' and to the crowds which filed the en
trances and overflowed Into the streets.
After the crowd yelled Itself hoarse It
permitted the band to participate In the
demonstration. The leader chose patrlotlo
music, and the familiar words were taken
up by the convention and sung with earn
estness. The band changed to rag-time
and the convention found cheering was
better timed to t,he muelc. There was no
pause In the enthusiasm. Several times
ij Speaker Cannon walked out on the projec
' tlon and lifted his hand for order,
f When from sheor exhaustion the throng
lessened Its tumult and Speaker Cannon
found his opportunity; golr.g to the very
edge of the" platform, he knelt and poundel
' the floor for ord'r. When he had gained
' attention jf the convention he announced
'. that the flag he -had been waving was
i sacred to the party ns the national emblem,
waved when the beloved. Lincoln was th!
' choice of the rcpubllrto convention. His
speech caused another outburst of ap
plause In honor of the flag.
Senator Eeverldgo was recognized by the
' chair for the purpose of seconding the
nomination cf Mr. Roosevelt for president.
He waa followed by George A. Knight of
California. Mr. Knight had a voice which
i fairly thund .red through the hall. He
opened his speech by a statement concern
ing the broad expanse of republican har
' mony. "Geography," he roared, and some
wit In the extreme end of the hall ahouted
In response, "Not so loud." The conven
'. tlon laughed and so did Mr. Knight.
Pandemonium Bans Hlot.
The orator from the Golden Gate City
had tho convention with him. Mr. Knight
proved himself a man of phrases.
The California delegates started a parade
around the convention hall at the close
'. of Mr. Knight's speech, but Speaker Can
non wanted to get on with business. Ac-
' cordlngty, aa soon as he could make hlm-
self heard, he recognized the next speaker.
The seconding speeches following that of
' Mr. Knight were made by Perry Btlllwell
j Kdwards of Georgia, ex-Governor Bradley
oft Kentucky, Joseph B. Cotton of Minne-
sota and Hary C. Cummlngs of Maryland.
Mr. Cummlngs is one of the colored dele

in.tnntiv the convention was In an up
roar. The New York delegation was on lta
feet like one man, waving tneir nags ana
shouting wildly. Ex-Governor Frank
Black of New York, who was to dsllver
the nominating speech In behalf of Presi
dent Roosevelt, immediately started for the
platform, amid the wildest entnusiaam on
the part of'the delegates.
Am flrtvmmnr Tllark reached the desk Of
Chairman Cannon he was warmly greeted
by that gentleman and escorted down to
the front of the platform.
Black K antes Rooaevelt.
Here Chairman Cannon, standing by the
side of Mr. Black, in a few words Intro
duced him to the convention. Thera waa
succession of shouts from the convention,
a chorua of ahrleks from the New York
delegation, then silence, and Mr. Black com
menced his speech in behalf of President
Roosevelt.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Con
vention: We are here to inaugurate a
campaign which seems already to be nearly
closed. So wlsoly have the people sowed
and watched and tended, there seems little
now to do but to measure up the grain.
They are ranging themselves not for battle
but for harvest. In one column reaching
from toe Maine woods to the Puget Sound
there are thoaa DeoDle and those states
which have stoou so long together, that
wnen great emergencies arise tne nation
turns Instinctively to them. In this col
umn, vast and soiid. is a majority so over
whelming that the scattered squads in op
position can hardly ralat another army.
The enemy has neither guns aor ammuni
tion, and If they had they would use them
on each other. Destitute of the weapons of
effective warfare, the only evidence of ap
proaching battle is in the tone and number
of their bulletins, ".'here is discord among
the generals; discord among the soldiers.
iMca would ngnt in bis own way. out De
fore assaulting his republican adversaries
be would first destroy bis own comrades in
the adjoining tents. Each believes the
weapons chosen by the other are not only
wicked but fatal to tne holder. That la
true. This is the only war of modern
times where the boomerang has been sub
stituted for the gun. Whatever fatalities
may occur, nowever, among tne aiacoraam
hoata now moving on St. L,ouls, no harm
will come this fall to the American neoDle.
There will be no opposition sufficient to
raise a connict. mere win oe naraiy
enough for competition. There are no
democratic plana for the conduct ol tne
fall campaign. Their zeal Is chiefly cen
tered In discussion as to what Thomas Jef
ferson would do if he were living. He is
not uvmg ana Dut tew or nis descendants
are among the democratic remnants of
today. Whatever of oatrlotlsm or wisdom
emanated from that distinguished man IS
now represented in tnla convention.
Party Solves Problem. . .
