FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
However, it is considered as fairly
certain that President Roosevelt will
deal more specifically with these
questions in his forthcoming cam-
paign. The 'way has been left com-
pletely open for action by the candi-j
date without him being bound by
specific hampering platform declara-i
tions.
DEMO CONVENTION
IS COLORFUL AFFAIR
Roosevelt and Garner Are The
Whole Show at Philadelphia
Convention
By W. C. WEBBER
Convention Hall, Philadelphia, Pa.-
• “Franklin Delano Roosevelt for Pres-
ident—!”
Philadelphia’s monster convention
hall rocked as 18,000 delegates and
spectators leaped to their feet roaring
approval of their standard bearer in
the coming election. It was a jubilant,
spontaneous outburst, the beginning
of a demonstration seldom equalled
in convention history, and the climax
of four days’ waiting by most of the
delegates.
All through this rather tame conven-
tion, the name of Roosevelt was
magic. The somewhat apathetic audi-
ence, judged by convention standards,
could be stirred into animation only
by the utterance of his name. But the
. demonstrations on those occasions left
nothing to be desired. They were not
. the carefully - managed, chairmen -
directed affairs of other conventions
held in the past, but the heartfelt ex-
pression of people to whom the Demo-
cratic candidate is the hope of coun-
try and party. Up would rise the State
standards as chairmen, delegates and
alternates swarmed into the aisles—a
cheering, dancing, singing throng. The
giant organ and the brass band
perched high on the west side of the
convention hall would be drowned
out in the tumult—and the convention I
chairman held helpless until the, dem-
onstrations finally would wear them- |
selves but
Is Colorful Scene
All the usual trimmings of a na- |
tional political convention were on |
hand at Philadelphia. The approach |
to the convention hall cluttered with |
the customary army of hawkers of
novelties which ranged all the way
from souvenir buttons to pseudo-brass
horns—the milling mob of onlookers
. anxious for a glimpse of the great and
near great—badges, badges, every- |
where, and more badges—all were
there.
Formation of this plank was one of
the events that did not run accord-
ing to schedule. Anticipating difficulty
I only from the conservative quarter.
Senator Robert Wagner of New York,
had selected as members of the draft-
ing group six New Deal Senators, one
ex-Senator, two administration offi-
cials, two delegates with liberal ten-
dencies, and Senator David I. Walsh
of Massachusetts, the only conserva-
tive, but one who is sufficiently prac-
tical to recognize the. overwhelming
odds of 11 to 1.
Proceedings Strike Snag
But something struck a snag. Weary
news hawks watched through the
night outside the room where the sub- |
committee was meeting. Finally at 5 |
o’clock in the morning, the doors
swung open and the members, obvi-
ously exhausted after the session, filed
out in grim silence. Even' Senator
Wagner, who is usually very courte-
ous, was inclined to be curt But from
other sources it was learned that this
was not a staged affair, designed to
impress a skeptical world, but that the
group had spent the night wrangling
over the major controversial points
without reaching any conclusions.
Final accord was reached in the after-
noon session.
The final form of the platform puts
the party on record as . favoring
amendment of the Constitution if
necessary for the enactment of Fed-
eral or State laws “adequately to
regulate commerce, protect public
health and safety and safeguard eco-
nomic security.” It is understood that
President Roosevelt desired to win
from the committee a plank sufficient-
ly vague in its language to permit him
either to advocate or ignore the issue
There was a drive to have a Town-
send plan plank inserted in the plat-
form, but it was doomed to failure.
Senator Schwellenbach, of Washing-
ton, refused to submit the proposal to
the committee although under in-
structions from his State’s delegation
to do so. The Townsend adherents
were blocked at every turn and their
recommendations were never present-
ed. The platform, however, endorses
the Social Security act, and pledges
to erect upon its foundations a struc-
ture of economic security.
Promise Public Works
Determination to proceed with the
public works program in dealing with
unemployment is also voiced by the
party declaration. More than five mil-
lion people have been re-employed,
according to the platform, but where
private business is unable to cope with
the problem, work prevailing wages
should be provided in cooperation
with state and local governments on
useful public projects.
There was much speculation as to
what would be the exact wording of
the plank dealing with civil service.
The Cleveland convention had brought
this issue into prominence, and it was
necessary that the Democratic party
express its views on the subject. Im-
mediate extension of the merit sys-
tem through the classified civil ser-
vice to all non-policy-making posi-
tions in the Federal service was
pledged. The party also declared for
placing all continuing positions which
have been exempt from its operation
under the civil service law.
Protection of consumer, extension of
rural electrification, continuance of
the housing program, enforcement of
criminal and civil provisions of the
existing anti-trust laws, and strength-
ening of the latter by new legislation
were also pledged.
Rumors Run Riot
The question of sound money came
in for its share of the rumors. Guesses,
most of which came from “authorita-
tive sources" ranged from unrestrict-
ed inflation to an immediate return
to the gold standard were rife. The
final platform draft states that while
the party approves of a permanently
sound currency so stabilized as to pre-
I vent wide fluctuations in value, it be-
lieves in a currency which will “per-
mit full utilization of the country’s re-
sources.” Reduction in government
expenses which will eventually per-
mit a balanced budget and reduction
of the national debt were also pledged.
President Roosevelt’s famous “Good
Neighbor” policy was incorporated
into the platform as the Democratic
stand on foreign policy, as was the
continuance of : the present plan of
trade treaties.
Best received of the convention
speeches in the opinion of many was
the keynote address of Senator Alben
W. Barkley of Kentucky. His excoria-
tionof the Republican party and
praise of the New Deal accomplish-
ments was genuine political oratory
which combined all the arts of sar-
casm, humor, logic and pathos in a
skillful blend which aroused the audi-
ence to wild, enthusiasm. He centered
his attack on the record of the Re-
publican party during the twelve
years prior to 1932, the policies of
Herbert Hoover while in office, and
the Liberty League. Little mention
was made by him of the current Re-
publican candidates.

