Democratic Convention "Delegates' tempers mount over seating of contested Southern delegates. High point is reached as Mrs. Roosevelt addresses convention [her speech is not shown], receives 15 minute ovation. Then, the big political show moves into the climactic phase -the selection of the candidate- the man who'll battle it out with Ike in November." Various close and wide shots of delegates. Massive ovation; Eleanor Roosevelt waves from the podium. India Edwards hands Mrs. Roosevelt a big piece of paper (some sort of honor).
