...since he proclaimed to the Liberty League and the nation last January that he might "take a walk" at Philadelphia, observers have been waiting for Al Smith to take his first step. He waited until the day before the convention began and then, with Joseph B. Ely, James A. Reed, Bainbridge Colby and onetime New York Supreme Court Justice Daniel F. Cohalan for co-signers, released an open telegram summoning convention delegates in the names of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland to nominate a "genuine Democrat" (which "would necessarily involve the putting aside of Franklin D.

...John Hamilton took over the machinery of the GOP. An immense job of reconstruction was before him. Next afternoon he began work at a snappy session of the new Republican National Committee. Gone from the committee were such old familiar faces as Walter Folger Brown of Ohio, David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, Mark L. Requa of California, Frank L. Smith of Illinois. In their places were Young Guardsmen. Without saying boo, the committee elected John Hamilton its chairman.
