On top Of this occurred one of the
most dramatic scenes Of the conven-
tion. 1t Wss not only dramstlc in
effect but it WAS magnanimoss in
spirit. Mayor Spser asked the in
dslgence of the convention and in q
few remarks announced that his
name had been mentioned for one OF
the delegates TO the national conven-
tion.
Right nov | want to withdraw
nv name, and ask this convention 10
select Charles +. Tew by scclsma-
tion," he pleaded A great shout
rent the air and it WAS several
minstes before the chairman could
bring the convention TO order. Hats
cad coats were thrown into the air
paadeaonism reigned for sometime
All throsgh the demonstration Mr.
Tew was trying TO gain recognition
When he wss successful, he asked
the convention not 10 do THE. Ht
Wss afraid that it might be mis-
anderstood-that many of the dele.
gstes would think there had been q
deal.
"Nol No, wo know YOU are all
right. Take it, Take il" shouted the
excited delegates who would not hear
to Tew's refusal. Il know you are
good fellows" said Tew addressing
the Denver delegates, "and that you
are good losers. | don't aek any
thing from you, boys. You fought
a fair fight and Tom McCue won
Let me say that the best man won
And a good man lost, came a
voice from the Denver crowd.
"Tou bet" responded delegates
all over the hail. Tew pleaded with
the convention not to do what Mayor
Speer asked, but il was unavailing
Tew was chosen by acclamation with
a roar Of ayes.
This was the most exciting and
dramatic incident connected with the
convention.
The adopting Of resolution en-
dorsing Champ Clark Was foregone
conclusion. The Wilson minority
tired to push through a resolution
