Justice and "brourht back to men their
faith in government." -
Allen waa overheated and perspiring.
- "Wood,' declared Allen, "represents
the calm faith which the fathers Intend
ed we should have in the protective
power, of government.
The Kansas delegates, wearing sun
flowers, listened Intently, leaning for
ward in their place. -
As he told of how Wood was relieved
from command of his division on tin
ve of. his sailing for France, a gust
of cheers and a patter of handclapping
swept across the hall. Several nasal
voiced - horns sounded in the midst pt
It- It appeared that they were scat
tered throughout the -crowd.
As Allen concluded, demanding the
nomination of Wood, a mighty yell went
up. Showers -of many- colored Wood
feathers fluttered down from the gal
lery tn a veritable storm. Wood pen
nants appeared throughout the -crowd.
The whole scene was flooded with the
glare of arc lamps while the' movies
were taken. Repeated blasts from horns
sounded in the galleries. Hundreds of
delegates were On their chairs. The rain
of feathers continued for several min
utes. Evidently baskets of them had
been concealed in the girders.
The delegations In the center of the
hall. Including Michigan, Iowa, New
York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsyl
vania, unio and most or isew jersey,
remained - seated. During the ; excite
ments Frank Hitchcock, one of the
.Wood managers, appeared on-the plat
form. He carried & blue feather. He
was nervous and constantly licked his
lips as he paced back and forth.
TWO STATES; WHOOP IT VP ' .
During the Wood demonstration many
delegates from Arizona, New Mexico,
Tennessee and New ISngland were on
their feet. The KansaSdelegaUon and
the Nebraskans were doing much of the
cheering. Wood boosters kept the ova
tion going, chanting "Wood. Wood,
Wood," when It showed signs of. losing
any of its strength. The band began
playing. Only an occasional -vote could
be heard. Shrill whistles ,eut through
the roar of cheers. . , . i :
At 10:43 a. m. the demonstration had
.continued six minutes with do sign of
abating. ; . ' -
a Wood delegations gathered up great
bundles of colored "plumage 'which had
come fluttering down. The choruses of
horn blasts werctakenr up :n all the gal
leries by sections and suddenly a great
blaring of Horns came from ' the spec
tators' sections in the rear; of the plat
form. -' -i ,-.---
Then the ', cheers' swelled op again,
louder than ever, - and nothing could be
heard but a great, pulsating confusion
of human voices with shrill overtones.
A clattering of tin pans Jroke out in
the rear of the platform.

The Wood procession got tangled In

The horn blasts broke out anew.
Lodge repeatedly banged with his
gavel, but was unable to get any atten

heard -very far from the platform. ,
Many state standards were decorated
with Wood feathers. They included Ari

and Maine. The Philipplne's standard
was' crowned with a Wood banner. , ,

There still waa : a steady undercurrent
of sound, kept up by. a! comparative few.
Chairman Lodge sat at his desk with
a resigned- look waiting ' patiently;
: The Wood adherents had kept up their
clamor for 24 minutes at 10 :67. The
sound, however, had dribbled away and
was manifestly being kept up by main
strength. , .
CSOWD LOOKS BOKED
. The delegates who were not taking
part in. th "show" manifested increas
ing symptoms of ennui. Some produced
newspapers and read them in a bored
manner. Others gossiped quietly to

Another Seconding speech was made
by Mrs. Corlnne Roosevelt Robinson, New

was the first time a .woman had. made
a seconding ' speech in - a national, con
vention. - She was received with great
enthusiasm. . ; -
Mrs. ; Robinson - said thousands of
American mothers felt that the. foresight
and vision of General Wood sent their
sons overseas "fit fighting machines in
stead of cannon fodder." -
She said she supported Wood, not be
cause he was a friend of the late Colonel
Roosevelt, but because he is of the Roose

