"Despite all their investigations,"

ROARING TRiBUTE
IS 6IVEN WiLSOM
'ORTRAIT OF THE PRESIDENT
PROVOKES WILDEST SORT
OF DEMONSTRATION.
TUMULT REIGNS A HALF HOUR
First Notes of "The St ar-Spangled
Banner Brought Great Convention
To Its Feet In Tribute.
Pan Francisco, dune 2S. From the
shadow of the Golden Gate tne host
of democracy sent a roaring tnou'e
across the country to Pre.-. aunt Wil
son. The national convention flung asidr
fur tue moment tiie business before
it. while delegates carried on a dem
onstration that swept the great gath
ering off its feet. It was a half hour
hef re the outburst evoked by a
sudden display of the President's por
trait could be stilled. Again and
acain as his name was mentioned tin?
cheers broke out anew to culminate In
the shout of approval that adop'eil
and sent to the White House a strik
ing testimonial of his party and
pride in the man who has led it
through troublesome years.
Arrangements for the first na
tional political convention to be held
in the far west had been well made.
The great hall. Its clean architectural
lines almost unniarred by added dec
orations, was ready, and through a
d ten wide entries there, thousands
poured in with little delay or conges
tion. They found a wide octagon
space nwaiting them, with a mas
sive organ rearing its stockade cf
pipes above the platform and the
other sides rising to a far line of
seats under high windows framing
squares of California's b!iiet skies.
In the center of the hnll where del
egates sat railed within a wide sauaro
of seats, an inner ceiling was suspend
ed, colored in soft, old blue, thai,
rested the eye and lent something of
quiet dignity to the scene.
Peb(w a forest of standards hca:--Ing
the names of states and territo
ries was the only reminder of national
conventions of the past.
Perilled high beside thr organ in a
special gallery, a military hand whiled
away the time.
Opening Time Approaches.
As the noon hour and the openm;,
time approached, a color guard of ma
rines appeared on the platform. A
six-foot sergeant, with the gleaming
i folds of a regimental flag in his his
, hand made a vivid spot of color on
the platform. At his side stood th-'
armed nou-c 'mniissioned officers cf
the color guard and with them two
marine buglers,
When Vice Chairman Kremer, of
I the national committee, gave the tix
I nal, a bugler sounded "attention;"
the sharp, staccato tall rang out over
the uproar of conversation. The first
notes of "The Star Spangled Hatiner"
rang out from tho band and the or
gan together, and as delegates, alter
j nates, spectators and attendants
' stood in tribute, a monster flag dron
i ped from the ceiling to form a wall
of color behind tho platform. It oh
i scared the view of the band and nr
i gan loft, but as it feil the booming
! tones of the organ rose from behind
! it, Joining the majestic thunder in
, the national anthem.
I Then came the touch that set the
j convention off with a wild shout of
I exultation. The great flag was gath
i ered slowly upward in the slings and
as it rose, it uncovered a flag draped
j and illumined portrait of President
j Wilson placed ugainst tho high pipes
I of the organ. For a moment there
was a brief pause. Then came the
tumult.
I A wild shout rang down from the
j floor. It was caught up and echoed
J from side to side. Rising with hys
terical force, the sound grew and
1 grew, a formless, tonelnns thing that,
j had In It something that stirred thu
! blood and pulled at the emotions. Dei
1 egates leaped on their chairs, waving
j and shouting. They stampeded into
! the aisles, jostling and cheering in
j a packed mass before the platform.
I Over in the Virginia section a del
j egate ripped the standard from th-
loop and charged toward the speaker's
I stand waving it high in the air. Other
states followed. Some of them were
slower to get in motion, but as thi
shouting and tumult continued, stand
ard after standard came up and
the march around the hall began. In
the New York section. Assistant Sec
retary of tho Navy Roosevelt seized
the standard and rushed Into tho
crowded aisle battling with others
who sought with eager hands to up
hold the sign.

Actual Convention Work on First

ers were prepared for a fight over

Tiled for its opening session. The ac
