Fairbanks Gets
First Ovation.

Former Vice President Fairbanks was
given the first ovation as he entered
the hall.
1t was 1925 O'Clock before the first
feeble cheer for any candidate was
given The demonstration was so fee
bic that those outside the section of the
gallery where the cheering started
could not tell what candidate was
eheered
BY ll30 o'clock the confusion had
grown into the hum of a great gather
ing. NThe spectators flowed into the
gallery in streams. while most of the
delegates had already reached the floor.
When Mr.. Fairbanks appeared there
was a scattering Of handclapping and
cheers as he made his way from the
main entrance to his place in the In
diana delegation and took his seat,
smiling his acknowledgement of the
greeting.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. daughter
Of Colonel Roosevelt, with her husband,
was one of those who arrived early.
She was dressed in her favorite blue.

T. r. Issues Ultimatum
On Two Conventions.

They returned in twenty minutes
with word that Roosevelt Endorsed the
plan. and also brought an ultimatum
regarding two conventions.
This ultimatum was:
1.-TWO conventions if the 70 delegates
lawfully elected and instructed for ma
are excluded in the preIminares of the
convention and if the 78 delegates occu-
plying seats stolen from mo by the Re-
publican national committee are al
lowed to vote on temporary chairman"
The proposition was carried hot-foot
to the Taft camp. Unofficially the Taft
leaders declared they would not accept
it.
They proposed that the battle should
go to a finish at today's session of the
convention-that Roosevelt must either
win by PROSECUTING Taft votes, submit
to the steam roller or bolt
The Taft leaders called attention to
the fact that the plan to tie up the
temporary organization of the conven-
ton until $40 delegates Endorsed by
Roosevelt voted to begin work merely
gave the colonel more time to proselyte,
until he could get the necessary $40.

Issue Up to Taft.

The issue was later put squarely up
to President Taft, and his answer was
anxiously awaited as the convention
drew near From Washington came
the word given out by the acting sec

house The Illinois delegation adopted
this resolution:
THAT no action shall be taken in any
matter pertaining to the temporary or

This offer expressed in plain words
means a reopening of the contests.

1894-was made so because there was
no national convention. Watson spoke
at length of the convention of 1880 His

undertone "Everybody's Doin It."

Seats were left vacant for them.

When the California display had
been reduced uptil only golden gri2-
