the business Of nominations.
Mrs. HoWard's Name Presented.
Before the seconds were announced one
Of the New York delegates had been rec
ognized. and placed in nomination the
name Of Mrs. Eleanor Washington How
ard. The rest of the New York delegation
applauded heartily. as did some few in
dlvidual delegates scattered about the
hall, and a good part OF the District dele
cation.
Mrs. McLean's seconds were then al
lowed TO get in their speeches, and, as
second after second declared her State
delegation to be solid for the incumbent.
the uproar became more and more deafen-
ing Mrs. Patton delivered the Pennsyl
vania delegation. Mrs. Thorn seconded
Mrs. Mclean for Maryland, the president
generals native State, and Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey seconded the nomination
for the majority OF the District. Then
followed seconds from Michigan, New
Jersey. Georgia, Delaware. Illinois. Ohio.
Arkansas. Iowa, and Kansas. all solid
for the nomination. Many other States
seconded Mrs. Mclean. and apparently
all were either solid for the incumbent or
for her by a substantial majority.
Members Of the New York delegation
seconded Mrs. Towards nomination. as
did the delegation from Colorado indi-
vidual members from Massachusetts. and
Mrs. NJ T. 5. Davis, the retiring treas
urer general Mrg. Davis created much
amusement when. in seconding Mrs. How
ard, she declared her to De the only living

From the vociferous Interruptions that
greeted this statement, Mrs Davis saw
her mistake, and corrected her remark to
read. "a descendant Of the Washington

impression. and Mrs. Mclean supple
mented IL by saying that she seconded the
nomination of a woman whose work she
thought to be good. Little excitement at

This last ease is the robbery Of a gold
neck chain set with a diamond from the

IowANs FAVOR THIRD TERM.
Representative Hull says There Is
Also some Taft Sentiment.

"Seyenty-hye per cent Of the people in
Iowa are for the President for a third
term. said Representative HUH. who
called at the White House yesterday
morning. If the President should set
out Of the political arena. 1t would be "a
mighty good and interesting fight. and
would be anybodys battle But most Of
the people in the West believe that he
will be "A candidate. and so the other
bo0ms are not growing very fast There
is a good deal OF Taft sentiment in Iowa,
mainly, I think because they believe
he is the choice of the President. Mr.
Hughes is never heard Of neither is Mr..
Cortelyou, Ii Mr.. Cummins were TO
run for Vice President be would receive
the support Of the State. I am sure. Mr..
Shaw by his change of business residence
TO New York has put himself out of the
political running in Iowa.
Senator Elkins. of West Virginia, called
at the White House to present the name
of a candidate for the vacant internal
revenue commissioncrship. My State is
for Roosevelt of course. said Senator
Elkins. "but ne says he'll not run.
Second choice? Oh. no; I haven't any
idea who would be the second choice Of
the State. Taft2 He'd make mighty
good President if he were elected"
