est enthusiasm on the part of the dele

Convention in Uproar.
Gov. Black pronounced the nominat-
ing words at just 11:06 o'clock. AS he
did so he retired quickly from the plat
form. But the words Theodore Roose-
velt' had not left his lips when there
was shout. The convention was on
its feet. Like the crash of thunde.
that follows the lightning, the enthus-
iasm began. Flags were in the air,
hats were thrown up, men jumped on
to their chairs, women stood and
shouted. The air was rent with one
continuous prolonged shout from
thousands of threats. So mighty was
the volume of sound that nothing
definite in the way of artlculate sound
band struck up. Its strains, however,
were only family discernible in the
mighty din. Then, Chairman Cannon
took hand. Unfurling a tattered silk
flag, he advanced to the extreme edge
of the platform and began to wave it.
The flag is the property of the Lincoln
Mckinley Association of Missouri and
it made it's first appearance at a re-
publican national convention in 1860
when Lincoln was nominated. 1t was
then carried by the Missouri delega-
ton and was waved over the platform
on that occasion as in this. It was fuel
to the flame of enthusiasm, and tho
volume of sound increased. The front
of the platform was next occupied by
an immense crayon bust portrait Of
President Roosevelt, borne aloft by
three men. Again broke forth fresh
impetus to the continuous shout
The applause continued about %
minutes, when Chairman Cannon Wig

increasing enthusiasm, emphasizing
his points with graceful gesture with
the right hand. The senator's voice
was probably the easiest heard of any
spoken which the convention has yet
heard. Shouts, cheers and cat calls re-
sounded through the hall when the

terry was ever elected president and
! never will be-" Senator Beverages
concluding words: Indiana seconds
the name of Roosevelt" released the
waiting cheer, the band and the flags.

was soon restored.
