steadily to SIG out of the total $50.
The official vote was as follows:

Nebraska, 10.
Senator Lodge was appointed
chairman of the committee to notify
Taft and Senator Burrows headed
the committee to notify Sherman.
Chairman Lodge, who is going
abroad during the summer, requested
that Senator William Warner, of Mis-
souri,, past ommander-in-chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, be
substituted in his place. The resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted.
The convention then, at 11.47 a.
m, adjourned without day.
At 1919 a, M, Senator Lodge, the
permanent chairman, let fall his
gavel and called the third session of
the fourteenth Republican National
Convention to order The hall was
filled The vast crowd which had
gathered to witness the proceedings
of the conventions most important
day was interspersed with many
brightly gowned women, and almost
all of the spectators carried flags.
Senator Lodge introduced the Rev.
John Wesley Hill, of the Metropolitan
Temple, New York, who delivered the
opening prayer, the delegates stand

Then after few minutes delay,
while the late delegates found their
seats, Senator Fulton, of Oregon,
made motion to the effect that
George H, Williams, the last surviv-
ing member of Grants Cabinet, have
a seat on the speakers platform, and
this was done.
Senator Lodge at 1890 exactly in

victory in November will be ours"
there was demonstration in the In
diana delegation, in which several of
the Ohio delegates generously took
part.
Mayor Bookwalter of Indianapolis,
then, made his way to the stage and
seconded the Fairbanks nomination.
He spoke extempore.
When Mr.. Bookwalter had finished
the call of the States was resumed,
and there was no response until New
York was reached.
Then General Stewart l.. Woodford
rose to nominate Governor Hughes.
He was cheered Justify by members
of the New York delegation, in which
several other sections of the hall

of the New York men. In less than
three minutes, however. quiet reigned
again and the call of States contin-

in his finest megaphone voice at FIT
O'Clock In an instant most of the
delegates were on their feet. In
diana, Illinois and most of New York
sat still, but even Wisconsin took UP
the Taft cry. The galleries did their
share, but they were not so demon
strative that Theodore e. Burton, the
Taft nominator, did not have perfect
silence in three minutes.

Continuing the call of the roll from
Rhode Island down, there came no re-
spending voice until Wisconsin was
reached, and Henry F. Cochems, of
Milwaukee, came forward to nomin-
ate Senator La Toilette.
The nomination of La Toilette was
seconded by C. A. A. MCGEE, of Wis
consin. A wild cheer greeted him as
he closed, and the demonstration that
followed exceeded in intensity that
which had greeted the presentation
of any other candidate except Taft.
Chairman Lodge, abandoning all
effort to still the crowd, ordered Sec
rotary Malloy to continue the call of
the delegations. This was done in
the midst of terrific uproar. The
chairman then announced in a tone
which, although strained to the ut
most, could be heard only few feet
away:
THAT completes the roll of the
States and the roll call will now be
had for the vote. We will not wait a
minute longer"
The call was completed at $40,

Judge Spooner, last evening, at

Clenahan, said the speaker, have
administered we'll. Senator Nc
Carthy has heard of no one, and
knew of none, who wished that
Judge Spooner would retire from the
bench. The two judges of the Fiji
teenth Judicial district were con-
sidered as being among the best,
if not the very best, judges in the
state. Lawyers in other districts,
who have practiced here, were unani-
nous in their complimentary re-
marks and expressions of sur
prise that the district possessed such
splendid jurists; and the home law
yers were of the same opinion No
other person could equal a lawyer
in reasoning power. When a judge
states on the bench his reasons for
ruling, you listen to his reasoning
and can determine the conditions
of his mind. When the bar as unit
make announcement that the bench

of this district is unequaled in the
state, you can depend on the asser-
ton that the judge now retiring
stands among the best.
Senator Mccarthy spoke very
earnestly concerning the attempt
that has been made in the legisla-
ture to secure larger salaries for the
judges of this district, and asserted
that it was a shame that learned men
who sat on the bench listened to
lawyers who were receiving much
more money for their services than
the judges. He was not surprised
that an energetic young man should
quit the bench for the bar, under
such conditions.
In closing, Senator Mccarthy said
that the intended departure of Judge
Spooner was regretted by the bar
and the people alike. He could only
say that he hoped that in the new
field the judge would take the strong
position he should at the bar in the
state of Washington, and he would
not be greatly surprised if the Judge
would some day be elected to serve
on the federal bench, fitting COM

BIG SAWMILLS ARE READY

Mills We're Run Yesterday, Everything Worked Nicely.
Will Run on Ten'Hour Day Shifts Only During
the Coming Summer.

The Crookston and Bemidji Lum-
Der companies began operations
in the local sawmills yesterday
morning, and will soon be running
steadily; and the hoarse announce

whistles on the two plants is a
welcome sound to residents of this
place, as it announces the begin

of the principal industries in this
community.
Both companies ran their mills
temporarily on Tuesday and tried
out their machinery, preparatory
to beginning the seasons work
yesterday. Everything moved along
nicely and the machinery gave
entire satisfaction, indicating that
the repairing done during the win

This seasons work has been
commenced three days later than
the time the Crookston mill
started last year, which was on the
% of March.
The Bemidji Lumber company is
newly-organized concern, the mill
having been erecting here last fall,
and this is their initial season of
