The men who sat at the speakers 9
table did their best to deliver the mes
sages they had prepared for the occas-
ion, but the confusion was so great that
the voice Of Toastmaster Williams was
lost to everyone more than fifty feet
away.
When e.rmer Senator Blackburn the
first speaker, mounted the table this act
was taken as sign that he had been
introduced. He exhibited gestures
which aroused applause, but his usual
eloquence failed utterly to still the
crowd. Occasionally the words, demo
cratic party" could be caugnt and they
were all the audience needed as sign
for renewed, outbursts OF hand clapping
and cheering interspersed with rebel
yells."
It was apparent that too much ha Y
been planed In the way of banquet

coustics too bad to permit of any
semblance OF order.
Champ Clark was asked to speak a.

unwilling to risk his throat talking

The diners by this time had all left
their places and were either visiting
with each other or standing several
rows deep about the speakers tafle.
Following Senator Blackburn. the
toastmaster introduced Representative

a member Of the Balllnger Pinchot In

has a stenor,an voice, but even ne could
not be heard much more than twenty
