Senatop Scott, on behalf of the Chi- cago eftizens’ committee, which co- operated with the national committee of arrangements for the convention, then presented National Chairman ! Henry C. Payne with a handsome lcome as he came | through the main entrance on the west | gide of the building.

Half-way up to| the seats of the New York delegation, Just in the left center of the left plat- form, the Senator was overtaken and made to deliver.

S e name in the convention, and the dele- gates rose at the sound as one mau. Cheers rang through the hall, and many men sprang upon their chairs and waved hats, banners and hand- kerchiefs. After the applause bhad subsided Chairman Payne, in a few words, ex- pressed thanks for the gavel. He then cntlemen of the convention: The pational committee has selected for your temporary chairman the Hon. Elihu Root of New York."” Thkere was another shout from the convention, which was prolonged when Governor Qdell of New York rose to move that the action of the nationat committee be approved. ROOT’'S WARM RECEPTION. Applause greeted Governor Odell, and it was some moments before he could put his motion. It was at once adopted by the convention. Mr.. Root was greeted with renewed cheers as he advanced to the speakers’ stand. “Mr. Chairman,” he id, "I am deeply—" Another burst of cheering cut him off. “I am deeply,” resumed Mr. Root, when quiet was restored, and this time he was permitted to proceed. Simultaneously with ex-Secretary Root’s appearance at the speakers’ table an immense oil painting of Presi- dent Roosevelt was unveiled at his right. o The tableau brought forth a burst of enthusiasm. As Mr. Root began to speak the picture was removed and the sole attention of the immense gathering was devoted to the New York statesman. He had hardly struck his stride when cries of “louder” were heard from far recesses of the hall. ‘His voice soon gained power, however, and his well-enunciated words rang through the still hall. Mr. Root concluded his address with the words, “Theodore Roosevelt,” and these were magic to the delegates. The most marked demonstration of the session ensued. The delegates climbed on the chairs and tossed hats and handkerchiefs into the air. A white-haired irrepressible in the Connecticut delegation led off with his silk flag,, which he waved' frantically. A number of the national committee- men crowded around Mr. Root and shook his hand in congratulation, while the orchestra rendered a med- ley of the national airs. TEMPORARY OFFICERS. The roll of the temporary officers of the convention was then read by the clerk and approved by the convention. They are as follows: Clerk at president's desk—Asher C. Hinds, Maine, Official reporter—Milton W. Blum- enburg, District of Columbia. Tally clerks—Fred B. Whitney, Illi- nois; George W. Dixon, Nebraska; Lucien Swift Jr., Minnesota. Messenger to the secretary—Henry F. Daniels, Wisconsip. Messenger to the chairman—Guer- ley Brewer, Indiana. General secretary—Charles W. John- son, Minnesota. Among the assistant secretaries is Walter S. Mellick of California. Sergeant at arms—William F. Stone, Maryland. First assistant sergeant at arms— David C. Owen, Wisconsin. Chief of doorkeepers—Charles S. Montell, Maryland. Chaplains—First day, Rev. Timothy Frost; Rev. Thomas E. Cox, second day; Rev. Thaddeus Snively, third day. All of Illinois. Senator Carter of Montana presented the following resolution: “Resolved, That until a permanent organization is effected this conven- tion be governed by the rules of the last Natlonal Republican Convention.” This was adopted. Senator L. H. McComas of Mary- land then offered the following reso- lution: ‘“Resolved, That the roll of States and Territories be now called and that the chairman of each delegation an- nounce the names of the persons selected to serve on the several com- mittees, as follows: “Permanent organization, rules and order of business, credentials, resolu- tions, and further, that the chairman of each delegation send to the secre- tary's desk in writing the names of the persons selected from his delegation | to serve on the aforesaid committees.” The chairman stated that the Nation- al Committee had placed upon the roll the names of two delegates from Porto Rico and six from the Philippines, with two votes, and asked the pleasure of | the convention upon the action of the conl-nmnlee on the ordering of a roll call. Senator Foraker moved that the ac- tion of the National Committee be ap- proved and the motion carried, but one voice being heard in the negative. CONFUSION DROWNS VOICES. The call of the roll for the announce- ment | of members of the committees commenced and immediately, such con- fusion arosec that the names as called could not be heard. Speaker Cannon asked unanimous consent. that as soon as a State was called its list of committeemen be sent* to the clerk’s desk without being read in the convention. .The motion of Mr. Cannon was adopted and almost in- stantly the assemblage lost all resem- blance to a convention. The galleries began to empty, the delegates mingled on the floor and Mr. Root was sur- rcunded by a group of chatting friends, | while messengers forced their way through ‘the crowd to collect the com- mittee lists. Several Impromptu receptions oc- curred in various parts of the hall. Speaker Cannon, in the Iliinois delega- tion, was the center of one group and Chauncey M.

