THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 1, 1920
PAGE FIVE
Believe First Ballot
(Continued from Page Two)
swelled until a Georgia delegate rooted
the state standard from its place and
started the march of states to be fol
lowed by Pennsylvania and half a
dozen othe- delegations.
The tumult lasted more than half an
Vv?Ur Artind and around the aisles
the procession went, the sthndards
bobbing awkwardly high over the
heads of the marchers. A lusty rooter
danced along with a slim little woman
Perched on his shoulder. On the plat
form a score of Palmer women crowd
ed to the speakers stand and with
waving flags urged the delegates on
"while the band joined heartily' in the
songs which were caught up all over
the hall and galleries.
When Governor Cox was named, it
"was the turn of the Cox supporters and
they came to tho task with a will.
Again more than half an hour was giv
en over to the uproar and singing, to
the parading of state standards led bv
Ohio and Kentucky. Yells given with
the barking note of football rooters
wtme down from the Ohio section in
the gallery. The Ohio band never
paused. Again and again it drew new
cheers, from the southern delegates
with the strain of "Dixie."
While the riot of movement, color
and noise was at Its height, the band
trooped down from the gallery to the
floor. They tramped around, the aisles
singing. "Ohio, Ohio" and the conven
tion in impartial good temper joined in.
Cox Rooters Hard to Quiet
It took much effort of Governor Cox'
managers to still the uproar and let the
business of the nomination proceed'.
Chairman Robinson pounded unceas
ingly with his gavel when more than
half an hour had passed, and finally
the rooters fought their way back to
the gallery and the delegates back to
their seats to await the next act of
the great show.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi,
among those seconding Governor Cox
nomination, struck a note that proved
he convention had been keyed up. He
Tut hard at the newspapers of San
Krancisco which published the story of
the governor's divorce 10 years ago,
and a burst of cheers that rang out
answered his thrust.
Then Chairman Robinson recognized
"W. Bourke Cockran of New York to
nominate Governor Smith. As he came
to the platform the delegates greeted
him as an old friend. They cheered
and called expectantly to him, know
ing of old his power as an orator.
Again they" were not disappointed.
The New Yorker struck a note from
the first that found a quick answer.
Cockran lavished unstinted admiration
on President Wilson, pointing dra
matically to the great illuminated por
trait of the president overlooking the
convention. Nearly every .word and
gesture brought cheers and shouts
from the floor and Cockran's tribute
to Governor Smith set the New York
delegation going with American fla?s
and much cheering. It did not seem
that any unusual event was at hand.
The demonstration started slowly.
Cockran made his way through ad
mirers on the platform. On the floor,
back with his ow.n delegation, he was
accorded a reception that threatened to
cripple his right hand with the vigor
of appreciative hand shaking. Nc.v
Jersey folks came over to join in.
Then the bandmaster, far up in his
gallery, had an inspiration. Previously
he had been playing "Tammany" over
and over again in recognition of the
New York delegation, but now the
strains of "The Sidewalks of New
York came down from the loft. The
bis organ took up the homely old tune
of "i your a ami. It was too much for
tho crowd. Throu ghout the hall grray
haired men nn-l women began to sins,
lured by tho strains that harked them
back to days of youth. A Jerseyite
seized his state standard and marched
across to the New York section. I'p
came the New York standard and again ,
.x !
Kiir- uiaicii vas on.
Over and over the old tune was
played and sung. Standard after
standard joined the march. The thing
was contagious. Other old favorites
came rumbling down in quick succes
sion. "Kosie O'Crady." "The Bowery,"
"After thp Ball," and a dozen others
old timers. The tide of humanity
jamming the aisles was swaying and
stepping in rythm to the music.
Kveryone was singing. Long forgotten
words came back to mind. Palmer
banners. Cox hat bands, and tokens of
other candidates were mingling in the
throng without regard to the affilia
tion. It seemed as though tho whole,
convention had gone singing mad.
Men and women, old and young, they
surged along laughing and singing tl.
Old songs until every state standard
had joined in the grotesque line that
bobbed and nodded like a lot of ma
rionettes above, the shoving, singing
laughing crowd on the floor.
