ROOSEVELT DEMONSTRATION.
Delegates and Spectators Wildly Cheer
President for as Minutes.

The second day of the Republican
national convention brought the long
expected Roosevelt yell, whirlwind of
enthusiasm which ragged within the
vast amphitheater of the Coliseum for
full As minutes Wednesday, and for a
time presented to the timid the spec
ter of Roosevelt stampede.
This demonstration was decidedly
the feature of day otherwise notable
for a stirring speech from the perma-
nent chairman of the convention, Sen.
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu.
sets, for much practical procedure
in placing the convention on smooth
running basis, and for the final defeat
of the plan to reduce the representa-
tion of southern states at future ma
tional conventions.
Probably the most important act of
the day, and the one having greatest
significance, was the adoption of the
report of the committee on credentials
seating the Taft delegations practical
ly in toto. If there had been any
lingering doubt of the Taft strength 1t
disappeared before this decisive ac-
ton, which in effect placed upwards of
700 delegates in the Taft column.
Temporary Chairman Burrows
called the convention to order prompt
ly at 1920, but the delay of commit
tees in reporting gave an hour for di-
version before the serious work of the
day was begun. This time was given
over to the visiting clubs. with bands
and vocal choruses, bearing banners
and strange devices of g. o. P. ele-
plants. In front Of the delegates par

laughter and applause.
For three-quarters of an hour the
tumult continued, and then Chairman
Lodge flushed his speech and the
business of the convention was re-
sumed.
Great Roosevelt Demonstration.
Mr.. Lodge early in his address
launched his sentence which electri-
fed the assemblage into It's first real
demonstration of wild enthusiasm.
"The president" exclaimed Mr..
Lodge, "is the best abused and most
popular man in the United States to-
day."
This was the long awaited signal.
Instantly shout broke from the gal
leries and was echoed back from the
floor, at first only tempest of de.
tached yells, and cat-calls, and shouts
of Teddy" but gradually gathering
force and volume until 1t swelled to a

tired voices died down to a hoarse
shout. and subsidized.

This lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Tafts nom-
ination, by George H. Knight of Cali
fornia, his big, round face beaming
forth on the sympathetic multitude,
and his splendid baritone voice we'll

church organ. California's tribute to
Taft was brief and fervid. Now there
was another lull in the Taft movement,
while the remaining candidates were
placed in nomination.
1t was late In the afternoon before
the convention, now literally swelter-
ing with the intense heat and weary
after nearly seven hours of continuous
session, reached the end of the flood
of eloquence and the decks were at
last cleared for the eliminating act.

was the same deafening wave OF sound
that had greeted Roosevelt Wednesday
and Taft little while before, intense
and maddening and with the vital ring
of genuine enthusiasm. 1t seemed as
though Wisconsin had suddenly peo-

delegates sat calm and waiting, ex-

Amid this pandemonium, and with
the galleries in full control, Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action In
order again to make the convention
master of its affairs. He ordered the
roll call of states to begin for the
vote on president. Such call. under
such circumstances of intense con-

Vote is Made Unanimous.
A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement, and with
one accord the cohorts of Cannon and
Knox and Hughes and the other
heroes, Joined in a common tribute for
the candidate of the party.
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, for Gov
Hughes. leaping upon a chair, moved
to make the nomination of Taft unani-
nous; Senator Penrose for Knox, and
Boutell for Cannon, and Henry of
Georgia for Foraker, and Wisconsin
for La Toilette, seconded the motion
for unanimous vote to the candidate.
The vote was given with ringing
cheer, and then with shouts of exulta-
tion over the new candidate, the con-
vention adjourned until ten o'clock
Friday morning, when the nomination
of vice-president was taken up.
1t was not until four hours had been
spent over the platform that the con-
vention was ready TO proceed with the
nominating speeches for president.
First came the nomination of Cannon,
by Representative Boutell of Illinois.

