WILD OUTBURST FOR ROOSEVELT!
COLISEUM, CHICAGO. June 17— When Permanent
Chairman Lodge mentioned the name of Roosevelt in his
speech this afternoon there was a great cheer, and when he
called him the "much abused but most popular president" there
was another wild ovation".
The delegates from' Nevada and others leaped to their feel
and yelled at the top of,their voices. The enthusiasm swept
over the whole convention.
It was noticed, however, that the Ohio delegates did not
take pal in the demonstration.
Senator Bourne, of Oregon, "second elective term" boomer,
was among the leaders in the ovation. ■ ■ ,
Mrs. Alice Koosevclt Longworth covered her fate with
her hands during the great demonstration in honor of her
father. She seemed to be unable to control her feelings. ..,*
N. H. Fairbanks, of Springfield, 0., brother of the vice
president, stood on a chair In a special balcony and led the
cheering in his vicinity.
When Charles P. Tift, brother of the secretary of war,
was asked what was ths significance of the demonstration, he

dered the band to play "Carry Owen." The crowd, knowing
that it was the president's favorite tune, went into still wilder
demonstrations and the noise increased.
? The crowd then began yelling:
i "Four years more- four, four, four years more."
Lodge smiled. Then some one pointed out the president's
daughter. The crowd -turned toward her. Alice took the
greatest care not to do anything that would lend support to
the demonstration She smiled, then hid her face again in
her hands. It was evident she was in a difficult position.

cheering. ... "....
Two Oklahoma delegates engaged in a personal fight over
the possession of the bear, and in the excitement exchanged*
several blows before they were parted.
Manager Frank H. Hitchcock, of the Taft forces, wat not
perturbed by the demonstration. He was smiling as he walk
ed across the hall and went up to the Ohio section, where ha
shook hands with Charles P. Taft, brother of the secretary.
This he did with an air of perfect ease, but there were soma
who thought it was a sign of fear that he should consider it
necessary to make such a noticeable public display of confi
dence.
The time of the ovation was carefully kept, and it lasted
exactly 49 minutes, according to several "time keepers" appoint
ed in the press section.
During the ovation flags were waved, canes were pound-.
Ed on the floor, old men and young men leaped up and down
in the aisles. An Oklahoma delegate took off hit coat and
