 the roll, yielded to New York. That was the signal for the first outburst of applause. In the midst of the cheering former Governor Black made his way to the platform. Speaker Cannon took him to the front and charaeteristically him to the audience. But the orator chosen to present the name of Roosevelt needed no introduction. The delegates proved this and also that they knew his mission by giving him a rousing reception before permitting him to proceed.
 MT. Black entertained his audience by an address on party principles. He compared republican standards with those of other parties. With his keen sense of humor and the deep thought he displayed in his address the orator fascinated always and frequently cleo trified his listeners. He led up to the nomination gradually by defining the type of man best suited for the party color bearer. As he named Theodore Roosevelt as the best example of that type the convention rose. The New York delegation led in the cheering, which almost immediately spread to every part of the floor, to the galleries and to the crowds which filled the en- frances and overf1owed into the streets.
 After the crowd had yelled itself hoarse it permitted the band to partici- pate in the demonstration. The leader chose patriotic music, and the familiar words were taken up by the convention and sung with earnestness. The band changed into rag time and the conven- ton found that cheering was better timed to the music. There was no pause in the enthusiasm. Several times Speaker Cannon walked out on the projection to the platform extending between rows of press seats and lifted his hands for order. The crowd thought he was leading the applause and paid no attention.
 When from sheer exhaustion the throng lessened it's tumult Speaker Cannon found his opportunity. Going to the very edge of the platform he knelt and pounded the floor for order.
 When he received the attention of the convention he announced that the flag he had been waving was sacred to the party as the national emblem waved when the beloved Lincoln was the choice of the first republican conven- tion. His speech caused another out burst in honor of the flag.
 Senator Beveridge was recognized by the chairman for the purpose of second- ing the nomination of MT. Roosevelt for president. He was followed by George A. Knight of California. MT. Knight has a voice which fairly thundered through the hall. He opened his speech by a statement concerning the broad expanse of republican harmony. Geo graphic" he roared, and some wit in the extreme end of the hall shouted in response, Not so loud.D The conven- ton laughed, and so did MT. Knight. The orator from the Golden Gate city had the convention with, him from the 1 first. His speech was pointed and MT. Knight proved himself a maker of | phrases. On the canal and the reasons actuating the administration in taking the policy it did, MT. Knight, in conclu- sion, said of President Roosevelt:
 "He wanted to give job to Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam wanted the job and he took it. And UncleaSam belongs tc the union"
 The California delegates started 6 parade around the convention hall al l the close of MT. Knights speech, bu' Speaker Cannon wanted to get on witt business. Accordingly, as soon as ht | could make himself heard, he recog | nized the next speaker. The secondine speeches following that of MT. Knigh were made by Harry Stillwell Edwards of Georgia, former Governor Bradley o Kentucky; Joseph B. Cotton of Mime sota, and Harry s. Cummings of Mary land. MT. Cummings is one of the col ored delegates, and he told of the col ored mans service to the republican party and his interest in Presiden Roosevelt.
 The roll was called and the unani nous votes of delegations recorded fo MT. Roosevelt without incident until tn name of New Jersey was reached. Ney Jersey asked unanimous consent tha the roll be dispensed with, and that tn secretary of the convention be instruct ed to cast the entire vote for MI
 Roosevelt. The objection was general and every state accepted the opportuni ty of casting it's entire vote for tn
 president.
 Pandemonium broke loose again whel Speaker Cannon announced that in tn convention there were 994 votes, an
 994 had been cast for Roosevelt.