of Michigan, which awakened a well

Earlier in the day the battle over
the platform had occupied the close at
tention of delegates and spectators.
The platform as framed by the commit
tee on resolutions was read by its
chairman. Senator Hopkins of Illinois,
while minority report, rejecting the
views of the supporters of Senator
La Toilette, was presented by Con-
gressman Cooper of Wisconsin. 1t
was on one hand the sledgehammer
blows of the Wisconsin men against
combinations and monopoly, and on
the other hand the warning of Hopkins
against the "socialistic doctrines of
Wisconsin" The platform was adopt
ed by an overwhelming vote, after
many separate planks in the Wiscon-
sin plan had been buried under ad-
verse votes.
Sherman for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice-presi-
dency was not made until Friday.
When the convention adjourned for
the day Thursday the situation re.
garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled, but before the del.
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates
to support Representative James S.
Sherman of New York as the running
mate of the secretary of war.
Three names were placed in nomi-
nation when the chairman announced
that nominations were in order. Sher-
man was named as New York's choice
by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant
governor of the state; Gov. Curtis
Guild of Massachusetts was placed in
nomination by Senator Lodge, and Ex-
Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey
was named by Thomas N. McCarter.
Several brief seconding speeches were
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun 1t was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu-
| lar choice of the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to insure
his nomination Senator Crane of
Massachusetts moved that it be made
unanimous and 1t was carried with a
shout of approval.
The usual motions of acknowledg-
ment to the officers of the convention
and to the city in which 1t was held
were then passed.

their enthusiasm, and they lapsed into
silence to hear the result of the roll
call.
A hush of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to
511, or 20 more than enough to NOM
mate. Still the call went on until the
final result was announced by Chair
man Lodge:
For Theodore Roosevelt, votes;
for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio 16
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon
of Illinois, 81 votes; for Robert La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, a5 votes; for
Charles E. Hughes Of New York, SO
votes; for Philander C. Knox of Penn
sylvania 6S votes, and William H. Taft
of Ohio, 702 votes.

It's Stomach Cntn1YA

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fleshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, Hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ALI
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, If not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton of acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, DESTROYS
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble Is a ca.
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes nyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

Chicago. - For president of the
United States, William II. Taft of Ohio
For vice-president of the United
States, James S. Sherman of New
York.
Taft on the first ballot; Taft by 702
votes; Taft by the unanimous choice
of the convention. Sherman on the
first ballot; Sherman by the unani-
NOUS choice of the convention.
This is the ticket the delegates to the
Republican national convention assem-
sentation to the people at the Novem-
Der election.
The picture within the walls OF the
fvast amphitheater as the presidential
candidate was named Thursday was
one truly gradiose In its magnitude.
In front, to the right and left, below
and above, the billowing sea of hu-
ing and stirred from one emotion to
another, was in fever of expectancy
for the eliminating vote. The favorite
sons of other states had been named,
save Knox and La Toilette, and now
on the roll call came Ohio.
Scene of Wild Enthusiasm.
AS the Buckeye state was reached,
the tall, gaunt form of Theodore b.
Burton, with student-like face and
severe black clerical garb, advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio's can
dldate. He spoke fervently, with the
singing voice of an evangelist, which
went ringing through the great build
ing. The close of his speech of
nomination was the signal for loosing
the long pent-up feeling of the Taft
aegions. Instantly the Ohio delegates
were on their feet, other Taft states
following while the convention hosts,
in gallery and on floor, broke into mad
demonstration.
Taft, Taft, w. H. Taft" came in
a roar from the Ohioans.
Megaphones seemed to spring from
concealed places and swell the Taft
,tumult into thunder. A huge blue silk
banner bearing the familiar features
of the statesman-secretary was swung
before the delegates, awakening a
fresh whirlwind of enthusiasm.
All semblance of order had been
abandoned and the delegates arena
was a maelstrom of gesticulating
men; the guidons of the states were
snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts
.or borne under by the storm OF disor-
der. The band was inaudible--a mere
whisper above the deafening volume

CLOCK AND WATCH FREAKS.
Not Necessarily Dirty When They
Require Cleaning.

"a watch isn't necessarily dirty
when 1t requires cleaning" says a
matchmaker. ut may need clean
ing when 1t hasn't even been WORE.
"a common cause of this Is that
the oil in the works has dried up
and become sticky, causing the watch
to go slow. or even to stop. In this
case 1t not only wants cleaning, but
also the addition of fresh oil.
The best oil for this purpose Is
obtained from the jawbone of the
porpoise. and kindred fish. Many
watchmakers mix their own oil from
various kinds.
Clocks also stop for no apparent
reason. During thunderstorm,
for instance a clock may stop, only
resuming work when minutes, days.
or even weeks have passed.
"Thunderstorms again, have been
responsible for the restarting of old
clocks which apparently had retired
altogether from active service. -
