ALLEN MAKES STIRRING PLEA FORGENAVOOD Demonstration, Lasting 39 Minutes, Marks Close of His Nomination. FLAGS FEATURE SCENE COLISEUM, Chicago, June 11 Gen. Leonard Wood was the first of the presidential aspirants to be "placed in nomination by the reput> | lican convention. A wild demonstration, lasting thir-ty-nine minutes, marked the close of Gov. Henry J s nominating addrpss. ALI EN VIGOROUS IN HIS SPEECH When Gov, Allen came forward to nominate Wood there was one yell of applause- then there was a general call for silence, and Allen swung into bis address. Alien presented Wood's ease like a man engaged In a vigorous argument with an invisible opponent. There was enthusiasm in his every gesture and he cut right- into the ep plause. not waiting for It to subside, in his eagerness to tell the delegates why Wood Bhould be the republican nominee, Allen held his glasses in his right hand, hi* manuscript in his left and gesticulated with both. The first mention of Gefi. Wood's name 1 passed almost unnoticed la the text of a letter praising him. It was mentioned by Allen twice more In th next minute and each time there was a burst of applause, each a little louder than the one''before. Aa Allen read Roosevelt's praise of Hood, cheering hrok out and continued until he motioned for silence The cheering seemed to be generally distributed among all the delegates, hut it did not involve all of them by any means Many sat silent. Perspiration streamed down Allen's face, his voice grew husky, but he waxed more enthusiastic as he talked. “Some object to btm-beeanse of his uniform." he said. "Ah- ! When did the uniform become an emblem of disqualification In this country?" Cries of “good 1" and a long nasal blast en a tin horn resulted when Allen defended Wood against those who call him a militarist.

CITES WOOD’S WORK IN GARY STRIKE. Wood. Allen said, dominated the troubled labor situation at Gary, Indians. with Justice and "brought back to men tbelr faith In goverEmenU As Allen rstncludod. demanding the nomination of Wood,-a mighty ell went up. Showers of many colorod Wood "festh ers fluttered down from th* roof In a veritable storm. Evidently baskets of them had been concealed In the girders. During the excitement, Frank Hitchcock, one of the Wood managers, appeared on platform He carried i blue feather. He was nervous and constantly licked bis lips ns he paced back and forth During the Wood demonstration many de’egate* from Arizona and New Mexico w>*re on their feet. The Kansas delegation was doing much of the cheering The, Wood boosters kept the ovntlon going, chanting in unison. "Wood, Wood, Wood,” when it showed signs of los'ng : any of Its strength. ! The band began playing. | Only an occasional note eonld be heard. Shrill whistles cut through the roar of cheery The galleries took little part In the demonstration oayond blowing the horns. LOWDEN ROOSTERS GET BUSY While the demonstration was at its height Lowden workers slipped through the erwod. distributing pennants bearing Lowden's pieture in preparation for the Lowden ovation. A Wood procession started around the hall chnntlng “Wood, Wood, Wood.” At this juncture Lodge hammered for order. He didn’t get it and went back to his seat. Miss Foaseen of Minnesota was the one woman In the procession when It started. South Dakota's standard was Jerked from lta post and carried into the procession. The Kansas standard came next., nnd former Lieut Gov, Morgan carried It. At 10:49 Lgdge again pounded for order. Ills reply was a renewal of the Wood chant. The New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut. Arkansas, Massachusetts. lowa, Illinois and other delegations which were not much excited about the proceedings. remained stolidly seated, many of the delegates with bored expressions glancing at their watches. Chairman Lodge sot at his desk with a resigned look, waiting patiently for the noise to cease, his repeated efforts to get some attention having failed. LOWDEN BACKERS GET CHANCE TO CHEER. The Oklahoma delegation staged a little circus of its own. \A pretty girl In a pink dress appeared among the Oklahoma delegates and mounted a chair, waving a Lowden lithograph and shouting. Illinois and lowa delegates applauded her and shouted encouragement, almost drowning out for the moment the dwindling Wood cheers. At 11:11 a. m., after it had continued thirty nine minutes, the Wood demonstration ended. Chairman Lodge then asked for seconds to the Wood nomination. Ho announced each seconding speech would be limited to five minutes each Delegate Knox of New Hampshire took ihe rostrum and began a seconding speech for Woodr* Knox said that, speaking In behalf of the. people of New Hampshire, be desired to second Wood’s nomination because he was the greatest living son of that state. Another seconding speech was made by Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, New York, sister of Theodore Roosevelt. It was the first time a woman had made a seconding speech In a national convention. She was received with generous applause. She said she supported Wood, not because he was a friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt, but because he Is of the Roosevelt type. Wood and Roosevelt have great characteristics in common, she declared. (Continued, on Pace Fifteen.)

