BURTON MADE ABLE
NOMINATING SPEECH

In placing in nomination William
Howard Taft for the presidency, Con
gressman Theodore e. Burton of Ohio,
delivered a mastery address. He
touched briefly upon the achievements
of the Roosevelt administration and
dwelt especially upon the fact that
Secretary Taft was eminently fitted to
continue these policies. Mr.. Burton
said: #
"This convention enters upon the
grave responsibility of selecting a
presidential candidate with the serene
assurance that the Republican party
will continue to rule this people.
What assembled multitude in any
land has ever pointed the way to such
benehcient results for home and for
the progress of the whole human race
as the recurring conventions of this
grand old organization? Yet we do not
rely alone upon the record of that
which it has accomplished. We empha-
size, even more, its supreme qualifica-
ton to solve the problems of the pres
ent.
ut Is especially appropriate that
this gathering should be held in this
marvellous city of Chicago, whence the
steel bands of commerce reach out in
every direction, over plain and river
and mountain, to almost boundless
distance, bringing the richest treas
ures of continent to lay them at your
feet Here it was that the righteous
uprising against slavery and Bourbon
ism, sprung from the nations con
science, raised its first triumphant
voice when Abraham Lincoln was nom
mated. And here, again, with notes o1
thunderous acclaim, enraptured
throngs greeted the naming of Garfield
Of Blaine, of Harrison, and of Roose
welt.

GREEN CLOTHING FOR MEN.
Difference Of Opinion as 70 Whether
II Will Be Worn.

Some Of the shrewdest clothing PEG
pie in the business are putting great
deal OF confidence in greens. in the
belief that they are coming into vogue
TO a degree not hitherto known in
this country. says Mems Wear.
Greens have reached great popu.
larity in London, and in fact through.
out the European continent. where
they are worn very extensively by
men.
While formerly efforts were made in
a way 10 introduce greens here. no
fiattering success has as yet attended
the green innovation for men after
they have reached retail distributors.
Nevertheless greens have been
bought quite extensively for fall by
both manufacturers and retailers. and
the moot question now is, will they
take?
A clothing man who has made con
siderable study Of mems fashions for
practical use in the clothing business
contends that no color OF fabric that
can be made a joke Of will ever be-
come popular with men, and he holds
that any man wearing green at once
becomes the butt OF his friends
humor.
high-class Fifth avenue tailor i'm
ported early in the spring two pieces
OF green cloths. Up to July / he had
sold only three suits OF the two bolts.
Another firm made window displays
OF green suits, and advertised them as
well. but who has seen on Broadway
many men attired in green suits? A
few, yes.
Greens have been and are still
popular in neckwear. hose and among
the fashionable CLASSY" in shirts for
business wear, but for mems clothing
it's predicted green would be too much
Of joke color.
Yet that there are clothing manu-
facturers and retail clothing men. too.
who consider green's good for all sell
ing we have had ample proof OF
through seeing their purchases. which
for fall comprise quite an assortment
OF nev greens. some Of decided green
shade. though designated olive greens.
Green hats have been on the market
for ten or a dozen years. but the
green's introduced early this year be.
came a novelty with the best trade
and an article for window exhibits
with the general trade. but not a popu-
lar color by any means in headwear.
VIII there be many wearing green
clothes when only an isolated few
have green hats?
