of them -were Senators L*odg;« and TV. Murray

to the right Senators Cullom and Hopkins, with
Governor Deneen of Illinois. Mayor Busse of
Chicago and the Cannon forces, and to th« left
Senators Beveridge and H«»menway. Governor
Hanly. George Ade and tiie Fairbanks forces.
It was truly a gathering of the giants of the
Party, and every group had its figure conspicu
ous in national affairs.
OHIO DELEGATION ARRIVES.
Just as the opening hour arrived th« Ohio dele
cation swung down the middle aisle bearing
aloft the blue silken banner with the portrait
of Ohio's candidate.
*" raft « Taft!" went up from a thousand throats
as the v.-ell known face of the Secretary-candi
date was borne to the front. Cheer after chesr
echoed from floor to gallery and back again.
and for a time Chairman Mew v.as unable to
proceed with the opening formalities. Again
"Wisconsin stirred The echoes with a r*>al rol!p.e«
yell, which resounded rough the building and
exploded with a. final "Rah-rah-rah-TVisconsin!"
closing it all -with the cry of "La Folleue"-
It was not until 12:18 o'clock that Chairman
Hew stilled the tumult and with brief formali
ties introduced the temporary presiding officer
of the convention, Senator Burrows, of Mich
igan. Th* venerable Senator stepped forward
with a ponderous roll of manuscript in his hand.
EBowtf 1 the buzz of confusion died away and be
began to speak. His first words were barely
audible five feet away. Gradually he warmed to
his subject, for he told of the glories of th» party
He had served so lone, and the well rounded sen
tences carried to th* remotest corners, ham
mered in here and there by an expressive gest-
Dye
But It wan Tint a. *p«>»c.h calculated to sot th«
blood tinglinc. ft d*»alt with The party's r*<*
ord and achievement. Not until the Senator
made the first mention of President Roosevelt
d'd th« "words peern to start the assemblage as
by a magic thrilL Instantly the speech was
drowned In a great shout which went up from
every side as delegates sprang to their feet,
waved their hats, echoing back the tumult of the
galleries, where fluttering handkerchiefs, fans
and parasols broke Into moving color and th*
whole assemblage joined in vc -If extras demon
stration. For a moment it seemed as though
one of those record breaking uproars of the day*
of Elaine and McKinley would sweep the con
vention from its moorings. But the first out
burst spent itself within a minute; gradually it
subsided until calm came again, and soon the
orator was. proceeding -with th* record of the
party's achievements.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM FOR PRESIDENT.
Every succeeding mention of th» President's
name brought another wave of enthusiastic
tribute. The names of Taft and of Root also
sent the cheers ringing from gallery to gal
lery- But those whirlwinds of noisy demon
stration which have fairly carried some «<n
ventiens off their feet did not occur. Aside
from the names cf popular idols, the- speaker's
•words awakened a- stir of enthusiasm for the
navy, "the mar behind the gun." the con
tinued occupation of the Philippines, and a
tariff revision which -would give "just and ade
quate protection to American industry." These
policies appeared to appeal strongly to th*
gathering, but th» greatest enthusiasm en a.
question of policy came -when he delivered his
fervid apotheosis to the American judiciary as
the great conservative bulwark of the country
The formal proceedings of the convention gave
th*» spectators an opportunity to see three of
the conspicuous actors on the — Sereno E.
Payne, who moved that the rules of the last
convention prevail until new rules be pre
sented; Senator Long, of Kansas, who pre
sented the customary resolution for the ap- :
pointment of committees on resolutions, creden
tials, permanent organization and rules and
order of business, and Senator Lodge, who cut
short " in* 5 monotonous droning of names of
rommitt^s by having the lists turned in to the.
s^rr^Tary ivjthpm r^adin-. Tner»* was only
one hitch, and that momentary, when Senator
Burrow* announced that Louisiana had pre
sent o<i rwo disiinrt ----- of officers for its statr
d^l«=-gation. He speedily explained that this
difficulty ...: been adjusted by an afrreomfnt
wh^r^bv n« member from Louisiana would b«
rpprpppntod on any of thr ronunitt«»«"p of the
convention Congressman Burke, of Pittsburg
took oarly or-ra.^ion to get before the commit

Tin doors of th<r cavernous rnnv^ntinn hall

to fllfr in. High up in th<p girders of th<> grr-Ht

Representative Boutell, nf Illinois, were the first

prVpared to take up his responsible duties, was
Ash»-r Hind?, th* 1 parliamentarian of the House
of aepresentatives. They were quickly followed
by other officials of the convention and promi

