the Auditorium last evening, and a greet
ing It was that was both cordial and
Voctferous. AS he mounted the platform
arm In arm with the senior United States
senator from Minnesota, over 5000 people
rose from their seats and for exactly six
minutes there was but little cessation in
the plaud1ts OF the people. Hats went
into the air, and fluttering white ker-
chiefs all over the hall indicated the
presence Of many ladies. The several
political clubs represented added to the
din Senator Davis, gaveI in hand, tried
TO restore quiet, but 1t was no go. The
people wanted to yell for Teddy" and
they did. They applauded until weary
ana for a brief space enjoyed a rest,
but his address, which followed, occupy
ing just one hour and four minutes time,
was punctuated by frequent bursts Of
applause, and its conclusion was q signal
for another demonstration, such as
Gov. Roosevelt Will probably not soon
forget.
AS soon as the doors were opened the
people commenced to pour In and by
7:45, with few exceptions, every seat in
the large hall had been taken. Delegates
to the national convention Of the Repub-
Hcan league occupied the main body Of
the Auditorium, while marching clubs and
guests with tickets filled the galleries
The Roosevelt Republican club occupied
the gallery just back Of the platform.
On the stage were many prominent men
of the party, and nearly all the candi-

United States Senator Knute Nelson, Col
G. H. Graves, Thomas H. Shevlin, r.

Morgan Post, Minneapolis, and drum
corps marched in to the right gallery
filling a large space and the hall with
noisy music. The Eighth Ward Repub-
ltcan association, numbering several hun
dred, left six special cars in front of the
Auditorium and filled a whole section.
The Minneapolis Journal band flanked
the delegation from Minneapolis and
furnished music at opportune times. All
the Minneapolis visitors carried small
flags and it only took word to set them
to cheering. A large flag was waved
from side to side during the rendition Of
patriotic airs by the Minneapolis news
boys.
It was just S1S when Gov. Roosevelt 8
party entered the hall. He and Senator
Davis advanced to the front Of the stage
in the midst Of the most vigorous ap-
plause. He gracefully acknowledged
each new burst of enthusiasm, and was
One of the delegations presented him
with q large bush Of American Beauty
roses, and some one with less expensive
taste presented him with bunch Of
sweet peas
President Stone, Of the National League
Of Republican clubs, called the meeting
to order and It was some time before
quiet was restored. The Twin City
double male quartette sang two espe-
cialIy composed campaign songs, that
made a hit with the audience.
President Stone secured good attention
from the gathering and introduced Sena-
tor Davis.
Senator Davis was almost as brief in
his introduction of Gov. Roosevelt. MI

heard in the most extreme corners of
this room It is certainly an suspicious
omen that the meeting of the National
League Of Republican Clubs should be
held in the capital city Of a state. that

but Republican candidates for president
Of the United States. With unbroken

Republican electoral vote for president
and vice president Of the country.
