Vice-Chairman Kremer then began
his address. Cheers and yells broke in
frequently as the speaker praised
Democratic performances of the last
eight years and belabored the Repub-

and went in for some prolonged
cheering.
The band. broke out again amid the
cheering which followed the conclu-
sion of Kremer's speech, but quiet
soon was restored and the formal
reading of the call of convention fol-
lowed.
Kremer denounced the Republican

When Chairman Cummings in his

ments in winning the war referred to
the leadership of President Wilson
the audience went into another DEM
onstration, despite his efforts to stop
it. Repeatedly Mr.. Cummings sig
nailed to his audience not to interrupt
with applause and cheers, but the del
egates persisted.
When he referred to the accom-.

Woodrow Wilson, the convention
went off into another tumult Of

by the band.

After five minutes Vice-Chairma,l
Kremer made an attempt to bring the
convention to order, but the delegates
would have none of it, The applause
and cheers kept on coming in rolling
waves and the repeated rapping of the
gavel was only answered with cries
of "Sit down. and "Hurrah for Will
SON."
Standards were pulled up from the
places marking the delegations on the
floor and the demonstrants began or
ganizing procession about the
aisles. MIR. Kremer gave up the idea
of getting the convention in order and
let the noise go on.
After a few more minutes, assisted
by the band, Kremer made another
attempt to quiet the tumult and get
the convention going. He was only
answered by more rolling choruses
of shouts of "Hurrah for Wilson,"
While the demonstration was going
on, the galleries sat in an interested
way, but took little part in it. The
whooping, roaring delegates parading
on the floor, however, drowned out
the band at times. While the DEM
onstration was at its height, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of
the navy, picked up the standard of
the New York delegation and got in
to the parade. Other members of
the delegation objected and there was
scramble in which policeman took
the part of the delegates who tried to
stop Roosevelt. There was . lively
scramble for q moment in which
Roosevelt won out and started off
with the standard.
Fists flew thick and fast for the
moment and it looked as If somebody
was going to be injured. As j turned
out, no damage was done.
More attempts at order and more
ear-smashing whacking of the eavel
brought only more cheers. The dele
gates evidently wanted Ito demon
strate for Wilson and did not intend
to be stopped until they had finished.
At I2:4S o'clock the demonstration
began dying away and the vice-chair-
man gave the order to the sergeant
alarms to clear the aisles.
Mr.. Kremer finally succeeded in |
making himself heard and Monsignor
Ryan, vicar general of San Francisco,
offered prayer.
The other events on the program
were:
Reading OF the call for the conven-
ton by Secretary E. G. Hoffman.

Film must be fought

Film is the teeth's great enemy. 1t
clings to teeth, gets between the teeth
and stays. The tooth brush cannot ef-
fciently combat it without help.
Countless teeth discolor and decay
despite the daily brushing. Tooth
troubles have been constantly increas-
ing. And that film which you leave
causes most of them.
Film absorbs stains, so the teeth look
dingy. It is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which fernents and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in con-
tact with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea.
