CTS stand. There the state standards clustered thickest and the marchers stood and yelled like men whose po- litical enthusiasm had for the time being bereft them of all sense. Af- ter thirty minutes demonstration the pounding of Chairman Clayton's inn mense gavel could be heard above the roar of the crowd. At this time many women who had been brought to the floor by their | husbands among the delegates, in danger of being crushed by the fran tic shouters and marchers, sought lrefuge in sections set apart for the newspaber men, which had been kept reasonably clear of invaders after the first great onslaught. | BRYAN HEARD IT ALL. | A feature of the demonstration never before a part of national con vention was the greater part of the cheering and uproar was distinctly heard by the candidate at his home 500 miles away. A telephone to which wires were attached and an immense megaphone had been placed in the hall MT. Bryan at the other end of the wire was at Fairview where he was able to hear the cheering which willed the hall.
 We won't go home till morning played the band and the crowd yelled in approval
 | At 20 pm. when the demonstra tion's last cry had died away. Chair man Clayton directed the secretary to continue the call of the states. Arkansas passed. California yielded to Oregon.

 JOHNSON'S NAME. The opportunity of the Johnson supporters came when the roll call reached Connecticut, which state gave way to Minnesota. Winfield S. Hammond of the latter state then took the stand and amid a consider able volume of applause placed in nomination Governor John A. John | son or Minnesota.
 By the time that Governor Johnson was placed in nomination the gallery crowds had materially dwindled The 1 aisles were no longer filled and there were many empty chairs. That all the cheers had not yet been | killed in the convention was made | manifest when Hammond concluded. | The loyal sons of the North Star state | responded to cheer. and a number of | delegates in Massachusetts and Okla | homa jumped in. Some Georgia dele | gates mounted chairs and after few minutes added their voices to those of | the Minnesota men.
