The competlon from the Smith root-

went through the Smith campaign
songs. and when they swung into
“Hail. Hail. .the Gang”: All Here."
Senator Walsh retired temporarily
from the speaker’s stand to wait for
a more favorable opportunity to eon-
tinue his appeals for order.
A moment latter the Senator re-
turned to the attack pounding so
hard that the head flew off the ga—
vel and landed in the crowded aisle
ten feet below him. Senator Walsh
seized another and went to work
again. ’
”East Side. West Side. All Around

to the chairman‘s best efforts and
then they wound up with three
cheers for Smith and took their

there supporting himself by leaning
forward over the pulpit like table
that had been placed there for him.
It was five minutes before the
cheering stopped andghe began his

"I wish that every Kiwanian
might have been present at this
great Convention. It was literally a
cross-section of North America.
Business men and professional men
were present from almost every
town and city of any size in this
country and Canada. Never before.
anywhere at anytime has it been my
privilege to see gahtered together
at one time. such a representative
gathering of the best citizenship of
the United States and Canada. The
attendance at every session was
marked by an evident sincerity of
interest—not found very often at s.
gathering of this size. While the pro—
gram revolved around the building
of a Practical Idealism. which can~
not help but menn much to this
country. there appeared to be a
strong under-.ylng hole of what
might be termed Undenominational
Religion which seemed to pervade
the entire proceedings and the work
of the Convention. .No man could
visit this great Convention and come
away without being sold on Kiwanis
and its eventual achievements and
accomplishments in this country.
“Every mention of Norwalk and
Connecticut immediately brought
forth inquiries for Arthur Wheeler.
In fact, Norwalk and Connecticut
seemed to be synonomous with Ar-
thur Wheeler. Many people men-
tioned Mr. Wheeler's grelat speech
at the Atlanta Convention last year.
Norwalk ought to consider itself
fortunate in having for President of
its Club a man who is as well and
favorably known in Kiwanis
throughout the country as our
President is.”

It was on June 26. 1380 at You-

of eight years. He attended the local
schools and became a batter by
trade. He worked at the old C. &

Mr. Hayes started a cigar and sta-
tionary store at 5 Main street. For

State Convention for Smith.
A local Democratic leader pointed
out yesterday that it was the belief
that a majority of the delegation
from this State were deliberately
violating the confidence of the State
convention in switching To any other
candidate than Governor Smith.
‘The closing moments of the State
convention clearly showed the senti-
ment of the state. and also of «the
convention." he said. “it was all
that the leaders could do to prevent
n. stampede in Smith's favor and the
only reason the delegation was not
solidly instructed for Smith was that
it was thought that Cummings
should be given s. complimentary
vote. He has refused it. and there
is no reason now why the delegates
should break faith with the conven-
tion which elected them.”

pany K. 311th Infantry. he was
