further word from the committee

the convention to order. In the lull the
New Jersey delegates rose in their
seats and delivered the Jersey yell thar

from Massachusetts blossomed out
with a new Roosevelt yell, announcing
their IS votes for Roosevelt They
brought New Jersey, West Virginia
and California back to their feet and

the crowd settled back to await the fall
