Delegates roared cheered and waved banners as Harry Southwell urged the nomination. The rally stretched 20 minutes with songs firecrackers balloons and a strong show of support. Reuther was expected to win a decisive third term though a six to four vote rejected biennial conventions and two year terms for officers amid left wing opposition.