McAdoo's Name Causes Second
Outburst
Sheer exhaustion apparently finally
brought the wholly spontaneous scene
to a close. Gradually the cheering sub
sided and the convention went back to
nomination speeches. It did not know
itself, however, for the delegates ha
hardly settled into their seats when
Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City, in
one of the shortest convention speeches
on record and with the ringing denun
ciation for those who said W. G. Mc
Adoo would not accept a nomination,
placed the former secretary's name be
fore the convention.
' I had intended to make an address
presenting the name of a candidate to
this convention," said Jenkins, "but on
account of the ipsistent and persistent
requests from him that his name
should not be presented in a speech.
I have decided not to do so, but I am
sure from the spirit manifested in my
own delegation and in this convention
that Ave shall draft him for the serv
ice of the nation.
"We know that If so drafted he will
accept the nomination, and any rumors
of telegrams supposed to have been re
ceived by me or anybody else now or
in the future denying that he would
accept the nomination are falsehoods
perpetrated by the enemies of our
party. I place in nomination William
G. McAdoo."
For a fourth time pandemonium
broke loose. Cheers and shouts swept
up from the hall and down from the
galleries. Delegates were on their feet
again, surging out for another parade
as though the day had just begun. It
was the western men and women who
led. The Washington state standard
came bobbing to the front with Dela
ware in close pursuit. Montana, Ore
gon, Idaho and Texas joined In. North
and South Dakota., Kansas and Cali
fornia and other states kept pace. Here
and there over the hall other standards
rocked and swayed as struggles took
place to get them in motion aga'inst
opposition. A raiding party of McAdoo
adherents charged the speaker's stand
and carried it by storm. The tumult
grew until the hall fairly bulged with
the sound. For many minutes there was
no stopping it. Convention officials let
the demonstration take its course.
Missouri Banner Destroyed
Tramping along in time to the pound
ing of the drums of the band, all that
could be heard above the general din,
all that could be heard was "Mac'H do,
Mac'll do. over and over in a droning
chorus. In the Missouri section a des
perate struggle to got the state stand
ard into the ranks resulted in its de
struction. Somebody reached the place before
the speaker's stand, carrying a great
lone star banner, the Texas state flag.
The blazing silver glow of the spot
lights caught and held the bright folds
as the standard was thrust up to wait
ing hands on the platform.
There was a rush and swirl in the
aisles as the standards came hurry ins
forward. Hands reached lor them from
the platform. Half the states of the
union were in the group of standards
growing up like a great triangle before
the platform. The hall roek3d every
minute with a new outburst of cheer
ing. Tennessee and North Carolina
standards came staggering forward in
eager hands. New volleys of cheering
greeted them. Florida came in and
from the surging mob of McAdoo sup
porters at the foot of the speaker's
stand, shouts of "come on. New York"
went up. In cadence with the drum
beat of the band they roared it over
and over again. The galleries took
It up.
Over where the New York delegation
filled a great block of seats the state
standard rocked and wave rod with a
struggle about it. Again and again it
rose in air as though about to join
the demonstration, only to be pulled
back again.
Meanwhile the rush of standard
bearers in the melee had been swarm
ing the press stands in seeking a road
to the stand itself. They climbed over
the barriers and trampled recklessly
over desks. Indifferent to wires and
typewriters, despite efforts of the po
lice and convention officials to stop
them.
Slowly the demonstration subsided
like the passing of a storm, but it was
long before Chairman Robinson could
recognize New Jersey for the nomina
tion of Governor Edwards and the band
broke out into "There'll be a hot time"
to the huge delight of the crowd which
swayed and gurgled with mirth.
Edwards Loudly Cheered
In presenting the governor's name,
Charles F. X. O'Brien went into the
prohibition issue, appealing for per
sonal liberty policies. He was cheered,
also hissed from some points on the
floor, the first sign of disapproval of
principles in the long day of ferment
and uproad. When he concluded. Gov
ernor Edwards was cheered vigorously
and the band continued its musical re
minder of other and wetter days play
ing "How Dry I Am." but the demon
stration did not reach the proportions
of the storm that had gone before i:.
Eight hours after the convention
came to order and at the close of the
session that fairly beggarded descrip
tion for color and sound and unusual
features. Representative Flood of Vir
ginia moved a recess and with one last
terrific roar of "aye," the tirel dele
gates began streaming cut to await
the battle on platform tomorrow.
