This was all he would say to- bight Mr. Roosevelt directed his own bat tie In the convention hall over a tele phone wire. Hidden away In a room in his hotel, he spent most of the time listening to reports of his lieutenants and Issuing orders in person. He was seen only once or twice during the day .as he hurried through the corrid ors. When the convention bad adjourn ed the Roosevelt leaders began a ser ies of conferences with their chief, which extended late Into the night Colonel Roosevelt's associates predict ed confidently that the fight would be won .although they guarded careful ly the plans for tomorrow which were framed at tonight's conferences. At 9 o'clock tonight the corridors and lobby of the hotel where are the Roosevelt headquarters were filled with a solid, struggling mass of men and women. Police reserves were rushed to the place, but they could do little to move the crowd. In the hall of the Roosevelt com mittee the crowd was kept in lively spirits with a band concert. Impromp tu orators who prophesied victory without a doubt and a quartet which sang amid great cheers a song enti tled "Setam Roller Bill."

Final plans are rapidly being completed and before the end of the week Marylands metropolis will De ready to care for the Democratic hosts. Strong rivals with the candidates in discussion and conferences are the questions whether the unit rule, and the requirement of two thirds of the delegates to make a nomination should be required. There is a sentiment among leaders who have arrived here in' favor of changing the two thirds rule to a majority. All are agreed. however,, that no change will be made to apply to the present conven tion. The most that will be doue, if any action taken, will be a submission of the question to the Democrats in the states, their verdict to be report ed to me convention of 1916.

TOMATO 8ECRET8 In choosing tomato plans for grow ing prize tomatoes, do not select tree tomatoes, as they are not proline, but pick out some good, smooth, meaty variety. Set the plant on the south side of tbe stake, about four inches from it and train same to stake as it grows, tleing it with binder twine or cloth strings, which are preferable. Many times when the plants are very rank two branches will start to grow from the top. but clip one off, allow ing only one to grow to a height of B feet, then clip the tops, and keep them clipped, which will hasten the ripening,-and convert all the strength of tbe vine into fruit When tbe plants are 8 or 10 Inches high, little runners or shoots will ap pear In the forks. Here, writes C. P. Bowlesly, In Farm and Home, is where the whole secret lies. These runners sap tbe main vine, and turn all tbe strength Into Tines Instead of tomatoes. When they appear, pinch them off and allow only the main Tine to grow. Tbe fruit buds or blossoms will also appear in the same fork but do not disturb tbem. Keep clip ping out tbe runners every time yon find any or every time you cultivate them. Tbe fruit will be nice, early, clean, bandy to pick, a great improve ment over the old way. Feeding Qreat Britain. A fleet of 250 refrigerator ships Is en gaged In carrying fresh meat to tbe British Islands. by substituting the following list of delegates, and that the list kuowu as No. I, be known aa the list of tempo rary delegates for this convention." Watson renewed his point of order (hat lltdley's motion was out of order until a proper organisation of the con ventlon had been effected, Itoaewntcr declared that the motion appeared to the chair to be woll tak en, but said that he was willing that each aide should have 30 minutes In which to debate the question. Coventor Hadley started the debate for the ltooaevelt forces. "I have presented for the considera tion of the chairman of the conven tion and this convention a motion to amend tho temporary roll which has : been placed before the convention. The rhnlr has stated that In his opln Ion, the point Is well tuken, but, In the same spirit of that Illustrious leader, William McKlnley, has adopt- ' ed tho fair plan of permitting debate." ' "Our chairman has asked that a brief statement be made by those sup porting and opposing It 1 offer this to your determination in the Inst an alysis. I question If the national com mittee has the absolute power to con- trol the list of delegates. j "If It Is In the power of 27 men to sny what shall be considered a ma- ! jorlty of a convention .then we have : reused to have representative govern- I inent In our party." This declaration wus loudly cheer 1 ed. ""We know but one government In this country, and that Is government by political parties," he added "and If control of the parties ran be main tained by those who make up the tem porary roll then ,we have a political oligarchy. "It Is the question now whether the delegates shall or shall not pass up on their own qualifications when their right to sit Is protested. In 18S4, a similar situation arose. The conven tion then decided that the committee was the servant and not the master of the republican party or of the con ventlon. This question must. In Its final analysis be decided either that the committee hss a power not sub ject to change later, or that the con vention may later change It"' Hadley continued citing his conten tion, reading from a parliamentary point raised by Kosroe t'onkling in 1SC4. which be claimed was bis con tention. "So I offer lo you today the prece dent of IStil that nominated for the second time Abraham .IJncoln." said llndley. "I offer the statement of Senator Hoar that the motion to amend the temporary roll Is In order. "Hut this question Is more a Ques tion of principle than of precedent It Is said that no fraudulent names are on this roll. As long sa we don't act and fairly fare this question, any man who goes out from this conven tion with a nomination, goes out with a tainted nomination and ran neither expect nor receive the votes of the American people. . "You cannot settle a question of fundamental honesty by disregarding it You cannot settle questions afreet Ing the people by raising points of or dcr, but I say that Just as certain as you decline to answer my question the people will decide that you don't want to settle this question on the facts atone. You must either purgo your rolls or admit that you want to confer a fraudulent nomination." Former Governor Fort of New Jer sey follewed Governor Hadley for the Kooaevelt forces. "There has never come before a na tional convention in this wonderful party of ours so Vital a question," he said. "In 1880 the question arose ss to whether It was In tbe power of a convention to determine questions of roll before a vote could be taken. Sen ator Hoar of Massachusetts said that In the absence of any rule, the deci sion of any question rested with tbe chair but subject to the rule of the convention. "The convention, not the chair, must determine whether tbe roll pre sented In such as this convention can accept." Fort then referred to numerous committee decisions which, he said, gave the. delegates the right to say who should be seated,' and asked: "Shall we have In this convention such a scene ns has been going on before the national committee?" Here the speaker was drowned out with a chorus of "Noes" from the Roosevelt men and a similar shout of "Yeas" from the Taft men. Fort's time being up, former Con gressman Watson then yielded 10 minutes of his time to Congressman Sereno Payne of New York. The auth or the tariff bill was both cheered and Jeered, the Pennsylvania delegation demanding "Where's Aldrleh?" "This is a proposition of order or chaos," he said. "How about the tar iff bill?" someone demanded. Payne was Jeered and Interrupted through out. But he stuck to bis ground. '"I nominate the Honorable Ellhu Root as your temporary chairman.' " said Watson. A wild yell went up from the Taft men at the mention of Root's name and Hadley and Fort called "Time" on Watson, but Chairman Kosewater shook Ms head. If you proceed as the ODDosltion asks you to," said Watson, "then yon must settle every contest before the convention actually meets. If the Hadley motion Is carried there will be no need for a committee on creden- tiols." Here Watson moved to lav the an- peal of Governor Hadley on the table. mere lias been no anneal." said Hartley, and Rosewater nodded .assent to the Missouri governor's statement inen Kosewater raoued for nrw shouting: "The convention will be In oraer.