There are manv new namaa In theaa dava.
but the republican party needs no new
title. It stands now where It stood at the
beginning. Memory alone la needed to tell
the source from which the inspirations of
the country flow, a drowsy memory would
ue as guiuy now as a sleeping watenman
when the enemy Is astir. The name of the
republican party stands over every door
wnere a ngnteous cause was born, its
members have gathered around every
movement, no matter how weak. If In
spired by high resolve. Its flag for mora
than fifty years baa been the sign of hope
on every spot where liberty waa the word.
i nat party neeoa no new name or plat
form to deslarnate its nurnoaea. It la now
as It has been, equipped, militant and In
motion, xne- prooiems oi every sge met
age must solve. Great causes Impose great
demands, but never In any enterprise nave
the American people failed, and never In
any crisis has the republican party failed
to express the conscience and Intelligence
of that people.
You have come from every state and ter
ritory in this vast domain. The country
and the town have vied with each other
in sending here their contributions to this
splendid throng Every highway in the
land is leading here and crowded with the
memrjers or tnat great party which sees In
this SDlendid cltv the avnv of lta risa
and power. Within this unexampled tnul-
iiiuue is every ranx ana condition or Tree
men, every creed and occupation. But
today a common purpose and desire have
engaged us all, and from every nook said
corner of the country rises but a single
choice to fill the most exalted office In the
world. He Is no stranger waiting in the
shade to be called suddenly Into publio
iuit. ine American people nave seen nirn
for many years snd always where the fight
was thickest and the greatest need was
felt. He has been alike conspicuous In the
pursuits of Deaco and In the arduous atreaa
of war. No man now living will forget the
spring of '98, when the American mini
was so inflamed and American patriotism
so aroused; when among all the eager clt
Ixens surging to the front aa soldiers, the
man whom this convention has already in
tm heart was among the flrst to hear the
call and answer to his name. Preferring
peace but not. afraid of war; faithful to
every private obligation vet flrst to volun.

Haw tba Speaker Uaktl,
Aa he confronted the convention Gov
ernor Black presented a striking figure
He la tall and gaunt. His hair, originally
dark brown, la liberally sprinkled with
gray; hla dark eyea look out sharply front
behind spectacles and from beneajh closely
overhanging eyebrows.
Governor Black'a voice, though not heavy,
carried well and Increased In volume aa
he got fairly underway. Hla epigrams
provoked laughter and the sharply turned
sentence, for wlilch be la noted, never
failed to raise a ripple of appreciative ap
plause.
On the lapel of hie coat Governor Black
wore a pink carnation, and every few
minutes of hla address he clutched this
lightly up In hla handkerchief, rom hla
left to hla light hand, always, when he did
so, holding his right hand behind his back.
He used few gestures and these mainly
by the left arm. which he raised from
time to time when he desired to em
phasise a point.
Cheers Draws Artlealate Soaad.
Governor Black pronounced tha nominat
ing words Just at 11:08 o'clock. Aa he did
Jb he quickly retired frqm the' platform.
But the words "Theodors Roosevelt" had
not left his lips when there waa a ahout.
Tha convention waa on lta feet. Like
the crash of thunder that follows the
lightning enthusiasm began. Flaga were
In the air, hata were -thrown up, men
Jumped on to their chairs; women stood
and shouted. The air was rent with
one contlnuoua prolonged ahout from thou
sands of throata. So mighty waa the
volume of aound that nothing definite In the
way of articulate aounda was distinguish
able. At thla point the band struck up. Its
strains, however, were only faintly dis
cernible In the mighty din. Then Chairman
Cannon took a hand. Unfurling a tattered
silk flag, he advanced to the extreme edge
of tha platform and began to wave It
PIa Frasa Llaeela Caaveatlea.
The flag la tha property of the Uncoln
McKinley association of Missouri, and It
mad lta first appearance at a republican
national convention In 1890, when Lincoln
waa nominated. It waa then carried by the
Missouri delegation and was waved over
the platform on that occasion aa in thla.
It waa fuel to the flame of enthusiasm and
the volume of sound Increased.
The front of the platform was next oc
cupied by an immense portrait of President
Rooaevelt bctne aloft by three men. Again
broke lctth fresh Impetus to tba contlnuoua
shout.
The stage was next given over to a young
man with a megaphone and a flag. As he
swurg the banner from aide to aide he
shouted th name "Roosevelt." At each
awing of the flag tha name waa repeated.
It was aoon taken up by the delegates In
front, spread to those In the rear ai-d In a
twinkle the whole assemblage waa shouting
"Rooaevelt," "Roosevelt," In a measured
unison. '
Tha young man who started the cry
waa J. Henry Bmythe. Jr., of Philadelphia,
where he la prominently Identified with
amateur sports.
Tha Indiana delegation sprung umbrellas
of red, white and blue, bearing portraits
of Roosevelt and Fairbanks; the Alaskan
cages were held aloft and thousands of
flaga waved in a wild sweep of colors.
Hew York Starts March.
