At the night session, because of the con-
test between Messrs. III. s. New and Frank
NJ. Millikan. the selection of national COM
mitteeman was made by secret ballot
Twenty seven members out of thirty were
present, and the vote stood: New 20; Milli-
Kan, 6; one not voting. Three absentees,
Messrs. Amsden, who is Senator Bever-
idges alternate; Thompson, of the First
district, and Cummins, of the Second dis
trict, would have voted for Mr.. New had
they been present, thereby making his
vote %. These gentlemen could not get to
the meeting on account of the impossible
ity of getting through the masses of peo-
pie assembled to witness the parade. They
arrived too late TO vote, but will go on
record as for Mr. New.
Mr. Nlillikan was placed in nomination
by Charles s. Jones, of the Sixth district
and Mr.. New by Robert Metzger, of the
Seventh Little time was consumed in ora
torical exploitation, the delegates getting
| down to work quickly. When the result
was announced Mr.. Jones, on behalf Of
Mr. Millikan, moved to make the election
unanimous. which was done with enthus-
asm. A committee was appointed to notify
Mr.. New of his election, and he was in
yited before the delegation. The new COM
r1itteeman. in brief speech, thanked the
delegation for the honor conferred on him,
after which some little time was spent in
discussion of the practical details of the
campaign.
At the morning session Senator Fair
banks, chairman of the delegation, was ap-
pointed on the committee on resolutions of
which he will be chairman; Governor
Mount. of Indiana, vice president of the
convention: C.. c. Shirley, on credentials;
Colonel Chas. L. Jewett on organization;
G. p. Haywood on rules; ]. d. Widaman
to notify the President of his nomination.
and C. S. Hernly to nifty the vice presi-
Dental nominee.
An announcement was made during the
afternoon that Governor Mount would
| make speech on behalf of Indiana sec
ending the nomination of President McKin-
| ley. Seconding speeches will be made by
representatives of nearly every State on
| the list. The Indiana delegation is at sea
en- the Vice President tonight Early in
the day a spirit of decided friendliness for
Governor Roosevelt developed. but on re-
| Election it was decided best not to go on
record as formally indorsing him, although
| no vote was taken The matter was simply
allowed 10 remain OPEN At the evening
session Senator Fairbanks made a formal
request of the delegates not to consider him
| as a candidate, not To present his name
| snd not to vote for him. His wishes will
| be scrupulously observed unless that
emergency should arise forcing him to the
| front as the man without feuds and with
| out embarrassing entanglements.