SHE MAKES SHORTEST 'SPEECH
In the shortest speech' of the conven
tion, Mcs. Dobbyns scored a tremendous
hit by paying a tersely worded tribute
to her candidate, seconding his nomina
tion and withdrawing after using up less
than two minutes of her allotted time. :
"In the name of the women of Amer
ica," she said, "I have the honor of sec
onding the nomination of Governor Low
den." .
Governor Morrow of Kentucky, men
tioned as a vice presidential possibility,
waa the next speaker to second Lowden.
"Kentucky is the neighbor of. Illinois.
It is said "in the Holy book that blessed
is the man who ia loved by his .neighbor.
Without division of one mind and with
one heart, Kentucky will vote for, Low
den until he is nominated , by this con
vention,'! said Mrs. Dobbyns.
WHEELER 2f AMES JOHNS02T
Charles S. Wheeler of California put
in nomination the name of Hiram John
son. . The preliminary mention of John
son's name brought forth only a mod
est, short-lived cheer. J: v
The Iowa and Illinois delegates led
the cheer. :.
Senator Johnson, shortly after his nom
ination speech started, left his headquar
ters for the Coliseum, but it was stated
that be did not expect to appear In the
delegate section off the floor. . Other can
didates thus far nominated remained in
their rooms and read with intense inter
est the United Press- report of the con
vention developments. The hotel lob
bies, so crowded during all the week,
were nearly deserted during the session.
At the outset Wheeler's speech was
quietly received. Several of his pauses
passed in silence.
, A quotation from Lincoln, : "Govern
ment of the people, . for, the people and
by the people," got the first applause
for Wheeler, but the erowd was slowly
Warming- up. When he asked if the peo
ple wanted four years more of the Wil
son family: in the White House, there
were . cries off, "No!" He demanded
whether the people would "force the head
off the dynasty to abdicate and then take
on the crown prince."
ANIMUS IS SHOWN , . -1
" When Wheeler predicted the nomina
tion off Johnson would assure victory,
there waa but scattered applause. . But
when he said that Johnson had won
great victories .without , big financial
backing, there wa a chorus of laughs,
booes . and hisses. : Wheeler refused to
stop in his speech to wait for quiet and
several spectators called to him from
the gallery. It was the first evidence of
open animus, displayed toward any can
didate's name by the ; delegates on ' the
floor. ' . - - , - . "
: The crowd renewed : its ? calls and
laughter and Wheeler was again forced
to-cease speaking. Beveridge was com
pelled to intercede. . He urged the del
eagtea to be quiet, saying he hoped he
wouldn't have to use the gavel. again.
There was more laughter at this. :r
"The present speaker takes these in
terruptions with good humor.Wheeler"
smiled when 'order was restored, and
hie display of good sportsmanship won
him a .hearty round of applause, f
"Newspaper publicity is valuable,' but