Tha New York delegation, occupying a
place immediately In front, started out on
a marching tour of tha hall. Meanwhile
the demonatratlon showed no signs of
spending Itself; five, six and seven minutes
It continued. There waa not the slightest
diminution In the volume of sound.
When the applause had continued almost
seven minutes It waa given a new Impetus
by Chairman Cannon, who walked once
more to the front, carrying; hla large ban
ner. A little girl, clad entirely In white,
was lifted high on tha shoulders of soma
of the California delegates, and the flrst
aound of her childish treble waa the signal
for another outburst A delegate requeated
Chairman Cannon to loan him the large
flag he had carried, and with a smile the
chairman handed it down. Around the
hall It went, followed by a long Una of
shouting delegates. California, with lta
great banner of purple, white and gold,
cam marching down tha canter aisle, and
followed by senators, members 'of congress
and .others prominent In the Ufa of tho
nation, . trooping along behind, . ahoutlng,
laughltvf and cheering. The ,Nw York
delegation, catching eight of Henry C.
Payne on tha platform, paid him a brief
and especial tribute, and then returned
onoa more to the cheerlnjr of the candi
date, shouting "Rooaevelt," "Roosevelt,"
"Rooaevelt," "New York," over and over
again. A email colored boy, James Blaine
Caalun of Georgia, with long curling hair,
hoisted upon tha platform and he
waved In frantic fashion a small national
flag. Louise Roberts, tha young girl who
had created the enthusiasm In the Cali
fornia delegation, waa next carried up,
borne high on the shoulders of a stalwart
delegate from Indiana, She created a new
furore of enthusiasm as she tossed her
flag to and fro. Little Naomi Da. Foe of
Alpena, Mich., followed for a brief period,
and when aha had wavel her flag but a
few minutes Chairman Cannon pushed to
tha front and aaylng, "Please let me In,
my dear," he 'rapped vigorously for order.
Cannoa Restores Order.
Tha applause at thia time had continued
almost exactly twenty-thre minutes. It
required fully five minutes and several more
raps by tha chairman and tha strenuous
work of numerous police and aergeants-at-ai
ma to get the delegates . one mora Into
ttelr seats.
When Chairman Cannon had Anally se
cured order the secretary read a history of
the flag which Mr. Cannon had been wav
ing. Grasping tha flag- and waving It over
his head Mr. "Cannon said:
It prophesied victory In 1160; lta Ufa has
been baptised on many a battlefield alnce
and It Is safe in the hands of President
Roossvelt
Cheers foUowed and were Increased when
Mr. Cannon recognised Senator Beveridgo
of Indiana, who he Introduced In these
words;
"Gentlemen of the Convention: I have
tha honor of Introducing to you a gentle
man whom you all know, a eon of Indiana
who when ha has a message Insists upon a
heailng, and when he speaks the people are
enlightened and enthused."
Beveridce Iteaali If oaalaatloai.
Senator .Beverldge began hla speech amid
loud applause. He said In parti
Gentlemen of tha Convention: One differ
ence between the opposition and ourselves
Is this: They select their candidate for the
people, and tha people select our candidate
for us.
This waa true four years ago when we
accepted the people's Judgment and named
William McKlnley, whose perfect mingling
of mind and heart, of wisdom and of ten
derness, won the trust and love of the na
tion then and makes almost holy his mem
ory now. His power waa In the people's
favor, his shrine is In the people's hearts
It Is true today when we again accept
the people's Judgment and name Theodore
Roosevelt whose sympathies are as wlds as
ths republlq, whose courage, honesty and
vision meet ajl emergencies, and ths sum of
whose qualltlea make him the type of twen
tieth century Americanism. And the twen
tieth century American la nothing more
than the man of "It facing a new day with
the old faith.
Of what measure of Theodore Roosevelt's
administration does the opposition dare
even to propose to repeal T And when has
the record of any president won greater
approval T
And so the people trust him aa a states
man. Better than that, they love him as a
man. He wins admiration in vain who wins
not affection also. In the American home-
that temple of happiness and virtue where
dwell the wives and mohera of the repub
lic, cherishing the iMntutlful In life and
guarding the morality of the nation In the
Amvnian iiuun in name oi J neoaore
Roosevelt Is not only honored but beloved.
And that la a greater triumph than the via
tcry of battlefields, greater credit than suo
oesaful atateamanshlp, greater honor than
the presidency tlaelf would be without It.
Life holds no reward so noble as the con
fidence and love of the American people.
Mr. Beverldge spoke with force and In
creasing enthusiasm, and Insisted his points
with a graceful gvtsture with tba right
hand. His voloe was probably the easiest
heard of any spoken which tbs convention
has yet heard.
Speech Makes a Hit.
Shouts, cheers and cat calls resounded
through tba hall wheal ths seaator sar
castically said: "No mystery was aver
elected president and never will be."
Long before he concluded his speech

the band and the flags.
