The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1908-06-26

distinguishing where the La Toilette
cheers ended and those for Roosevelt
began.
Amid this plndemonium and with
the galleries in full contrl, Chairman
Lodge decided upon theoric action in
order again to make the convention
master of its affairs. He ordered the
roll caK of States to begin for the vote
on President. Such a call under such
circumstances of intense confusion has
probably never before occurred in the
history of national conventions.
The Secretary was powerless to make
his call of the States heard above the
deafening clamor. Selling a mega
phone ne shoutde the roll of States
Alabama, Arkensas"-but his voice
was swallowed up in the mad uproar
Gradually, however. the curiosity of
the multitude conquered their enthu-
siasm and they lapsed into silence
to hear the result of the roll call.
A hush of expectancy hung over the
assembly as the call proceeded. Has
ty summaries showed that Taft was
far in advance.
When New York was reached the
Taft column totaled APT. OHIO carried
the Taft total to 5l1, or twenty more
than enough to nominae. Still the call
went on until the final result was an
nounced by Chairman Lodge.
For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes;
for Joseph b. Foreaker,of Ohio 16
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks, of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph G. Can
non, of Illinois, 81 votes; for Robert
La Toilette, Of wisconsin, 25 votes;
for Charles f. Hughes. of New York,
90 votes ; for Pnilander c. Knox of
Pennsylvania, 6S votes, and fsr William
H. Taft. of ONO, 702 votes"
Great shout went up as Lodge con-
Guided his announcement, and with one
accord the cohorts of Cannon and
Knox and Hughes and the other heroes
joined N a common tribute for the can
didate Of the party.
Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford, for Gov.
Hughes, leaping upon a chair, moved
70 make the nomination of Taft unan-
imous; Senator Penrose, for Knox and
Boutell, for Cannon, and Henry, of
Georgia, for Foreaker and Cochens, of
Wisconsin, for La Follett, seconded

NEXT AND FINAL DAY.
Taft and Sherman. This is the tick
ct me Republican party flung to the
breezes last Friday as the National Re.
publican Convention concluded with
the nomination of James S. Sherman OF
New York, for Vice President amid a
final roar of tumultuous demonstra-
ton.
Again the vast assembly was swept
with waves on wvesi adnd wild exultant
clamor as the multitude realizing that
az last the work was done and the rec
ord made upon which the Republican
party goes before the country, united
in one last mighty outburst of enthusi
astic tribute 10 the men VINO will bear
forward the standard in the struggle
now at hand.
Another inspiring picture was pre-
sented as tine convention named its
candidate for Vice Preident. The en-
ormOuss thrOngs mad waited through
an hour of oratory, sweltering in the
heat-laden atmosphere, packed as be-
fore into solid masses of humanity,
with only mere and there a few vacant
spots in the remote gallery-the dele
gates in the broad arena below, the
bright hued sprigs of feminity in the
c.rcling galleries and over all the en-
veloping folds Of "old glory"
From the outset it was distinctly a
Sherman crowd, with galleries already
trained INTO choruses of Sherman songs
and an invading host of Sherman
marcners starting the echoes ringing
with a huge portrait Of the New York
candidate.
On the call of States, Delaware YIELD
ed 10 New York and ex-Lieut. Gov.
Timotn l.. Woodruff mounted the plat
form for a glowing speech placing in
nomination Sherman as New York's
choice for the Wee Presidency.
Now came a surprise, as the vener-
able Cannon with MS Lincoln-llke Wis
age and scraggy beard emerged from
the Illinois delegation and stepping to
the platform was yielded unanimous
consent 70 Second the nomination of
Sherman.
Sucn a picture of study, homely,
plain American citizenship as Cannon
presented as he advanced before the
tnrong wnich r3se ID do aim homage,
has never before been seen before a
national convention.
The vote resulted in SIG out Of $50
for Sherman.
