Crowd Grows More Weary.


It was am. when the boys got quiet,
and the society women in the galleries
were sticking to their posts like patriots,
but the crowd was tired OF long speeches.
Get the hook was an unpatriotic
phrase shouted toward the platform as
an orator overstayed his welcome In the
Underwood cause. riot OF laughter
was caused by another speaker who all
but lost his false teeth in an effort to get
rid of long words. and by that time the
business Of making. nominating speeches
and secondfng them may be fairly de-
scribed as pure farce. It was half-past
> o'clock ana the same crowd was in the
hall that had been there at 6 o'clock the
night before. Marshall got a cheer Of
rare proportion In the early hours Of the
day. and 1t was an odd thing to notice
that the same strong-voiced gang that
worked for Wilson filed down from the
galleries and yelled for Marshall.
They would not stand for speeches any
longer. Chairman Ollie James leaned
over and winked massive wink at some
friend In the press section who inquired

fire OF protests against speechma king for
