(By The Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA. June 27—After renominating
President Roosevelt for reelection early today, demo
crats reassembled to name Jack Garner as his running
mate again, then adjourned. Leaders studied weather
reports fearful lest extraordinary outdoor acceptance
ceremony at 10 P M EST, tonight, be rained out.
Delegates who showed up for the forenoon session
plainly showed that they wanted no repetition of those
hours used in nominating oratory, yesterday, as sleepy
eyed and foot weary delegates straggled in ones and
two’s from the convention floor.
Roosevelt’s speech tonight will be carried to five
thousand nominator rallies, those attending paying one
dollar apiece for the campaign fund.
When the convention convened at 11:25 A M., ESI.,
Dimond, who seconded the President’s nomination, for
Alaska, said; Alaska was first in instructing its dele
gates for Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936. “We were right
both times. We of the north feel a modest pride in our
contribution to his nomination and that pride has added
satisfaction to us by reason of the long stride for
ward taken by Alaska economically and otherwise.
Under the present administration we’ve gained add
itional & substantial measure of self-government; we’
ve had a material advance in development of our indus
tries, the most important of all were those needy, who
have been fed and clothed under a policy of preserving
self respect.. We’ve just adopted a great platform,
concise, clear, and is certainly definite, embodying the
New Deal doctrine, but we could have condensed that
platform into a single sentence. We could have said
and it would have been supported by the heart and
mind of every member of this convention, by every
lover of humanity in that “we commend the administra
tion and we shall support and continue to support it
with all our strength, the political and economic polic
ies of Franklin D Roosevelt.”
