Mrs Porter was the first to, vote.
She spoke out loudly, and her voice
could be heard distinctly on the ros-

SO distinct. when her. name was daIled,,.
but the clerks managed to catch NC

The cheering for the two womA IN was
not confined to any one section bf the

the loudest. perhaps, because n was

William Finn and the members of the

he would have them elected from the

Root had just begun his speech with
the phrase, Believe that appreciate
this expression Of confidence" when
the whole Pennsylvania delegation
broke into jeers

shouted r. R. Quay.
"Mr. Root" demanded Finn, "are
you willing to take this furnished

At this moment he was interrupted
by another outburst of yells from the
Pennsylvanians. Both Quay's and
Films words had been distinctly
heard, however, by Root and all the
delegates.

minutes late IN pounding out with his
gavel the announcement that the show
was about to begin. The Omaha man
looked pitlfully small and weak, and
could not make himself heard ten feet
away from the platform. For fifteen
minutes confusion reigned. and the
chairman was unable to duell It. A
little later, when the Roosevelt adher-
ents we're making their first fight by
seeking to substitute their own fem
posaly roll for that prepared by the
national committee, Mr.. Rosewater
piIcd foebly until some one shouted,
"aptak up, little boy" Then he sue
cunt ed to the roar of laughter and let
a clerk read his rulings.
II was no easy Job keeping tho great
crowd In order, for while the dele
gates themselves we're mostly grim
and tense, apparently imbued with the
idea that they we're making history"
there we're numerous sltillfully placed
claques in the galleries which inter-
ruptej the speakers at frequent inter-
walls.
HadIey Commands Respect.
One man there was who was not
subject TO ribald Interruptions and
jeers. That was Governor Hadley of
Missouri the Roosevelt field captain.
Whenever he arose he was accorded
respectful attention and often hearty
applause, for even his political enc
Rites couldn't think up weak spots in
his record with which to taunt him.
"Bill" Finn, another Roosevelt
fighter, was not so fortunate, but he
seemed to like the storm that ragged
about him and did not give an inch
until squelched by the gavel. Senator
Bradley of Kentucky. too, came in for
share of 'boos" and Kisses and was
stirred to rage by many illusions to
the fact that he had voted in favor OF
Lorimer.
"HeinIeT Cochems in Action.
The little furry in the Wisconsin
delegation, caused by Mr.. Houser's as
sertion that the delegation would not
support Governor McGovern for tenn
porary chairman, gave "Heinie" Coch-
ems a chance to show some of the
spirit which used to take him through
an opposing football eleven. Coch-
ems had placed McGovern In nomi-
nation, and all had gone swimmingly
until Houser got up and protested that
La Toilette would not enter into any
combination with any other candidate,
and therefore the Wisconsin dele
gates should not support the Badger
governor, who was the choice Of the
Roosevelt forces.
Up jumped "Heinie" and, being
given two minutes, explained that the
Wisconsin delegation in caucus had
split on she question, but that he, as
an individual La Toilette delegate, had
presented McGoveFn's name. But"
shouted Cochems, squaring his jaw,
81 dare any progressive delegate from
Wisconsin to vote for Root" And he
made good, for when the ballot was
taken thirteen Badgers voted for the
governor and the other thirteen split
up their votes among North Dakota
men and Mr.. Houser.
Howls for Heney.
For stirring up a tempest, Francis
]. Heney was unequalled by any other
man in the convention. He fought
hard against the seating Of the two
Taft delegates from the Fourth dis
trict of California, and was howled at
by the Taftite galleries. He bobbed
up on various other occasions, notably
in long speech seconding the NOM
ination of McGovern, and was howled

Wild Demonstration for Hadley
Hadley was the man Of the second
days session--Hadley OF Missouri lie
had stepped forward to speak in sup
port of Governor Deneen's motion
which was designed to prevent the rs
contested delegates voting on their
own cases, but before he could utter
word pandemonium broke loose. In
moment every Roosevelt delegate YVES

Roosevelt Men Quit the Fight.


Roosevelt Men Cult the Fight.
The story of the last day of the
convention is one OF much disorder,
quarrels on the floor, sporadic bursts
OF enthusiasm, and, during part Of the
long session, swift work by the we'll
oiled Taft machine. Making their
last futile fight on the seating Of the
contested Taft delegates from Wash

gates voted against the platform sub

FEDERAL SEEKING CiTY'S SUR RENDER EMBRACED AND
 COURTESlES FOLLOW.
AMERICANS ARE TREASURED
Loyal Naval Commander Agrees Not to Fire on City as Fight Goes on-WiIl Prevent Escape
 of Convicts.

