(' ELI III" KOOT fHOSEN TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1). i Yention to order and presenting the recommendations of the committee for temporary officers, found himself with l an able-bodied man's job of presiding over what seemed likely to be a tur bulent and passionate war of factions. He was not in good voice, and what he said was barely audible at the front of the platform, but the loud-voiced clerks with m-egaphones did all the necessary announcing, including his TTi&ng- on the Hadley motion. >'ot a Convention Then. this ruling was to me eueti mat tntil the national commirtee had presented the temporary roll made up from th^ credentials l'rc m the individual States and districts and its judgment upon contests, there was no convention. He held that absolutely no business was in order save the choice of te.mporary officers. He anowea zv minutes to each side to present arguments on the Hadley motion. These arguments were presented by Gov. Had!ey and ex-Go v. Fort, of New Jersey, on the Roosevelt side, and Rep resentailve sereno t. rayne, ui .\t-w York, and ex-Representative James E. Watson, of Indiana, in behalf of the Taft people. After the arguments were finished. Chairman Rosewater renewed his ruling that nothing was in order but nominations for temporary ehairman. He presented the national rommittee's recommendation of Senator Root and asked for further nomi nations. The Roosevelt men made no further pposition to this ruling, and the roll call was begun at 3:15. The name of j everv Individual delegate was cauea end it consumed three more hours, yet every step of the proceedings was heard with the keenest interest. Did Their Best. The Roosevelt men did the best they j eould; demanding the omission of the name of every one of the delegates objected to on the ground that he had been improperly seated by the national committee as set forth in the side tracked motion of Gov. Hadley, but the 1 roll call went on merrily, sometimes 1 mid deafening confusion. The shifting of the vote brought dra- * icatic sequence of emotion and of applause. Burst of cheers greeted one ] rote after another.

A Avf r?o _ tne neavj pome guaiu anu mv c.?u a-. ordinary pains of the national committee officers to guard against outbreaks of any kind, there were several remarkable things about the convention. It was deSperateiy serious . Dusmess from beginning to end. There was absolutely none of that long continued uproar, extending into long minutes, even hours, which has lately become a feature of political conventions. On [ - tut? contrary nitre uas nirtmcu icno*. i ness and an atmosphere surcharged with watchfulness. Well known leaders came into the j nail unnoticed; mere ?<is eumc absence of tributes of applause by State delegations to "favorite sons." The crowd gathered somewhat slowly and save for the music of the band there was nothing but the undertone of conversation. After Root's election, when he came up in the platform, the welcome to him lasted perhaps^30 seconds, and when he began his speech, Pennsylvania showed its bitterness towards him with jeers and caustic remarks which went far to discount the cordiality of his reception. One Real Outbreak. There was one promise of real trouble, when State Senator Flynn compelled the repetition of the call of the Pennsylvania delegates, fighting the vote of one of the alternates, who, he *'* * ? ? 1 1 ~ J J. said, was oemg caneu out ul yiupci order. The point was that the man who was called and who voted was the second 011 the list for Root, whereas the man first on the list of alternates from the district would have VUtCU iUi i?iVUU ? ci u. "If you steal that vote," shouted Flynn, "there will be no roll called j in this convention today." That was all there was to it. The chairman overruled, and the grinding voice of Secretary Gleasou went on rolling out the vote. Voornpfi Stanri Fast . ? v- ? With few exceptions, the negro del: egates from the South, about whose steadfastnes there has been much speculation, stood fast for the Taft candidate. Early in the vote William Barnes, Jr., who with Watson, of Indiana, watched out for the Taft in+ at* no t c y\n tho flnnr said thev would I tui Vll VMV MW V* J ~ ?- V> ? ^ - have 560 votes. They got two less than | that. When Senator Root began his "keynote speech," people in great numbers began to leave the hall. He announced ! then that he would suspend until all j1 those who wished to go had retired. Thousands then left; but nearly all 1 the delegates remained and listened to ! the speech. Even those who had most ' bitterly fought his election heard him j :o the end. When Senator Root finished, amid! < Long continued applause, pursuant to j < in agreement between leaders of the j factions, the whole business of ap- j pointing committees and other pro-; feedings naturally belonging to toiay's work went over until tomorrow. j Only the national committee's rec- i, jmmendations tor temporary omcers . )f the convention was adopted without jJ iiscussion. Mr. Watson moved the jsual procedure .for the appointment; }f committees, Gov.
