- Convention Hall, Cleveland
cheering, roaring multitude that
pranced and surged about Convention
hall Wednesday night shouting for
Coolidge, staged a scene the like OF
Y-hich has not been seen in repub-
ilcan convention since 1896.
The La Toilette delegation from
Wisconsin, refusing to join in the de-
u sstration, remained silently seat
while the milling, bowling throng
reeled and surged about them, calling
upon them to join, finally, surrounded
by groups or delegates singing the
national anthem, ''The Star Spang-
led Banner" the La Follett dele
gates were forced to their feet, but
They only stood silently at attention
Ind then sat down again.
Old timers, veterans Of many a
ight and demonstration in the heat
of convention fight, compared the
scene to that in the convention of
1896 when Senator Teller and his fell
lows of the Colorado delegation sat
silently under the jeers and jibs OF
the delegates who urged the vener-
able senator to join with the majority
in upholding the gold standard.
On that memorable occasion, which
went down as one of the gripping
scenes of republican party history
Teller, broken hearted and weeping,
led his delegation from the hall say
ing through his sobs:
II part with you on a matter OF
. heiple."

Cleyeland-The program for Thurs
day in the convention, as arranged
by managers Wednesday night, calls
for nomination of President Coolidge
in the afternoon, a night session for
nomination of his running mate and
the announcement of the new nation
al committee membership with sine
die adjournment some time along to-
ward midnight.
The first hour or two of Thursdays
session will be given over to hearing
the nominating speech by DR.. Marion
Leroy Burton, placing the name of
President Coolidge before the conven-
ton. This will be followed by a
large number of seconding speeches,
which will consume another hour or
SO, thus putting eff the calling of the
roll until late in the afternoon.
Only one ballot will be taken be-
cause Coolidge will receive enough
votes on the first roll call to give
him the nomination. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that the Wisconsin
and North Dakota delegates, pledged,
to Senator La Toilette, will permit
the nomination of Coolidge to be I'M
aninaous. After the convention mas
named Coolidge, it is planned to de-
clare recess to give the delegates
time for dinner ard brief rest per-
lod before taking up the contest for
the vice presidency.
