I You'd stand on a corner
or rush to a window any
day . to see a band go by,
but the Victrola makes
the world's greatest bands
parade before you as you
sit in your easy chair. Just
think of it nine of the greatest military bands on earth to play for you
practically any selection you want to hear, and just when you want to
. hear it. ' ' -
And not only do you command the services of the greatest bands with the
Victrola, but the greatest orchestras as well, ready to play for you when
ever you have the desire to hear them. You can have a band or orchestra
concert on your porch, on your lawn, on your launch or yacht, or in your.
library at any time.
C There is a Victrola at whatever price you want to pay, and there is no
reason why you should longer deprive yourself of having in your home
the best band and orchestra music and every other form of music and
entertainment.

Roosevelt floor leader, tar from kicking
Chairman Rosewater In the shins, bad
naught else In mind than to treat him
with scrupulous Missouri politeness,
and that Chairman Rosewater, In turn.
Intended to be courteous, even chlvalrlc
in his dealings with Governor Hadley.
Nor were any guns pulled, or knives
displayed. Two or three hundred po
licemen stood around and yawned their
heads oft, and the amazing collection of
assistant sergeants-at-arms spent most
of their time borrowing cigarettes from
. on another or proudly contemplating
their nifty badges.
. P.s.laee la Early .a Hand.
Incited by the dire predictions of
death and disaster that had been scat
tered abroad, the populace, as re pre
seated by those who had pull enough to
get tickets, came early to the hall and
resolutely turned down their thumbs as
evidence they neither desired nor would
allow quarter. They expected a riot to
start at the moment the flashlight pic
ture was taken, and In a sense they
were gratified, for a riot did start a
riot of conversation and so-called ora
tory. But that was all. There wasn't a
leaf stirring: In the killing line. Not
gun barked not a head was cracked
AH went as decorously as an intercol
legiate debate.
There were precedents instead of
projectiles: elocution Instead of assault.
The harking being particularly good.
the speakers harked back to the day
. of John C. Fremont and dwelled witn
great declamatory effect on the con
vention that nominated Abraham Lin
coln In 1364. They also harked back
and harked forward In other regards
' for an almost Interminable period.
citing other events that had happened
In former Republican National' conven
tions, and the spectators cheered and
Jeered alternately, chagrined, of course,
because there was no gore, but out for
a holiday and tn a spirit of true Ameri
can adaptability to circumstances, ac
cepting language, In lieu of lambasting.
So the crowd had a good time, the
speakers had a good time, and all
passed off pleasantly as could be ex
pected, notwithstanding the alarming
advance notices.
Crew. Awed by Threats.
. There was a terrifying feature, how
ever, that brought. sudden chills to the
hearts of those present on various oc
casions. Numerous of the orators, find-,
Ing themselves at a loss to proceed be
cause of the clamor for action on the
part of the delegates and spectators.
cruelly threatened to stay there all
Summer unless they were allowed to
continue speaking. This frightful
threat had instant effect each time it
was used. Unable to face this dread
alternative, the crowd always lapsed
Into silence and permitted the platitud
Inous partisans to perorate, sped them
to their seats with brief applause and
demanded a vote while the next man
was preening himself for his oratorical
flight.
Presently the announcer himself
showed some mercy. He megaphoned
to the . tired delegates and the tired
spectators that there would be but
three or four more short speeches and
that the vote on the selection of a tern'
porary chairman would be taken This
brought cheer to listless thousands and
the remaining spellbinders wove what
spells they could amid genial tolera
tion.
Tart Me. Watch Hadler.
It was early observed that the antl
Taft delegates had been Instructed to
watch Hadley. They had been told to
do what Hadley did. And they fol
lowed instructio'ns Implicitly. If Had
ley had begun turning handsprings
there is no doubt that antl-Taft dele
gates would have engaged simultane
ously In the same pleasing acrobatic
exercise. Hadley.sultably attired In
long frock coat and wearing an air of
Intense earnestness and devotion to
duty, clambered on the stage at the
exact moment the gavel fell, which was
noon. He was followed by James Wat
son, of Indiana, former Republican
whip of the House of Representatives,
who wore a light chocolate confection
and had his hair neatly frizzed. Mr-
Watson appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Hadley waited with much dignity
while the Invocation was said, and then
started the proceedings by moving to
substitute a temporary roll which he
had for the temporary roll he seemed
aulte certain It was In the mind of
Chairman Rosewater to propose. Mr.
Watson Inserted a definite point
order and Mr. Hadley spoke and was
followed by ex-Governor Fort, of - New
Jersey, who also had some thoughts In
his system, it appeared. Then appeared
Sereuo E. Payne, whose name is at
tached to the justly celebrated tarlft
bill, which Mr. Taft Indorsed so highly.
Mr. Parse Fears Chaos.
It was gathered from Mr. Payne's
remarks that he was deeply concerned
lest chaos ensue. At any rate he said
"chaos" some 67 tiroes in 11 minutes.
Mr. Watson oleaded for his side of It
snd Chairman Rosewater reached Into
bis pocket and drew forth his ruling
on the point of order, which he pru
dently had prepared some cays ago
and had had neatly typewritten, with
extra copies for the press, he being in
the newspaper business hlmseii.
The upshot of it was that Mr. Had-
ley's temporary roll, which contained
the names of some 80 patriotic gentle
men the National committee had care
lessly left off its temporary roll, was
rejected, and nominations for tempor
ary chairman were all the rage. Young
Mr. Cochems, of Milwaukee, who bursts
into the limelight once each four years
and warns the Republican party it
must not do these things to Robert M.
Follette, and then sits moodily by
and watches the Republicans proceed
in utter disregard to bis warning,
hopped lightly on the stage and named
Governor McGovern. of Wisconsin, for
the place.
Immediately thereafter Leader Had
ley moved forward and made a force
ful speech in favor of somebody. Mr.
Hadley Inadvertently refrained from
mentioning whom he was for during or
at- the end of his declamation, and
hastily returned to say .-the person he
had In mind was a chap named Mc
Gowan or McGovern, or something like
that. This gave the required cue to
the antl-Taft people, who cheered lond
'y and asked one another: "Who In
thunder Is McGowan?"
- Oratory Proceeds Monotonously,
Job Hedges, of New York, alleged, in
full view of the audience, that the man
needed for temporary chairman by that
convention was Senator Ellhu Root, and
time wore on. So did various orators,
Including one colored brother who
looked like Bob Fttzslmmons. dyed a
neat tan, and who started mildly by
saying "E. "Root Is the greatest states
man in the world" and worked up from
that point gradually. Towards the last
Mr. Houser, the manager for La Fol
lette, strode to the. front and announced
that while the antl-Taft people had
taken up McGovern, the true friends of
La Follette were not In on it, Mr. La
Follette refusing to do anything but
hew to the line, letting the McGoverns
fall where they might. Houser said the
antl-Taft people had reached in and
pilfered McGovern from their very
midst without consulting the La Fol
lette men, who were much vexed at
this high-handed proceeding. Mr.
Cochems followed in his warning spe
cialty. This time he warned all Wis
consin men not to vote for Root.
A few preliminaries were arranged
and the cheering announcement was
made that the roll would be called, not
by states, but by individual delegates,
thus allowing many patriots who had
not previously enjoyed that delicious
sensation, that proud privilege of hear
ing their names spoken aloud before an
anornate assembly of fellow citizens.
Rollcall Consumes Three Hoar.
The rollcall proceeded monotonously.
varied ever and anon by shouts when
an occasional negro delegate so far for
got himself as to vote for McGovern.
Instead of Root, as set forth in', the
National committee specifications. It
took about three hours to settle the
question so far as the rollcall was con
cerned and as a riot that part of it.
too, was bogus as a china egg. Indeed,
it was a most orderly and deliberate
proceeding. . ,
Mr. Root won. All this time he had
been sitting on the stage with a long
and scholarly speech concealed about
him. and he moved eagerly forward
when Chairman Rosewater gave him
the signal and began to get out from
under his thoughts. It may be true, as
the attenuated negro speaker said, that
Mr. Root is the greatest statesman in
the world, but I am here to state, with
out fear of successful contradiction, he
Is not the greatest orator in the world.
In fact, there are a vast number of
Journeyman orators orating around for
small wages who can give him a run
ning start of a peroration, ten classical
allusions and 14 tuneful tropec and beat
him to a whisper. Mr. Root has a high
and throaty voice, and while his
thoughts are couched in perfect English
and are of -a high grade, as thoughts,
they do not penetrate more than 16 feet
from Mr. Root while he Is enunciating
them. Still, a considerable of those
present at the beginning, observing
that It was too late for dinner anyhow.
remained until the completion of the
keynote and cheered at appropriate In
tervals. , . .,
The day made clear that the Roose
velt partisans do not intend to stand
for a nomination made by a list of del
egates that contains, they assert, 80
names that are not entitled to be there.
What amounted to notice was served
on the convention by Johnson - and
Heney, of California: by Fort and by
Hadley, that the Roosevelt men will
bolt at such times as they select, if
this roll is permitted to remain as the
convention's roll and these 80 men are
kept on it. - Tne Roosevelt contention
Is that these 86 men are fraudulently
on the roll, that they are not entitled
to nominate or take any other part in
the convention and that any nomina
tion in which they participate must
necessarily be tainted and not accept--
able to the people.
Hence it seems reasonably -certain
there mill be a bolt two conventions
and two nominal! onsv j

