ROOSEVELT YELL IN CHICAGO CONVENTION
LASTS THREE QUARTERS OF AN HOUR

The Cannon contingent called out
renewed cheering and cries OF "Hur-
rah for Uncle Joe"
Another Knox club from Philadel-
phia bearing big banners and headed
by band playing Dixie" was next
in the long line of demonstrants and
was greeted with loud cheering in
which the Pennsylvania delegation
led.
The Pennsylvanians' drum major
was quite the most gorgeous person
age who had entered the convention
hall.
Knox. Knox, We Must Have
Knox" cried the Philadelphians. and
their demand was echoed by their
delegates, who took to their feet and
waved vigorously their blue Knox
pennants.
Still another band came roaring
through the doorway. and it was the
turn of Indiana. Behind the band,

President-not by name but by the
office
THE President has fearlessly en-
forced the laws as he found them upon
the statute books" Cheers came from
many quarters of the hall at this, but
their duration was comparatively brief
and Senator Lodge hastened to re
sumo. In few minutes however, he
came again to the President with the
declaration that in enforcing the law
the bayonets of duty must hurt some
body.
And the result" he went on sis
that the President is the most abused
and most popular man in the United
States today"
At this the first real demonstration
broke loose. For time the cheering
appeared desultory, but after minute
or two some of the delegates from the
territories jumped from their chairs
and a great roar burst from all over
the hall. AS the cheers came forth
Senator Lodge remarked to his friends
on the platform:
"They said there was no Roosevelt
feeling in this convention, but l will
show them that there is"
The speaker exhibited pleasure at
the demonstration. Colorado. West
Virginia, Texas and North Carolina
took up the cheering.
The Ohio delegation remained seat
ed and silent. AS the demonstration
continued the cheers came in great
waves, dying away almost to nothing
one instant and then breaking out
afresh with increased enthusiasm.
The galleries took UP the demon
stration with a will and helped to
maintain it for a long time.
On the far side Of the gallery num-
ber OF men waved star spangled ban
ner umbrellas over the railing and the
uproar broke out again on the floor
below. One Louisiana delegate pulled
off his coat and swung it around and

the manifold merits of Bill Taft.
Bringing up the rear of the departing
Ohioans was a large stage elephant dec

The demonstrations of the marching
clubs continued until Ills p. m. when
the convention resumed its more ser
ious work.

severe attack of infiammatory rheuma-

had three large bed sores on my back.

appetite was very poor. l tried many
sure cures but they were of little

escort the permanent chairman to the
platform
Gen. Woodford mounted the ros-
trum first followed closely by Sena-
tor Lodge, Gov. Deneen bringing up
the rear. Renewed applause greeted
their appearance and after the two
chairmen had bowed and shaken
hands, Senator Burrows, advancing to
the front of the platform introduced
Senator Lodge.
AS Senator Lodge stepped forward
to the speakers table, manuscript in
hand, he was loudly cheered.
In voice clear TO the utmost cor
ners of the vast auditorium he began
by thanking the delegates for the
honor of his selection to preside perm
anently over the deliberations of the
convention.
His address had a welcome touch of
campaign atmosphere about it and the
cheers were not long in breaking forth
in frequent and constantly increasing
enthusiasm. Senator Lodges drawing
of contrasts between the Republican
and Democratic party was plain TO
the delegates He said, amid laugh
ter and cheers, that it was the main
object of the Democrats TO keep their
past history dark, while the Republi-
cans were anxious to publish theirs to
the world.
IF We refer to the past" he de-
clared, they accuse us of calumny."
There was much laughter and
cheers at this. which was renewed
when he said: The Democrats now
could only appeal, Judge us on our un-
discovered future.
I'VE say" he continued, read our
record and judge us there.
Turning from his taunting of the
Democrats, Senator Lodge seriously
discussed the record of achievements
under Republican administrations OF
recent years and it was in this con-
