At this sight the cheers redoubled. The
music of the orchestra was drowned in
the awful din.
At 12:40 o'clock Chairman Lodge or
dered call of the roll of states for bal
loting for president.
The roll call was concluded at 1880
o'clock, Hawaii casting the last two votes

The band struck up THE Battle Cry
of Freedom" the delegates joined in the
chorus, and there was an outburst of ap-
plause.
Then an immense imitation elephant
walked majestically down the center
aisle, causing much amusement
Order was soon restored, because ev-
cry one was eager for the nomination of
Roosevelt to begin. Chairman Lodge ap-
pealed for quiet. He said it would be
impossible to go on without order in the
galleries. He called the attention of the
delegates to the fact that there was

on the roll of states for the nomination of
candidates for vice president the an
nouncement was made by the chairman
of the delegation that Alabama would
yield to Iowa to present n candidate.
Chairman Lodge then recognized Colo
mel Lafe Young. one of the Iowa dele
gates at large. Robust and vigorous in
his physique and in his mentality, Colo
mel Young swung down the main aisle to
the platform to do that which single
orator never before did in Republican
national convention-withdraw one strong
and magnetic man as Il candidate and
present the name of another for the Sec

people. lie withdrew the name of Dolli-

strode toward the platform. Foraker is
u grand looking man. with something of
the imperiousness of Blaine and the
dash OF a Rupert about him. The air
was surcharged with electricity as he
mounted the steps. and when he turned
about, standing there with gray eyes
calmly sweeping the cheering thousands,
the magnetic orator must have been CON
scious Of his power to call up storm
that would sweep through the amphithe-
alter. Below him, about him on either
side, were banked men and women al
most frantically waving hats, handker-
chiefs and pampas plumes.
In full view of the convention he stood
erect, his face as intexihle as though
chiseled in marble, waiting for the ap-
plause to cease. When quiet was re-
stored, he spoke in part as follows:

Alabama yields to Ohio, and
thank her, but Alabama has yielded by
reason of fact that would seem unim-

yielded because our candidate has in fact
already been nominated. He was named
by Senator Wolcott in his able speech of
Tuesday. He was nominated by Senator
Lodge in his address of yesterday and by
the senator from Indiana when he read
the platform. and not only has he been
nominated by them. but by the whole

Democrats and Republicans I!

In fact it matters not with what
political party you are affiliated, you
should be Protectionist in one re-
spect. That is to say you should
protect yourselves against loss by
the destruction of your property by
fire; and what is still more essential,
protect your families against the loss
of their support by the death of the
person who produces that support
the husband the father. This latter
protection can be obtained practical
ly without expense, since it is pos
sible, and in fact compulsory, for the
life insurance company to safely in
vest the funds paid into their hands,
and, after term of years, return
same with profits to policy holders,
if living, on demand.
This matter should command your seri-
GUS attention. Delay is dangerous
and expensive. You will therefore
do well to consult the agent in regard
to the merits of the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Phila-
delphia, which is justly reputed to
be the most conservative and the
most economical as well as the most
liberal and equitable in its dealings
with policy holders.
1t is no experiment or adventure
but by all odds the safest and best
investment you can make, besides
furnishing protection to your family.

53 years old and has over 2O0, 600, 900

an angry sea of tossing color. Flags, red,
