[0:38] T appear on the floor of the convention
[0:41] and during the period preceding their
[0:45] nomination or their defeat
[0:48] this was his petition was broken back in
[0:51] 52 when Senator kiefover appeared and he
[0:54] got considerable criticism on his
[0:56] appearance with his 1091-year-old father
[0:58] set off a 20-minute demonstration for
[1:00] him Hadley Stevenson is an unannounced
[1:03] candidate but the Kennedy forces seem to
[1:06] think was rather poor face for him to
[1:07] appear here at the hall last night

[1:41] models of Senator John Kennedy doing
[1:43] Justice to you
[1:45] know from this distance I would say no
[1:49] in a curious atmosphere around that
[1:50] Kennedy headquarters for the last two or
[1:52] three days already it's taken on us over
[1:53] presidential Aura you know everyone's
[1:56] speaking very softly and rising from the
[1:58] senator members it even seems to be true
[2:01] of this demonstration it just seems to
[2:03] me that this is sort of a perfunctory
[2:05] parade let's get it over with and get on
[2:07] with the business and
