The picture within the walls of the

one truly gradiose In its magnitude.

for the eliminating vote. The fayorite

severe black clerical garb. advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio's can

singing voice OF an evangelist. which
went ringing through the great build
Ing. The close Of his speech of
nomination was the signal for loosing
the long pent-up feeling of the Taft
legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates
were on their feet, other Taft states
following. while the convention hosts.
in gallery and on floor. broke into mad
demonstration.

Megaphones seemed to spring from
concealed places and swell the Taft
tumult into thunder A huge blue silk
banner bearing the familiar features
OF the tatesman-secretary was swung
before the delegates. awakening a
fresh whirlwind of enthusiasm.
All semblance Of order had been
abandoned and the delegates arena
was a maelstrom of gesticulating
men: the guidons of the states were
snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts
or borne under by the storm OF disor-
der. The band was inaudible-a mere
whisper above the deafening volume

Earlier in the day the battle over
the platform had occupied the close at.
tention of delegates and spectators.
The platform as framed by the commit.
tee on resolutions was read hy SIS
chairman Senator Hopkins OF Illinois.
while a minority report. rejecting the
views ~ the supporters ~ Senator
La Toilette. was presented by Con
gresham Cooper of Wisconsin Il
was on one hand the sledgehammer
blows Of the Wisconsin men against
combinations and monopoly. and On
the other hand the warning of Hopkins
against the @socialistic doctrines ~
Wisconsin. The platform was adopt.
ed by an overwhelming vote. after
many separate plauks in the Wisc1u.

verse votes
Shern1n for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice-presl.
dency WIS not made until Friday
When the convention adjourned for
the day Thursday the situation re.
garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled. but before the del
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates
to support Representative James :.
sherman Of New York as the running
mate OF the secretary OF war.
Three names were placed in nomi-
nation when the chairman announced
that nominations were in order Sher-
man was named as New Yorks choice
by Tim Woodruff. former Lieutenant
governor Of the state; Gov Curtis
Guild Of Massachusetts was placed in
nomination by Senator Lodge and Ex-
Gov Franklin Murphy of New Jersey
was named by Thomas n McCarter.
Several brief seconding speeches We're
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun Il was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu-
lar choice of the delegates When
enough votes had been cast to insure
his nomination Senator Crane OF
Massachusetts moved that IL be made
unanimous and il was carried with a
shout Of approval.
The usual motions of acknowledg-
ment 70 the officers Of the convention
and to the city in which 1t was held
we're then passed.

/ this uproar continued At last the
tired voices died down to a hoarse
shout. and subsided.
Seconded by Knight.
This lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nom
nation. by George II. knight Of Cali.
fornia, his big. round face beaming
forth on the sympathetic multitude.
and his splendid baritone voice well
ing forth like the tones OF a great
church organ. California's tribute to
Taft was brief and fervid. Now there
was another lull in the Taft movement.
while the remaining candidates were
placed in nomination.

ing with the intense heat and weary

Demonstration for La Toilette.
But. no; just as the last swell OF
oratory. the seeonding speech for La
Toilette. had died away. like a cyclone
from clear sky burst a La Toilette
demonstration which swept the CON
vention from its very bearings. 1t
was the same deafening wave or sound
that had greeted Roosevelt Wednesday
and Taft little while before, intense
and maddening and with the vital ring
of genuine enthusiasm. II 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.

Amid this pandemonium. and with
the galleries in full control. Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action in
order again to make the convention
master of its affairs. He ordered the
roll call OF states to begin for the
vote on president. Such call, under
such circumstances of intense con-
fusion. has probably never before oc-
Cured in the history of national con-
ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call OF the states
heard above the deafening clamor.
Seizing a megaphone he shouted the
roll OF states-Alabama. Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uproar. Gradually. however. the
curiosity of the multitude conquered
