Coehraa Gets arreting. Then ch-lrman Robinson recognized W Bourke Coehraa of New York to -nominate governor Smith. As he r-ame to the platform the delegates creeted him as as old friend. They cheered and caBed expectantly to h n knowng of old his power as an r-ator Cheers far President. gain they were not disappointed. The Vew Torker straek a note from e first that foand a quick asewer. ockran lavished unstinted admira tion on president Wilson pointing dramatically to the great tHwninated portrait of the president overlooking i' e convention. Nearly every word ind gesture by wight cheers and -nouts from the flior and Cochran's tribute to governor Smith set the New York delegation going with m"-!can Gags and ttux. eafeeilng. It did not seem that ay Bhttsoal event was at hand. The demonstration started slowly. Cochran made his way through admirers en the plat form. On the floor, hac- with hU own delegation, he was accorded a reception that threatened to cripple his right hand with the vlgo of ap preciative hand shaking. New Jersey folks came over to join In. TJnlque Demonstration Begins. Then the bandmaster, far up In his gallery, had an inspiration. Previ ously he had bees playing Tam many' over and over again a receg nitlon of the New Tork delegation hnt nnw thtk ntmfna of "The Side walks of Nw Tork" came from the left. The big organ took up the homely old tane of SS years ago. It was too much for the crowd. Thrnoghout the hall gray haired men and women began to sing, lured by the strains that harked them baek to days of youth. A Jerseyite seized his state standard and marched across to the New Tork section. Up came the New York standard and again the march was on. over ana ever, ine ora iine was played and sung. Standard after I standard Joined the march. The ' thing was contagious. Other old fa- l vorites came rumbling down in Quick snceesslotL "Rosle otSrady." "The , Bewerr." "After the Ball" and a dozen other eld timers. The tide of human ity Jamming the aisles was swaying and stepping in rythxa to the music, f AH Factions Join. , Every one was singing. Long for- I gotten words came back to mind. Palmer banners. Oox hat bands and I tokens of other candidates were mingling In the throng without re gard to the affiliation. It seemed as though the whole convention bad gone singing mad. Men and women. eld and young, they surged along touching and staging the old songs until every state standard had joined fa the grotesque line that bobbed and nodded like a lot of Clarionets above the shevisg, singing, laughing crowd , on the floor. Sheer exhaustion apparently finally brought the wholly spontaneous ' scene to a close. Gradually the cheering subsided and the convention j went baek to nomination speeches, i On Feet for MeAdoo, It dM not know itself, however.' for the delegates had hardly settled into their seats when Dr. Burris Jenkins. of Kaaeets City, in one of the shortest convention speeches on record and wftfc th rHAvlTie- ntrafieinttan for these who said W O afcAdeo would ' net accept a nomination, placed the former secretary's name before the can venBon. J "I had Intended to make an address presenting the name of a candidate to this convention," said Jenkins, "bat on account of the Insistent and persistent requests from him that his same should not be presented In a Speech. I have decided not to do so, but I am sure from the spirit mani fested in my own delegation and In this convention that we shall draft him f6r the service of the nation. "We know that if so drafted he will accept the nomination and any rumors or telegrams supposed to have been received by me or anybody else, now or in the future, denying that he trill accept the nomination are false hoods perpetrated by the enemies of our party. I place In nomination William G. MeAdoo." Longest Demonstration. For a fuorth time pandemonium broke loose. Cheers and shouts swept ap from the hall and down from the galleries. Delegates were on their feet again, surging out for another parade ah though the day had last begun. It was tbe western men and women who led. The Washington state standard came bobbing to the front with Delaware In close pursuit. Montana, Oregon, Idaho and Texas Joined in. North and South Dakota, Kansas and California and other states kept pace. Bere and there over the hall other standards rocked and swayed as struggles took plaes to get them In motion against opposition. A raiding party of MeAdoo adherents charged the speaker's stand and car ried It by storm. The tumult grew until the house fairly budged with the sound. For many minutes there was no stepping it. Convention offi cials let the demonstration take its course. Tramples along In time to the pounding of the drums of the band, all that could be heard above the gen eral din, all that could be heard was MaCH do, Mac'll do" over and over In a droning chorus. In the Missouri section a desperate struggle to get the state standard Into the ranks re sulted In its destruction. Texas Flag to 8tand. 