At the opening day OF the national
Republican convention an Chicago adj
yanced the streets took on an appear
ance bordering upon activity. Bands
played in front of the Auditorium and
other convention headquarters. Party
leaders who had nothing TO do but
wait for the hour OF assembly filled
the Hobbies and visited at the rooms
OF the various important delegations.

The first applause TO the incoming
delegates was ripple OF handclaps
from the gallery given TO Senator ALI
son OF Iowa. Senator Dolliver of Iowa
came strolling down the center aisle
shortly after Senator Allison had TAX
en- his seat, and the men in the gallery
from Iowa broke out into applause
the second time.
Senator Allison acknowledged his
reception with smile and bow. but
the junior senator apparently did not
realize that he was being honored. for
he turned his back upon his friends in
the gallery while they were still APP
plauding him. and walked slowly
back TO the seats in the Iowa section.
Throughout the time that elapsed
between the opening of the doors and
that set for t1e formal opening of the

stand raised high above the gallery at
the south end OF the hall, gave a sue
cession OF patriotic music. alternated

quent prayer by the Rev. Timothy p.
Frost followed Then Temporary
Chairman Elihu Root OF New York,
was introduced and addressed the con-
vention. His speech in part was as
follows:
