There were few cheers during the
delivery OF Gov. Allan's speech, and
there was ntie oommotlon until two
minutes after It was ended. But then
the Wood cohorts broke loose and
started a demonstration that re-

pretty well staged The boosters did
nothing in the early stages. and the
crowd was willing to quit after five
minutes. Then the Clique sot busy.
The standard Of Kansas was yanked
up and started around by the dele
gates.

experts. at the American pastlme Of
throwing the bull.
