He assured the convention that
under Fairbanks there would be no

crowd knew. what he was driving at,
and his usefulness as an orator was
ended.
New York has sense Of humor,
and when tie delegation was called
for New York the delegates rose
laughing and let Gen. Woodford make
the shortest and most appropriate
speech of the day, nominating Hughes.
And when he said that only two men
beyond doubt could carry New York
one being in the White House and
the other in the governors Office at
Albany-he made the crowd FESTIVE
and quit just before his credit gave
out.
The Clarion Note.
The only real clarion note Of the
convention was sounded by knight
Of California, seconding Taft's NOM
ination. For knight has a voice, and
Mr.. Burton of Ohio, who put Taft's
name before the convention grace
fully, was not heard as well as such
a speaker should have been heard.
Knox also was tastefully nominated
with proper eclat and without too
much wind-jamming.
And if the young football player,
Cochem Of Wisconsin, who gave the
convention La Follette's name, had
cut his speech in two, it would have
made the hit of the afternoon. But
he slid past the crowds limit, and the
smile which captivated every one
wore off and he grew angry, and "the
subsequent proceedings interested
him no more"
1t was Mr.. McGee-remember the
name-who, seconding the nomination
of La Toilette, started the whoop
heard round the world. There seems
to be no question that of all the can
didates besides Taft, La Toilette got
the best demonstration.

1t was under orders, and nothing could
move it. So it moved majestically
along. 1t adopted the platform, for
mally voting down, by overwhelming
majorities, planks advocating pub
hcity in campaign contributions
recommended by the president in his
messages, valuation of railroads
recommended by the president in his
messages. and the election of senators
by the people.
A Roosevelt Convention.
For that convention was for Roose-
welt policies only when it had them
in the regular order and the authen-
ticated form. The Roosevelt policies,
as such, did not interest the conven-
ion, for it was under orders and took
only the real milk of the word as-it
came through the committee, and it
believed. and probably with some JUS
LITIGATION, in the fact that Roosevelt
did not care to have his policies come
into the convention by way of Wis
consin.
So it voted for the program and
went on to the next order. And the
next order was the nomination of a
president And that is a serious bust
ness.
1t is curious to know just how forms
and conventions and precedents are
worshired without sense or reason by
apparently clear-headed men. Rut
there sat 1000 delegates and 10000
spectators and listened to five mortal
hours of utterly useless, entirely mean
ingless and absolutely vacuous
speeches. These speeches were made

presidency who had no more chance to
be nominated than they had of pick

The improved condition of Mr..

to indicate that Mr.. Cleveland was not
