four times to the prolonged cheering
Finally he turned and escorted Mrs
Roosevelt to the railing of his box,
and they stood for several minutes
bowling to the crowd. Following a con.
ference with members of his party,
the president again went to the edge
of his box, and, motioning to the band
at the opposite end of the hall, clap
ped his hands indicating the pleasure
their music had given him. This
again called forth tremendous ap
