merged into the futile, stupid attempt
to stampede the crowd to Roosevelt,
and for a quarter of an hour the
yelling continued
1t was quoted as the roll call on
president began and continued down
to Iowa. There a silence fell, and con-
tinued until Taft was nominated.
Now written down here in a thou
sand words, this seems like the story
of stirring episode. Yet it covers
events that lasted from 10 o'clock
until $50. There was some formal
cheering of something like two and
six-elevenths seconds for each of the
allies, and this is the best part of it
al1-those who had sought the nom
nation the hardest, Cannon and
Knox and Fairbanks, got no more
than Foraker, who took what he
could pick up. There were no diff
ferences between the SIS picture fire
works and the ten-cent roman candle
