word pandemonium broke loose. In a moment every Roosevelt delegate was on his feet shouting "Hadley, Hadley," 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 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 mighty roar as Bill" Film grabbed Pennsylva- nia's standard and led his followers 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 demonstration of the convention before the body was called to order was that given to Will jam J. Bryan. As soon as he was rec ognized there was a rush of delegates and spectators toward him. Bill Bryan, Bryan, Bryan" was the call that went up. Shaking hands as he walked, Mr. Bryan hurried to aa ushNr and showed him his seat check. Smiling broadly on those who were following him. he hastened to seat, got out pencil and paper and began his days work as a reporter.

Second Day.

When the convention met on Wednes- day Governor Hadley renewed his mo- tion 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 DeGeen moved to amend so as to provide that no contested delegate should vote on the member ship of the committee on credentials or on it's report.
 MT Watson moved to table the mo- tion of Governor Deneen.
 Motion carried by a vote of 564 to 510. This was defeat for the Rocse- welt forces.

 Many Women in Galleries.
 It 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 seats on the aisle, could not contain herself. She was not recognized by more than a dozen persons when she entered the hall.

 California's two woman delegates- Mrs. Florence c. Porter of Los An geles and Mrs. Isabella ". Blaney of Saratoga-east the first national con venrion votes ever given to members of their sex by any great political party. They went with the progress sives, voting for McGovern, and as each rose to her feet to announce her choice she was cheered by the dele gates and the audience.

 After paying tribute to Abraham Lincoln it points with pride to the party record in the past and guaran- tees to meet the pproblems of the fu- ture as satisfactorily as it solved those of the past. It upholds the in- tegrity of the courts, but urges laws to bar delays, declares the party is opposed to special privileges and mon- opoly and favors a trade commission. The belief in protective tariff is re- affirmed and the doctrine of a tariff for revenue only is condemned. A prompt scientific inquiry in the cause of the present high cost of living Is guaranteed The need of better cur rency system is recognized and an authoritative investigation, of agricul- tural credit societies and corporations in other countries and the passage of state and federal laws for the estab- lishment and capable supervision of organizations having for their pur- po.e the loaning of funds to farmers Is recommended and urged

chairman was unable to quell it. A little later, when the Roosevelt adher- ents were making their first fight by seeking to substitute their own tenn porary roll for that prepared by the national committee, MT. Rosewater piped feebly until some one shouted, Speak up, little boy" Then he sue cumbed to the roar of laughter and let clerk read his rulings.
 It was no easy job keeping the great crowd in order, for while the dele gates themselves were mostly grim and tense, apparently imbued with the idea that they were making history, ? there were numerous skillfully placed claques in the galleries which inter- rupted the speakers at frequent inter- vals.
 i,aG!ey 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 mics 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 a share of "boos' and misses and was stirred to rage by many allusions to the fact that he had voted in favor of Lorimer.
 Police lntermttenty Active.
 Chicago supplied small army of policemen to assist in keeping order and handling the crowd, and they did their duty nobly, by fits and starts. Despite all precautions, the doorkeep- CTS let in hordes of their friends, who blocked up the aisles. At intervals
