WHAT THEY WERE rHEnE FOR
Nub Of the Con vention Comes With y
Whlrlwind OF Enthusiasm,

Mud OF the Con Vention Comes With n
Whirlwind OF Enthusiasm,
The close of Beveridge's speech was
marked by a tremendous scene of
enthusiasm, and it was some tine be-
fore quiet was restored to enable the
other seconders to address the audi
ence Quiet came at last however,
and then in succession each well
coined with applause, applauded fire.
Quenty through his speech and given
a rous1ng cheer at his close-the fol-
lowing gentlemen seconded the nomi-
nation In brief speeches, George A.
Knight, Of California; Harry Stillwen
Edwards, Of Georgia; Joseph B. Cot
ton, of Minnesota, and Harry S. Cum
mtngs, Of Maryland.
The vote was next; it was unani-
nous; there wasn't even a whisper Of
dissent; II dissent had been there and
spoken in tones Of thunder it wouldn't
have been heard, for the convention
went wild at the elimination of it's
three days session. Men who had at
tended many conventions said it was
like old times. AS from exhaustion
the cheerers would take breath and the
volume of sound wane, others who had
been resting would take up the APP
plause and again it would swell until
it looked as though it would raise
the roof
Tired at last the convention became
quiet and the chairman announced that
the nomination of vice president Wasin
order. Thereupon Senator Dolliver, of
Iowa, arose and in one of the eloquent
speeches for which he is noted he
named Senator Chas. ". Fairbanks for
that Office. He was followed by Cover
nor Pennypacker, of Pennsylvania, who
seconded the nomination, and with a
scene something less enthusiastic than
that which accompanied ROosevelts
nomination Fairbanks was declared
the nominee Of the convention for vice
president
This brought the conventions bust
ness nearly to close, there being moth
ing left to do except appoint notifca-
ton committees and adjourn sine die.

guarding the morality of the nation
IL the American home the name of
Theodore Roosevelt is not only hon.
ored but beloved. Life holds no re-
ward so noble as the confidence and
love Of the American people.
The Americanpeople! The mfghtiest
force fofr good the ages have evolved.
They began as children Of liberty. They
believed in God and His providence.
They took truth and justice and toler-
ance as their eternal ideals and
marched fearlessly forward. Wilder
nesses stretched before them-they
subdued them. Deserts obstructed-
. they passed them. Their faith failed
them not and a continent was theirs.
From ocean to ocean cities rose, fields
blossomed, railroads ran; but every
where church and school were perma-
nent proofs that the principles of their
origin We're the life of their maturity.
"The American people are not ex-
hausted; we have only tested our
strength Gods work for us in the
world is not finished; His future mis-
sions for the American people win be
grander than any He has given us,
nobler than we now can comprehend.
And these tasks as they come we will
accept and accomplish as our fathers
accomplished theirs. And when fhe
generation shall have passed and our
children shall catch from our aging
hands the standard we have borne it
will be still the old flag OF Yorktown
and Appomattox and Manila Bay.
'Thfs is the Republican idea of the
American people; this the thought we
have when we nominate today our
candidate for the nations chief: this
the quality of AmeFicanism a Republi-
can standard bearer must have. And
this is just the Americanism Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt"

Eloquent Eulogy of the President by the
Indiana Senator.