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 spotlights caught and held the bright folds as the standard was thrust up to the waiting hands on the platform. There was a rush and swirl in the aisles as the standards came hurry ing 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 rocked every minute with a. AAnoutbnrst of eheerine Tennes see and North Carolina standards came staggering forward In eager hands. New volleys of cheering greeted them. A STnniEIt TONIC DUIXK. Davis Called Strongest Man San Francisco, Calif, July I The- ITOrsford's Acid Phosphate. Healthful, and agreeable to the taste. Refreshes and Invigorates. Use it in place of lemons. Adv. name of John W. Davis, of West VlT' glhla, was presented to the Demo cratic eonventten by governor Corn wall, of that state, today as that of the "strongest candidate before the people ol taese anaer conaioerau for th nresldential nomination. "Purely personal or political con siderations must not control id Bo lection of a candidate here," the gov ernor said. "It Is true the Republi can national convention turned back the political clock a quarter of a cen tury; that It retailed the days of Mark Hanna; that reaction Is written In large letters across Its political hori zon. "The Chicago comedy, where candi dates were permitted to wear each other cut and. incidentally, to weary the delegates Into a state of political stupefaction, pending the final word from the bosses, would have been amusing had It not been pathetic and of serious moment to the country. "But, notwithstanding all the stage play and the camouflage, & respecta ble ticket was presented, though pre sented "hind part foremost.' That act we mast bear In mind. ' We mast further bear in mind that a war could not tbe fought with 4.594,000 men under arms and an ex penditure of tJ5.00.000,00. money raised partly by onerous tax burdens, without irritating many persons and leaving much that will be criticised. The public unfortunately. Is prone to listen to criticism In preference to expfenations and eaeomius. Character Unquestioned. "Because of these things, it be hooves the Democratic party to place at the head of Its ticket a man whose character and ability will not be questioned. For the highest position in all the world, we should nominate a one of the vey biggest and brainiest men In an the country To nominate a man In an effort to corral the dissatisfied and disap pointed elements of the opposition that were politely and tenderly kicked out of the Republican conven tion, nominating bun at the sacri fice of Democratic principles and of real leadership, would be disastrous ted reprehensible. ' To deserve to win, the party must offer to the Americas voters a can didate dean, able and possessed of common sense and free from faction alism or unnecessary antagonisms. To prostitute itself by selling a nom ination for supposed powerful influ ences or for the promise of votes from these who seek class recognition would be infamous. xur candidate should stand In the middle of the great hlrrhway of po litical thought He should know our laws and he should nave the courage to enforce them.

"People Unheard on Dry Issue.' In presenting the name of gov ernor Edward X. Edwards, of New Jer sey yesterday, Charles F X. O'Brien, of Jersey City, urged that there be "a return and adherence to the first principles of government" and that the people be given a direct voice In deciding the prohibition question. "We are fully cognizant," said Mr. O'Brien, "that the eighteenth amend ment to the constitution is the law of the land and strict obedience to the mandate of our highest court Is the demand of the Democratic party, but the voice of the people has not yet been heard oa this tremendously vital Issue. We feel that the Ameri can people have been defrauded of a treasured right that was always their proudest possessicn and we propose to undo the wrong by the instalation of a congress and a president who will protect and not destroy popular government, as was witnessed in an infamous measure passed by a Repub lican congress. "We beli-ve tha- this question Of prohibition, when it is put to the ac tual test and its hypocrisy is un covered In all its hideous features, will just as readily find a hearty repudiation through the same meas ures that thoughtlessly and wanton ly moved Its Inception. Therein lies not only the great opportunity of the Democratic party, but the paramount supreme duty of this convention is to decide whether self determination in our own governmental affairs is to be denied or our Inherent natural rights are to find their greatest en joyment in the exercise of pcsonal liberty. Mr. O'Brien t the