CONVENTION 1S WELL CILED BY MR. ROOSEVELT Republicans Hold ‘the Initial Meeting of Their National Convention in Chicago and Carry Out President’s Wishes, EX-SECRETARY ROOT IS ‘TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN. First Day’s Session Was Quickly Over and There Was a Sur- prising Lack of Enthusiasm Among the Delegates. CHICAGO, June 21.—The Republican Natlonal Convention, the thirteenth in the party's history, met in the Collseum| about noon to-day and organized. The |. grand climax, the nominations, will not be reached until the third day. Senator Depew calls to-day a curtain-radser for the more serfous drama of to-morrow and Thursday. The curtain-ralser was in itself an absorbing production. Weather predictions were disturbing. There was a suggestion of rain In the air, and the sun had a struggle all the morning with clouds banked up over the lake. Fresh breezes from the north- west cooled the temperature, but In- doors, out of reach of the breeze, the day was hot. m Five Acres of Sentn. Five acres of seats under the arches of the Coliseum began to fill by 10.30 o'clock. The Interest that had for two days eddied gently around fifty States or Territorial headquarters concentrat- ed upon this five steel-covered acres, or rather upon that fragment of an acre of delegates’ chairs painted green in front of a orlmson-carpeted rostrum .set with Flemish oak furniture. The table was a solld plece, *%t to stand the blows to be beat upon it. As thin lines of delegates and other ticket-holders entered from many en- trances the watohers outside grew into @ multitude, and ~ + hearts Ddurned over fruitless plannings for admisston. But most of those outside were satis- fied with the mild thrill of being { nthe neighborhood of where large things were to be done, for the first session ot the National Convention was an {m- portant fact, even if its general results were certainties beforehand. Senator Fairbanks arrived five min- utes before the time for opening the convention, He was cheered heartily. Doorkeeper Didn't Know Depew. Chauncey M, Depew was the recipient of a hearty welcome as he came through the main entrance on the west side of the pullding. The Senator walked down toward the platform en- rely oblivious of an anxious door- keeper, who did not know him and was endeavoring to learn it he was properly entitled to the privileges of the hall. Halfway up the seats of the New York delegation, when just in front of the left centre of the platform, the Senator was overtaken and mado to deliver. Senator Scott presented National Chairman Henry C,,Payne with a hand- some gavel. It was large and made for business. A heavy gold band was in- scribed “Mr, Henry C. Payne, Chair- man, Republican ‘National Committee, Hanna’s Name im Roll Call. Mr, Payne expressed his appreciation of the gift and at once announced that Secretary Elmer Dover, of the National Committee, would read the call of the convention, Mr, Dover delegated Mr, of Ohio, one of the reading to do the reading. ‘As le read, the band —played on the outside to some extent drowning the Yolce of the clerk. When he reached the slgnature of the call, “M.A. Hanna," the convention broke "into spontaneous applause and cheers. Ex-Secretary Root was elected tem- porary chairman and in delivering bis Speech said: “With McKinley we re- member Hana. ere was a demon- stration, the delegates standing. Later, when he mentioned Roosevelt's name the convention grasped the op- portulty to applaud. ‘The conventlon unanimously approved the recommendation of the National Committee allowing Porto Rico. —two delgates and the Philippines six dele- gates with two votes. ‘At the conclusion of the call of the Sintes the convention adjourned until noon to-morow. Back of the chairman's platform hung the colossal portrait of the late Senator Hanna on a canvas twenty by seventeen feet. Portraits of the President, with flags about them, were placed at’ regu- lar intervals around the amphitheatre. A dannerette of the Home Market Club, of Boston, swung near the root oppo- aite the chairman, Interesting Sight. Underneath the rostrum and stretch- ing the whole length of the basement was one of the most curlous sights of the convention—the paraphernalia and the workers who communicated to tho millions what the thousands saw.