soon developed that there were only
two candidates, ex-Governor Brady and
Senator Hart. . No sooner had the mo
tion been made to select a committee
man than State Chairman Heitman ab
sented himself.
When the ballot was taken it showed
Delegates Barker, St. Claire and Davis
voting for Brady and Delegates Evans,
Flske, Cruzen and H'agenbarth for Hart
Hart was declared elected, but Brady
supporters contend that four was not
a majority of the delegation and there
fore could not elect.
There was some caustic criticism of
Heitman, but it developed he had prom
ised support to Brady before he knew
his friend Hart was a candidate. Rath
er than offend Hart, he refused to
carry out his promise to Brady.
It became apparent that Brady had
no chance of increasing his strength
and finally Barker' went over to Hart
and later the vote for Hart was made
unanimous.
Brady said today he did not care
about being National committeeman,
but during the fight last night his
three friends though otherwise.

Everybody knows Hires is good. It is made
that way. From every good and pure source
of Nature come the saps and flavors that
make this great American drink.
Sarsaparilla, sassafras, hops,
wintergreen, birch--and then
some every one good. More
than just good to the taste. It's
the most healthful of drinks
tones the blood and aids digestion.
But not a trace of drugs.
Hires just won't disagree with
you. But it will cool you off like
a breeze after a cooling storm.
Needless to say "rootbeer." Just

That's the way to order beer don't quibble
with your dealer if you simply ask for the
best beer lie knows you mean Rose City but
so many are calling for it that he may be out
and will send you some other brew. But every
family who has ever tried the famous
Rose Gity Beer
like the flavor and the quality so well that they
wilLbe satisfied with no other brew.
An extra amount of imported hops give it a
flavor not to be found in any other beer sold
in Portland.
