the Pennsylvania flyer, which was
carrying him East. Prompt action
of the tower man in signal station

accident.
AS the train was speeding along
at the rate of so miles an hour the
piston rod on the left side OF the
locomotive broke short Off Instant
ly the cylinder of the engine was
cracked by the unmanageable rod.
The train was just approaching
the signal tower east of Coshocton.
The operator saw that something
serious was wrong and threw down
signal to stop the train.
The engineer applied the emer-
gency brakes and the train and six
cars came to a stop on a sharp curve.
The accident occurred at $50 o'clock.
AS many of the passengers on the
train were at dinner in the dining
car, few of them realized how mar
row their escape had been from an
awful accident.
Secretary Taft and National Com.
mitteeman Kellogg entered the din
ing car and sat down to dinner ever
after the accident occurred without
a thought of anything serious in con.
nection with the stopping and delay
of the train. The Secretary made nc

GETTING READY AT DENVER.
Elaborate Scheme OF Decoration For
Convention Hall.

Denver, Col. Especially The mem
bers of the subcommittee on arrange
ments of National Democratic Com
mittee, who come to Denver this
week to remain in session until after
the convention, will be here in time
to see the work of putting the finish
ing touches on the convention hall.
The Auditorium was turned over
to the workmon Monday morning
for the installation of the decorations
that are said 10 be the most elaborate
ever planned for a convention. The
actual construction work on the
building is practically complete, with
the exception of the basement rooms
that will be used by the telegraph
companies and press associations, and
by committees for meeting rooms.
The last of the permanent seats
for the Auditorium were placed in
position in the balconies and CALLER
les. All that remains to be done is
the construction of the temporary
floor over the space that will even
tually be occupied by the orchestra
seats, the building of a speakers
platform. and the installation of the
temporary seats.

by them is hereby doomed to
defeat.
The policy of the Republican
party is to use Government regu-
lation and supervision for the
control of corporations and com
binations, so that these great
and necessary instruments OF
commerce, and business may be
preserved as useful servants,
and not be destroyed because
they have threatened to become
dangerous masters.
This policy is the absolute OPP
posite of Government ownership
and all like measures, advocated
by our opponents, which tend
directly to Socialism and to all
its attendant miseries and evils.
The President has enforced
the laws as he found them on
the statute books. The result
is that he is the best abused
and most popular man in the
United States today.
The Presidents refusal of re-
nomination, dictated by the loft
lest motives, and by noble 10y
atty to American traditions. is
final and irrevocable. Anyone
who attempts to use his name
as a candidate for the Presiden-
cy impugns both his sincerity
and his good faith. The Presi-
dent says what he means and
means what he says.
Although the President re-
tires, he leaves his policies be-
hind him To these policies the
Republican party stands pledged.
We ask the confidence and
support of the American people
because we have met the prob
lens of the day and have tried
patiently to solve them.
We believe in the mainte-
nance of law and order and in
support of the court, i'm all their
rights and dignity. We believe
in equal rights for all men and
are opposed to special pri7 ileges
for any man, or any class OF
men, high or low. rich or poor.
We are pledged TO the cause
of sound finance. We stand for
protection to American industry
and labor. We will see to the
defense of the couptry. We
mean to have a navy worthy or
the American name.

WILLIAM II. TAFT WINS

A STAMPEDE FOR ROOSEVELT IS TRIED
Chairman Lodge Has the Roll Called by Megaphone Amid
Yells for Observation-Disclosures Made Unanimous
on Motion Of All the Rival Candidates
Platform Accepted.

( on their feet, other Taft States fol-
! lowing, while the convention hosts,
in the gallery and on floor, broke into
mad demonstration.
Taft, Taft-W-H-Taft came
| in a roar from the Ohloans. Mega
phones seemed to spring from con-
cealed places and swell the Taft
tumult into thunder. A huge blue
silk banner bearing the familiar fea-
lures of the statesman-secretary was
swung before the delegates, awaking
afresh a whirlwind of enthusiasm.
All semblance of order had been
abandoned and the delegates, arena
was a maelstrom of gesticulating
men; the guidons of the States were
\ snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts
or borne under by the storm of dis
| order. The band was inaudible--a
mere whisper above the deafening
volume of sound. For 10, 10 then
20 minutes, this uproar continued. 1t
was a repetition of the scene of the
day before when the name of Roose-
welt threw the convention into a fren-
zy, repeated in intensity and almost
| in duration. But there is a limit
to the physical resources of throat
and lung; relays had not been estab.
| ished, and at last the tired voices
died down to a hoarse shout, and at
| last subslded.
This lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nomi-
nation by George II. Knight, of Cali
fornia, his big, round face beaming
forth on the sympathetic multitude
and his splendid barytone voice swell
ing forth like the tones of a great
church organ. California's tribute to
Taft was brief and fervid Now there
was another lull in the Taft move
ment, while the remaining candidates
were placed in nomination.
II was late in the afternoon before

the convention, now literally swelter-
ing with the intense heat and weary
after nearly seven hours of continu-
Gus session, reached the end of the
flood of eloquence, and the decks
were at least clear for the culminat-
ing act-the ballot. But no, just as
the last swell of oratory, the second
ing speech for Lafollette, had died
away, like cyclone from clear sky
burst Lafollette demonstration,
which swept the convention from its
very bearings. 1t seemed as though

CHAIRMAN LODGE PLEDGES HIS
PARTY TO PRESIDENTS
POLICIES

No political party in modern
times can show such a record of
achievement during the last SO
years as the Republican party.
The Republican party has
never failed except when it has
faltered. Our long career of vic
tory has been due to our meet
ing each question as 1t arose.
1t is a huge size of private
fortunes, the vast extent and
power of modern combinations
of capital, made possible by our
present conditions, which have
brought upon us problems por-
tentousi and threatening not on
ly our social and political well
fare, but even our personal free
dom. II they are not boldly met
and wisely solved.
Under the lead of the Presi-
dent the party has grappled with
the new problems born of the
new conditions. The response
of the people to the policies
urged by the President has been
so emphatic that it has been
made clear, once for all, that the
Government of the United States
is never to be dominated by
money and financial interests,
and that the political party
which permits itself to be ruled

What The Night Was About.

The Republican party will up
hold at all times the authority
and integrity of the courts, State
and Federal, and will ever insist
that their powers to enforce their
process and to protect life, liberty
and property shall be preserved
inviolate. We believe, however,
that the rule of procedure in the
Federal courts with respect to the
issuance of the writ of injunction
should be more accurately defined
by statute, and that no Injunction
or temporary restraining order
should be issued without notice,
except irreparable injury would
result from delay, In which case
a speedy hearing thereafter should
be granted"

The Vote.

The committees to notify the can
diuates were officially promulgated,
Senator William Warner, of Missouri,
past commander in chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic. being
selected to head the delegation that
will call upon Secretary Taft. and
Senator j. G. Burrows, of Michigan,
being placed at the head of the COM
mittee to notify Mr.. Sherman.
Before the Convention assembled
it was practically certain that the
Vice Presidency would go to Mr..
Sherman. A large number of States
had indorsed his candidacy in caucus,
and it spread like wildfire. The New
York delegation solidly stood back of
Mr.. Sherman, and when the voting
began there was rush of delegates
to fall in line, victory being assured
to the New York Representative long
before the roll had been half COM
pleted.
Speaker Cannon appeared unex-
pectedly upon the floor of the Con-
vention, and, by unanimous consent,
the privilege was granted him of
making the seconding speech for Mr..
Sherman. who had been placed in
nomination by Timothy L. Woodruff,
chairman of the New York delega-
ton.
