i _THE EVENING WORLD, WE DNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1912.' waved it over her head. The woman proved to be Mrs. W. A. Davis of Chicago. The Oklahoma and Nebraska delegations went up and led Mrs. Davis down to the press section at the right of the platform, where she again led the great volume of cheerings. Some carried her on their * shoulders to the platform. It was forty-five minutes since the racket began. Root began to pound for order. William J. Bryan with a broad smile on his face said: “This looks like 1896. You can’t tell where a thing like this will At last ‘Chairman an “1 don't know what in the world they are demonstrating about,” | remarked Gov. Hadley when the cheering kept on and on, without any apparent diminution. | DELEGATES EXPECTED TROUBLE. Feverish uncertainty as to the course the Roosevelt forces might fotlow served to bring the delegates to their seats early, but the spec- | tators, possibly peeved because of the lack of bloodshed and the surfeit | of tiresome oratory at yesterday's session, were slow in assembliag. The | great hall was not more than three-quarters filled at 11’oclock, when the | convention was to have been called to order. The crowd was apathetic but ready for entertainment. A National Convention has grown to be a spectacular entertainment witl, business | subordinated to tumult. Of course the howling and rooting have no effect on the ultimate outcome of the deliberations, but the spectators, a vast majority of whom are equipped with free seats, are exacting of what they consider their rights, and ten thousand persons clamoring in concert can halt even the business of so momentous a proceeding as choosiug a candidate for the Presidency. in some manner a rumor that the Roosevelt forces would bolt during to-day's session gained wide currency previous to the start of the conven- tion, The belief that the Colonel's delegates would walk out was quile general among the Administration rank and file. The police protection afforded by the city of Chicago was as elab- | orate as yesterday. The plain clothes men were more vigilant if anything. No one carrying a package was alowed to enter the building, and ir some cases delegates or reporters carrying bundles of newspapers were compelled to open them up and show that no weapons were con- cealed therein. IN PRIZE RING STYLE. Soon after Chairman Root Bad arrived om the platform he was flanked on one side by Gov, Hadiey, the Roosevelt leader, and on the other by James Watson of the Taft forces. As a preliminary to the day's expected hostilities all three shook hands “and retired to their corners,” prize ring) e ehies Hadley and Watson arranged for an equal division of the three hours’ debate that was to be allowed on the Roosevelt proposition to sub- mit a roll containing 92 Roosevelt delegates in place of 92 Taft followers seated by the National Committee. Chairman Root finally pounded the table with his gavel at 11.15 and or- dered the Sergeantat-Arms to clear the aisles. A swarm of delegates and alternates wandered aimlessly about the hall in search of their seats. Surrounding Gov. Deneen’s seat on the floor were the Roosevelt leaders im earnest consultation, In the group were Senator Dixon, Gov, Hadley, William Fitnn and Gov. Johnson of California. After waiting fifteen min-| utes, Mr. Root again called for order, “The exercise¢—T mean the bustnese—of this day will be opene! with | prayer by the Rev. Joseph Stots,” sald the chairman. | The delogates and alternates and every person in the galleries arose and | stood during the invocation, i FIGHT ON CONTESTED SEATS. @enator Root announced the unfinished business of the day. Watson that the convention proceed td the appointment of the ‘mlvtees, and the substitute motion of Gov. Hadley that the Roosevelt list of 8 delegates de wuhetituted for the temporary roll. He also announced the agree ment as to three hours’ debate, and asked if there was objection. There was not. As Gov, Hadley advanced to the front of the mage to open the debate a Tound of cheers frem the Roosevelt forces greeted him, ‘When the tumult substded Gov. Hadley bewan an explanation of the situ- ation confronting the convention. He reviewel the events of yesterday teading up to the ruling of National Committee Chairman Rosowater, which quashed the Hadley motion to purge the temperary roll. “We could have met immediately and forelbly overturned this arbitrary and unpariiamentary ruling,” sald Hadley, and he was roundly eheered. “We could have forcibly insisted on calling the roll on that motion, and we could have forcibly taken control, Instead we chose to wait patiently until to-day, Gov, Hadley did not atiempt to go into detatls of vari contested cases, paying he would leave that to other speakers, Me read the “mdtetment™ of (he National Committees as uttered by Col.

Allen of Kansas spoke for the Roose Washington case in some detail, denouncing Potell’s statement an “flimsy.” Akon frequently was cheered by the Roosevelt delegates and laughed at by the Taft adberents. Agen was challenged to say whether he intended to support the nominee of this convention. ‘He said he would “on one condition—that his nomination ts not accomplished dy fraud and thievery.” A great uproar of cheering and angry shouts followed. “You haven't got anything until this convention's over; then the Lord only knows what you've got.” "Are you going to abide by the decision of this convention?” shouted a dele- @ate from Colorado. anewer you later.” “Answer me now," said the tormenter. ‘The floor was in an uproar. “BN answer you, I'll answer you," shouted Allen, his face growing red and | fis voice growing husky.
