The crowd then began yelling: “Four years more—four, four, four years more.” Lodge smiled. Then some one pointed out the president's daughter, The crowd turned toward her.

TEDDY BEAR RAISED. A huge Teddy bear was raised high in the air from the newspaper section, and this still further increased the volume of the noise, which seemed before to have reached the limit of human vocal possibilities. Senator Lodge pounded on his desk with the gavel, but the sound could not be heard 20 feet in front of him.

NO. 98. eed ROOSEVELT! | The big Teddy bear was tossed from the newspaper sec- tion to the Oklahoma delegation, where it was placed in the seat of a delegate and made to wave its paws in aid of the cheering. Two Oklahoma delegates engaged in a personal fight over the possession of the bear, and in the excitement exchanged several blows before they were parted. Manager Frank H. Hitchcock, of the Taft forces, was not perturbed by the demonstration. He was smiling as he walk- ed across the hall and went up to the Ohio section, where he shook hands with Charles P. Taft, brother of the secretary. This he did with an air of perfect ease, but there were some who thought it was a sign of fear that he should consider it necessary to make such a noticeable public display of confi- dence. The time of the ovation was carefully kept, and it lasted exactly 49 minutes, according to several “time keepers” appoint- ed in the press section. During the ovation flags were waved, canes were pound- ed on the floor, old men and young men leaped up and down in the aisles.
