ROOSEVELT and FAIRBANKS
ARE MADE The NOMINEES

When the applause had continued
seven minutes, IL was given a new
impetus by Cannon. who walked to the
front carrying a large banner. A little
girl clad entirely in white was lifted
| high on the shoulders Of some Califor-
MIA delegate, and the first sound of
| her childish voice was the signal for
another outburst. The child whose
name is Louise Roberts, was next car
r!cd on the shoulders of II stalwart
delegate from Indiana. He created a
new furore of enthusiasm. Little Naomi
Defoe, Of Alpena. Mich, followed, for
brief period, and when she had waved
her flag a few minutes Cannon began
rapping vigorously for order. 1t re-
CURED fully five minutes more to OBJ
tain it.
When Cannon had finally secured or
der, the secretary read the history of
the Lincoln flag, and then introduced
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who be-
gan his speech amid loud applause,
seconding the nomination.
When Beverdge concluded there was
another demonstration, but order was
soon restored. George A. Knight, Of
California, was then introduced to sec
ond the nomination of Roosevelt
Amidst yells from the California dele
cation their banner followed by a huge
wreath Of flowers, borne through the
hall as Knight proceeded to the plat
form.
Knight Makes Hit.
When Knight said that every man
should have liberty to work and to
make his home, the convention cheered
NO, no." We're the shouted responses
to Knights declaration that Socialism
can have no place among us. Anarchy
cannot live in America"
knight proved to be a phrase maker
"Cowardice and dishonesty, are not i'm
pulsive," shouted knight. Theodore
Roosevelt is impusive; he hypnotiZes
obstacles" He again, touched re-
sponsive cord when he exclaimed, of
the commencement of the Panama
canal, Roosevelt gave Uncle Sam a
job. Uncle Sam wanted it and he took
it. Uncle Sam belongs to the union,
too"
Knight concluded at 1918, and Henry
Stilwell Edwards, of Georgia, took the
platform to second RooSevet's nomi-
nation on behalf of the south.
More Secondng Speeches.
Edwards, who is n man of slight
physique and it not gifted with pene-
trating voice, therefore was unable to
command the attention that had been
given TO those VINO spoke before him.
His speech was eminently satisfactory.
however, to those within the range of
his voice. and he was frequently inter
iupteu ny applause.
The chair recognizes Ex-Governor
Bradley of Kentucky" said Speaker
Cannon as Edwards concluded; and he
came forward, leading Governor Brad
ley.
II introduce to you" said the chair
man, "a gentleman who comes from a
state where they take their politics as
they take their whisky-straight."
That the sentiment was favora bly, re-
ceived was evidenced by a hearty burst
of applause. At the conclusion of Brad
ley's speech Joseph L. Cotton of Mime
sofa was introduced by the chairman as
"one of those young men of the republic
who are doing things
Cotton has Il voice, and he used it.
His speech, that was heard in the re-
hottest nook of the hall and gallery,
was cheered repeatedly.
The hall began to grow oppressively
warm and handllerchiefs and fans were
in great demand But the enthusiasm
had not yet melted and Cottons Wig
orous declaration of republican prin-
ciples and his jibes at democracy
caught the fancy of his hearers and
We're approved by much applause
Prolonged cheering greeted the in
PRODUCTION of Harry S. Cummings. a
colored delegate from Maryland and a
general ovation was given him as he
closed

the front of the rostrum and at 1909
p. m. announced the roll call for the
nomination for president.
DolIiver Names Fairbanks.
Efforts were made by New Jersey
to suspend the further calling of the
roll, but the convention protested loud
~. The roll call proceeded rapidly, and
at its conclusion Cannon announced
that Theodore Roosevelt had received
the entire vote of the convention, 994,
and it only remained for him to an
nounce his nomination for president Of
the United States by the republican
party.
The enthusiasm following the an
nouncement was of much briefer dura-
ton than that which followed the first
call, the cheers not lasting over two
minutes. Speaker Cannon then said:
THE clerk will call the roll for pre-
sentation of candidates for vice presi-
dent"

Chairman Hundley, as before on the
presidential roll call, announced that
his state desired to waive its right in
favor of the state Of Iowa. This meant

presented the name of the Indiana SEN

Gentlemen of the Convention: The ma
tional republican convention. now nearly
world a moral spectacle of extraordinary
interest and significance. 1t is a fine
thing to see thousands of men, represent
ing millions of people, fighting In the po-
litcal arena for their favorite candidates,
contending valiantly for the success of
contradictory principles and conflicting
noise and defamation. its flying of ban
ners. its thunder Of the captains and it's
shouting, the truth often secures vindica-
ton and the right man comes out victor-
Gus. Sometimes, however wisdom is lost
in confusion. More than once we have
seen claims of leadership swallowed up in
to belong to convention whose con-
stituency in every state and territory and
in the islands of the sea has done it's
thinking by the quiet tiresides, undisturbed
by clamor of any sort, and has simplified
our responsibilities by the unmistaka BILE
terms of the credentials which we hold at
their hands.
