sOME EXPECTATION
was INDUCED in by many of those who
came to the hall this evening that a
ballot might be taken before adjourn
ment, but no one who understood the
situation had any idea that the pro-
ceedings would go SO far
under the rules adopted this
forenoon, that the credentials
committee must report and its work
be disposed of and the platform be
adopted before any further business,
even the nomination of candidates, can
be proceeded with.
Among the gentlemen on the plat
form was Henry Smith, late journal
clerk of the House OF Representatives,
who has been requested by Chairman
Estee TO assist him in constructing the
rather complicated code of rules which
govern the lover branch of the national
legislature.
At $50 the convention was called
to order. The auditorium was I'M
comfortably crowded and the atmos-
phere in the hall sitting. The futter-
ing OF thousands of fans did not have
the effect Of causing breath of air to
stir. The secretary read a telegram re-
ceiVed from the Republican State cen
trail committee, OF California, sending
greetings to the convention and return
ing grateful thanks for the honor bes-
tOwed on the Pacific Coast by the cleo
fiOn nF Esfnn Marin boi
Estee announced that the limit of
time for speaking was five minutes and
that all the speakers would be
called to order on time excepting in
presentation of candidates for the Pres
ldency, and so would the convention
hereafter be called to order on time.

Hallowell, of Kansas, amid the most
outburst of applause
