The Roosevelt Yell.

Chicago.-The second day of the Re
publican national convention brought
the long expected Roosevelt yell. a
whirlwind of enthusiasm which ragged
within the vast amphithcater of the
Coliseum for fully forty-five minutes,
I for a time presenting to the timid the
specter of Roosevelt stampede.
This demonstration was decidedly
the feature OF day otherwise notable
for n stirring speech from the perma-
nent chairman of the convention, Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
sets. for much practical procedure
in placing the convention on a smooth
running basis. and for final defeat for
the plan to reduce the representation
of Southern states at future national
conventions.
Probably the most important act of
the day, and the one having greatest
significance. was the adoption of the
report of the committee on credentials
seating the Taft delegations practi-
cally in toto. If there has been any
lingering doubt of the Taft strength
1t disappeared before this decisive ac-
ton. which in effect placed more than
700 delegates in the Taft column.
Equally important and even more re-
markable was the final acceptance of
this result of the allies" without the
formality of a dissenting minority re-
pert and without carrying the question
to the floor of the convention for the
open fight which has long been threat
ened.
The report on permanent organiZa-
tion was then presented by Chairman
Brocker of Cincinnati. The announce
ment that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
had been chosen for permanent chair
man called out applause, especially
from the Massachusetts, delegation
The report, save in this particular,
made permanent the temporary off

ously engaged in weighty tasks and
each successive service has been char
acterized by an increasing influence
upon most vital questions.
with his ever-ready skill as a pa
cificator, he restored tranquility in
the fertile island of Cuba. so often dis
tracted by civil strife. In the far-off
Philippines. under a blazing tropical
sky, he found a people Of many races
and tribes, degraded by centuries OF
misrule and oppression, and there, TOO,
he not only established the rule of
law and local control in place of con
fusion and bloody strife, but showed
the way to self-government and a new
recognition of the rights of man. For
peoples and races. like individuals, un-
der the inspiration of a. friendly guide,
may lift their faces heavenward and
seek to climb the great worlds altar
stairs to nobler heights of liberty and
opportunity. 1t is to his lasting honor
that his desire was not to be known
as Taft. the proconsul,' but as Taft,
the father of the Filipinos, who
brought to them the light of modern
civilization.
In the larger sphere of world poll
tics we are entering into new and clos
er bonds with all the nations OF the
earth. Who is better qualified than he
to lead America to her true position
in this later day when the boundaries
established in the centuries past are
becoming less distinct and Kingdoms
and races are beginning to realize that
they have all one common destiny?
And so today in the presence OF
more than 10000. and with the inspir
ing thought of the well-nigh 10000
times 10000 who dwell within our
borders. / nominate for the presidency
that perfect type of American man
hood. that peerless representative of
the noblest ideals in our national life.
