Great Tribute to Wilson
A moment later the delegates got
ON their feet again and cheered when
! Senator Harrison quoted a party
precept from Grover Cleveland. A
delegate from Kansas called for

group of delegates gave them. There
was more applause when the SEN

nation wanted another man with the
courage Of a jackson land the Tight
ing qualities of Woodrow wilson
AT the mention of Mr.. Wilson'S name
half of the delegates leaped from
their chairs yelling their approoa-
| ton, and they were joined a moment
later by the entire membership OF
the convention.
A parade around the hall was
started by the New Jersey delega-
ton, which ripped up its state stand
ard from it's floor fasteninss and
started what turned out to be
| bowling march about the aisles in
which eventually every state stand
ard was drawn by the shouting del
egates.
After a circuit about the hall, the
New jersey standard was held high
in front of the speakers stand by
a group of delegates from the state
from which Mr.. Wilson was chosen
for the presidency. The other stand
ards paraded by while the band
played Dixie" and a string of other
popular songs. Delegates and gal
leries soon were set singing as the
music switched to the tunes to

under Woodrow Wilson as com

a Long. Long Trail" and Keep the
Home Fires Burning" followed one
another and the parade continued

almost drowned out the band.
Singer Takes Charge
Convention officials made no eff
fort to stay the demonstration ana
it was ten minutes before the state
standards began to return to then
places as the band struck up 1.-THE
Battle Hymn of the Rpublic." Again
the delegates joined in the singing
| and Madame Case came out to the
front of the platform and took charge
Of the demonstration. She sang a
stanza of the Battle Hymn and then
asked the convention to join with
her in repeating it.
The delegates stood and the famous
old chorus swelled up to the roof of
the garden in a roar that could be
heard for blocks.
When the song was over, Senator
Harrison pounded for order but the
delegates kept on cheering for a min
ute longer The senator resumed his
speech after he had sortetd out his
notes, swept off the speakers stand
and scattered over the platform floor
81 a sweeping gesture by Madame
Case in the midst of her singing.
But there were ever frequent ref
erences to the Wilson policies scat
tered through the speech and the con
vention was interrupted to applaud
every one of them. There was more
cheering when the temporary chair
man launched upon an attack upon
Republican foreign policy.
Show this administration an oil
well, and they'll show you a foreign
policy" he said and there was a
howl Of laughter and appreciation.
The Democratic party offers no
apologies for the foreign policies of
woodrow Wilson," was another line
OF the speech that got a cheer.
Senator Harrison brought his
speech to a close amid another noisy
demonstration of approval after he
had been speaking for nearly an
hour and a half. He closed with an
appeal in tn ename of Jefferson,
Jackson and Wilson, to keep the
Democratic faith and carry the
standard of the party to victory in
November. Once again the dele
! gates rose to their feet cheering.
Again the band swung into 1.-The
Long, Long Trail" and the conven-
ton remained standing, singing and
shouting as the band leader went
on to over There" and the other
war songs.
While tn emusic kept up Senator
Harrison was the center of a group
Of leaders on the platform who crowd
ed round to shake his hand and con.
graduate him on his party keynote.
The band turned from the war songs
to THE Banks Of the Wabash and
the Indiana delegation led the cheer
ing until the musicians moved on to
Maryland, My Maryland" MY Old
=, Kentucky Home" and Dixie
Mayor Hylan Speaks
Mr.. Harrison cut the band off with
a bang of the gavel and introduced
Mayor Hylan, Of New York, to de-
liver an address of welcome to the
delegates and visitors In a brief
speech the mayor said his city was
doing the best we can to make things
