"UncIe Joe" to the Fore.
Such a picture Of sturdy, homely.,
plain American citizenship as Cannon
appeared, advancing before the
throng, which rose to do him homage
has seldom been seen before a nation
al convention. His serious face was
beaded with persiration, his collar
had melted to a rag which chung limp

wide open, exposing a crumpled shirt
and the sleeves of his black alpaca.
coat curled up about his dangling
cuffs to his elbows as his waving arms
emphasized his ringing words for his
colleague and friend-James S. Sher-
man of New York.
From the outbursts of enthusiasm
which greeted every mention of Sher~
mans name it was plain that tlle
mind of the convention had been
made up and that the decision was
only to be recorded. But for mo-
ment there was halt in the Sherman
movement, as Senator Lodge, leaving
the presiding officers chair, advanced
to nominate Gov. Guild of Massachu-
sets for the vice presidency. The
senator's voice was strained with the
exertions of recent days, but he spoke
eloquently and forcibly for the Massa-
chusetts candidate. Michigan, through
Charles T. Osborne, added her voice
for Guild, and New Jersey brought
forward her favorite son in speech

Now began the vote, taken amid
confusion first, which increased as
the figures climbed upward to the
nominating point. The result was
never in doubt, as the totals Of states
were heaped one upon another. There
were scattering votes, but the great
body of delegates swelled the total for
Sherman until it touched BIG. With
keen appreciation of the effect of cli-
max, Chairman Lodge announced the
result, reserving Sherman's total untfE

WILLIAM II. TAFT OF OHIO.
For Vice President,
JAMES S. SHERMAN OF NEW YORK.

These are the men selected by the
Republican national convention as the
standard bearers for the Republican
party in the national campaign now at
hand
The convention just closed was in
many respects one Of the most re-
markable in the history of American
politics. The noisy demonstrations
in honor of various favorites among
the party leaders have never been
equaled in any Republican convention.
The Republican national convention
was called to order at IL o'clock Tues
day by Chairman New of the national
committee. Temporary Chairman
Senator Burrows OF Michigan was in
troduced and made his keynote
speech. Committees on credentials,
resolutions and rules of order were
appointed and the convention adjourn

demonstrations ever seen in ma
tlonal convention. Senator Lodge, in
his speech, referred to President
Roosevelt as "the best abused and
most popular man in the United
States to-day" The mention of the
presidents name started a whirlwind
of enthusiasm which ragged for forty.
five minutes. Several times Senator
Lodge attempted to quiet the tumult,
but at last gave it up and the frenzied
enthusiasts were allowed to wear
themselves out. At the end of three.
quarters Of an hour Senator Lodge
was able to resume and conclude his
address. The report of the commit
tee on credentials was then adopted,
and after a brief debate the Burke
resolution to cut down the representa-
tion in convention was lost The
convention then adjourned until 10
o'clock Thursday morning.

TAFT AND SHERMAN ARE
CHOSEN BY REPUBLICANS

Lodge decided upon heroic action in
order again to make the convention
master Of its affairs. He ordered the
roll call OF state to begin for the vote
on president. Such call, under such
circumstances Of intense confusion,
has probably never before occurred in
the history Of national conventions.
The secretary was powerless to make
his call Of the states heard above the
deafening clamor. Selling a mega.
phone, he shouted the roll of states
Alabama, Arkansas-but his voice was
swallowed up in the mad uproar.
Gradually, however, the curiosity Of
the multitude conquered their enthu-
siasm and they lapsed into silence to
hear the result of the roll call.
7o2 Votes for Taft.
A hush Of expectc ncy 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
twenty more than enough to nominate,
Still the call went on until the final
result was announced by Chairman
Lodge:
''For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes;
for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, 16
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks Of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph G. Can
non of Illinois, 81 votes; for Robert
NJ. La Toilette Of Wisconsin, Is votes:
for Charles E. Hughes of New York,
GO votes; for Philander c. Knox of
Pennsylvania, 6S votes, and William
H. Taft of Ohio, 702 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 common tribute TO
for TIE candidate Of the party.

TAFT NAMED FOR PRESIDENT.

Taft on the first ballot; Taft by 7O2
votes; Taft by the unanimous choice
of the convention.
Such is the record of the culminat-
ing day Of the Republican national
convention Of 1908, effected amid
scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm and
after a .nerve-racking, continuous ses-
sion lasting nearly eight hours. With
the candidate for president named
and the platform enunciated, there re-
mains only the nomination of the vice
president to complete this momentous
work. Last night the whole city was
given over to wild exultation in honor
of the new candidate whose name
goes echoing through the country.
Favorite Sons Named.

vast amphitheater as the presidential
candidate was named yesterday was

black, clerical garb, advanced to the
platform to nominate Ohio's candi,

singing voice of an evangelist, which

Taft Legions Break Loose.
The close Of his speech was the sig
nal for loosening the long pent-up
feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly
the Ohio delegates were on their feet,
other Taft states following, while the
convention hosts, in gallery and on
floor, broke into mad demonstrations:
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 secretary of war was swung be-
fore the delegates, awakening. afresh
whirlwinds of enthusiasm.
All semblance Of order had been
abandoned and the delegates arena
was maestrom Of gesticulating men.

not repudiate the action taken by
the Glenwood convention in en-
deavoring to adjust the Denver
squabble. Such course would
create general dissatis fe C t or
among the Democrats of the state
and jeopardize the success of the
ticket in November which now ap-
pears so promising.
OF the county conventions that
have been held very few have in
structed the delegates for anything
or anybody. In the contest for
endorsement Of the senatorial can
didate, G. j. Hughes is the prefer
ence of the majority of the dele
gates. The gubernatorial situation
has simmered down to Judge A.
w. Rucker and b. L. jefferson.
One of the two will be nominated
and a safe prediction cannot be
made at this time as to which one
can muster the most strength at
the convention.
In regard to the craftsmanship
of the state committee the lineup
of the delegates shows that Tully
Scott is practically out of the run
ming. His home county from which
he expected so much in the way
of support did not stay with him
The craftsmanship rests between
