	Democratic National Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary goal of the Democratic National Convention is to nominate and confirm a candidate for President and Vice President, adopt a comprehensive party platform and unify the party.
		The most historically notable--and tumultuous--convention of recent memory was the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, which was fraught with highly emotional battles between conventioneers and Vietnam war protesters and a notable outburst by Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley.
		The Democratic National Convention is a series of presidential nominating conventions held every four years administered by the Democratic National Committee of the United States Democratic Party.

	1924 Democratic National Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1924 Democratic National Convention, held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City from June 24 to July 9, took a record 103 ballots to nominate a presidential candidate.
		It was the longest continuously running convention in United States political history.
		The first day of balloting (June 30) brought the predicted deadlock between the leading aspirants for the nomination, William G. McAdoo of California and Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, with the remainder divided mainly between local "favorite sons".

	Comer, Braxton Bragg
		In 1924, as a supporter of Senator Oscar Underwood's presidential aspirations, he chose half of the state's delegates to the Democratic National Convention, hoping to ensure that Alabama remained committed to a "dry" presidential candidate.
		In 1924, while he was working on Oscar Underwood's campaign for the Democratic nomination for president, a disgruntled former admirer wrote to him, calling him the "biggest hypocrite under the sun" for conniving with Underwood and Alf Tunstall, both of whom were regarded as "wets." Comer received similar letters from other Prohibitionists.
		In 1924, Comer wrote an acerbic letter to a publishing company saying refusing the Company's offer of a book on Braxton Bragg because he was named in honor of the general's conduct at the Battle of Buena Vista in the Mexican War and not in Civil War, of which he did not approve.

	DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
		The 1968 Democratic National Convention was held in Chicago by the United States Democratic Party, for the purposes of choosing the Democratic nominee for the 1968 U.S. Presidential Election.

	An historical analysis of the apportionment of delegate votes at the National Conventions of the two major parties
		When the first Democratic National Convention was held to choose the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates for the 1832 Election, the delegate apportionment among the States was very simple: it was equal to the number of Electoral Votes each State would have in the upcoming General Election.
		By 1932, although the Democratic Convention that year was the last in which it would be used, the "2/3 rule" was clearly in its death throes: many at that Convention openly opposed the rule, including the eventual nominee and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
		By the end of the Republican Convention, a minimum of 1,034 delegates (a majority) will have voted for the Republican nominee for President; likewise, by the end of the Democratic Convention, a minimum of some 2,170 delegates (a majority) will have voted for the Democratic nominee for President.

	Welcome to The American Presidency
		At the Democratic National Convention of 1924, Roosevelt signaled his return to politics with the Happy Warrior speech that placed Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York in nomination for the presidency.
		In the process he converted the Democratic party to majority status through its appeal to urban, minority-group, and laboring-class voters and made it the vehicle of liberal reform in the 20th century.
		Faced with the prospect of governing the nation in the worst economic crisis in its history, Roosevelt desired an examination of causes and remedies free from the pressures of a political campaign.

		Conventions in the modern age have only one plausible purpose, and that is to gather the faithful under one roof.
		Conventional wisdom suggested it was a good thing, would provide some sort of value well after the Democrats left town and generate an economic windfall when they were here.
		The Democrats could have lived without the civil war that broke out in the streets of Chicago in 1968, and the Republicans sure could have lived without the call to arms in the cultural wars that Pat Buchanan proclaimed at the Houston convention in 1992.

		In the early thirties, the phrase was applied to Harlem by jazz buffs, and a nightclub called ‘The Big Apple’ flourished; a frenetic dance by that name popularized the term nationally.

	Encyclopedia: Locarno Treaty
		Germany also signed arbitration conventions with France and Belgium and arbitration treaties with Poland and Czechoslovakia, undertaking to refer disputes to an arbitral tribunal or to the Permanent Court of International Justice.
		The "spirit of Locarno" was seen in Germany's September 1926 admission to the League of Nations, the international organisation established under the Versailles treaty to promote world peace and co-operation, and in the subsequent withdrawal (completed in June 1930) of Allied troops from Germany's western Rhineland.
		The Locarno Treaties were regarded as the keystone of the improved western European diplomatic climate of the period 1924-1930, though tension persisted in eastern Europe.
