This convention's second ballot saw twenty-two delegates cast their nominations for comedian Will Rogers. A the president of the Empire State Building attempted to nominate Cleveland's Newton Baker, but William Randolph Hearst intervened against that move at the urging of Joseph Kennedy. William McAdoo ultimately ended the stalemate here by convincing John Nance Garner to drop out and throw his support to the incumbent Governor of New York. For 10 points, name this convention which chose not to give a second consecutive nomination to Al Smith, instead allowing Franklin Roosevelt to run for his first term as President.
