speech nominating Judge Parker i'm
mediately pleased his audience and
when he concluded pandemonium
reigned. Flags waved, banners were
held aloft and great as was the crowd
delegates carrying the standards of the
Parker states paraded through the con-
vention, pushing, trampling and fight
ing all who INSTRUCTED their progress
The scene was one of tremendous confu-
sion. Then was enacted scene that re-
called an incident of the democratic con-
vention in Chicago which nominated
William Jennings Bryan eight years !
ago. Like Minnie Murray, the woman
in white" who from gallery over the
stage led cheering for Bryan, two girls
in white sprang to the front of the plat
form and waved flowers and flags. The
young women were Misses Adelae and
Evelyn Haywood, Of st. Louis. With
renewed outbursts the immense throng
cheered them until a picture of Judge
Parker, on by 9-foot canvass detract-
ed the thunderous cheering thousands.
The cheering continued fully rs min
utes. Even then ten minutes elapsed be-
| fore the chairman dared to call the next
state. Arkansas yielded to Tennessee
and Senator Carmack took the platform
and seconded the nomination of Judge
| Parker There was great confusion dur
ing the speech.
