an upshot of colored bunting the dele
gates of that state were on their feet
with cheers for Vice President Fair
banks A delegate in the Connecticut
delegation lent practically all of the
outside moral support that was given
the Hoosiers. Governor J. Frank
Hanly of Indiana, who was to present
the name of the vice president to the
convention, mounted the rostrum and
was greeted by Chairman Lodge, who
asked him what his name was. The
governor introduced himself and the
chairman presented him to the conven.
tion.
/ After Governor Hanly had been
speaking fifteen minutes the gallery
again grew restive and began to cry:
Nominate him-name him."
Chairman Lodge raped for order
and when 1t was restored the speaker
resumed. The cries broke out fresh
FIVE minutes later, but Governor Hanly
paid no heed to them.

Governor Hanly appealed to the chair
for protection. Chairman Lodge went
to the front of the platform, where he
conferred with Sergeant-at-Arms
Stone and then he spoke briefly and
to the point, admonishing the people
In the galleries that they were pres

"The gentleman presenting the
| name of any candidate Is entitled to
| as much time as he sees fit to use"
Order was finally restored and Gov.

Senator Beyeridge reached up and,

| I'm Indiana" resumed Mr.. Book

hiss-snakes and geese"
Mayor Bookwalter then said that
the Indiana delegation came into the
| convention as Republicans from a
state which has electoral votes to give
to a Republican president, realizing
| that large percentage of those who
refuse to listen came from states that
have never in twenty years done so
and never will unless they get little
political courage.

reactionary, "but still a conservative, "
and one whose record was such that
1t was not necessary for any element
in the party to be outraged by the In

errors in his record on any question.

When Ohio was called the response

neighboring delegations, except Hi

Representative Theodore e. Burton o.
Cleveland, the chosen orator for Taft
walked to the front of the platform in
the midst of another wild demonstra

friends.
Mr.. Burton was given most respect

lit was plainly evident that they were
waiting for the supreme moment te
give vent to their pent up enthusiasm
AS Mr.. Burton neared the end of his
speech a perfect stiffness pervadet
