Henry Smith, president of the Asso-
ciated Press at that time. he secured a
position with that organization at
Pittsburg. He found time to practice
journalism and read law Akthe same
time, and soon after he become
graduate Of law, his ability secured
for him the solicitor for the Chesa-
peake s. Ohio railroad. His success
in corporation law gave him a wide
reputation, and at the time of his cleo
ton to the senate he was known as
one of the most skilled railroad attor-
news and financiers Of the west.
Soon after his election to the senate
a high compliment vas paid to Mr..
Fairbanks by his appointment as
chairman of the United States branch
of the AngIo-American joiut high
commission. The questions that the
commission was expected to consider
were OF the highest Importance, and
their nature was such as to demand
not only a profound knowledge of
law, but theory and practice of di-
plomacy. Throughout the trying ne
gotiations of the joint commission,
Senator Fairbanks conducted the case
of the United States in such way as
to command the respect of the British
and Canadian commissions and to re-
tain their cordial personal regard and
good will.
Mr.. Fairbanks home Is in Indian.

in Massachusetts, avenue, Washing
ton, when congress is in session. Mrs.
Fairbanks is one of the most promi-
nent clubwomen IN the country and,
through that medium. is almost as
widely known as her distinguished
husband.

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS CHOSEN
Chairman Joseph C. Cannon Credited
With mt Last Accusing by His tIo-
quence All the Dormant Enthu-
siasm of Great Assembly.

CHICAGO June 23.-At the great
assembly of the Republicans in the
Coliseum here today came the eli
max, the great purpose of the con-
vention as outlined almost from the
very start, the nomination of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt and Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana for
first and second places on the Repub-
ican national ticket.
The convention opened on a call to
order by Chairman Joseph G.. Cannon
who had become the central figure
in the proceedings and who had awak-
ened by his eloquence the dormant
enthusiasm which burst forth time and
time again. During his long Grafton
the audience cheered whether he spoke
jocularly or in serious vein. He was
the entertainer-in fact, he was the
convention.
Rev. Thaddeus l.. Snively offered
brief but impressive prayer for divine
guidence in the deliberations of the
important day.
Ex-Governor Black of New York in
fervent and impressive speech nomi-
mated Theodore Roosevelt as the Re
publican candidate for president of the
United States.
Mr. Black opened with witty
resume Of the political situation, point
ing with pride to the harmony in the
Republican camp and likening the
Democratic party TO an army without
weapons, with discord in its ranks,
giving the only evidence of approach
ing battle in the tone and number of
Its bulletins The zeal of the Demo-
Gratis. he declared, consisted chiefly in
discussions of what Thomas Jefferson
would do If he were living. They had
no living principles. he said, and their
most expressive motto was the cheer
less word Forget"
The name of the Republican party,
the speaker said, stood over every door
where a righteous cause was born. 1t
needs no new name or platform to des-
ignate its purposes. Reviewing the
great questions now confronting the
American nation, he presented Theo-
dore Roosevelt as the one man to
whom the solution of these questions
could be safely intrusted. He told of
President Roosevelt's career in peace
and war and concluded as follows:
"There are times when great fitness
Is hardly less than destiny. when the
elements so come together 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 single name which /
am chosen only to pronounce: Gentle
men, I nominate for president OF the
United States the highest living type

SKETCH OF SEN. FAIRBANKS.

There will be no opposition to the
nomination of Senator Fairbanks, of
Indiana, for vice-president. all others
who have been mentioned having
withdrawn in his favor. The nomi-
nation will be made tomorrow.
A little more than ten years ago
Charles Warren Fairbanks was hardly
thought of as factor in political life.
Yet in 1892 he was made chairman of
the Indiana republican convention,
and one year later received the entire
vote of his party in the legislature for
the United States senatorship. The
vote, however, was not large enough
to elect. In 1897 his election came,
and scarcely seven years after his ap
pearance in Indiana politics he was
talked of for the highest honors in the
gift of the people of the United States
Senator Fairbanks is native of
Ohio. having been born at Unionville
Center, that state, in 1862. He was
graduated from Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity at the age of 20 and began his
career as newspaper man. Through
the influence ar his uncle, William

