Demos Convention Atmosphere Shapes a Tense Nomination Day
At the Democratic National Convention in Houston and Sam Houston Hall lawmakers, delegates, and onlookers witness Eugene O Sullivan of Omaha nominate Gilbert Hitchcock while paying tribute to William Jennings Bryan. The day delivers protracted oratory, a looming platform vote, and anticipated ratification of Al Smith’s nomination with Joseph T. Robinson as running mate. Reed’s Missouri supporters stage a brief demonstration that fails to gain traction beyond Oklahoma and Florida. The day features speeches by Reed, Hitchcock, Smith supporters, and Albert C. Hicks.
