Mrs. Farley finds session dull
Chicago, Illinois (UP) – (June 26)
Mrs. James A. Farley, wife of President Roosevelt’s former campaign manager, was a center of attention today when she took her place in a box at the Republican convention. Mrs. Farley, a veteran of many Democratic conventions who has said that she would vote Republican rather than for a fourth term, remarked that “there doesn’t seem to be as much excitement as we used to have at the Democratic conventions.”
