the name of Roosevelt, the whole con-
vention hall rang with cheers.
AT the conclusion of his speech, it
was moved and seconded that Major
Fred X. Reed of Lincoln, be appointed
temporary chairman, and C. T. Nc
Donald or Idaho, be appointed as tenn
porary secretary. The vice chairman
appointed Col. Hamer and Judge Truitt
to escort the temporary chairman and
secretary to the platform. There was
tremendous applause as they went up.
| When the din ceased, Major Reed was
introduced, and made brief
speech Major Reed began by saying:
Gentlemen, little realized when l
came in here thirty years ago, with a
very poor, detected team of cayuse
ponies hitched to about twenty-dollar
wagon that would have the honor and
pleasure OF presiding over a conven-
t1on that looks as good to me as you
do" Further, he referred to Cover
nor Gooding and the fact that he had
been called East, and could not attend
the convention, and to Senator Hey
burn, and to Senator Borah In con-
nection with Senator Borah he said: (:
When man has been accused and
of his accusers, and disproved the ac-
cusation as he has, the only thing we
can do Is to accept him at his his face
value" The listeners seemed to be
fully in sympathy with these state
ments, judging from the applause
which followed Later he said Of Con-
gressman French: when a young
man from new state in the North
west goes to congress, the United
States army does not turn out. the
White House is not thrown open,
Pennsylvania avenue Is not strewn
with American Beauty roses, to greet
this young man from the West, but
he is an earnest, capable, hardworkipg
| representative of the State OF Idaho,
and he Is making good"
The temporary secretary was then
