Now began the vote, taken amid
confusion first, which increased as
the figures climbed upward to the
nominating point. The result was
never in doubt, as the totals of states
were heaped one upon another. There
were scattering votes, but the great
body of delegates swelled the total for
Sherman until it touched SIG. With
keen appreciation of the effect of clis
max, Chairman Lodge announced the
result, re~serving Sherman's total until
the last:

enthusiasts were allowed to wear
themselves out. At the end of three
quarters Of an hour Senator Lodge
was able to resume and conclude his
address. The report of the commit

and after a brief debate the Burke
resolution to cut down the representa-

convention then adjourned until 10
O'Clock Thursday morning.

welt threw the convention into a fren-

in duration. But there is a limit to
the physical sourc of throat and
lungs; relays had o been establish

down to a hoarse shout and at last

the convention. now literally swelter-
ing with the intense heat, weary after
nearly hours of continuous ses-
sion, reached the end OF the food OF
eloquence, and the decks were at last
cleared for the eliminating act. But
no, just as the last swell of oratory,
the ~seconding speech for La Toilette,
had died away, like a cyclone from a
clear sky burst a La Toilette demon
stration which swept the convention
from its very bearings. 1t was the
same deafening wave OF sound that
had greeted Roosevelt Wednesday
and Taft a little while before, intense
and maddening and with the vital ring
of genuine enthusiasm. 1t seemed as
though wisconsin had suddenly peo-
pied every foot of the galleries. The
delegates sat calm and waiting ex-
cept the frantic Wisconsins, but the
convention for the time being was in
the possession of the galleries.
Another One for Roosevelt.
Now a singular Transformation oc-
curred-gradually the whirlwind veer-
ed from La Toilette to Roosevelt. A
banner bearing the Roosevelt portrait
and waved from the gallery was the
signal for the change, but in the con-
fused babel Of voices there was no
distinguishing where the La Toilette
cheers ended and those for Roosevelt
began.

tie sons of other states had been
named, save Knox and La Toilette,

roll call of state to begin for the vote

A hush of expectancy hung owe the
