Yesterday afternoon they tOttered into

One feature of the big show-for such it
was in many ways-was the partiality the
women visitors displayed for certain prom
inent figures of the convention. Senator
Beveridge. immaculate in dress and clear
of voice. always caused stir in the gal
leries when he had anything to say. His
position as chairman placed him promi-
nently in sight most of the time and the
picture hats never tired of noddng i'm his
direction. Fred" Landis's youthful figure
his great shock of hair and his blazing
Oratory interested the women 10 the point
Of absolute absorption for the brief time
that he occupied the center OF the stage
Representative Watson attracted lots of at
tenton and Governor Durbln came in for
a chorus of feminine murmurs of compli-
rlent.
\ very noticeable feature of the cOnven-
ton was the intelligent interest manifested
by the women who followed its proceed
ings. Hundreds of them were present at
both sessions and STAYED throughout. Many
