placed IN nomination the choice of the
Hoosier State, Gov. Claude Matthews.

the senate his voice was inadequate in
such vast hall. Besides he spoke
from manuscript. The galleries grew
noisy and he could hardly be heard
above the din. To add to the other I'M
fortunate circumstances fireworks
and mortars were being fired outside
the Coliseum. To still further add to
the confusion many people, overfiowed
from the galleries into tsae pit and
crowded along the side aislss 1t was
estimated that fully $4,000 people were
in the building and nothing coah be

closed doors and no one would be adj
mitted. This threat seemed to bring
the thousands of ticket holders TO a
realizing sense OF the fact that they
were in the convention by safferance.
A few more indignant protests from

As he began to speak Boies banner
was held aloft by the Iowa delegate.
He produced a laugh when he stli
that there would be no sensational
performances on the political trapese
with Horace Boies in the White House.
White was given am attentive hearing.
There was no demonstration until he
concluded. The Boies delegates arose
and cheered, but the galleries appear
ed cold.
To a young woman in the south ter
