WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT 27th PRESIDENT

order again to make the convention of
it's affairs. He ordered the roll of the
states to begin for the vote on presi-
dent. Such call, under such circum-
stances, had probably never before oc-
cured in the history of national con-
ventions. The secretary was powerless
to make the call of the states heard
above the deafening clamor Selling a
megaphOne 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 enthusiasm,
and they lapsed into silence to hear
the result of the call. A hush of ex-
pectancy hung over the house as the
call proceeded. When New York was
reached the Taft column totalled 427.
Ohio carried it to 511, or twenty more
than enough to nominate. When the
final result was announced by Lodge
a great shout went up and with one
accord the adherents of Cannon, Knox,
Hughes and the others joined in Il
common tribute for the candidate of
the party.
Woodford, for Hughes, leaping upon
a chair, moved to make the nomination
unanimous; Penrose for Knox, BOu-
tell for Cannon, Emory of George for
Foraker, and Cochems of Wisconsin for
La Toilette, seconding the movement,
there was a unanimous vote for the
candidate. The vote was given with
ringing cheer, then with shouts Of
exultation over the new candidate.
The convention adjourned until to-
morrow morning, when the nomination
for vice president will be made.
Earlier in the day. the battle over the
platform occupied the close attention
of delegates and spectators. The plat
form as framed by the committee on
resolutions was read by Chairman
Hopkins of Illinois. while a minority
report, reflecting the view of the sup
pOrters of La Toilette was presented
by Cooper Of Wisconsin.
The platform was adopted by an
overwhelming vote after many separ-
ate planks of the Wisconsin plank had
been buried under adverse votes.
COMPLAINED OF STEAM "ROL-
LER."
II was not until four hours had been
spent over the platform that the con-
vention was ready TO proceed with the
nominating speeches for president.
First came the nomination of Cannon
by BouteH of Illinois, seconded by
Fordney of Michigan. The nomination
speech for Fairbanks by Governor
Hanley was made amid intense con-
fusion and a constant interruption.
Smarting under the discOurtesies to-
ward the governor Mayor BoOlNwalter
of Indianapolis began a speech second
ing the nomination of Fairbanks with a
cutting allusion to the steam roller

Such is the record of the culmina-
ing day of the republican national con
vention of 1908, effected amid scens
of tumultuous enthusiasm, after a
erve-racking continued session las
ing nearly eight hours.
With the president named and tie
platform enunciated, there rema1s
only the nomination of vice presidnt
to complete the momentous work.
The picture within the walls of. he
vast ampitheatre as the presidenial
candidate was named today was me
truly of grand magnitude. In front to
the right and left, below and abve
was a billowing sea of humanity, rst-
less after hours of waiting, stirred fom
one emotion to another, and a feye Of
expectancy for the eliminating NOte.

been named, save Knox and La 'ol

the long pent up feeling of tn Taft
legions. Instantly the Ohio deh.htion
was on their feet, the other Tafstates

Mr.. Burton said:
This convention enters upon the
grave responsibility of selecting a
presidential candidate with the serene
assurance that the republican party

assembled multitude in any land has
ever pointed the way to such benefit
cent results for home and for the pro-
gress 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 emphasize,
even more, its supreme qualification TO
solve the problems of the present.
1t 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 a continent to lay them at
your feet Here IL was that the right

notes of thunderOus acclaim, enrap-
tured thrOngs greeted the naming of
Garfield, of Blaine, of Harrison, and
of Roosevelt

after nearly seven hours of continuous
session had reached the end of the
flood of elOquence that the decks were
at least cleared for the seconding
speech for LaFOllette.
When the cheers following the speech
had died away, like a cyclone from a
clear sky. burst a La Toilette demon
stration which swept the convention
from its very bearings. 1t was the
same deafening wave sound that greet
ed Roosevelt yesterday and Taft, a lit
tie while before, an intense maddening
vital ring of genuine enthusiasm.

THE TAFT DEMONSTRATION.
For ten, fifteen, yes, twenty minutes,
the uproar continued. 1t was a repe-
tition of the scene yesterday when the
name of Roosevelt brought the con-
ventiOn into frenzy but was repeated
in intensity, almost in duration. But
there is a limit of the physical resour-
ces of the throat and lungs. Relays
had not been established, the tired
voices died down to n hOarse shout
which at last subsided. The lull now
gave opportunity for the speech sec
Onding Taft's nomination by George A.
Knight of California, his big round
face beaming forth on the sympathetic
multitude and his splendid baritone
voice going forth like the tones of a
great church organ. CalifOrnia's trib-
ute to Taft was brief but fervid. Now
there was another lull of the Taft
movement while the remaining candi-
dates were placed in nomination.
1t was late in the afternoon before
the convention, now literally swelter-
