Democratic Convention Opens With Double Keynotes in Chicago
Reporting from Chicago the Democratic National Convention begins under a sprawling stage set and two keynote moments. A long address by Cummings is punctuated by band marches and a wave of Wilson enthusiasm as marines guard the platform, while Kremer opens proceedings with a separate, brisk call to order and a show of national unity. The scene includes a two-keynote setup, military displays, and fanfare as delegates from multiple states assemble to nominate a presidential ticket.
