Parker" Alton 3. Parker" how
ever, and things again broke loose.
The demonstration lasted 25 min
uteS.
The Parker picture was carried from
the platform and placed near New
York's position in the hall. 1t was
soon taken down but just the instant
it was lowered, the California delega-
tion displayed a Hearst picture, cnly
for an instant, but it was long enough
for his following among the delegates
to catch sight # it and rising shout
went up. 1t kindled again the dying
demonstration for Parker. We

the band and when the air was con-
Guided quiet was once more restored
in the great hall.

proceeding with the ca Of States at

tion.
Senator Carnack Of that State was
recognized aud at once took the plat
form and began speech in second Of
the nomination OF Judge Parker.
HEARST'S NAME PRESENTED.
Mr.. Delmas' address, which closed
with the name Of William Randolph
HeartSt" was the signal f1r cheers
which, while enthusiastic, were much
less in volume than those following
the mention cf Parkers name. A
seven-foot portrait picture Of Hearst
was taken to the platform, another Of
similar sze was raised in the. gallery
back of the platform, while numerous
smaller portraits were shown on long
poles raised from among the delega'
tionS.
The parade around the hall, which
had been carried on during the pre-
ceding dem monstratioD, was quickly IN
dertaken, California leading off and
Arizona, Nevada, South Dakota,
Washington and Wyoming, joining
in. The banner OF the Illinois deleea-
ticn was carried into the line but the
majority Of the delegation did not fol-
low it. The galle!ies joined Justify
in the Hearst applause, making per-
haps a stronger demonstration than
had been made for Parker.
Ia marching around the ball many
Of the Hearst enthusiasts stopped to
shake hands with Mr.. Brayan, who re-
NAMED standing during the early part
of the demonstration. After a severe
fit of coughing, however, Mr. Bryan
took his seat. The band, nothing, If
not impartial, played for Hearst,
America" and followed it up with
Dixie" as it had done for Parker,
and the result was the sane, with the
exception that the Hearst people did
not attempt to sing.
A red.headed enthusiast in a gray
suit was lifted up on the shoulders Of
several men to the left Of the speak
er's platform, and cheered wildly for
Hearst, but he was soon compelled to
climb down for his brjght-colored hair
was too conspicuous target for the
multitude Of paper wads that came in
from all sides. Water was thrown at
him, and in few minutes be scram-
bled spelately for release. When
he reached the floor, he remarked,
That water felt good," but be de-
cllaed to give his name.
A second gentleman with red whisk-
ers mounted chair and attempted a
speech. He, too, was pelted doan
and a policeman took him to the
outerdarkneSS.
ANOTHER WOMAN.
Meantime the demonstration for the
editor. candidate went on, rising and
falling in degree. Fully dozen times
tie line completed the circuit, and
then the California banner was car
ried up to the speakers platform and
the other States massed their emblems
at the foot OF the steps. A young
woman rose up in section L and waved
asmall flag.
She brought TO her side 50 other
people who joined in her tribute, and,
for a time, she was tie heart Of the
storm centre. When she sat down
the end began to cone, 80 minutes
after the first cheering began.
When a half hour had elapsed, Sen
atcr Bailey OF Texas took the presid-
ing oficer'Ss chair, and began rapping
for order, but it was some time before
order could be had. Many Of the del
egates and others began to hiss in dis
approval but this only served to spur
on the Hearst rcoterS and a battle OF
sound ensued.
''The State Of Colorado" called the
clerk. The response was immediate
and Thomas O'Donnel began speech
Seconding the nomination of Judge
Parker. The height of exhaustion
prevailed as Mr.. O'Doanell proceeded,
and approval of his utterances was
confined to his haudclapping.
When Mr.. O'Donnell referred in
terms to the great
leader of the past two campaigns"
there was a demonstration in which
the name Of Bryan was heard above
the uproar.
He invited the 'prodigal who had
been feeding on husks" back into the
fold, for he said, "we need all kinds
of Democrats in this campaign" His
mention of Parker name was greeted
with shouts and applauSed. Colo
RADIO once more joins hands with New
York." he concluded, and the echo
comes back Parker, popular rights
and victory!'"
After tie applause which followed
O'Donnell's conclusion, Connecticut was
called and Walter S. Cummings sec
onded the nomination Of Parker.
Many Of the spectators began leaV-
ing the floor and galleries and the
tramp of their feet was a new disturb
ing element. L. Irving Handy Of
Delaware followed MIR. Cummings,
and nominated Judge George Gray.
