CHICAGO. ILL, June lit is said
tonight that President Roosevelt hir-
self was an actual listener to the wild
demonstrations OF enthusiasm which
greeted his name in the convention this
afternoon.
Remarkable as this may seem. It was
accounted for by the following circum-
stances: Hanging ten feet above the
heads OF the delegates and Immediately.
In front of the platform are four black
discs, Hoped by wires and Joined by
small central cable leading from the
hall. Many have wondered at these
discs, believing them to be a part OF
the system for electrical display. AS a
matter of fact they are q combination
of telephone and photograph, taking
UP the proceedings as they occur and
transmitting each swell OF oratory
and each throb of enthusiastic applause.
According to the reports tonight one
of the wires was cut into the White
House early this afternoon, and the
President in person, with the receivers
to his ears, caught the words OF Lodge
as he electrified the vast assemblase
and the echoing shouts which ebbed
and flowed for fully forty-five minutes.
