Prominent Men in Republican Party Hasten to
Place Themselves on Record Roosevelt
Says Taft Is Best Man the Party Could
Nominate Cannon, Foraker, Hughes
and Many Others Congratulate
the Nominee

Washington, D. G., June 19.Im-
|mediately after receiving the news Of
the nomination Of Secretary Taft for
the presidency, President Roosevelt
said: as5
Il feel that the country Is indeed
to be congratulated upon the nom
ination Of Mr.. Taft. I have known
him intimately for many years and
/ have a peculiar feeling for him be-
cause throughout that time we have
worked with the same purposes and
ideals. I do not believe there could
be found in all the country, man
30 we'll fitted to be president. He
lis not only absolutely fearless, abso-
lutely disinterested and upright, but
he has the widest acquaintance with
the nations need without and with
in and the broadest sympathies with
all our citizens. He would be as
|emphatically the president of the
plain people.
"Yet not Lincoln himself would be
freer from the least taint Of dema-
|gogy, the least tendency to arouse or
appeal to class hatred OF any kind.
He has a peculiar and intimate
knowledge of and sympathy with the
needs of all our people. Of the farm
Ter, Of the wage worker, Of the bust
ness man, Of property owners. No
matter what mans occupation or 30
|cial position, no matter what his
creed, his color or section Of the
country from which he comes, IL he
is an honest, hard working man,
who tries to do his duty towards his
neighbor and toward his country, he
can rest assured that he will have
in Mr.. Taft the most upright Of reps
resentatives and the most fearless of
champions. Mr.. Taft stands against
privilege and he stand pre-eminently
for broad principles Of American
citizenship which lie at the foun-
|dation OF our national well-being. /"

HOW THE PRESIDENT
RECEIVED THE NEWS

The president was playing tennis
with Assistant Secretary Bacon Of
the state department when Mr.. Loeb
took him the news of the nomina-
ton Of Secretary Taft by the repub-
lican convention. He had previously
prepared statement declaring Mr..
Taft to be the very best candidate
the republican party could get for
the high honor paid him yesterday
and as soon as the news Of the nom
ination reached him it was given to
the newspapers. Then he continued
with his game Of Singles until the
time arrived to go in to dinner.
While the day was one OF great
interest and while Mr.. Roosevelt
read all important bulletins, there
was no such intense period as that
which characterized the previous day
when for nearly an hour the con-
yention broke into an uproarious ov-
alton for the president.
There were many callers at the
White House during the day, Sec
retary Taft remaining IN the execu-
tive Office for nearly an hour IN the
morning. @
Other visitors who say the presi-
dent occupied his time quite fully,
but at 8 o'clock he broke his Gus
tom by going out driving for an hour
with Mrs. Roosevelt. Their horses
having been forwarded to Oyster
Bay, they had to forego their GUS
tomary recreation Of horseback rid
ing. AS the president was away from
the White House during the period
when nominations were being made
lin Chicago, some comment was made
as to what the effect of his absence
might be ii case there should be a
stampede Of the convention fayoring
his nomination when It would be
impossible to get word to him, but
there proved To- be no need of appre-
Ihension on that account.

Galleries Disturb Hanly

Chicago, June 18.-At 1:49 pm,
the galleries became SO impatient
with the length Of Gov. Hanley's re-
marks nominating Fairbanks that
they jeered and boohooed until the
Coliseum was in an uproar of laugh
ter. Mr. Hanly shook his finger at
the gallery and told them to be qui-

with his gayal to no purpose.

The vote was given with ringing
cheer, and then with shout of ex-
ultation over the new candidate the
convention adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning when the nom
ination for vice president will be
made. EARLY in the day the battle
over the platform had occupied the
close attention of the delegates and
spectators. The platform as franz
ed by the committee on resolutions
was read by its chairman, Senator
Hopkins of Illinois, while the min
ority report, rejecting the views Of
the supporters of Senator LaFollette,
was presented by Congressman Coop
er of Wisconsin. 1t was on one hand
the sledge hammer blows of Wiscon-
sin against combinations and mon
opoly, and on the other hand al
warning of Senator Hopkins against
the "socialistic doctrines OF Wiscon-
The platform was adopted by
an overwhelming vote, after many
separate planks In the wisconsin
plan had been buried deep under adj
verse votes.
It was not until four hours had
been spent over the platform that
the convention was ready to pro-
coed with. nominating speeches for
president. First came the nomination
|of Cannon, by Representative Bou-
tell of Illinois; seconded by Repre-
sentative Fordney OF Michigan,
which awakened a welcoming yell
for the Grand Old Man. OF Him

Fairbanks, by Governor Hanly, Of In

fusion and constant interruption.