Manero’s Not Quite
as ‘Dark’ a ‘Horse’
as He First Appears
OUTSIDE the sun which had
been so bright all day had-fad-
ed to a dull purple. Still little
groups of tired, half-clad men sat
about the Baltusrol locker room. In
one corner Tommy Armour was
holding forth like the rare story
teller that he is. Gene Sarazen sat
nearby silently cuddling one chubby
knickered leg beneath another.
This was early on the evening
before the finals. Most of the top-
ranking stars of golf who had just
completed the second round of the
national open tournament were
clustered in this group. Nearby
other clusters of near stars talked
happily about the good break of
fortune which unexpectedly had en-
abled them to qualify with 151s for
the final rounds.
Occasionally there would be talk
of the morrow. Then heads would
nod meaningly toward Johnny Re-
volta, Paul Runyan, Ky Laffoon and
those others listening eagerly in the
Hagen-Armour amen corner. A re-
porter, trying to take in all this,
and yet more interested in Gran-
ville's Belmont chances, brushed
past a locker where a little dark-
haired man was changing his shoes.

there tomorrow,” he remarked. .

Platform Holds Interest
There was no doubt as to the final
nominations—or that the convention
. would unanimously endorse the New I
Deal. It was Franklin D. Roosevelt
and John N. Garner in a unanimity
that has not been accorded a Demo-
cratic ticket since Cleveland was nom-
inated.
Since there were no other candi-
dates, chief interest was centered in
the platform and in the abrogation of
the Democratic party’s two-thirds
rule which has governed nominations I
since the party was founded.
The platform was completed only
after a 13-hour session of the sub-
committee held behind closed doors.
Chief difficulty was in evolving a sat-
isfactory wording of the party’s stand
on the constitutional amendment is-
sue. Full pressure of radical groups
was brought to bear, but without ef-
fect. The final draft omitted this flat
declaration, but left the question
largely open to whatever action might
be taken by party leaders during the
coming campaign. James A. Farley,
the national chairman, visited the
committee room himself about an
hour before the preliminary draft was
finally completed and he is believed
to have placed the administration seal
of approval on the- compromise para-
graph at that time.
The latter task was left for Sena-
tor Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas,
who spoke in the role of a delegate-
at-large instead of that of permanent
chairman. Delay in the report of the
credentials committee was responsible
for this unusual change. Robinson
charged that Landon is preparing to
bolt, the Republican platform, citing
his famous telegram to the Cleveland
convention which he pointed out, was
sent only after the nomination was
assured. Robinson also scored the Su-
preme Court for its ruling invalidate
ing the Guffey soft coal control law
and New York State’s minimum wage
law.
The only real trouble within the
convention hall came when a group
in the gallery displayed banners pro-
claiming Al Smith as a real Democrat.
No sooner had the banners been un-
furled than fist fights broke out in the
sections where the Al Smith banners
were exhibited. Order was quickly re-
stored, and most of the dissenting
group left the hall.

