1t looked as though about half of
the spectators in the Coliseum were
women, and they added much to the
liveliness of the scene by their pretty
costumes and their enthusiasm.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
who sat beside her husband in rear

herself. She was not recognized by
more than a dozen persons when she

Friday was devoted to adopting the
various reports from the committee on

Second Day.

When the convention met on Wednes-
day Governor Hadley renewed his mo-
ton to unseat the contested dele
gates. Another test of strength came
when Watson of Indiana moved to re-
fer the motion to the credentials
committee.
Governor Deneen moved to amend
so as to provide that no contested
delegate should vote on the member-
ship. of the committee on credentials
or on its report.
Mr.. Watson moved to table the mo-
ton of Governor Deneen.
Motion carried by vote of 564 to

1t was a wonderful convention, a
convention that suggested in its SOL
emnity, as well as its enthusiasm,
what must have been the spirit of the
men, who met under the Jackson oaks
fifty-six years ago to found the Re-
publican party in defense of the rights
of man.
1t was made up of the Roosevelt
delegates, and as many of the people
here as could get into the hall, which
seats about three thousand. The men
who made up the audieEce were in
dead earnest. They were there for
a purpose.
When a boy got up to the great pipe
organ in the hall and played Amer
ica," and Star Spangled Banner" and

of the Coming of the Lord" the audi
ence Joined in the singing with the
fervor of religious meeting.
Men from Tennessee and from Mas
sachusetts, and from California and
from Maine stood with tears in their
eyes as they sang.
Within twenty-four hours a call IL
to be made for an Illinois convention
of Roosevelt supporters, at which a
state organization will be formed.
Medill Mccormick of Chicago said
calls in other states would be issued
in rapid succession and that within
a few weeks the Progressive party
would be organized in every section
of the country.
The method of operation in the vari-
GUS states is still to be decided upon.
In some cases the Republican candi-
dates for state and national offices,
with the exception of President and
Vice-President, will be Endorsed, with
the idea of preserving the state Repub-
lican organizations which are in SYM
pathy with the Roosevelt movement.

and even the Taft cohorts could not
keep their seats. Then the enthusiasts
began to pull up their state standards
and march with them, while the gal
leries leaped to their feet, waving hats
and handkerchiefs and papers and
bowling at the top of their voices.
California's golden Teddy Bear led the
way, and New Jersey, Missouri and
North Carolina followed close behind
west Virginia, Ohio and Oklahoma fell
into line, and there was a mighty roar
as bill" Finn grabbed Pennsylva-

past the front of the speakers stand.
Minnesota and Maine now joined the
shouting procession, and people all
over the hall began to say that if
nominations were in order, it would
be no trick at all to put the governor
of Missouri at the head of the ticket.
Cheers for Bryan.
One of the biggest demonstrations
of the convention before the body was
called to order was that given to Will
lam J. Bryan. AS soon as he was rec
ognized there was a rush of delegates
and spectators toward him. bill

The revolt of many of the Roosevelt
delegates in the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll
containing the names of contested
delegates was approved. A 'valedic-
tory" statement was read in behalf
of Colonel Roosevelt asking that his
name be not presented and that his
delegates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
The first test vote after the an
nouncement of the Roosevelt valedic-
tory came on the adoption of the par
ty platform.
The affirmative vote was 666. Roose-
welt delegates present and not voting
numbered 343. There were SO noes,
SO of them from the La Toilette states
of Wisconsin and North Dakota. SEN
ator Robert M. La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin was placed before the convention,
but Colonel Roosevelt's wishes were
carried out by his followers and they
remained silent during the call of the
states for nominations.
Many of the delegates, however,
carried out their primary instructions
and voted for the Colonel.
