the demonstration fOrWarQ VII dHIlest equal vigor. The shouting cf the Pal rner adherents grew and swelleI until Georgia delegate rooted the state stand ard from it's place and started the mar,n of states, to be followed by Pe 1nsyiVaaia and half a dozen other delegates.
 The tumuit lasted more than half an hour Around and around the aisles the procession went, the standards bobb'rg awkwardly high over the heads of the marchers.. A lusty rooter danced along with a slim little woman pereae1 on his shoulder. On the platform i score of Palmer women crowded to the speak CTS stand and with waving flags urged the delegates on, while the ban1 joined heartily in the songs which were caught up all over the hall
 The Cox Demonstration.
 When Governor Cox was named, it was the turn of the Cox supporters and they came to the task with 8 will. A gain more than half an hour was given over to the uproar and singing to the parading of state standards led by Ohio and Kentucky Tells given with the barking note of football rooters came down from the Ohio section in the gal lery. The Ohio band never paused. Again and again it drew new cheers from the southern delegates with the strains of Dixie or sought and found men with Irish descent with The Wear ing of the Green.
 While the riot of movement, color and noise was at it's height. rooters and band trooped down from the gallery to the floor They tramped around the aisles singing Ohio, Ohio, and the convention, with impartial good temper, joined in
 It took much effort by Governor Cox's managers to still the uproar and let the 4iOra ar man Robinson pounded unceasingiy with his gavel when more than half an honr had passed, and finally the rooters fought their way back to the gallery and the delegates back 10 their seats to await the next act of the big show
 Senator Harrison of Mississippi, among those secondins Governor Cox's nomination. struck note that proved the convention had been keyed up. He hit hard at the newspapers of San Fran cisco which published the story of the governors divorce of ten years ago and a burst of cheers answered his thrust Then Chairman Robinson recognized w. Bourke Cochran of New York to nomi- nate Governor Smith. As he came to the platform the delegates greeted him as an old friend.
 As he came to the platform the del again greeted him as an old friend. They  knowing of old his power as an orator.
 Again they were not disappointed. The New Yorker struck a notie from the first that found a quick answer. Cochran expressed unstinted admira- ton for President Wilson, pointing drarntically to the great illuminated DOT trait of the president overlooking the convention. Nearly every word and ges- ture brought cheers and shouts from the floor and Cockran's tribute to Governor Smith set the New York delegation going with American flags and much cheering. It did not seem that any unusual event was at hand. The dem onstration started slowly. Cochran made his way through admirers on the plat form. On the floor, back with his own delegation he was accorded reception that threatened to cripple his right hand with the vigor of hand-shaking. New Jersey folks came over to join in.
 Then the band master, for up in his gallery had an inspiration. Previously he had been playing "Tammany" over and over again in recognition of the New York delegation, but now the strains of The Sidewalks of New York" came down from the loft. The big organ took up the homely old tune of 25 years ago. It was too much for the crowd. Through out the hall gray-haired men and wo- men began to sing, lured by strains that harked back to their days Of youth. A Jerseyite seized his state standard and marched across to the New York section Up came the New York standard and again the march was on.
 Over and over the old tune was played and sung SCtandard after standard joined the march. The thing was con tagious. Other old favoritse came rumb- ling down in quick succession. "Rosey O'Grady," '"The Bowery," After the Ball' and 8 dozen other old times. The tide of humanity tanning the aisles was swaying and stepping in rythm to the music. Everyone was singing Long forgotten words came back to mind Palmer banners, Cox hat bands and tok- ems of other candidates were mingled in the throng without regard to the affiia- tion It seemed as if the whole con vention had gone singing mad. Men and women old and young, they surged along Laughing and singing the old songs until every state standard had joined in the grotesque line that bobed and nodded like a lot of marionettes above the showing, singing and laughing crowd on the floor
 Sheer exhaustion finally brought the wholly spontaneous scene to a close. Gradually the cheering subsided and the convention went back to nominating speeches.
 McAdoo is Nominated
 It did not know itself, however, for the delegates had hardly settled in their seas when Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kan sis City,fi in one of the shortest con- vention speeches on record and with ring ing denunciation for those who said " G. McAdoo would not accept a nomina- tion, placed the former secretary's name before the convention.
 T had intended to make an address presenting the name of a candidate to this convention" said Jenkins. but on account of the insistent and persistent re- quests fro rnhim that his name should net be presented in a speech. I have de- cided not to do so, but I am sure from the spirit manifested in my own delega- tion and in this convention that we shall draft him for the the service of the na- tion.
 we know that if so drafted he will accept the nomination, and any rumors of teleeTaIns supposed to have bee nreeeived by me Or anybody else now or in the
