The Kansas City Convention.


Last week it was the good fortune
of the writer to attend the democratic
national convention at Kansas City
On Wednesday at noon the conven-
ton WAS called to order by Chairman
Jones of the national committee, and
a temporary organization perfected.
It was our luck to secure seat that
commanded view of most remark
able gathering of people. In front,
to the right and left, overhead, I'M
derneath, everywhere were people.
The decorations were flags and more
flags. The hall filed early and final
" orders were given to admit no
moro and hundreds were unable, al
though armed with tickets, to even
enter the mecca of their pilgrim
ages. It would be folly to attempt
to give a detailed account of the pro-
ceedings. After 3 o'clock prayer by
a resident minister, the Declaration
of Independence was read and the
band played America" In mo-
ment the entire audience was singing
to the mueic of the band The effect
was 80 exhilerating that the thous-
auds upon thousands cheered their
own efforts. Order was restored and
after routine business an adjourn
ment was had. Nothing special was
done until evening when the permg-
nent chairman, Mr.. Richardson of
Tennessee, after short address. pro-
nounced the name William Jennings
Bryan" when for thirty minutes the
audience, possibly the greatest ever
gathered under one roof, rose to its
feet and cheered and cheered, and
checred egain and sgain. The out
burst was a spontaneous one. It was
not planned or expected, bat was the
voice of the great common people
honoring thur leader. During the
sessions this same spirit was shown
time and time again. The Kansas
City Star said:
"The convention in Philadelphia
was as tame and insipid as q church
social as compared with the conven-
ton in Kansas City. Indeed, with
out Roosevelt. lawn fete would have
been tumultuous beside the affair in
Philadelphia"
On Thursday the same scenes were
sean again, only the crowd by $40
was the greatest that had attended
any session of the convention. The
gatekeepers we're for once rather lax
IN denying admission to people. and
there were hundreds who had not
tickets OF admission who were al
lowed to enter the building. They
swarmed in upon the floor until it
seemed impossible that there could
be room for one more. Several men
in the gallery crswled out upon the
steel trcsses extending across the
building and dangled their legs fifty
feet above the heads of the people on
sihe first floor. At 4 O'Clock the plat
