THIRD DAY
CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Ill, June 10, 1905
Permanent Chairman Henry Cabot
Lodge called the convention to order at
1917 o'clock when the invocation was
delivered by Rev. John ]. Hill.
Senator Hopkins of Illinois received
the recognition of the chair and there
was wave Of applause as he stepped
to the stage.
Representative II. A. Cooper of Wis
consin, selected to make the minority
report on the platform, also went to the
stage with a ripple of plaudits follow
ing him.
Although Senator Hopkins is a speak
er with excellent enunciation and a clear
resonant voice, making himself audible
throughout the hall. it was a task that
taxed his powers to the utmost. The
roar of conversation in the convention
swelled steadily as the senator's voice
grew a bit husky and some of the planks
were not heard clearly by the mass of
the delegates.
The tariff revision plank was not
heard or if it was it was disregarded en-
tirely. Not a single handicap followed
of that plank. The planks Immediately
following were given little attention and
were apparently unnoticed by the dele
gates.
The reading of the platform was con-
Guided at 11:16.

tative Cooper
1t was Senator Hopkins who spoke.
Kansas and Ohio seconded the motion
and it was put to viva voce vote and
declared carried, although there were
many "Noes" raised in opposition.
Congressman Cooper of Wisconsin
then submitted the minority and the de-
bate on the two sides followed.
All of the nominating speeches were
made early in the afternoon, and a VERT
able uproar followed the address which
placed Taft's name in nomination.
There was a demonstration after the
name of Ohio had been called on the
roll, but this was not drop in a
deluge compared to the roar that broke
out when Congressman Burton concluded
his speech nominating Taft.
The clerk ran rapidly down the list
of states and there was no response until
Illinois was reached. Then Representa-
tive Boutell of Illinois swept to the plat
form to nominate Speaker Cannon. The
enthusiastic cheers were quickly hushed
as Mr.. Boutell held up his hand for at
tention and began his address.
Representative ]. W. Fordney Of
Michigan made the second5n l;a speech n
platform Immediately after Mr. lou
tell had concluded his tribute to the
candidate of Illinois as ''the strongest
and bravest ally of President Roose-
velt.''

an upshot of colored bunting the dele
gates of that state were on their feet
with cheers for Vice President Fair

delegation lent practically all of the out

Illness Not Dangerous.
DEATH WOULD RAISE QUESTION.
Illness of Congressman Sherman Gives
Rise to Discussion.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 23.-When ap-
prised of the illness of Representative
James S. Sherman, the Republican vice
presidential nominee, Harry S. New,
chairman of the national committee, ex-
pressed great regret.
While the friends of Mr.. Sherman are
taking a hopeful view of the case, the
question naturally arose regarding the
course of procedure in case of his demise.
Mr.. New was clearly of opinion that in
such event the national committee would
have full power to name vice presiden-
tial candidate. They are, he said, vested
with similar power with regard to the
presidential candidate, but said that
where there was sufficient time before
election to do so the committee would re-
assemble the convention and have noun
ination made in the regular way.
While there is no precedent to guide
the national committee in filling a vacan-
ey. there seems to be no doubt that the
committee has authority to name can
didate for vice president in the event of
the death of Mr.. Sherman. This is the
opinion of a number of the members of
the national Republican committee, it be-
ing stated that the representative of the
state on the national committee stands
in the place of the state delegation to the
national convention, and therefore has
authority to act for the delegation in
the event of a vacancy on the national
ticket.
The same view regarding selection in
event of a vacancy is held by the Demo
Gratis, since at the st. Louis convention
four years ago, as Mr.. Davis, the nomi-
nee for vice president, was 80 years DID,
a resolution was passed by the conven-
ton authorizing the national Democratic
committee to fill vacancy in case of ne
cessity.

mounted the rostrum and was greeted by
Chairman Lodge who asked him what
his name was. The governor introduced
himself and the chairman presented him
to the convention.
Mayor Brookwalter of indianapolis
then made his way to the stage to Sec
ond the Fairbanks nomination.
When Mr.. Bookwalter had finished,
the call of the states was resumed and
there was no response until New York
was reached. Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford arose to nominate Gov. Hughes:
He was cheered Justify by members of
the New York delegates in which sew
eral other sections of the hall joined.
The nomination of Gov. Hughes. wac
seconded from the floor by FL. L. Adams,
colored delegate from the Fifth Virginia
district. Mr.. Adams made no attempt
at a speech, contenting himself with the
formal statement: II second the nomina-
ton of Gov. Hughes"
Lieut.-Gov. Murphy Of Pennsylvania
nominated Philander G. Knox. and
Henry Cochems of Wisconsin nominated
Robert NJ. La Toilette.

TIDE LAPS BOY ASLEEP,
Coney Island Beach and Is
Nearly Drowned.

NEW YORK, June 23.-The call of
Coney Island was too much for Albert
Sheldon, E years old, 206 Sixth street,
Jersey City, so, taking 10 cents from
his bank, he set out for the supposed
land of enchantment. When he reached
Coney Island his capital was gone. but
he had a good time seeing the sights"
until night came.
Albert, instead of crying, however, as
some other boys would have done, re-
membered what his hero scouts did under
the same conditions, so, going down to
the beach in front of the Hotel Ric-
cadonna, he dug hole in the sand, and,
covering himself up so that nothing but
his face was visible, he went to sleep.
But he had not counted on the rising
tide. and the waves were already break
ing over his head as he lay asleep when
he was found by Patrolman James Lam
bert and taken to the station house.
Albert's father went for him, and
father and son had a warm time in
Capt. Kelly's room. After it Albert an
nounced his intentions of remaining at
home in the future

DE SAGAN is WORRYING.
Prince Heie Spends Forenoon in En-
deavor to Have Marriage Occur
This Week.