outset declared that this was "no ordinary gathering of men and women for ordinary con vention purposes." xt it De Knows." he said, "that our primal object is not limited to the choosing of a presidential candi date nor are our deliberations in reaching a decision of a perfunctory nature, we have come, unselfishly and disinterestedly to emphasize our oeiiei mat jeiierson euu lives, that his teachings still survive and by our affirmance or denial of these prin ciples, to prove ourselves worthy or undeserving or. the sacred heritage that has been entms.ed to u- bv the founders of our government. it is axiomatic with the Ameri can people that government) derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; yet it was the abroga tion of this principle or the attempt to limit its aDDlleatkm that orlelnallv brought about party government, and the same sharp line of demarcation that was drawn ny the political lead ers of aa elder day Is as cleerly seen now In the wide divergence of thought and action between the uemocratie ana Republican parties, "Can it be doubted then that a par ty that brought a government safely through the pangs and throes of na tion birth is able to cose with and solve the Industrial, economic, poli tical and financial problems that now conironc usi Reviewing governor Edwards's of ficial record. Mr. O'Brien said that as state controler he had placed the finances of New Jersey on as sound a basis aa those of any stau In the union and that then as stat senator no pegan -tne great work or his ca reer, the task of "combating from without the state the forces f- at tempted to take away oar natura rights and from within, the domi nant factor In Its governmental af- lairs." Meredith's Name Offered. Edwin T. Meredith, secretarv f agricultnrc, was placed In nomination by Claude R. Porter, of CentM-rlll. Iowa, as a man who "would bring to the high Office of nresldent (raaliifoe that wonld make the success of his ad ministration an unfailing certainty." Before presenting secretary Mere dith's name, Mr. Porter reviewed briefly the work of the Democratic party and of president Wilson's ad ministration, and flayed the Repub lican senate for its failure to ratify the peace treaty. "It is not vet determined. rie unfit. "whether the great sacrifices made oy America's sons In the war were In vain. Eighteen months and more while civilization has been hovering over on the brink of dissolution and anarchy and Bolshevism has spread, the United States senate under reac tionary Republican leadership has supinely debated. Thst thl nattAn had become the great moral leader of me worio, lOOKea up to, admired and loved by the people of all countries, and that while they wrangled and talked, admiration was rapidly giv ing way to distrust and love to hate, seemingly mattered not to them. Truly, has It been said that the honor of. this nation is now commlted Into the hands of the Democratic party, and It will not fall In the full per formance of this trust." Cox Can Win, plea. The democracv of Ohio, the home state of the Republican presidential nominees, urged the national conven tion to select governor James M. Cox as the Democratic candidate for president. With Cox as vaur candidate ("UiIa Is Democratic and with rHiln n.. cratic. victory Is- yours," declared Judge James G. Johnson, of Spring field, Ol, In lormally presenting gov ernor Cox's name.

"The Americas people must now decide whether that proud position which our soldiers and our people won shall be abandoned or whether we shall show ourselves worthy of the Inheritance we have enjoyed. "The Democratic party needs a can didate who holds in his heart the memory of the glorious record of the Incomparable American boy and who looks forward with courage and ca pacity to grasp the opportunities and to meet the difficulties and dancers yet to come. He must know the be ginnings and the reasons for the re public. He must know its spirit; and the spirit of the wise men who found ed It. He must know that American ization la not an Idle ceremony, that It is not a thing to be gained in a day or a year, but that it is the re sult of the slow processes of educa tion and of the Influence of associa tion and contact with those who have enjoyed and appreciates what en lightened liberty Is.

He must realize that the huge debts Im posed upon ail the nations by the bloody straggle make It imperative that-the American president shall be a mas or great business and execu tive capacity; that this debt can only be paid by wealth produced in the factories and mines and on the farms of the country, and that there must be the devoted, united and harmoni ous work of every capitalist and every worker to accomplish the mighty task. The taxes must be In telligently laid to the end that this capital and this labor may be. as far as possible, unfettered.
