San Juan hill, and MS reference to the
Governors campaign was eloquent ana
touching.
The demonstration which followed the
announcement by Colonel Young of Gov
ernor Roosevelt as the CANDIDATE of the
young men of the country, who represent
ed their desires and ambitions and en-
Bodied their patriotism and Americanism,
was not second to that accorded to the
Presidents name. The vast assemblage
sprang to its feet and State emblems
pr mpas plumes, handkerchiefs and hats
/ fairly filled the air. The band in the
main gallery began to play ''There'u Be
a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
ard to the inspiring strains the delegates
began marching around the hall, filing
past Governor Roosevelt as he sat in the
/ New York delegation and extending to

Roosevelt returned profound bow.
Several of the Kansas delegates remoy-
ed their beautiful silk sunfiower badges
and threw them upon Governor Roosevelt

was an inspiring demonstration. Mrs
Roosevelt looked down upon it from her
position of vantage in the side gallery.
she was pale as paper, but appeared
smiling and happy. The demonstration
continued for six minutes and forty sec
onds, during which time Governor Roose-
welt received the congratulations OF his
friends, looking the while like a bronze
statue, so imperturbed was he.
The delegates still choked the aisles
grasping the Governors hands and with
difficulty the chairman restored quiet and
recognized Butler Murray of Massachl-

DEPEW ADDS TO ENTHUSIASM
The benign face of the post-prandial
orator looked down, and, with his musi-
cal voice, began an impromptu tribute to
the hero of the hour. He was in good
hup oil hi of
jocosity in referring to Teddy and the
get there qualities of Young America
brought out a storm of mingled laughter
and applause. He pictures Teddy as
the child of Fifth avenue, the cultured
product of Harvard, the cowboy of The
plains, the vitalizing force in marshaling
the American ships to overwhelm The
Spaniards, the impetuous leader at San
tiago and San Juan and the idolized Gov

too, the dude" becoming a Cowboy"
the cowboy becoming a soldier, the
soldier becoming a hero and the hero,
blade in hand, in the press of battle,
shouting, Give 'em -, boys.''
