New York, who years ago gave
Roosevelt his first nomination for

When Mr.. Mack concluded his
address and named Roosevelt,
there was a huge demonstration.
A parade of the States started
around the hall, headed by Min
nesota, and participated in by
nearly all the rest, except those
having favorite son candidates.

hall pealed forth triumphantly as the
marchers slowly made their way through
crowded aisles. At intervals the organ
was silenced to give opportunity to hear
the cheers of the delegates
Huge poster pictures Of Roosevelt
we're carried in the parade and banners.
One of them read New York delegates

Two women delegates rode by the
speakers stand, perched on mems
shoulders. The parade was impressive
because of its size and enthusiasm.

ing the lob" was as good as done,
meaning that their candidate would be
nominated promptly.

The Virginia delegation has among its
members many who have been favorable
