West Virginia, Ohio and Oklahoma fell

Pretty Woman Increases Furors.
For long time Governor Hadley
stood smiling and helpless, with Jim
Watson of Indiana by his side. Then
they sat down, hopeless of stilling the
tumult. Just as the shouters began
to get bit weary, pretty young
woman was spied In the front row Of
the west gallery wildly waving a big
portrait of Colonel Roosevelt and yell
ing at the top of her musical voice.
She Mrs. William A. Davis of Chicago,
and her efforts were rewarded by re-
newal of the uproar, which now
changed to shouts of I'VE want
Teddy" Certain Of the coloners pub
licity promoters, quick to seize upon
the incident. made their way into the
gallery and led Mrs. Davis downstairs
and to the speakers stand. She was
boosted onto the platform, and, with

the standards grouped in front Of her,
led the Roosevelt forces in redoubled
demonstration.
Finally the patience of Chairman
Root and Sergeant at Arms Stone was
exhausted, and the police were told to
escort Mrs. Davis away with orders to
resume her seat or leave the hall. She
chose the former alternative.
Colonel Roosevelt Pleased.
During all this uproar there were
constant rumors that the demonstra-
ton had been pre-arranged by the
Roosevelt men, and that the colonel
himself was on his way to the Coli
scum. The latter part of this certain
ly was not true, for Colonel Roosevelt
sat In his hotel room receiving bullet
ms on the proceedings. When he
heard that there was something in the
nature Of stampede for Hadley,, he
said: 81 am glad of it."
Senator Depew looked on with great
interest, and said he believed the dem
onstration was entirely spontaneous,
and that 1t looked as though Hadley
would be third candidate.
The uproar lasted in all nearly an
hour, and was decidedly diverting, but
did not accomplish anything. For when
it came to roll call, the Taft forces
tabled Deneen's motion with vote of
564 to $40, thus showing an increased
strength over the vote on temporary
chairman Of six votes. The entire del
egation from Hawaii had shifted back
to the Taft side.
More Threats of Election.
Fighting Bill' Finn again ran foul
of Chairman Root and again the SEN
ator threatened to have him elected
from the hall If he did not show prop
er respect for the speakers. Finn sub
sided with evident reluctance.
While Thomas H. Devine of Colo
RADIO was arguing against the Deneen
motion, W. H. Featherstone of the
Texas delegation kept yelling at him.
This aroused the ire of Senator Root
He walked to the front Of the stage
again.
Gentlemen of the convention" said
he, II don't know whether you want
to hear what is said on this serious
subject, but want to say to you
(pointing to Featherstone) that, dele
gate or no delegate, If you don't pre-
serve order the sergeant at arms will
be directed to put you out"
Root was loudly applauded. Feather
stone insisted he was merely trying to
correct misstatements.
The second day did not get the con-
vention much farther on its way to
nominations and adjournment The
fighting was continued, but the results
were not such as to really inspire eth
er the Taft or the Roosevelt forces
with renewed hope of ultimate victory.
Women Delegates Cheered.
CALIFORNIA; two woman delegates
Mrs. Florence c. Porter of Los An
geles and Mrs. Isabella w. Blaney of
Saratoga-cast the first national con-
yention 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 chered by the dele
gates and the audience.
Mrs. Porter was the first to vote.
She spoke out loudly, and her voice
could be heard distinctly on the ros-
trum. Mrs. Blaney's answer was not
so distinct, when her name was called,
but the clerks managed to catch Nc
Governs name.
The cheering for the two women was
not confined to any one section Of the

