SECRETARY OF WAR
ROOSEVELT RECOGNIZES MERIT
IN THE SOUTH AS IN
THE NORTH.
Wright Was Confederate-Forso
Democracy When Ii Took
Up Free Silver.

Washington, D. c., June 22.-Gen-
eral Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee,
who served throughout the Civil War
as a private in the Confederate army
and who, until his party split on the
free-silver rock in 1896, was a DEM
ocrat born and bred, is to succeed
William Howard Taft as Secretary Of
War. This announcement is official
and was made at the White House
today, after Secretary Taft had pre-
scented his resignation and it had
been accepted to take effect June 80.
No man is more generally popular
in the south today than General
Wright, and none is better qualified
by education and experience to be-
come head of the War Department.
For several years past he has fol-
lowed closely in the footsteps of Sec
rotary Taft, whom he succeeded as
Governor of the Philippines when Mr..
Taft was ordered home to enter Pres
ident Rooseyelts Cabinet.

1902 votes. Taft by the unanimous
choice of the convention.
Such is the record of the culminat-

Convention of 1908, affected amid
scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm and
after a nerve-racking continuous SEES
sion lasting nearly eight hours.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached, the Taft column totaled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to
Sill, or 20 more than enough to nom

the final result was announced by

Governor Hughes, leaping upon a
chair, moved to make the nomination
of Taft unanimous; Senator Penrose,
for Knox; Boutell, for Cannon /;
Henry, of Georgia, for Foraker, and
Cochems, of Wisconsin, for La Fol-
lette, seconded the movement for a
unanimous vote for the candidate,
which was given with a ringing
cheer.
Before the convention assembled
in the morning it was practically GER
