THE CONVENTION.

Chicago, June 18.-For President Of
the United States, William II. Taft of
Ohio.
Taft on the first ballot, Taft by ZOE
votes, Taft by unanimous choice of the
convention.
Such is the record Of the cuIminat-
ing day Of the Republican national
convention of 1908, effected amid
scenes Of tumutuous enthusiasm and
after nerve racking continuous ses-
sion lasting nearly eight hours.
With President named and platform
enunciated, there remains only the
nomination for Vice President to con-
plete this momentous work.
Tonight the whole city is given over
to wild exultation in honor of the new
candidate whose name goes echoing
through the country.
The picture within the walls of the
vast amphitheater as the Presidential
candidate was named today was one

The platform was adopted by an over

pIanks in the Wisconsin plan had been
buried under a vote.
It was not until four hours had boon
spent over the platform that the con-
vention was ready To proceed with the
nomination speeches for President.

ton was the signal for loOSing the
long pcntup feeling of the Taft egions.
Instantly the Ohio delegates We're on
their feet, other Taft states following
while the convention hosts in gallery
and on floor, broke into mad demon
stration.
Taft, Taft, w. II. Taft" came in
a roar from the Ohoans
McgaphOnes seemed to spring from
concealed places and swell the Taft
tumult into thunder. A huge blue silk
banner bearing the familiar features of
the statesman secretary, was swung
before the delegates, awakening a
fresh whirlwnd of enthusiasm.
All semblance of order had been
abandoned and the delegates arena
was a maelstron of gesticulating men;
the guidOns of the states were
snatclled up by the Taft enthusiasts
or borne under by the storm OF dlSor-
dor The band was inaudible, mere
whisper was over the deafening vol
ume of sound. For 10, Is, 20 minutes
this uproar continued. 1t was a repe-
tition of the scene of yesterday when
the name OF Roosevelt threw the con-
vention into a frenzy, repeated in in
tcnsity and almost in duration. But
there is a limit to the physical re-
! sources of threats and lungs. Relays
had not been established and at last
the tired voices died down to d hoarse
shout and at last subsidized.
This lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Tafts nom
nation by George H. Knight of Cali
fornia. whose big. round face beamed
forth on the sympathetic multitude
and whose splendid baritone voice
welled forth like the tones of great
church organ. Calfornia's tribute tc
Taft was brief and ennerved.
Now there was another lull in the

candidates were placed in nomination

waved from the gallery was the signal
for the change, but in the confused
noise there was no distinguishing
where the LaFolctte cheers left off and
those for Roosevelt began.
Amid this pandcmOni,m and with the
galleries in full control, Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action to
make the convention again master of
it's affairs. He ordered the roll call of
states to begin for the vote on Prcsi-
dent. Such a call, under such crcum-
stances of intense confusion, has prob
ably never before occurred in the his
tory of national conventions.
The secretary was powerlcss to make
mis- call of the states heard above the
deafening clamor. Selling a mcgaphone
he shouted the roll of Statcs--Alabama
Arkansas-but his voice was swallowed
up in the mad uproar Gradually. how
ever, the curiosity of the multitude
conquered their enthusiasm and they
lapsed into silence to hear the roll call.
A hush of expectancy 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 totalled All
Ohio carried the Taft total to 5l1, or 20
more than enough to nominate. Still
the call went on until the final result
was announced by Chairman Lodge.

A report reached Pine Bluff yester- day to the effect that a number of white men had fired on lumber camp, at which several negroes were employed near Grapevine in Grant county Friday night. It is stated that the white men object to negro labor CTS being employed by the Grant Lumber Company. Information from that place says the frightened ne- groes walked to Clio, several miles l from the scene of the shooting, and asked for protection, which was fur nished them. Another report says that their homes were fired into by unidentified white men and that all the negroes were ordered to leave the Grapevine neighborilood. The own CTS of the Grant Lumber Company plant say that they are unable to get enough laborers at their mill and camps and that they were forced tC give the negroes employment, no ia voritsm being shown between the races. The trouble at Grapevine is reported to have been only the work of few men and no further trouble is looked for.
