THRUST at Roosepeh

NEW LONDON. Conn, Sept. o.
From within the grass-grown ramparts
OF old Fort Griswold on Croton
Heights. President Tart yesterday aft
ernoon told the delegates to the At.
lsntic Deeper aWterways convention
that no individual should allo whis
uwn selfish interests or his personal
ambition 70 lead him to climb into
powe over someone else.
I'VE should not forget our true rela.
ton 20 our fellowmen," he said, nor
the obligations We owe to those who,
as individuals, make up the body pol.
itic.
"The president had been telling the
story OF the defense Of Fort Griswold
121 years ago and OF the courage of
those farmers who had defended the
walls against the British under Rene-
dict Arnold. He had spoken Of Arnold,
say ing that no one who had studied
the brilliant parts OF the man and of
his ambitions could help feeling re-
f.retful that love Of self. self.absorp.
ton and ambition for power had led
him into that path which made him
me 'greatest traitor OF ali times.

straus looked puzzled MCGEE, who
not his name in the Indian country
by riding broncho into camp with
suspenders used as reins, moved re-
solutely toward the platform.
They say I'm crazy, but / know
what I am doing" he cried. as he
swung up the platform steps.
Chairman Straus looked with sur
prise on the man who, with flaming
bandana swathed around his neck,
and his coat blazing with badges,
tossed his rough rider hat on the floor
and demanded the right to make a
nomination.
who do you wish to nominate?
asked Chairman Straus. But MCGEE
gave only meaningless shake OF his
head. while the delegates, irritated at
what they deemed only an Interrupt
ton ut a moment when the conven-
ton was about TO lock arms for
vote for Prendergast and Hotchkiss,
cried put him out" But MCGEE
stuck to his purpose. and in a husky
voice insisted on speaking
"You may speak for five minutes.
said Mr.. Straus impatiently, glancing
at his watch.
Il want To-" insisted McGee.
Delegates and spectators booed and
jeered a. he began to speak. There
was q general laugh when he cried:
aTll name man, the mention Of
whose name viii bring tears Of SYM
pathy to the eyes OF almost every
man and woman In the civilized land" !"
But ''Suspender jack only waived
his arm In defiance OF the jeers. He
paused moment and then cried; Il
nominate the illustrious and honor
able Oscar Straus."
The delegates seemed stunned
Then q few or them cheered. Mr..
Straus gave an amused laugh a:
"Suspender Jack" bowling before him.
MCGEE kept on with his speech, and
the first few faint cheers from the
half dozen or more delegates gradu-
ally grew into a pandemonium that
swept the convention hall from end
TO end. Standards were wrenched
from their supports and delegates,
yelling and cheering for Chairman
Straus, paraded the aisles, turning
the convention into a bedlam,
Chairman Straus at first shook his
head depreciatingly at the growing
ovation. He turned to friends and
remarked: This must not be, can
not accept"
Chairman Hotchkiss left his seat
among the delegates and rushed to
the platform. Placing his hands on
Mr. Straus shoulders, he said; "You
must accept, you must accept. All
the delegates are for you"
Scores Of delegates pressed toward
the platform to urge Mr.. Straus to
make the decision. Then Mr.. Hotch-
kiss burst from the group that sur
rounded Mr.. Straus and held up be
fore the crush OF excited delegates a
sheet Of yellow paper on which was
written: He accepts" Quickly the
word was passed back through the
hall and another demonstration fol-
lowed.
Chairman Hotchkiss vas allowed to
act as chairman In place OF Mr..
Straus. The nomination OF Mr..
Hotchl<iss for governor was with
drawn by John A. Kingsbury, and by
Timothy Woodruff the name of Mr..
Prendergast. Then came a food OF
speeches seconding the nomination OF
the FORMER minister to Turkey.
The nomination was finally made
hy acclamation.
