CONTINUED FROM FAGE ONE) at William Jennings Bryan's cele- brated dictum about a million men springing to arms overnight, he look ed down at where MT. Bryan was sitting in the press box. But the Ne 'braskan had his nose to his manu- script, trying to write on industrious ly while plump woman writer was showing through the narrow isle be- hind his chair If he heard the ref erence he did not let on.
 There was much moving around among the delegates, however, and a mild rumble of conversation kept up. There were many Wood boosters in the gallery and they kept breaking in with applause, as Governor Allen recounted the achievements of his candidate.
 Allen Drenched
 Governor Allen worked hard al his speech and the precipitation rolled down in cataracts over his quickly wilted laundry While the speech was going on, arrangements were made for Governor Lowden's nominating speech to follow General Woods. Ar kansas delegates, next on the roll said the state would yield to Illinois.
 California, next in line, was to name Senator Johnson, disposing of the "big three"
 AS the unbossed convention rolled on with everything according to schedule, Senator Lodge and Senator Shoot of the old Republican school sat inscrutable side by side behind the chairman's table
 At the concluding wore of the nominating speech, thousands of many colored turkey feathers which have been the convention badge of the Wood people were loosed from the ceiling of the coliseum and floated down over the cheering delgates
 The lights were turned on to give the photographers chance while many of those on the floor mounted chairs and waved Wood banners

 Lodge Gets Exercise
 During the demonstration Franf Hitchcock, supreme chief of the Wood forces was on the platform confer ring with Frank Knox, his floor lead ter. When the noise makers had been at it for half an hour they still were going strong, and the chairman was making no further attempt to put on the lid.
 A few minutes later, however Sen ator Lodge renewed his pounding with the gavel. but all the good it did him was the gymnastic benefit of the exercise.
 Quit in 10 Minutes
 The demonstration which followed General Woods nomination lasted 40 minutes. When it quieted down Frank Knox of New Hampshire, the Wood floor manager, and Mrs. Doug las Robinson of New York made speeches seconding General Woods nomination
 After 35 minutes the first flushing was attempted by the delegates ana galleries themselves. The demonstra- tion quieted down somewhat as the noise like escaping steam pervades the hall, but there were also many renewed cheers.
 The delegates cheered when Sen ator Lodge at the end of 40 minutes, said the delegates were all in their seats and that the galleries would be cleared unless they quieted down. The announcement got the desired
