
forget the weather with a masterful
banjo version of "Is It True What
They Say About Dixie.” Bob Mack
of radio fame followed with "Wagon
Wheels.” and Natalie Moberly. that
attractive little Chickasaw Indian
maid who thrilled the convention the
other day with “By the Waters of
Minnetonka." repeated it for the sta
dium throng.
Plane Circles Above.
A lull. A plane circled overhead
with an advertising trailer stringing
out behind it about a good place to
eat, “Wine — Dine — Bennie — the
Bum.” it read.
Finally. Col. Ed Halsey came to
the microphone to reassure the crowd
that regardless of the weather the
notification ceremonies were to be held
at the field. Somebody had circulated
a report that the scene would be trans
ferred back to the municipal audi
torium. not far away, and many spec
tators were leaving or preparing to
lea' e,
A fife and drum corps marched into
the stadium. It was iden'ifipd as the
Boycrtown, Pa., American Legion
outfit.
Eddie Peabody canie hack now for
another contribution to the show. It
was "If I should Lose You." Helen
Hughe?, petite Columbia Broadcast
ing System star, followed with .' I'm
Putting All My Eggs in One Basket."
Again Eddie Peabody played. "Happy
Days Are Here Agam" was his latest
contribution.

were in the upper tier at the far end
of the field.

Maybe that prediction about the
Hearing skies was w-rong. Another
shower But it didn't last long. The
band gave another reassurance that
"It Ain't Gonna Rain No More."
Tli? ple'form on which the Presi
dent made his speech of acceptance
had a canopy over it. It was the
only- spot in the big field protected
from the weather. The platform, in
cidentally w as covered with gray burn
ing with a red. white and blue border
Flag pennants streamed down its sides.
In the background of the platform was
a large photograph of the President
and Vice President Garner, support'd
by a flag-studded American shield.
Flanking the platform on either side
in the same color scheme was a veri
table portrait gallerv of some of
Democracy's celebrated figures of the
past—Jefferson, Madison. Monro',
Jackson. Van Buren, Polk. Pierce,
Buchanan. Cleveland and Wilson.
Lightning streaked down the west
ern sky. The amplifiers blasted a
warning to the delegates from Col.
Halsey not to attempt any demonstra
tion either when the President was
introduced or when he concluded his
speech. The announcer said a dem
onstration might endanger the lives
of the thousands massed on the field.
And talking about the weather, a
veteran political writer here in the
press stand recalled that 12 years ago
another Democratic presidential can
didate was notified of his nomination
at an open-air ceremony at night—
John W. Davis of West Virginia and
New York—in Clarksburg. The heav
ens opened and the crowd was
drenched. Davis was notified at that
time by the late Senator Thomas J.

Madison Square National Convention.
Suddenly the field was bathed In
light from a battery of powerful flood
lights high shove. The famed Phila
delphia Orchestra, with Charles O'Con
nell, assistant conductor, wielding the
baton, began a concert program with
Dvorak’s "Carnival Overture.” Mrs.
James Roosevelt, the President's
mother, walked onto the platform, was
recognised by many and a wave of
cheers floated across the field.
The orchestra played "Blue Danube
Walts,” and followed with the finale
from Tschaikowski's "Fourth Sym
phony.”
That noise Indicator which went
haywire at the convention auditorium
when President Roosevelt's name was
placed in nomination was on the fire
house above the clock. It could be
seen all over the field.
A brief lull In the roncert. Then
came "Dixie” and a mighty roar from
the Southern delegates in the field.
The golden voiced Lily Pons, former
Metropolitan Opera star, lovely In
white, mounted an open platform,
midway of the press stand, waved
toward the President's stand, and sang
Bishop's "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark.”
Weather Is Threatening.
The orchestra played the "Rakozry
Maroh” of Berlioz. Black storm clouds
rolled In from the southwest. Thun
der pealed ominously. Thousands of
eves watched the skies.
Another short lull in the concert and
the orchestra struck up Bach's "Air
for G String” and followed with
Sousa's stirring "Stars and Stripes
Pnnvor ••
Newspaper scouts returned from an
expedition on the outside of the field
and reported that tickets of admission
to the stadium were worthless. Even
delegates and alternates to the con
vention were being refused admission.
There was no room for them—the sta
dium stands were jammed to capac
ity—80.000 men, women and children.
Nearly 40,000 more are seated in
the field.
The program was interrupted and
the field amplifiers picked up a broad
cast, description of the Presidents
arrival at the B. & O. Philadelphia
station. The voice of Ted Church.
WJSV program manager, floated across
the stadium, telling of the throngs
that greeted the President there.
A sigh of relief now by thousands, i
The storm disappeared. A half moon !
peeped out from behind a cloud and
looked as though it would continue
to shine its welcome benediction on
Franklin Field.
Mighty Roar Greets President.
At 9:30 the gateway to the stadium
opened and the President arrived. A
mighty roar swept from the stands
across the field. The President came
to the platform, his son James on one
arm and Postmaster General Farley |
on the other. Another deafening out- j
burst. The noise was terrific. Shouts. !
cheers and whistles came from the
north, east, west and south, and
reached an ear-splitting crescendo In
the center of the field. Convention
delegates waved their hands wildly.;
There was no let-up to th® demonstra
tion. Postmaster General Farlev sig- i
naled for an end, but the cheers
continued.
Finally peace was restored. Miss
Pons sang the national anthem and
Bishop Case of Philadelphia offered a
prayer. Vice President Gamer rose
to make his speech of acceptance
The Texas delegation whooped a
welcome.
Vice President Garner finished his
speech of acceptance Another deaf
ening din of cheers and shouts.
Now the President ros® to tel! the
country that he would b® glad to be
its leader for another four years. The
band swung Into "Happy" Days Are
Here Again ' Another demonstration
more thunderous than the first. Thou- J
sands in the stands stood, cheered. j
yelled, waved hats and handkerchiefs.
Delegates to the convention rose
from seats In the field and further
strained the throats *hat screamed !

week in Convention Hall Others
waved American flags frantically.
Philadelphians Cheer Praise.
"Philadelphia is a good place In
which to write American history." said
the President, and at least 20.000
Philadelphians cheered.
Periodic shouts of approval burst
from all sections of the stands
through the speech, and th® President
said, in conclusion: "I accept the
commission you have tendered me ”
It was a magic signal for another
wild demonstration. Another deaf
ening din. Confetti, torn newspapers

■ PHILADELPHIA. June 27.—Mrs.
Sara Delano Roosevelt formed an en- 1
thusiastlc welcoming committee of one
tonight for her Presidential son and
his family.
She arrived by motor a few hours
after the five children of the Presi
dent had left for Washington to travel
back with him to the notification cere
monies.
Several friends had gathered at
the country estate here of Mr. and
Mrs. William Donner to lunch with
her. Among them were the young Mrs.
Donner Roosevelt, former wife of El
liott Roosevelt, and daughter of the
host and hostess.
Her small son, "Billie” was the first
down the broad steps of the Donner
home to greet his grandmother. He
was made even happier by being per
mitted to lunch at the table with the
adults.
Mrs Roosevelt was elated, although
still walking with a cane following a
recent accident in which she broke
her hip.
*1 said nothing like a broken hip
would keep me away." she laughed
as she entered the Donner drawing
room, ' and it didn't. Here I am."
She arranged to board the Presi
dent's special after the ceremony to
travel with him back to her Hyde Park
home.