| surrounding the adoption of such an
amendment.
J Other points in the platform which
I had been awaited with deep interest,
particularly those dealing with agri-
I culture and with labor, were left
I equally open to future action by party
I leaders. The section on agriculture
pledges a continuance of soil con-
servation and domestic allotment pro-
grams, recognizes “the evils of farm
tenancy” and pledges the full co-op-
eration of the government in long
term refinancing of farm indebtedness
at the, lowest possible rates of interest,
and encourages practical, farm co-op-
I eratives.
Ignore Labor Demand
The labor plank was something of a
surprise to many who had looked for
a more definite declaration. After
pointing out various New Deal ac-
complishments, the plan reads:
“We will continue to protect the
worker and we will guard his rights,
both as wage earner and consumer,
in the production and consumption of
all commodities including coal and
water' power and other natural re-
source products.”
A demand from organized labor
that the party agree to support a con-
stitutional demand which would in- |
validate any Supreme Court deci-
sion that was not arrived at by at
least a six to three vote, fell on bar-
ren soil.
Enthusiasm in the convention hall
reached its maximum Friday when
Judge John E. Mack of New York
placed the name of Franklin D. Roose-
velt in nomination. The delegates let
loose a delirium of sound that almost
tore the top off the sound meter which
stood at the left of the stage. The dem-
onstration which followed made all
previous affairs of this kind look
weak. It was a genuine tribute to a
party leader.
John Nance Garner, Texas idol, was
nominated for the office of Vice-Pres-
ident on Saturday morning by a jubi-
lant, yelling convention. Ten gallon
hats sailed through the air as the
Texas delegation whooped it up for
the State’s favorite son. Garner is gen-
uinely popular with the rank and file
of the Democratic party, and the con-
vention left no doubt about it.
But even this demonstration did not
compare with that of Saturday night
when Roosevelt delivered his accept-
ance speech at Franklin Field, huge
stadium of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. All through the week the de-
mand for tickets to this event had far
exceeded the supply, and when Roose-
velt mounted the platform the big
bowl was packed. As he took his place
at the speaker’s stand, the famous
Roosevelt smile showed brightly, but
to those close enough to see there
seemed to be more than pleasure mir-
rored in the nominee’s face. When the
crowd gave full vent to its delight in
their chosen leader, if there was a
shade of mistiness in Roosevelt’s eyes,
he could hardly be blamed. No man
could receive such a tribute and re-
main untouched.

Most people like to talk when they
have been going through events
such as these. He glanced at the
group of stars. “Do any good your-
self?” he asked.
. “Yes.” The dark little man had
finished dressing now and was turn-
ing away. “Pretty good,” he added
as he gently closed the locker door.
The reporter followed him out.
“Who’s that guy?” he asked a golf
writer. The writer did not know.
Neither did a second or a third.
“Oh,” said a fourth. “Him. He’s
—Oh I remember his name now.
It’s Tony Manero.”
Now that the former Westches-
ter caddy, whom few people knew, is
national open golf champion, I have
been wondering about this game in
which he performs. Even in a year
when Italians have been achieving
sports distinction far out of the or-
dinary, his smashing of both the
British and American record is rat-
ed a real dark-horse triumph. Yet—
Somehow I doubt whether it is
entirely that. True enough, Sam
Parks, who stunned the experts by
winning a year ago, was eliminat-
ed recently. Yet golf is bound by
far more rigid standards of prob-
ability than most other games, and
there is a steadily increasing num.
ber of men who can come close to
par on every round.
So it seems that even though a
Runyan or a Laffoon might well be
ahead of a hundred others on total
scores for a year’s play it becomes
close to impossible now to do any
expert picking on a lone event.

