The hall began to grow oppressively
warm. The wind that for three days had
blown cool and fresh across the lake had
died. and the sun beat down on the great
iron roof. Inside the temperature rose rap
idly. and handkerchiefs and fans were in
great demand. Across the great floor and

democracy caught the fancy Of his hearers
and were approved by applause. His clos

When Alabama responded with her entire
vote for Roosevelt there was a cheer. AS
the states followed in alphabe order
and each response ended with the words
Theodore Roosevelt" the cheer was re-
peated.
An effort was made by New Jersey to
suspend further calling of the roll. but
the convention protested loudly. Senator
Platt of New York had been on his feet
to make the announcement for his state.
and when his state was called next the
convention became enthusiastic at the
announcement.
Texas also got a cheer as c. A. Boynton
made the announcement for Roosevelt.
