ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call of the states
heard above the deafening clamor.
Selling megaphone he shouted the roll
ofstates Alabama Arkansas his
voice was swallowed up in the mad up
roar. Gradually, however, the curiosity
of the multitude conquered their en-
thusiasm and they lapsed into silence
to hear the result of the call. A hush
of expectancy hung over the assembly
as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
I was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totalled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to 511,
or 20 more than enough to nominate.
Still the call went on until the final re-
suit was announced by Chairman
l Lodge:
..For Theodore Roosevelt, 8 votes
for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio Is votes :
! for Charles w. Fairbanks, Indiana, 40
4 votes; for Joseph G. Cannon Of Illinois,
+ 81 votes; for Robert LaFollette of
Wisconsin, rs votes; for Charles E..
Hughes of New York, 63 votes, and for
William II. Taft of Ohio, 702 votes. +"
4 A great shout went up as Lodge con-
l cluded his announcement, and with one
1 accord the adherents of Knox, Cannon
and Hughes and the other heroes join
4 ed in a common tribute for the candi-
date of the party.
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, for Gov
ernor Hughes, leaping on chair,
moved to make the vote for Taft un-
animous; Senator Penrose for Knox,
BouteH for Cannon, Henay of Georgia
! for Foraker and Cochems of Wisconsin
for LaFollette seconded the movement
4 for a unanimous vote to the candidate.
Il The vote was given with ringing
! cheer, and then, with shouts of exulta-
7 ton over the new candidate the con-
vention adjourned until 10 90 O'Clock
tomorrow morning, when the nomina-
tion for vice-president will be adopted.