Ispeech second1ng the nomination OF
Fairbanks with a cutting allusion on

The convention gave enthusiastic
welcome to the name OF Hughes as
General Woodford presented the gov
ernor's candidacy in fervent words.
The name Of Senator Foraker was
|placed in nomination by Judge G. B.
Mccoy, Of Ohio. and seconded by the
eloquent negro delegate from Georg-
liza, w. o. Emery, the latter winning a
true ovation as he closed his splen-
ibid tribute to Foraker in the name

Chicago, June 1S.--At the close of
Burton's speech nominating Taft, a
demonstration broke forth with
cheers. Delegates stood on chairs
waving flags, using megaphones and
other noise making machines. A
large banner with Taft's portrait
was hoisted and paraded through
the aisles. Texas posts were raised
on the top of a pole and several
delegations started marching about
the hall. The demonstration grew
more noisy and at 8. o'clock had
lasted ten minutes.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 19.-For presi-
dent Of the United States, William
H. Taft, of Ohio.
Taft on first ballot, Taft by 702
votes; Taft by 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 nerve-racking continuous ses-
sion. of nearly eight hours. With
the president named and the plat
form enunciated there, remains only
the nomination of the vice presi-
dent to complete this momentous
work. Last night the whole city was
given over to wild exultation in hon
or OF the new candidate whose name
goes echoing through the country.
The picture within the walls OF the
vast ampitheatre as the presidential
candidate was named yesterday was
one truly grandiose in its magnitude.
In front, to right and left, below
and above, a billowing sea of hui
manity, restless after hours Of wait
ing and stirred from one emotion to
another, was in fever Of expect
ancy for the eliminating vote. Fav-
orita sons Of other states had been
named; save Knox and LaFollette,
and now on roll call came Ohio. AS
the Buckeye state was reached, the
tall gaunt form Of Theodore q. Bur-
ton, with stud dentlike face and severe
black clerical garb, advanced to the
platform to nominate Ohio's candi-
date. He spoke fervently, with the
singing voice Of an evangelist, which
went ringing through the great build
ing.
The close Of his speech Of nomin-
alton was the signal for loosing the
long pent-up feelings Of the Taft le-
gions. Instantly the Ohio delegates
were on their feet, other Taft states
following, while the convention hosts
in galleries and on the floor, broke
into made demonstrations.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is 1t, then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear flown faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs. and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work, and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain fin the back is only a warning of trouble in the Kidneys. An inham- nation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.
 Too much or too little urine, with c constant desire to void tte secTe- tons: any noticeable deviation from the normal color: the appearance of . sandy sediment proves . disor-

ANTIBETTING BILLS FATE.
Crucial Stage Reached In New York
 Senate's Debate on Measures.

Senate's Debate on Measures.
 Albany. N. r., April 1.-All eyes are now fixed upon the senate, where il decisive battle is taking place over the advancement of the Agnew-Hart bills, embodying the recommendation of Governor Hughes that the legal pro lection of gambling at race tracks in the state be abolished Seldom has an important legislative proposition come to the crisis with such entire nncer- ta'nty as to the result Impartial ob- servers admit themselves almost en- tirely in the dark.
 There are three points at which the conflict over the bills is being bitterly waged. First over an attempt to strike out the amendment putting the pro posed laws into effect Sept. 1; second, over a proposal to substitute the as them the benefit both of the passage in the assembly and of the progress of the senate bills in the senate, and, third, over the advancement of either pair of bills to the order of final con sideration.
 Even should the bills be thus ad. vanced it is unlikely that final consid- eration can be reached now, and the last struggle, which, If won by the friends of the bills, would send them to the governor, will probably be de- ferred until next week. But the lines will probably have to be drawn now, and if the opponents of the measures are in the majority, as they say they are, the legislation can be killed al most as decisively now as at later date. If, on the other hand, the friends of the bills have the votes to advance them it would seem to make theil final passage at least more probable.

 What if he should never love me?' was the one sharp thought which pierc- ed her pride of him.
 The people were proud. too. as he sat there controlling the white war horse, with its gold and silver ':rappings, the crusted jewels of many orders spar king on his breast, while he sauted his subjects in his soldiers way.
 For a moment there was pause, save for shouting, which rose and rose again. Then he alighted, where upon important looking men with rib bons and decorations came forward, lowing, to receive the emperor. The ceremony of unveiling the statue of Rhaetia was about to begin.
 To reach the great crimson draped platform on which he was to stand the emperor must pass within few yards of Virginia. His gaze flashed over the gay crowd. What if it should rest upon her? The girls heart was in her throat. She could feel it beat ing there. and for a moment the tall white figure was lost in mist which dimmed her eyes
 She had forgotten how she came to this place of vantage, forgotten the pale man in gray and red to whom she owed her good fortune, but suddenly, while her heart was at it's loudest and the mist before her eyes at its thick est, she grew conscious again of his existence, poignantly conscious of his close presence. So near her he stood that quick start, a gathering of his muscles for spring. shot like an cleo tric message through her own body.
 The mist was burnt up in the flame of a strange enlightenment, clarity of vision which showed not only the hero of the day, the throng and the wax white man beside her, but some thing which was in the soul of that man as well.
 He is going to kill the emperor"
 It was as if voice spoke the words in her ear. She knew now why she had struggled to win this place, why she had succeeded, what she had to do or die in failing to do.
 Leopold was not half dozen yards away and was coming nearer. No one but Virginia suspected evil. She alone had felt the thrill of murderers nerves, the tense spring of his mus cles. She alone guessed what the roll of parchment hid.
 'Now-now"' the voice seemed to whisper again. and she had no fear.
 While the crowd shouted wildly for "Unser Leo!' man in gray and red leaped, catlike. at the white figure that advanced. Something sharp and bright flashed out from a roll of parchment, the sun in streak of steely light. ~.
 Leopold saw, but not in time to swerve. The crowd shrieked, rushed forward too late, and the blade would have drunk his life had not the girl
