In San Francisco on June 2, the Democratic national convention wraps preliminaries and prepares to begin business tomorrow. Administration forces maintain control as they organize, with Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas accepted into leadership.
The convention cleared preliminaries by permitting states to upset the unit rule and set for nominating speeches before the platform. Balloting for a nominee waits until after platform adoption. The second session ran smoothly under administration supporters with a large crowd and humor at the proceedings.
The rules committee moved to drop the unit rule in states with district delegate elections, risking a split of New York’s delegation if adopted. The 24 to 11 vote also recommended tighter speaking limits, with 20 minutes for presidential nominating speeches and 10 for vice presidential, plus 30 minutes per question without unanimous consent. Roosevelt supported reform.
