were troubles ONE during much of the
time and Chairman Lodge finally
| threatened to have them cleared I'M
| less the disorder ceased.
The names of the various "favorite
sons" were cheered as presented, but
the Taft demonstration outclassed all
the others, the cheering continuing
for twenty-five minutes, many delega-
lions Selling their standards and
! marching around the hall.
Cannon Nominated First.
When the roll was called for the
nomination of candidates for presi-
dent the clerk ran rapidly down the
list of states and there was no re-
Spouse until Illinois was reached.
Then Representative Bontell of ILL
nois swept to the platform to NOM
mate Speaker Cannon. The enthusi-
astic cheers were quickly hushed as
Mr. Boutell held up his hand for at
tantion and began his address.
Just as Mr.. Boutell commenced his
address Chairman Lodge yielded the
gayel to Senator Hepburn of Idaho
The mention of the name OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt by the speaker called
out burst of cheers, which soon,
however, died away.
The mention of the name of Cannon
was the signal for an uprising of the
Illinois delegation. They mounted
their chairs for a few seconds, cheered
and sat down. Here and there through
out the hall flag or handkerchief
was raised, six or seven of the New
York delegation joining in. Illinois
cheered in royal fashion, but it's fol-
lowing was scant and the entire dem
Onstration was over in almost exactly
two minutes.
While Mr. Boutell was in the most
imprisoned periods of his speech the
Taft and Fairbanks men. who occupied
seats almost at his feet, were busy in
preparing for their turn. They brought
in bundles of small flags, distributing
lions and to all others who would
agree to wave them at the critical
time.
Illinois was up again as Speaker
Cannon was formally placed in NOM
ination and Ohio and a few delegates
from New York paid to Illinois the
tribute of cheers and the waving of
their flags. The explosion of enthu-
siasm, however. lasted only about a
minute.
Fordney Seconds Cannon.
Representative J. w Fordney of
Michigan made the seconding speech |
for Speaker Cannon, taking the plat
form Immediately Mr.. BouteH had con-
cluded his tribute to the candidate of !
Illinois as ''the strongest and bravest I
ally of President Roosevelt" Mr..
Fordaey's speech was brief, but he
did not escape interruption by the ex.
clamation of the gallery visitors, who
were anxious to see something done. ),

Mr. Burton was given most respect
! full attention throughout the hall, but
it was plainly evident that they were
waiting for the supreme moment to
! give vent to their pent up enthusiasm.
AS Mr.. Burton neared the end of his
speech a perfect stiffness pervaded
the chamber. He assured his hearers
that whether in war or in peace Secre-
tary Taft as chief magistrate would
guide the destinies of the nation with
a strong hand and with a gentle patri-
otto heart"
"And So" said he, today in the
presence of 10000 persons and the in
spring thought of the well nigh ten
thousand times ten thousand who
dwell within our borders, I name for
the presidency that perfect type of
American manhood, that peerless rep
resentative of the noblest ideals in our
national life-William H. Taft"
Great Demonstration for Taft.
The demonstration that followed
the name of Ohio on the roll was not
a drop to a deluge compared to the
roar that broke out as Mr.. Burton
concluded. On their chairs with wav-
ing flags, hats and handkerchiefs
stood the men from Taft's home state,
shouting at the top of their voices.
other delegations came in on the wave
and soon delegations from many
states were parading about the hall.
