pals d~esconocido, por almas francesas, ca

invitation from the convention in the

Candidates Are Named.
Time YVES growing short, and the
leaders now proceeded to the p%resenta-
ton of candidates. Mr.. Hughes was
first on the list, because Arizona yield
ed to New York, and Root followed.
The demonstration for neither was up
to expectations, and Weeks received
no more applause, Illinois and Ohio
and Indiana woke things up a lot for
Sherman, Burton and Fairbanks, re-
spectively. but the audience was wait
ing, because the word had gone around
that Senator Fall of New Mexico vas
to place Roosevelt in nomination, and
everyone was eager to see what would
happen then. Fall made a stirring
speech, and the galleries rose to the
occasion, though most of the delegates
merely looked on ~curiously. 1t really
was the big noise OF the convention to
date.
Back in 1912 when the handsome
Mrs Davis acted as cheermaster for
the Roosevelt demonstration she set a
fashion which every candidate seemed
to think it necessary to follow this
year. Each of them had a lady yell
leader In one of the galleries. Some
OF them were pretty and some Of them
were only energetic. Mr.. Roots
cheermaster just opened her mouth at
frequent intervals-in fact, when she
got the signal from Job Hedges-and
let out q series Of piercing shrieks.
Later she changed her vote on the
second ballot" for then she was found
to be emitting similar screams In be-
half Of Colonel Roosevelt.
