Leonard Wood for president mot be-
cause he was my brothers friend,
but because he is his type of man."
Il can speak to you as one OF the
mothers of New York state" said
Mrs. Robinson, who know it was be-
cause of the foresight and courage of
Leonard Wood that their sons went
overseas fit fighting machines and
not as cannon fodder
The crowd cheered when she said:
I'VE want not the man who takes
the psychological moment. We want
The man who makes them"
With emphatic gestures, Mrs. Rob-
inson said: I'VE must have the kind
Of man for president who will look
from America out and not from Eu-
rope in"
mo man can tell me-" said Mrs.
Robinson, that had Theodore Roose-
Welt or Leonard Wood been in the
White House, the Germans would
have marched through Belgium to
nothing more than the ringing words
of protest. We never want again
u man who waits between right and
neutrality"
She was loudly cheered at the end
of her speech.
Gowden Nominated
Senator Lodge soon got hearing,
however, and the roll of the states
was continued. Arkansas yielded to
Illinois, and Representative William
A. Rodenberg, of that state, was pre-
sented to nominate Governor LoWden.
A big man with a big voice, Repre-
sentative Rodenberg spoke without
manuscript. beginning deliberately
and then warming up the LoWden
supporters TO repeated cheering.
Representative Rodenberg got his
greatest applause when he came TO
his encomium of Governor Lowden
as a business man and an admins
traitor of ability in economic and
financial lines
AS soon as the speech was over
the Lowden demonstration began,
his delegates among his supporters,
carrying large pictures of the candl-
date tackled to wooden standards. A
procession got under way almost
Immediately headed by Iowa dele
gates bearing aloft a six-foot litho-
graph of the governor.
A long banner urging "a business
man for president" was carried IN
the Lowden procession:
The Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Con-
necticut, Arkansas and Kentucky
delegations showed UP among the
Lowden pictures in the parade.
Again the lights went on for the
movie men and it aroused another
wave of noise.
Some of the delegates chairs were
overturned as the parade became
more riotous, and there was much
smashing of straw hats as the en-
thusiasts pushed their way through
the crowded convention floor:
Fifteen minutes after the de-
mons ration began it apparently was
gaining Roadway and Senator Lodge
was making no effort to stop it.
Round and round through the dele
gates section went the paraders,
Viking on each others and every

lean flags draping from the rail.
Lowden Is Seconded
At a half hour the parading had
about broken UP but the noise was
still vociferous. The Lowden dele
gates declined to resume their seats,
even though they were not moving
about the hall.
Some one turned on the lights once
more and presently the procession
began to reorganiZe, this time get

where many were standing.
When it had gone forty minutes,
just as long as the Wood demonstra
ton, the first attempt was made to
stop the noise. Senator Lodge had
given the chair to former Senator
BeVeridge, of Indiana, and the latter

But the Lowden forces thought they
