 Vent to Feelings

San francisco, June 30.-Lifted ou of itself by hours of oratory, old song! that tugged at the heart strings ant the throbbing appeal of mighty pipe organ, the democratic national con, vention brought nomination day to : tremendous emotional crisis that had nothing to do with candidates ol platfor issues.
 Fractional differences were forgotten political jealousies were swept aside and from the seething tumult on the floor to the singing, cheering thou sands in the packed galleries, the vast assembly gave itself up at intervals without stint to a great brotherly re- union as unexpected as it was over whelming.
 The scene at the close of the eight. hour session was unparalleled in the memory of the oldest convention ob. server There was no feature lacking to draw the thousands from their sober business into a riot of feeling and the convention surrendered uncondi- tionally. Flooded silver light from the electric arcs high in the galleries bathed floor and pAtform in strange appealing glow, the crash and clamol of the military bands, the great inn pressive sweep of the arched roof of the auditorium and always the solemn elation in the voice of the great organ tuned to the melodies of other days, were not to be resisted
 Even before the convention was called to order before noon, the hall was touched with the hint of what was to come. Rooters for Palmer and for Cox, had come armed for great nomi- nations. There was no mistaking that the crowd expected it.
 t High against the wall of the west ern gallery red coated band from Ohio was placed, fronted by solid block of rooters who got into action before the delegates had filled more than half their seats. Across in a porch above the organ loft, the con vention band was at work with stir ring melodies and the organist threw his great instrument into full, roar ing accompaniment of any air the roOters raised
 Cox Men Noisy.
 When the first nominating orators had been heard and the names of Sen ator Owen, former Ambassador Gerard and Senator Hitchcock had been plac- ed on the ballot amid liberal applause, Florida yielded to Pennsylvania and the name of A. Mitchell Palmer was presented to set the convention on it's wild ecstacy of singing and cheering The Palmer men were ready. No noise making devices had been over looked, no device of rooters to stimu- late the clamor left untried.
 Up in front of the platform a long slim, red headed yell leader waved frantic arms from rickety perch on chair while California woman in white drove the demonstration for ward with almost equal vigor. The shouting of the Palmer adherents grew and swelled unti la Georgia dele gate rooted the state standard from it's place and started the march of states to be followed by Pennsylvania and half dozen other delegations.
 The tumult lasted more than half an hour. Around and around the aisles the procession went, the stand ards bobbing awkwardly high over the heads of the marchers. A lusty rooter danced along with slim little woman perched on his shoulder. On the platform score of Palmer wo. men crowded to the speakers stand and with waving flags urged the dele gates on while the band joined heart fly in the songs which were caught ur up al lover the hall and galleries. When Governor Cox was named, il was the turn of the Cox spectator. and they came to the task with will Again more than half an hour wal given over to the uproar and singing to the parading of state standards leG by Ohio and Kentucky. Tells givei with the barking note of footbal rooters came from down the Ohio sec ton in the gallery. The Ohio ban' never paused.