men of Boston town, had much to
lose by his stand. It was no idle
gesture to him, this adoption of the
cause of the colonies. His proper-
ties were to be forfeited to the
crown for what’ would be consid-
ered an act of treason, but John
Hancock did not hesitate because
of this. He was a native of Brain-
tree, therefore a friend and neigh-
bor, no doubt, of John Adams, who
was afterward to be the second
President of the United States.
The adopted son of an uncle,
Thomas Hancock, who left him a
large fortune, young Hancock was
a graduate of Harvard in 1754, and
was one of a numerous family of
Hancocks in the vicinity.
As a member of the Committee
of patriots appointed after the mas-
sacre in Boston asking the British
to withdraw, Hancock had coun-
seled every honorable means to
avoid the conflict impending. At
the funeral of the slain he preached
an oration in which he flayed the
cowardice of the British officers
and men in slaughtering unarmed
men.
When the Continental Congress
was formed John Hancock repre-
sented Massachusetts therein and
in 1775-1777 served as its president.
In his spacious Boston mansion
meanwhile Lord Percy, Britain’s pet,
held sway. A price was put on the
head of John Hancock as well,
which only amused the

Hancock was so eager to
ards at the Oakland Hills Country
fight that he let it be known that
he was willing to face the hard-
ships of the field. But congress
was wise and kept him in his post
as its presiding officer.
After his Revolutionary service
was over, Hancock was elected the
first governor of Massachusetts,
which office he held from 1787 un-
til his death.
John Adams spoke of him as a
"clever fellow, a bit spoiled by a
legacy.” He left no descendants,
and so busy were his heirs in dis-
tributing his property after his
death that they did not erect a
tombstone. Massachusetts in later
years repaired this omission and

On the night I
before the
Fourth, the chil-
dren began
showing strange
symptoms espe-
cially an unnatural willingness to
go to bed early. That gesture was
deceiving and specious; the chil-
dren were not interested in getting:
their rightful rest before a strenu-
ous day, but were insuring them-
selves against the sad accident of
sleeping past three o’clock in the
morning. Any boy who wasn’t out
by three o’clock in the morning
shooting firecrackers under the re-
spective windows of the pastor, the
school principal and the truancy of-
ficer was deemed a sissy. •
The opening ceremony was the
only one unanimously attended.
From that time on, too many things:
were happening to engage the en-
tire juvenile attention at one time.
There was the sunrise salute of
21 guns, engineered by the village
blacksmith who placed one great
anvil upon another with giant pow-
der in between, touched off from &
daring proximity with a red hot
iron. Usually the nether anvil
grew very hot before the 21 sa-
lutes were fired and this was one
of the causes of many distressing
accidents in the insane era.
Hostilities usually were suspend-
ed at noon for the community din-
ner in the city park, where fried
chicken, watermelon and lemonade
from a barrel engaged the general
attention until satiety was reached.
The afternoon was a dizzy proces-
sion of patriotic and athletic events,
wherein the popular candidate for
congress vied with a greased pole,
a pie-eating contest and a ball
game, for popular attention. If the
honorable candidate wound up with
thirty in his audience, and the
ball game wound up in a fight
with victory for the home club,
the celebration was considered a
success. The only remaining item
of importance was the stupendous
fireworks display, staged on a hay
wagon at the north end of Main
street; an event which sometimes
was rained out, and sometimes pre
maturely ignited by over-zealous
manipulators, resulting in bad burns
duly chronicled in the vital sta-
tistics column of the home paper
in the succeeding issue.
Such was the Fourth of July cel-
ebration in the early 1900s, fraught,
as one may see, with great dangers
later minimized by the Sane Fourth
campaign.
