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

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