Hedges came right back at them: You needn't hesitate to cbeer Roose velt In my presence. I cheered him for seven yeers. And I am only tak ing a day off today that's all." As Hedges concluded. Governor Had ley went to tbe front and his fighting attitude was greeted with rousing demonstration from the Roosevelt W ' e"-r, I Mayor William J. Gaynor, of New York Olty, who It mention d aa a "Dark Horse" for the Domoorallo nomination for President. I also wish to rite you some em! neut authority," began Hadley. "Four and eight years ago (he man lo whom the New York delegate hat Jusl re ferred declared that (he man In whoso behalf I am working today was the greatest living American. Mr, Root pralaed his statesmanship and his ability. Now, believing that questions that are to be settled here are of vit al Intercut to your people I appear be fore you In behalf of Theodore Roose velt to second the nomination of Gov ernor McOovern." Former Henntor Vllnn got the plat form, to the acromiwnlment of rous ing cheers, but be stood aside whllo Governor Hiram W. Johnson, of Cali fornia, was received. The fighting governor of California got a greeting as he began: "From the atate of California 1 sec ond tbe nomination of Governor Me- Govern," Johnson said. "I want to say to you that on the roll call Cali fornia will cast L'8 voles for McGov- ern and here and now I serve notice that on any question tlmt concerns that state wt will cast 26 votes from our state." Wild howls of "No, No." and Jeers and hisses came from the Taft dele gates, but Johnson continued: "The New York gentleman who pre ceded me declared that he took no chance with his candidate In the chair. If you want a square deal and want the Republicans of the nation to get a square deal, vote for Govern or McGovern for chairman. I deny the right, and the Republicans of the nation deny the right of any set or men, repudiated by their party, to se lect a chairman for us, and we will not tolerate It. To every man In this convention who believes In the square ual we appeal In behalf of Governor McGovern." Fran .Is J. Heney. of California waa the center of a warm demonstration as he took the platform. 'This nntloti Is confronted by one of the most momentous periods In Its history," he began. "The question Is not which Individual shall preside here. There Is a question umlcrlrlnit that which goes to the foundation of Republican institutions. A national committee prepared a roll for this con vention which it Is proposed shall command the delegates In their choice of a tempornry chairman. This Is tho first step, and It means that men who have no right to sit here will nomin ate a candidate for President If n Republican president la to be elected he must be elected by the vqtesof the Republican states lie wilt not be elected by the vote of the Philippines Porto Rico or Alaska. He will not be elected by the votes of southern states." The gallarles were shouting and yelling and ninny Taft dolgntes were Jeering, but Heney kopt on. "This reminds me of some of the actions of the national committee, led by 'Big Stove" of Colorado." Heney added.
