No Attempt TO StOp IL.


No Attempt TO stop IL.
Until the very end no real attemp;
was made to stop the hullabaloo. From
time to time Chairman Robins, who had
set of the giant cracker by saying in
an offhand manner that the Colonel was
the foremost citizen OF the world"
bumped his gavcl mildly.
But with George w. Perkins and Ma
tioual chairman Victor Murdoch tcetcr-
ing on "A table top on the stage OF the
theatre and shaking hands with every
delegate who scrambled up there in the
parade OF the state banners there was
no incentive to get down to business un-
Il! every one Of the 6Sl delegates and
al their friends had shaken the hands
that had shaken Roosevelts.
It's no secret that Mr.. Perkins and
the other managers were delighted with
the character and length OF the hig in
tcrruption. Although, said Mr.. f"rhlns'
let II be spread far and wide that TINS
Was no irameup.
To report the proceedings in their
sequence let's begin AZ II o'clock
this morning. That was the advertised
time for opening tn" convention. hut at
the moment the New Tor.. delegates,
sharing with Pennsylvania aud Illinois
tn. front rows of the orchestra, were en-
gagged in singing
Follow follow. We vii follow RooseNot'
Anywhere, everywhere, We NIIl iotp" ."
At the same time four professional
singers in "A balcony were telling Teddy
that he was a bear. the PennsylNanihns
were chanting "Hi lee. hi 10 and
some Southwcsteruers were ciomphS
l,wn AN aisle, waving two banners
which seemed To please everybody one
read
IF Teddy were President where would
villa be-
The other:
columbus, New Mexico, is for
Teddy"
Texas wants Teddy.
Texas, too. wants Teddy" 50 the
biggest banner of all aNowed.
There was "A lull. one had time t'
look over the Auditorium, lhefe Wef'
many vacant seats in the two uppermos
yall,rles and they stayed vacant, al
though tickets for the whole house hat
been given out.
Unlike four years ago, few dclegate'
we're women That was becaus" many
states now insist that delegates shi'
he voters. The men were even NOR
tense and earnest looking than in l'l2
why shouldn't they be? The Prosres
siyes proudly would have 1t known ina
most of the chaf has been winnowed ou
OF the party in the past four years, mos
of the brethren who joined FOR conve
ni.nce or emolument have gone their owl
ways and only the sterling patriots az
left
A convention of stickers-thats wha
IL calls Itself But here comes the N"'
Jersey crowd. They're shouting IN UNI
