Personalities abound including Mrs. Claude Pepper of Florida, Congress-woman Mary Norton of New Jersey, Senator Jackson of Indiana (permanent chairman), Senator Scott Lucas, the old warrior James Farley and others.
Mrs. Charles Tillett of North Carolina addresses the Convention--then the glamorous Helen Gahagan (ex-Broadway star, wife of film star Melvyn Douglas, and herself a candidate for Congress from California) gives a thrilling speech.
Finally, Oklahoma's Chief Executive, the Honorable Robert S. Kerr, delivers the keynote address, which stirs its hearers, all the way down their spines.

DEMOCRATS NAME F. D. R. AND TRUMAN
THE STADIUM, CHICAGO--Excitement mounts at the Democratic National Convention as Senator Alben Barkley accredits President Roosevelt with the outstanding virtues of many of our previous presidents, then places his name in nomination. Pandemonium breaks loose.
From a West Coast Naval Station, Mister Roosevelt accepts the nomination. His clear cut speech, citing some of the high spots in his three administrations, rings out over the huge Chicago assembly.
Nominations for the Vice-Presidency are opened. Henry Wallace, Paul McNutt and Scott Lucas jockey into position but--the hand of destiny which has been guiding U. S. Senator Harry S. Truman of Missouri, projects him into the number two spot on the Democratic ticket.
"COMING BACK" AT CAPRI
