sible Detection Of Strength.

Chicago.-The Taft managers, in or
der to fully conserve the interests OF
their candidate, early in the day Of
the third session Of the national con-
Nention, placed on the floor of the
convention, but not in the capacity OF
ither delegates or alternates, num-
Der of the most prominent men in the
party who are attached to the Taft
candidacy. The duty of these men
was to watch the work of the opposi-
ton candidates and to promptly head
off any possible detection of strength
and to hasten all decisions. These
men were Senator Fulton of Oregon,
Warren of Wyoming, Burkett of Ne
braska, Long OF Kansas, Dorah OF
daho National Committeeman Chas.
+. Brooker of Connecticut, Powell
Clayton of Arkansas and Il. c. Dun
can of North Carolina.

shouting at the top Of their voices.
other delegations came in on the
wave and roar of laughter followed
when a flagpole to which was attach
ed a pair of trousers of most gener-
GUS proportions was held aloft by the
members Of the Texas delegation
Across the consolidated portion of the
trousers, fore and aft, were attached
Ilacards bearing the inscription:
"As pants the hart for cooling
streams, so Texas pants for Taft"
The blue banner with the picture
OF Taft was quickly raised by the
Ohio delegates, who whooped and
yelled like a batch OF Comanche In
dams. After holding 1t aloft for a
while they bore 1t down the aisle, fol.
lowed by others.
When the demonstration had been
under way twenty-five minutes, Chair
man Lodge, with the assistance of the
sergeant-at-arms and Taft floor man
ayers, managed to quiet the bubbling
enthusiasm OF the delegates and In
troduced Mr.. knight to second the
Taft nomination. His speech was
brief.
Chairman Lodge introduced G. B.
Mccoy OF Coshocton, Ohio, to place
in nomination the name of Senator
Foraker. The seconding speech was
made by w. o. Emery of Macon, Ga,

NEW WORKERS GET TOGETHER.
Decided on Sherman and Other States
Quickly Fell In Line.

Conferences extending far into the
night on Thursday had made apparent
progress toward clearing up the situa-
ton. New Rork state early in the
evening, in caucus characterized by
notable enthusiasm, suddenly dropped
its waiting attitude, buried the diff
ferences which all the week have kept
the empire state from being much Of
a factor in the convention and pressed
to the front of the vice-presidency sit
uation with its solid strength of IS
votes behind Congressman James s.
Sherman. This action by itself ap-
parently destroyed whatever chance
there has been OF the delegation TAX
ing up the candidacy of Secretary Cor
telyou, and his name was hardly
heard at all Thursday night
Beverage Talked OF.
An interesting development of the
night was the first appearance Of the
name Of United States Senator Bev.
eridge of Indiana. The mention of the
young Hoosier senator was received
with decided interest and there were
indications when the conference sus-
pended for the night that his case had
not been altogether disposed Of.

ed for the same object, with the same
purposes and ideas. I do not believe
there could be found in all the coun-
try a man so well fitted to be presi-
dent. He is not only absolutely fear
less, absolutely disinterested and up
right, but he has the widest acquaint-
ance of the nations needs without
and within, and the broadcast sympa-
thies with all our citizens. He would
be emphatically a president Of the
plain people, as much so as Lincoln,
yet not Lincoln himself would be freer
from the least faint of demagogy, the
least tendency to arouse or appeal to
Ieculiar and intimate knowledge Of
and sympathy with the needs of all
cur people, of the farmer, of the wage
worker, of the business man, of the
property owner. No matter what a
mans occupation or social position;
no matter what his creed. his color
or the section of the country from
which he comes, IL he is an honest,
hard-working man, who tries to do
his duty toward his neighbor and to-
ward the country, he can rest assured
that he will have in Mr.. Taft the most
upright of representative and the
most fearless of champions. Mr.. Taft
stands against privilege and he
stands prominently for the broad
principles of American citizenship,
which lie at the foundation of our ma
tional well.being."
