Scene of Wild Enthusiasm.
The picture within the walls of the
vast amphitheater as the presidential
candidate was named Thursday was
one truly gradiose in its magnitude.

on the roll call came Ohio.
AS the Buckeye state was reached,
the tall. gaunt form CT Theodore E.

severe black clerical garb, advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio's can
didate. He spoke fervently, with the
singing voice of an evangelist, which
went ringing through the great build

nomination was the signal for loosing

were on their feet, other Taft states

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 a call, under
such circumstances of intense con-
fusion, has probably never before &C.
Cured in the history of national con
ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call of the states
heard above the deafening clamor.
Selling a megaphone he shouted the
roll of states-Alabama, Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uprcar. Gradually, however. the
curiosity of the multitude conquered
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 is
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon
of Illinois. 81 votes: for Robert La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, rs votes: for
Charles E. Hughes of New York, SO
votes; for Philander c. Knox of Penn
sylvania. GO votes. and William H. Taft
of Ohio. 7O2 votes.
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.
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 It was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu-
lar choice Of the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to insure
his domination Senator Crane Of
Massachusetts, moved that It be made
unanimous and 1t was earrisd with .
shout Of approval.