Lowden before the convention as a candidate | for the nomination for the psesidenev When Congressman Rodenburg be-ran hi, speech nominating Lowden the Arkansas delegation displayed photograph* of the Illinois governor. There was so much confusion Lodge bad to heat for order before Rodenburg could speak. Rodenburg, a tall. heavy-set’ man, spoke In a calm, dispassionate fashion, his fleger tips pressed together.

He rose to his tiptoe* when he voiced the prase of Lowden. raising his clenched fists “on high” to pray that "God nil! speed the day when a better and a braver pilot will he placed at the I nation's helm."

Practically every delegate In the ball was mixed up la some wit in the demonstration. either as a spectator, stardIng on a chair, or shouldering along In the procession. , As the> inarched, the Lowden men were busy rccrlutlng. "Kirs' ballot.' First hallot!” they yelled in the ear* of otbr delegate* whom they encountered along the way. The Lowden demonstration had been In progress nineteen minutes at noon. The noise had diminished slightly, but there was no Indication that the Lowden people were through with their celebration. The galleries were on their feet in greater number than during the Wood ovation. An old man was carried along on the shoulder* of delegates in the procession. He had his eyes closed, his mouth wide open and was leaning far back yelling at the topi of his lungs, meanwhile flourishing a Lowden picture In each hand. Congressman Sjfmp, Virginia, and National Committeeman Warren of Michigan, at the height of the Lowden demonstration. declared the governor would be nominated before the day was over. “Nothing to It, but Lowden," said Slemp BEVERIDGE TAKES G.

Mrs. Robinson, Sister of Roosevelt, Sways Convention With Her Oratory By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. COLISEUM, Chicago, June 11. —The snappiest, sharpest drawn speech of the forenoon was that of Mrs. Douglas Robinson of New York, sister of the late Theodore Roosevelt. It was like a cameo. It brought the convention to its feet as no other oratorical endeavor

had done. Delivered slowly, with perfect assurance, It was heard In the far corners of the hall. tt was reminiscent of her great brother. Dressed simply In black, Mrs. Robinson at once made a great appeal to the delegates. When she spoke as the representative of the great republican leader, whose name had been repeatedly cheered, the delegates s6emed to throb/with emotion.

DEMONSTRATIONS HAVE NO EFFECT ON UNINSTRUCTED Johnson’s Forces Get Cold Reception From Old Guard as Convention Tires of Noise . NOW WAITING TO BEGIN BALLOTING By STAFF CORRESPONDENT, COLISEUM, Chicago, .Tune 11.—Demonstrations for the three leading candidates, Wood, Lowden and Johnson, failed today to uncover any trend on the part of the uninstructed delegates, so necessary to the nomination of a republican candidate for president. Wood’s demonstration was a noisy and enthusiastic one, Lowden’s was Its equal Ist not its better, but Johnson’s friends found the convention weary of noise and bad difficulty, not only in presenting the senator’s name, but in showing a friendly feeling for him. At the conclusion of the presentation of the three names the republican party was little, if any, nearer a selection The Wood demonstration, planned to take place immediately following his nomination by Gov. Allen of Kansas lasted intermittently for thirty-nine minutes and was participated in by approximately 300 delegates. It made no great impression on the 500 uninstructed delegates and In conclusion emphasized the fact that Wood requires 193 more delegates than, he now has to win the nomination. Chairman Lodge laconically remarked while the demonstration was on that “no man knows who will win this great race ’* Following the Wood demonstration the delegates settled down, somewhat exhausted, to hear \\ A. Rodenberg of St. Louis place Gov. Frank O. Lowden in nomination without having given a single indication of any Intention to turn to Wood. At the conclusion of Rodenburg's speech the Lowden demonstration got under way slowly As the Wood m°n had displayed feathers, the Lowden boosters brought forth lithographs. The demonstration was not otherwise dissimilar from that given Wood. The Lowden demonstration lasted approximately forty-two minutes. W hile it was at its height there was a coo! conference in the rear of the hall between Senators Smott, Borah and others with indications that there was some trading being done. At the conclusion of the Lowden demonstration Charles S. Wheeler of San Francisco began his speech placing Hiram Johnson in nomination.

