The close of his speech of Examination was the signal for loosing The long pent-up feeling of the Taft Uegions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other Taft states Following, while the convention hosts, n gallery and on floor. broke into mad Demonstration. For 10, 15, 20 minutes ybis uproar continued. At last the Dhout. and subsided

 This demonstration was decidedly the feature of day otherwise notable for stirring speech from the perma- nent chairman of the convention. Sen- ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu- sets. for much practical procedure in placing the convention on a smooth running basis and for the final defeat of the plan to reduce the representa- ton of southern states at future na- tional conventions.

 The president" exclaimed MT. Lodge. "is the best abused and most popular man in the United States to- day"