His judgment in this important matter | prevailed over that of lhe_ai'knuwl- edged leaders of the California delega- | tion and has given him a lift as a factor in the national game. When the California delegation met this morning at 10:30 o’clock Chairman McKinley announced that in his opin- it was advisable that the delega-| tion announce its position as to its| choice for Vice President. He said he beli i the delegation should declare in favor of Fairbanks of Indiana. and that he would entertain a motion to Governor Pardee rose an“ll yving a tribute to Indiana’s blican moved that the del- are in his favor. .

RUEF SCORES ONE. Ruef then stepped forward and an- nounced that he was unalterably op- posed to any actioh on the part of the delegation looking toward its an- nouncement in favor of any candidate until it could be ascertained beyond doubt that it was not committing itself | to a policy that developments might | prove unwise. He said he had ascer-| tained that the delegates had been led | astray by the newspapers of the East, and announced that he favored the ex- ercise cf individual intelligence in this| mibst important question. He asked that the motion be withdrawn until a, be made. Governor Pardee insisted that his mo- tion be put, but Ruef's logic had had its effect. Eleven of the delegates voted against the measure and it was de- feated. As soon as the meeting adjourned | — by the time the list of committeemen had been prsented. Delegate Thomas of Illinois, after introducing a resolution which he wished to o to the committee on res- olutions without being read, made a motion that the convention adjourn. Nobody paid any attention to his mo- ticn and he withdrew it a few moments later. A few raps from the chairman’s gavel brought order in the convention and the clerk proceeded to tabulate the names of the committeemen and the chairmar announced the places of meeting. Ex-Senator Mason of Illinois present- ed a petition, which was referred to the commitiee on resolutions without debate. Mr., Root announced the time and place of meeting of the various commit- tees. The secretary was then instruct- ed to announce the committees, which were read to the convention. Senator Depew présented to the con- vention an invitation from the Louis- jana Purchase Exposition for the con- vention and the members of the press to attend the exposition at the close of the convention at the expense of the exposition. Senator Depew was made to go to the platform and read the invitation. Upon resolution of Senator Depew the chairman was requested to ap- point a committee to arrange and re- port upon the invitation. Senator Depew made a brief address, hoping the convention would accept. The resolution was adopted and the committee appointed as follows: Senator Depew, New York; Carter, Montana; Van Sant, Minnesota, and Parker of Missouri. The convention adjourned at 2:12 the scssion, were three-fourths empty | p. m. until noon to-morrow. When the California delegation re- assembled at 11 o’clock to march to the convention hall Ruef made known the investigations. He then made a motion that the delegation de- clare in favor of Fairbanks. The mo- tion was put and unanimously carried. CALIFORNIA'S FAME SPREADS. Upon the adjournment of the con- vention to-day the California dele- gates returned to headquarters. and then began a reception which the old- est statesmen in the party say was never equaled at a national gather- ng. California has profited more by this convention than any other State in the nation. The flavor of her fruits is now known to the most distinguished men of the*country, as is the richne of her wines and the bouquet of he s. brandi The next chairman of Cali- fornia's commission to a world’s fair should be Fulton G. Berry of Fresno. While the delegates were doing poli- tics, Berry was doing wonders. He was piloting America’s biggest men to the headquarters, and as they tasted of the fruits and sipped the wines, he told in eloquent diction of the re- sources of the Golden State. Visitors that have arrived here from the world's fair say this feature of the national convention will do as much good for California as her great exhibit at the exposition grounds. Senator Fairbank Congressman Littlefield, Depew and Governor Odell were amon the distinguished visitors at the Cali fornia headquarters to-day. JOKE ON THE GOVERNOR. A good story was told on Governor Pardee at headquarters to-day. Last night, accompanied by Mrs. Par the Misses Pardee, Mr. and Mrs Charles £ r, M Spear, Dr. Leo Green, Captain F. E. Webb and Miss Lauretta Kirk, the Governor witnessed the production of “The Wizard of Oz.” The Governor and his party Vv placed in the Iy bespangled “Sar my” box.