LONDON, June 23.-Prince Helie de
Sagan spent the morning in making a
tour of the registry offices in an en-
deavor to discover means by which his
marriage with Nine. Anna Gould could
be carried out without that delay which
under the law of England usually accom-
panes such ceremonies.
At all the registry offices visited he
got the same response, namely, that the
only means recognized by the law to
avoid a fortnights residence here before
marriage is the special license that can
be issued only by the Archbishop of
Canterbury. AS Nine. Gould is divorced,
it is not believed that this license can be
obtained.
The couple were hopeful that the we'd
ding could take place the end of this
week, but the authorities declare, that
this is impossible without a special Ii
cense. Prince Helie is reported to have
renowned Catholicism in order to marry
Nine. Gould. 1t is declared that after
the wedding the couple will retire to tho
German estates of the prince.

by Harry S. New, chairman of the ma
tional committee.
Senator Burrows was warmly received
rs he stepped to the front of the plat
form extension arranged for the use Of
the speakers. He bowed his acknowl-
edgments and began his keynote ad-
dress at 1884 o. n.
Senator Burrows covered the last half
of bis address in much less time than
he did the first, and at times his voice
could not be heard two feet away.
After the address was concluded, the
convention began perfecting the tenn
porary organization by calling delega-
tons to name the members of the vari-
Gus committees.
The convention adjourned shortly aft
ler 2 o'clock until II o'clock noon
Wednesday.

SECOND DAY.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June ia demon
stration for President Roosevelt, lasting
forty-6ve minutes, fairly swept the Re
publican national convention off it's feet
this afternoon.
This uproar was all caused by the
mention of the Presidents name in the
address of the permanent chairman, Sem
,ator Lodge, and despite his appeals to
the delegates for quiet and the attempt
of the band to still the crowd, the pan
demonium continued undated.
Then someone threw a large Teddy
bear among the press seats and the scene
became Wild in its enthusiasm. The bear
was tossed about among the delegates,
causing increase ardor to the cries. Sen
Sator Lodge made several attempts to con-
Itinue his speech, but at every effort the
cheering would break out and he finally
gave up the idea.
The cry so familiar in the Cleveland
Harrison campaign of -four, four, four
years more" broke out in the gallery and.
accompanied as it was by a stamping Of
feet in unison with the chanted words,
produced a terrific uproar. The Texas
men caught it up on the floor and 1T
was roared back and forth between them
and the Colorado delegates.
When Senator Lodge said that anyone
who attempted to use the Presidents
name as a candidate was no friend to
the President, the cheering again broke
out But the seriousness of the state
ments being made brought the hall to
quietness.
The convention today was called to
order at 1920 by Temporary Chairman
Burrows. The opening prayer was said
by Rev. William 0. Waters of Chicago
and the report of the committee on Gre
dentials was then called for.
The committee report simply seats all
the present delegates, except adding six
delegates from New Mexico, giving them
a third of a vote EACH
Before the committee reported, there
was a parade of the different marching
clubs through the Coliseum.
Chairman Burrows interrupted the
regular order of business long enough
to introduce to the convention Henry
Baker of Minnesota, and James D. Con.
nor of Indiana, two gray-bearded vet
Grams Of the party who were delegates
to the first Republican convention in
1856.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana offered
a resolution extending greetings to John
AIDE of Indiana, a veteran of the Repub-
lican party since it's inception, and
rendering him a seat on the platform
Mr. AIDE. who is the father of George
AIDE, was heartily applauded as he
mounted the rostrum. A similar motion
for like reasons, was offered in behalf

convention. He repeatedly waved ais
hand to the convention, motioning them
to resume their seats, but it was several
minutes before he was able to commence
his speech.
Il would rather be a doorkeeper in
the house of the Lord than to dwell in
the tents Of wickedness," he began and
cheers and laughter greeted the remark.
The big picture of Sherman was up
raised instantly the result was announced
and for five minutes the convention was
in an uproar.
A professional cheer leader with a flag
and a megaphone rushed to the front Of
the platform. He made quite a reputa-
ton at the convention of four years ago,
young man by the scruff of the neck and
sent him whirling back to his place.
''Shall the nomination be made unani-
mous?'' said Chairman Lodge, and he
recognized Senator Crane of Massachu-
sets, who made a motion in accordance
of Gov. Guild. New Jersey and Nebras-
ka quickly trailed on, and when the mo-
ton was put it was carried with shout
of approval.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
offered the usual resolution to appoint the
permanent chairman, Senator Lodge, as
chairman of the committee to notify the
presidential nominee ana InaC Temporary
Chairman Senator J. G. Burrows he ap-
pointed to head the committee to notify
the vice presidential nominee.
Chairman Lodge, who is going abroad
during the summer, requested that Sena-
tor William Warner of Missouri, past
commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., be
substituted in his place. This resolution
was unanimously adopted with this
amendment.
The usual motions OF Acknowledgement
to the officers of the convention and to
the city in which it was held, were
passed.
Judson w. Lyon of Georgia was recog-
nized to make the motion to adjourn
without day. 1t was put into effect at
11:47 a. N. The band played '"The Star
Spangled Banner" the delegates rapid
ly left the hall and the convention Of
1908 had made it's way into history.
