 Mir Hobson then took the floor. He quickly took up the Japanese question, asserting. that an Oriental monarchy was trying to interfere with home government in this country He argued the great danger from Japan, selaborat- ing many significant facts.
 There was frequent appiause.' and some Interruption He concluded with the assertion that Democracy would win this fall and the Democratic admin istration would be faced with a great foreign war At this there was con siderable uproar of disapproval. He then quoted an expression of, the Wme opinion by President Roosevelt only Q few sweeks ago. This led to renewed disapprovaI and disorder. .
 The chairman continually rapped for quiet Finally he threatened to- clear the galleries and order was resumed.
 Mr. Hobson predicted the grinding to powder of the party which should; be found with this responsibility and uh- prepared for it.