When th» newspaper rorrespondenta reached
th^ir seats and surveyed the -facilities" pro
vided for their wot* they were Indignant and
exasperated. A storm of osnsuw and criticism
was at once dir« ted at Chalrmai New of the
national committee, who supervised all the press
arrangements. Th« aisles between the rows of
feats were too narrow to permit of passage and
a umuimiHiiiit at the far end " ' th* rmv was
hopelessly Imprisoned Efts only method of
rz-r**? wa* to literally walk along the flimsy
desk upon which other men were attempting to
wri?e. Elbow room was at a premium, and It
is well within the confine* of truth to say that
for overcrowding, downright discomfort and gen
eral lack of adaptability to th* purposes for
which they were supposed to he designed the
press arrangements of ii ■■ Republican National
Convention of IJ*'»S .- ia«wed anything sren at
a Mrnilar gathering In many years.
Not only were the press arrangements unft to
a jjimc. but a multitude of eergeants-at-arm?,
the friends of officials or. the committee on ar
ratigerr.ent*. stood at the end of almost every
row of newspaper seats, occupying space to no

national committee had placed perious and un
necessary obstacles.
VISITORS AHEAD OF DEIJEGATES-
Tbe visitors' sections filled more rapidly than
the. floor, but the balcony crowds were slow in
recognizing the more prominent men among the
stream of arrivals, although now and then a
bit of spontaneous handclapping denoted the
enthusiasm of some appreciative spectator.
Fifteen minutes before the hour set for call
ing the convention to order the delegate sec-
Tir.p«= -were not half filled, but the music of
marching bands In the street poured Into the
hall and the parading hosts' were at hand.
Fairly overwhelming the large and efficient
corps of doorkeepers and ushers, the delegates
from a score of states crowded Into their places.
The notable guests on the speakers' platform
were slow in arriving. The first to appear were
thr- French Ambassador and Mint Jusserand.
who soon were followed by other members of
the diplomatic corps, to whom President Roose
\ -It had allotted twenty-five seats. Mrs. Nicho
las Longworth and Mrs. Timothy I>. Woodruff
also occupied rnnspictiouß plares on the plat
form.
it was nearly 1C o'clock when the British Am
bassador. with Mrs. Bryce, reached the hall.
Both he and the French Ambassador and their
v Ives were the recipients of much attention.
Conspicuous amonp the diplomats was Minister
Wu Ting-fang of <'hina.
Among the other distingnnshed persons on the
t'l*tf<irni were Mr. and Mrs. El H. Gary, of Npw
Fork: "Pm," Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms of tiie
Senate: .Mrs. Frank O. Lowden, the Right Rev.
P .1 Muldoon, auxiliary Bishop of Chicago:
.Mrs Julius C. Burrows. Mrs. Medill McCnr
mick, of Chicago; the Rev. r> r . and Mrs. John
Wesley Hill, of Chicago; Dr. Albert Shaw,
M Shaw, formerly Secretary of the
Treasury; Mr. and Mrs. I>onald McLane, of
Yi-rk. and Dr. Benjamin Ide v\"7ie<-;<= r . of
<"alifr>rnia .
A p"!<i banner of California, heavy with gilt
fringe ami tassels, was carried at the head of
th« dek-pation and was greeted with applause as
th< delegation arrived, just before the noon hour.
It \*aic the finest banner on display at the con
vention.
The ever ready band in its lofty balcony, and
all but hidden behind the outstretched wings of
an immense bronze eagle, played vigorously
throughout the preliminaries, and when at a
lOl OS £ for a new selection simply repeated "The
Star Spangled Banner" to an appreciative audi
*>nc<*. Th<=- patriotic anthem was always sure of
a demonstratii'e welcome. A barytone singer
with a powerful voice sang "Tlpperary." to the
delight of the assembled crowd.
The rxrhanire of badges had been so general
during the last two days that pome of the mem
here of the convention seemed decorated with
the ribbons and medal* of nearly every state in
the Union.
DCL.AT IN' OPENING CONVENTION.
At 12 o'clock^ the hour get for the opening- of
the convention, there was no indication that it
would re called to order for some time. Chair
man. New was not seen on the platform, and sev
eral "' 'he leading delegations were r*»prpsontorl
only in meagre fashion.
At 12:05 o'clock Dergeant-at-Arms Btom gave
v , nt for the first time to the cry po often heard
in all conventions. He caOM to the front of the
speakers' rostrum, calling out: "Clear the aisles!