there are other means' through which!
the people learn of the - men , God or
dained to be their leaders," said Wheel
er. The crowd" half cheered, - and in
tne midst of a half lull there . was a
cry ;-of "Hearst from the .gallery a
reference to Hearst's newspaper sup
port of the Calif ornlan. " . .
The convention roared with laughter
at the gibe,'
The Wheeler speech was an - obvious
disappointment - to the California dele
gation and ' to- the Johnson supporters
in the galleries. The speaked adopted
a somewhat singsong tone. . His voice
weakened and be was frequently forced
to ; moisten his throat and lips with
water. , The result waa. a wave of rest
lessness which swept the hall, and - a
gradually mounting murmur and buz
of conversation, which further reduced
the, effectiveness of the speaker's ef
forts. - ?;S '- ; --"';"-?
ji Kndeavorlng to show that Johnson's
candidacy was representative of 'wide in
terests. Wheeler said - there were three
bankers in the California delegation, the
combined deposits of whose banks were
1240,000,000. Renewed laughter awept
the hall, finally growing to general con
fusion.. The delegates evidently were
getting back, at the speaker for his ref
erences to the financial backing of other
contenders for the nomination. -
HE TTJRNS OK CROWD .
1 There were cheers when Wheeler an
nounced he was nearing the close, and,
deviating from the text Of his address,
be leaned over the rails and. shaking
his finger down at the crowd, shouted:
:, "Yes, hear ! , : Uncork your prejudiced
ears and hear, for the first tlmetln your
lives," what this man stands for F
There was' a scattered cheer from the
gallery,, but from the place where sat
the men with the nominating votes noth
ing but silence. ' -
i "The ' time has come to drive the
bosses from this temple of Republican
ism," said Wheeler. Hoots and Jeers
from the delegates were the floor'a re
sponse. r'.''Hi-.i '.::.:.
Wheeler concluded at 1 :19 and the
California delegation leaped to its feet
with great American flags to start the
demonstration. They began a proces
sion around the room, shouting, "Hiram
through megaphones.
.The Michigan delegation also was up,
waving flags.
; The Johnsonites produced d ox ens of
large American flags and signs bearing.
Johnson slogans and pictures. .
DEMONSTRATION IS FAILURE
' From the center gallery an enormous
pictures o( Johnson was unfurled. It
was obvious.! however, before the dem
onstration had been oh five " minutes,
that the enthusiasm of the loyal Cali
fornia delegation ; could not atone- for
the deadly effect, : . , -
. The volume of cheering did not com
pare with the noise that .greeted the
names of Lowden : and Wood, and ; the
great majority of the delegates stood
in the aisles and conversed or mounted
their chairs to see what was going on.
The California delegation persevered,
in an 1 effort to recruit delegates from
other states to their parde, with little
success. - -
The . Calif orniafls chanted - "Hiram.
Hiram ; We Want Hiram," . and urged
other vocalists to Join in the refrain, but
with ill success. . , V '
The surprise of the demonstration was
the comparative apathy of the galleries.
Johnson has had strongr-ewspaper sup
ports in Chicago,, and -it -was expected
tha- regardless of the attitude of the
delegates, 'the galleries, would accord
faint a spectacular greeting. It .speedily
became evident, however, that the
weather' and the ' humidity, . or some
other, phenomena more closely related
to polities, was having s bearish effect,
and ? the galleries were decidedly slow

:- At one point in the cheering a woman,

NOISE LACKS SPONTANEITY -
At 1:40 p. m. the demonstration was
still on, but obviously, as in the case of
each of the previous demonstrations, the
outbursts were mechanical and : almost
entirely lacking of spontaneity. Dele
gates in various parts of the hall read
newspapers, fanned themselves or visited
among themselves, taking little or no
part in any of the proceedings. The noise
was confined almost exclusively to the
galleries and to the effort of the Cal
ifornia delegation and a few of Its supporters.-
- -. ' ' - ' y: "'
Senator Lodge, who had resumed
charge off the gavel made no attempt to
head off the demonstration or to bring
the convention to order during- any one
of the lulls, until 1:41, when, remarking
to the press box; that the ''delegates
needed a little recess." he stepped for
ward and banged half heartedly with his
gavel.
1 It was obvious, 'however, " that the
chairman figured he could Stand as much
punishment; as either , the delegates or
the. galleries. . He made it clear , that
each candidate was to be allowed the
full limit of time for his particular and
pet demonstration. : ' a
BLIND MAN SECONDS
At .1:44 Lodge hammered the conven
tion to order, the demonstration for
Johnson having lasted 28 minutes. As
quiet ,i was : resumed, . i Representative
Thomas W. Schall of Minnesota, a blind
congressman, was led forward by his
S-yaar-old son and started tne iirst sec
opdtng speech for Johnson's nomination.
Jtfat before the Johnson demonstra
tion was concluded. Chairman Lodge told
the . United Press that It was. his idea
to go directly through with thei. program
without interruption, but that he did not
know how long , the delegates' would
stand for the present heat and discom

Representative Schall described "how

It is the heart of the people I that is
demanding Johnson, Schall declared, and
a shout went up from the galleries.
Schall referred to Senator Penrose
sending from Philadelphia a message
that the convention should nominate
the man who could win. -
"That can mean no other man than
Hiram Johnson,' cried Schall, and there
waa a real jcheer. . - IN
