Then higher still climbed Hanna He
mounted a table where he could look
out upon the cheering multitude. Be-
side him suddenly appeared a young
girl arrayed in the national colors. AT
| this sight the cheers redoubled. The
music of the orchestra was drowned
in the awful din. The demonstration
had now continued, with scarcely a
lull, for ten minutes. Chairman Lodge
| began to rap for order, but the ring OF
his gavel was of no avail. A Texas del
egate shouted above the roar: Three
| cheers for Mark Hanna" They were
given with will, and then delegate
with Ohio's standard in his hand, dove
down into the main aisle and went ca
reening toward the rear to the music
of John Browns body lies Wondering
| in the ground" Bearers of the stand
ards of other states plunged after him
and down the aisle they swung, start
| ing the whole storm afresh. Then the
procession came back and circled the
pit:
actly fifteen minutes. In the length
of time 1t does not compare with the
prolonged cheer which went up for
Grant in 1880, or for Blaine in 1888,
or for Mckinley in 1896. 1t
was also surpassed in length
of time by the demonstrations at demo-
cratic conventions. This protracted
outburst was but the forerunner of the
pandemonium that reigned a moment
later when Roosevelt. the man of the
hour, mounted the platform to second
the presidents nomination. When the
convention caught sight of him it went
off again like a rocket. AS he stood
there facing the yelling multitude the
| roar could have been heard for blocks.
Hanna smiled blandly as daring
| photographers set up a rapid fire
camera directly in front OF the hero of
San Juan, and began banging away at
him. But Teddy" did not finch. He
looked about him while he waited for
the storm to subside Several times
he raised his hand, but the cheering
continued. His stern, square Jaw was
firmly set as he surveyed the scene.
Only once did his face relax. That
was when he caught sight of his wife,
who sat in the reserve seats overhang-
ing the pit on his right Then he
/ smiled till his teeth showed Mrs
Roosevelt fluttered back her handker-
chief. When finally he was allowed to
begin, he plunged directly to the heart
of his subject in the impetus way
which people so much admire. His
first statement was that he rose to
second the nomination of William Me
klnley who had faced more problems
than any president since Lincoln. The
convention got on its feet and ii was
several minutes before he could pro-
coed. Every movement and every
word was characteristic of the man.
He looked, spoke and acted like one
giving direction to an army about to
so into battle. And nothing would
content him but to storm the heights
as he did at Santiago Roosevelt is no
master OF foil. He prefers broad sword
and as he laid about him with sledge-
hammer blows the multitude went
wild with delight. He had the manu-
script Of his speech In his hand and
referred to it occasionally, discarding
page after page as he finished until
the platform at his feet was strewn
with white sheets. When he reached
the peroration and with a world Of in