It waa ahort lived, however, and order
waa aoon restored.
When the convention had expressed its
appreciation of Indlana'a second In tha
nomination. Chairman Cannon announced
that Georgo A. Knight of Colorado would
second the nomination.
The California delegation ahowed that It
waa prepared for the occasion. The old
stage coach, long drawn yell, "Wahoot"
was re-echoed through the hall and a Cali
fornia banner, followed by a huge wreath
of flowers, waa borne through the hall aa
Mr. Knight waa proceeding to the plat
form. Mr. Knight waa Introduced by Chair
man Cannon. He had a voice which
penetrated the furthest recesses of the
hall and rolled back In echoes. When he
began a voice In the far end ahouted
"Not ao loud." This was a touch which
the convention appreciated, and gave It
self up to a hearty laugh. Mr. Knight
said:
Gentlemen of the convention: Geography
has but little to do with the senti
ment and enthusiasm that la today ap
parent In favor of tha one who la to be
given all the honors and dutlea of an
elected president of the United States of
America. However, the Pacific slope and

greeting with discreet assurance that your
Judgment will be endorsed by the Ameri
can voter and our country continue ita

Our country Is big and broad and grand.
We want a president typical of the coun

enforce lta lawa, teach Americanism and
fight the wrong.
He loves the whole country and knows
no favorite section: he haa performed bis
sacred promise, he has kept the faith with
McKlnley's memory, and now faces respon
sibilities his own. He hypnotizes obsta
cles, looks them in the eye and overpowers
with self conscious honesty of purpose.
"No, no," were the shouted responses of
tha convention to Mr. Knight's declara
tion. "Socialism can have no place among
us. Anarchy cannot live In America." .
Knlsht a Phraae Maker.
Mr. Knight prored to be a phrase maker.
"Cowardice, duplicity and dishonesty are
not Impulsive," shouted Mr. Knight
"Theodore Roosevelt la Impulsive. Ha
hypnotises people."
"Wa-Ho-Oo" again sounded, aa the Cali
fornia delegation took' up tha cry amid
laughing aplause.
Mr. Knight waa surrounded by an en
thuslaatic throng as he left ths platform.
Senator Scott of West Virginia threw his
arms around him and hugged him enthusi
astically. The California delegation, with
the great gold banner and a cornet player
of uncertain abiUty, took liberties with' "A
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," and
started on a parade, but it waa aoon over,
and Chairman Cannon announced tha next
speaker aa "Mr. Still well of Georgia."
There were loud crlea of "Edwards," and
Mr. Cannon waa Informed that the name
of the speaker waa Harry Btlllwell Ed
wards. "Well," said tha chairman to the
convention, Vhls middle name Is Still
wall." He then formally introduced Mr. Edwarda
in a ahort but effective speech. Mr. Ed
warda, who la a man of alight physique, is
not sifted with a penetrating voice Ilk
that of ex-Governor Black, Senator Bev
erldge and Mr. Knight, and for thla reason
ha was unable to command the absorbing
attention that had been given to those
who spoke before him.
Mr. Edwards Talks.
Mr. Edwards' speeoh was eminently sat
isfactory, however, to thoss within range
of hla voice and he ,waa frequently Inter
rupted by applause. Mr. Edwards jiald;
It is eminently fit and' proper that a
Georgian should on this occasion second
the eloquent speaker from Now York, that
the voice of the motherland should bleni
with ths voice of the fatherland to declare
that the destinies of America shall for
four years more be entrusted to the great
son born of the union of the two empire
Coming Into the position of the martyred
McKlnley, ths youngest chief magistrate
that has ever filled the presidential rhair
without the privilege and advantage of
preliminary aiscussion ana consultation, he
gave the country a pledge that he would
carry out ths policy of his predecessor. It
waa a master stroke of genius, applauded
alike north and south. Hla conception of
the duties of his high office, as enunciated
by him at Harvard was. to serve all alike,
well; to act in a spirit of fairness and Jus
tice to ail men, and to give each man his
rights. He has kept this pledge; he had
lived up to this fine conception of his
duty. This pledge Involved a completion
of the work begun In Cuba and an honor
able discharge of the promiaes mads to
our struggling neighbor. The flag of an
Independent republio floats over Havana
today, and all men know that we have
kept faith with tbe Cuban people. Leav
ing tha details to engineers, hs has cut aa
by a single stroke the Panama canal
through mountains of prejudice and can
turiea of Ignorance. In the far Philippines
our flag floats, a guarantee of redemption,
pacification and development. Hia concep
tion of duty has led lira Into difficult
places In dealing with the Internal affairs
of our own country; he has met every
issue bravely snd ably and demonstrated
not only that prompt and deoljed action
la Oftes tbe his heat Impression of con
servatism, but that It is safe to trust ths
Impulse of a man who is essentially and
indistlnvtively honest.
