Temporary Chairman

Amid scenes of stirring enthusiasm,
the Republican national convention of
1908 began its deliberations at Chi
cago in the presence of an assemblage
estimated at upward Of fourteen thou
sand people, with the sounds of patri-
otto airs alternating with the frenzied
shouts for Roosevelt, Taft and other
popular heroes, the first tocsin of the
coming struggle from the graceful ora
tor of Michigan, Senator Burrows, and
Che initial formalities which started
this momentous gathering into motion.
The opening session lasted less than
two hours and was less notable for
business accomplished than for the op-
portunity it afforded of seeing again
the stirring picture of the people as
sembled from every corner Of the coun-
try to select candidate for President
of the United States. The actual work
Of the day was quickly accomplished,
and the various important committees

We have heard so much of the
yellow peril that we forget the
other color peril, the black peril.
What is the latest symptom OF this
trouble? 1t is not bad for the
black man, but detrimental to the
white man. In other words, the
black man is becoming the more skill
ed in industrial pursuits, and the
day is not entirely out OF sight IN
the distant future when all the
work of the south, along skilled
lines, will be done by the black man
if the white man doesn't begin to
educate himself in these branches.
What is the trouble? 1t certainly
can't be true that the whites can't
do this work, so it must be true
that they wont. If they fear Negro
domination of the South they are
putting this best of all weapons into
the black mans hands by their
neglect of this important branch
of education. When the Negro
gains such foothold that he dom
mates trade, then his chance to
dominate the south is that much
advanced.

The first ballot at the Nationa

The first ballot at the National
Convention made Hon. William H,
Taft the standard bearer of the Rep
lican party in this campaign. This
action by the Convention was sim
ply a ratification of the sentiment Of
the party at large. Our candidate
is so well known and his qualifica-
tions are so well understood that the
country feels as if it were approach
ing the actual election rather than
having just passed the nominating
scene. The people have considered
the man from the standpoint of his
judicial mind, his poise, his far
seeing administrative ability, his
calm Judgment, his honesty of pur-
pose and his tact, and we know that
he is the man to bear this country
along on the wave Of Roosevelt's
policies to the high crest of Taft's
policies. His policy will not be re-
dictionary but progressive. He is
the man of all others for our next
president.
The Presidential ticket will be
Taft and Sherman, as Hon. James
S. Sherman was nominated for
vice president on the first ballot, at
the Chicago convention, Friday.
This is a strong combination.
This issue Of the Opinion has been
delayed a few hours that the Con
vention's action might be included
in our news Columns. We feel that
our patrons will appreciate the
efforts we have made to bring this
important event to their homes,
without delay.

Enthusiasm Breaks Loose

THE fevered fancy of an uneasy
dream" was his indictment hurled at
the visionary policies of opposition
parties. The applause had hardly died
away when Lodge launched his SEN

into its first real demonstration of wild
enthusiasm.

was the long awaited signal. Instantly
a shout broke from the galleries and
was echoed back from the floor, at first
only a tempest of detached yells and
catcalls and shouts of Teddy" but
gradually gathering force and volume
until it swelled to a whirlwind of sound
and motion as delegates and spectators
arose en- masse, mounting chairs, wav
ing banners, hats, handk erchiefs, flags,
newspapers, anything which could be
seized upon to add turbulence to the
scene.

"Four, Four, Four Years More"

For the first minute, Lodge stood
waiting to proceed, occasionally rails
ing his hand for silence, only to awaken
a defiant yell twice louder than before.
Five minutes passed, and instead of
abating, the uproar was increasing.
The sergeant-at-arms moved up a chair
for the presiding officer, and Lodge
sank back to await lull in the storm.
This demonstration was decidedly
the feature of day otherwise notable
by stirring speech from Permanent
Chairman Lodge, for much practical
procedure in placing the convention on
a smooth running basis, and for the
final defeat Of the plan to reduce the
representation of southern states at
future national conventions.
Probably the most important act of
the day was the adoption of the report
of the committee on credentials, seat
Eng the Taft delegations practically
in toto. If there had been any linger-
Five minutes-ten minutes-tfteen

lery, as if preconcerted, each -four,