Roosevelt Men Quit the Fight.
The story Of the last day of the
convention is one Of much disorder,
quarrels on the floor, sporadic bursts
Of enthusiasm, and, during part of the
long session, swift work by the we'll
oiled Taft machine. Making their
last futile fight on the seating of the
contested Taft delegates from Wash
ington and Texas, the Roosevelt dele
gates voted against the platform sub
mitted by the committee on resolu-
tons and then devoted themselves to
rather riotous behavior, laughter at
the Taft speakers and even at Chair
man Root, and vigorous refusal to
vote.
The colonel's advice to his forces
was read to the convention by Henry
]. Allen Of Kansas and included a
bitter denunciation Of the actions of
the majority. 1t was hooted by the
Taftites, but as the table shows, 1t
was effective in most instances.
Among the states that disregarded
Roosevelt's request, Illinois stood out
most prominently. That So of it's
delegates voted for the colonel was
due to state political conditions.
Pennsylvania created a diversion by
casting two votes for Justice Hughes.
In the mix-up Senator Cummins
grabbed off seven unexpected votes
from Idaho. And La Toilette also
benefited by the conditions, getting
five Of South Dakota's votes, in addi-
ton to his 26 from Wisconsin and 10
from North Dakota.
Enthusiasm Is Rather Mild.
II the truth must be told, the vic
tory of President Taft did not create
any wild enthusiasm In the Coliseum
OF course, there was a lot Of cheer
ing. and a banner bearing the picture
of the winner was carried through
the aisles, but no one followed 1t, and
the tired spectators at once began to
make their way out of the hall. Even
the delegates could not be kept in
their seats for the vote on Sunny
Jim" The reading clerks jumped
about like crazy men trying to catch
the vote in the midst Of the din, and
nobody cared very much whether or
DOT they succeeded.
This purges the party of most
disturbing element" said the Taft
men, soberly.
This Is the death Of the good old
Republican party. Now for new
party-a party of progress" said the
defeated friends of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt.
Such Democrats as were present
said little. but looked joyful.
TAFT Forces Win Every Point.
From the day when the national
eommittse met to begin the hearing
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-06-28

had stepped forward to speak In sup
port OF Governor Deneen's motion
which was designed to prevent the 7S
contested delegates voting on their
own cases, but before he could utter q
word pandemonium broke loose. In
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 CALLER
les leaped to their feet, waving hats

something OF surprise, therefore, to
find that the London air In the city
area deposits only about ten grains of
dust and SCOT per square yard per day.
Two ordinary Ave-grain gelatin cap
sules would thus contain the entire de-
posit Of full twenty-four hours over
a surface Of nine square feet.
These figures were obtained recent
ly by the London Lancet. Four So
called gauges were set up In different
parts Of London. Each gauge present

the "city" area, Of course. gave the
largest record. The Lancet calculated
that at the deposit rate in this region
there would fall every year upon the
entire lit square niles Of surface In
London about 76.050 tons of aerial
dirt. The gauges near Westminster
showed q rate of deposit that would
amount to $3.50 tons per year, and
that near the edge Of the metropoli-
tan area very much less.
There were but four gauges, so no

sorimmage was held Thurs
day, but hard signal practice was
gone through and the team is now
putting on the finishing touches for
the battle Saturday.
Hutton will be in the game at
end, though for while it looked as
if he was not likely to be in good
shape. He has, however, come
around all right and will greatly
strengthen Techs defense. Hutton
is good man at end and knows
the game. This is his third year
} under Coach Heisman.
Moore is all right again and will
be seen at his place on right end
All of the injured men will be able
to start in this game and every
man is more than determined to
bring another English cup to Techs
trophy hall. 1t is privately and re-
luctantly admitted, however, that
this seems to be the wrong year TO
turn the trick.

were cheerful, for they had out
played Auburn from start to fin
ish and had met defeat only be-
cause Of one small incident-a 90
yard run by one Mr. Newell
year ago the team was in good
physical shape This year the men
are not actually injured, but abso-
lutely every man has some vulner-
able spot. The whole bunch is
playing on pure grit and nerve.
Loeb has a broken hand and
sprained ankle. Hutton has a brok-
en- nose; Fielder both ankles
sprained; Luehrman. shoulder
smashed. while Mcdonald, one OF
the mainstays of the team, had to
be taken out Of last Saturdays

hurt. These are but a few GRAM

the kind of stun the men are made
out Of, who will tackle the Sewanee

Loeb will be played at center to-
morrow, while Montague and Means

At no time were the Georgians in
danger, and the only guess among the
1000 present was "how great will be
the defeat?' The Georgia team was
much heavier than the Tigers.
Bob McWhorter was the individual
star OF the game He ran repeatedly
around Clemsons ends for gains any
where from 25 to sc yards. He carried
the ball over the goal line twice for
touchdowns.
Second to McWnorter on the often
sive work was Charlie Thompson, the
Atlanta boy. This lad played great ball
and his line plunging counted one
touchdown. Bowden got the other.
Thompson kicked three Of the four tries

Clemson's one touchdown was the re-
suit Of some beautifully executed for