A dramatic effort to put ’he name of Hiram Johnson squarely before the re publican national c>nventlon made by Charles S. Wheeler of California met with such resistance this afternoon that the chairman was called upon to admonish the delegates, and Wheeler -him self, his blood up, demanded that his auditors "uncork their unwilling and prejudiced ears" to hear the "truth about a man who can win In November** Wheeler s address ended at 1:12 and a demonstration started it was unify, hut not *<> clearly prearranged as had been the preceding demonstrations for Wood and Lowden. Wheeler was inad clear through when delegate* had Interrupted his speech. Acting <*halrmau Beveridge had once characterized these as "most Impolite.” When Wheeler shouted that the bosses must be ‘scourged from the temple,*' there were "booes.” The California delegation started the march of the demonstrators around the big hall. They bore slogan rriptetl in box car letters, conveying the Idea that "Johnson is a winner." , Big American flags were also used 6y the marchers with dramatic effect “Johnson and Victory.” "The People Want Johnson.’’ “Hiram Johnson a Sn:e Winner" and "Win With Johnson" were some of the inscriptions. BORAH SILENT OX TIIE PLATFORM. Borah sat on the platform a silent witness of the demonstration. It was believed he might Jump into the flght with a seconding speech. A report in the convention hall was that Borah would not make a seconding-speech because he did no; want to be limited to a five-minute rule. Johnson rooters were wildly enthusiastic and their battle cry was “Hiram. Hiram. We Want Hiratu," and this great note mado the hall ring. Hiram Johnson. Jr., with a big flag in hand, paraded at the head of a crowd of enthusiasts. Maybe it was because the delegates had been tired out by the great Wood and Lowden demonstrations of the forenoon hut the fnct Is that the Johnson demonstration did not assume the- same wild end unrestrained proportions that characterized its predecessors However, the Johnson shelters wore ts loud voice and gay heart apparently and they kept the show up with a good v 111. From the press stand It looked as If more than a ( third of the delegates were in a march around the hall twenty minute* after the parade had begun. REFERENCE TO •BIG MONEY” JEERED. When Wheeler predicted the nomination of Johnson would assure victory there was but scattered applause, but when he said that Johnson had won great victories without big financial backing there was a chorus of laughter, booes and hisses. \ Wheeler was forced to stop in bis speech to wait for quiet, and several spectators called to him from the gallery. It was the first evidence of display toward any single candidate’s name by the delegates on the floor. The crowd renewed its calls and laughter and Wheeler was again forced to cease speaking. Beverldgfe was compelled to intercede. He urged the delegates to be quiet, saying he hoped he would not have to use the gavel again. There was more laughter at this. “The present speaker takes these Interruptions with good humor." Wheeler smiled when order was restored nnd his

The Wheeler speech was an obvlou* disappointment to thy California delegation ati-1 to the Johnson supporter* In the galleries. The sp'-sker adopted a somewhat singsong tone.

The result v ts a ware of resflesxnes* which s.vej.t the hall and a gradully mounting murmur nnd buzz of conversation which further reduced the effectiveness of the speaker's efforts.

There were cheers when Wheeler announced he wjs nearing the close and deviating from the lent of his address, ha 1 leaned over the rail and soaking his list down at the crowd, he .boated: “Yes. hear! Ur;o:k your prejudiced cars. n:,d hear, for the first time in yoni Uvea, what this man slam's for." There was a sea floral cheer from (ha ga'lery, but from the place v wre cat fhs : men with the nomine.Ling vote, but silence. REFERENCE TO BOSSES ALSO BOOED. “The time has come *o drive *he bosses from this temple of republicanism,” aald Wheeler. Hoofs and jeers from, the delegatee were the floor's response. Wheeler concluded at 1:16 and the California delegation leaped to its feot with great American flags to start the demon- | stration. They began a procession around the room, shouting “Illram” through megaphones. The Michigan delegation also was up waving flags. The Johnsonltes produced dozens of large American flags and signs bearing Johnson slogans and pictures. From the center gallery tin enormous picture of Johnson was unfurled. It wns obvious, however, before the demonstration had been lone, loyal Cnllfornianle could not atone for the deadly dampening effects of the nominating speeches. The volume of the cheering did not eomrare with the noise that greeted the names of Lowden and Wood, and the great mjority of the delegates stood in the aisleß and conversed or mounted their chairs to see what was going on. The California persisted in an effort to recruit d°legates from other states to their parade with little success. The Californians shouted "Hiram, we want Hiram ” and urged other vocalists to Join In the refrain, but with 111-suc-cess

The surprise of the demonstration was the comparative apathy cf the galleries. Johnson has had strong newspaper support In Chicago and it was expected that, regardless of the attitude of the delegates, the galleries would accord him r spectacular greeting. MAYBE TT WAS HOT WEATHER. It speedily became evident, however, that the weather and the humidity, or some other phenomena more closely related to politics was having a bearish effect and the galleries were decidedly slow In taking up the work of the demonstration. At one point In the cheering a woman clad In a black lace gown and seated directly behind the press section seized a large American flag that draped thi balcony and hanging high over the rail, waved it frantically In the faces of those below and shouted for Johnson.