Indiana Senator.
Blacks speech ELECTED continuous
applause, and when he closed wave
Of enthusiasm swept over the conven-
ton. Men and women Joined in the
applause, many standing on the seats
to better give vent to their feelings.
When quiet was restored the CHAIR
man introduced Senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge, Of Indiana, who led the second
ers. His appearance was the signal
for another wave of enthusiasm, and
as it died away he said:
Gentlemen Of the Convention: One
difference between the opposition and
ourselves is this: They select their can
didate for the people, and the people
select our candidate for us. This was
true four years ago when we accepted
the peoples judgment and named Will
lam Mckinley. It is true today when
we again accept the peoples Judgment
and name Theodore Roosevelt, whose
sympathies are as wide as the re-
public, whose courage, honesty and Wis
ion meet all emergencies and the sum
Of whose qualities make him the type
Of twentieth century Americanism.
Theodore Roosevelt is a leader who
leads; because he carries out the set
tied purposes Of the people. Our presi-
dents plans, when achieved, are al.
ways found to be merely the nations
will accomplished. And that is why
the people will elect him. They know
that while he Is president the flag will
''stay put" and no American advan-
tage in the Pacific or the world lie sur
rendered. Americans never retreat
While he is president no wrong-doe
in the service OF the government win
go unwhipped Of Justice. Americans
demand honesty and honor, vtgilant
and fearless.
while he is president readtustment
Of tariff schedules will be made only
in harmony with the principle Of pro-
lection. Americans have memories.
While he Is president peace with every
nation will be preserved at any cost,
excepting only the sacrifice of Ameri-
can rights; and the vigor with which
he maintains these will be itself a
guarantee Of peace. The American peo-
pie will elect him because, in a word,
they know that he does things the peo-
PIE want done; does things, not merely
discusses them-does things only after
discussing them-but does things; and
does only those things the people
would have him do This is character
istically American; for wherever he is,
the American is he who achieves. His
past is his proof. Every great meas
ure of his administration was so wise.

own party, it won votes even from the
opposition OF what measure Of Theo-
dore Rooseyelt's administration does
the opposition dare even to propose
the repeal? And when has the record
of any president won greater approx
al?
And so the people trust him as
statesman. Better than that, they love
him as man. He wins admiration in
vain who wins not affection also. In

happiness and virtue where dwell the

Chicago, June 23.-Promptly at 10
a. N. today Chairman Cannon called
to order the Republican national con-
vention in it's last session. The action
Of the day was a foregone conclusion.
Everybody knew that the ticket would
be Roosevelt and Fairbanks, it having

came into the hall were the same as on
previous days, and the band played

fight was thickest and the greatest
spicuous in the pursuits Of peace and
in the arduous stress Of war. His
qualities do not need TO be retoId, for
no man in that exalted place since Lin
coin has been better known in every
household in the land. He is not con-
sentative, If conservatism means wait
ing till it is too late. He is not wise,
if wisdom is to count a thing a hun
dred times when once will do. There
is no regret so keen, in man or coun-
try, as that which follows an oppor-
tunity unembraced.
Gle does not claim to be the Solomon
of his time. There are many things
he may not know, but this is sure,
that above all things ELSE he stands
for progress, courage and fair play,
which are the synonyms of the Amer
lean name. There are times when
great fitness is hardly less than des-
tiny, when the elements so come to-
gether that they select the agent they
will use. Events sometimes select the
strongest man, as lightning goes down
the highest rod. And so it is with those
events which for many months with
unerring sight have led you to a sin
gle name which am chosen only to
pronounce: Gentlemen, nominate for
president Of the United States the
highest living type Of the youth, the
vtgor and the promise Of a great coun-
try and great age, Theodore Roose-
Welt, Of New York"

CANNON FOOLS THE PRESS.
Does Not Speak His Printed Grafton
Wednesdays Pre1iminaries.

Chairman Cannon played it, on
the press by giving out a 2.5OO-word
speech to be printed, and then deliv-
cred one off-hand containing 1000
words, when he was introduced to
tbs convention yesterday. His speech
as delivered was only an elaboration
of the one he gave out and their
serious points were the same, the diff
ference being IN the decoration, as it
were. CannOn's explanation was that
he had tried TO memorize his writ,
ten speech and could not, and he just
would not read the sReech-then he
turned himself loose" and kept the
house in a roar from beginning to
end.
In fact"Uncle Joe" was the whole
thing at the second days meeting, and
little interest was taken In anything
else except the platform, the adoption
of which was politically speaking the
rules committee was easily disposed OF
rules committee was early disposed of,
and had no sensations in it. That Of
the credentials committee was inter.
esting only so far as it dealt with
Wisconsin. In this matter the COM
mittee sustained the 'stalwarts' en-
tirely, which is another defeat for Gov
ernor La Toilette
The next thing was the resolutions
committees report, which was adopted
without a dissenting vote, and this
practically closed the second session
of the convention.
