Convention
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-''Words do
not find themselves at a time like this.
1 do not deny that am very happy"
This was the response of Secretary
William H. Taft to a request for an
expression of his views on his nomina-
ton for the presidency.
The sentences did not come easily.
Throughout the afternoon preceding
the announcement Of his nomination
the secretary had been laboring un-
der suppressed nervous strain. The at
mosphere of his Office was electric with
excitement.
Notwithstanding the personal interest
which he had in the proceedings at
Chicago, a thousand miles away. Sec
retary Taft did not permit politics to
interfere for moment with his trans
action of official business as secretary
of war. In the tntermissions between
bulletins from the convention. the sec
retary disposed of several important
departmental questions and when his
nomination for the presidency was an
nounced his desk was practically
cleared of important official business.
Throughout the afternoon the private
office of Secretary Taft and the office
of his private secretary, Frederick
Carpenter, were thronged with MEM
bers of his family, intimate personal
and official friends and newspaper
men.
Shortly before IL o'clock Mrs. Taft
arrived at the war department. She
scanned carefully the bulletins which
had been received from the convention
and distinctly manifested her pleasure
at the result of the action of the con-
vention regarding the platform. She is
a close, accurate observer of things
politically and Is one of the best ad-
visers the secretary has had through
out the preliminary campaign for the
presidential nomination.
Family Is Present
Mrs. Taft remained in the secretary's
private office throughout the after
noon. She was attired in a becoming
suit of pure white and wore big pic
ture hat of pea green straw, adorned
with seal brown and pale green os-
trich plumes Accompanying her was
the young son OF the secretary-little
Charlie-whose special function 1t was
to carry the bulletins received from the
convention from the telegraph opera
tor to the secretary's desk. He was
