to noon today the Republican na1
tional convention had heard Gen@
eral Wood and Governor Lowdsn
placed in nomination and was pro-
ceeding to the nominating speeches
for Senator Johnson. j
An uproarious 40-minute demon1

Uproar for L0wden.
The Lowden supporters appar1
emily were as well organized fori
demonstration as the Wood forces3
and they carried on an uproar onl
the floor and up in the galleries.
Miss Dorothy Disney, daughter oq
q Muskogee, Okla, delegate, wasl
about the hall on the shoul7
ders Of two Of the Oklahoma dele-l
gates.
The Lowden procession seemed
to be making some accessions o6
from the various state
spaces as 1t moved about the hall.
The Connecticut delegation fell int
with it.
The Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma
Arkansas and ken-i
lucky delegations showed upI
the Lowden pictures in theI
parade. Again the lights went ont
for the movie men and 1t aroused
another wave Of noise.
Smash Hats, Topple Chairs.
Some of the delegates chair werol
overturned as the parade becamsi
more ri0tous and there was much
Of straw hats as the en-
thusiasts pushed their way through
the crowded convention floor.
Fifteen minutes after the dem 4
began it apparently waat
gaining headway and Senatorl
Lodge was making no effort tol
stop 1t.
In the galleries there was q lotj
Of noise. but at first not the coord-l
mated cheering which had marked
the Wood demonstration.
Presently, however, some Low
den cheer leaders got busy and loos-
ened repeated roars from the gals
leries. Following the exAmplG e1
the women in the parade. Elbart B.
Smith, q gray-whiskered delegate
from Springfield, Ill, mounted to
the shoulders of two delegates and
was carried about the tortuous
course Of the procession. Round.
round and round through the dele-
gates section went the paraders,
walking on each others and every-
b0dy's corns and keeping up their
cheering without . lull.
