ciate it if the Convention would join with

Education, State Department of Education,
and Mrs. Reid, of Catonsville; Mr. and Mrs.

DELEGATE MITCHELL: Mr. President
and fellow delegates, I would like to ac-
knowledge the presence in the g'allery over
the podium of Mrs. Ruth Haines, field

you. (Applause.)
Delegate Churchill Murray.
DELEGATE E. C. MURRAY: Mr. Presi-
dent, I should like to ask my fellow dele-
gates to join me in welcoming the wife of a
delegate. He has gone suddenly shy, but
the wife of Delegate Fornos is in the gal-
lery, and has been here repeatedly.

T.HE PRESIDENT: We are delighted to
have Mrs. Fornos with us. (Applause).
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Gallagher.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: Mr. Chair-
man, if this were not a non-partisan Con-
vention, I would announce to the body
tonight that the members of the minority
party left here this evening- to attend an
evening of spiritual rejuvenation, that they
left as the minority party, but they have
returned feeling as if they were the major-
ity party. (Applause.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Price.
DELEGATE PRICE: I again do not want
to be anticlimatical, but the lovely lady
who is my wife is seated in the balcony and
I would like for you to welcome her tonight
too. (Applause).
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Weidemyer.
DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Mr.
President and members of the Convention,
I would like to welcome to the Convention
and to the gallery two fine secretaries, Miss
Klemsen and Mrs. Peters; I know not what
their political affiliations are, but I can say
this, that they are loyal to our Committee.
(Applause).
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Fornos.
DELEGATE FORNOS: Anticlimatical
perhaps, but we have the hero of Annapolis
with us, the Superintendent of the Naval
Academy, the Admiral and Mrs. Kauffman.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: On behalf of Admiral
Kauffman the Chair desires to deliver to
you this report, which is not the Chair's re-
port, but his report: recognizing the sub-
servience of the military to the civil au-
thorities, he and the midshipmen of the
United States Naval Academy carried out
the orders of this Convention on last Satur-
day. (Applause).
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: A point of in-
formation, Mr. Chairman. At that time
were we granting them a power or impos-

THE PRESIDENT: In a non-partisan
manner, we were imposing upon them a
duty.
Are there any other announcements?
Delegate Kiefer.
DELEGATE KIEFER: I cannot let this
occasion go by without expressing the
