Vice President Fairbanks. Gov. Hanly l
was subjected 10 outrageous treatment
at the hands OF the convention. 1t is
true that his speech was frightfully long
and not particularly eloquent
When Indiana's governor got upon the
platform the Indianians cheered him, but
all the other delegates did not seem TO
think that there was such a man as
Fairbanks alive. Hanly had spoken fif-
teen minutes when the familiar cry Of
Time. time" went up from all parts OF
the hall Turning TO Senator Lodge. Gov
Hanly said Bang that gavel Of yours
and get order here"
Senator Lodge got the convention quiet
for p moment Hanly proceeded and de-
clared Indiana appeals to you not alone

Grafton but in her own behalf, IN behalf
OF the party whose fortunes she has long
and faithfully followed. in behalf OF the
country itself-the country Of which she

peals TO you for thoughtful consideration,

Hanly had not finished these comments
before there was an outbreak against
him. Nominate your man! Nominate
your man" Hurry up!" sit DOWN.
were some OF the cries hurled at Hauly
Hanly turned 10 Lodge and said: when
order is restored here, I will proceed.
Mr.. Chairman" Hanly was then greeted
with laughter and "hi-hi's'' and "yi-yi's'
as he resumed his speech.
In order 20 make some Of his points
more effective, Mr.. Hanly would olap his
hands. Instantly the audience would clap
10, 600 hands back at him. This aroused
great laughter: but Hanly is a stubborn.
sturdy sort Of citizen, and he continued
to emphasize what he believed to be tell
ing points IN his speech by continuing 70
clap his hands. He olapped and the great
audience clapped, and there were cheers
and shouts of laughter and the greatest
disturbance. High above the din Hanly
roared; Il can stay here till night, and
1 VIII II order is not restored
Lodge Restores Order.
Permanent Chairman Lodge then had q
great banging match with his gavel, and
something like order was restored.
Hanly had that unfortunate trick OF
elapping his hands 70 re-enforce his state
ments. Every time he did II the audi
fashion, and then the uproar and trouble
would be renewed and Lodge would try
to get order again. But Hanly insisted
upon making his speech: he would not be
downed.
Senator Lodge appealed to him. and
others appealed TO him. not to resume
his handcIapping trick, for 1t only aroused
the vast assemblage to ridicule and re.
