Everything Working Smoothly.
| What the second session lacked
in the dramatic fire of the opening
| day 1t made up in the smoothly
working control which administ--..
| tion supporters exercised Anti
Wilson contests such as that Of
Senator Reeu. of Missouri, for
place on the floor were swept away
with ruthless but good natured
| haste.
Even the "booes' and hisses
which greeted mention of Senator
Reeds name had tone of humor-
Gus ridicule.
The announcement OF "unanf-
nous vote" delivered nv the chair
man against feeble chorus of
noes here and there never failed
to bring cheers and laughter from
the delegates.
The great auditorium was filled
with even a greater crowd today
than yesterday. There was no va
cant seat in the impressive sweep
of the galleries rising steepIy in
"
the floor. Long before the days
business could proceed the hub-bub
of conversation rumbled and num-
bled a steady undertone to the
music of band and pipe organ.
Boomers for Attorney General Pal
mer or Governor Cox took lively. II
impromptu, part in the entertain
ment features.
Machine SLIPS Cog.
Senator Robinson had a little
difficulty keeping the machine GO
ing at the pace Mr.. Cummings had
set. There was little confusion
on parliamentary procedure at
at times, and once Mr. Cummings
ntervened to straighten out reso-
luton to perfect the conventions
plans to give women full and equal
representation on the national
committee. The committee women
already have been elected by many
delegations.
The delegations were still of a
mind for more pounding of the
republican party and the Chicago
platform when Senator Robinson
delivered his speech as permanent
chairman. He woke them TO up
roarious approval when he shout
ed that he made mo apology for
article ten" of the league cove
nant. To the accompaniment Of
applause he lambasted the senate
under republican leadership for
procrastination in dealing with
the treaty and for its rules that
senator could talk to such an
extent on any subject that mo-
body but God can stop him."
The chairman had gotten the
convention up to a good pitch by
that stage and with perspiration
rolling down his face from the eff
fort to drive his words to the
farthest corners of the big build
ing, he leaned down over the
roped speakers stand.
at is to the shame of the sen.
ate" he shouted, "that 1t took
greater time to defeat the treaty ;
than the army and navy took to
win the war"
Delegates Cheer.
The delegates leaped to their
feet, cheering. 1t was a minute
before he could be heard again,
shouting:
"And they left the treaty right
where It was when the president
brought 1t back from Paris"
Failure of the president to take
with him to the peace conferences
members of the senate had
in some senatorial hearts.
Senator Robinson continued, but
he added that il the president
had done so and the senator's had
shown no more intelligence ct
the conference in drafting the
treaty than they have shown In Il
ts copsideration---then God hleaa