about to be taken, and urged that all remain
quietly In their seats, as there would be no dan
ger to any one. He indicated the point of the
convention hall at which the camera was situ
ated, and as It was In the rear of the hall the
delegates made a scramble to get into the pict
ure with their faces Instead of their backs
CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER.
Chairman New then spoke as follows:
The hour has arrived lor the representatives of
the Republican party to meet in its fourteenth na
tional convention at the end of almost twelve con
secutive years of the most brilliant administration
in the history of the world. There are those pres
ent in this edifice to-day who participated in the
party's first convention, and the accomplishments of
that party within so brief a span as the life of men
vet living are almost beyond belief. "We are here
in assert our pride in what has "been done, to ap
prove the achievements of the past, and more
especially to commend and indorse the administra
tion of Theodore Roosevelt and those policies which
under his splendid administration have become
known to the people of this land as the policies of
tho "square deal
Mr. Xew's mention of ths name of President
Roofeevelt was greeted with an outburst of
cheers which, however, continued only for a few
seconds.
Mr. New Introduced Bi?hop Muldoon. -whose
prayer follows:
In the name of the Father and of the Son and
the Holy Ghost:
Almighty and eternal God, we humbly beseech
Thee mercifully to give ear to the. prayers here
offered by Thy sen-ants in behalf of the whole
nation. We humbly implore Thee to bless, to
guide and to direct the deliberations of this con
vention for the greater peace, security and hap
piness of the whole people. We offer these
prayers to the glory of Thy name and for our own
good. Grant to us all peace, and patriotism
through Jesus Christ, our I^ord. who taught us
to pray to Thee, saying, our Father who art Ir.
heaven, hallowed by Thy name. Thy kinßdom
come. Thy will be done on earth as It Is In
heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us, and lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. In
the name of the Father and of the Son and the
Holy Ghost. Amen.
SECRETARY BALLOT APPLAUDED.
Following a second announcement by the
chairman. Secretary Malloy again advanced to
the front and read the call for the convention.
As he finished he was greeted with applause,
more for the manner In which he had delivered
his message to the convention than for any in
terest excited by the document itself.
Chairman ' New announced that the national
committee had recommended Senator J. C. Bur
rows, of Michigan, for temporary chairman. A
cheer came from the Michigan delegation, in th«
midst of which Chairman New recognized Rep
resentative M. E Olmsted, of Pennsylvania, who
moved that the recommendation of the commit
tee be adopted John W. Blodgett. chairman of
the Michigan delegation, seconded the motion,
and it was unanimously adopted
Senator Burrows was warmly received as he
stepped to the front of the platform extension
arranged for the speakers He bowed his ac
knowledgments and began his keynote address
at Just 12. p. m. [Senator Burrow's speech will
he found on page 4]. Hi? opening words were
spoken in a modulated but distinct tone. He
constantly referred to the printed copy of bis
speech. He had been speaking about six min
utes when he came to •>,•■ first mention of Presi
dent Roosevelt .
Senator Burrows evidently fell just a little ex
cited over the mention of tho President, foi he
had some little difficulty in pronouncing the
well known name. Up was referrtns to the
convention of four years ago, "when," he paid.
"invoking a continuance of public favor, th<
party placed in nomination for ih. office of
Pr>-faifie!ii of the United States Theodore -Belt—

The Senator stopped, mumbled for ■ moment

the delegates jumped on chairs and waved their
hats, calling on others to do likewise. North
Carolina. Texas, West Virginia and Alabama
led the cheering, while the applause was general
on the floor and in the balcony. The cheering
lasted nearly two minutes. Senator Burrows, in,
resuming, mentioned Mr. Fairbanks name, and
there was a round of applause. The name of
Abraham Lincoln was received with genera!, but
brief, handclapping.
Senator Crane moved about on the convention
floor while the temporary chairman was speak
ing He visited several delegations frequently,
but went more often to the sections occupied by
the Indiana, Pennsylvania and Illinois de'ieca
tions.
Senator Borrows ie not a rapid-fire talkc

and a few spectators at odd moments filtered
through the doorways to the street
Pome of the latter portions of the -•
omitted, and the Senator covered the secoi
of the address In much less time than he had
delivered the early portion.
When the applause and music following the
close of the temporary chairman's address had
subsided the list of temporary officers recom
mended by the committee was read to the con
vention by Lafayette B. Gleason, of New Tork,
chief assistant secretary. An old-fashioned
"rebel yell" from Kentucky greeted the mention
of an appointee from that state.
TEMPORART ORGANIZATION APPR'»VKT>.
On motion of Charles H. Clark, of Connect!

Senator Chester I. Long, of Kansas, proentrd j
