As there was no attempt to stop the noise and get back to work the 'demonstration for Coz continued.

It was a spontaneous demonstration. Chairman Walsh calmyly sat down fend had a conversation with some associates and let the band go ahead and the Cox people continue their "demonstration.

He gave It up and retired smilingly while the convention roared. Everybody said it was tho best speech so far delivered. Chairman Walsh announced to the convention that Mr. Maloney had taken the platform to second Governor Smiths nomination and then introduced S. V.
