l hall and galleries The band kept up an excursion through medley of popular airs and as there was no at tempt to stop the noise and get back 10 work the demonstration for Cox continued. l. was spontaneous so far as it went, and without any profess sional attachments, but as there was no machinery for giving it force, it did not get away with loud noise. Chairman Walsh calmly sat down and had a chat with some associates and allowed the band to go ahead and the Cox people continued their demon- stration. Apparently nobody was in any mood to hurry the convention.
 Woman Cheers Leader
 The ardor in the Cox delegation cen- tered about Eleanor Bailey Johnson of Zanesville who stood on d chair with a whistle between her teeth and hat in her waving arms and whooped up the spirits of her fellow delegates whenever they seemed to lag.
 Finally, the band stopped and Chairman Walsh rapped for order. But the aisles had to be cleared and seme singers were silenced before bus mess was resumed.
 MaloEey Gets the Laugh
 After having used up twenty min utes the call of the roll was resumed and Montana sent to the platform William H. Maloney of Butte. to sec ond the nomination of Governor Smith. Mr.-Maloney took up place
 
 he tried his voice it was oovious that Mal9ney had been roofing for some- body very much for he has no voice. He merely emitted a variety of strange sounds while the convention roared with laugftcr.
 He gave it up and retired smilingly while the convention roared again. Everybody said it was the best speech so far delivered. Chairman Walsh an- nounced to the convention that Ma loney had taken the platform to sec ond Governor Smiths nomination and then introduced s. Y. Stewart of Mon- tana, who made a speech seconding the nomination of William G. McAdoo.
 The mention of their favorites name gave the McAdoo people another op- portunity and they cut loose with a short burst of cheering.
 Gov. Bryan Named
 Harry R. Fleharty of Omaha. was unable to be present and deliver the speech he had prepared nominating Governor Bryan for the presidency. It was delivered for him by Eugene b. O'Sulivan of Omaha.
 The convention did not seem 10 he much interested in one mans speech being read by another and kept up continuous hum Of conversation while MT Q'Sullivan was reading Once Chairman Walsh had to intervene and rebuke the audience for its mat tention.
 Mctloo Is scored.
 The delegation leaders took inc op- portunity to do n little elcCtioneerinr. | Joseph B. Shannon of Kansas City circulated among the Missouri dcle- gates a letter he had received from Chief Justice R, r. Walker of inc ! Missouri supreme court expressing tho | hope that the delegation would not give its vote 10 McAd0o. The chief | justices letter declared McAdoo "ln- | tellectually mediocre and below the | average of 2 lawyer, and possessing an Itching palm which could only nnd relief in the contributions of such clients as Doheny and Morse"
 shannon showed the original of the ! letter to all the members cf iho Nils. | souri delegation which contains somn l McAdoo supporters.
 Religious Feeling shows
 The maneuvering among the dele | gates developed also that there was l considerable tension on the floor over the religious aspects of the ku Khix | ktan issue. The McAdoo people | selected l. F. r. o'Connor of Grand | Forks, N. h., to make A seconding | speech and make the point that the | religious aspects have no proper place | in the deliberations Of the convention. |
 Mr. O'Sulliyan concluded the read- | ing Of the speech after the chairman l had rebullod the delegates twice for | their inattentiou and after he had | skipped several pages Of the prepared | manuscript
 He reviewed the business and poli- | tical activities of Governor Bryan | which he said fitted him for the presi- 1 doncy. At the conclusion of his address and | there was an outburs of cheering. Most of thn cheering folks in the gal- | lerics probably thought they were | cheering William Jennings Bryan.
 Cheers For Iirsan X lot of old-time delegates joined | in standing demonstration to the | name Of Bryan and some Of the dele l gates who are working for other can- | didates joined in too. California, for | instance. which is for McAdoo. took 1 part in the cheering and singing which l was scattered about the floor. Finally after little milling around. | a parade got started with Nebraska at | the head. lt was a parade for Gov 1 ernor Bryan or his brother, William | Jennings Bryan. whichever one might | prefcr-but at all events if vas a parade and demonstration for the | name of Bryan and the old-timers, 1 whatever their affiliations and sym l rathies in the present convention may ! be joined gladly and smiiiHgly in the ] recollections Of the battles Of the past . in the background.
