BY every consideration of real JUS
tice,' he declared, I'VE are entitled to
have these men of whom l speak and
who We're elected by the people put
on the roll call at once. But we do
not ask this.
I'VE merely ask that neither set of
contestants be allowed to vote on any
question before the convention until
the 1000 members of the convention
whose seats have not been contested
shall themselves decide which of the
contrasting delegations are entitled to
membership"
81 Have Won" He Says.
Colonel Roosevelt attacked the Taft
members of the national committee.
The crowd caught the spirit and
helped him with shouted comments.
II have made my fight fair and
square in the open," declared Roose-
welt. And I have Won"
This took the fancy of the GROVE
and the colonel had to say 1t again.
"It Is not SO much my fight as 1t is
yours he said.
you bet, and we want you to lead

the hall.
THE national committeeman who
are thsy?" inquired the colonel.
"About fifty people with the ratio Of
honesty ranging about IA to 20 and the
remaining thirty 's~ure-thing' men.
There was a cheer that shook the
building. The colonel directed the at
tention of the crowd to the men who
were leading the Taft fght.
There's Penrose.' he said.
"O-o-o-o-h," groaned the crowd.
Crane said the colonel. A groan
and jeer followed.
Barnes (Groans).
"Guggenheim." (Groans).
Another Hint of Bolt.
'They call themselves regulars
cried the colonel. II warn those men
and their allies and representatives
in the convention hat when they
seek or attempt to seek seventy or
eighty men who have no more right
to sit there than in the Democratic
convention-any action of the con-
vention taken only by the majority
of which those eighty are a part has
no binding effect of any kind or sort"
TheScolonel did not need to make
his meaning palmer. The crowd took
1t to mean a bolt If he is not nomi-
mated on the first ballot and went
wild.
And" went on the colonel when
order was restored, that such &C
ton, if taken. will not impose any
obligation of any kind on any Re
publican within or without that con-
vention."
The big auditorium started filling
at $50 and from that time until s
O'Clock a steady stream of boosters
poured through the doors until more
than $500 had been seated.
Everyone who entered was given a
small American flag. The decora-
lions of the auditorium consisted of
flags only and the effect of the whole
was that of a riot of national col
orS.
Bryan at the Press Table.
Half an hour after the doors were
opened the first outburst of music
was heard. 1t was Henry Smart's
festive march in b on the organ and
was executed without enthusiasm.
At 7:45 o'clock William Jennings
Bryan entered the han and took his
seat at the press table,
well, I'm on the job" he said.
The crowd heard him and cheered
wildly. The first really big demon
stratlon came ten minutes later when
the "Star-Spangled Banner was
sung. Everybody stood VI and
joined in.
Then came the song of the West
Virginians; They Are Calling from
the Mountains"
"Oh. they're calling from the mountains,
They're calling from the plain:
we want Teddy we want Teddy
Hear the grand refrain"
Thus ran the chorus. BY this time
the crowd was waking up, and when
the organ poured out the strains OF
"Dixis' one prolonged wild cheer
went up. While the shouting con-

him, too;
-Four years more for Theodore.
The greatest man the country ever
knew"
