Th6 great audi- torlum tjoined in the rolling, throbbing motes of the national anthem. Then, ns the singing was concluded, the flag was rolled up again, disclosing an immense portrait of President Wil- son.. It was the signal for an outburst of checring and continued applause, the delegates standing on chairs, waving flags, shouting and applauding. Cheers, rebel yells and shouts cut the air of the big hall ns the band whooped up \Hail to the chief.\ When the dem- onstration had been rolling for live min- utes, Vice. Chairman Kremer made an attempt fo bring the convention'to order and go ahend with business, but the dele- gates would have none of it The ap- plause and cheery kept on coming in rolling waves, and the repeated rappin of the guyel was only, answered. wi cries of \sit down'* and hurrahs for Wil- son, Standards were pulled up from the places marking the delegations on the floor, .and the demonstrationists began There were a ._ organizing n procession about the aisles such as always takes place in a conven- tion hall when .a candidate is being placed in. nomination, . 'The whooping, roaring delegates parading on the floor drowned ont the band at times, While the demon- stration was nt its height, Franklin D Roosevelt. assistant | seerctary of _ the mavs, picked up the standard of the New Xork delegntion and got into the Wilson parade.. Other members of the delefintlon objected, nndp there was n seramble in which a policeman took the part of the delegates who tried to stop | Ragsevelt, There was a lively, seramble for a moment in pwhich Roosevelt.won out and went off - with \the - atundard, | joiniug . the demonstration. Fists flew thick and fast for the moment, and it looked as if somebody was going fo be huxt. As it turned out, nothing was nothing. « At 12.45 o'clock the demonstration be- 'gan dying away and the vice chairman gave the orders to the sergeant-nt-arms to cleur the nésles. , Mr. Kremer finally succeeded in mak- Ing 'himsell heard. and Monsignor Ryan, vieap gencral of San Francisco, offered a priyer. . - On motion of Fred B.

When Chairman Cymnings in his re- view of Democratic accomplishments in winning the war referred to the lender ship of President Wilson, the mucience 'went into another demonstration, despite his\ efforts to stop it. | Repentedly ‘Mr. Cummings signalled to his audience not to interrupt with applause and cheers, but the delegates persisted. When he referred to the accomplish@ +and inspired | leadership | of Woodrow Wilson the convention went off into an- other tumult of cheering in which it was helped. along by the band, When Mr, Cummings was discussing the League of Nations: and 'its relation to oppressed peoples, a woman in the back of the hall arose and shouted: \There is British tyranny in Ireland today.\ ® Somebody euggested putting her out, but others discouraged the flea and the woman sat down and did not interrupt further.

The impression 1s rapidly gaining ground that 'the, contest for. the presi- deney, which will not dngage the ntten- tion of the convention itself until Wed- nesday: or Thursday, will, not be unlike pf that of the Republican cqnvention at Chiengo three weeks ago in that , Mr. MeAdoo, Mr. Palmer and Governor Cox, the leading aspirants,, may succeed in killing each' other off and open the way for the production of a eafididate who has yet to be seriously considercd.

It required 17 min- utes for the emotions of the delegates and the gallery to run down. 0 ,_ Wild Cheers For Wilson. You would have thought from the at- tendant scenes that Mr. Wilson had been nominated for the presidency again, because,most of the events that reflected the intense admiration of the delegates was of the sort that usually follows the présentation of the name of n \favorite son\ or marks his triutoph in <the ballot, ing. Standards were dragged out of their places at the seat of the chairman of each glelcgatgon 'and carried around. the hall in an intricate maze of confusion: Ooe after another the standards fell into line until the only ones that remained in their proper {aces were at the bead df the New York, the Néw Jersey, the Connecticut and the Minnesota delegates. Deep -. throated demands from the theering delegations 'from other stafés that the recalcitzants take their places in paying tribute to the\ President of the United States and leader of the Demo- cratic party | finally moved < Assistant Secretary of the naty Franklin D. ses velt to wrest the New York standard from its place and Gaunt it high in the gir. Three or four delegates from New York who had awaited the signal from Tammany Boss Murphy to join in the flemonstration. gave Mr. Roosevelt a good tatured fight for. the possession. of the New York trophy and for. a few minutes it seemed to the nnitiated that a fist fight was imminent. Murphy viewed the im- promptu sfroggle with a grin of amuse ment which caused the defenders of the wigwar sigh to let Mr. Roosevelt gct axar with it. R Thereupon the battle and. parade of the standard soon ended in a manner; wholly gratifying to the supporters and sympathizers 'of the President who shrieked themselves hoarse Caring the en- tire demonstration.
