The Thomasville Times Enterprise urges local turnout for Roosevelt campaign efforts, calling for $1 tickets to a Philadelphia nominating celebration and a $1,000 county contribution. It recalls the two thirds rule's southern stake, the Georgia delegation’s past stand, and promotes a community cooking school supported by the paper.
A brief but heated eruption at the Chicago Democratic convention features Alfred Fr. Smith and supporters from the Liberty League attacking Roosevelt, with Smith quickly fading from the party fold as others join the effort to calm the dispute.
Four senators held key roles at the Philadelphia convention. Barkley of Kentucky keynoted, Robinson of Arkansas chaired, Wagner of New York led the platform committee, and Clark of Missouri chaired the rules panel. Glass of Virginia influenced currency and banking planks without an executive post.
The article highlights Speaker Glass urging restraint on government power and recalling his Senate oath to uphold the Constitution. Virginians respond positively to his emphasis on constitutional bounds and public duty over personal life.
A New York traveler contrasts Texas heat with city life, recalling a humid Amarillo ranch visit and a coyote chasing a rabbit scene. The piece also revisits Billy Gibson, legendary Tunney trainer, and a now-retold myth about Gibson’s early baseball dreams and a Bronx manager’s blunt warning.
The piece recalls figures like Jassie Condon linked to old times and Lindbergh era cases, Isaac Einstein as Brooklyn Bridge’s opening witness and Broadway’s veteran reveler. It notes Don Boston’s heat sparked mock rage at moon struck dancers while Sigmund Romberg is credited with vast song output.