Vera Cruz, Oct 23.-A demand for he surrender of the city was sent Monday by Gen. Beltran, the com mander of the federal troops. The etter was brought to the rebel lines Dy Capt. Limon and was couched in most polite terms, concluding with he intimation that if the rebels dd not surrender duty would oblige the federal commander to use force. When he loyal emissary entered the city he embraced the revolutionary coinet who met him. They had been school mates.
 Gen. Felix Diaz, replying to the aote, thanked Gen. Beltran and said he was sorry the situation would com- pei him to offer forcible defense. At the same time he asked Gen. Bel tran to fix the longest possible time tor the evacuation of the city by the non-combatants.
 Diaz then sent copies of both communications to the foreign con- suls, asking that foreigners in the city should make an inventory of the ef- fects left behind when they moved put and promising to indemnify them as soon as possible for the damage that might be entailed by the battle. Diaz also addressed a communication to Capt. Hughes, commander of the United States cruiser Des Moines, say Ing he would conduct the situation ac- cording to international law and spe- officially saying, Ut is unnecessary to iisembark American marines on my account"
 The federal commander also ad- dressed the American consul, saying:
 T shall not attack the city before the lapse of 24 hours, and during that time Americans should seek safety"
 Gen. Diaz has since asked Gen. Beltran to name the time and place at which non-combatants could pass both lines.
 Capt. Hughes has conferred with Commodore Azueta, the federal naval commander, as to what would be his attitude during the fighting. Commo- iore Azueta promised not to partici- pate nor to fire in the direction Of the city.
 Capt Hughes then warned the com modore that any breach of his prom Ise would be considered a hostile act toward the United States. Commo- lore Azueta will keep the guns of his vessel trained on the Island of Uluoa to prevent prisoners from escaping from the jail.

WILSON VOTE BELOW BRYAN
Taft and Roosevelt Combined Also Fall Short of Taft Figures
 Four Years Ago.

New York, Nov. 9.-The latest re- turns from the entire state of New York give Wilson plurality over Taft of 200,255, while that of Sulzer over Hedges is 203,oOO, from the same set of figures. The figures follow:
 Wilson, 650,721; Taft 450,466; Roosevelt, 3S2,463 Sulzer, 651 OCT: Hedges, 44s.o07; Strauss, 3s9,5O0.
 According to these figures, the vote of Wilson this year falls below that given to Bryan in 1908 by 16,747. How much of that went to the Bull Moose party is difficult to say, as the com bined vote for Taft and Roosevelt fell short by 37,141 of that given to Taft four years ago. President Taft re- ceived total of s7O,O7O, and the com bined vote for him and Col. Roosevelt this year was but S32,929.

 welt Jr. and pr. Lambert.

Svosset. L. l., Oct. 23.-Theodore Roosevelt and party arrived here at 9:90 Tuesday morning. This place IS four miles south of Oyster Bay and the train was routed thither in order to avoid any crowd.
 Only handful of persons were on hand when the colonel stepped from his car and walked, unassisted, to an automobile. He was driven immedi- ately to Sagamore Hill.
 The colonel was carefully wrapped up before he got in the automobile, and wore the heavy army overcoat with the bullet hole in it.
 I'm feeling just fine" said the colonel as he waved his hand to the small crowd.
 After a conference with the doctors, George E. Roosevelt said:
 "Col. Roosevelt must have a week of absolute rest If he has rest he possibly will be able to make his Madison Square Garden address Ii he does not get the rest he will be unable to mdhe IL.
 Apology to Town Folk.
 To the town folk at Oyster Bay, who were surprised at not seeing Col. Roosevelt come in there, the follow ing message was sent by his physi- clans:
 "Col. Roosevelt has stood the jour ney well, but we believe him in no condition to stand the excitement of receiving his many friends at Oyster Bay. He deeply appreciates their in terest in his welfare.
 We regret the necessity of avoid ing landing at Oyster Bay, but deem it better for him to go from Syosset to Sagamore Hill"
 When he arrived at Sagamore Hill the colonels wound was dressed and he went to bed at once with instruc tions to remain quiet all day. The physicians said the wound showed nc i'll effects from the trip.
 Flowers had been sent to Sagamore Hill by the school children, but after the receipt of an earnest telegraphiC request from Theodore Roosevelt Jr and Dr. Lambert, the Oyster Bay Pro gressive club abandoned it's plan fol triumphal arch, muster of the club and procession of children way ing flags
