The lights were switched on, and
the rollcall proceeded. California
yielded to Oregon, and ex-senator
Gearin seconded the nomination of
Bryan in behalf of his own Common
wealth, California and Washington.
Mrs. A. Hughes, of Troy, Bell Coun-
ty, Texas, who had been carrying the
standard of the Lone Star State
throughout the excitement, did not
desist until Senator Gearin began his
speech. Then she sat with the Texas
delegation, apparently cool and COM
Portable, with not a strand of her
brown hair d~isarranged, not a wrinkle
in her filmy gown. And all around
her men who had been doing nothing
but cheer were whiting.
Senator Gearin was brief, and Ar
kansas, which had been passed in the
r~ollcall, yielded to Governor Glenn, of
North Carolina, who made the chief
seconding speech.
Governor Swanson, of Virginia, by
courtesy of Colorado, made a second
ing Grafton. He is a tabloid orator
and got away with credit.
Governor Johnson's candidacy was
next placed before the convention,
Connecticut on the roll call yielding
to Minnesota, represented by the Hon.
Winfield Scott Hammond. He was
accorded careful attention and his
nomination of Minnesota's Governor
precipitated another whirlwind of ex-
|citement, if not so long sustained,
hardly less enthusiastic, than that for

seconding speeches to five minutes.
Alabama yielded to Indiana, and
Thomas R. Marshall, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of that State,
took the platform and nominated.
Kern.
Others placed in nomination were:
Clark Howell, of Georgia; Archibald
Mcneil, of Connecticut; Charles A.
Towne, of New York.
Charles A. Towne took the plat
form and withdrew in favor of Kern.
Hill, of Georgia, then withdrew the
name of Clark Howell. Connecticut
then withdrew the name of Mcneil
and moved that the nomination be
made by reclamation. The question
was put by Congressman Ollie James,
of Kentucky, who was in the chair,
and a o of "Aye!" filled the ticket.
The thanks of the convention were
rendered to Thomas Taggart, the re-
firing National Committee chairman;
to the city of Denver and to Tenn
porary Chairman Bell and Permanent
Chairman Clayton.
Mr.. Clayton was appointed chair
man of the committee to notify Mr..
Bryan of his nomination, and Mr..
Bell, chairman of the committee to
notify Mr.. Kern.
At 4.21 p. N. the motion to adj
journ sine die was put and carried,
and the convention was over.
Denver, Col.-The striking feature
of the fourth session Of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, which be-
gan at II o'clock a. H., was the de-
livery of the keynote" speech by
Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama, the
permanent chairman. The session
adjourned about 2 o'clock until 7 p.
M, as the Committee on Resolutions
was not ready to report.
At 11.31 Chairman Bell called the
convention to order. Every seat in
the hall vas filled and the people had
been waiting patiently since II a. M.
At 11.40 the convention was quiet
and the chairman announced that the
prayer would be made by Rabbi Sam
uel Koch, of Seattle.
AS Mr.. Clayton began his speech
three little girls dressed in red, white
and blue bunting came down the steps
behind him, each with a large bunch
of red roses. The speaker was inter-
rupted while the tots presented their

The speech lasted exactly an hour.

Clayton was frequently interrupted

After the list of honorary vice-pres-
idents Of the convention had been
read Mr.. Kern put in an appearance
and announced that the Committee
on Resolutions would be ready to re-
port at Z O'Clock, whereupon Senator
Thomas F. Grady, of New York,
moved an adjournment until that
hour, and the motion was carried.
The hall was absolutely damned at
7 o'clock, when the convention re-
assembled, and still they sifted
through the doors. Every inch of
standing space was held. Every spec
tator and delegate had a small Amer
lean flag in readiness for the Bryan
demonstration later in the night.
There developed a fashion of waving
these flags N time with the music,
and 1900 American flags futtering
against a four-sided background of
red, white and blue is a sight to make
any American citizen stand up and
take vocal notice.
By s o'clock the crowd was begin
ming to jam the aisles. Every en-
trance was immovably packed when
Chairman Clayton called the conven-
ton to order. A committee of three
was appointed to go out and find
what the Resolutions Committee
might be doing.
Ollie James, chairman of the
sleuthing committee, reported that
the Resolutions Committee wouldn't
be ready to report until midnight. In
view of the situation, he made a mo-
ton that the nominations for the
Presidency be made in advance of the
platform adoption. He made the
provision that there be no balloting
until after the platform should be
voted upon, and his resolution was
adopted.
At 8 O'Clock the nominating
speeches began, and delegates and
spectators were stirred with eager

Athlete Finds Better Training Food.

It was formerly the belief that to
become strong, athletes must eat
plenty of meat.
This is all out of date now, and
many trainers feed athletes on the
well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made

down to a small portion, once a day.

At GA o'clock, when the demon
stration was eight minutes old, the
parade of standard and banner bear
ers through the hall began. Up and
down and across the section DEVOTED
to the delegates and a~lternates the
long line weaved, bobbingly and slow.
By this time the noise had assumed
the proportions of the roar of Nj
agara. The musicians in the. gallery
blew themselves blue in the face, but
the melody they were making was in
audible in the tornado of vocal energy
that swept up to the walls and star
bedecked ceilings and descended
again with tympanum splitting force.
The leader of the band switched
from general airs to old familiar
tunes that any American can sing.
The first was the Red, White and
Blue" A few in the galleries took
up the words, the spirit spread, and
in a few seconds the words were in
the mouths of 10000, and listeners
were treated to a thrilling rendition
of the national air.
At 9.36 Chairman Clayton, possibly
deeming half an hour sufficient for
the show of loyalty to Bryan, smashed
his gayel against the table. If he
was sincere in desiring to still the
tumult, he took the wrong method of
accomplishing his object, for the
sound of the gavel was the signal for
a renewal of the hysteria and con-
certed noise-making.