structing the platform to the subeom-
mittee the full committee on resolu-
tons Of the Republican convention lis.
tened to a delegation Of woman suf-
fragists and MISC TO Representative
Bartholdt of Missouri, who presented
an international arbitration plank.
Representative Bartholdt's plank
reads as follows:
1--WE favor the peaceful settlement Of
international differences by arbitration
and advocate the negotiation Of arbi-
tration treaties between the govern
ment of the United States and the gov
ernments Of other nations"
Ralph Loveland, member of the
committee, presented plank pledging
the party to the further Improvement
Of waterways.
The La Toilette people appeared be-
fore the committee on credentials and
declined to present their case. They
made statement that the national
committee had declined to hear the ev-
idence which they were willing to sub
NIT and that 1t was their understand
ing that the committee on credentials
had been approached" For that rea-
son they would make no presentation
of their case. but would appeal to the
people OF Wisconsin in November.
Senator Depew was recognized by
the chairman to deliver to the conven-
ton an invitation from President
Francis and the directors of the Loui-
siana Purchase exposition to delegates
and members of the press to visit the
fair at ST Louis before returning to
| tdclr homes. Senator Depew started
TO read the Invitation from his seat, but
at the demand Of delegates and specta-
| tors he mounted the platform. There
| he passed the invitation over to a
| clerk to read When 1t was concluded
Chairman Root suggested that the sen
marks. The suggestion was accepted,
and in recommending that the invita-
| ton be accepted Senator Depew said
| the Democrats are claiming the credit
of gaining an empire peaceably on the
ground that the party through Jeffer-
son had bought the land. The Repub-
licans, he said, had titled ii and were
going to share the harvest. The speech
| was received with favor and the invi-
tation accepted.
There is a practically unanimous be
lief that the Indiana senator will be
chosen There has been some commu-
nication with Representative Hit. and
he has been informed of the situation
1t is expected that he will authorize
the withdrawal of his name, in which
event the other candidates also will be
withdrawn and the nomination of Sen
ator Fairbanks be made unanimous.
The tariff plank as finally agreed
upon, after an especially strong reitera
ton Of the Republican policy of protec
ton, announces willingness to change
the schedules whenever business con
ditions demand the change" but the
opinion is expressed that all changes
should be along protection lines.

nomination.
Because Speaker Joseph G. Cannon
was chairman and the central figure
the proceedings of the convention have
taken on picturesqueness and demon
strativeness which before had been
looked for in vain. From the moment
he was escorted to the platform to
WELD the gayel as the permanent
chairman the entire atmosphere OF
the convention changed. Enthusiasm
which had lain dormant broke forth
and bursts of applause rang through
the assembly,
From the standpoint of political i'm.
portance the adoption of the party plat
form was great event. 1t contained
declarations of party policy that are to
form the basis of much of the oratory
in the coming campaign. But the per-
manent chairman's personality almost
overshadowed the platform
When Chairman Cannon advanced to
the far end Of the platform and read a
dispatch from Washington giving the
ultimatum of Secretary Hay TO the
Moroccan government that the United
States wanted either Perdicaris alive
or Raisuli dead it was received with
wild enthusiasm. The delegates with
one accord jumped to their feet and
voiced their approval noisily.
Amid the cheers of the assembly and
wild enthusiasm on the part of the del
egation from Indiana Senator Charles
w. Fairbanks was nominated for vice
president.
Senator Dolliyer made the nominal
ton in a rousing speech.

SKETCH OF THEo. ROOSEVELT

Theodore Roosevelt. renominated for
president by the republicans, was
known as one of the most unique and
picturesque figures in American pub
lie life when he was elected to the
vice presidency of 1900 and succeeded
to the presidency year later through
the death of William Mckinley. His
diversified and vigorous activities had
not only brought him recognition and
advancement in political life, but had
won him renown on the field of battle,
in the Bad Lands of the West, as
ranchman. hunter, and cowboy, and
also in the more peaceful pursuit of
honors in the literary world.
In contravsntion of we'll established
tradition concerning national heroes,
the president was born in great
city. His birthplace was in East
Twentieth street, New York citv, aud
the date Oct. 81, 1858. which made
him the youngest president when he
succeeded to that high Office three
years ago His father, Theodore. be-
longed to an old and wealthy Knicker-

Smoot Case Again.

Now that the election is over the
investigation of Senator R e d
Smoot, of Utah, will again be
taken up. The hearing is set to
begin at Salt Lake on the Goth OF
this month.
The original intention was to
hold sessions in Salt Lake, Manti,
Nephi, Brigham and Logan in
Utah, but this has been abandoned
and all the witnesses will be
brought to Salt Lake.
After the hearing in Salt Lake
it is quite likely that the senatorial
party will come to this state and a

reported to have occurred in the

REPUBLICAN
LANDSLIDE
Idaho County Gives Teddy Immense
Majority.
BOTH PARTIES ARE Surprised
Every Democrat On County
Ticket Probably Defeated.

Election day has come and gone,
and Idaho county, heretofore con-
sidered a democratic stronghold,
has gone over to the republicans
with majorities that exceeded the
expectations of the most visionary
republican manager. Precincts
like Keuterville, Ferdinand and
Green Creek that have always
been overwhelming democratic,
have changed to republican pre-
cincts and gave their votes to
Teddy.
Owning to the large number of
isolated precincts the returns are
as yet far from being complete,
but the indications are that Roose-
welt will have 900 majority and
Gooding about 800. On the
county ticket Taylor, Griffith and
Elsensohn are all running close to
their opponents, but it is hardly
probable any of them will win out
unless it might be Taylor.
Green, for sheriff, on the repub-
lican ticket, leads, and his major
ity will probably reach 600 or 700.
Others range from that down, but
it looks now as if all will be elect
ed. The weather was perfect,
bringing out large lady vote, and
the total vote will considerably ex'
ceed 1000. While a large number
of people We're around the polling
places, the best of feeling prevailed
and everything was in perfect har'
mony.
For precinct officers, the repub
lican candidates, Woodward and
Hotchkiss for justices, and Arnole
for constable, were elected by
about their party majority.
