 The speech fired the hall again and when the Nebraskan asked how much time he had left delegates and gal lerles joined in demanding that he go on.
 "Take an hour. Take all the time you want" the crowd yelled as it whooped it up again for Bryan.
 "No," he said, taking a drink of water, q must turn to our domes- tic questions"
 A storm of protests from the vets interrupted the speaker as he re- fe1re dt othose who wanted to bring back the "dram shop"
 "Be fair," yelled many of the | delegates and Mr. Bryan replied when partial order had not been restored: "lf any member of the New York o1 New Jersey delegation or any other delegation that is wet is real ly glad that the saloon is gone, want him to stand up so that can see him. A woman in the New York delegation was the first to arise in response and in minute large sec tlens of the delegates were on their feet cheering and taunting the speak CT.
 "And I voted for you, too," yelled one of those standing. "Yes and if you're sorry that you voted for me and are going to leave me because l stand for the home against the saloon, then I'll get two in your place." replied MT. Bryan.
 Taunts and Cheers.
 Taunts and protests mingled with an outburst of vofiferous applause as the speech was concluded with an oratorical picture of the benefits that would come to the world thru prohibition, again and again the Ne braskan came to the front of the platform and bowed as the bedlam kept up. A parade soon was or ganized on the convention floor, the Texas standard being the first to get into motion. Washington, Okla homa, South Carolina, Virginia, Me- braska, West Virginia, Kentucky and Arizona and others followed and then more than a score were punched in front of the speaker while the en- thusiasts tore out their vocal cords with cheering. The old i've want Bry- an," which has been heard in every democratic convention since 1896I was about the only distinguishablc yell in the great sea of sound.
 There was real fight over the California standard and in the end, it was torn to pieces.
 A woman, borne on the shoulders of men made off with a part of the the speakers stand, where she wav- ed the remnant triumphantly before all the delegates.

At the height of the excitement, al woman dressed in a Grecian costume of white to symbolize purity got to the top of the speakers stand and set the demonstrators wild again.
 The turmoil had been on for 10l minutes an dstill was going loud and strong when Senator Robinson tried to get order.
 The cries of Bryan, Bryan" would not be quieted, however, and although most of the state standards were back in their places hundreds of delegates remained on their feet and the galleries refused to be in order
 Five minutes of work with the ga vel had restored some semblance of order when the avalanche of sound broke loose again at the appearance in front of the platform of woman delegate bearing the fragment of the Alabama state banner. When 1t had continued 20 minutes in all the demonstration was roaring along al- most totally oblivious to the efforts of the chairman to stem 1t. He hammered long and loudly with his big red wood gavel and tried to make speech beseeching the con- vention to be in order but he was howled down. At last, however, he got hearing and declared he would clear the galleries unless they quiet ed down. That got results and af- ter 23 minutes of demonstration from the dry enthusiasts let the business of the convention go on. Senator Glass, in charge of the defense of the platform as presented from the committee, then presented Bainbridge Colby, President Wilson's secretary of state and the floor manager of the administration forces in the conven-
