forced to admonish them to be quiet.

on. He also predicted success for the
democratic nominee and discussed the
division IN the republican party and
declared the motto OF the Taft faction

Noise Lasts Seventeen Minutes.
Chairman Parker made little effort
to quiet the enthusiasts. Mr.. Clayton
stood silent at the speakers desk. The
demonstrations gradually subsidized af-
ter seventeen minutes and Clayton re-
sumed speaking.

uproot the state standards but the po-
licemen by quick work prevented. The
aisles became choked with delegates
and 1t seemed that many spectators had
invaded the delegates sections.

were made to restore quiet. Mr.. Clay

the noise and concluded by declaring
that whoever is the nominee OF the
