DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. June 22.
The changes in the cattle market
last week were very slight here and
good cattle are about steady with
week ago. The demand for anything
desirable was very strong and offer
ings were picked up in short order.
Common stuff was dull and the ten
dency of prices was lower. Beef
steers sold mostly at $3.50 to $3.50.
but nothing SO very good here and
choice kinds would have brought con
siderably more money. A bunch of
choice heifers sold at $3.50, the high
price Of the year for this class of stuff,
while best cows brought s5.35- Good
TO choice cows sold at $4.75 to s5.25
and the fair to good at S4.25 to $4.75.
Common cows, especially the thin
Gamer stuff, were very slow and dull
There was very little trading in the
feeder and stocker market. and no ma
terial change in conditions from the
close of last week. Good steers are
meeting with fair demand and steady
but the tendency on the common STUFF
Is downward.
Hog supply was very good last week
The demand was fair but packers were
more or less bearish in the bids and
the trade was duh at times. Prices
rule a little higher than a week ago
with bulk now quotable at $3.50 to
$500 and tops selling around $50
All hogs are now sold here absolutely
on their own merits. regardless Of the
point of origin.
The sheep market was quiet and
very little trading done. The local de
mand is strong and prices are firm.
Good lambs sold up TO $3.50 during the
week and sheared ewes brought $3.50.

Amid this panQemOnlum, and with
the galleries in full control, Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action in
order again to make the convention
master of Its affairs He ordered the
roll call of states to begin for the
vote on president. Such a call under
such circumstances of intense con-
fusion. has probably never before oc-
CURED in the history of national con-
ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call of the states
heard above the deafening clamor
Selling a megaphone he shouted the
roll of states-Alabama, Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uprcar. Gradually. however, the
curiosity of the multitude conquered
their enthusiasm, 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.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaied

heroes. Joined in a common tribute for

Sherman for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice-presi-
dency was not made until Friday.
When the convention adjourned for

garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled. but before the del
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates

that nominations were in order. Sher.
man was named as New York's choice
by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant
governor of the state; Gov. Curtis
Guild of Massachusetts was placed in
nomination by Senator Lodge, and Ex-
Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey
was named by Thomas N. McCarter.
Several brief seconding speeches were
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun IT was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu-
lar choice of the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to insure
hi3 nomination Senator Crane of
Massachusetts moved that it be made
unanimous and it was carried with a
shout Of approval
The usual motions of acknowlede-
ment to the officers of the convention
and to the city in which it was held
were then passed.

PLATFORM AT A GLANCE.

Roosevelt
The abuse OF wealth. the tyranny
of power. and the evils of privilege
and favoritism have been put to
scorn by him. We pledge a con-
tinuance of the Roosevelt policies.
Anti-injunction-
The Republican party will uphold
the authority of the courts. but be-
lieves the rules of procedure in
federal courts with respect to in
functions should be more accurate
ly defined by statute. and that no
injunction should be issued without
notice.
Labor
The same wise policy will be pur-
sued to tighten the burdens of all
who toll.
Tariff
The Republican party declares
for a revision of tariff by a special
session of congress. We favor the
establishment of maximum and
minimum rates.
Money
An expanding commerce
and increasing crop movements
disclose the need OF a more elas-
tic and adaptable system.
Trusts
The government should have
greater supervision over corpora
tions engaged in interstate COM
merce.

hensive plan to improve the water
ways. harbors. and great lakes.

not desire and will not provoke a
war with any other country, we
nevertheless declare our devotion

fend her traditional doctrines.
Good Roads
We approve the efforts of the ag-
ricultural department In good road

Negroes
We condemn all devices for the
disfranchisement of the negro.
Republican Policy
The difference between Democn
racy and Republicanism is that
one stands for vacillation and IT,

for strength and purpose. Demoo-

the people. while Republioanism
would have the people own the ma

Chicago. TAFT and Sherman.
This is the ticket of the Repub-
lican party flung to the breeze Fri
day as the Republican national con
vention concluded with the nomination
of James S. Sherman of New York
for vice-president amid final roar of
tumultuous demonstration.
Scene Of Wild Enthusiasn.
The picture within the walls of the
vast amphitheater as the presidential
candidate was named Thursday was
one truly gradiose in its magnitude.
In front, to the right and left, below
and above, the billowing sea OF hui
manity. restless after hours OF wait
ing and stirred from one emotion to
another. was in fever of expectancy
for the eliminating vote. The favorite
sons of other states had been named,
save Knox and La Toilette. and now
on the roll call came Ohio.
As the Buckeye state was reached,
the tall. gaunt form Of Theodore Z.
Burton, with student-like face and
severe black clerical garb, advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio's can
didate. He spoke fervently, with the
singing voice OF an evangelist, which
went ringing through the great build
ing. The close OF his speech of
nomination Yves the signal for loosing
the long pent-up feeling OF the Taft
legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates
were on their feet, other Taft states
following. while the convention hosts.
in gallery and on floor, broke into mad
demonstration. For 10, 15, 20 minutes,
this uproar continued. At last the
tired voices died down to a hoarse
shout. and subsidized.
Seconded by Knight.
This lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nom
ination, by George H. Knight of Cali
fornia. his big. round face beaming
forth on the sympathetic multitude
and his splendid baritone voice we'll
ing forth like the tones of a great
church organ. Californias tribute to
Taft was brief and fervid. Now there
was another lull in the Taft movement,
while the remaining candidates were
placed in nomination.
1t was late in the afternoon before
the convention, now literally swelter-
ing with the intense heat and weary
after nearly seven hours of continuous
session, reached the end of the flood
of eloquence and the decks were at
last cleared for the eliminating act.
Demonstration for La Toilette.
But, no; Just as the last swell of
oratory. the seconding speech for La
Toilette. had died away. like a cyclone
from clear sky burst La Toilette
demonstration which swept the con-
vention from its very bearings. 1t
was the same deafening wave or sound
that had greeted Roosevelt Wednesday
and Taft a little while before. intense
and maddening and with the vital ring
Of genuine enthusiasm. 1t seemed as
though Wisconsin had suddenly peo-
pied every foot of the galleries. The
delegates sat cain and waiting, ex-
cept the frantic Wisconsins. but the
convention for the time being was In
the possession of the galleries.
Now singular Transformation oc-
Cured = gradually the whirlwind
seered from La Toilette to Roosevelt.
