surging crowd was tramping the
aisles to the strains Of Onward
Christian Soldiers Despite the hand
leap of the steps leading to the bal
cony, the demonstration spread there
and soon the spa ::ators in the bal
comics joined in.
Spreads to Balcony. .
Banners were snatched from theil
Ehangings and waved, bearing these in
scriptions: Teddy and Safey First"
IF Teddy was President. Where
Would Villa Be?"; The People Want
Teddy Roosevelt REGULAR Ameri

Know What Roosevelt Can Do; eve
Want Teddy" and other Progressive
Then the banl switched to march
ing Through Georgia" and medley OF
popular airs, and the aisles became sc
blocked that no one moved for sew
eral minutes. While the marchers
stood still in the jam they kept up
the din, and aften it had been coins
on one hour, George w. Perkins left
the stage and decided to go to his
hotel and wait for it to subside. The
Michigan delegation trampe1 in from
the rain outside and their leaders de.
manded an outside demonstration.
Out in the Rain.
'Teddy is not afraid of the rain
they shouted GO out and march. -
And in body they filed from the hall
into the deluge outside chanting
TEDDY, you're bear" Some of the
delegates returned in their soggy gar
ments with banners and flags drip
ping, but their enthusiasm was not
dampened for they joined the march
ing, roaring throngs again.
The leaders, impressed by what
they realized might have been the
difficulty of holding the convention
from proceeding Immediately to nomi-
nations, then discussed means to
quiet the uproar. Let them YELL"
counseled one of the leaders, now
that they shouted it will be easier to
delay action on nomination" By this
time some of the enthusiasts who had
been waving bandans, became disatis-
fed with their efforts so they took off
their coats and waved them about
their heads. The delegates from
Washington state wrapped an Ameri-
can flag about one of their women
members and carried her up and
down the aisles. Other western wo.
men took the cue and for the next
few minutes there was a continuous
flag demonstration.
Meanwhile scouts came in with the
report that the Republican conven.
ton at the Coliseum had adjourned
and had not ben marred by any spe-
cial enthusiasm.
Their arrival was the signal for an
other outbreak, Chairman Robins fin
ally gave up the, gavel and took up a
big stick" The crowd caught the
point and began to quiet down. When
Mr.. Robins declared the American
people were waiting for the PROGRESS
sive convention to name leader, the
delegates cheered 'We will name
him" Il, for one, promise that there
shall be no unnecessary delay" shout
ed another. Mr.. Robins told them
"We shall move just as fast as pos.
sible.' With that the convention ad-
journed until tomorrow afternoon at
2 o'clock.
